Q: iPad 3 Why 3G does not work after being on WiFi

When I take my iPad 3 out of my house, I have to reboot it to get a 3G connection. The 3g icon shows that it is connected but when I try and access any connection it says no internet connection. My iPad 1 seemed to work ok. I've also tried putting it in Airplane mode and back again but this has no effect.

Any suggestions please? Many thanks.

iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi + 4G, iOS 5.1

    Same for me and 2 colleagues in Vienna using the new iPad (64GB, 3G) and connecting with t-mobile. Unpredictable 3G connection after Wifi connection, i.e. sometimes it's working and sometimes not. Up to now I did not identify any issue in switching from wifi to 3G when staying at the same location, but often experience 3G data loss (although iPad states that 3G available) after moving from home to office and vice versa - but as said: often but no always.

    Did not have similar problems with my iPad 2.

    Good to hear that some things are working, hopefully the bandaid fixes work until apple releases a software update to fix the issue properly. Since going to manual I have put carrier back to auto to reproduce the error, and now, the error doesn't happen anymore! (well, for the  last few hours).Not sure what to tell the genius on Thursday if I'm unable to reproduce the error, I bet it will happen straight after seeing him!

    From Portugal with TMN Network

    My iPad 3 shows full bars and a 3G logo but then refuses to load anything, say no internet connection. To return to the Internet have to restart the ipad.

    It's normal?

    Help

    Ciao Marco

    sto per andarmi a comprare il nuovo ipad e sono non poco preoccupato dalla vostra discussione: puoi confermarmi come hai risolto il problema (non sono sicuro di aver capito):

    devo chiedere l'ipod3 con codice DQTH? Ho capito bene? E, in caso, non è sicuro che lo trovo? Per trovarlo devo andare in un Apple Sore o lo posso trovare anche in un altro punto vendita? (io ho programmato di comprarlo in un MediaWorld di Roma)

    Per favore se puoi ti chiedo di rispondermi presto! (dovrei comprarlo oggi stesso!)

    Grazie mille

    Ho appena chianato l'assistenza apple "express line" e mi hanno detto che i problemi di connessione non sono legati all ipad ma sono da addebitare alle reti TIM e VODAFON che utilizzano ancora delle connessioni obsolete che con l'Ipad2 funzionava tutto bene ma con il nuovo IPAD che E' piu' avanzato, dovranno ancora aggiornarsi.

    Concludendo: bisogna aspettare in nuovi aggiornamenti e non continuare a cambiare IPAD. E aspettiamo?!?!

    I am also having the same problem . Have contacted Bell and after trying several restarts and different setups they think the problem must be with the iPad.

    Temo che abbiano ragione. Dopo essermi dannato con la mia scheda TIM, ho inserito una della TRE che avevo. E il problema è sparito perchè la TRE non si collega alle reti EDGE o GPRS ma solo alla 3G.

    Quindi sembrerebbe che il nuovo iPad non funziona più e va i palla quando ci si collega, attraverso Vodafone o TIM a queste reti. Pare allucinante ma torna con les'perienza fatta. Quindi o TIM e Vodafone fanno qualcosa, o la fa Apple o si passa tutti a TRE (o si vende l'iPad!)

    Good news. Apple have today enabled logging on my iPad, this should give them the diagnostic information that they need to progress this issue.
