Anyway, here's the post:
So, new iPhone 5 32GB, iOS 6.0.1 with really bad wifi. Updated to 6.0.2 and now I can't connect to wifi at all, just say unable to connect. I'm using WEP, ive tried all the tricks mentioned in this forum and nothing works at all. 3g is also really bad as is general GSM signal. Phone is constantly in No Service mode. (I'm using my phone as a hotspot now cos I've reset my router and its broken. As can be seen by my bizarre post above, 3G is really bad.
The question is, will iOS 6.1 address these issues? I dont really want to be stuck with a broken phone with everyone saying its software issues while the real problem might be hardware. Any ideas when iOS 6.1 will be released?
Actually, 6.0.2 was made to adress wi-fi issues. The shoddy 3g/GSM service is ATTs fault lol. As for wi-fi, delete and readd the network. Renew the lease. Not helping? Well then I'm lost, cause that's how I fixed mine. 6.1 won't be released for a while.
Yes, 6.0.2 is supposed to fix this issue. In my case it only really made things worse. I have tried all those step mentioned. Reset network settings, renewed lease, tried adding network settings manually, set proxy to auto, tried to change security using every combination possible.
I have a 16GB iPhone 5 on 6.0.2 and no problems. iPad 2 on 6.0.1, no problems. MBP, no problems. Sounds like hardware but i'm told to wait for the 6.1 update.
Try it on a different wifi network. If you still have problems, chat with Apple Tech support. Let em know what you've done, and they may be able to set up some service options, cause like I said, 6.1 is a ways off. (6.0.3 would be the next bug fix, where as 6.1 would be a feature update. I don't think there's any features coming out soon)
