hey guys!

I just got the ICS this Sunday, everything's perfect, everything's smoot but when I try to connect to the internet trough mobile networking it doesn't connect, it doesn't do anything no matter what I do!

Things I already tried:
- reconfiguring the APN's manually from the Vodafone website
- adding a new APN manually
- reset to factory settings

I have no clues. Any help would me much appreciated. Thanks
 
I have had that same problem off and on since the update. My only solution has been to restart the phone.

WiFi has also been a problem - every time the phone went to "sleep", wifi disconnected, and then wouldn't connect again when I tried to use it. I fixed this by keeping WiFi on during idle, but this just destroys the battery.

I have written to HTC about it, and they have escalated the issue, so I hope it will be fixed soon, because this is pretty major.

On another note, I just got an additional update a few minutes ago, about 20mb, just called "settings". It'll be interesting to find out what that is about.

hey, I got the same "settings" update, installed it but nothing happened. I think it was a fix for something else... I still can't connect trough 3g or gsm to the internet, even if i restart the phone :( ...it worked perfectly before ICS, so i don't think it has anything to do with the APN or my network provider. Thanks for answering anyway, we'll keep each other up to date with any news. Cheers

Reset your APN to connect via mobile internet. Check them under settings/wireless and network/mobile networks/access point names....if your carrier is listed click on it and check settings, if not you will need to conatcat yor net work for settings OR if you have a spare sim for another carrier, put that in wait for texts to say they send you settings, install them, remove old sim, put new one back in then you will recieve settings via text again, install them then got to apn and select your current carrier in list.
