Iphone 4s wifi stuck / greyed out at ios 6.1.3

Hey, I just upgraded to ios 6.1.3 and my iphone wifi button greyed out also my processor started hanging a lot so i tried number of methods like software restore, freezer but nothing happened instead i also upgraded to ios 7 and i tried freezer method again which ruined my iphone's audio, now its audio is very less
Can anyone please help.....?

What a a lot of people have been telling me is to turn Airplane Mode on and then reset settings and iPhone, and that should sort it.
I haven't done it myself, But you could give that a go
As for the audio, sorry I don't know about that.
Hope you sort it out soon, my wifi is having trouble also (silly phone)

IPhone 5 wifi symbol greyed out/wifi will not stay connect?

I had an iphone 5 that was having some battery issues, so I took it in and they replaced it with a new 5 (16 gig). I restored my backup, and when the restore was done, I couldn't turn on the wifi. The pull up setting was blacked out and in settings I couldn't move the switch to 'on'. I rebooted the phone, and that fixed the problem for a little bit. Eventually my wifi connection would either disconnect and quickly reconnect or just turn off all together. This can't be a wifi issue, since my ipad and my families apple devices are working fine. I've tried deleting my phone and using it as a new one, reseting the network settings (multiple times) and almost everything I can think of. This has been going on for a few weeks, and every time the wifi cuts out I have to either reboot the phone multiple times, or, if I get lucky, just turn it off and then on again. Its getting annoying and I don't know how to fix it without switching to a new, non apple device, which I really don't want to do. Any advice? (i have the newest software btw, updating changed nothing)

Hello emconway,
Check against the article below with the troubleshooting that you have done. You also said that you had your iPhone replaced and it still has at least a 90 day warranty on it if it was serviced by Apple, so you may need to take it back to have it looked it.

TS1559 iPhone 4s Wifi settings "Greyed out"

This is the 3rd Iphone that this problem has occured with and Apple keep saying its an Itunes or backup or something, but either way cannot fix this. Any ideas, it is only been since the new IOS version has been installed but no idea how to progress, Apple are not too helpful
Phone restored to factory settings and restored from backup from over a year ago.

If nothing works, make an appointment at an Apple store.

Why Apple is silent about 4s wifi getting greyed out and not responding to this issue? many ppl suffer from this and this is absurd!

Why Apple is silent about iPhone 4s wifi getting greyed out with iOS updates 8.0.2 and 8.1 and did not respond to this issue officially? Many people are suffering from this affected service. How can you trust us to buy new iPhones when you stop supporting us with the ones we have since they are still upgradable to the latest iOS.
Is there any chance that we will be given the support and would this issue be fixed with any upcoming updates? My iPhone when its battery is drained totally and I start it again the WIFI works until I try to choose another network or somehow I disable it then blackout!
This is definitely a software issue that we never had problems before this update.
Show us that you care for your products at least and provide us with a solution please.

That doesn't help at all.. I can only have it enabled if the battery gets drained out totally then when I restart it the WIF is on. then back greyed out.. that is not a serious reply, really!
Yes, it's a serious reply. Did you actually read the information at the link I posted? Especially the last sentence? The fact that it appeared when you updated to iOS 8 has no bearing on the validity of the article. It is not specific to any version.

I have a iphone 4s. Recently the wifi greyed out when i was on ios 7.0.4 and itunes said to update the phone to ios 8.0.2 to solve the problem. Today i did it and still wifi is greyed out. In the "About" under Settings, it shows N/A infront of wifi

i have an iphone 4s. Recently the wifi settings greyed out when i was using ios 7.0.4. When i connected it to itunes, it showed that update your iphone. At an apple forum they said that updating will solve this problem. I just updated it to 8.0.2 but still wifi is greyed out. In settings>general>about, there is an option of wifi address which shows N/A. What is the problem? Is is the hardware? Kindly guide me.

There are many threads on this forum about this issue. Do a forum search for "wi-fi greyed out" and see if any of the solutions therein will work for you. Best of luck.

IPhone 4S wifi greyed out on iOS 7 - Apple's in-store response

I was in the Apple Store on London two days ago to complain about my new IPhone 5s having wifi outages and a battery life of about 5 hours (of standby) when a woman came in and asked why her iPhone 4S has a greyed out wifi icon since the upgrade to iOS7. She was told her hardware had failed and that she should buy a new phone, or spend hundreds of pounds having it repaired by Apple. If only I was aware then as I am now that Apple are destroying iPhone 4 phones with their new software;
http://www.nextiphonenews.com/2013/11/why-is-apple-inc-aapls-ios-7-update-destro ying-old-iphones/
I presume this is Apple's company policy to sell more units. Sadly I didn't intervene but I wish I knew now that it's a common problem and that Apple are deleting posts on here about it to cover up. This elderly woman's phone was 18months old, so even out of warranty it's with the scope of consumer law for a free replacement.
I hope posting this helps others out there who might be being told similar things.
...my 5s? Refund for me. It doesn't work at all. Worse than the iPhone 4 it replaces in every way.

