Iphone ios 6.1.3 wifi bluetooth problem since update

Hi,


It seems that Apple has a problem with the Iphone 4s IOS update 6.1.3.


Since i updated my Wifi and Bluetooth on my phone have fallen over / failed.


wifi is unable to be switched from off to on (greyed out)

Bluetooth will not turnon either just icon circling around.


After looking at some of the meesages on he it would seem that the update has damage the phone???


I have backed up, removed all settings, restored the phone but no joy.


I will try putting the phone in the freezer, yes this has been suggested as a fix.


Failing that i will have to return the Phone the Vodafone /Apple for them to sort.


Not very happy at all.


Apple please sort this issue, and quick!!!

I have the same problem. Everything was fine in my 4s until 6.1.3 update. Then the wifi and bluetooth stopped working. I am an iphone holder for many years (since 3g) and this is the last time i buy an apple product. It's unacceptable to update your device with the latest ios in order to fix(!!!) some problems and instead of that, more problems occur.

I'm having a similar issue. My buttons are not greyed out, but my iPhone 5 refuses to pair with several of my devices.


Ever since I updated to 6.1.3 my phone no longer recogzines my Wahoo Blue HR heartrate monitor, iHome IDM12 or my Withings scale.


I do get an option to send audio to my iHome, but even though it says its connected no audio can be heard from the device.


The only device that still pairs with my phone is my Motorola Bluetooth speaker in my car.

I have the same issue. Just bought an iPhone 5 to replace a 4, and the phone won't retain a pair to my Toyota RAV4 bluetooth connection. I still have the 4 and now that's it's been updated to 6.1.3, it can't pair either. Never had an issue prior to 6.1.3.


Apple, get your act together and fix this problem! This is completely unacceptable!!!!!

Another disgruntled customer here. Apple really are a laughing stock now. Every iOS fix breaks something else but not being able to handle basic bluetooth connectivity (my issue, but it appears wfi is also affected) is real amateur hour. I'm almost afraid to demand a solution because it will DEFINITELY break something else. This does need sorting though and should never have happened in the first place.

Same problem. I've tried the apple support site recommendations... reset network settings etc. No result. The problem is that there is no place to enter the needed pin code any more. The dialog box needed for that is completely absent. And on top of that if you actually want to communicate with a tech support person (for a problem caused by Apple programming to begin with) you will actually have to pay for said support first. I have to say that Apple is feeling more like Microsoft all the time. A company I avoid like the plague because of experiences like this that I have had to suffer over and over again. To bad. Apple was a really great company. A really great movement in the tech world at one time. No more though. Time to quit beating a dead horse with a stick and switch to Samsung I guess. That means getting rid of all my apple laptops and desktops too I guess. What a bummer!
