Can't connect to Internet via 3G, only GPRS.

[Towserspvm2000]

Hi all,

I've got a problem and can't get my head around it!
I upgraded to the offical Tmobile (UK) WM6, and whilst I love it (much more stable) I just can not connect to the Web 'n' Walk service via 3G. I have no problems on GPRS, and I have no problems with texting and making calls on 3G. Can anyone offer any help?

I've tried all the operator settings available from this group, but haven't tried a different radio rom yet - I'm still on 1.50.

Another thing I have noticed is that if someone sends me a MMS, I get a pop up box saying I have to close the current connection and then download it. This didn't happen before on WM5. If I go back on the net after downloading a MMS, then I get the "connecting" pop up showing again.

Any help much appreciated!

Regards,
Towser

So let me get the straight you flashed to a wm6.0 rom but you are still using a wm5.0 radio. Try another radio I'm using 1.47.30.10

Hi. Yeah I flashed to WM6 (3.60.110.4), and the radio rom that came with it is 1.50.00.00. It's an offical TMobile UK rom. Will try another radio rom, but not sure if that'll work as 3G works for phone calls and texting, but no surfing.

Cheers

Firstly make sure your settings are ok, use the network wizard i have attached.

Secondly the radio you are using SHOULD be fine however running the tests (in my signature) i found that some radios between 1.40 and 1.54 seem to hinder 3G performance (atleast on my network anyway).

Try 1.47.30.10 and see if that helps?

P.S: your radio version isnt a WM5.0 radio as said above....totally incorrect.

Thanks for the suggestions mrvanx, i'll give the cab file a go. I'm working nights this week, so time is scarce, but i'll give the radio rom a go soon. I spent half the night last night reading up on relatively good roms for TMobile UK, but I left the list I compiled in work! (The other half of the shift involved watching a boxing match between Calzaghe and Hopkins... he he!)

Well I ran the cab file and I found I could surf the web via 3G, but not brilliantly, so I've flashed the radio rom to the one you said and it's a lot better!

Many thanks for your help and the cab file. Much appreiciated!

Had the same issue with several Radio ROMs which I have been toying around with. Sometimes 3G worked intermittently, sometimes not at all.

Now I am back at version 1.47.30.10 and 3G works again and all the time too. And the GSM reception and the battery life with this version is OK too. I suggest you try some Hermes Radio ROMs (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms) too to find out which one works for you.

Oh, and don't forget to enable HSDPA and then reboot via HTweakC 2.1b (http://www.fit4cat.de/dl/HTweakC.zip) or another tool.

Thanks for the tips there - I'm now running Schap's WM6 4.30 rom and the 1.47.30.10 radio rom, and i'm back to sqare 1 with 3G reception at work! Even the GPRS seems slower. So i'll try a few radio roms. Only showing 2 bars in work - normally 3. Few freezes with Schaps rom, so might have a try at some others. It could even be TMobile issues in my area. I've got the HSDPA enabled too.

Thanks for your input.
