iOS 3.2.1 for iPad Fixes WiFi Issue and Adds Bing

by Simon Ng on July 18, 2010



Other than the update of iOS for iPhone, Apple also released an update for the iPad OS with a version number of 3.2.1. The update contains a number of bug fixes and improvement. Most notably, it fixes the WiFi connectivity issue that was reported by some iPad users.

Other than improving the WiFi connectivity, according to Apple’s release note, the iOS 3.2.1 for iPad also comes with the following bug fixes:

  • Fixed an issue that could prevent copy and paste of single-page PDF attachments in Mail
  • Addressed an issue that could cause video playback to freeze
  • Improved reliability of video-out when using iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter

The update also adds Microsoft’s Bing search engine as a new option. So, you can now switch the default search engine of your mobile Safari from Google to Bing, if you like.

The iOS 3.2.1 is now available via iTunes. But for those using jailbroken iPad, please stay away from iOS 3.2.1. Presently, the Spirit jailbreak tool does not support this iOS version. You’ll lose the jailbreak once you upgrade to the latest version of iOS for your iPad.

Hey ppl,
I updated to 3.2.1 for my iPad and since then it won’t connect to my network when starting up from sleep mode. I have to manually turn off and then turn on the wifi… I didn’t have this issue prior to upgrading. Anyone else having these probs?

I have had the same issue. Waking from sleep mode, wifi connection has to be added back, or wifi settings accessed.

An update: today I realized that if I just leave my iPad on for a few minutes after coming back from sleep mode (i.e. not accessing the wifi settings) it’ll eventually rejoin my network… But I’m talking about waiting several minutes! Weird.
