wifi doesn't work with IOS 7

Been watching this thread for a few weeks. My phone was infected right after I did the upgrade and I've been living without wifi and Bluetooth for 3 weeks or so. Been hard but not impossible.

I thought for sure I'd move away from Apple phone based on this experience and the fact that my son and wife now have Samsung galaxy devices they love. I've since changed my mind and pulled the trigger on a new iphone 5s after seeing a few co-workers devices and opting to give Apple another chance. I paid full retail which hurt but at least I have an upgrade in my pocket and a warrantee if the 5s turns out to have similar issues, etc... In the end it was the speed, size and familiarity that won me over in spite of this dark period of upgrade ****.

One thing I have learned in the process is don't do a major upgrade of the OS if your device is out of warrantee.

Perhaps it's the fact that I do technology for a living makes me more tolerant of f-ups...

Good luck to everyone here. With my luck a7.04 release will drop tomorrow that fixes the issue!

Here here......all the technical support is much appreciated, but in what appears to be thousands of people's experience is of no financial value. I guess it's put up or shut for those affected

Exactly so the fault was there, but only materialised after the update and this means that the phones were not durable and fit for purpose due to a manufacturing fault and this that there may be some recompense under the sale of goods act or that little unknown eu law??.?. Forgot what it is

Apple removed my post "because it contained non-constructive rants or complaints"... Well, on the constructive side, I tried everything (many times), and nothing worked. I also believe it's Apple's job to "construct", while mine is to "consume". If Apple fails to "construct", and as a result I cannot consume (and am told to pay more to turn a bad Apple product into a good Apple product), I do believe I have the right to "rant and complain", and if you don't let me, well, "that's no way to run a railroad"...

On the constructive side for the many of us that are being forced away from using Apple, because of its uncaring, poor quality service, I have been checking out how to use Android products with the iTunes database I have built up over so many years. It can be done - at least I have managed to synchronize to my wife's Samsung tablet - and all the genre, album, artist, artwork etc is showing at least with the right combination of software.

On the Apple front I see that 7.03 is now out there and I will see whether this does any better than the the iPhone-in-the-freezer solution that gives relief, but only temporary relief from the problem. Am I right to hold out hope as T-Mobile in Hungary advised that Apple will sort this mess out?

Will see and will report my findings here ...

... half an hour later I have to report that 15 minutes in the freezer does more good than the update to 7.03 ...

Seems that those suffering from the greyed out wifi are not important customers to Apple - no solution, no communication from their side at least. Trying to be as constructive as I can, but even I can't solve Apple's hardware and software problems ... 😟

Im one of the victim wifi grey out... 😟

iPhone 4 user here, once updated iOS7, wifi grey out... after used few days, wifi suddenly come back for 2 weeks... At first was thought Apple silently fix the issue over the air.. im so naive...

Wifi grey out again after weeks again.. im very down 😢😢

So far i not using any freezer, hair dryer method.. wifi on & off itself, it should pretty sure is hardware problem... are guys think that too? 😐

7.0.3 change log has no mentioned any fix wifi issue... so sad...

Apple do not care us anymore..

Well - I have just wasted 3 hours trying to undo the grayed out Wifi on problem as per above. I tried the update/backup/restore three times before calling (the "official") Apple Support line. I knew I was in trouble because of the difficulty the answerer had with English communication (he knew English fine but we had trouble with understanding each others pronunciations). We went down the script he had and finally he said that he thought I had a problem - genius! - and that I needed new software that only he could provide (i.e. not me) and that he needed to have control over my Mac (warning, warning, danger.....) to check my 4S. I really didn't want to do this but did 😟. He then told me that I had a "software glitch" on my phone from some nebulous software app (e.g. iOS 7.03 perhaps??). He said he could fix it with new software he could load - I could not do it myself - AND - he would have to charge me $69.95 for the privelege - for 6 months support. I would not agree to this - which was good because I now see that it is a hardware issue and software wouldn't have fixed it. So unless Apple can find an iOS fix before I take a hammer to my phone (not eligible for an upgrade with AT&T of course), I will go to a Samsung Galaxy later this week - may be today even. This is absolutely ridiculous that Apple would give us all this song and dance about this issue. They have lost me as a customer. When my MacBook Pro dies (next OS change??) I will go back to the PC dark side. There are consequences to stupidity - obvioulsy mine for buyng the 4S and then upgrading to iOS 7. Sorry for the rant. Just wanted to add one more incident to this thread in the hope that may be Apple might care about its (once) loyal customers.

