IPhone 4s won't let me turn on the Wi-Fi

iPhone 4S won't let me turn on Wi-Fi

Most likely your iPhone WiFi is faulty and no simple fix is possible. Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. If still problem, restore iPhone with iTunes on computer to see if you can get the WiFi working. If still problem after the Restore, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send iPhone to Apple for resolution.

    My iPhone 4S is not letting me turn on my iPhone and I've reset network setting and restored it but it hasn't worked what do I do???

    Hi Lullita.
    This is a common problem on iphone 4s using ios 7.
    I have had this problem myself.
    Try basic troubleshooting : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
    If that doesnt help, try this.
    Go to youtube and type this " 4s wifi grey" ... You will find a couple of videos describing a method which includes blowdrying your phone and puttin it into freezer. This method does fix your wifi, I know I have tried it myself, and it brought back my wifi and bluetooth, which were greyed out.
    But be very careful, this method can damage your device if youre not careful enough. Do this at your own risk.
    Hope I helped.

    Have you created another admin user? Go to system preferences click users and click the + to add a user; if you haven't already. Once you have another admin user other then the "test" user make sure you're signed out of the test user account. Sign in with the alternate ADMIN USER that you just created or had created already and go back to SYSTEM PREFERENCES and click the same USERS icon near the bottom. Now select the TEST user and click the - sign. This should prompt you if your sure you want to delete the user account. And your done.
    New User created and Test User deleted... I hope this helps.

  • On my iPhone 4s it won't let me turn on the wifi switch.

    Under settings and under wifi the switch is grey and it won't let me turn it on. I've tried restarting and I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any ideas?
    Edit: I even reset the Network settings and it still won't work.

    The WiFi chip has failed.  You'll need to bring your phone into Apple.

  • My iphone 4 won't turn on unless it is plugged into the wall. Also, my iphone won't let me turn on the wi-fi. And another problem is that it sometimes says "searching..." but it still works. And I already reseted the network setting and all settings.

    Please help

    Hello there, JP3199.
    You've mentioned a few issues in your post so I will try to offer up some recommendations for troubleshooting each. In regards to the issue of not powering on unless plugged in the following Knowledge Base article offers some practical steps to try:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    In regard to being unable to turn on Wi-Fi, if you mean that the button is grayed out, then this article should prove useful:
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Restart your iOS device.
    Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
    If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, see how to resolve those Wi-Fi issues.
    Lastly, this article should help with troubleshooting cellular network connection on your iOS device:

  • My iphone 5s won't let me turn on my caller id

    My caller id switches itself off automatically and when I go into settings it will not allow me to switch it back on.

    Hi,  try this method, it works for me on an iphone4 & 4S (iOS7)
    make sure you have all apps closed before next steps.
    -Go to Settings, Phone, Show My Caller ID. (if button is Greyed Out)
    -Pull down Control Centre & Turn On Airplane Mode & return to Show My Caller ID screen.
    -Now slide your screen from right to left taking you to another screen, then slide back to your Show My Caller ID screen.
    -Now You Can turn ON or OFF your Caller ID Button. Choose ON or OFF.
    -Lastly slide down you Control Centre again and Turn OFF your Airplane Mode.
    Thats it Job done, now it should be working.
    Please note, it will now stay in the mode that you have chosen(ON or OFF) even if you respring or reboot your phone. But if you return back to
    Show My Caller ID screen, then you SIM Provider will automatically Disable your Caller ID screen BUTTON once again. So just repeat the steps
    above and your be fine.
    Hope this helps.

    If the steps in the article TJBUSMC1973 linked didn't resolve your issue, then the next step would be to have your phone serviced at an Apple store. Good luck
