using auto3g on ip5 jb6.1, no problem so far. works perfectly n flawlessly.

A few thought regarding this 3G issue on iphone 5. At first i believed that iphone 5 has a very poor athena that give a weak 3G signal thus lead to the signal frequently switch to edge. But after i used auto 3g app, which enable me to force the 3G signal, i can conclude that the athena was fine actually. The problem i guess must be something to do with iphone 5 software that prefer 2G/edge over 3G when 3G signal is slightly lower than 2G/edge signal. To those who faces this problem, for me i personally recommended this auto 3g app. It worth it.

Running Auto3G (Cydia Tweak) on iPhone 5, iOS 6.1. I can confirm that the force 3G option works, FULL BAR. Why the hell this was a problem in the first place, i dont even know. WTH Apple?

Thank you to all who helped, especially Memories_Fallen!

Great! Hope you enjoy it!

you don't need to used other people comment to reply me.


Actually I have all my idevice's jail-broken because I used Sbsetting, Zephyr, Weekillbackground. I found these tweak are a must for idevice. But it happened Auto3g just couldn't work after a few reboot?

As for me I don't always switch on 3g or even used Edge because I have ipad mini to received my email/whatsapp/Tango etc.... I only turn on 3g when I wanted to used, by doing so my IP5 battery lifespan are much longer. by turning on/off all the time the 3g sometime won't work. it will stock at edge. After testing not switching off the 3g selection and only used the cellular on/off method. It works well now.


Anyway! I'm just sharing here. It doesn't method for me anyone would like to try it or not.

Great to hear that auto3G helps but too bad 6.1.3 cannot be jb to download this app.
But please take note of following when you are using this apps
- would it damage system as it is forcing the nominal bandwidth to the maximun to get 3G, not sustaining its actuall optimization to get that bandwidth
- would it be increase of higher RF signal thus more gamma/radiation as it is again forcing its operating parameters to search & auto 3G settings?
Dont worry, i am not an apple employee .. .

Just to let u know I didn't ask anybody to do anything for me. Pls don't simply judge without any prove.

My 3G in iPhone5 works charming now. No longer losing 3G or Edge and easily get back 3G when came out from basement. No using any Cydia Tweaks or anything, just original. Maybe the Maxis really done the upgrading work.

Mine also seems to be rather stable today. Was using the Auto3g tweak all this while to lock the 3G from going to Edge. Now turn it Off d, and everything is stil running fine.

Were you experiencing this 3G bug before?

nah maxis is already the best in malaysia..... now got many problem because they upgrading to LTE lol... i called and ask them already.

Wa they upgrading to LTE? so we'll be having 4G service soon?

just saw this topic..my iphone sometime hang a but too..it take long time to detect 3g service while my friends phone is 3g full bar. i was standing next to my friend and his is 3g full service while mine is edge

yea..broadband already have LTE for maxis:)

but i heard that my friend say ip5 LTE cannot support malaysia?(because of the frequency thingy)

What I did just now:
Click setting
Click Carrier
Off Automatic
Wait a moment until you see a list of telcos
Choose the telco of your simcard (in my case i choose My Celcom)
Click On Airplane mode
Click off airplane mode
Immediately the Edge change to 3G

It's Maxis problem as I just receive this notification from them. RM0. We are working on the resolution of occasional lost of data connection on yr device. Kindly restart for re-connection. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

How come i didnt receive such notice? Did you report to Maxis?
Mine sharing the snapshot screen.

I have seen vast improvement lately with regards to locking to 3G signal. Perhaps Maxis did improved their network.
