iOS 8.1 LTE / 3G / 2G toggle

Another information

No 2G,3G,4G toggle after IOS 8.1 Update

Hi

I am using 3G Service from BSNL, India in iPad 4 update to iOS 8.1.

in iOS 8.1, Apple has announced option to select between 2G, 3G or LTE networks for cellular data. I have updated my iPad 4 OS to 8.1. but still do not see option to chose the Cellular Network type. There is no option even for enabling a HotSpot!!!

Any help will be highly appreciated.

I was really looking forward to this feature when I saw it on the update. After installing, I noticed it was not there. I tried everything from rebooting to reinstalling.....nothing. I hope they fix this.

iPhone 5

Tmobile

8.1

Netherlands - iPhone 5 with IOS 8.1 on Vodafone.. no 2G/3G/4G option, just enable/disable 4G..

Vodafone support says thet 'don`t know' about it or simply gives an answer to a different question (evasive manoeuvres ftw!)

ALL,

IT SEEMS THIS OPTION IS AVAILABLE ONLY FOR THE ONES WHO SEE LTE IN THEIR STATUS BAR, RATHER THAN 4G.

I'M CONNECTED TO A CARRIER AND HAVE 4G OPTION WITH AN ON/OFF TOGGLE. MY WIFE IS CONNECTED TO A CARRIER WHO SHOWS LTE AND SHE HAS THE OPTION TO SWITCH BETWEEN LTE/3G/2G, JUST LIKE APPLE STATES IN THE RELEASE NOTES OF IOS 8.1.

NOTICE APPLE STATES IT ALLOWS SWITCHING BETWEEN LTE/3G/2G, RATHER THAN 4G/3G/2G.

NOT SURE WHY THE DIFFERENCE. PERHAPS A BUG.

Understanding LTE options on your iPhone

in the end its still apples fault for not implementing this stupid button for all providers.

but its funny they are trying to blame the network carriers...

I have the same problem. I am using iPhone 5c with AirTel 18.0 carrier. I have tried restarting the phone several times.

YC69, I have a Carrier with LTE connection (shows LTE in the status bar) but still don't get the option to switch between 2G/3G/LTE. So that should not be the real problem

This is already described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6553?viewlocale=en_US

Apple won't change anything in their OS.

Same carrier (MTS): iPhone 5 (which support LTE) has switch and iPhone 5s has no switch. Why so?

Yes, I wrote to Apple but no answer yet.

Hey people I'm a Airtel postpaid user. I was also banging my head to and fro since I didn't find that toggle option which apple's ios8.1 had addressed. After taking a deep breath I just went into Airtel website and there found an option to write mail to care people, though its limited text box nevertheless we can write vital info. I had expressed my grievance regarding this toggle and they rang up to my no# with in 2hours. Initially its rocket science to them but when the guy kept me on hold got enlightened by someone else perhaps some service specialist and asked me to send my iPhones invoice(bill) and IMEI no. to unlock that feature from them. After that I wrote a mail concerning and scanned my invoice along with imei# . I received their acknowledgement saying we are on task escalation and let you know after its done.

I'm eagerly waiting for solution.

One more thing I have an idea sim as well; the moment I insert into iPhone it immediately shows that "voice" option where you can toggle 3G,2G, Lte.

I affirm this issue as completely service specific. Further I have noticied few airtel user with iPhone 5 got this option on the spot.

Regards.

Which iPhone (model) do you use..?

iPhone 5C 16GB.

even i am getting the option to switch between 2G/3G/LTE when i use vodafone simcard in my iphone 5s but when i insert Airtel there is no option for it.

Here's the tutorial that shows how to deal with the switches:
