It seems that iOS 6.1 is not being a reference update for many users. Its news is scarce and to top it all, many users are experiencing a annoying bug that prevents the iPhone from using the 3G network in areas that previously operated at full speed if we had an older version of iOS.
I myself have suffered from this problem the other day with my iPhone 5 free but used with the Orange company. At first it seemed strange to me and I attributed it to a problem with the operator, however, several Internet forums (including the official Apple one) complain about this bug that some users suffer on their iPhone, regardless of the model or operator. There is only one common denominator in all of them: iOS 6.1.
In old versions of iOS, it was enough to put the terminal in airplane mode and deactivate it to recover the 3G signal, but this does not work in iOS 6.1 and the phone stays with the EDGE network all the time, making surfing the Internet a painstaking ordeal.
Moment there is no solution to this bug except to go through the SAT so that Apple gives us a new terminal (refurbished) with a version prior to iOS 6.1. You can also try to reset the network settings or, in the worst case, restore again if the problem is too annoying. Let's hope there is an update soon and that the doors to the Jailbreak are not closed.
Actualización: in iDownloadblog we see that Vodafone UK has sent a message to its customers with iPhone not to update to iOS 6.1 due to this failure with 3G connectivity.
More information - Apple launches the beta of iOS 6.1.1

It is happening to me too since I bought the iPhone 5 with iOS 6. Very annoying!
It has been working well for me until updating to iOS 6.1. He has only done it to me once but he just caught me at the worst possible moment ...
It has happened to me and several friends since we bought the iPhone 5. LTE does nothing but lose signal
Well, the LTE is deactivated and the 3G remains, right? 😛
haha, it will be that even so, the LTE is better. Especially in big cities.
Well wow .. hahaha
It seems that in iOS 6.1.1 it does not happen ... 🙂
How much do you like messing with betas! That's fine, so you keep us informed 😀
Cool 😀
Why don't you try it too? 😀
It does not compensate me, it is still a beta and that can give you headaches at the level of stability (although it does not usually).
I only get excited about betas when there is a major evolutionary leap. When iOS 7 comes out, I will give it a try in advance, but from there to iOS 6.1.1 and install the beta being already in iOS 6.1, it does not make much sense unless you are a developer.
I have iOS 6.1 on my iPhone 4S and the 3G works perfectly for me! only that sometimes when I have the Wi-Fi network activated, the Wi-fi symbol suddenly disappears and uses 3G… But that happens very little and takes about 2 seconds to return to normal! I am from Venezuela!
This problem also happens to me. I have an iphone 4s with the orange company. The problem is that the 3G is very slow. It takes forever to open any page. I hope they release a new version of Ios and correct it.

Apple is screwing it up. All those little problems that iOS lacked for me were its biggest advantage, an advantage that it is losing by leaps and bounds.
I had a 3g connection in my parking lot, justilla but fine ...
The last time I tried to connect to the internet (not email but web) it took me so long that I had to leave it to be able to do it ...
with 5.1.1 it did not happen to me ...
also, it gives me that it consumes more battery and the brightness sensor fails (even before doing the jb) so I deactivated it and changed it manually ...
Instead of getting better they stagnate and some things make them worse ...
the rest of the device is great for me (4s)
You finally comment on it. We are very many who are with these problems. I had been with constant cuts for a week, despite the fact that the 3G appeared on the screen and the coverage was full.
But the thing does not stop there. Today I went to the apple store in parksur, and they gave me a new one, with ios 6.0.1. Well, once configured again, it worked perfectly, and obviously I was not going to update to ios 6.1 again. but the update was downloaded by itself when it was connected to Wi-Fi and the electricity grid, and before finishing the download (download only, not installation), it said "preparing for update". I have not installed it, but the problem has returned, so the problem begins when "preparing" the phone for ios 6.1
As it is, I am quite outraged. Right now the phone is worthless. cuts are constant. Let's hope they get an update now and that I fix it, and that I have not "spoiled" the phones forever, because it would be a very fat
Uy I thought it was Claro's problem in Colombia but reading this news I see that Apple is boring us. The truth is that to always be number one Apple must improve day by day and keep us, as consumers, satisfied and proud to carry such an important brand worldwide.
Now they have given me a new one, and the failure is repeated because of ios 6.1. As they do not fix it quickly, taking advantage of the fact that it is brand new and without any scratches, I sell it and buy the galaxy s3, because on top of that they wash their hands, they do not recognize the failure, and the version of ios 6.1.1 that is in beta phase does not speak of this error.
