Wifi toggle & Bluetooth toggle app

Hi,
I love my iPhone but after coming from windows powered phones etc I really miss the option to easily toggle the wifi and Bluetooth on and off.
I use Bluetooth for my car kit but really hate having so many menus to navigate trough to turn bluetooth on, as I always keep it off to preserve battery life.
Same with wifi I use it a lot but at times of the day it's not needed and would love a simple app on my home screen just to toggle them on and off quickly.
When will one be available???
Regards
Scott

Hi, Scott:
I'm wishing there was an app like you described, too. After having many excessive battery drain problems, I'd like to be able to simply toggle Bluetooth "On" or "Off" from a Home screen. Wi-Fi would be good too. In searching today for such an app, one doesn't exist except for jailbroken phones, and I don't want to deal with the incessant tweaks required for that.
You know that you and I aren't the only ones who have thought of this. I see Web posts going back at least two years about it. Coupled with the many user problems I see posted about battery drains on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, I'd say the reason Apple hasn't released an app for this boils down to money. Apple would makes more money by draining batteries and charging to replace them than by doing a sensible toggle app.
As a company, Apple seems to forget that we're paying them for a top-of-the-line product, rather than them trying to make us feel like they're doing us a favor accepting our money.

I had this problem last month. I ended up having to get a new iPhone 4S. It's a very, very common problem and in my opinion it should be covered by Apple for free since it is so popular and is an obvious hardware defect especially in the iPhone 4S.
So I suggest you order a new iPhone ($230 with no warranty) ($50 with Apple Care+). And while you wait for your new iPhone to come you could back up your iPhone and try some of the YouTube fixs. I put mine in a plastic bag (off with no air in the bag) in the freezer for 30 minutes, pulled it out, turned it back on, let the iPhone thaw out in the bag, and it then worked again for over a week before it died again. But I would only try that if you knew you had a new iPhone on the way. My cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth all went out so I had nothing to lose.

Wifi toggle not working system76 gazelle pro

Hi all,
The wifi toggle doesn't work when I try to do fn-f11.Has anyone had any luck making it work? It works when I am on an Ubuntu partition and after I installed the system76 drivers.
I tried to install the system76 drivers from the AUR, but I get the following error messages that I don't understand. Please assist me.
(process:801): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.

I tried to push fn-f11 while acpi_listen is running. It does not pick up a wi-fi toggle.
I also tried implementing the scripts for Enabling Wi-fi toggle under the tips and tricks section, but I didn't have any luck.
Any ideas?
Im shocked considering its a System76 computer. My Lenovo T530's buttons work out of the box with the kernel.
I would contact System76 by email, then try by phone if possible. They should take care of you, and if they give you any info, post it here so we can try to help.
I notice the python script spits out that /etc/default/grub does not exist- perhaps they very poorly coded the driver to require one to have grub installed? You might try installing grub with pacman to see if that allows the python script to run without error. At the same time, they might be looking for that file to append options to grub's bootline- THIS is exactly where you need to get info from System76...
*DISCLAIMER* I know very little about python and it indeed might be a totally different problem. I however clearly see error and /etc/default/grub, and note that my Arch install has an /etc/default/grub, which suggests to me you are likely dual booting with Ubuntu and using Ubuntu's bootloader to handle booting.

Sounds like this problem:

One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

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.

Quick way to deactivate WiFi and Bluetooth?

HI everyone,
I'm looking for a way (app, script, automator workflow, anything else!) to quickly deactivate both wifi and bluetooth connections, in order to save battery energy when I'm traveling, for example...
Something I could just launch with a click...
Any idea?
Thanks in advance!
M.

Take a look at Locations 3 at the App store. It is the only (supported) program I know of that can change BlueTook & Airport based on network settings. One obvious free method to solve the problem is to open System Preferences and select BlueTooth and then toggle on the menu item. Select Network, choose your WiFi network and then toggle on the menu item. Now both menu items are showing and 2 mouseclicks toggle them on and off.

IOS 8.1.2 breaks Wifi and Bluetooth on iPhone 4s

Since I upgraded my iPhone 4s to IOS 8.1.2, i am unable to use wifi or bluetooth.
My wifi button is greyed out and I cannot turn it on.
Bluetooth will just display a spinning wheel when i turn it on.
I have tried resetting network settings twice, multiple re-boots/re-sets. Toggling Airplane mode. Turning off iCloud. All to no avail.
Just to be clear, this is not an intermittent issue or a slowdown or anything like that.
IOS 8.1.2 has completely disabled wifi and bluetooth.
Anyone else having these problems or got a resolution?

Yes, but first time in the several years to have a problem. Using Outlook on Mac with MS Exchange Server. I have Exchange set up on both iPhone and iPad. Talked to IT and they are making sure MS Exchange Server is fully updated tonight.

