IPhone 4s WiFi not available?

Why is my iPhone telling me that my wifi is not available.
My Bluetooth is still searching. 2 weeks now.
I just updated to IOS 7.1.2

No, the fault is not detected by the 'new software'.  Search this forum.  This issue has been reported on a small percentage of iPhone 4S units for a very long time.  All the way back to iOS 5.  There were people on this very forum, back in late 2011 (two years before iOS 7 came out), reporting greyed-out wi-fi on iPhone 4S units back then.
This hardware issue is resolved under warranty, as any other hardware issue is resolved.  That's one year from date of purchase, or two years from date of purchase if the AppleCare Protection Plan was purchased for the device.
As far as me 'blindly believing Apple', um... no.  I've criticized Apple in the past for certain issues.  But I deal in facts, not emotions, when it comes to technical issues.
And it's clear that I've 'gone out there and found out more about the issue'.  Feel free to research this very forum for more information.
You've obviously got an axe to grind against Apple.  Why else would you reply to a post that is 9 months old?  And I see you've spread the same misinformation elsewhere.
It's not iOS 7.  It wasn't iOS 6.  It wasn't iOS 5.  It's the defective hardware.  It is 'revealed' when the processor generates more heat than the wi-fi chip can tolerate.  Sometimes the wi-fi chip is permanently damaged.  Other times it is 'partially damaged', which is when these home-brewed fixes work.
Do I personally think Apple should offer some type of program for iPhone 4S customers that experience this issue and are outside of warranty?  Yes, I've said so in the past.  But this forum is for technical assistance, regarding the facts and reality of the current situation; it's not for speculation.  Use www.apple.com/feedback to give feedback to Apple regarding their policies.  That's the appropriate place; not this forum.
As I posted:  Use the articles I provided to troubleshoot the issue.  If the issue persists, get the device serviced.
No one is trying to hide anything.  There's nothing to hide.  It's a technical issue with hardware.  The articles on how to address the issue have been posted.  And I don't have to 'follow you' when you're bumping old threads with incorrect information and propoganda.

  • Downloading iCloud songs to play on iPhone when wifi not available uses way too much data

    When I am out of town (camping) or away from a wifi site and want to play a song with the iCloud symbol, I have to use a lot of data - I'd like songs to be available to me to play whenever I want without having to download or be near a wifi site...help!

    We are in the same boat.  Got our daughter a 5S in February, it came with iOS 7.1 and it consistently uses at least double, if not tripple the amount of data that her 4S did (with 7.1 loaded).  She uses the same apps that she did before, no more, no less.  We have done ALL the tweaks recommended on the various boards, shut off cellular to apps, etc.  We have been arguing with AT&T (our provider) and Apple.  AT&T states that the usage is the usage and what is being reported by the device.  We have been to Apple and had the phone wiped clean and new iOS 7.1 loaded.  As a test with the 5S, with everything off cellular except Safari, I reset the statistics to 0 and then went to three websites (google, ask, webcrawler).  I then used my personal iphone 4S (on verizon), reset the statistics and went to the same three websites.  The 5S used more than double the data that the 4S did to load the same pages.
    (I went to the pages first prior to resetting the statistics so that they would be cached)
    Can anyone explain this?   The Apple Genius tech could not and replaced the device.  Guess what.....  The new device does the same thing.
    I am so disgusted with this whole thing AT&T <----- | -----> Apple.......  No answers.  Its obviously a problem..  Either Device, iOS (starting with 6) or communication between device and networks (Sim Card?)
    Has anyone ever solved this since it arose in 2012??

  • Iphone 3G wifi not working after upgrade

    Iphone 3G wifi not working after software upgrade, no proper fix from Apple. APPLE SUPPORT - R U SLEEPING.......

    You are not talking to Apple. This is a user to user forum.
    If you're using the iPhone 3G, there will be no fix for your problem. The software you have, 4.2.1, is the end of the line for the 3G. Apple is no longer providing software updates for the 3G.

