In a related but different issue, my iPhone 4S has not been able to connect to wifi since I upgraded to 8.0. 8.1 didn't fix it. It notified me of some patch today; I hope it works.
I tried a few different tricks I found by Googling, like "Reset Network Settings", but they didn't work. It's weird, after upgrading to 8.1, I had Wifi for a short period, then the next time I came back to my phone it was back to being completely gone. As in the Settings app won't even let me turn it on.
Pretty frustrating.
- petemc_ 12y agoIn my experience, the wifi icon being greyed out can often mean the hardware on your device is no longer functioning. There are plenty of cases of this, seemed to happen most to 4S phones on upgrade from ios6 to 7 but also to iphone 5 as well. Not generally fixable despite people trying crazy things like blowing hair dryer down the headphone socket etc.
- canadev 12y agoI'm definitely hoping that's not the case... I did have this "no wifi" experience happen once before with this phone on, I think, iOS 6, and I did the "Reset Network Settings" trick and it worked again. EDIT: After installing iOS 8.1.1, I have wifi back... for now. :) EDIT 2: Gone again after a reboot, which I did because wifi died. I believe it may have actually crashed my cable modem/router before I rebooted it.
- Too 12y agoThe har dryer + fridge trick actually worked for me, but 3 days later the problem came back again. I thought the OP would be about that issue since it is more similar of the WiFi being fried for real.
