3G Stopped Working !?

KUFan08 · Thread Author #1 11-04-2010, 08:22 AM

I have Bold 9700 on TMO network, about 48 hours ago my 3G service stopped working.. It's still shows I'm connected to 3G but nothing works.. no browser, no weather, no sports scores ! When I'm on wireless or Edge it works just fine. I called TMO twice and they are not aware of any problems. I have set my phone to only connect to 2G for now till I figure this out. What went wrong ? Is this common ? No I didn't try updating my OS. Yes I've had the phone for about 70 days and it's worked fine till a few days ago. I posted this problem on the 9700 board but nobody had an answer..

Thanks !!

If you go to a different location does 3G work?

Have you asked them to investigate in to your areas towers to see if they are doing work to your 3G tower?

I feel like it is a 3G tower then.
Call again. If you can get voice calls over 3G then you shouldn't have a problem with data unless a tower is dead.

Yes asked TMO and they will take 72 hours to check into tower problems, but they currently are not aware of any.. I am considering driving to different 3G area to see if it works, hate making a 40 minute drive one way if I can avoid it. Any other ideas before I try that ?

YOUR 3G TOWERS ARE 40 MINUTES AWAY FROM EACH OTHER!?

Thats pretty far. lol. I think Sprint is 20 minutes of less. haha.
