Hi guys,
Does anyone have any technical idea of why that would be happening? I basically keep getting dropouts of 3G and H signals, even in the middle of the city it struggles to connect. Just disappears, and eventually comes back though I don't change position…
The phone is GSM 850/900/1800/1900 and I'm on the optus network. Is it a software/hardware thing, or just not compatible with the network?
Thanks :)
There shouldn't be any problems with frequencies according to:

Did you buy it outright? If you bought it outright then it's probably worth making sure you update it to the newest software using the updater here:

If you KNOW that you have 3G in the area where you are but the phone isn't connecting you can do the following:
Open the dialer (the stock one)
Type: * # * # 4636 # * # *
Go to phone information
Scroll down and you should see something like "WCDMA Preffered"
Open this menu and choose WCDMA only. The phone will then only connect to 3G networks. The downside is obviously if there is no 3G you have no coverage even if there is a 2G network available. You can always change it back.
