The Infuse is a 4G phone, not a 3G phone, but will work on 3G networks obviously.

You need to call AT&T and have them check your data plan. If they did not put the correct data code on your line when you got the Infuse, your data will not work. (Happened to me.) Once they fix that you should be good to go.

Try going into settings / wireless and network / Mobile Networks. Make sure "use packet data" is checked off.

It does go to 3g?? Havent seen that.. When im in an elevator or other low reception areas my infuse will go from hspa to E - edge... Which if i remember right is nowhere near 3g...

Just checked settings based on ur post... Its checked on... Never had a problem with data... But im in a high traffic cell area my hspa has always been available... Why should it be off???

I think it is supposed to be checked on, allowing data.

i'm having the same trouble. i bought an unlocked Infuse in the states and i'm using it in canada on Fido (service provider).

whats weird is the plan doesn't work with any app installed on the phone. even basic ones such as youtube and firefox. they all claim i have no internet connection even with my Data plan activated and Wifi disabled. i can't receive pictures or video messages either.
BUT the default android web browser DOES work on the data plan, albeit incredibly slowly. eg it takes updwards of 2 minutes to load google maps, if at all. it's very weird.

i have Use Packet Data checked off.

i tried downloading APN manager and filling in the fields with the data info provided to me by Fido, but still no success. Fido doesn't know how to help me and i've called Samsung, they are no help either. All Fido could do was provide me the following info regarding their data plan:

APN: WAP.fido.ca
RenderIP: 205.151.011.011
WAP Homepage: hxxp://fido.mobile.ca
username: Fido
p.w. fido

(its not actually hxxp written in the phone, just cant write it out fully of this message wont post)

also, within the APN dialogue boxes, under MCC the number 302 shows up, and under MNC i see the number 370.



please somebody help! neither my service provider nor phone manufacturer know how to fix this!!

Read the above posts... Cool ryan says should have it checked on...

Yea checked on, and I have not heard of Fido, but i am guessing it is not related to Rogers. They probably use different bands, so the infuse is not compatible with their 3g bands, making a slow data connection.

what about pay as you go plan ??

I did pay as you go plan for 50 dallers include all the data and 25 dallers for the internet service and they said i can not use the 3g service with this phone

Yea it is not just because they run on different frequencies.

ah by checked off i mean its green/enabled. sorry for the unclear language.

also, do you know of any solutions for the same problem that can be applied for Rogers users? i ask because Fido is a branch of Rogers. their 3g service should be the same.
