3G Connection Issues on Verizon iPad 2 to be Fixed Soon

Given the large number of complaints coming from Verizon iPad 2 users who experience 3G connection issues with their device, Apple came out of its silence and acknowledged the problem yesterday, and stated that the iOS team was working on a fix.

The issue mostly arises when Verizon iPad 2 users turn off the 3G connection of their device via the Settings app, while on a plane, for instance. Once the 3G connection of the tablet is turned back on, the iPad 2 seems to be unable to log back into Verizon’s network.

According to AllThingsD, who discussed with Apple representatives about the issue:

“We are aware that a small number of iPad 2 customers have experienced connectivity issues with the Verizon 3G network and we are investigating it,” the company said in a statement to Mobilized. A Verizon representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Until a fix is released, the easiest way to get rid of the bug is to reboot the device by holding both Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously for more than 10 seconds – a painful, yet effective trick to get the device back online.

It is still unclear whether all Verizon-compatible iPad 2s are affected by the problem, or only a subset. Thanks to the upcoming iOS 4.3.2 update, the problem might soon be something of the past.

    Verizon phone has been very significant to all its users. Despite of all the rumours and issues being thrown from their Company, they are making the best they can just to make sure that all the customers take a benefit from their product. Verizon Company has good quality products.

    This is affecting a tonne of 3G ISP’s not just Verizon, look up iPad 3G connection issues + 4.3 update on the Apple support forums or Google… It affects, Vodaphone, 3… etc. worldwide. It seems to be a SIM 4.3+ incompatiblity issue. It’s affecting a LOT more people than Apple are letting on.

    And no, reseting does not help!