By the way, restoring network settings, or configuring it as new without loading the backup, DOES NOT WORK. It only helped me to lose my backup and have to configure everything again 2 times. Or what is the same, a huge waste of time. On the other hand, there are people who do not connect 3G or take time to connect. For me, like many other people, the problem is that both the coverage bars and the 3G icon appear on the screen. Come on, theoretically there is a 3G signal, and there is, but it is not stable: they are constant cuts that prevent chatting or opening any application that needs internet. And it starts to get very annoying. Above with the replaced phone, I only downloaded the update and the same thing happened to me again ...
Apple's clear strategy to cover the security hole to avoid jailbreal in its 6.1.2 or whatever when people are forced to update, I will sell it as soon as I can and pyro at Android.
What you say is like the cook who suspects that he has unfriendly customers in the restaurant and, to find out, starts making all the dishes that are too salty to see if they get tired and leave. With that solution, the unfriendly and many of the nice ones are going to go away and he is going to lose no matter where you look at him. No, it is a bug. One of those that sneak in because the programmers cannot be in everything, because iOS is more complex every day and perhaps because the quality controls are not so strict or are not effective. What I would like is that these things could be fixed with cumulative PATCHES, as Windows does. Yes, now we will have 6.1.1 but the way to install involves seeing the progress bar and praying that the phone reboots; On the other hand, with a Windows update, the affected files are patched and it is not necessary to fiddle with the entire bloody operating system. 🙁
Hahaha, I have an iphone 5 and a htc one x + .. I assure you that for every ios failure there are 500 android. If you like doing the cousin with your mobile you know but if you want a smartphone as God intended ... that can only be achieved by having ios.
You look for a good rom for the HTC One X + and you will see that it does not have 500 bugs as you say ……. Both iOS and Android, for my part, are good operating systems, I use them both, and no problem.
Completely agree with you. Before it was not so noticeable that the updates were made to cover the holes in the system so that the phone cannot be unlocked. The worst of all and more annoying is that with the new update the coverage of the phone is already affected, leaving no choice but to update it, thus annoying users. Don't these gentlemen think the damage they are doing? Personally, I have had this problem since Saturday and without having it "jailbreaked."
I prefer to go to a system that does not have so many obstacles because, what is the use of having a nice mobile phone if it does not even maintain its coverage?
Excuse me, which cydia app or tweak is the one below the weather widget, or is it a sbsettings theme? Someone to help me find out.
NCSettings, is a tweak similar to SBSettings.
Thank you!
See that I use that tweak and when I deactivate the 3G and the mobile data I enter settings> general> mobile data and the 3G is still active
It's OK for me, deactivating 3G does take a little longer than normal (about 5 seconds) but it does.
Well, it is not bothering me in my 4s, everything is normal with my Jailbreak, 100% functional I could say, the normal 3G network
I am in Colombia, with movistar, and so far I have not had problems with 3G, I have even tried several times what Nacho says about activating and deactivating airplane mode while with 3G, and everything is normal.
I'm funny about "don't update." After having updated and today they gave me a new one that I did not think to update, but the system has downloaded it for me alone and has reproduced the error ...
I have a 3GS and, since I updated to iOS 6, I must have the 3G activated yes or yes to be able to receive calls or messages (with data activated or deactivated). If I deactivate it, although it shows me the indicator with the maximum coverage, I do not receive calls or messages.
It's quite annoying, really 🙁
I already said what happens with the 3G and that is the fault, I am all the time with the airplane mode because it goes wrong
I was just about to prepare things to update my iPhone 6.1, which is on 4, to 5.0.1 and now you come out with these ... is it a general problem, or does it only happen if it is jailbroken? Could it have to do with having jailbroken the previous version, and when updating and restoring the copy, a file that shouldn't have been sneaked in? 🙁
I recommend that you stay where you are for now, but save SHSH in case Apple closes the jail untethered in the next update at least you can go up to 6.1
Thanks for the reply. The bad thing is that for a while now, iOS has noticed that it has degraded; I suspect that with the release of iOS 6 some Cydia tweak must have included a file that did not touch and the phone has left me a bit silly (hang up restarting the phone with the power and home buttons when using the camera for example, and it started to occur when Cydia programs began to be adapted to iOS 6). Maybe I'll wait for 6.1.1, but I start to think that lately there are too many bugs in iOS and every day it costs me more to decide to update because of all the annoyances that it entails (at least if you have a jailbreak) and the doubts of what you are going with to find in this new version 🙁
Well then I recommend that you do something else, that you download your SHSH from the Cydia server and restore (deleting everything, and without loading a backup copy) as new the iPhone, with a custom firmware, you would already have jailbreak, and it would be fine for you again (Y)
I'll think about it, maybe I'll wait a few more days to see if more news about this 3G bug comes out or if it is discovered that it is a jailbreak thing and they solve it. To the very bad I could even reinstall a version 5.x that with the iPhone 4 it is possible to do it as you say, using the SHSH but as I start to update I would like to have the most current version possible ... anyway, every time that new version comes out the same thing happens to me XDDD Thanks for your advice!
