You might try a full reset (Erase All Content and Settings). Then setup your phone as new. Do a back up prior to this from iTunes.


Settings / General / Reset / Erase All Content and Settings

After the process is completed, setup the phone as new.

Restore your back up.

Reinstall any apps that may be mssing.

Setup and login to iCloud to sync Mail, Contacts, Safari bookmarks, Notes, Reminders, etc.

If you had any music on your iPhone, resync it with iTunes.

Reconfigure settings you had.

Crazy solution?

my WiFi button was greyed out, have tried every advice (more than 15) with no luck.

desperately here is what I did:

  1. Drain battery (let screen on through the night)
  2. Then I took a plasticbag put the iphone in and add 1/2 dl rice (to avoid moist inside the iPhone), sealed it and put it in a deep freezer at -18 degrades celcious for 8 hours.
  3. Defreeze it at room temp.for an hour in the plastic bag.
  4. Put it in the charger and after 1/2 an hour the WiFi button was again blue and every network nearby show up.
  5. The network you want to use you need to forget it forget it first before it accept the password.
  6. The iPhone is back in business.


I remember that on some mobil phone the memery is maintained with a condensator and by freeze it it's voltage go below what the memory need and voila the iPhone is as a new one for what the memory concern
