My IPhone 4S wifi won't turn on. Wifi button is gray. I have tried restart and very briefly the wifi will work. Any ideas??

My IPhone 4S wifi won't turn on. Wifi button is gray. I have tried restart and very briefly the wifi will work. Any ideas??

My 4s also grayed out the wifi setting a couple of weeks ago. I called technical support and the guy _insisted_that there is no known problem with phones with respect to IOS 6. He told me to reset the phone and restore and that would probably solve all my problems. Really, there is nothing wrong with the phone, he told me. I had tried just about everything else I had found on-line. The complete erase and restore did not work.
Then I went to the Genius Bar and they tried a few things (more resets) and they concluded wifi is not functioning but since it is out of warranty, they want $199 to replace it. $199 is not the cost of a new phone so obviously there is some concession here but not a complete acceptance of responsiblity. The Genius Bar told me that - in fact - that there is a known firmware problem with the phones and IOS6 that crops up randomly. Not with a lot of phones, just the unlucky few. If it is out of warranty, you have to pay. Fortunately, I had an extended warranty with my credit card so I can get reimbursed.
My next purchase is going to be an android tablet. I'm going to wean myself away from the Apple orchard. I want to expand my options for my next phone purchase.

My wifi won't turn on I've tryed everything does anyone know how to fix it?

TS1398 My WiFi won't turn on...on my iphone4s. What should I do?

My WiFi won't turn on....on my Iphone4s. What should I do?

Common problem with iPhone 4s. You upgrade to IOS7 recently? It killed my WiFi and bluetooth... not happy on this end.
Apple thinks this was acceptable to have older devices be affected by the fall out...
I was able to get it back for a day by toggling airplane on and off, resetting network settings several times. You MUST let the phone first remain off for a bit before trying this, seems its a heating issue as well.. but dont let them fool you into thinking its software. It is NOT.

My iPhone 5 won't turn on, the screen just stays black!

My iPhone 5 won't turn on I have held the power button to see if it's dead or not and it doesn't seem to change the screen it just black I thought the battery could of died or something similar it only happened about 2 hours ago please help!

Hey Thermali,
Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. To completely isolate the issue, you may want to follow these steps:
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 LCIs and corrosion.
- Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
- After at least 15 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.

See Here for > Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
Try this First... No Data will be Lost...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

My Iphone 5 won't TURN on or OFF it won't do anything it's just showing the Apple logo the WHOLE time Please help

MY IPhone 5 won't turn on or do ANYTHINGS please help

Plug into computer then hold the lock and home buttons until it syncs

My iphone 5 won't turn on but when plugged into power source it keeps showing apple logo?

My iPhone 5 won't turn on at all and then when I plug it into a power source either into a plug socket or into my laptop with the USB cable it keeps showing start up screen with apple logo over and over again on a loop.
I have tried holding the top and front button together, this didn't work. I have also tried connecting to my laptop and following the reboot steps that I found on another discussion forum. Neither worked for me. The phone just won't reboot and it keeps continuing to loop the apple logo screen over and over without me touching anything.
The iPhone won't even connect to itunes and so itunes seems to not recognise my phone because its not even turning on (just continually apple logo screen appears for 5 seconds, goes to black screen and then repeats).
I don't know what is happening to it! Can anyone help? Is it a fault with the hardware or have I dont something to it? The next appointment at the genius bar for me is monday so I'm going to keep looking for any more recent ones until then but I really need to get it sorted before then so if anyone can help that would be great!
Thanks

Try a reset when your iPhone is plugged into the charger as you say it does not respond when not plugged in...
Press and hold the Home and On/Off buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple logo, then release. This may take up to 10 seconds. This is the equivalent of a re-boot and you will not lose any data.
See if it will charge after this.

Help! iPhone 4 won't turn on!

My iPhone 4 won't turn on, all I did was hold down the home and sleep/wake button and let go of sleep/wake button but still hold home button and then tried turning it back on and it wouldn't turn on! Help! Need my phone back!

You need to hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release them both.

Hello... can anyone help, my late 2010 MBA's - OS X Lion 10.7.5 wifi won't turn on after a deep sleep

can anyone help, my late 2010 MBA's - OS X Lion 10.7.5 wifi won't turn on after a deep sleep.. thanks..!

Hi John,
Thanks for the additional information. What I would try next is resetting System Management Controller:
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
You can find the full article here:

If this still doesn't help, it would be time to take it in to be looked at. You can setup an appointment at a Genius Bar by clicking on the following link:
