I seem to have lost my 3G connection on my Samsung Galaxy S. I'm on T-Mobile and until now it's been ifne , although when using my phone at home I've used the WiFi connection.

All well and good although only being able to use it in a WiFi enabled area sort of defeats the point of mobile internet! Any ideas why this may have happened or how I can get my 3G back?

The network is down. Otherwise, check your settings incase of loss/corruption.

I've had no 3G all day either.
I suppose I should be grateful that I still have a 2G signal so at least I can still call and text.

Not me then, makes a change!

Just to be sure, it's still off, are other people's? Plus does anyone know when it's due to come back on?

I seem to have found a solution!

1. Switch phone off
2. Take battery out
3. Put battery back
4. Switch phone on

And lo and behold, 3G!

I've recently bought a virtually brand new Toshiba TG01 from someone. It was originally locked to Orange but I've now had it unlocked and can connect to the net via WiFi with my Vodafone SIM. However, I can't via 3G and am led to believe that I need to remove the Ornage settings that were originally installed on the phone. Anyone know how to do this please?
Thanks

Goodness me, you hadn't even tried that before posting here?!

It's the first rule of IT, turn it off and on again because it fixes most problems, have you never called a support desk or watched the IT crowd. It's a joke there because it's so true.

Unfortunately I have an iPhone and am not able to do the above!
Still no 3G here either.

You can do a hard reset though which is the equivalent, http://www.wikihow.com/Hard-Reset-an-iPhone

You don't lose your data, it just resets everything just as if you took the battery out and put it back in.
