As of today Iphone 4S wifi wont turn on, stays gray. IOS 6.1.3
As of today Iphone 4S wifi wont turn on, stays gray. IOS 6.1.3
Most likely it's a hardware failure if it's both WiFi and BlueTooth. There are some strange suggestions to try; if these don't work take it to an Apple store for exchange. If it's out of warranty it will cost $199.
Turn off Cellular Data, reboot the phone. try to turn on WiFi.
Put it in a ziplock bag with the air squeezed out, then in a freezer for 15 minutes (yes, this is not a joke).
The opposite: Heat it with a hair dryer for a couple of minutes.
All of these have worked for someone, but not for most. -
wifi wont turn on on iphone
took it to my carrier and the tech guy said that he has seen a couple of cases already after the 6.1, 6.1.1, and 6.1.2 updates. There is no fix on the software side since Apple does not acknowledge the issue at all (they make you think you are the moron and not them). The carrier's only recommendation to solve the issue is to buy a new phone! w.t.f....thanks Apple. Now I have to buy a new phone to get the WiFi function back???? just called Apple and since I am over the warranty period by 39 days I am s.o.l. On the bright side, the 6.1.2 did solve my battery drain problem.

my wifi wont turn on, have done everything to try fix this and still wont turn on. any suggestions ?
Try the suggestions here to see if they resolve your problem:

If those solutions don't work your iPhone 4s has developed a hardware problem. The permanent solution is to get it replaced.
You can search the internet for heating and freezing solutions that might work (at least for a while).
For example, see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj10bz5bI6A
Root cause: On some iPhone 4s devices there may be a flow soldering problem with the WiFi chip. After long periods of WiFi activity such as installing an iOS update (for example, iOS 7 or iOS 8) there may be a connection failure. A work-around to this is the procedure in the youTube video.
A true hardware fix may be found here:

My wifi wont turn on and has no wifi hardware installed displayed. futhermore when i go to turn it on it doesnt let me? ive been reading about mutiple problems with lion which i seem to be having ever since i installed it, but no solutions yet seem to have solved my issue, please help.
Sometimes you can get lucky here with an SMC reset or a PRAM Zap.
Let's try those and see...
This is on your MBP btw? -

Until you get the temperature warning then power your device down and leave it somewhere cool to cool down for at least 15 minutes then power up your device again and it should connect up to a network. -

its not gray or anything it just wont turn on.
Hi nicolegrave,
Take a look at this article, just want to provide this to you for any wifi troubleshooting, and you can see the steps for yourself. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
What I would recommend is to try turning your phone on and off. Then try reset (holding the home button and the power button at the same time for about 10 seconds or until the device reboots) Can you use the control center (swiping up from the very bottom of your phone screen) to tap wifi emblem to turn wifi on and off?
If this fails, you may be looking at trying reset network settings located in settings<general<reset. Choose reset network settings.
If this fails, I would recommend a restore through iTunes on your computer, and be sure to set up as new, not restore from a back up, at first to test the wifi issue. If it fixes it, then I would try and restore from your latest back up in iTunes or iCloud. -
my iphone just went all hot turned off and now wont turn back on, any ideas??
Let it cool and then reset it... press the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

My Iphone 4s wifi wont turn on.
When I check Settings> General> About the wifi was under N/A, I've tried to reset my newtwork settings and that hasn't worked. Also the bluetooth will not load.
Most likely your WiFi chip is faulty and there is no fix. Restore your iPhone with iTunes on computer. See if the Restore fixes it. If not, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution.
