Blackrained and now internet wont work

[rtc872]

I searched but found nothing relevent to just lack of internet.

I have unlocked my phone for use while I am here in Australia and I can call and message well enough but the internet will work for a second and then nothing for hours and then work for a second. I even did a download test while it was working at first and got great speeds.

My reception is full 3g and I have received many texts today and calls just cant connect to the internet with safari or connect to my imap mail.

I have a 3gs that needs to be tethered to boot.

Any advice greatly appreciated. It is frustrating to be reduced to using this awesome phone to that of phones i had 5 years ago.

I need email access for work purposes.

Thanks in advance

What happens if you uninstall blacksn0w? Does your 3G start to work again?

If I uninstall blackrain I wont beable to get reception because it is locked to a japanese carrier.

It worked fine in Japan with blackrain and unlocked and it worked really well when I first arrived in australia but since being in new south wales it will only gives me breif tastes of internet.

I will try restoring it to factory and then re blackraining but i am starting to think that there is some setting that I need to change or something so that it will work with vodafone

thanks for your reply

Try restetting your network settings.

Reset network settings and if I don't use 3g everything works fine. Is there some settings that I need for 3g to work?

You set the APN?

 

[rtc872]

That might be the problem. How do you do that?

Best way is to call up your carrier and ask for complete APN settings. They might also be available on a website.

Assuming from your post in another thread that it's Telestra:

Go to Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data Network

and enter the following under Cellular Data:

APN: telstra.internet
