    4 days and I haven't even seen the 3G symbol

    Nope, it is pretty much the same. Infact I might have paid a little more in Singapore. I bought it because I was on vacation for a couple weeks in Singapore and I couldn't wait until I got back to India to own this beauty.I don't know about the USA though. Oh wait, i just re-read your post. I...

    hi jack, i do have a 3G subscription. I confirmed that with vodafone and even if i didn't have one it would start consuming my regular prepaid balance on my phone. And I have been using 3g on my other phones with this same sim

    4 days and I haven't even seen the 3G symbol

    i checked my box, couldn't find anything on it. Anyhow, I managed to get in touch with HTC customer care and they confirmed that the device sold in Singapore and India are the exact same.I gave them my IMEI number and they said the device should not have a problem in India. I still couldn't find...

    yes i'm from India. Tell me more. This is what i expected too. But I bought the device from Singapore which uses GSM900/1800 for 2G and India uses the same. Both use 2100mhz for 3G. I'm not really sure though. Google results says it uses the same bands. Is there any way I can check what bands...

    WP8 Newbie Tips

    I initially ignored the "kids" feature, because I don't have kids and i don't give my phone to anyone. But now am using it as a quick access feature with calculator/camera a few of my games etc. Only bad part is you have to unlock your phone with a password ever time.

    hi coolknight, i tried everything you have listed above. I tried another sim card and the 3G still didn't work. I tried my current sim card into my older HTC on X and it worked. I used the HTC connection setup app. Still nothing. Vodafone has told me all about the APN settings. The only thing...

    @martan1981 yep, i tried switching to 3G as the highest connection. Still nothing on the notification bar, Haven't seen the E or H or 3G symbol so far. Just one thing.There is this IPV4, IPV6 AND IPV4V6 options right at the bottom of the APN settings... Any idea what that is for? vodafone told...

    @adroit9 i just called up the shop where i bought it from in Singapore and I told him my problem and asked him if he's sure the phone is completely unlocked. He got offended and said ofcourse it is unlocked and that it is illegal to lock a phone in Singapore. So that has been cleared up too now.

    4 days and I haven't even seen the 3G symbol

    @adroit9 It supports the network bands my carrier uses. I checked. And like i said,I've used a whole range of phones with this very same sim card. Anyway, thanks so much for your time. I must be really missing out on some small setting. I just hope i figure it out. Will let you know if i find...

    ok, thats it, i'm done. I managed to speak to vodafone customer care and they even escalated the matter to higher personnel and they walked me through the settings and again i had had eth correct settings all along. So now it is pretty much confirmed that its a hardware issue with my 8X. I have...

    I just googled the APN settings for my country and the vodafone staff had apparently done it right when i took it to their office yesterday. So now i'm back to square one. Looks like its a problem with the phone. I'm just not ready to accept it though :/
