Hi, I have been struggling with this one for awhile. My phone will download over wifi but when away from wifi cant get anything to download. It used to.

I can surf the web fine. Just no downloading.

In the past toggling the phone into aeroplane mode and restarting helped on one ocassion. Alas no more.

Have checked to ensure no restriction on background data.

Phone company have said signal is not strong enough to download with. But I have in the past. And frankly if I can browse and watch utube dont see why I cant download.

If it helps with suggestions I recently rooted phone. If anything needed be downloaded to help will have to wait till I visit friend with wifi :)

Could be elaborate process to solve. I am willing. :)

Thanks for help.

Hi Thanks for your reply. Problem existed before root. Just mentioned that I had in case there was any tweak possible.
At this stage phone is just rooted. Have yet to decide where to take it. Original intention had been to flash parandroid rom and update to 4.2 (firmware)

Along top of phone H the prevalent icon 3g only pops its head up rarely. Bars are usually all grey as well. Phone does upload tho. :)
