unable to use 2G GPRS!

          Guys, for the past week i am facing a intermittent connectivity issue in my ray, My GPRS plan is enabled and spoke to the network provider for the settings, but the issue is whenever i turn my gprs on the little arrow mark never comes in the notification bar even if i wait for a couple of minutes nothing happens, so i restarted my phone and GPRS started to work fine and after 15 - 30 minutes the connection drops automatically. Its really a pain because it works only for little time, but not its not conencting anymore. What could be the cause? any suggestions?

Troubleshooting that i have tried?

1. Deleted the APN and manually added new APN by contacting my network provider

2. Restored my phones system settings ( After doing this the internet worked for a day and automatically dropped of, No its not even connecting :smileycry:)

No matter what i do its still the same! Any suggestion will be much appretiated. screenshots below.

Nabeelraza, i use a 2G connection. WCDMA is 3G right?

no its not 3g, it helps to achieve high speeds whetehr it be 3g or 2g

W-CDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), this signal increases speed

do it fast and give me the result

hey

after a long time it breakes, but again recover within moments..... didn't it happen ??

when speed is very low, intensity of the connection decreases , and at some point it may break also ,

your network provider provides you with less speed, thats why you aren't able to connect in gsm mode at all. Though u r able to connect in WCDMA mode, but still ur speed is less, so it breakes,,,
So your device is fine , all settings are fine ..:)...
u were able to get connection for some hours, this means ur settings are ok.. if settings were to be wrong then ur mobile wouldn't have connected even for a second
thanks
