iPhone 4s wifi grayed out temporary fix



I am facing issues of WiFi button grayed out and battery draining very fast after upgrading from iOS 7.0 to iOS 7.0.3. I have been searching through internet right after this issue happened with my iDevice. My three colleagues don't have problems after upgrading to iOS 7.0.3 except for one saying battery draining is fast.

 Many people tried putting their iPhone's into freezer and I am one of them and it got fixed temporarily for at least 5 minutes. I kept it in freezer for 20 minutes and WiFi button reappeared. Interesting information, when in freezer it contracts hardware parts and WiFi reappears and again after sometime due to heat WiFi button gets grayed out again.

 You can see device logs by downloading iPhone configuration utility. Also I can see kernel panic logs related to WiFi inside iPhone diagnostic which you can see (if you have any) by going in Settings -> General -> About -> Diagnostic & Usage -> Diagnostic & Usage Data.

 Now question is, whether is it a hardware issue or software issue? People have different opinions as follows:
1. If you can't see WiFi mac address then it's a hardware problem.
2. If you can see WiFi mac address then it's a software problem.
3. If device log contains something like "ERROR: WiFi device not found" most probably it's a hardware problem.
4. If device log doesn't contain above error then again it's most probably software problem.

 I can see following line in log but don't know really what it means:
kernel[0] : 000046.597746 wlan.E[94] AppleBCMWLANCore::saveDebugInfo(): Please file a radar in "Purple WiFi Drivers" using the instructions at <http://eightball.apple.com/luna/index.php/Debugging_Wifi_Problems#Capturing_Debug_Info>

 So to summarize, what things I tried until now to fix the problem
1. Restoring when in DFU mode as iCloud Find My iPhone was enabled and as there is no WiFi, No Data, I was unable to not able to restore.
2. Restarting iPhone 20 times.
3. Resetting Network settings 100 times.
5. Tried to downgrade desperately but wasn't possible.
4. Putting iPhone in freezer for 20 minutes.

 At last I have decided to wait until Apple's next update.

How to get local time from UTC using Moment.JS

  Moment.JS is a beautiful javascript library for parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates. This is a must have utility library when it comes to manipulating timestamps and dates in javascript. Here I will show how to get local time if you have a utc date time string. Lets say you have a UTC date-time string as  2014-02-19 05:24:32 AM and you want to determine time in your timezone then use following code: moment.utc('2014-02-19 05:24:32 AM').toDate(); toDate() method gives javascript Date() object. Below I have shared an example of how to use it. You can click on JavaScript link below to see the code.

6 steps to create local copy of your live WordPress site

I know there are bunch of other posts on how to create local copy of your live WordPress site, however, they are too much descriptive. Here I will show you step by step approach rather than descriptive one. 1. Export your live database into an sql file. 2. Download/Copy your live WordPress site folder to your local machine. 3. Move your downloaded WordPress site files inside local server’s web root. 4. Open exported sql file using notepad or any other editor of your choice and replace “http://www.yoursite.com” with “http://localhost/wordpress” and Save that file. (CAUTION: This file could be very large so replacing might take time. Command for replacing file content on *nix based system.) 5. Import database from that sql file into your local mysql database. 6. Open wp-config.php file which you can find inside your copied WordPress folder. In that file replace DB_NAME with your local WordPress database which you imported in above step. DB_USER with database user name. D...

Partially rendering Handlerbars from Backbone view

Image
While working on a project I had this situation where I wanted to render a view partially after some ajax is done. In this post I will explain how to render HandlerBar views partially. For the purpose of demonstrate I will simulate delay using setTimeout() function instead of an ajax request. So for an example lets consider following setup 1. Template <script id="PersonTemplate" type="text/x-handlebars-template"> <div> {{firstName}} {{lastName}} <div> <div id="divPartial"> <a href="{{website}}">{{website}}</a> </div> </script> 2. Backbone Model var PersonModel = Backbone.Model.extend({ defaults: { firstName: 'Bharat', lastName: 'Patil', website: '' } }); 3. Backbone view using Handlerbars view var TestView = Backbone.View.extend({ //assign model view instance model: objPerson, //get the...
