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

I kicked out my Multi-SIM from T-Mobile and put in a prepaid SIM of Vodafone Germany today.

Let's see what will happen.

We try to share our experiences in Germany with all users around the world via twitter too. Please use hash tags #ipad3g for tweets regarding exactly that problem and #ipad for reaching a wider range of users.

He are hoping to get more information that way to be better able to support apple.

I would love to be in a peaceful picket at Apple Inc, Cupertino.

Only my distance logistics cause a slight problem.

I've believed there's thousands of new iPad users are suffering.

Apple statements like,

1. Just avoid using it or holding that way

2. It's normal

3. Still in normal working condition

4. Still in normal working temperature.

Blah.. Blah.. Blah..

 

Think all of us should not tolerate for all type Apple excuses anymore.

Maybe we should launch a peace & silent protest outside Apple Cupertino HQ.

What do all of you think?

btw, just a check with all those that have gone with a replacement. did you get a replacement new as in new out of a new ipad box casing and all or they are giving you a replacement new that is a re-manufactured set?

Good question. How can you tell the difference? They're going to replace mine, are they going to give me a remanufactured one?

After changing from T-Mobile Multi SIM to Vodafone CallYa prepaid SIM using websessions I can say the following after one day of use:

The iPad works like a charm now, no connection problems, no restarts necessary.

Hope this will continue. Got a month websession so lots of time to play with it and check what happens.

The only downside is that I had to spend extra money. Apple customer care, where are you?

I have this same issue. Apple seems to be heading down windows route!, i changed to apply

Dri..

I have exact issue as on previous 20 pages and my local Apple  store replaced my device with a brand new one as they told me that they don't have any remanufactured ones to distribute yet. Fingers crossed for you too!

By the way, my 3G issue still exists with the brand new replacement too. I'm hoping a SW update is going to fix all this as I have reboot the device every 3 days ( to the minute) to get successfully connected to 3G again. And for that, fingers crossed for all of us!

HTH..

Same issue iPad3 64. Doesn't connect to 3G after wifi, or cannot connect after being idle for long time. Very frustrating.

I will not pay even a single application until Apple not solved the problem and I will ask the refund within two weeks.

Hi,

Same problem in Austria using bob (mobile operator related to A1).

On heise.de they reported that Apple is already observing this issue (

http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Mobilfunkanbieter-ueberpruefen-UMTS-Probl eme-beim-neuen-iPad-1545812.html ).

We will see...

Exact same problem here in UK. New iPad 3G. Only solution so far is to switch off and switch back on.

To early to celebrate yesterday :-(

The problem came back after leaving my wifi erea this morning.

Now I am in a train to work and had to restart twice already.

I requested a call back from apple care later this morning.

Let's see what they will tell me.

So T-Mobile and Vodfone in use and no solution. Looks like this will stick with Apple.

Looks like the manual selection trick for the network works for me. Thanks.