It does not matter! 😀
Hello again; just comment that today I have updated to 6.1 because I have suffered a couple of crashes that I was talking about at a very bad time, and as the 3G problem seems to be limited to the iPhone 4S (and not all of them) I have decided to update. And I must say that everything went well: clean installation of 6.1, restore backup from iTunes, jailbreak with evasi0n 1.2 and so far everything is fine; In any case, I have all the SHSH kept in a safe place to downgrade to what is needed when necessary. And if I go back to having the crashes that I had randomly until now, I will begin to think that the problem is not a physical failure of the iPhone and not a software problem ... let's cross our fingers ...
Now I warn you that in iPhone 4S for now you cannot downgrade, not even that you have SHSH 😛
I update: You have iPhone 4 😛
That happens to me because of the rush and not reading xD
I updated but I did not do the JB and my 3G is normal… .. I think that is happening to those who made the JB…. I do not doubt it because I have read a lot that it has many flaws
And what iPhone are you supposed to have? I have a jailbreak and I have no 3G problems ... it is a 4S
It happens to me without JB, with iPhone 5
I am in Venezuela with movistar with an i5 and update without any problem, the 3G is going very fast, more than 2mb of real download has reached me ... I updated but I did not do the JB and my 3G is normal ... is happening to those who made the JB…. I do not doubt it because I have read a lot that it has many bugs I dare to say that the i5 is faster than my PC hahahaha…. I recommend restoring but from scratch and with the original firmware
I installed version 6.1 on my iphone 4S and the truth is that it works very well. So far I have not noticed anything out of the ordinary. You may have noticed that the battery lasts a little less but it is something that I had already assumed. Because of the Jailbreak issue ... well, Cydia is faster than ever! (in 5.1.1 it was a pain in the ass) Very good. And the Weather application does not work for me. Not my girlfriend either on her iphone 4 after JB. Greetings.
Delete appsync, restart (button off + home) and the time will go
Thanks. I will try it now.
so many iOS betas for the final to arrive, the first jailbreak for iOS 6 is released and days later the beta of 6.1.1 is launched because it was "discovered" that iOS 6.1 has a bug with 3G .. that nobody believes it Apple, more than its fanboys ... anyway, how good I have an iPod and I'm not going to update it until I noticeably improve iOS xDD
I also have the same problem, today and I tried to connect in the institute, and I was fatal, until the loading circle of the upper bar was caught, another error is that in the app-store it puts me in any app «too many HTTP redirects »
any solution?
Well, on my iphone 4 with ios 6.1 I don't have that problem. The only problem I had was with the sound that went away but when the jailbreak came out, I deleted a file and the sound has not failed again? but just in case it happens to me i don't plan to update my iphones 4s and 5 to ios 6.1 just in case
That was seen coming, do you think Apple is stupid? I knew of the impending jailbreak that was ready for when iOS 6.1 was released. Who could not suppose that Apple released the iOS with a major bug so that later users were forced to update to iOS 6.1.1 and the Jailbreak was covered. But this had to be the case, I personally my 4S works 100% with Jailbreak iOS 6.1 and the 3G works just as well as always so in part I think that it can also be a problem with the APNs of the operators.
I have been diving through forums and communities and it seems that the problem is worldwide, to the extent that Vodafone UK has advised its customers via SMS not to update to iOS 6.1 if they can avoid it. I do not understand that there has not been the typical reaction of the media launching the news in a catastrophic plan, like when the antennagate of the iPhone 4 ... but at best it is still too early and the news will jump shortly.
In any case, friends of Actualidad iPhone, I would prepare a tutorial to downgrade from 6.1 to 6.0.2 or earlier until the problem is confirmed or solved (maybe tomorrow a tweak will come out in Cydia that solves the problem without having to wait for Apple to make a move) .
It is bad luck that when hackers launch a jailbreak after waiting for so long, iOS turns out to be a frog -_- But on the other hand, now I understand why a beta of 6.1.1 has come out so soon: without a doubt they must already be working on the bug and maybe this beta will solve some cases or lay the foundations to solve them 🙁
I have the iPhone 5 free and after the update I took out the 3G network for a while (settings> general> mobile data) and when I wanted to connect again it did not. I activated and deactivated it until finally I connected to 3G again. Now I no longer deactivate it out of fear 😅
I don't have that problem on my 4s, at least for now, I also have ios 6.1 with jail, greetings.
