iOS 6.0.1 WiFi Still Greyed Out

My iPhone's WiFi was working great on iOS 6 when it first came out, no problems whatsoever, until last week it failed over night without me knowing. The WiFi option was still available but unable to connect to my home network and when I rebooted the phone, the WiFI was greyed out. It has not been working since.

I waited for iOS 6.0.1 to come out as I understood that this was supposed to fix the problem many users with iOS 6 have been facing with WiFi connections, but this has not worked. I do not understand why it has failed. I bought this 4S in February and have never dropped it and it has always been in a case. The WiFi was working great before I went to bed and the next morning it was no longer working.

I have reseted the network settings, restored the phone and even tried using the phone as new and this has still not fixed the problem.

No I dont have that. Should I? Like I said, all I have is some Facebook crash reports, some other apps but nothing to what you've stated. I go to General, Diagnostic & Usage.

You are looking in the right place. I am not sure why you don't have aggregated log. Is this is a fresh install?

As a new phone, no.. Its a restore from a backup.

Have you tried jailbreaking, if yes then that's why. If not, then it could've just been a malfunctioning iPhone and you should probably replace it before your warranty goes out.

"Wasnt aware you could ** a 6.0.1 4s.. And if a "losing the shackles"does solves this, obviously it isnt a hardware issue like Apple has claimed..."

Turn off your iCloud apps or delete the account - it is not a hardware issue, it is a software sync issue

"sync issue"? Can you elaborate a little?

If you have iClouds on another devise, which I do/did, since I sync'd it up, that is when the problems for me started. I have now deleted my iClouds account on my iPhone and wifi works perfectly

Jan 22, 2013 6:08 AM in response to alsbabar

I deleted the account and rebooted and issue still persists.

Strange worked for me - do you have another device using iCloud as I did on my ipad 4?

Jan 22, 2013 6:49 AM in response to alsbabar

I have a mbp. I doubt I even have it on. Where would I look on a MBP..? I also find this very odd if it's a simple as this...

Ironically the wifi did turn back on after I deleted the icloud account and rebooted a 2nd time. It wasnt finding a network so reset my router, rebooted the phone but now its greyed out again. Honestly Ive given up.

I had the same problem and I took it to an Apple store and thankfully they gave me a new phone. No more problems with the greyed out Wi-Fi.
