Ios8 3G disable no longer available

Hi, I have a problem. I live in the UK in an area where the 3G signal is weak. Ever since I have used iphone (since iphone 3G) - I have used it with 3G switched off when at home. That way it was forced to use the GPRS (or 2G) mobile signal from o2.
This worked fine, and I had 4 or 5 bars of signal always. If I enabled 3G at home that would drop to between 1 bar and NO SERVICE. This made using the iphone as a telephone virtually impossible as call quality was rubbish and often dropped out.
I used wifi for internet so it was never an issue, and I switched on 3G when out if I needed it.
Since the ios8 upgrade APPLE have taken away the ability to switch between 2G and 3G. Instead the button now switches between 4G and either 2G or 3G, this either is decided by the iphone itself depending on the strength of the 2G and 3G signals.
I have spoken to APPLE twice about this. The first time yeaterday they flatly blamed o2 and said it was nothing to do with them. So I called o2 and guess what; yes you got it, they blamed Apple. IT reminded me of when Steve Jobs got up on that stage and denied there was ever a problem with the iPhone 4 antenna a few years back.
So I called Apple back, and today the guy I spoke to did seem to understand my problem and sympathise with it. He said I was not alone and that hopefully it would be fixed by an update. I have since however read various blogs with people complaining about this since the beginning of the year with BETA verions of ios8, and in the past 48 hours many more, from Ireland, Argentina, South Africa, India......
Luckily for me I am only 3 months away from an upgrade, so if they dont fix it by then I am going to take the leap and jump to Android.
The short term solution - and you need to be quick if you have already upgraded to ios8, is to downgrade to ios7.1.2
This is not officially supported by Apple, but it you google it, it is quite easy, you have to download an ipsw file and then do a restore in itunes, but you will lose everything on the phone, and you cannot back up from a backup made with ios8.
I hope they sort this out, it has driven me mad over the past 2 days.
We need the Toggle between 2G and 3G to be re-instated

why has apple removed the ability to switch 3G on/off?
Downgrading is not supported by Apple...your post has been reported for deletion.

  • Feature to disable touch screen when pen is detected is no longer available in windows 7

    In N-trig drivers  with windows vista there was an option where one could select the option to disable the touch input when pen in near the screen.  That feature is no longer available when I installed new n-trig drivers in win7.
    I use my tablet a lot to take notes. But with dual mode on it detects input where I rest my palm on the screen to write. Every time I have to go and disable touch input completely before I start writing and enable after I finish. 
    I there any way to enable auto mode with Windows 7 n-trig drivers?
    This question was solved.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I talked about this with HP tech support and they don't know anything about it. I don't even know whether they are qualified enough to provide support. They were just blaming the problems on Microsoft and N-Trig. I knew the problem is with the drivers and I wanted them to let N-Trig know that people like us are waiting to the Auto feature. But instead of considering my complaint they hung up on me not once but twice.

  • "some audio data is no longer available"

    How can I resolve this file problem?
    I spent a couple of hours recording a narration as a STAP file that was about 30 minutes long. After the recording (the second action after "Empty File") I added several actions to delete unwanted portions (errors, repeats, etc.). To finalize the project I added a couple of actions (noise gate and limiter).
    Everuthing appeared and played normally... but when I opened the file this morning I noticed that there was no audio in the project... scrolling up revealed that the "Recording" was unchecked... I checked it and got the following error message:
    The action "Recording" has been disabled because some audio data is no longer available. You can replace this action with a similar action.<</div>
    Replace? Does that mean repeating the work entirely?
    Well, the file appears to be 591.8 MB in size... so it should have the audio in it.
    Is there a way to recover the original audio from this file?
    BTW, I should have exported it before closing it up... Unfortunately, not trusting your software is what I used to do with my PCs...
    :o(

    Never found the cause and did not check the package... so I decided to close the question. The event has not repeated itself as I have upgraded several times since.

