The iOS 7.1 update doesn't fix the Wifi issue on iPhone 4S!

My wifi greyed out since iOS 7, the hair dryer did fix the problem for a day. But it greyed out again after a day, and now the 7.1 update doesn't fix that ****???

Have you followed the steps listed in iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim - Support - Apple?
If not, do so immediately.  Also, try: iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device.
The software update is not the cause of the problem.  It is possible, however, that your hardware (i.e., the wi-fi chip) had a hidden problem, probably with heat tolerance, and the heat generated from the iOS update (the processor creates more heat the harder it works) pushed it past its tolerance.

  • Yosemite 10.10.1 update did not fix my wifi issue, did it fix yours??

    The discussion about wifi issues is nothing new since Yosemite came out.  Today I installed the latest update (10.10.1) which was to help with wifi issues such as your wifi dropping.  I have tried every remedy that has been posted and nothing has worked.  I constantly have to re-connect to my wifi network while on my computer.  I guess I will sit patiently until this is resolved.  I was excited to see the new update but after downloading and installing it, I see that nothing has changed.  I have an iMac (2013) and have never had internet issues until I installed Yosemite.  I hope the update helps you but it didn't help me.

    Hi everyone,
    I am trying to create a secure network on my MB air with OS X Yosemite?
    Any ideas?
    In the pervious OS version when you create a network on from the WIFI icon on the top of the desktop, there are
    1) network name
    2) channel
    3) type of password
    4) key in password.
    Now with OS X yosemite, there is only
    1) network name
    2) channel
    When the network is created there is not IP.
    I am trying to use "airserver" a third party app to help project my iPad air to my MB air.
    I am trying to do this when I am conducting the class and I would like to record my lesson.
    Please advise.
    My way of getting around this is to use Airport Express and create my own network that link MB air and iPad air.
    But i do not want to look like a gadget guys and bring so many hardware to class... haha...
    Hope someone have an alternative.
    Cheers,
    Andy

  • After updating to ios 5, my calendar sometimes freezes when entering a new event. I have tried syncing but it doesn't fix the problem. Are there any bug fixes for this? Any ideas would be great thanks, I don't really want to have to reset everything!

    Try to reset the iPod by  pressing the home and sleep button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data doing a reset, but it can clear some glitches after installing new software or apps.

  • Photoshop CS5 update doesn't fix artifact problem in the menu bar !

    Hi to all,
    I've installed the new update (december 7) recommended by Adobe, but that doesn't fix the Artifact problems in the menu bar !!!
    More, with my Windows 7 Pro (French language), Photoshop CS5 video pilot create artifacts in the menu bar in several situations.
    With Windows classic Theme chosen, theme management disabled:
    1. Opening a photo and applying a filter (especially Noise Reduction).
    2. Opening a photo and changing some preferences.
    3. Opening a photo with Windows 7 File Explorer working cause the pilot to crash with a black screen, ans followed by a message saying that Win 7 has recovered the video pilot.
    To suppress most of the problems, I need to Activate "Themes" and choose an Aero theme or the Basic Theme.
    I also need to activate some items that slow the PC !
    Very strange !
    Could someone help, me please ?
    Have a Nice Day.
    Thierry

    Yes, I've an Asus ENGT220/G/DI/1GD3, tried Windows default pilot, 2009 Asus pilot "nv19045_Win7Vista64.zip", and 2010 latest version "nv25919_Win7Vista64.zip", no change !
    More, I've exchanged the video car by a "monster" ENGTX465 with it's driver, NO CHANGE !
    So what to do ?!
    Help, please !

  • I tried updating my iphone 4s to the ios 7 but it said error with the firmware now my phone is stuck in recovery mode and i have no idea how to fix it any suggestions??

    i tried updating my iphone 4s to the ios 7 but it said error with the firmware now my phone is stuck in recovery mode and i have no idea how to fix it any suggestions??

    Try Restoring it 3 times in a row and see if that works.
    If not that error can indicate one of two things: Your iPhone was at one time jailbroken, had the iOS version rolled back, or ran an unauthorized beta and if none of those things are true it is a hardware error.

  • I have the iPhone 4S. Since I updated to the iOS 6 my phone keeps freezing and the apps crash all the time. Sometimes it freezes up to a minute. And there's no way of fixing that. Is apple going to fix this? I'm not the only one having this problem.

    You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.
    Unless you've iPhone 4S (looks similar to iPhone 4)

  • HT5457 how do I install the IOS 6 software update to my Ipad 3G?

    How do I install The IOS 6 Software update on my IPad 3G? Itunes is saying it is up to date but it is not. It says it 5.1.1.

    Double tap the home button and bring up the multi-task bar. Hold down on one the apps until they all start to wiggle and display a minus sign. Tap the minus sign and close all of the apps. Tap the home button and close the multi-task bar. Reset the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home button together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, see if you see the same behavior. If you do, the next step to restore from a backup. If that doesn't help, then restore as a new device. Use this support document to understand the restore process. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you have to go all the way through restore as a new device and it does not work, then it could be a hardware issue. I've not seen any other posts about screen issues after updates, so one of these should fix it unless there is a problem with the screen.

  • My ipod touch won't do the iOS 4.3 update....when I plug it in, it does nothing. Help!!!

    On the iTunes website, it says that to update your ipod to the iOS 4.3 update, you only have to plug it into the computer but, when I do, nothing happens. What is wrong?

    You may have set your computer/iPod so that iTunes doesn't automatically open when its plugged in. Plug it into your computer, open iTunes, select the iPod and click the "Check for Updates" button.

  • Why is my iPad so slow or freezing since the iOS 8.02 update?

    Why is my iPad so slow or freezing since the iOS 8.02 update?

    Do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the ipad to boot back up.
    If that doesn't help - settings - general - reset - reset network settings - no data loss, however you will need to reenter known wifi passwords.

    Have you tried a soft-reset : Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should reappear and it will hopefully reboot.
    If that doesn't work : If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

    This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

    Hi,
    This is how App Store app shows now when an app is downloading. If you cannot download anything, go to Settings > iTunes & App Store, remove your Apple ID, and set it again. That should work.
    Hope that helps.
