IPhone 4s Wifi button dimmed and Push Notifications aren't working.

My wifi button has been dimmed out for 4 months and only just recently my push notifications havent been working.
My phone has been updated to the iOS 7.1
and no changes to my problems have occured.
How the wifi button doesnt work:
- I tap on button nothing happens
- i can still use my data/credit
- i swipe up the screen,and tap on the wifi button,it turns on but wifi doesnt come up
- its not a dead spot on the screen
How Push Notifications dont work:
-Facebook,Twitter,Tumblr,Instagram etc wont show any notification signs
-i have to go onto the app to recieve my notifications
- text messgaes still pop up on my lock screen
I dont know if these sort of problems should be taken to the Apple store,im uncertain on to how much it would cost to get my phone fixed due to i have no warrenty on my phone.
It would be appreciated if you could help me with anything you know that could help me fix my phone.
Thank You

can you tell me exactly what you did to fix this.  I am having the same problem.  I have deleted the affected apps and reloaded them and it still wont work right.

Lame huh?? Well, I'm SO FRUSTRATED!!!!

My dad went away for a few months, and that's why I got my iPad, now I haven't been able to talk with him for over a week... I'm desperate people!! ;) help mee pretty please with a cherry on top!

  • IPhone 4 wifi playing up=no push notifications

    Hi All,
    Hoping that I can explain this the best I can and that someone will be able to help me.
    I'm having a really annoying time with my iPhone because of what seems to be something related with the wifi connection.
    When at home, I switch off my 3G connection and use only my wifi connection. I do this as I had experienced trouble when I first got my phone because although the wifi icon was active it was using my 3G connection and I burnt through the usage on my plan in the space of 2 days without knowing!
    What is happening now is really strange and, as far as I can tell, has only been since installing iOS 4.2.
    When I turn the screen on (via home button or sleep/wake button) the wifi icon is not displayed until about 1 second later. This leads me to believe that somehow, unless the phone is "active" the wifi is not being streamed into the phone which is resulting in absolutely NO push notifications being sent to the phone. Nothing. No Emails, no facebook, no PingChat you name it-NOTHING!
    This is obviously extremely annoying as a) I want to be alerted when I receive mail etc and b) I am now having to individually check all the accounts/apps for new messages etc.
    The reason I think it may be iOS 4.2 related is that I can't remember this happening before the upgrade, and my wife's phone (which I haven't yet had the time to upgrade) displays the wifi icon constantly and receives all push data.
    Sorry for the long message but I wanted to explain it as best I could.
    Anyone experiencing the same problem or perhaps have a solution. I'm hesitant to keep the 3G on as well as the wifi due to problem I had previously had.
    Thanks all for your time.

    Turning 3G network access off alone does not turn off internet access via the cellular network via EDGE or GPRS, whichever is available at the time with 3G access turned off.
    Turning Cellular Data off on the iPhone prevents internet access entirely via the cellular network.
    With wi-fi access on and the iPhone connected to an available wi-fi network while the iPhone is not connected to a power source, wi-fi access will be turned off when the iPhone is asleep to conserve battery. When waking the iPhone up, it will quickly reconnect to the wi-fi network. When the iPhone is connected to a power source while connected to a wi-fi network, it will remain connected to the wi-fi network while asleep.

  • Wifi button dimmed and grey

    I have updated the software on my iphone 4s and I have lost the wifi connection. The wifi button is dimmed and grey and cannot be selected. I have taken the phone to the local agent and said that they cannot be fixed. Is this true? I am really disappointed at the customer care service provided by both the Apple registered agent in Malta and the mobile service provider, both of whom keep saying they have nothing to do with the problem! Can anyone help please?

    Yes I've been offered a replacement at a cost of €250! But I do not think this is fair as apparently it seems that the problem happened as a result of updating my software! If Apple know about such problems, which after going through some blogs online seems to be quite a common one, should replace / fix the phone at NO COST to the client!!  I am an Apple fan and have 2 tablets and an iphone and have just ordered a 27" imac for my son...I am truly disappointed at this! I am still expecting some decent service from the company which boosts it's loyal service to its customers! I am for one a very dissatisfied customer!! I want my iphone fixed just like it was before I upgraded to IOS 7.1.1

  • Apps on iPhone 4 connect to iTunes and push notification after update ios6.1

    I update ios 6.1 on iPhone 4 and every time turn Facebook or line apps pop up connect to iTunes and push notification

    This definitely works and only takes a couple of minutes. There is no need for backing up or resetting your phone.
    Go to Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network Settings

  • HT3529 I have had my iPhone unlocked properly but now on my new network, with the same number, iMessage and push notifications have stopped working. Any solutions?

