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

No problem, glad I could at least help with that issue.

When you say you still have no 3G, do you mean 3G service or the 3G toggle?

If you mean you have no 3G service and you did prior to the update then check in Settings > Cellular (Mobile) and make sure you have both Mobile Data & Enable 4G switched on. If you're stI'll not receiving a 3G signal after this, then you will need to contact your carrier as this will be a coverage issue. The missing toggle options however are not carrier related.

Also the carrier settings updates you refer to ONLY affect the settings found in the carrier menu within settings and the ability to activate a personal hotspot, this missing feature is found within the cellular/mobile settings menu.

Hi Guys,

Great work on contacting Apple regarding this issue Rob - well done 🙂.

Just a quick thought, is there any pattern with this issue related to how the update is performed? I checked how large the download was on iTunes using OSX and it was offering a 1.95GB download. But the OTA update was only 120mb. I wonder if people who update via iTunes on PC/Mac have the issue, or if this is restricted to OTA downloads where users only download the components that Apple scope of the their devices requirements and deliver just the necessary components.

I have the issue on an iPhone 5S (UK model) and iPad Mini Retina Cellular (international model).

Hey again,

Hart heard from Apple tonight, engineering had requested further diagnostics/info which has been supplied. Current estimate from my senior tech is that he'll hopefully have an update on what's going on within 24 hours, a fix still looks like it might be a couple of days away. That said, if the diagnostics help enough that they locate a simple bug, it could be much faster. Gotta wait on Apple I'm afraid

The problem I had was very bad battery life, after 2 months of trial and error, nothing worked until I shut off the LTE icon, My phone kept oscillating from 3G to LTE constantly, still don't know if it was an Apple problem or a problem with my carrier.

I don't know if the forum will get a response from Apple or not, you would have hoped so though... I think there should be a button similar to the this helped me one to mark an issue as solved though, obviously on the post containing the solution, that way it highlights the post in green as a solution for others to find easily.

A suggestion from my tech was that we all go to http://www.apple.com/feedback and leave the relevant feedback under iPhone, emhancement request to ensure engineering get the hint it's something we all want.

I have the same experience as well. I've got a friend with a different iPhone model. We both have 8.1, however his settings provide the ability to choose between several networks types, my 5s only allows me to turn on and off 4G. In addition, although my phone shows availability of a cellular data network, even with 5 dots, it is so slow as to be unusable. This is with Telia in Sweden.

This is a very infuriating issue, where i live i barely get 2 g let alone 3 or 4g.

I don't have the toggle option i am running an iphone 6 plus sim free (have tried multiple carrier sims and none give me 2g coverage)

This is definitely an issue for apple to get a fix out for asap

I posted on another thread about Apple releasing a 8.1.1 in the next 72 hours and they removed the reply so there will be a software update to fix this issue

It used to work under iOS7.1 because I did it to replace my 4G switch by a 3G one. Now, Apple may have patched that hole.

I sucessfulily enabled the toggles but I had to mess with my carrier bundle for it to work. AT&T iPhone 6

In iOS 6 you could modify them but Apple started signing them in iOS 7 so when you modify them it will simply reset it self, fail to use cellular data, (other random issue here)

Having an online conversation with AppleCare as we speak and the agents there are having the same issue so it's not just a UK issue. Also my friend who is on the same network updated at the same time as me and his update installed flawlessly. Luck of the draw I imagine 😟

Although having just completed this step on my iPad, this has not resolved the issue. I will now pass this back to apple & update with further news/advice as & when I get any. Hands up who thinks 8.1.1 will be released tomorrow?
