Iphone 5C wifi greyed out and screen going crazy

Hi I bought my iPhone back in October in Us from Tmobile, since December the wifi greyed out and hasn't worked once (been living on data) now recently the screen goes crazy, it types by its self unlocks the phone (dont have a password) sometimes calls people etc... now the thing is I recently moved to Dubai and I cant go to a apple store as we do not have one here, so could I ship my phone to States and have apple repair it or give me a replacement if I pay for their shipping costs back to Dubai ? Thanks for any help I can get

If not jailbroken, restore the iOS. Most likely there is a hardware problem
The warranty is valid only in the USA.  Apple will not accept shipment from or ship to any address outside the USA for this phone.

  • TS1559 The wi-fi in my iphone 4S is 'greyed out' and i am not able to switch it on. I have tried resetting the network settings but nothing happened. I can't even download the new iOS7 version as it requires WI-FI to do so. Please help.

  • WIFI GREYED OUT AND APPLE WANTS TO CHARGE 200$....

    Seriously,
    I've had my 4s for about 2 years now and since updating to IOS 7.04 my wifi has greyed out and will not work. I've tried all the reseting issues(airplane mode, reset network settings, erase all settings), all of these have fixed issue for about 20 minutes and then wifi greys out again. I went to an Apple store and they were willing to change the phone for a 200$ fee. Seriously?? I can't believe that Apple would do this. This is my first experience with an Apple product being defective and I was appalled. I was with blackberry for over 10 years and anytime I had an issue with warranty there was not questions asked and device was replaced and I did not have to pay anything. I was at the Apple store at 9am and there was about 50 customers with issues. WOW!! All that to say that I'm now stuck with a device that has now WIFI. This is just great.
    Thank you APPLE for your great support!!

    Like I said on my previous post. I am not complaining about the warranty, If the phone becomes defective and it is my fault and I don't have a warranty anymore, I'm fine with paying to get a new phone. I'm just saying, when its become clear that this is an issue with the update that Apple has sent and to no fault of mine that my wifi is not working anymore(and others can concur that they've been having the same wifi issue after updating to IOS 7 and later), it would be very sincere of a company as big as Apple and seems willing to help their customers stay with their products, that they should be abit more attentive to the consumer that spends their hard earned money on their product. Especially when it seems to be that the phone is not working because of their updates that they have sent.

  • TS1559 Iphone 4s Bluetooth greyed out and unavalible

    Help.... The Bluetooth on my Iphone 4s stopped working a few days ago.  When reviewing the general settings the Bluetooth (word) is greyed out and reads unavaliable.  If i select the bluetooth option, there is a on off toggle swith, but it is greyed out as well and will not allow me to turn it on.  I have tried turning the Air Plane mode on and off, rebooting, resetting the network and finally a total restore.  Nothing has worked to fix this problem. 
    If anyone can shed some light on this, I would greatly appreciate the help. 

    Restore as new, if that fails to resolve take it to Apple for evaluation.

  • Wifi greyed out and wont turn on

    just did the latest upgrade in software and now my wifi has been greyed out and wont turn on.
    contacted apple and they let me know that it is my problem and will have to buy a new phone. anyone find a way to make the wifi work if the upgrade has a glitch in it?

    I had this same problem - if your phone is still under warrantly then apple will replace it for you for free.
    Otherwise you will need to pay for a replacement.
    They will tell you to reset and restore etc but replacement was the only option for me.

  • Iphone turns on for a moment screen goes crazy then shuts off

    About a month or two ago I was using my brand new iPhone 3GS when all of a sudden the screen went black (backlight still on) then went crazy pixels everywhere sometimes overlapping each other then it shut off. I couldn't turn it on regularly so I waited till I got home and plugged it in, I then soft reset it and it turned back on, I had no problems until the next day it shut off in my pocket and once again I soft reset it. This happened for a few days until it finally would turn on, I'd get to the apple logo then the screen goes crazy and shuts off.
    This thing has never seen water so I'm positive it isn't water damage. What could it be?

    im taking it in today to see about getting it fixed, just wanted to see if there was any other way or if anyone else was having the same problem

  • IPhone WiFi greyed out and Bluetooth loading forever...

    What I have is a 32GB White iPhone 4. It came pre-owned but undamaged on ebay. What's happening is that when I try to turn on WiFi in settings I cant because it is "greyed out", meaning I cant select anything or switch the toggle. Also, my bluetooth isnt working either and the option to turn it on is replaced by it showing the spinning "loading" icon forever. On top of all this, when I go to check the MAC address, it shows it as "Wifi Address: N/A".
    I have tried resetting network settings, tried restoring from iTunes, tried DFU mode, consulted Apple about a 125GBP repair (Which I think is too expensive)... And when I got REALLY desperate, I even tried the infamous freezer trick.
    What should I do? How can I fix this cost effectively and determine whether this device is suffering hardware or software-wise?
    Thanks in advance,
    Themankymoo

    I guess if you have already tried it that many times then it really must be hardware. Obviously opening it up is not something Apple supports and it would void the warranty but since it doesn't exactly have one that is really up to you. If you can find a kit somewhere online or if you have some shop near by that will fix it for you for much less than the $149 to replace with Apple then thats a very open option that you have available.

  • 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?

  • Ipod touch 5th wifi greyed out and turned off. Will not turn on.

    I combed through FAQs and communities and see that I am one of the lucky people with 2 iPod touch 5th Gens with greyed out Wifi that will absolutely not turn on.  I have tried all the suggestions out there, resetting heating, cooling, etc.  I have updated to ios 8. Has anyone come up with a solution to this problem?  Of course these are no longer covered with Apple Care.  You would think Apple would have a replacement program for this problem since there are plenty of people having this issue.

    See:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
    Also heating sometimes works. See:

    A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up

    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

  • WIFI greyed out and already tried resetting

    I recently upgraded my wifi router and had to reset all of my devices.  When I turned my ipod back on, the wifi button is greyed out.  Apple said to reset the settings which I did three times.  But it is still grey.  Any advice?

  • MBP retina: wifi drops out when screen goes dark

    Hi there,
    I've got a MBPr 15inch with the latest OSX version (incl. updates).
    When my screen goes dark after 10 minutes of inactivity, my WIFI connection *always* drops out. So if I'm syncing something over Dropbox for instance, it will stop working. I basically have to make sure my laptop never goes inactive for too long. This is really annoying and one of a few other problems I'm having with this MBPr.
    I've searched these forums, and there are people with similar or related problems but I couldn't find any solution yet.
    Anyone else out there similar problems?
    Thanks,
    Kai

    Hi f, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    It sounds like it could be a bad inverter board, but I don't know if that would cause it to happen only while using the power adapter. Depending on your exact model, it could be:

  • Lightrroom CC and screen going crazy

    Hi Everyone. First time asking a question here.
    Had a new system built about a little over a month ago. Shortly after switching to the Adobe CC for Photoshop and Lightroom, having a very strange problem. It only is happening when I am applying keywords to my photos and is random. As I start to type in the keywords, the screens go all white and slowly the screens return to normal. I have checked the event viewer and the following is what is reported:
