Unable to get 3G Mode
I've had this phone for about a month now and the first couple week I was able to get 3G mode most of te time. A couple weeks ago I dropped it and I can only get Standard GSM and Edge Modes. Anyone know if theres a way I can turn it back to 3G or does it do it automaticlly? If anyone can help me out id appreciate it.

For the "network" settings, the phone is set to "automatic" by default. This means that it will look for all types of supported connections at a given moment. It's my understanding that if 3G is available, it will be used over the GSM or EDGE. But, if it is not available, the phone resorts to those other speeds.
There's nothing you can change on the phone that will improve this.
I don't have 3G in my area, so through some modding, I was able to set the phone to use only the 850/1900 bands. In other words, I didn't want to the phone to search for a network that isn't in my area yet!
Through the hack, you could set the phone to use only the WCDMA bands, but if the network is not there, it won't help you much.
