Mr.M Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Bug allowed Apple's new handset running on Verizon to consume precious cellular data while connected to a Wi-Fi network. Despite promises of "ultrafast" speeds, some iPhone users have been experiencing Wi-Fi connectivity issues. Less than two weeks after the release of iOS 6, Apple is apparently still working out the bugs. Today the company released a fix for a bug that allowed some devices on Verizon Wireless' network to consume cellular data while connected to a Wi-Fi network, unnecessarily depleting users' precious data minutes. Apple encourages Verizon users to complete the following instructions to install an update to address the problem: Tap Settings > General > About. Wait for the following alert to appear: Tap OK to install the update. Hold the Sleep/Wake button down until you see "slide to power off". Slide to power off. After the device powers off, hold the Sleep/Wake button to turn your phone back on. Note: To finish the installation of the update, your iPhone 5 must be turned off and then on again. After your iPhone restarts, tap Settings > General > About, then scroll down to Carrier and verify that "Verizon 13.1" is displayed. The fix materialized after iPhone 5 owners bombarded Apple's Support Communities with complaints about Wi-Fi issues they were experiencing with the new handset. Many users have complained about not being able to connect to Wi-Fi networks after the new mobile operating system's installation. Though generally receiving positive reviews, the iPhone 5 and iOS 6 both come with a laundry list of complaints from users.
