Default 3G stops working?

Hi,

Does anyone have this problem?

Sometimes 3G is working fine, then for some reason it stops working even if the 3G is still switched on from the settings, but the 3G in the notification bar disappears...

I try to switch it off and switch it back on again... but doesn't seem to work.

I tried even restarting the phone but it doesn't work as well...

Anyone got this problem?

Thanks

Yes I am getting the same thing! It's very annoying, my 3G/HSDPA etc was all working fine and now I have noticed it's not on at all. My setting is also set to ON. When I open up the internet it tells me this setting is turned off when it isn't.

When you say you tried restarting, do you mean you did a factory reset? I was thinking of trying that...

It would help if you said what country and network you're on. I had big issues with this on T-Mobile on the UK and I found out eventually it was the APN settings. Lots of people are posting almost correct information but getting the user and password wrong.

From the T-Mobile website it states
User: user
Password: tm

All I'd suggest is finding the APN settings on their website and making sure they're correct. If they are then maybe contact Vodafone and see what they say.

Default fixed

OK I've fixed it by resetting the APN settings to default.

When I went to the APN settings, the names of the connections had changed, they had a "_off" at the end. The only thing I think may have done this is when the phone goes into 'low power mode' it switches all data off. If I'm right then this is a bug as the phone doesn't change the names back again. Of course it could be something else.