  • Output is no longer available in the database control file

    Hi All
    in Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1.0) - on suse Linux 9, OEM (10.2.0.1.0); I'm getting when I try to look at RMAN reports that databases reports are "Job output is no longer available in the database control file." - one one database.
    I've searched forum and only found one thread
    (25/9/2007 - Re: rman backups )
    that doesn't have any conclusion to the problem. Has anyone seen this problem before, and do you know if it means there is a problem with the control file?
    Thanks, DW

    Looks like Bug 4659734
    I totally agree with what you say grylew "If you use rman catalogue you shouldn't get this error"; for me, on a Suse 9 Linux server (10.2.0.1.0 db), the error eventually found was ORA-19921 ;
    RMAN-06900: WARNING: unable to generate V$RMAN_STATUS or V$RMAN_OUTPUT row
    RMAN-06901: WARNING: disabling update of the V$RMAN_STATUS and V$RMAN_OUTPUT rows
    ORACLE error from target database:
    ORA-19921: maximum number of 64 rows exceeded
    Which turns out to say it is a bug fixable by only 10.2.0.4.0 patch or 11g. So awaiting 10.2.0.4.0 I guess.
    It all seems to be error assocaited with control file space; and I'f rather keep my control files healthy thanks.
    Besides all this; for me the problem is pretty innocuous; it means OEM mis-reports success of archivelog backups; I can see they're successful in 'job's but not in 'backup reports'.
    Thanks all for help, DW

  • Error : WIS 00001 - Some objects are no longer available in the universe.

    Hi ,
    I have performed some manual actions in OLAP universe i.e move and rename of objects. Object works fine when i drop them in "Result Objects" pane.If the same object i drop in "Query filters" and if i select filter option -'value(s) from list' i get the below error:
    Error - "Some objects are no longer available in the universe. See your Business objects administrator. (WIS-00001)".
    Is it something to do with manual action performed in universe? Please help me ....
    Regards,
    Pallavi

    Hi,
    For the objects which you are getting error, do the following in designer
    1.select the objects -> go to properties ->check for LOV options i.e if it is disabled then you want get those values so click on edit -> it goes to lov query panel -> run the query and check the lov's for the object-> check export with unv-> save the object n unv & Export the unv->then try it in your report creation.

  • Error occured joining the domain. The specified network name is no longer available - Error during joining a machine to a domain

    Hi!
    We have two companies in our building, Company A and Company B. Company A has 50 client computers and one brand new DC (Win 2012 R2 Std). Company B has 5 clients and one established DC (Win 2008 R2 Foundation). 
    I work for Company A and I have the job of connecting all 50 clients to the new DC. Up until last week we had a workgroup set up and it has been my task to migrate our clients onto the domain. I have done 10 migrations of Win 7 machines so far, but three
    others seem to be unable to connect with the error: The specified network name is no longer available.
    I have connected these successfully to Company B Domain Controller successfully so this seems to point towards Company A DC being wrong somewhere, but doesn't make sense as to why 10 other clients have connected fine.
    Here are the troubleshooting steps I have taken so far:
    I am in the Domain Admin group on Company A Active Directory
    Computer Browser Service is running on server and affected client
    Workstation Service is running on server and affected client
    Server Service is running on server and affected client
    To connect to the domain I have tried using the NetBIOS and the FQDN, I get the same error message.
    NETLOGON service is enabled tried restarting - no difference
    Windows Firewall is off
    No AV installed at the moment. I have Sophos waiting to go on once the machine is hooked onto the domain.
    DNS Reverse lookup manually created as it wasn't there
    Tried ipconfig /flushdns /release /renew
    NSLookup sucessful, can ping NETBIOS, FQDN of server and both client and server IP both directions
    Affectted clients are configured with one network card.
    I've been pulling my hair out for a few days on this one. Anyone have a possible solution for this.
    Many thanks,
    Matt

    Hello,
    When i try to login into icloud.com i get the message: "iCloud is not longer available for your AppleID". What is the problem?

