TS1398 iOS 6.0 upgrade and Wifi and Bluetooth are gone!
all of a sudden today my iphone has stopped picking up Wifi and will not run Bluetooth. Having just upgraded to iOS 6.0 the Wifi switch is greyed out and bluetooth just experiences the rotating sunflower. Any ideas?
Just to add:- I have already reset network, restored etc and still no access to wifi or bluetooth. Ipad and Mac and wife's iphone working fine!

Wifi and bluetooth are not working properly
When the lappy is situated near any wifi device then only it catches the signals other wise shows no network found.Same as the bluetooth some times get paired up but mostly not and when connected no data can be transferred between devices. some times get connected but for a while only, after it disconnect several times. Iam too much upset .i have bought it only a moth ago and finds this error. all the drivers are installed and working properly. Is this model have this issue ? or i am the only one suffering from it.
>Is it possible to switch the power WiFi module as before?
You have replaced the WLan module and this means that the hardware configuration has been changed. This means that the different module has affected the software functionality.
The new WLan/BT combo card BCM94313HMGB seems to be designed by Broadcom.
From my knowledge most Toshiba notebooks supports the Intel / Realtek or Atheros modules. Therefore I think there could be an compatibility issue between the FN button software and this module.
Maybe you could try to install the Broadcom driver once again to check if it helps, otherwise you have to forego that. -
IOS 6.1.3: Loss of WiFi and Bluetooth
Since updating one of our team's iPhone 4s to iOS 6.1.3, WiFi and Bluetooth are no longer able to be enabled.
Same model phones are not having this issue.
Any suggestions? Resetting network connections and power cycling have not proven successful.
Thanks!
JimMSee if this helps

if it does not, it is a hardware failure.
Contact Genius bar for evaluation and possible replacement. -
I am in such a predicament - phone not been quite right since the 6.1 update and I was tolerating the inconvenience of switching off and on etc etc for the past couple of months and now the wifi and bluetooth are totally greyed out all the time - did every restore possible including back to factory settings - still no luck - please don't tell me that trying all the solutions over the past 2 months that temporarily worked for a few days at a time will now mean I have timed myself out of the 1 year warranty? arghhhhh (I can't believe that such an issue will create the response 'oh well, your problem - best just buy another one' ???)
I can't just drop everything and drive to the apple store and wait for hours every time there's a 'glitch' otherwise I may as well move nextdoor to the mall. They tell you to try and solve it yourself first - which I did - and now it's not responding to anything I try, will I be told - 'too late, out of warranty'???
I see theres an update for the iphone 5 that fixes wifi bugs - what about us 4s owners? even my 3 year old 3gs is still working on wifi (haven't dared to update it!) so don't start telling me to expect that the iphone will only last 13 months - NOT AT $600 a piece
This is madness and driving me crazy
Please has anyone had any luck fixing this problem???well, you know how it is - glitches that usually resolve with a hard reset etc
then a restore. then a factory restore....then ..... nothing fixes so I try the next step with apple online - fill out my serial number and find it is a couple of weeks out of date - and then with the holidays who has time to get to the apple store? this is my second 4s handset as it is - first one the glass cracked from L to R without any impact/damage etc - they changed it out automatically because it's a 'known fault' apparently - so technically, this handset is only 6 months old - but warranty is from original purchase date -
never imagined it would turn out to be a warranty issue with the phone - and hey maybe when I get a chance to go to the apple store they'll be sympathetic, but I won't be able to get there till at least Jan 4th as it is. On the other hand, another iOS update might resolve the issue - but how long till that release? at the moment I'm having to use my old 3gs for wifi and 4s for phone!!! -
IPhone original Wifi and Bluetooth deactivated?
Ok, so I bought a new 3G and my original iPhone was deactivated, but still worked in every other way besides 'phone', so I gave it to my girlfriend to use as just an iPod Touch right now (she's going to get it activated in about a week with AT&T), but for some reasons in the settings, WiFi and Bluetooth are disabled. Bluetooth isn't that big of a deal, but it'd be nice if she could use WiFi. I'm not sure if the SIM card would have to be activated for this feature to be available or not, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have to be. Does anyone know why it would be like this?
No. It's not.
I remember right after I completely reset it, it asked me if I wanted to join my WiFi, and I just said no (since I was giving the phone to her), but now that she has it, the option is completely disabled. -
I have updated my iphone 4s with the last version IOS 7.0.2.
At the beginning my screen freezing each time I enter numbers or letters (in iphone security code as well as texting in any app)
Now, my wifi and bluetooth are broken. I have tried to activate them 3 days and nothing. I am lost. I have no internet in my telephone plan, so, all my apps are not working anymore.
How can I go back to IOS 6?
My iphone will be working correctly again???
Thanks!
I very appreciatte any urgent answer .

