I updated to 6.1.2 from the 6.0.2 SEED set that i just got.
It's the software i can confirm because prior to updating as i mentioned above, I can get good signals, and able to detect 3G immediately. After updating, shit comes back. fuk.

The best way now is to switch from auto mode to manual mode when finding ur telco. Do note that this doesnt enhance 3G connection it only increases the possibility to detect 3G after turning on and off the airplane mode.

Lastly, I reconfirmed with the maxis guy again and he said to me that the problems current network problems iPhone 5 users are facing now is also partly maxis's fault as they are consistently having problems with iPhone 5's network. Other telcos work as well. he summed up to me:
50% maxis problem, 50% iOS update.

Is the reason you update to 6.1.2 so you could restore the phone with your previous backup?
Because as far as I know, you can't restore a backup with a newer firmware to a phone with an older one

Else if I were you I would have stayed at 6.0.x smile.gif

This is very much a maxis issue now.

Last time when I first got my IP5(End of last year) I do not have this prob. That was with iOS 6.0 firmware.
Then after I upgraded to 6.1, the prob started. So obviously I would think this is due to the firmware.

Earlier today, I just got my replacement set with iOS 6.0.2 and guess what, this 3G bug is there.
So the conclusion is - its not the firmware but Maxis.
I asked the staff and they themselves admitted its not due to the firmware and they said Maxis is looking into it.
We'll see

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. smile.gif

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?