  • How to fix iphone 4s wifi not working

    How to fix wifi not working on iphone 4s after it is updated to ios 7 ?
    Here is what fixed my wife's phone after several weeks of no wifi. We had removed the Sims card and transferred to another phone which was running ios 6. My son was visiting and said Apple had come out with an update a few days ago and he decided to attempt to install it on the 4s phone that had no wifi and no cellular because the sims card was removed. He tapped the icon to update the new ios version and received the message to the effect that No WiFi available would you like to search for available networks. He selected yes and immediately the wifi came on and has been working now for two days. Also we never installed the update to the new ios.
    My advice is to remove your sims card like we did or trun off your cellular and attempt the update to see if you get the message to search for available networks and then of course choose yes. Go figure. Hope this works for you.

    The disappearance of the IMEI is usually indicative of a fairly serious hardware problem. Contact Apple to arrange for an evaluation.

  • HT201274 erase all contect, wifi not available

    How do I erase all content on an ipod touch without being connected to wifi?  It keeps asking for my username and password, however the internet is not available as my router died.

    If you have a fifth-generation iPod touch with iOS 7 and set up Find My iPod, then you will have to turn that off before you can erase the iPod. See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    If it requires an Internet connection - I'm not sure - then you will have to find a valid Wi-Fi connection you can use.

  • Unlocked Iphone says Carrier: Not Available

    Hello everyone! I bought 1 month ago an unlocked Iphone 5C from the apple store.
    When I was looking in settings < general < About I saw that under Carrier it says Not Available instead of Carrier 13.0
    I am very worried... Is my device unlocked? What happened? The only time I inserted a Sim Card, it was for setting it up. I inserted a Virgin Mobile SIM card
    What can I do now? Please give me am answer because I am worried.

    Is there a sim associated with an active wireless account in the iPhone?
    If no sim, there will not be a carrier shown.

  • TS1398 Iphone 5 Wifi not working

    Hi Apple .
         My wifi not working ...i have already try reset network it seem the same .... sometime i only able to use for few hours after that my wifi not working anymore and sometime event i have to shut down my iphone for wifi connection . Now it become more worst sometime i unable to turn on my wifi .... pls email me for solution . I purchase my iphone from Apple Store online from malaysia but currently im working at oversea . Can i get warranty at Taiwan ?

    The iPhone warranty is not international.  Apple will only honor the warranty in the country where the iPhone was sold.
    If your WiFi connections button in Settings is greyed out, see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559 and if you want to Troubleshoot, and can access the router, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398 those may help but you probably need to have the iPhone tested by an Apple technician.

  • Iphone 5 wifi not stable/wifi range issues

    I know there are loads of discussions but every discussion that I went through seemed without any solution.
    I have just bought a new iphone 5 considering that my iphone 4 broke down.  With the iphone 4 I have never had any wifi instability even on the latest ios 6.1.4
    I noticed that when I'm near my home router wifi stability is better.  My home router  has the 5ghz signal too.  When I'm near another 2.4ghz router, and with near I mean 1.5 metres the wifi signal keeps changing from 2 to 3.  I noticed that it seems to have a shorter range as well.
    Is there something that can be done?  Now I'm feeling more of an idiot.  I should have waited for the new iphone but couldn't wait and I didn't know that the internet is filled to the brim with iphone 5 wifi issues.
    PLEASE HELP
    PS  I did a hard reset, removed a plastic cover but none of this helped.

    Hey MGV1,
    Thanks for the question and detailed information. There are definitely a lot of factors that come into play when troubleshooting Wi-Fi signal strength, one of which is interference:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1365
    iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
    All in all, there are a bunch of factors that can impact network performance and range (2.4GHz vs. 5GHz, standards like 802.11n vs. 802.11ac). It may be best to consult with your ISP or network administrator, or look into extending the range of your network:
