    Default Internet won't work sometimes


    Alright, This happens often when the phones uptime is more than 24hours and after I reset the phone the internet will work. The problem is that when I'm in school/class or anywhere else I will have full 5 bars with 3G internet, but when I click on browser, nothing will happen, it will give me that webpage not avabile message. the 3G activity bars will only blink on the up arrow which means uploading, but the sites never load unless I reboot the phone... why is this?


    damn and today is my last day of buyers remorse and it's already 7, t mobile stores are closing up now.

    I have the same problem with my phone. what i notice is that the 3G sym dont show up on my phone but i have full bars. I do the same thing you do by rebooting my phone then everything is fine. I dont know what it is but im not going to give back my phone for it, I love this phone a lot and Ill deal with it.

    I called T-Mobile today and had them enter a trouble ticket for the android specialists to investigate and see why it is happening. I also told them it is happening to other people nationwide on EDGE and 3G, so it is being investigated, but if you want to help the cause, call T-Mobile, tell them that and have them open a ticket.

    i called today and told em the same thing. the rep told me you have to clear your history, cache, and delete your cookies. oh yea and reboot your phone everyday. thats kinda annoying, we shouldnt have to do all this everyday just to use the web. i mean it worked for me, but its not something i wanna do all the time.

    I've been having the same problem...only when I'm trying to impress people or get on the fly directions, of course! Oh yeah, has anyone mentioned yet this affects Google Maps too?

    Hopefully this is just a software issue...

    I have experienced this issue as well. I am with BV-23, I am not willing to send my phone back because of it. It is annoying though, so I hope that it is a software issue and that it can be patched.
