Anyone having problems connecting to 3G networks with Ipad 3 after using Wifi?

Could this be an only 3G problem, and just not showing up on LTE?

I admit that I'm on wifi most of the time, so that could be why I'm not seeing a problem. But as I leave home for work, my iPad switches from wifi to LTE and does so with no problems. Same at the end of the day.

I'm at work now....I turned off wifi and am just using LTE. No problem with this app saying I have no connection.

It does seem to be intermittent with me only every few days.....

I have a similar issue. I havnt had a chance to prove a pattern yet, but it seems to be after I have been on wifi, the 3G does not work, even though it displays 3G and a strong signal.

I'm in Sydney Australia, and have been having the same problem. Switches from 3g to wifi with no dramas, but switching back to 3g after being on wifi at home requires either a power down, or on occasion turning the network search from automatic will fix. I'm using amaysim (optus network) and this is the only drama. I'm new to ipad, but have had both the iphone 3 and 4 without dramas.

I took my ipad to the genius bar, and while they could see the problem, it wouldn't recur while there. We went through doing a reset and fresh install, which didn't fix it. When I went back there were no arguments, they replaced my month old ipad with a new one. This one has not had any dramas!

Apple has released IOS version 5.1.1 which supposedly fixed the 3G connection issues. If you are suffering with this problem (and are not interested in jailbreaking) you should update immediately.

Hi! Am experiencing the same, but only in case the 3g signal is weak ( 2 or 1 bar)

Neither of these problems are the ones fixed by the update. The update fixes a very specific problem effecting a large number of iPad3 owners whereby the cellular data will not activate when switching between wifi and a 3G / 2G signal resulting in the need to reboot.

It will not resolve a weak signal, nor will it resolve a No Service / Searching issue. Sorry.
