[iPhone 5] Downgrading iOS 6.0.2 to 6.0.1

I have the iPhone 5 A1429 model GSM. So after finding out that the iOS 6.0.2 update was available I tried it out to see if there were improvements in the WiFi connection despite reports that the battery life was even worse after updating. I went with the update knowing that you can still downgrade (according to my friend).  Within a day, I decided that the update wasn't for me and it was draining my battery faster than ever. So I went ahead with the whole downgrade. Now this is when the problem arose. I googled for the iPhone 5 iOS 6.0.1...

iPhone5 issues with WPA2/AES Wifi

I am using a Dual- Band Linksys E2500 router with WPA2 Personal (WPA2/AES) enabled. None of my other apple products (iPhone4S, iPhone4, iPad2 and the New iPad) have had problems connecting to my router. But everything changed when I got my iPhone5. Basically the iPhone5 is capable to connect to the WPA2-Personal wifi network but after 1-2min starts to drop network packages, hence, I cannot browse any page (not even the router page 192.168.1.1) even though I still have a valid IP and the wifi icon is shown on my top screen. I pinged the...

Will 12v dock w/lightning adapter charge iP5?

If I purchase something called a Scosche Passport or a generic 12v to 5v adapter that should fix the problem. However, I just purchased an iPhone 5 and was wondering if I still need a 12v to 5v adapter in addition to a new 30pin to lightning adapter.

Iphone 5: Signal drops, apps crashing, call drops and poor battery life.

This obviously causes the call drops too which is annoying after paying such a high price for a phone.