Another problem that I experienced in ios 6.1 with my iphone 4 is that in the appstore when you give categories you get a message that says (too many http redirects)
Reading this news I can't help but imagine the big apple trollface smile. buy apple they said, it is expensive but never fails they said.
When I updated to ios6.1, the only thing that happened to me was that the configuration of 'mobile networks', both 3G and mms, was deleted ... I reconfigured it and it works perfectly. Take a look there, in case that's the problem ...
I thought I was the only one experiencing this problem, hopefully and solve it quickly
with iphone 4S and ios 6.1, the battery does not reach me at night when before it was about 40%. Now it's late but if I know I don't update or joke
If it serves as a reference to you precisely yesterday morning I had problems with my IP4S with 5.1 with orange, which probably also influenced the operator. Even so, I'm going to play it and update it this morning.
It was about time you published this news. I and many more have suffered from this failure for weeks.
I agree with you. I'm sick of seeing the iPhone "looking for a network"
It happens to me too, Apple has screwed us
I have an iPhone 4, I have been testing iOS 6.0.1 and iOS 6.1 a lot and I am very sorry but I have downgraded to iOS 5.1.1 again. The terminal works much better, more fluid and the system is much more stable. Apart from the fact that iOS 6 does not bring me anything new. iOS 5 for me the best mobile operating system from Apple to date. It saddens me to say this but the feeling it gives me as many others have already commented is that it seems that Apple is going backwards instead of improving day by day. Enough of hasty decisions, rushing with the calendar and increasingly followed product launches. I don't care how late something new and innovative arrives, but please let me do it in style.
Greetings,
David.
hahahahaha what a silly thing !! Again placebo effect !!
This is what really happens:
It's Friday, and the apple bosses are out for drinks. When they are completely drunk one says .. "What the bastards the hackers eh? They have screwed us with the Jailbreak" and the dumbest of all jumps .. "hahaha, no matter tomorrow we tell our customers that version 6.1 has a 3G network failure and so we will give you pause to move to the new 6.1.1 update and cover the jailbreak »
Update that of course DOES NOT ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING or some bad ones will correct some mistake of siri or any nonsense, but that as we are we think that it does us good and incidentally we are left without JAILBREAK.
I have version 6.1, I have jailbreak and my iphone5 works exactly the same as before, the network works well, I would even dare to say that it is better. If there is any bug in iphone it is due to ios6 and not ios6.1. So until IOS.7 I don't want to know anything about apple GHOST updates.
Regards!
Well, I assure you that my iPhone 5 .. 3G does not work .. It takes more than a minute and I have 6.1 by the way, how have you installed iOS 6.1 from Windows or Mac? Anyway iOS 6.1 is the same for everyone .. Yes, if you do not get an error tmb .. I'll call Apple Let's see what they tell me .. I restored it through iTunes .. 3 times and nothing continues with the same error ..
1 +!
Hello, it is not for nothing but this also happens because of the rush of people wanting to install jalibreak or the latest version of iOS which we have been with them for years, it is better to wait a few weeks so that these things do not happen, by Apple every time worse It is being earned that people get an android that today some are already superior to iOS for now I will continue with iOS 5 and as everything continues so welcome you are NEXUS
I am a technician in an Apple technical service and I can tell you that this only happens that you comment on devices that have had a jail at some point. In an original terminal without modifying in all its technical life the device does not pass.
Lie, it happens to me (both with the one who first gave me the problem, and then with the one who gave me in the apple store as new). Both (both this one and the one I returned) have been apple substitutions, so if that's true, I'd find it a shame. I have never jailbroken it, and if supposedly apple gives a new one, it shouldn't have jailberak either.
Apple those who give are second hand, a previous iPhone came to me with SHSH of some versions no longer signed, I think they were 4.3.3 and 4.3.5, that shows that it is a LIE, Apple gives them SECOND HAND.
I have never had the iPhone with Jail, and since I updated the connection is fatal. Every two by three he stays "thinking", on WhatsApp for example it is an ordeal to get him to send the messages, he stays all the time "looking for a network".
Well, that happened to me in iOS 5 with jail, and now in iOS 6 (with jail too, although less tweaks), it goes much faster.
Well now I comment a couple of things ...
1) The jailbreak does NOT modify the hardware, therefore, with a restoration and without loading a backup copy, this 3G failure would be solved ...
2) Why does an iPhone 4 with jailbreak in iOS 6.1 fail and in 6.1.1 without jailbreak it also fails?
