3G Issue IOS 6.1 - Iphone 5

Same problem in Argentina under Claro carrier.

I've tried those manual settings (manually selecting carrier, turning on and off airplane mode, etc) and though they work, when I turn the 3G off it won't connect ever again, unless I do all the process again.

So, I managed to create manually the APN profile for my carrier through a website in which you can access using Safari on the iPhone, and sets all de data automatically on it and installs the carrier profile. But not even that way I'm able to get my 3G connection working once or ever.

I've restored it from zero uploading my backup afterwards, restored it again with no backup, restored network settings, and none of it worked either.

Here I am, with an iPhone 5, one of the most amazing phones on the market........... with no 3G connection.

Mati y como hiciste para instalarle ese perfil o que te lo instalen? Lo hiciste vos o te contactaste con alguien?? Me gustaría instalarlo en el mio tambien, todo sea para que lo solucionen de una buena vez. Es cualquier cosa tener semejante telefono sin 3G, ultimamente las actualizaciones siempre vienen dejando que desear, solucionan una y descomponen otra...

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....

It has been reported to be a loop when using Exchange accounts and synchros with the calendar, iPhone usually fails to connects to the proper servers so it justs keeps on trying to connect all the time, and that's when battery drains.

Also an issue of iOS 6.1 expected to be solved.

Upgraded to iOS 6.1.2. Slightly better. At least now I've set my carrier to manual mode, and if I enable 3G and after that, enable and disable airplane mode, 3G is back and working, something that I couldn't do under iOS 6.1 unless rebooting the iPhone. But when I turn 3G off, it won't come back later at least that I do all the process again.

Must say, I had my doubts before jumping from iPhone 4S to iPhone 5 or moving to another mobile an OS, and endeed up buying it after all. Now my doubts grow bigger and I'm not sure wether to keep on using iPhone or changing to something completely different, but functional...

Me too since I updated to 6.1 can't get 3G in certain areas were as before I had now problem!

And everyone I know are also reporting this! Just won't pick up 3G like it would before the update.

Apple any help please

Me too, very worry about that

Can't turn on 3g,always Edge

Same problem in Italy, it's impossible get 3g where this kind of connection is not at the maximum intensity, the phone remain in EDGE connection...

This applies to the network that does not support LTE... apple must've missed this again...

Me too i can t active 3G with iPhone 5 iOS 6.1

I have the same Problem here in Austria. I also had to turn 3g off and on in order to get a 3g connection. Now with 6.1 it is impossible for me to get 3g. (note: my previous android phone never had this issue and also my girlfriends iphone 4 gets a proper connection with the same carrier...)

I have the same Problem in vietnam

I had the same problem in Mexico, and I found a weird but effective way to solve the problem:

1. Go to Settings -> Carrier and disable the 'Automatic' feature. Then wait a few seconds and select your carrier.
2. Enable the "Airplane Mode"
3. Disable the "Airplane Mode"
4. Restart your phone

And done, now my 3G works just fine.

just a temporary solution

Don't know, cause I've restarted my phone more than 8 times just to check if the 3G still works, and it does. Sure, Apple would eventually fix it completly so you can use the 'Automatic' carrier feature, but for now, it works just fine with that solution.
