Unhappy [Q] Problem: WIFI vs Mobile data connetion

I have a question regarding internet connections:

When I use WIFI connection, I can use all internet applications; Internet, Gmail, Daily Briefing, ....

When I use Mobile Data connection (GPRS), all Samsung applications says that there is a connection problem. For example; I cannot update the weather on Daily Briefing, etc.
However, all android application (like Internet, Gmail, FB) work without problems.

I thought that this is a problem with stock room, however, currently I am using JP3 and the problem is still here.

Any idea why is this happening?

Seems to me that your internet mobile provider is blocking some ports

check if your APN is set correctly
Home screen -> Menu-> Settings -> Wireless and network -> Mobile network -> Access Point Names

Maybe "internet" is missing?

@freshko:
If I followed Irt01's steps and I have:
Planet internet and a green radio button.

I only used "Samsung Apps" once and it didn't want to work over 3G, when I enabled WiFi it worked flawlessly. I don't use any other Samsung's apps because there are better alternatives on Android Market.

Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 Android OS v4.0.4 (AOSP):
ROM: Slim ICS v4.2
KERNEL: Semaphore ICS v1.3.0s
MODEM: I9000XXJW4

Point Of View Mobii 10.1" Tegra (3G) (Advent Vega clone) Android OS v4.1.2 (AOSP):

DONATE TO ME
1. make sure you have a data plan.
2. make sure your APN is configured properly
3. check that you are able to browse the net
4. try to sync with your gmail account on GPRS/3G
if that works, you should be able to run other applications, unless those ports are black listed by your cell phone provider, like for example FTP, IRC, Skype, MSN and other stuff like that

Donation is appreciated but not required, a cup of Coffee would suffice

Probably they are blocked because as I said. I can browse internet, checking gmail, however, I cannot update weather from Daily Briefing. My data connection notifications goes from H to 3G, than back to H, and then I get: data connection error.
