3G problem after updating to 2.1

My 3G has stopped working after upgrading my X10 mini from 1.6 to 2.1.

Any suggestions?

You have got HSDPA which is advanced 3G. This network is notified as H instead of 3G on the phone.

High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) is an enhanced 3G (third generation) mobile telephony communications protocol in the High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) family, also dubbed 3.5G, 3G+ or turbo 3G, which allows networks based on Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) to have higher data transfer speeds and capacity. Current HSDPA deployments support down-link speeds of 1.8, 3.6, 7.2 and 14.0 Mbit/s. Further speed increases are available with HSPA+, which provides speeds of up to 42 Mbit/s downlink and 84 Mbit/s with Release 9 of the 3GPP standards.

That's weird. Since you can't enable or disable the 3G on this phone, I recommend you to try using the repair function in your PC Companion to reinstall the software of your phone. If that doesn't work, you would need to have that phone checked by a qualified technician in your local area.

Are you from INDIA and using BSNL?

Do you find a H symbol instead of 3G?

Not applicable

I am in Europe.

Yes I get an H symbol. And I just noticed that I can receive MMS.

Is that a good or a bad thing?

Not applicable

That's not bad at all... The H represents High speed Internet or HSDPA which is like 3G or faster. You should try downloading something to test the speed of your phone's internet. If you can send and receive MMS is normal but keep in mind that your service provider my charge you extra for the MMS. For further information on this, please contact your operator.

Whereas I could use my internet browser on 3G when using 1.6, now it only works if I'm connected to a wifi connection. Any idea of how I anable browsing using 3G?

Please go to Menu > settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Network > Select GSM/WCDMA preferred. Also, you could try contacting your operator to see if the 3G feature is still activated for your service.

If none of the above works, you need to try repairing the software of the phone by going to the PC Companion and selecting repair the phone.
