- dman 13y agoLets blame the user.
- general_failure 13y agoIts clearly pebkac. Case closed.
- cstrat 13y agohaha that isn't what I meant, I was pointing to it not being a systemic issue with older iPhones... however if what @hrrsn says is true then it does sound like it is a big issue. I wonder if there are any specifics that lead to the wifi issue, like a certain batch of devices.
- acqq 13y agoI have iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.3 and no problems.
- hrrsn 13y agoI work at a third party Apple repairer. We get 1-5 calls a day about the greyed out WiFi issue. 99% of the time, it's a 4S and we have to refer them to Apple for repair. It can usually be fixed by resoldering the WiFi chip but we can't guarantee the repair, so we don't offer it. Not an iOS 7 problem either, but a common thing is for it to happen after an OS update.
- acqq 13y agoThat explains the claim from the deleted post: behind "somebody heats the chip to 300 degrees and then it works" is actually hidden "resoldering sometimes helps." Heh.
