wifi doesn't work with IOS 7

So right now my wife's has no wif and I am stuck at 7.0.2...so what do I do now, leave it or update it? Am I stuck at 7.0.2 forever in fear that I will loose my wifi and battery life? What about those who have a 4s and don't update to ios7? How long does the phone survive with all the apps set up for and designed ios7...not 6?

Perhaps Apple needs to provide hair dryers to their customers

Mine died at 7.0 so I think if you've already bit the bullet on 7 you should get the current upgrades, but don't do it via WiFi, use iTunes.

this is my first post here, never intended to post but i'm very very desperate. I shouldn't have updated my iPhone to iOS 7. I really regret doing that because the wifi was working fine before the update. **** it! but i'd decided to go through with the update because they wouldn't let me install the latest version of whatsapp unless i had the latest iOS version (now seriously, I don't get why). and now that i've updated the phone it's been frustrating me to no end because it can't detect my home's wifi network at all, even though I'm able to switch wifi on/off (the button isn't greyed out). i've tried resetting network settings with airplane mode both on/off, and resetting factory settings as well SIM card in/out - loads of times at that. doesn't help. when I turned on personal hotspot on my other iPhone (still working beautifully iOS 6.1.3) the doomed iphone lol couldn't even detect this network.

the phone's virtually useless. maybe I should try the hair dryer/freezing method sometime because I'm really desperate and sad :'( this whole thing is just wasting my time. i want to be given the option to easily downgrade the phone back to iOS 6 too :( this phone is just going to rot somewhere until apple comes up w another update to rectify this problem, it's obviously not a hardware problem.

it ***** because i bought this for my mum so that we could whatsapp each other and she could use facebook, but now she has to wait again and it hurts me. I don't know. apple, please. i have 3 iphones with me now, the third one is dead too because it keeps seeing my home wifi network's password as incorrect even though it works perfectly on my primary iphone. i don't know how to fix that too :( silly wifi issues. I can't afford to buy a new phone and have these issues arise again just because of a bug in the update. apple please do something for the many helpless customers out there who are facing the same problem. I wonder whether you'll listen to us. :'(((

oops sorry for the language I used terms like it *** and dam it haha. super frustrated :'[

Hey vaportrails2002,

I have the 4S and my wifi has not been working since updating my iOS to 7.0.2 then 7.0.3 and now 7.0.4. I've been searching high and low for answers or ways to help since I'm not under warranty any longer. I found this link and figured "why not" and IT WORKED!!!!! after the second time. My wifi is now working properly but for how long, only time will tell.

Hope this helps.

Is it broke yet?

I have the same issue. One week after I update to 7.0.4 my Wi-Fi grayed out. Do something Apple or my next phone will be something with green robot inside.

NBC30 Connecticut did another story on ios7 http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/on-air/as-seen-on/233409731.html

In this discussion, no one has even mentiond the 43,000+ 6.1.3 users and 17,000+ iOS7 users with this problem going to the you tube videos and or ifixit to find a solution.

I admit that I have just been lazy about getting it fixed due to not wanting to be without a phone in rural Alaska and because it costs me nearly a $700 round trip flight to get to an Apple Store or to my carrier's store.

However, when I read the comment about all the overages due to not having Wi Fi and relying on the Cellular service, I decided to comment and get it fixed ASAP. My bills have been outrageous!

I haven't upgraded to iOS 7 because I do not like the funky look of iOS7, but according to all these posts that wouldn't help my Wi Fi greyed out issue anyway, which is the same as everyone else's here in this section.

My husband and I bought the same 4S phone model only several months apart. Mine has this issue, his does not.

I have been an Apple fan since I started using computersover 20 years ago and now make district purchasing decisions, all I can say is MAKE this RIGHT with people APPLE!

Very disappointing customer service when there are so many people with the same issue. It is a factory defect!

i hv like this problem

frist time to ios7

I was like a fool

i can't connect to wifi ...

but for now, i hving this problem everyday . I use to have this

Solving tips: Keep Calm, Wait for auto connect , don't touch to the screen, even the network is familiar wait for auto connect,

now i'm fine with that problem

It Works so much 🙂

I have the exact same issue... though it appeared out of nowhere. Been working with iOS7 fine for a couple of weeks... and then wifi and bluetooth just decided to stop working. ***?

If you would ask me.... this stinks of "planned failure"... a method a lot of companies use to make previously bought devices useless after a predefined time and force people to buy a new one... in short: it's a method to make money. And it's highly illegal!

so apple: react to this! fix it!

I have the same issue on Iphone 5. After IOS 7.04 was installed my Wifi conection startd to fail and the wifi and bt stop working. I did a lot of things, hard reset, IOS reinstall, hair dryier, freezer and nothing works. I'm waiting for the new IOS version. Let's see what happens..

Same problem here. Can use wifi next to modem but no where else. Tried all solutions - airplane mode, restting all settings, changing modem settings etc. etc.

Luckily my phone was still in warranty and went into store and they've changed the handset. Now works perfectly. They think it is problem with wifi chip.
