wta to those who update to 6.1.2, did u guys solve the 3g issue? im on celcom 6.1 jb. my problem is it seem my ip5 will always connect to E instead of 3g. my sony arc n xperia z hv no problem with 3g, both also celcom line. i always need to toggle airplane mode just to bring back the 3g, n when it change from 3g to E, it is either wont change back to 3g until i use airplane mode or it will take a very long time to switch back to 3g. please advise.

seriuosly this issue really frustrated me. the internet speed was very fast if connected to 3g, easily reached 5-6mbps. but the signal dem weak most of the time.

what is your highest internet speed ? u r using celcom right? where is ur location?

my highest speed ever reach was 6.6mbps down 2.3mbps up. pakej mobile biz mpro 88 5gb.

After i spend a lot of hours figuring why our 3G connection on iphone 5 sux badly, i read from the net, it happen to all iphone 5 all around the world. So i can conclude that either iphone 5 athena is damn weak n sux, or it could be software bug. I hope it is the later. Any phone i got hav no problem staying in 3g xcept ip5. Also wat sux is we cant choose a 3G only option like bb phone or android phone. Demm im pissed.

Strongly believed it wasnt maxis as im on celcom, also faced this issue. Many of my colleague that r using celcom with their iphone 5 are hving similar problem. So it is either hardware problem like athena dem sux or software on ip5.

Im trying to find a way on how to lock/force 3g only, do u guys have any ideas on how to do it? I already jb btw.

I love the phone but this issue is stupid. I cant enjoy a good internet speed like this. My bb curve n xperia z got no issue at all with 3G, always can get 5-6mbps. But iphone5 keep using E, always need to toggle airplane mode. It getting annoying.

Finally i found a way to force 3G only on my iphone5. I installed auto 3
Now i can enjoy 3G connectivity without a problem. So much happier wit my ip5 now.

I love ipad mini size however i'll wait for the retina display version, i believe it will come soon.

i think u better just jail break it altho u on 6.1 i doubt 6.1.2 bring any significant differences.

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.
