Hi,

Pulling my hair out and not much left.
The past few days I have not been able to get the Internet, nor my Gmail mail. I have researched these forum pages but havn't been able to resolve the problem.

Here are some details (pertinent or not)


First, I have inserted the sim (3 Network) on another Three phone and I can get the Internet, so I am guessing it is the phone.

In Wireless & Networks, APN. it says 3 three.co.ukapndroid followed with a green spot in a circle

About Phone Details. Under Mobile Network Type is says "UMTS"
Service State says "In Service"
Mobile Network State "Disconnected"

If I press my email Icon I get the following message........"Setup could not finish - Application not available - Enable the data connection"

If I press the Google Mail Icon, I get the message "No Connection"

In Accounts & Sync Settings. Google mail says "sync error" "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly" (But, of course, it does not!)

When I turn the phone on, I get a warning triangle in top left hand corner, saying "sign-in erro for (my address)@gmail.com" When I tap onto that, I get the Google sign in page requesting password and when I type the p/w in I get the message "There was a network error while trying to sign in to your email account - try again"

The only other info I can offer is that this a almost a new sim card which I have had for about 4 days. The first 2, everything worked. Could it be possible for Three to block the phone itself from receiving Data?

I am completely lost so will welcome so much any help you can offer me.

Thanks a lot
Ian
 
Well - I found the problem and post it here as it may answer someone else's query.

I have the popular APNdroid App which you can switch on and off - green for on and red for off. Mine was set for green so that I can receive data so ignored that path. However, I just thought I would press the green icon to see what happens.............................it clicked, but Stayed on Green!! However, it also brought up my data connection. Pressed it again and went to red as it should have done.

So, it must have been a bug with the APNdroid App that caused the problem.


Anyway, the first thing I shall Google on my phone now I have the Internet is a hair replacement clinic:)

1. is your card 3G?
2. press/hold power button and check that Mobile network, connect to internet is on. You should also see the 2G/3G/HSDPA symbol in the notification bar, if your wifi is off.

Both issues with me, at first!