3) in a 4S in 6.1.1 it DOES NOT fail (No jailbreak) But in 4, I clean completely, it FAILS.
Why is it… I think that this supposed «Apple technical service technician» is a FAKE, or IS IT FOOLISH ………………… ..
The failure happens to me with an I5, loading the 6.1.1 does it solve the problem of 3G?
Yes, but that is beta and you will NOT have a jailbreak ……
Look, I have a free iPhone 5, without JB and since I updated to ios 6.1 it happens to me, so do not say that in an original term without modifying in all its technical life it does not happen because I start laughing, it is not true. Please don't try to fool the staff, don't sneak.
I bought an i5 2 weeks ago brand new and it is already giving me problems ...
I have the 6.1.4 and it fails enough, it does not connect to the Face being on 3G and this new one does not have jail and it is cutting
Well, the connection is better for me: S
Well, I did experience that problem this very Thursday. I called Movistar and they told me that there was no fault on their part. So I reset the network settings and automatically my 3G came back. Now, with Jailbreak done, and since then, everything better, but still, it does not work as before updating to iOS 6.1
I don't know what's going on at Apple lately, but iOS certainly needs a makeover NOW. We cannot be problem after problem in every update.
Thanks for sharing the news !
Come on, a bug that degrades coverage at Orange level to the rest of the operators ...
It is true that it damages it and nothing can be done, has someone been able to solve it?
Apple warns that the jailbreak .. "It is dangerous" and reloads it with its software iOS 6.1 .. The 3G network of my iPhone 5 does not work .. It takes more than a minute to turn on and sometimes it does not turn on .. They do Bet and the only thing they get with that is that they speak ill of their operating system .. Come on, don't screw me! What do not have employees testing iOS 6.1 and have not realized that 3G does not work. What a bunch of children of…. !!!! I'm up to the balls .. No problems and more .. The AppStore does not load the purchased apps well .. The photos are not adapted to the screen .. Etc! Of course the jailbreak is dangerous right? It is better that they dedicate themselves to solving all the errors of iOS 6 .. Because with iOS 5 nothing of this happened .. I wish Apple could read this .. So that they realize that they are not screwing around .. I like it a lot Apple .. But as they remove iOS 6.1.1etc and the jailbreak does not work .. It seems to me that bye bye Apple .. They are shameless .. Because if the jailbreak had come out and there were no rumors about the jailbreak .. The 3G would work perfectly and all.
What is the name of the tweak that has this posst (in the photo) below the time. That sbsettings as it's called !!!!!!!!!
A little thing. If indeed the supposed 3G failure is corrected with the next update, in the future, will it not give us to think about the delay of the launch of a jailbreak until it is known a priori what faults the new update may have?
Really, the new update did not contribute anything with respect to the previous one, and from what I have seen in all or almost all the cases it is clear the object for what they are removed.
Clearly, a connection failure is not something to be overlooked with so much technology and multi-billion dollar investments. As they say, you can see the duster whether it is hoax or not.
And I came from Samsung ... how I regret it !.
Didn't you think that it could be a problem of coverage of your company in the area in which they are located? They buy a very expensive phone to deny everything, because they do not sell it and buy something cheaper ... do not let their lives go by just a touch panel ... They waste time on this

I have the iphone 4S. I upgraded from ios 6.1 and I had the problem of no wifi and no bluetooth. Then I got the notice of ios 6.1.1 but out of fear, I did not. I got the notice of ios 6.1.2 and I did. I still have the same problem. Was it for not upgrading from ios 6.1.1? What I can do?
Please help!!!!!
Well, I have iOS 6.1.2 and the connectivity failure persists ..
Nor am I shocked because even so Android fails more .. We just have to wait for the update ..
Good, I have read a large part of the comments and I have the same problem on the i5 with version 6.1.3, which is the one that came with me, we know something about the problem or possible solution. because I have already tried everything and it persists.
At mine I gave to restore network settings and now I no longer have a signal, before I lost the signal all the time and now I no longer have a signal or anything I can do
It does not connect to me, if it leaves the wi-fi network it is lost and it no longer connects to the 3g I have to turn it on and off. This is starting to piss me off.
Hey, someone help me I just bought an iPhone 5 telcel released and cut the micro sim and if I grab it but it has no signal ... Believe it was because I did not put the nanosim or because I have no signal ???
Thanks !!!!!
theft report
My iphone 5 also happens the same ... the worst thing is that the 3g signal goes away and not even the edge appears ...
but and this will improve the iphone 5 system ?? http://www.apple.com/la/ios/ios7/features/
