iOS 6.0.1 Released with Bug Fixes for iPhone Wi-Fi Problems, “No Service” Issue, etc
iOS 6.0.1 has been released, the software update includes several significant bug fixes for all iOS users, particularly those with iPhones. Curiously, those with iPhone 5 must first download a patch that allows OTA updates to work, prior to being able to download and install iOS 6.0.1.
The 6.0.1 update appears to address several prominent bugs, including an apparent resolution to the iPhone-specific “No Service” after signal loss and regain problem that impacts a fairly large number of users who are in areas with spotty cellular reception, a fix aimed at the iPhone 5 Wi-Fi speed issue, and a resolution to the peculiar keyboard glitch. The full list of bug fixes is shown below.
The iOS 6.0.1 software update can be downloaded through iTunes or Over-the-Air Update on the device itself by tapping on Settings > General > Software Update. Direct download links for iOS 6.0.1 IPSW firmware are also be available for those who wish to go the manual route.
iOS 6.0.1 Changelog:
- Fixes a bug that prevents iPhone 5 from installing software updates wirelessly over the air
- Fixes a bug where horizontal lines may be displayed across the keyboard
- Fixes an issue that could cause camera flash to not go off
- Improves reliability of iPhone 5 and iPod touch (5th generation) when connected to encrypted WPA2 Wi-Fi networks
- Resolves an issue that prevents iPhone from using the cellular network in some instances
- Consolidated the Use Cellular Data switch for iTunes Match
- Fixes a Passcode Lock bug which sometimes allowed access to Passbook pass details from lock screen
- Fixes a bug affecting Exchange meetings

Wifi ok but cellular service very very very bad..always have drop calls.. Ios 6.0.1 is no good
ios 6.0.1 has stopped me from being able to connect to the App Store or iTunes, but everything else requiring wifi works fine…. Have tried all the above solutions to no avail. Apple better get this fixed soon
I had horrendous problems with wi-fi with 6, and now even WORSE issues with6.1!!!
Apple….this is unacceptable!!!
New ios 6.0.1 Update won’t let me connect to wifi so I reset my network settings now I can’t get internet at ALL! HELP
i lost connections. wifi is working though.
i tried to contact apple and they ignored my emails.
im not reallly happy at all.
if you did not test the 6.0.1 why did you publish it from the first place? really a shamed of what im running through at the moment.
i cannot answer phone calls. people are just emailing instead.
thats really rubbish!
After I installed update , I have no signal whats the fix?
I lost my wifi connection and it won’t locate any wifi ! Please help !
after updated I was unable to restore my phone from backup. so I lost all my data. Pics, msgs. so frustrated.
any advice?
6.0.1 has broke my wifi connection, first page loads fine, subsequent pages hand and return server error, now phone freezes when sending pictures i n messages, this update is awful, do not install. Is there a fix being sent out
Will this update correct older model ‘no service’ issues as well?
I have been having a problem sending videos in messages to other phones. The quality is perfect on my phone but when the next phone receives it, the video is poor quality as well as the audio. Has anyone experienced the same problem or know a fix?
I lose coverage on the phone after oppdaternig to iOS 6.0.1, do not come in contact with my mobile operator, and must wait a long time before I can call or send SMS! The signal is completely gone …
What about App Store and Podcasts updates? Me thinks iOS 6 was the buggiest major release to-date. Me thinks Apple may be too deep in the weeds now and loosing it. Is iOS in a state similar to where Symbian was three years ago before it was unceremoniously killed?
Wifi and cell data is more reliable!
Did your wifi get crappy after your I0S.6 update? Mine went to poot and stopped connecting at work and home and and anywhere but the fricken Apple Store so they couldn’t help me….it would just think and think with the little circle but never connect. Scared to do another update in case it gets worse but REALLY want my WIFI to be stronger and actually work…
The iOS 6.0.1 update specifically addresses wi-fi problems, it has helped me.

Had no problems with 6.0, but now with 6.0.1, my ability to use wifi comes and goes. My Wi-Fi Toggle is greyed ourt most of today. when i can get it toggle on (after many restarts and soft reboots), I get a ‘cannot scan for wifi’ message. The wifi is working as other systems are using it. Iphone 4s
My iPads wifi still doesn’t work. It won’t allow me to use the iTunes Store and many other apps requiring wifi
Still cant delete songs/albums/artist properly or at all really using iMatch. Rubishness.
Why are you complaining that a third-party app doesn’t work? Don’t blaim Apple for it!
Wi-Fi seems better again even without custom DNS. Good update.
I just did the upload. Experienced a malfunction – it’s stuck and iTunes is asking to restore to default – will lose ALL media – photos I’m most concerned about. HELP … any Ideas before I restore?
As long as you regularly backed up you won’t lose anything. Always a good idea to backup manually before an update though.
Waiting for jailbreak
Great info mate!
I’m at work so I can’t test the Cellular Service fix, but I am excited to no longer toggle Airplane Mode if it works as advertised! I will know later on my drive home, always lose coverage and it has never regained on it’s own.
