3G Issue IOS 6.1 - Iphone 5

Same problem here (Proximus - Belgium).

Same problem with me: v intermittent 3G coverage on my Iphone 5 / IOS 6.1. Hardly usable without wi-fi.

I went into the Covent Garden Apple store today, and following a quick diagnostic - was told it might be a SIM issue - speak to Vodafone.

Upon visiting the Vodafone store, i was told this was a IOS 6.1 problem.. Whilst they have identified a Iphone 4 / 4S bug - he said there had been loads of Iphone 5 users with the same issue.

So back to square 1. Here's hoping for a quick 6.1.1 release.

Come on Apple. I have an Iphone 5 on Three network UK. The 3G is flakey and the battery lasts about 2 hours. WHY!

Please release a patch ASAP as I cant use my data plan!!

Yes!!!here in Spain it's the same ****. I've got the same problem with my Iphone 5 and vodafone.

I hope the new 6.1.1 fix this issue in the Iphone 4S and they launch it for the Iphone 5 too.

This issue is not only from 4s...

Just found this:

update iOS 6.1.1 has been released on Monday, February 11, 2013.

It seems the update only affecting 4S, not sure if they have a different one for iPhone 5.

Has anyone got it and does it fix the connection issue?

I cant beleive this!!.. Apple only update with the 3G connectivity issue only on Ip4s!!.

Ip5 also have this problem.. Why no news on ip5 and no update for the 5!???..

Come on man.. Since when Apple only cater for certain model only????

Yes there are thousands but there is 1% of the total of iOS devices with this problem. But Apple know about this problem, tomorrow the engineer who called me yesterday is going to tell me what he observed in my iPhone and I'm going to tell us here.

Any news...? 😉

Hi, I am on iPhone 5 iOS 6.1 and since then my phone won't select 3G. It's stuck on EDGE. I tried the workarounds in the forum but they appear temporary. Once the phone goes back to EDGE it never goes back to 3G again. I don't know whether this is my network or my iPhone, but the behaviour is the same as posted on this thread. My 3G coverage is a little variable at home. I wonder if it would go on 3G in a strong 3G signal area.

I noticed the iOS 6.1.1 update for iPhone 4S only on a similar issue. Does that imply there is not a related problem with iPhone 5?

Best regards all.

I installed the 6.1.1 update, have done quite a few restores and still have no service going on 24 hours. Returning the phone today for a new handset.

installed ios 6.1.1. already. still got that problem. got 3G signal on the top left of my phone but "no internet connection". ios 6.1.1. suppose to fix the problem. but it DIDNT! my iphone 4s still got that problem. already reported it to apple. hope they will take notice.

Come one Apple.. Still no patch for the Iphone 5???.. We also having this difficulties as well... Why cant they notice about this...:(..

To be honest, somehow i have lost a lil bit faith on Apple Products.. They treat me like this.. I have to fork out $$ amount of money to get this model.. And until now 3G connection issue still there..:(..

Send email to them, 3 times.. No reply till then... Dont they bother what happen here or they just treat us as isolated case... Sad sad sad with Apple..

I am also having this issue with my iphone 5 in the uk! Its a nightmare, i am restarting phone on average 10 times a day to restore connectivity, before i updated to 6.1 it was fine so i know its not my supplier and not my phone its the software.....Fix this apple!

Hi, try changing your Carrier setting from Automatic to Manual and selecting your carrier from the list.

Best of luck!
