Hi - I have a HTC Wildfire I'm using on Vodafone.

Everything works fine for voice/sms.

Everything works fine for data on WIFI but getting data to work via the VF data network is proving difficult.

The phone says it's getting -87dbM/13ASU .

I've set up the APN as shown here http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=40&topicid=39471 (I've only set up the data one shown there, not the MMS one) and rebooted the phone.

Problem is I'm still not getting any data (or at least that's what the web browser says when I try to fetch a page with wifi disabled)

I'd appreciate any troubleshooting ideas I could try because this is driving me nuts !

regards

R.

Just for sake of future searchers I did get this resolved.

I did two things, reset the phone to factory defaults and then asked the very helpful guy at the Kilbirnie Vodafone shop to help ! He re-entered the APN and, bang, it all works.

I'm still a bit puzzled as I thought I had entered what is now in the APN but clearly I'd made a mistake somewhere along the way.

Very happy with the phone now and grateful to the Vodafone guy.
