got ipad friday noon, did people do, unboxed, synced, charged , activated verizon prepaid lte. signals @ home ok, not or bad, ok, getting advertised 5-12mbps download speeds.
went different part of city dinner time, inside 1930's brick building, sat beside window, got signals. got great speeds! around 20mbps down/15mbps up. after 3-4 hours, notice verizon lte signals going on , off, thinking, maybe it's bad inside building turned lte off, used verizon 3g. of sudden, keeps on searching , searching , searching signal. at&t iphone4s had full bars, , friend's verizon iphone4s had full bars too. then, every 3-5 mins when can't find signal, ipad reboot itself.
so, tried reset network settings of ipad, reprovision verizon service, , ipad restarted, still didn't work. tried re-seat sim card, same thing. decided up, restored it, worked perfectly... 2-3 hours.
ended doing same thing on last paragraph , after 2nd restore, worked perfectly... again 2-3 hours. tried restore it, again 3rd time, now, gave me error , won't restore , stays in recovery mode every restart. repeated restoring no avail.
it's pissing me off 1st-ever ipad has defect, made appointment @ apple store @ 230pm afternoon after using overnight documents need next morning.
got few hours sleep, woke , went apple store. of course store crowded new ipad buyers , there specialists stationed in front screen tried in store. of course got in without hitch told them had genius bar appointment. so, spoke genius guy , explained him happening. finished explaining, told me, he'll replace ipad , wait him standing.
after 45 mins, came out ipad replacement still original box plastic wrap. explained me, why took him while me 1 needed @ least troubleshoot problem, , did tell me wasn't able restore ipad @ secured replacement me. 1 thing needed log , report problem corporate , engineering newly launched product , need gather first-model issues can gather can fix issues.
ended inserting current sim card , logged in verizon activated prepaid account, working perfectly. thinking, when had 1st 1 i'll wait few more hours , see if it'll replicate problem had.
, now, after 32 hours, ipad working perfectly... well, besides usual complaint i'm reading here, longer charging, hot in lower-left side, etc, etc. after 2 days of having ipad, think made right decision in waiting 3rd-gen ipad. , besides, would've thought 1st-time ipad buyer, i've had 2 ipads in less 48 hours. lol
ok, lte problems coming back. when ipad goes 3g, either have to:
a) turn cell data off, on. if still doesn't work...
b) turn airplane mode on, off. if still doesn't work...
c) reboot ipad... if worse comes ro worst...
d) reset network settings
got bad week @ least once or 2x day, have reset network settings sucks because have input wifi passwords again , again.
went verizon , have them change sim card per recommendation their twitter support representative. changed sim , reprovisioned account, now, i'm on 3g. no matter rebooting or resetting do. there lte signal on lte ipad display @ verizon store know it's ipad's lte radio.
made appointment today have apple check out, we'll see happens when there. same issues?
