what's up everyone John Rhett enger' from TechnoBuffalo here and you are looking at a very crude angle of a iPad 2 on the verizon network or at least it should be on the verizon network from day one with my verizon iPad 2 I have had connection issues I thought this was going to be just unique to my particular iPad 2 there have been many reports coming out this is a widespread problem with Verizon iPad 2 customers I'm gonna go ahead and show you what happens this is not the case if you have an AT&T or if you're outside of the US the GSM version the iPad 2 just the CDMA variety when you turn on the cellular data it doesn't connect you actually have to reboot the device a lot of times in order to get that cellular data to hook up so I'm gonna go ahead and zoom in quite a bit I'll show you the upper left-hand corner so you can see right now we're connected to just Wi-Fi I'm gonna go ahead and turn on the cellular data right now so go ahead and jump it to cellular data now oftentimes the fix trees I thought the fix was going to be we just turn on airplane mode on and off but that did not work unfortunately so go ahead and turn cellular data on and we're nearly you'd see the Verizon logo pop up right there or if this was the 18 t version you'd show it pop up but you'll notice nothing is showing up at all and this is all in real time and I'll show once again that the cellular data is turned on and it's not working boy genius is said they've gotten their hands on an early build of OS 4.3.2 which opposes a fixes this problem which as it stands right now I don't know way to fix is to turn it off so a lot of people have said or what about airplane mode as I mentioned doesn't work let me go ahead at least just show you so airplane mode is now turned on to go ahead and turn airplane mode off and earlier this is where you'd see the Verizon network hook up and you're going to be left with this searching for many many many minutes I've left it for up to 2025 minutes and you still just keep getting that searching searching searching and unfortunately will not find the network here I can leave this on let you guys see I can put the footage at the end but this is going to just keep on searching so if you want to get this to work at least at the most current version of the software which is four point three point two point one or really any version of four point three that came with the iPad 2 the only solution right now you can see it's still searching it most definitely should have found the network by now is to turn off your iPad 2 and I'll do all this for you in real time go ahead and turn off alright so it is powered off let's turn it back on and now I'll be connected to the Verizon network I thought this is something that was just unique to my iPad but evidently there are many users out there I haven't seen a video that's being demonstrating I wanted to share it with you as you guys were deciding which iPad might be right for you Apple is claiming there's a software fix coming I've been very happy with the speeds on the Verizon iPad using the Verizon network however this has been a huge inconvenience something you might want to consider or at least wait to purchase until you know that the software fix does address the issue so it's booting up and there we have it connected to the Verizon network kind of interesting anyway guys i am john r Ettinger from TechnoBuffalo and i'll see you in the next video buh-bye you
