Your 3g isn't working because after you update the phone forgets your apn. The same problem happened to me. There are two ways to fix it.
Either:
1: Look up your operator's apn and go into your settings and fix it manually.
2: Download this app called Tweakker. It fixes it for you really quickly in simple steps. Here is the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...esult#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS50d2Vha2tlciJd:):tomato:

This firmware: HUAWEI_U8650_Android_2.3_V100R001C151B863SP02_India_Trench

Is not good for the USA ATT Fusion u8652, although similar to to u8650, this firmware lacks the proper GSM operating frequencies to connect to the ATT GSM 3G network. Everything else works, but no 3G. APN and preferred networks are set properly.

I did not make a backup of my original AT&T setup via Clockworkmod (my fault). If anyone could share a stock ATT Fusion back up I would greatly appreciate the help.

Hey guys, thanks for the update, working on an Australian Huawei U8650 even if the Serial's not the same, it's pretty cool to go on a stock Android 2.3.5 with that phone.
Anybody knows if there would be a way to root this one ?

I was able to root my Australian huawei with one of the method on this forum but now with this update i'm back unrooted again and I miss my root Apps (But I don't want to go back to 2.3.3 again..) ?

Also I was not able to restore my backed up my Notes ( cause now it's Richpad and not Notepad or something), anybody got the 2.3.3 notes.apk or something ?
