Hello Regina, I am so sorry to hear that your 4 S is still not working. Rest assured that this is consistent with a known issue regarding the 4 and the 4 S although the problem seems to be more prevalent on the 4 S.
Apparently, according to various sources on the web, Apple used a more cheaply made WiFi chip in some of it's 4 S devices. A friend of mine had this problem with her 4 S last month. We resolved the issue by, as I learned from Google, simply renaming her phone making sure not to use an apostrophe in the name. So, for example, instead of the name being Regina's, iPhone 4 S" it would be "Regina 4 S". You can rename your phone in iTunes or on the device itself. To rename the phone on the device, itself, do the following: 1. >From the Settings menu, select General. 2. Select About Phone. The first item you will see is the name of the phone, which is a button. Simply activate the button and rename the phone. Next, turn off the phone. Then, Reboot your Wifi router. Finally power on the phone. Hopefully, this will get you up and running. Regina, resolving this issue via software is a black art. For some people it will work and for others it will not. As I stated yesterday, there are plenty of suggestions on how to get this working again but, keep in mind, there are no guarantees. Finally, if you do not have Apple Care on the phone and it is out of warranty, you will have to pay in order to get it repaired. Please understand that you did nothing to cause this malfunction.

I'm on my way out of the house so cannot go into details as to possible fixes but this is a known issue that has to do with the physical radio chip on the device. If you have not resolved the problem by later tonight, post to the list and I will give you some possible solutions. Of course, Google is replete with possible fixes on this. I'm assuming your device is an iPhone 4, or 4 S?

I still have no wifi, all the things suggested done including resetting all settings. When I asked Siri to turn my wifi on, she said she did it, but then when I then asked her to turn it ouf to see if there was any difference in the status bar, she told me wifi was already off. Now when I tap the home button 3 times, it says app switcher, but it is not in the app switcher. Cannot turn off VO any longer. OMG, what in the world happened? I used it last night and it was fine. Now it will not even reset? screaming in frustration and worry somehow I broke it and I have a month until I can upgrade reggie and Allegra On Nov 5, 2013, at 3:53 PM, "Alan Paganelli" <alanandsuza...@earthlink.net> wrote: I assume you've tried asking siri to turn WI-FI on? ------- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013!

I have tried every reset except to literally restore the phone. It worked on wifi last night fine. Is there a reset I can do to just take iPhone out of wifi and reinstall it without doing a total restore? Computers and iPad fine. My wifi is dimmed! Help, and thanks for any help in advance. Seems iPhone in many ways has decided to give us a rumn for the money! reggie and Allegra -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
