IPhone 4S Wi-Fi problems
So I dropped my iPhone 4S today and after I dropped it the Wi-Fi will not turn on. It has 'grayed' and won't even give me the option to turn it on or search for a Wi-Fi source. Could the fall have caused internal damage? And if so does anyone know how to fix it?
The Wi-Fi bar has gone down then
Before coming to the conclusion that this is indeed a hardware issue, try the following software tips to see if it will fix the issue.
1) Turn on airplane mode, then turn it off. This resets the phone's antennas, both for Wi-Fi and cellular. This can fix the issue if the problem originates with a glitched setting for the Wi-Fi. If it didn't work, then…
2) Restart the phone. This causes iOS to reboot itself and therefore request the phone to reset the antenna on the phone. This works better than airplane mode toggling since the issue can cause from beyond the settings app. If this didn't work, then…
3) Restore the iPhone. This is a little bit collateral since it does delete everything from your phone. So make sure your contacts and other important information is backed up somehow. By doing so, your phone is completely reloaded, with a "fresh" installation of iOS. This helps more than restarting the phone since maybe this originates with the OS version currently installed, and since the phone reboots with the same OS running, you could have just needed a slightly different version.
If the last solution didn't work, then we can arrive to the conclusion that this is indeed a fault with the hardware, and the antenna of the phone is no longer workable. From there, you might need to go to the Apple Store for servicing.

- Problems sending SMS using iPhone? Have a question for iphone. Have any of you encountered the same SMS being sent multiple times to the same number (at the exact same time)? The recipient only received the msg once but when the bill comes, I'm charged for the same message about 4 times as their records show the message has been sent four times. Is it a phone software problem or a problem with the phone company's network? Would appreciate any input from you guys.
- My iPhone 4 having problems with audio when video taping? Ok so I have had this phone for 2 months now and it's just now having this issue. When I record sound and other things it's fine except when I record video on my phone this sound is barely audible. I mean you still hear it but barely.
