im always in a 3g area well according to other phone ive used and the iphone sitting beside me is on 3g

When you go into settings > wireless and networks > mobile network settings > Network Operators>
This is what my Network list is like:

3(3G)(H)
3(2G)(0)
IRL - METEOR (2G)(F)
3(3G)(0)
IRL - METEOR (3G)(F) - Select this Network
02 - IRL (3G)(F)
02 - IRL (2G)(F)

You then select the Meteor 3G network and the phone should then register on it.

I get those too, and 3G reception is woeful wherever I seem to be so I just keep it off all the time.
Live in Celbridge but even when I go into Dublin on the bus I turn it on the odd time to see if I can get any 3G action, but almost never!
Does everyone have this problem? Why am I paying for 1GB a month if there's no fuggin reception?!

that's kind of weird, the 2 meteor's probably are Meteor 2G and Vodafone 2G showing as Meteor. 3 must be 3 3G and o2 is just showing up as only 1 network.

My phone's probably flashed different to yours as your on meteor so I don't have a disable 3G option, on your phone when you go into mobile networks there should be an option to allow 3G networks.
If it's not there, i'd be inclined to think the phone just won't pick up the meteor 3G network. But it's picking up 3 3G so the phone can pick up 3G networks, it's just not finding a meteor one near you.

[QUOTEwhen you go into mobile networks there should be an option to allow 3G networks][/QUOTE]

no there aint that!! on there

My phone's probably flashed different to yours

where can i get the firmware to reflash it as this might be a problem and also i get e "the process.com andriod.phone has stopped working try again later" (force shutdown) does that have anything to do with it?

[drunkmonkey]

You can't flash your phone like mine there set up for 2 different networks, if you have it under a month take it back to the store for a new one as there's something clearly wrong with it, are you 100% sure you have Meteor 3G coverage?
It's also possible they have the meteor 3G network down for work today.

Has the phone every picked up Meteor 3G where you are now?

[moggser]

well i picked it up off the adverts.ie and it was not used just opened and that by other owner and i saw as much when i picked it up off him there was no evidence of use

no its not picked up the 3g signal at all where ever i am this is why i asked do i need carrier settings as the iphone i also use beside me heere has 3g working as i look at it now

[moggser]

i just lashed a 02 sim in there and then a Edge symbol popped up on tehre where the 3g icon is supposed to be and also it lloks like its downloading stuff data packets and there is another thing i cant find settings to let me adjust the data stuff like

[reb73]

Have you checked your APN settings? Getting a 3G connection is dependent on your APN settings (Internet/MMS) being correct.

[moggser]

on the phone with meteor now to get the settings sent to me at present there is no apn settings on it?

[ProjectMoose]

My Galaxy S doesn't show a 3G symbol while i'm on 3G with data turned off.
If I have data on and I'm on 3G it'll show 3G or H with some arrows - whichever is available.

Turn data on, and see does a 3G/H symbol appear. Then you know you're on 3G?

Edit: Samsung config site (sent to your phone): linky

[moggser]

they wont send them by text the fuggers any one got them so i can input them

cant do it while im on the phone talking to them lol


ok i got the settings on it and working well the 3g icon is there along with the h one too

now i see ya said ya can turn the data off !! ok how is this done cause wheni see it in the apn section it gives y a a littel green circle sayin thats its active but it cant be turned off
