How to fix wifi grayed out in iPhone 4s
Hi. I'm one of the iPhone 4s user. I also bought iPhone 4s for my wife. Three month back, I update my wife's iPhone from IOS 5.0.1 to IOS 6. After that, I update mine to IOS 6. For my wife iPhone, after a month using the new IOS, the wifi suddenly her iPhone cannot detect any wifi connection. Then, she ask me to fix it. I decided to restart her iPhone. I thought, after restart,the wifi will be working again. Unfortunately, the wifi button become grayed out. I cannot even turn it on. Then I decide to send it to the dealer since her iPhone still under warranty. Then send it back to Apple and Apple change it to a new one.
For my iPhone, everything is fine and I update to IOS 6.0.1. The latest version. Last two night, suddenly my iPhone cannot detect wifi. And then, I turn the wifi button off and turn it on again. The result is still the same. Then I decided to downgrade the IOS 6.0.1 to IOS 5.1.1. Last night, I try to downgrade using Redsnow. Unfortunately, I failed to downgrade the IOS and the best part is, the wifi is back to normal. I can turn it on and off and also connect back to my home wifi.
How I do it? Just follow below step. Please note that, if you turn off your iPhone, the wifi will become grayed out again.
File needed : Redsn0w 0.9.14b2, IOS 5.1.1 firmware.
Step 1 - Download two file from above link.
Step 2 - Double click the Redsnow 0.9.14b2
Step 3 - Click on Extras
Step 4 - Click on Even More
Step 5 - Click on Restore
Step 6 - Click on IPSW and locate the IOS 5.1.1 firmware that you just download.
Step 7 - Click Ok on the warning.
Step 8 - Connect you IPhone
Step 9 - Click Next
Step 10 - Let the application finish checking
Step 11 - After about one hour, the application will tell you that downgrade is failed.
Step 12 - Just disconnect your iPhone and restart it.
Step 13 - Check on the wifi setting. It should be ok already.
Good luck...
Note: Try at your own risk. I had tried it and success.

Most of movie that I download here is using movie.001,movie.002 format. They split the file so that the size can be reduce for each file. They use hjsplit to split the file and after you download the file, you also can use command prompt for windows operating system.
Firstly, you have to open the command prompt. window>run
type "cmd" and enter
Second, go to where you download the file.
for me, I put my download file in download folder.
I type "cd C:\Users\Shino\Downloads" and enter
Third, copy the file name and then, type "copy /b "movieName.avi.001"+"movieName.avi.002" "movieName.avi"" and enter.
Wait until window finish join your file.
Done.

Camne nak layari laman web yang kena block.
Kali ni shino nak share sikit pasal knowledge yang shino baru dapat. Tiap kali korang surf internet, ade tak website yang korang tak leh layari?besenye kalau kat sekolah @ kolej @ universiti, korang punye network admin akan filter korang punye network @ block website tertentu. Btul tak?
Untuk pengetahuan korang, network admin kebiasaannye akan block gune DNS(Domain Name Service). Dalam router, diorang akan filter website n IP address yang tak sepatutnye korang layari. So, korang tak akan boleh ke website tu sebab korang gune DNS tersebut. Camne kalau korang ade website yang korang nak layari, tapi korang nak layari jugak.
Kebanyakan orang akan gune proxy kalau nak layari jugak. Shino tak nak cerita pasal proxy kat sini. Maybe len kali la kot.
Camne nak tukar DNS Ip kat pc/laptop korang?caranye camni:
1 - Bukak control panel korang, pastu tekan network and sharing center.
2 - Dekat connection, ade connection pe yang korang connect kan?tekan benda tu.(Shino punye wireless network connection)
3 - Pastu korang tekan properties.
4 - Die kuar network connection properties kan?Tekan internet protocol version 4, pastu tekan properties.
5 - Die akan kuar cam gambar kat bawah ni kan?
6 - Korang tekan kat use the following DNS server address.
7 - korang masukkan preferred DNS server 8.8.8.8
8 - korang masukkan alternate DNS server 8.8.4.4
9 - Pastu tekan ok, pastu close semua.
korang try layari laman web yang kena block tu. leh tak?Semoga berjaya.
P/S: Shino wat kat shino punye network, ok je. takde masalah. untuk pengetahuan korang la, DNS server yang shino bagi ni, google punye free DNS server. setakat ni, google takde block pape lagi la.

REMOVE FONTS FOR SPEED
Fonts, especially TrueType fonts, use quite a bit of system resources. For optimal performance, trim your fonts down to just those that you need to use on a daily basis and fonts that applications may require.
1. Open Control Panel
2. Open Fonts folder
3. Move fonts you don’t need to a temporary directory (e.g. C:\FONTBKUP?) just in case you need or want to bring a few of them back. The more fonts you uninstall, the more system resources you will gain.
1. Open Control Panel
2. Open Fonts folder
3. Move fonts you don’t need to a temporary directory (e.g. C:\FONTBKUP?) just in case you need or want to bring a few of them back. The more fonts you uninstall, the more system resources you will gain.
REMOVE THE DESKTOP PICTURE
Your desktop background consumes a fair amount of memory and can slow the loading time of your system. Removing it will improve performance.
1. Right click on Desktop and select Properties
2. Select the Desktop tab
3. In the Background window select None
4. Click Ok
1. Right click on Desktop and select Properties
2. Select the Desktop tab
3. In the Background window select None
4. Click Ok
IMPROVE BOOT TIMES
BootVis will significantly improve boot times
1. Download and Run
2. Select Trace
3. Select Next Boot and Driver Trace
4. A Trace Repetitions screen will appear, select Ok and Reboot
5. Upon reboot, BootVis will automatically start, analyze and log your system’s boot process. When it’s done, in the menu go to Trace and select Optimize System
6. Reboot.
7. When your machine has rebooted wait until you see the Optimizing System box appear. Be patient and wait for the process to complete
1. Download and Run
2. Select Trace