TS1559 Wifi and bluetooth is not working on iOS 7.0.2

Its disappointing to see crazy bugs even after a .0.2 release. All the work rounds fail

I Am IT support for a large Company also using iPhone 4s. I can confirm this issue as employee's start upgrading to iOS7.0.2 Bluetooth and wifi working fine on iOS 6.x as soon as upgrade to 7.0.2 Wifi Toggle greyed out, No wifi MAC address, bluetooth not working.
Have tried all suggestions on various forums to no avail .
Even a DFU recovery and set up as a new iPhone failes to fix the issue.
Have advised users if they have this issue to return the phones to Apple.
Also discussing with Other IT collegues in company to send out a bulletine asking employees NOT to upgrade to iOS 7 at this stage.
Whilst my company iPhone upgraded fine, it would appear not all do. I suspect different versions of the WIFI and Bluetooth hardware would be the cause of this issue. This would explaine why some upgrade ok and others do not.

IOS 7 on iPhone 4S WiFi and Bluetooth greyed out. Help!

I upgraded to iOS 7 last night. WiFi and bluetooth were working fine. When I woke up today, the WiFi toggle in settings was greyed out and the bluetooth toggle was missing and kept showing the "waiting wheel". Help!!!!!

All done now - the issue is with the WiFi chip - and when you update IOS it checks all components out to see if they are working correctly, then shuts them down if they are not.
It is a hardware failure, and is pretty common with iphone 4S.... If your phone is over 12 months (and you didn't take out extended warranty) you have the pleasure of paying Apple £139 for a 'remanufactured' phone with 3 months warranty.
Nothing like my expectation for a premium product (with a premium price tag) - its a component durability issue, nothing to do with the user, an Apple component fault. However forget it if you think it is Apple's problem, if it is out of warranty, they aren't interested.My love affair with Apple products is over, google products here I come...
Rant over....

No Wifi or bluetooth connection since kitkat update

Since the kit kat update my Razr M will not connect to Wifi or Bluetooth (not so worried about bluetooth I rarely use it) after reading suggestions from Verizon reps on the forums for similar questions I preformed multiple soft resets with no luck, finally I did a factory reset this did not work either any better suggestions. From some of the other post I've seen getting a new phone didn't help either as once the update ran on the new phone it had the same issues.

There is no damage, the toggle to turn on WiFi will not toggle to the on position and if you open the Wifi screen where you would normally see connections there is nothing there at the bottom you have the double arrow symbol the plus sign and 3 dots that I believe would be considered a sub menu the 3 dots are the only thing that will bring up anything when you touch it where the others I remember having something come up before the problems when you touch the dots it brings up a blacked out box you can read scan, WPS Pin entry Wi-fi Direct, Advanced and Manage Networks however the only option that is white and can touch is Advanced. when on that screen Network notification and Wi-Fi notifications are blacked out. I have tried changing the WiFi frequency band as i had seen that as an option to try previously in another thread however when i change it to the 5GHz only it immediately reverts back to auto.

IPad wifi and Bluetooth greyed out after iOS5 update

After updating to iOS5 on my iPad my WiFi and Bluetooth were greyed out like the update has caused a hardware failure on the radio side. My SIM and 3G still work (not that I use it) but I can not even choose wifi or bluetooth in settings app as they are greyed out.
In Wifi it says "No Wi-Fi" and Bluetooth it says "Unavailable"
I wasn't using it a lot so just forgot about it for a while as it sat gathering dust being an expensive paperweight thinking that the next software (5.0.1) update would sort it all out. It doesn't. I have a 64GB iPad 3G with no wifi and as I am living abroad the 3G is useless to me (though only use the ipad at home on my wirless network anyway, or not as the case is now!!)
I have restored, factory restored, cleaned installed new software, everything I can think of but still there is no wifi and no bluetooth.
Has anyone else had this issue? My (very expensive) iPad is now next to useless!!
ANY help is VERY much appreciated.

thank you for fast response and sharing the link but i've tried everything including downgrade but it seems that theres a serious problem with MC497LL model and trying to reach to the support for any updates about it at least trying to inform them

HT4623 I updated my iphone with IOS 7 and my wifi and bluetooth is not working. How can I go back to IOS 6?

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 .
Paula

Downgrading the iOS is not supported at all.

Why did my max loose wifi and bluetooth?

Not sure if it was after last update or when. But my phone lost wifi and bluetooth. I didnt even realize until I got a data alert. I have tried a full reset witch made me very unhappy due to the apps I lost.

Usually if you just turn the device on and off may have fixed your issues.
A hard reset in my opinion is not necessary. If phone makers send out junk updates that actually make the devices work worse, they never should release these junk updates.
Is your WiFi and Bluetooth functioning now? Your apps are not lost since in Google play store select MY APPS then from the list simply reload them back on the device. Both free and paid ones.
Good Luck
