Same Problem in Switzerland!!! 😮


That make me crazy!!! I am in a area where the 3G is not that great so i prefer to do may business calls with the EDGE net because with the 3G i have all the time big problems with the connection.


I was so happy when the Update came about the new Button where you can switch betwwen 3G and E..


But now with the iOS 6.1 it is a DESASTER again!


I can't believe that!

So please do another Update!!!!


Is it right, that there is no possibility to downgrade the iOS 6.1 back to the 6.0.1 or 6.0.2?

Hi everyone I have found a solution that's works and works for my friends.


Step 1: go to settings select carrier and turn off automatic


Step2: wait until you can see other carriers other than your own


Step:3 select a different carrier and wait until your phone says No Service


Step 4: then select your own carrier and you should now be back on 3G


Step 5: that's it don't reset your phone because this will reset all of the above! When your phone isn't showing a 3G signal just go to settings and turn on airplane mode and off again. That will force your 3G signal back!

I also cant get 3G in Sweden (operator Tele2). I cant even search for other carriers, after a while it gives up for me. Flight mode dont help either. iOS6.1 actually is a downgrade for me. I wish i could go back 😟


Apple please fix this fast. I cant have a phone without 3G or even Edge, i can only call as it stands.
