    8.1.2 only corrected a problem where purchased ringtones were accidentally deleted. You will need your carrier to change their configuration file for your issue.

    Ok here is the solution. I Have tried and tested. 100% working. There is no issues with the ios. It is just the carrier update which is causing the problem. According to Airtel, there will be only 3G and 4G from 2015 onwards in India. So they have jump in front of time and updated their carrier setting with the new one. And it affected the battery life very badly. What i have done is port my number to Vodafone. And everything become normal. 2G/3G toggle is back, battery even lasts for atleast 2 days. This is the ultimate solution for this.

    Hi Divjot,

    There it is in the new update Apple changed the "Enable 3G" Option to Enable "LTE"

    "Enable LTE" Enables 4G and 3G Services

    "Mobile Data" Enables 2G Services

    Cheers,

    I've initially update to iOS 8.0 and didn't liked it so rolled back to 7.1.2 (in time when signing window was open).

    Any Vodafone India user update to iOS 8.1 and still have ability to toggle 2G/ 3G on 5S.

     

    Country: India

    wireless Carrier: Vodafone India 16

    iPhone: 5S

    current iOS: 7.1.2

    Modem Firmware:2.18.02

    ...

    If not yet then see Understanding LTE options on your iPhone - Apple Support. In India, Airtel supports LTE (i.e. 4G) and as per link if your operator support LTE then you won't get option to switch 2G/3G. It seems it is like if 4G is supported then all you can toggle is 4G on OR 4G off.

     

    The option to switch between 2G and 3G is available when your operator supports 3G at the maximum.

    i used airtel with ip 6 plus and the mobile settings did not have options to enable/disable 2g/3g/lte after update to ios8.1. i spoke to airtel people, they are claiming it is pending update from apple for their carrier settings which is not controlled by them. i knew that was lie,i switched to voda and now i can select 2g from settings. its all good now.

    I live in India. I was using Airtel on my iPhone 5(UK model), there 2g/3g toggle was coming with ios 8.1.1 (not in 8.1). Then I switched to iPhone 6(T-mobile US) with the same sim card and there the toggle is missing only 3g is getting enabled. If Airtel is not supporting then it should not be coming in my iPhone 5 also. Any answers?

    I spoke to Airtel. And Airtel confirmed that, they are not gonna add this feature as they feel most high end phone users use 3G/4G & want to force users to use 3G/4G. So the only way to get it back is to move out of Airtel.

    i have the same issue, today i bought IPhone 5s and updated to iOS 8.1.3 and I found that the toggle option is missing. However the same Airtel connection, the same SIM i was using on my Iphone 5 and it has all the toggle options available.

    I switched between the phones and I can see that it is working for 5 but not for 5S. my SIM is on roaming since last 3.5 years in Bangalore and I dont know whom to contact Apple or Airtel ... Coz both of them are blaming each other.

    Hi

    Guys this is purely the fault of Airtel not of Apple, even i used a Vodafone SIM card and was able to find all the toggles 2G/3G/4G, and whenever i call Airtel guys they don't have any proper solution for this question
