The internet on my HTC desire HD is so slow as to be useless and often will not connect.
Voice and text works fine.
Is it the handset (HTC or Android) or Vodafone?
First test Vodafone with my pocket wifi device and a $150 prepaid >10GB data dodad
It boots and displays VODA AU 3G and 3 bars of signal strength.
On netbook, have to connect to the pocket wifi network.
Control panel>Network and sharing center>Connect to a network.
Connected. In Firefox, typed in google.com > Page came up almost immediatly.
Searched for "cabbage", this being something never searched for before. Results came up almost immediatly.
Conclude Vodafone and Pocket wifi and prepaid sim -> OK
Now confirm the problem.
On HTC type in google.com.au
takes about 5 seconds to come up -> ok
search for carrot. comes up immediatly.
Blast.
Is it connected to my wifi? - does not seem to be.
Searched for "turnip" over 1 minute and no result. So it seems that the problem is present
Swap Sim Cards
On the netbook, connect to the pocket wifo with the Vodafone infinte 45 Sim in it.
Bring up google. Search for "peas" OK. Maybe slightly slower than before but still pretty fast.
Now search for "corn" Likewise get a response in just a few seconds.
Conclude that Vodafone are not delaying the data on that sim card.
On the HTC (Now fitted with the prepaid data sim) Bring up a browser.
"Connection Failed"
Chose "Settings"
"Connection failed due to incorrect APN" setting
Phoned Vodafone and a nice Indian fellow had me put the original SIM back in the HTC and enter some new settings. Seems to be working somewhat better. We shall see.
