Except for the WIFI problem (extremely low download speeds, like 0.3 Mbit/s), I see another problem occurring every now and then on my new iPhone 5 black 64gb. It's hard to specify how often this problem occurs, but I'd say once every device reboot - which could be when power on/off, or changing language (I do change language often).


The problem is, the below dialog pops up all the time and won't go away until I've clicked Cancel about 40-50 or so times. I'm not kidding.

I'm exemplifying with two screenshots.

The full dialog goes:

Tap Continue and sign in to check for downloads.

What's this about? I should note that because of the WIFI issue I have reinstalled the iOS as per advice from Apple Call Center. The WIFI problem did not get better (actually, that advice was ridiculous, coming from a support call center). Anyhow, the current problem didn't go away even. The problem just still exist, popping up now and then. There's no way to get rid of the dialog except tapping Cancel - the dialog reopens. Have to keep on tapping cancel 40-50 times...

same problem here. this is extremely annoying!


i realized, that the dialog does not appear anymore if i go to setting and press i forgot my password. when i am on iforgot.apple.com and enter the mailadress of my real account, dialog does not show up anymore. gettig there is hard, because i am only able to type an navigate in the moments after i cancelled the dialog until it shows up next time.


btw: i have already uninstalled all apps i ever had sandbox users for. does not help.

I have the same issue, and any researching did not gave me any results.

I have many devices and many on iOS6 but having issue only on my iPhone 4S iOS 6.0.1


I'm a Developer and using device to run some developer software, so I feel it can be a part of issue.


Does anybody run any AdHoc/Developer software ?

Have anybody done full reset of device?, was it helpful?

It's pretty much a fact that problem appeared with iOS 6.

Quick "fix" is to turn on airplane mode.

Problem is still in iOS 6.1

The Apple guys are aware of it - I have reported a bug and it was marked as duplicate so at least one other dev has reported it. Still waiting for a real fix.

While this is annoying, the worst part of iOS 6 is still the slow WIFI and if I could choose, I'd have that fixed first.