    Hi coskun1990,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you're not able to sign in to iCloud.com, these steps may help:
    iCloud: If you can’t sign in to iCloud.com
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2611
    If you have trouble signing in to iCloud.com, try the following:
    When typing your password, make sure the Caps Lock key isn’t on (passwords are case-sensitive).
    Make sure you’re typing the Apple ID email address and password that you used to create your iCloud account. For example, [email protected] or [email protected]
    If you set up your iCloud account to require two-step verification, make sure you correctly enter the latest code sent to your device.
    If you can’t remember your password, or you see a message that your account has been disabled for security reasons (which might happen if someone tried and failed to sign in multiple times), you need to change or reset your password.
    If you're still not able to sign in after trying these steps, you may need to contact iCloud support, as mentioned in this article:
    iCloud: Account troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3988
    I get an "Unsupported Apple ID" error when I try to sign in to iCloud from my iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
    Depending on how you created your Apple ID, you may not be able to create an iCloud account with your current Apple ID. If your Apple ID works in the iTunes Store, App Store, Game Center, FaceTime, or with other Apple Services, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. Also, if you created your Apple ID while you applied for a job at jobs.apple.com, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. If you cannot use your Apple ID with any Apple Services, it might not be compatible with iCloud. Contact iCloud Support for assistance.

    Do you use zoning in your FC switch, and are the settings of the FCports on the FCswitch as described in the reference manual:
    For hosts:
    - I/O streamguard: enabled
    - Device Scan : disabled
    For targets (xraids):
    - I/O streamguard: disabled
    - Device Scan: enabled
    Each client/MDC should be in a seperate zone which include:
    - the host
    - the luns of the xsan volumes it sould see (excluding the MD and journal lun)
    Hope this helps.

  • After update Firefox keeps returning a "Gone The requested resource /administrator/index.php is no longer available" reponse when trying to access joomla login

    After automatic update to 32.2 (then I tried to update to 33.0 beta with no improvement) Firefox keeps returning a "Gone The requested resource /administrator/index.php is no longer available" reponse when trying to access joomla login. The problem is there even when I fill manually the fileds "user" and "password" in the joomla admin login page. The problem appears in different sites on different servers, and do not occurr using Google Chrome. It's clearly a Firefox issue. Could you please give me some ideas on how to solve ?

  • Error msg,please help :) "The item you tried to buy is no longer available"

    Hi there, I am using a Macbook pro with Leopard with the newest version of iTunes. Many, many times when I have tried to purchase the newest episode of LOST, I click 'purchase' and type in my information and click 'yes', and for an instant it says 'purchasing' and shows the striped purchasing par across the top for only an instant, and then that disappears and an error message comes up, saying
    "The item you tried to buy is no longer available.
    The availability of the item changed while you were using the store.
    The same item may be available with a different price or elsewhere
    on the store."
    In past weeks, I have been eventually able to purchase the episode, after trying to purchase and receiving the same error literally hundreds of times. Why do I try hundreds of times? Because I want to see LOST! And I will have to face the wrath of my disappointed housemates if I fail to present the episode in time. But this is very, very, very, very frustrating! Please help, iTunes! Or anyone, any help will be greatly appreciated. But this glitch has been going on literally for weeks/months! I expected it to be ironed out and fixed completely by now, but it is not at all, it is just as bad as it was when I first noticed it shortly after the beginning of LOST season 4, a few months ago.
    Also, when I try to email iTunes, I am sure that I can email iTunes if I finally pick a subject that does not apply, but I do not want to do that.
    It is also very, very, very frustrating, whenever trying to email iTunes, to be forced into picking a subject from a very, very limited menu. Many questions, such as this question, do not fit at all into any of the choices presented, from which a person is forced to choose a subject, before being allowed to type an email to iTunes.
    I look forward to any help anyone can give regarding this error message, so that I will be able to purchase the new LOST episode from iTunes. Thanks for your help!

    I had the same issue this morning downloading a pre-order of Alanis, Flavors of Entanglement . I noticed that the only thing that had changed fro me was that I had some song credits for purchasing ticketmaster tickets over the past few weeks. When I went ahead and spent my remaining credits... it downloaded with no prompting or trouble. Maybe the credits issues hangs it up?
