Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim

why?

I have the same issue with wifi greyed out. Just got off line with Apple and she said it was a software issue and the tech could fix it over the phone if i bought a new maintence contract. Once i sasid no I no longer got any support and she would not stop trying to sell me the contact. I hung up because she would not shut up about selling me the new maintence contact.If its a software issue why doesn't the factory reset work? Also the phone is out of warrenty by 1 week.

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.

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, please see these steps.

TS1559 iOS: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

I have done everything from "Reset Network Settings" to "Erase All Content and Settings" and finally restoring the iOS Software (7.0.6), but the Wi-Fi settings are still grayed out. Bluetooth is also not getting enabled. Can anyone suggest what can be done?

If you did the troubleshooting for greyed out Wi-Fi with no result, this might be hardware related and the phone has to be checked by an Authorized Apple Service Provider or by Apple. You can find the contact info for your country by clicking on this link:

HT1414 i reseted my iphone to factory setting and Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim

So my Iphone Wi-if is grayed out, leaving me no option to turn on my wifi.
I tried resetting and restoring my iphone already..
Please help i do not want to constantly use my data. thanks !

I have the same problem with my iPhone 4S. I called the lab and they told me this can only happen by getting the iPhone wet or hot, my iPhone never got wet so the only option left was that it got hot so I read somewhere online that you can stick it in a refrigerator for some minutes and then the Wi-Fi will get back but I didn't know for how many minutes so put it in the freezer for 20 minutes and then the Wi-Fi came back but only for 30 minutes because it got hot again. The lab also told me that this was a hardware problem with the inner panel of the iPhone. And they can only fix it if it's still responding but if it's not responding they can't fix it, only Apple can, because they don't sell the panel to other stores. The catch was that if they open the iPhone and find out they can't fix it not only that it cost me money also I lose the warranty and Apple won't take back the phone and replace it or fix it, or if they do it will cost me more money.
So if anyone could tell me if they know how many minutes to put it in the freezer or if they know about another solution that could be a lot of help because I don't live in a country where there are any Apple stores.
Thanks, and good luck;)

Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

hello. I need help. wi-fi toggle in my iPhone 4S on iOS 6.0.1 is inactive. it happened suddenly. could you tell me, what should I do? how can it be fixed? thanks!

I just posted the same issue for my one yr old 4S! Restart ur mobile. Go to General -> Reset -> Reset Network settings.
After resetting you shud be able to see the WIFI back. But I heard its not a permanent solution. I tried and it worked for my 4S but again it gets of WIFI automatically. Check & let me know if u get some other solution.
Cheers

TS1559 Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim.

why this problem occurs???

try backup and restore the device as new and test issue.
IF greyed out still you have hardware issue.

TS1559 Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim/I followed all instructions to solve it, did not work. this w-side suggest that I take my phone 2 Apple store. I did, they told me I need to replace my phone cause there was a hard ware problem/others w/same issue.

I believe Apple is making money by forsing their customer to replace the phone when so many people are stating to encounter this same problem.
If you are not covered by the warranty, they tell you that you have to replace the phone.... they put up a show showing you that they are trying to solve the problem by reseting your phone, then they tell you that you have to replace your phone due to a hard ware issue, when I asked them what part of the hard ware, they game the round around, then I insist, what part of the hard ware, they told me "some thing on the mader board" !
The sad part is that there were a few people with the same problem, some of them had had their phone replaced a few time as they still were under the period of warranty... when I mentioned to the Appple Tech. that was helping me, why those people having the same problem, and their phone being replaced a few time, would it that be a red flag, that the problem is the phone, but he told me, not. those people are having that problem, because they doing some thing wrong when they down load their back up via Icloud!.. he even mentioned that icloud make wi-fi grayed!... so, whay Apple have icloud for us to use it, when it creates issues on the phone...
SOLUTION = Replace your phone $$$,
To replace our phone due to that, to me simple issue, which is only an option for some of us to use.

What exactly is the technical support question in that jumbled statement that your fellow users in these user to user technical support forums can assist you with?
Keep in mind, these forums are not for ranting.

TS1559 I tried the official resolution for: "Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim" but it didn't work. What do i do now?

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.
So i did that but still nothing.
I also tried turning the phone on and off

Most people would read the ENTIRE article and follow all the instructions.
Specifically:
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, please see these steps.
