    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.

    http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/02/11/apple-releases-ios-611-for-iphone-4s-o wners-to-address-battery-3g-issues

     

    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?

    Unbelievable, iOS 6.1.1 its for the 4S ONLY??? Whats in their minds??? Hello Apple, iPhone 5 is your most recent model, maybe you should take into consideration fixing the 3G problem on it also. There are thousands of users who have paid lots of money to have the latest of your technology, so it would be nice for us also to receive the solution to the 3G issue...

     

    Said it once and I will say it again. Apple its not the same since Steve Jobs died....

    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.

    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..

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

    Best of luck!