I wanted to update my situation for the record - not that anyone from Apple intends to correct this problem - my 4S had the greyed out wifi button several days after the updgrade. But then after resetting and following a few of the ideas in this thread I got the green button back. Problem averted ... or so I thought.

I left the US for a one month trip to Europe with my 4S. Wifi was working fine once again. However, in the past week I was on a train passing through many cell zones. And I noticed the phone seemed to be draining the battery faster than normal was getting hot.

When I got to a wifi router I tried to turn on wifi and guess what, the button was greyed out again. Also I am not able to turn on the bluetooth.

So I'm stuck in Europe with an iPhone that doesn't function as it should.

What a nuissance.

Lol are you Kidding me...

The other day I Thought **** Ye an Update that will fix all these **** Issue's with WIFI..

So I Backed up my SHSH.Blobs So I can Downgrade anytime after apple stop signing.

& Then did a Back-up & Upgraded to the IOS 7.0.3 & Guess what People...

IT NEVER FIXED THE WIFI 😟 So So Dissapointed in Apple even more now than i was.

It's Plain to see Apple are to Chicked & Terrified to Step-up & Admit they F**ked-up..

So Today I sold my Apple Iphone to Cash Convertors & Got my self a New Windows Phone for work & a Samsung Galaxy for personal use.

So As of today I've left apple for good.

But will still keep an eye here to see what's happening..

Just updated iPad and iPhone4S to OS7.0.3 thinking the bugs might be fixed and now I can't connect to WiFi to complete the iPad update!

Does anyone find it difficult to understand how and why updates are released by Apple with all these bugs?

I always wait for the third version of an update, but now even that caution is letting me down!!!

Does anyone from Apple actually come on to these discussions? It's so great how they are all 'ra-ra-ra' about how fantastic Apple is, but when there's an issue the disappear!

Any news on when the WiFi bug will be fixed? CBF reading all 43 pages

Totally Feel for you Man..

And yes I would like to know myself the Answer to your Question Below

Does anyone from Apple actually come on to these discussions? It's so great how they are all 'ra-ra-ra' about how fantastic Apple is, but when there's an issue the disappear!

It's simple Apple Step up & reply & face your Biggest Fears.. Your Customers!!!!!

Total BS..

Sent my iphone for service and miracoulously found "moisture" inside which automatically puts the iphone out of guarantee..

It's that special type of moisture that miracoulously greys out the wi-fi use but lets all other things intact!

What a joke!

No one is here to answer, no one answer the 80044145417 "help line" in Greece..

Goodbye Apple, have a nice flight down...

Just adding one more person with the WiFi fail aftger upgrading to ios 7. WiFi had been working without a hitch on ios 6 on my iPhone 4s since I bought it last November. Since "upgrading" to 7 I've had all the problems described: WiFI graying out, WiFi disconnecting and not reconnecting and crashes to bacl screen requiring the "two button reset". I've done Apple's entire list of remediations: clearing network settings, restarting the router and a total wipe and restore. Yesterday I upgraded to the .3 release. Alas, the problem is still here. I sure wish Apple would acknowledge the problem and more importantly, do something about it.

It really looks as if Apple was lying to us all. They've never heard of the issue? Really? Too many "coincedenses" of hardware failure AFTER UPGRADING TO IOS7, don't you think?

There was someone in the discussion who said that we should've bought Apple Care. Whereas in many countries (f.e. in Poland, where I come from) it's not possible to buy Apple Care for iPhone because Apple doesn't sell it for this device. And iPhones are much more expensive here, than in the States - and if you include how little people earn here, this phone is REALLY expensive. (Would you be willing to pay about $3000 for it in the US, 'cause that's a similar price if you count our salaries). We can't afford to buy a piece of crap for the fortune that we pay for those phones!
