    Default Is it just me or is everyone else also having trouble keeping a 3G connection?

    I don't know if this is just coincidence, but ever since I updated my fw to 2.1, I do not remember being able to browse continuously with a 3G connection. Prior to updating, I do recall being able to do so in some areas in Makati. However, even in those same areas, whenever I connect via 3G, it always switches to edge after a few seconds. Always.

    Is there anything wrong?

    I had problems acquiring a 3G signal with 2.0.2 firmware. After updating to 2.1, I've received good 3G coverage in general.

    what i noticed is when i don't use Safari for browsing i always get a 3G signal but when i start to use Safari using a 3G signal it suddenly drops to EDGE or GPRS signal although the connection is still fast. what gives?

    For me, even if my iPhone is set on 3G, there are instances that the network is not available. This happens while I'm in the office, or in the car. I sometimes need to re-search for the available networks, which is a hassle really.

    never really had a problem with a regular 2G signal. even in our master's bedroom at home where my former motorola v3x phone can't get a signal, my iPhone 3G has a 2-4 bars.

    iphone FW 2.1

    I will get full 3G signal, pero pag nag kokonek nako sa internet, it will drop to Edge/Gprs speeds.

    **never pakong nakapagsurf/connect totally under 3G speed.

    have you tried using your sim in another 3g phone?more like an issue w/ globe's 3g network, before i had 6500s will show 3g, pag connect kahit sa home page lang ng globe,baba sa gsm signal..aside from that may mga issue din regarding 3g reception ng iphone 3g..
