I've just upgraded to 3.0 recently..

but after i do so, i found out that my WIFI/bluetooth option both greyed out...


what happened? tried to restore a few times, but it's still the same


please help me~~~

have u try downgrade?

This wifi and bluetooth greyed out is not a new problem exclusively to 3.0, in fact this was reported many months earlier by many other users reported on the internet, do a search and you will see, even some people posted video on youtube to show. This thread also started because people experience wifi and bluetooth problem.

As for my case, my wifi option is there (not greyed out) but the phone can never detect available or connect to any wifi network.

I believe something in the iphone hardware is contributing to this wifi problem, because if its software problem, a restore should do the trick, but even some people have tried restore several times and gets no where. To me this is a defect apple has yet to address. They should recall all phones that experience this defect as their customers are paying top dollars for it and wifi is a basic feature that should work flawlessly.

got ppl fix it by downgrade the firmware??

I dont think there is a clear cut solution, I've read people upgrade to 3.0 and wifi problem solved, now we get people without wifi problem upgraded to 3.0 and started to have problem. Upgrade and downgrade also does not 100% resolve the problem, which I see its very critical for Apple to do something about it, sooner the better.

mine updated to 3.0 week ago but not working anymore after few days. it not detect any wireless. already network reset but still don't solve problem.

Celcom has barred one of my lines as they say that my current internet bill is RM2500 - not on data plan for this iphone.
So I screwed them up saying that they should have not allowed it to exceed as the limit is RM250 MAX.

In ay case how in the world do I get the iphone to connect to my wireless router???
It sees the router it even connects to it - but I see the IP is not the one that is generated by DHCP it is some wiered 168.xxx.xxx.xxx with 255.255.0.0 which i believe is the Celcom IP address thus the RM2500.

Pls advise as setting the APN to some other junk does not seem to work either.

What the??? Rm 2500, damnnnn.. Maxis really sucks people money. Poor you. I hope maxis can give you discount.

It's Celcom - in any case the cap is RM250 and I have checked so they screwed up.

In any case how to get this wifi connection going? and disable the APN?

There shouldn't be any settings that you need to fiddle around to get wifi working. Just turn on, and connect to an access point.

Try this, tap on the arrow next to your access point name, scroll to bottom and tap "renew lease". See if it fixes the problem.

If that doesn't work, try "Forget this network" and reconnect.

The last option is to restore the phone. Which i think will most likely fix any problem.

I have tried practically everything even the ones you suggested including the reset network setting except for the restore as new phone.
Is there an app that will allow me to save my contacts to sim as I am sure if I restore as new phone itunes will also wipe out the contacts

Suggestions welcome

My favourite way to perserve my contacts is to sync with Windows Address Book in iTunes. This way, it preserves the name fields (First Name/Last name/etc).

You can try looking at this or this (#4) for contacts backup via SSH.

my wifi cannot detect any access point at all after i upgrade to 3.0. already restored and reset network but will not working.

until now i dont have any solution.

Cheers - shall give it a shot

oohhhh i guess I am not alone on this. I have tried everything even put in static IP - it sees the router then tried to surf - gone again. does not lock

help me pls how to fix no wifi problem and bluetooth unavalible...

I got similar wifi problem when I downgrade to 1.1.4 from 3.0. I noticed some wifi lag considerably while on 3.0, and decided to go to 1.1.4. It simply won't work.

Right now I am with 2.2.1.

I hope Apple is not disabling the wifi purposely for downgraders.


I did notice before, the iPhone got overheat while on 3.0. Found many discussion about some freezer trick. I hope this is not the case normally happened in notebooks/laptops when wifi mini pci-e dead after repeatedly overheat.

Updated:
I got on 3.0 back, and the wifi works.