OPTIMISE YOUR PAGEFILE
If you give your pagefile a fixed size it saves the operating system from needing to resize the page file.
1. Right click on My Computer and select Properties
2. Select the Advanced tab
3. Under Performance choose the Settings button
4. Select the Advanced tab again and under Virtual Memory select Change
5. Highlight the drive containing your page file and make the initial Size of the file the same as the Maximum Size of the file.
Windows XP sizes the page file to about 1.5X the amount of actual physical memory by default. While this is good for systems with smaller amounts of memory (under 512MB) it is unlikely that a typical XP desktop system will ever need 1.5 X 512MB or more of virtual memory. If you have less than 512MB of memory, leave the page file at its default size. If you have 512MB or more, change the ratio to 1:1 page file size to physical memory size.
1. Right click on My Computer and select Properties
2. Select the Advanced tab

DISABLE PERFORMANCE COUNTERS
Windows XP has a performance monitor utility which monitors several areas of your PC’s performance. These utilities take up system resources so disabling is a good idea.
To disable:

2.Then select each counter in turn in the ‘Extensible performance counters’ window and clear the ‘performance counters enabled’ checkbox at the bottom.button below.

DISABLE INDEXING SERVICES
Indexing Services is a small little program that uses large amounts of RAM and can often make a computer endlessly loud and noisy. This system process indexes and updates lists of all the files that are on your computer. It does this so that when you do a search for something on your computer, it will search faster by scanning the index lists. If you don’t search your computer often, or even if you do search often, this system service is completely unnecessary. To disable do the following:
1. Go to Start
2. Click Settings
3. Click Control Panel
4. Double-click Add/Remove Programs
5. Click the Add/Remove Window Components
6. Uncheck the Indexing services
7. Click Next

If you are having task manager problem, What to do with task manager problem
Task manager can stop working for a number of reasons, I'll go over some fixes from easiest to hardest
See if taskmgr exists
1) Click Start -> Search
2) Click All files and folders
3) Search for taskmgr and set location to %systemroot% (usually C:\Windows or C:\winnt). You can actually type "%systemroot%" as well.
4) You should find in the list:
%systemroot%\system32\taskmgr.exe 133KB
If you cannot find this file, you can extract it off your XP CD again. Refer to APPENDIX on how to extract the file. The help files CHM and HLP are not needed to run taskmgr.
Once the files are in place, try running taskmgr again. Try double-clicking on the program icon itself in the system32 folder.
If you can run Task Manager by double-clicking it, but NOT by ctrl-alt-del or ctrl-shift-esc OR start -> Run Taskmgr, then check the PATH variable:
1) Right Click My Computer and choose Properties
2) Click the Advanced tab
3) Click the Environment Variables button
4) In the System variables section, find the "Path" entry.
5) Make sure that the following are in this list. Each path is sepparated by a semicolon.
These are EXACT terms, %systemroot% means %systemroot%
%SystemRoot%\system32
%SystemRoot%
Check environment variable systemroot
If the previous PATH entries ARE there, make sure that the %systemroot% variable ITSELF is in tact. Here's how:
1) Click Start -> Run and type %systemroot% and hit Enter.
This should open your Windows folder. Which is almost always C:\Windows, or C:\winnt.
If it doesn't open your Windows folder, but goes somewhere else, or throws an error, refer to Appendix "Fix systemroot". If it DOES open the correct folder, then you're fine on this point.
Once you KNOW that all the right files are there, and the variables are in tact. Move on to...
Check user and system policies
Note that if you have a policy problem, you will usually get an error when you try to open it, such as "The system administrator has disabled Task Manager" or something similar.
1) Make sure you are logged in as a user with administrative privileges. You can see which users are admins by going in Control Panel and clicking the Users icon.
2) Start -> Run regedit
3) Browse to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
4) Click on each subfolder under Policies (it is usually System that has the entry).
5) You will see in the right-hand side, and entry called DisableTaskMgr.
If you see this key (right side), just highlight it and delete the key. Note that if the key's value was "1", that is why you can't open Task Manager.
6) Also check this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
Repeat from above and delete the key DisableTaskMgr.
If for some reason that doesn't work, I found one case where just typing this into the Run box does the trick, here is the command:
REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
It basically does the same thing of changing it manually in the registry. But just in case...
You'll have to log off and on for these changes to take effect.
If Task Manager still doesn't work, check the same registry keys you changed above, if they are back to the way they were before, then you have malware setting it this way. And so...
Clean system of malway and viruses
See if taskmgr exists
1) Click Start -> Search
2) Click All files and folders
3) Search for taskmgr and set location to %systemroot% (usually C:\Windows or C:\winnt). You can actually type "%systemroot%" as well.

5) You will see in the right-hand side, and entry called DisableTaskMgr.
If you see this key (right side), just highlight it and delete the key. Note that if the key's value was "1", that is why you can't open Task Manager.
6) Also check this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
Repeat from above and delete the key DisableTaskMgr.
If for some reason that doesn't work, I found one case where just typing this into the Run box does the trick, here is the command:
REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
It basically does the same thing of changing it manually in the registry. But just in case...
You'll have to log off and on for these changes to take effect.
If Task Manager still doesn't work, check the same registry keys you changed above, if they are back to the way they were before, then you have malware setting it this way. And so...
Clean system of malway and viruses