WIFI and Bluetooth will not turn on, DROID MAXX
Both WIFI and Bluetooth cannot now be activated on my DROID MAXX. No problems at all until the recent update, so I can only assume that this issue results from the update. At either the WIFI screen or at the Bluetooth screen, the window is empty except the slider, and when the slider is moved from OFF to ON, it hangs there about five seconds then slips back to OFF. Rebooting does make one difference: the first time you open the WIFI screen several options in a menu do appear in the window below the slider as expected, but after the first attempt to slide it to ON and then it returns to OFF, the options disappear and the window is again empty (except for the impotent slider). Is there a fix?
after a hard reset, wifi works and bluetooth works. I’ll reply here if they stop working again.
thanks.

The box and button lines are not displayed or are mis-sized, if they appear at all; problem varies with the website and page style.
The threads I found in discussions mentioned a couple pages that are no longer active/cannot be opened -- so these solutions don't work.
When starting version 5x and 6beta I get information certain add-ons are STILL incompatible with these versions?
Are there any work-arounds or patches?I am having this problem too. Just like WinOnBatch the problem started for me around firefox 5.0.1.
I have not been able to get rid of this problem. I have tried creating a new profile, restarting firefox in safe mode. disabling extensions 1 by 1. When I built this computer I did a clean install of firefox 5.0.1, and 2 weeks later with no extensions the problems came back. At that point I had the Java and flash plugins only.
When firefox 6 was released I did another fresh install (uninstalled firefox, went through my hard disc and deleted any reference to firefox and mozilla. Did the same in the registry, then run a registry cleaner and restarted the computer) before I installed firefox 6 and the problem was happening in less than a week. The I said to hell with it and re-created my entire profile from scratch and installed all my old extensions (updated them off course). 2 weeks ago it got really sever and I couldn't see any buttons on the chome interface and all web pages I visited were displaying really messed up. The only way i can describe it is kinda like greentech70 screenshots but on every inch of the application window. Like a really bad screen tearing effect.
The only thing that seem to help is when I downgraded to firefox 3.6.18. That fixed it but like greentech70 I have security and privacy concerns, so upgraded to firefox 6 again as the issue went away for 1 day, then came back but not as severe. since then I have been downgrading to firefox 3.6.18 re-installing java and flash, then upgrading back to firefox 6. It keeps the problem minimised but im still plagued by it. I also wonder if its a problem with firefox's 6 graphical engine. -
my wifi and bluetooth setting are greyed out, cant turn on, i reset, restarted, and went to itunes, nothing works??
I did some hunting and have found that your Apple ID needs to be registered in the country where you first downloaded the app (whichever ones are giving you trouble)
I needed to change my region back to the uk and now my apps are downloading. Thank goodness!!
I think I read somewhere that apple had changed a setting or something(?) when updating their ts&cs.
I hope this helps people!!
I also had deleted my apps but re installed them when I connected to my computer. -
I thought this latest OS release had fixed my WiFi and Bluetooth problem, but I was excited for only a minute! I actually was able to connect to my WiFi at home and paired my Bluetooth to my car - but after a few minutes, the Bluetooth automatically turned off and the WiFi no longer worked. Is there a FIX to this??? I know it's the OS that disabled them and I'm not paying $500 for a new phone when my upgrade is not availbe for another six months!!!!
My iPhone 4S did once again did lose it's wifi connection after running perfectly for about 8 weeks.
I was streaming Pandora Radio via bluetooth connection at the time, ( not sure if that has anything to do with why the wifi dropped out again, but I thought I'd mention it anyway)
But!.... I was able to get everything up and running perfectly again by simply grabing my girlfriend's hair dyer heated it up again for about 5 - 7 minutes ( the over heated message even appeared this time) then powered it off, warped it in a plastic bag, stuck it back in the freezer for 15 minutes, took it out of the freezer, powered it back on, and Abracadabra it works perfectly again!!!
Phone has been running perfectly AGAIN for about a week now.
One strange thing this time after fixing it for a second time is that the the little WiFi symbol no longer shows at the top of the screen, but the wifi connection and everything IS RUNNING PERFECTLY!
If all I've got to do once in a while, is spend about 20 minutes with a hairdryer and a freezer to keep my iPhone 4S running perfectly.....well I'm as happy as a pig in s*** :-)
And please no comments about how I have now voided my apple support etc. I never had any to begin with (it's a 2nd hand phone and I really couldn't care less about warranty issues etc etc etc..... The phone works, and that's all that matters to me! -
suddenly my ethernet and firewall are no longer connected. router is good...and can connect only using wifi...suggestions?
SOLUTION!
I've been suffering from this problem for a few months. I tried everything suggested by everyone, and then, today, I had a mad idea.
I used to work in a room in the house that's about 12 metres away from the router. It's on the next storey up and horizontally about 8 metres away. The problem started when I began to work in the same room as the router.
Today I became so frustrated that for some reason I walked into a room about 8 metres away on the same level - Guess what? I connected with no problem at all. Feeling full of joy I walked back to the room where the router is located - Dropped internet connection within a few minutes! Walked back to the the room that's 8 metres away and, hey presto! I have a connection. I now realise that the problem was that I moved too close to the router.
I can think of no logical explanation for my experience, but empirically it seems to work. Does anyone have the faintest idea of why this should be the case? In the absence of an answer I think I may have to start believing in fairies at the bottom of the garden - I'm just off to set a meal for them.
By the way, I don't know if it has any significance, but the router is a BT Infinity router that has replaced the incredibly unreliable Virgin Media cable connection -
I don't have celluar data on my Ipad. what app do I use? In the place on the Apple support screen there are, Airplane mode, Wifi and bluetooth.
Thank you in advance for your help because I don't want to take this back but if I can't figure out how to use it, I will have to.Henry ~ Welcome to the Support Communities.

