iOS 6 WiFi option is GREYED OUT (unrelated to iOS 6 WiFi connectivity issues)

I am having the same issue - i have tried resetting the network, turning on and off the mail, contacts and calendar options, but nothing enables the Wi-Fi to become active. The strange thing is that it worked for awhile after I upgraded to iOS 6, but this week it is not working. I too am disappointed in Apple for not having this issue fixed with obviously so many people affected!

again in case people really cant read or can t beleive or whatever

1 charge phone

2 TRICK WORKS ONLY ON iphone 4/4s (only) with wifi greyed out and freezer trick working on it(try freezer thing only once pls) and you have to have a valid wifi address(settings/general/info)havent tried on no wifi and no mac/wifi address please report if it worked on it.

3 YOU NEED TO START CAMERA SO THAT YOU ENABLE FLASHLIGHT DURING ALL RECORDING TIME(with this you will heat your upper part of the iphone for at least 20 / 30 minutes)

4 reboot phone

5 YOUR WIFI LOST WITH 6.0 OR 6.0.1 UPDATE IS GOING TO BE COMPLETELY FIXED.

APPLE S*CK=S

ENJOY fixing your phone all credit goes to H1nt forum page 14

1. do the freezer trick

2. use the flashlight for 20min

3. start / restart as often as you want

4. take your iphone and jump two times arround your house

5. at 12pm lay it in direction to cupertino and say "holy iphone please..."

or simply replace it at the apple hotline

Amazingly the trick of running the phone down with video camera and flash has sorted my 4s!!! I now have wifi 🙂

Not sure how long it will last for though 😟

Got a Genius Bar appointment for Saturday - think I'll still make the 60mile round trip.

paul.mbp thinks all countries do have apple ,well sorry dude people with no applestore have to sort it out

excess of intelligence=stupidity

@aidjoe: you do not have to go to the store, my iPhone was replaced after a call to the hotline.. exchange has been done by UPS parcel...

So calling the hotline should help :-)

anyway: isnt the warranty worldwide ? I think so ...

Weird Weird Weird

The H1nt run down battery through movie with flash on worked. The wifi switch now works and I can get a wifi link. all of which is great, although it drops off the link frequently and just cant seem to hold it for more than a minute or two at a time.

All very odd.

Upside is at least id does enable me to use my phone while overseas

Will definitely be taking it back to Apple when back in London

spm555 u only need to do it for longer !!! then see if signal drops

hotline/iphones via ups not available in algeria. ups is good for cheaper parcels or documents only

if apple sends u and iphone anyway...u ll get a cheap nokia 3310 instead, the magic of algeria

current recording with flash on... *fingers crossed*

Lo probé, primero freezer y luego filmacion con flash durante 30 minutes. Funcionó WIFI!!! pero solo 2 horas!, luego volvió a deshabilitarse el boton de wifi

I'm not really sure how you guys did it, my wifi is still not working

1. charged iPhone

2. started recording while flash is on (yes it heats up after 15 minutes and my iphone disables the flash as it says the handset should cool down first)

3. did a reboot, and I still can't toggle my wifi back on, did I miss something?

yes, freezer technique worked on ,my 4s before and I'm not doing that anymore xs

jnkadoodles ! put it more on flashlight !!! finfers crossed there is actually no possible other sollution and **** u ll see it ll WORK

I have bug with 4S and Wifi greyed out.

Problem was solved by complete discharging iPhone by video recording with flashlight on (thermal protection turned flashlight off after about 40 minutes); few calls and the phone turned off.

After charging and switching on, Wifi worked.

All previous manipulation - update to 6.0.1, full reset, network settings reset, restore from the backup, battery disconection didn't help.
