HTC Desire internet connection

Hi
Apologies in advance if there is a entire discussion on this already posted! I have looked before posting.

A while ago, several months I would say, I found a post on here that guided me thorugh changing some settings on my phone in an attempt to increase battery life. I can't find the original post anymore. This did work for me, and my battery life increased quite a lot as my phone didn't constantly use 3GS.

Now, however, my phone struggles to connect to the internet. When I can see that I have 3GS, it tells me it cannot connect to internet. it also struggles to send texts even when I have a full signal. I want to put it back to it's orignal settings, regardless of battery use.

I actually really hate this phone as the battery doesn't even last 2 days without needing charngin, even if it's jsut on standby. Roll-on upgrade!

Thank you

    you're not on o2 are you? A recent software update on my handset has completely broken the network switching from 2-3G - this in turn kills my internet connection too.
  • No, I'm on Orange.

    On this point best to charge most days with smartphones, everyone I've had has liked the juice.

    Juice defender app is good at stopping battery use a bit anyway.
