Anybody had luck with there wifi greyed out after update to IOS 7

I've been trying all sorts to get my wifi working on my iphone 4s, been searching the internet to solutions, turning airplane mode on and reseting network settings - didn't work, reseting all settings - didn't work. Some have said that if you erase all content and data, basically a factory reset turning it back into what it was when you got it out the box works, but it doesn't, for starters it still doesn't go back to IOS 6 (what it would of been out the box), its still IOS 7, when you go into setting/general/about section and look at the wifi there is no wifi address. Has anybody had any luck with solving it, tried going through apple but they say because its out of warrenty i've got to pay for a repair, seen as its happened ever since putting IOS 7 on my phone, i see that as apple broke my phone, so they should fix it for free.

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.2

This is almost always a hardware problem that requires repair or replacement of the phone. Downgrading to iOS 6 wouldn't help, even if you could. There's a small chance that it can be fixed by following the suggestions in this support article:


iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim


FYI, do not try the "freezer" or "hairdryer" methods you may see posted. At best they are temporary fixes and are very likely to cause additional damage to the phone...

I am having this problem Started when went on holiday last week and put on airplane mode. Big bill when i got home.

Have reset, no joy. Restored, no joy. Cannot upgrade to ios7 as cannot get wifi so nothing to do with that. Surely all these people having this problem cannot be the phones, it must be software and hence Apple problem


Booked in Covent Garden genius bar on Thursday, will let you know if they are geniuses
