Hello,

Upgraded to 2.3.5 yesterday evening on my HTC Desire HD noticed this morning that my data connection wouldn't work.

Tried powering off/on, no joy...
Tried a restart, no joy...
Tried shutting down removing both battery and sim, no joy...

In the end to resolve I ended up going into

Press the Menu key
Tap Settings
Tap Wireless & networks
Tap Mobile networks
Tap Access Point Names
(This was all empty which it shouldn't be really)
Press the Menu key
Tap New APN

I then pressed backup key and it said must input name so I pressed home key went into same options again and all the settings appeared!

Now working yey :)
 
It's not only O2 - I'm with T-mobile and had the same problem with my Desire HD.

After going to APN settings it showed two access points ('general.t-mobile.uk' and 'goto.virginmobile.uk') but none of them was selected. As soon as I saw it the system automatically enabled the t-mobile one and all is fine again... weird, but all is now working.