    I have tried restoring my iphone twice as recommened by my local apple store staff, still no luck

    Is the new carrier you're using an official iPhone carrier? Apple warns that not all features of an iPhone will be available when using an iPhone with a non-supported carrier.
    Who is your new carrier?

  • Problems with iPod Touch- YouTube and Push Notifications

    After installing iOS4 on my 64gb iPod Touch I've noticed I cannot view YouTube videos and push notifications do not work.
    The YouTube app launches, however if I try to search or play a video a pop up will read "Cannot connect to YouTube". If I go to YouTube's newly redesigned mobile site they work fine.
    Although all my settings are the same as they have ever been, push notifications do not work. When launching any app with push notification support it always states "Connect to iTunes to use push notifications". I've done this, but nothing works.
    For the record, I've never jailbroken or in any other way altered my device. I've tried performing a hard reset with no success, as well as letting the battery drain completely and shutting off before recharging.
    Thanks for any help.

    Downgrading is not supported by Apple.
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • IMessage and push notifications not working after installing iOS 7!!

    My iMessages and push notifications don't work after installing iOS7..!!! I can't even log in to iMessages using my Apple ID.. And every time I log into Facebook or whatsapp it keeps telling me to connect to iTunes to receive push notifications..!!
    I connected to iTunes on my comp and tried resetting my phone.. Nothing works!! HELP

    Its stuffed, iMessage and facetime are both sitting on "waiting for activation" so they are not working, 1 post suggested resetting the phone again setting up as a new phone and then turning iMessage and Facetime on and then restoring.  After the reset iMessage and Facetime started working, I did the restore and it stopped working again.  Nice waste of 2 hours.

  • Push Notifications Are Not Working

    I'm currently using an iPhone 4 (iOS 4.3.3) and push notifications have stopped working. The only app that seems to still be pushing is TextPlus. In my case Facebook, Scrabble, Gowalla and Twitter have all stopped working.
    Here is what I have already tried:
    Restored my iPhone
    General --> Reset --> Reset All Settings
    None of these things worked. Are there any suggestions that will definitively help fix this issue? I'm at a loss.
    Thanks

    I have the exact same problem you have? I can occasionally getpushnotification, but only once a day fore facebook. For twitter, I get nothing and newer got. Other programs never got any notification att all.Push notification is on both under notification center and therespective programs.I have iOS 5.0.1 on iPhone 4S.

  • Push notification doesn't work

    I have ipad 2 iOS 5.0.1 ,, notification of facebook , twitter and some apps doesn't work at all
    And push notification doesn't work of all apps
    Help plzz

    Be sure that Push Notifications are on in Settings. If they are try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    I can't see wy it might help but perhaps if you update your iOS to 5.1 the problem will correct itself.

  • IOS 7.0.3 upgrade killed Facetime, iMessage and Push Notifications

    Facetime, iMessage and Push Notifications were working fine on my iPhone 4.
    Since I upgraded to iOS 7.0.3 Facetime and iMessages cannot be activated because of 'Network error' and every app that supports 'Push Notifications' suggest to 'Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications' at start.
    Already tried to 'Reset as new phone' and restore from iCloud without any luck.
    Suggestions ?

    Ever since I got the 7.0.3 update on my iPhone 4 I get the "iMessage Activation: Could not sign in. Please check your network conection and try again". I can access icloud stuff using my apple ID fine elsewhere. I received iMessages on my laptop through the Messages app but anyone else who uses Messages has their iMessage sent to my laptop and not to my phone. I used to get the messages both at the same time.
    I've tried removed the locate iphone app, reset the network settings, rebooted the phone, reconnected to my wifi and synched with iTunes. Nothing has worked.
    I'm getting ready to restore the phone now in hopes that doing that works. Never had a problem with updates till now and while this is annoying at least my data is intact!
