Aug 9, 2015 9:32 AM in response to RevKev55by elcpu,Rev, try a hard reboot to see if it helps. Hold down the Home and Wake/Sleep buttons at the same time for about 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears. You will not loose anything.

Aug 9, 2015 11:04 AM in response to elcpuby RevKev55,elcpu, thank you for your suggestion. I did try that with no success.
I am trying a factory reset now.
Thanks again for engaging.

4s notorious for this

Aug 9, 2015 11:15 AM in response to RevKev55by sperkz,See this article:
If Wi-Fi is grayed out or dim on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Looks like you've done the right things, so far.
I know usually when they say "contact Apple for support" it usually means it's a hardware thing.
Hope this helps, RevKev55!

Aug 15, 2015 9:14 AM in response to RevKev55by danyboy2012,Hi. WiFi on my iPhone 4s also got greyed out after updating to iOS 8.4. (I updated it yesterday to iOS 8.4.1 but nothing changed). The thing is, I went to certificated Apple service and they've replaced WiFI chip. Everything was working fine for about a week or so and then WiFi got dimmed again. So I send it back and they've replaced it again, since I got service warranty, but the problem came back. I know there is a big chance that motherboard is faulty but the thing is everything works fine except WiFi. Off course battery is draining fast after the update but phone is working fine. BEfore update battery could last 2 days, now 8 hours barely.
So my question is, did someone on this forum tried to replace battery and this way fixed broken WIFI. I read somewhere on some blog bellow at comments, way back when iOS 8 was released, that this actually worked and by replacing the old with new battery WiFi was alive again. Please share some info regarding the battery.

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or return to where you had it service previously. They will evaluate it. They will be able to tell you if changing the battery will help.

Oct 4, 2015 5:30 PM in response to RevKev55by oralunal,Hey I have the same problem. When I freeze my phone about 20 minutes, I can use my wifi about a couple of hourse then it goes away again. I think it's something about hardware.
