iPad 3, iOS 6, Wifi issues
Here's a list of issues I've had since upgrading to iOS 6 on my iPad 3 wifi-only about a week ago:
- Facebook app - unable to post any content via the app over wifi. However, Siri is able to post content on my behalf over wifi. No problems with anything when thethered to my iPhone 4's (on iOS 5.1.1) or iPhone 4S's (iOS 5.1.1) 3G cellular network.
- App Store not working / iTunes store not connecting - has seemed to have fixed itself...for now...but seems intermittent, sometimes functioning sometimes not.
- National Geographic Newsstand app - cannot restore purchases or download issues over wifi. Error message simply comes up that "can't connect to server at this time". Everything works fine when thethered to my iPhone 4's (on iOS 5.1.1) or iPhone 4S's (iOS 5.1.1) 3G cellular network. I have a subscription, that displays as "active" in my iTunes account.
- Popular Mechanics Newsstand app - cannot restore purchases or download issues over wifi. Everything works fine when thethered to my iPhone 4's (on iOS 5.1.1) or iPhone 4S's (iOS 5.1.1) 3G cellular network. I have a subscription, that displays as "active" in my iTunes account but "inactive" in the newsstand app.
- Time magazine app - cannot see the store at all or download any issues over wifi. Everything works fine when thethered to my iPhone 4's (on iOS 5.1.1) or iPhone 4S's (iOS 5.1.1) 3G cellular network.
- The Economist newsstand app - will not restore my previous purchases over wifi. Everything works fine when thethered to my iPhone 4's (on iOS 5.1.1) or iPhone 4S's (iOS 5.1.1) 3G cellular network.
I have already performend numerous tests / suggestions from the forum, listed below, but the above problems are persisting:
- Yes, I have performed a full restore
- Yes, I have reset all network settings
- Yes, I have changed my wifi proxy connection to auto
- Yes, I have reset my router
- Yes, I have hard-rebooted my iPad
- Yes, I have played with the date/time
- Yes, I have toggled wifi on/off
I am running wifi using a Belkin router with WPA2 security. I have never had any of these issues before when on iOS 5.1.1 and my other iDevices running iOS 5.1.1 have not had any issues either.
Apple - please please PLEASE give me back my iPad's perfect wifi connectivity with iOS 5.1.1! Will these issues be fixed with iOS 6.0.1? Please fast track it???
It goes without saying, but obviously, please also give me back Google maps...
Is anybody else experiencing these annoying issues? I feel like my iPad is only 50% the machine it should be!
Disappointed and frustrated...
