Hi all,

I've got a T-Mobile Vario II, and basically the 2G and 3G data connection had been working great on it.

However, since about a week or two ago, I cannot get any 3G data connection. It would connect to the T-Mobile Internet service, but it won't actually load any webpage - it just keeps saying "Locating", as if the DNS is down or something.

But if I go to a non-3G-covered area, the 2G data connection works great.

T-Mobile don't think there is a problem at their end.

Any idea/advice please?

Thanks.

Had the same problem with mine, phone up t-mobile tech support and ask them to enable HSPDA on your account, they will tell you it will make no difference but get them to do it anyway, it worked for me and download speeds are 3 times faster than 3G

Also double check they have really enabled it using DSL Reports

you should expect 500+kb/s

There have been a couple of reports of them saying they will enable it but not really doing it!
