iOS 6.1.3 hav'nt fix wifi greyed issue

I put phone in ziplock bag and used a straw to take all air out and put in freezer for approx. 30 min.

i then checked my phone leaving it in the bag and presto it was working!!!

Try, there is no harm.

I didn't, i left it on and funny was when my freezer was notifying me of messages!!

Also it has been over 3 hours and wifi and bluetooth are still working.

Keep us posted.

go to settings - general - reset - network settings

then wait and see.

Apple WILL solve it of you take the phone to an Apple store, by replacing the phone. It is a HARDWARE FAILURE. No amount of software can fix it.

Thanks for the reply! I'll go to an apple store and ask about this today. I'll update later, guys.

Hi,

I am another person who has the same issue. Wifi is disabled and greyed out. Strange of Apple to not answer to these critics and issues. Obviously its a global problem and a big issue for many whom Apple has ruined their phones for. Least they can do is to answer and start solving this issue. Its obviously a software issue and the problem is very serious. So i must say that I am very disappointed with their service mindedness and especially this update 6.1.2.

Apple you must fix my wifi which you have destroyed and meet tjese critics.

As has been said several times IT IS A HARDWARE FAILURE. No software can fix it. No one has been able to fix it with software, even people who have hacked the phone to try. The phone is broken. Deceased. It is a non-iPhone. It is not pining for the fjords.

So, what you're saying is that it's a hardware problem, Lawrence?

You should have said that in the first place!

Hi, Lawrence.

You sound very sure its a hardware issue. How come it came with the same software update for everyone? Did that update blow up something in everyones phone at the same time. Wonder what the warranty will cover here. I think I should have a new iPhone since I havent broken anything myself and a phones wifi shouldnt stop working after 15 months. I am really confused. Should my expensive phone just stop working after an update...

It DID NOT come with the same software update for everyone. It came with the 6.1.3 software update for a few people, but it also happened out of the blue on other versions, and after upgrading on other versions, and I just responded to another thread where a user reported the problem appearing 6 months after updating to 6.1.3. Plus the fact that if you take the phone to an Apple store they will tell you it is a hardware problem.

There are also a number of posts here (and in other places on the Internet) from people who fixed it by fixing their hardware. The Terms of Use of the forum don't permit a discussion of self-repairs, but a web search will provide lots of instructions on how to fix it by opening your phone and resoldering the WiFi chip, or replacing the WiFi chip. That doesn't sound like software problems to me.

Within the forum there are a number of posts from people who fixed it by freezing their phone, or by heating it with a hair dryer. Heat sensitive software? Really? Again, not a recommended approach unless your phone is out of warranty, but clear evidence that the problem is in the hardware.
