2g/3g nightmare...
 

AS well as my 9700 being useless at snapping back to a network once it has come out of an area with no signal. I have noticed a nice new problem that really winds me up. It's all to do with options > mobile network.
The default is 3G&2G and that should be that right? Wrong. When 3g isn't available the handset doesn't snap to a 2G signal so instead you have no signal. I have to change the mobile network options to 2G just to get a signal when I know I am in an area with reception. How do I fix this. I want my handset to go to GPRS not a small 3g with nothing happening. Any help/advice massively appreciated

What version of the handheld OS is on your 9700?

V5.0.0.862 (Bundle 1446)

Have you tried upgrading or downgrading? Did you experience this issue with other versions of the OS?

yes I did always had it

I would consider exchanging the device. Sounds like defective hardware because it should not behave the way you're seeing it behave.