Yoga 13 WiFi and bluetooth issue resolved
Unfortunately, I also met WiFi problems, but also found unexpected and sad solution.
Wifi worked pretty well at working place, but had problems at home. As an experiment I brought WiFi router from the working place home. It did not work!
At home I used pretty old keyboard and mouse plugged into passive USB hub. As soon as they were disconnected, problems disappeared. WiFi was also stable after I plugged power supply into the USB hub.
We are making 24-bit analog-to-digital converter that connects to the PC via USB. I exactly know its current consumption (300 to 330 mA) and know that it correctly handles USB rules about power regulations. Maximum current, specified by USB2.0 standard, is 500mA, so consumption of our ADC is within limits. As soon as I plug this ADC in, WiFi connection immediately disappears at the working place.
In the case of other devices, such as USB flash drive, power consumption may depend on the activity, increasing as it writes or reads something, and decreasing at the moment of inactivity.
I'm pretty sure that Lenovo placed their WiFi/bluetooth module on the same USB hub with right-side USB2 connector. Any device, that requires energy, being plugged into USB2.0 port, immediately destroys WiFi (and presumably bluetooth) and it is rather hard to get it back alive without special dancing around.
So, conclusion: never plug anything into USB2.0 port, if you need WiFi. This decreases number of available USB ports from two to one. Lenovo team should be blamed for that, not driver manufacturers or board manufacturers - Lenovo did non do its construction job well.
I am not sure, that all WiFi and bluetooth problems of Yoga discussed at this forum have the same reason. But in any case incorrect implementation of USB2.0 power should be considered before any other reason of malfunction.
Car manufacturers recall their products in the case of a failure. What about computer manufacturers?Citation from Wikipedia:
The USB 1.x and 2.0 specifications provide a 5 V supply on a single wire to power connected USB devices. The specification provides for no more than 5.25 V and no less than 4.75 V (5 V ± 5%) between the positive and negative bus power lines. For USB 3.0, the voltage supplied by low-powered hub ports is 4.45–5.25 V.[61]
A unit load is defined as 100 mA in USB 2.0, and 150 mA in USB 3.0. A device may draw a maximum of 5 unit loads (500 mA) from a port in USB 2.0; 6 (900 mA) in USB 3.0. There are two types of devices: low-power and high-power. A low-power device draws at most 1 unit load, with minimum operating voltage of 4.4 V in USB 2.0, and 4 V in USB 3.0. A high-power device draws, at most, the maximum number of unit loads the standard permits. Every device functions initially as low-power — but may request high-power, and get it if available on the providing bus.[62]
Obviously, WiFi adapter is a high-power device. If it does not have sufficient power, it will start power saving program by reducing speed. Even lower power may interrupt ins basic functions. When I connect another high-power device (HDD or ADC) to the same hub, it should get its 500mA from the hub. Seems that starting at this moment WiFi receives much less current than it requires and stops working.
If something is plugged into USB3 port, and this something does not utilize all energy it requested, WiFi starts working again.
I would greatly appreciate if somebody repeats my tests using Yoga or Yoga 2 Pro.
Test:
Reboot your system, all USB devices disconnected
Open http://www.speedtest.net site and measure Download connection speed (Speed1)
Connect external HDD to USB2 (NOT USB3!) port
Wait until HDD is connected
Test Download speed once again (Speed2)
Report results to this blog as Speed1/Speed2 couple of numbers
Thank you in advance