Is there a technical support question in that conspiracy theory somewhere?

HT4623 after I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6.1 I can't access my WiFi (The greyed out Wi-Fi button)

after I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6.1 I can't access my WiFi (The greyed out Wi-Fi button)

Most likely the iphone was hacked to unlock it from the original carrier
updating the iOS will relock a hacked iPhone to that Carrier

Just an update it is a hardware issue and very common for iPhone 4s. I have to get my phone rewired which basically means new wireless chip. The amount of money I spent on buying an iPhone I should not expect to have anyway hardware problems happening. Make sure you have a warranty as luckily I've saved myself from spending more money to get this problem fixed.

About a month ago my wifi switch greyed out. I went through all the trouble shooting and ended up going to the Genius Bar and got a new iPhone 4S. Now the switch greyed out on the new one.. help!

My iPhone Wifi is greyed out.
In Uruguay in Cellular Center (+598 2 903 3333) that is where I buyed it told me it has no solution, it´s a problem of hardware accepted by Apple, that Apple change the phone in this cases, but that they can´t change it by another new one because their warrantee is 3 months and I bought in december, 2012. It cost me US$ 1,250 and I want a solution because I saw in the Apple web that iPhone warrantee is 1 year and I am still covered by it.
I have the invoice dated December 24, 2012.
Do you have any solution to my problem?
It is hard to believe that a so expensive iPhone has a life of 6 months.
Do I need to take my iPhone to anywhere they can solve its problem?
Thank you so much.

My wifi is greyed out on my iPhone 4S

My wifi is greyed out on my iPhone 4S and tried almost everything like putting it in the freezer and the hair drying method and draining the battery and restore my phone and I even contacted the Apple Store and they said I had to pay $19.99 to get it fixed but they dont guarantee that it will work. So I dont want to pay for something that they arent even sure about. I have been looking for a solution to this for weeks now and I dont want to keep using my cellular data and get charged for going over my limit! HELPPPPP!

It seems you contacted AppleCare who would have charged you a fee of $19.99 for troubleshooting the issue as you must have been out of your 90 days complimentary phone support. The $69.99 would have been for AppleCare Protection plan which would extend your hardware coverage for another year making it 2 from the date of purchase.
To have your phone evluated at an Apple Retail Store is completely. Also if you are still within your 1 year limited warranty and you need a replacement that would be free of charge. The only time you need to pay for a replacement would be if there was physical or liquid damage to the phone or depending on your country/region if you are out of your 1 year limited warranty.

LISTEN EVERYONE WHO HAS PROBLEMS WITH WIFI WHEN UPDATING iOS6
If your wifi is greyed out:
you need to go to the apple store. You're wifi chip has expired! Wifi chip experation dates were checked upon the new software, that is why some iPhones still work and others don't. They will replace it for you free of charge (don't quote me on this). It was free for me.
I myself have an iPhone4S and they told me exactly this.

Upgraded to iOS7 - WIFI still greyed out.. Any fixes?

I previously had the problem on the previous iOS 6.1.4 or whatever the most up to date was.
I've now upgraded to iOS7, reset network settings, reinstalled the operating system, full phone resets etc.
Unfortunately I STILL have the problem that my WIFI is greyed out!
I'm running an iPhone 4S by the way.
Can't believe for one minute, that after all the problems on the previous iOS that a fix hasn't been put in place - so if anyone knows of one, i'd really appreciate it.
That android devil is becoming more angelic!
I've also had my phone just over a year, so I assume that the warranty is now expired?? I know - i've had the problems for some time and I really should have got my arse into gear and took it in for repair before now!
Regards,
Andrew.

I guess I don't have to wait
I got it fixed
someone delete this post please

WiFi Was Greyed out

My iPhone's WiFi was working great on iOS 6.0.1 till 13th Feb'13 no problems whatsoever, until yesterday it failed over night without me knowing. The WiFi option was still available but unable to connect to my home network and when I rebooted the phone, the WiFI was greyed out. It has not been working since.
Somehow i manageed to install 6.1.1 and i thought it may fix the problem but same problem...the WiFI is still greyed out. I do not understand why it has failed. I bought this 4S in July and have never dropped it .The WiFi was working great till yesterday and suddently this happened. I won't understand what kind of application/phone Apps have released. Its seem they are just want to stay in the market instead giving a good service to their customer.
I have reseted the network settings, restored the phone and even tried using the phone as new and this has still not fixed the problem.
Never expect such kind of phone from a company like Apple.

It takes two to Tango. But it was technically a Software Error in the boot sequence, but the Hardware is actively reading the boot information and has to respond accordingly. Sounds like it was a one time glitch. Keep an eye on it. You iPhone still has full Warranty.
