Help Samsung Galaxy Ace - Connecting to the internet via mobile network

Hi Guys,

I'm new here so hi all :)

Just got a Samsung Galaxy Ace last Friday. I had a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 and lost it and when the insurance were due to replace it they said it wasn't in stock so I got the Ace instead. Which I have to say I am liking!

Anyways to my problem. When I'm out and about and want to check my email/facebook etc it doesn't seem to be allowing me to connect to the internet. In the first few days I could. The little GPRS icon appeared. And I know you have to be in range etc but I havent been able to do it for a few days so I'm wondering if there is a setting I can check? I would've thought if it couldn'tn get 3G it would still connect via 2G or whatever once I have a decent mobile signal.

Anyways any help greatly appreciated
 
Eureka :) Thats great it was in there! What I thought had happened was when people were admiring my nice shiney new phone someone accidentally changed a setting!

Thanks a mill!
 
Why I can't access android market, gmail and other apps that require internet connection even I have packet data on in Mobile Network?
 
@sbnaul, I already did Factory Reset but I still could not access android market and gmail through mobile network with packet data on.

Hi,,, I have the Galaxy Ace. but it connects itself to internet via mobile network which costs a lot,,, how can I stop the phone from that, and connect to internet only when it is within a wifi range,,,

NOTE: it is my first time to deal with android, so if you could answer me step by step in details it would be helpful...

Thank you and have a nice day

Goto Menu>Settings>Wireless and Networks>Mobile Networks and disable the first option :)
For Wifi only just switch on your Wifi, and goto Menu>Settings>Wireless and Networks>Wifi Settings and you'll see an option there to notify you when there is an open network available :)

Hi.
I got the Ace yesterday and I have 1GB of internet. Do I use a connection with my wifi or do i use my phone? and which box do you uncheck to avoid being charged? Thanks guys
 
Hai dude,i bought d mb last mnth,n them i was totaly dumb abt it.
And my 1gb of data vaporizd in a week,coz my new mob requrird many apps to be dwnlded.
So i sugest yu to use wifi instd of packet data in the begining.
