IPad 3G keeps dropping connection to Sprint Overdrive 3G/4G Wifi Hotspot

In my House, I use Sprint overdrive 3G/4G. My computers connect to this hotspot using WiFi. This is the device I have - http://mobilebusiness.sprint.com/broadband/index.html?pid=4&id9=vanity:overdrive ?id9=SEMGoogle_P_Sprint_MobileBroadband
When I connect to my Sprint Overdrive 3G/4G over WiFi - iPad drops the connection and says subscribe to AF&T Cellular Plan.
Even though my i have 3G in my iPAD, I have kept that only when I travel to a different city. It is frustrating to see iPad connects to Sprint Overdrive 3G/4G - but after 2 minutes drops the connection. My other 2 laptops have no problems - it is only iPad 16G 3G that I have - cannot connect to it.
Pls let me know - how this can be resolved...
Thanks
Trip

I tried the Sprint Overdrive service. Failed. Despite trying all of the fixes mentioned here and other places, I had no luck at with the device, and I live near the heart of Dallas--which the Sprint map shows to be saturated in 4G. I drove around a few hours with it, nada. I barely broke 1 Meg during the 5 hours I owned the device.
5 hours later I returned it to the Sprint store, as they offered a no questions asked 30 day trial. Which they should, since this store had no Internet or wifi or 3G connectivity, handy that, considering how badly the device performed. I was then told that I could not have the $162.00 I pad for the device credited to my credit card, which is where they got it from earlier in the day...how handy, they get to use my money for 10-14 days. I was also told that since I had cancelled the same day, that there would be no monthly bill...well this past Friday I got a bill for $44.00. I took it to the store today to see what was up, they called a Sprint rep, and he told me not to worry about it. Yeah, sure, like I am going to listen to them. The next thing I know I would likely have a late payment on my credit. I figured the only safe way out was to insist that they accept my $44.00, and I will let them credit me for it, if I am so lucky. What I expect is yet another bill that I should be getting. Sheesh.

  • Hi, my iPad 2 keeps dropping out and going back to blank screen, I then have to enter my password again, start downloading or reading and it happens again. I have reset the iPad but it is still the same.

    Hi, my iPad 2 keeps dropping out and going back to a blank screen. I have to again enter my password and go back to what I was doing and then it happens again, I have tried resetting and nothing has changed.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Ipad(1) keeps dropping

    Ipad (1) keeps dropping out and returning to the front screen. Any ideas?

    Yes, hold it tighter so that you don't drop it! 
    Seriously, this may well be the crashing problem that some others have experienced.  I have not had the problem myself so my suggestions should be taken with a grain of salt.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Why does my ipad 2 keep dropping the connection to my BT Home Hub, whilst streaming video, since upgrading to IOS 6?

    Ever since i have upgraded to IOS6 My connection to my BT Hub 3 wifi router keeps dropping out whenever i am streaming video. I have an Apple TV connected as well which is fine as are other devices, its just the Ipad since the move to IOS6. It is really frustrating and i had hoped the 6.01 release would have resolved it, but it didnt. I have seen other similar comments, i just want to know if this is a common known fault which Apple are going to fix.
    The strength of Apple has always been 'it just works' , i can't help but feel that there are cracks appearing in this.

  • Ipad 2 keeps dropping my wifi connection

    I just got an iPad 2.  It keeps dropping my wifi connection.  I updated the software to the most recent available: 6.0.1.  I've tried to reset my network connections.  I rebooted my router.  I've restarted my iPad.  I am still having the same issue.  I can connect to the wireless router with my Samsung Galaxy s3, my wife can also connect without any issues with her Samsung Galaxy S3.  My son was able to connect with his Kindle Fire.  But, the iPad 2 is the only one having a problem.  Any suggestions?

  • My ipad 3 keeps dropping the wifi connection when my android tablet, android phone, and laptop have never had any issues.

    I just got a verizon ipad and am having wifi connection problems.  It will connect to my wifi but every 5 or 10 minutes it will drop the connection.  The only way to get it back is to go and manually connect to it again in the wifi settings.
    Is anyone else having this problem?  My android tablet and phone and laptop do not have this problem.

    It appears hundreds are having this problem.  You must not have done a search for this subject before posting.  Try a search for "wifi connection problem on iPad 3" and you'll get lots of information regarding this problem and a few suggestions you can try.

  • IPad 3 keeps dropping wifi signal

    Despite having a very strong wifi signal around the house, which my iPad 2 has a strong connection to, my new iPad keeps dropping the wifi signal every minute or two, making using the Internet nearly impossible. To regain connection I just have to go on the wifi settings page (not even turning the wifi on and off) which then gives me the signal again. Ive tried resetting network settings, but nothing works. Please help; this is a real problem and means I can't use my iPad properly.

  • Wi-fi keeps dropping connection

    Hi
    I have an iMac, bought 2 weeks ago, and my wi-fi keeps dropping it's connection to the router - I have heard and read about a Lion issue with poor wi-fi quality, but all my software is up to date patch-wise.
    I have changed my channels (I have tried 1,6 and 11) on my router in case of interference - and it makes a difference to the speed of the connection, but it is still happening.
    Makes no difference as to whether I am online watching streaming video, or if the iMac is not touched for a while, it still happens, and appears to be completely random - for instance, yesterday, I watched a football game, and in the first half it didn't happen at all, and it happened 5 times in the 2nd half. The router is fine, it's just simply the iMac dropping it's connection to the wireless router itself.
    It also makes no difference what app I am using - but when I try to reconnect, it either doesn't display my router name in there at all, or when it tries to connect, it states "a timeout has occured" - however, if i switch off the iMac at the back (quick standby), then switch if back on again, it sees it, connects and no problem - then stays connected for a random period of time until it disconnects again
    I have another (spare) router upstairs, and my iMac is exactly the same with that!
    And also my MacBook Pro, Apple TV, iPad, iPhone, PS3, wife's PC, daughters laptop all have no problem connecting to my main router and staying connected.
    So now, I'm beginning to think it's hardware...
    Anyone offer any other suggestions?

    It's  possible your router may need a firmware upgrade or if it's an older router upgrading to 802.11N would help. I know your other devices work OK but first check the router, check for firmware updates and update if needed. If you still have a problem borrow a newer router from a friend and test it, if everything works OK that points the finger at your old router.
    Finally you do have 90 days of Free AppleCare, you should call Apple and ask for help. The number is in your manual. BTW AppleCare is open M-Saturday during business hours. 

  • Time Capsule Keeps Dropping Connection

    Hi, I've had trouble keeping connectivity with the Time Capsule.  This is relatively recent.  Everything was fine for over a year.  Now it will drop connection in the middle of an internet search and look for available connections.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Have you reset the TC to factory and redone the setup? This is a major fix for a lot of issues. Simple fact is the TC needs a boot in the pants every now and then.
    I have unplug the power cord & plug it back in.
    That is not a factory reset..
    This is a factory reset.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
    How is the TC setup in the network?
    not sure what you mean by this, followed the prompts when i set it up.
    Open the airport utility when the TC is working.. click on the TC and take a screenshot of the summary info.
    Then click edit and go to the network tab.. take a screenshot of that to and post it.
    What is the link speed between the computer and the TC??
    Please run the wireless diagnostics and then the utility which is part of the diagnostics and tell us or post that as well.
