How to change from GPRS to 3G/HSDPA?

I've got my new phone today and it's awesome!!
For some reason, it's only connecting on GPRS (a "G" in the bar at the top) and I can't find the setting to tell it to seach for 3G/HSDPA networks!
On my old phone, I manually set it to only use GPRS, so this maybe why as the setting is remembered on the simcard (?).

There is an option to switch on and off 3g data access under Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Use only 2g Networks

How to connect to 3G

I just got this phone and I can't connect to my 3G connection.
I went to settings > mobile networks > network operators and chose my operator, but I still am unable to connect to 3G. Help!

you need to figure out your APN settings for your cell provider.
usually something like
internet.cellprovider.com
useridname
userpassword
then you can login to Edge/ 3G / HDPDA speeds
since you are new i'll recommend you to read this FAQ

How to disable 2G ?

I want to use i9000 without SIM card, but 2G stays active anyway.
I couldn't find any way to separately disable 2G (flight modus also disables WLAN etc.) I searched on the market and the only thing I found is 3G/2G switcher.
Does anyone know if there is any way to do it ?
Thanks!

Settings -> Wireless and network -> Mobile networks -> Uncheck "Use packet data"

Thanks, but I want to turn off 2G Radio completely, not only packet data (I already did this, but it wouldn't work anyway since there is no SIM card inside).

Unable to connect to 3G - Rogers

So I have my APN settings configured correctly as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1187611 however I can't get off Edge for some reason. When I go into networks and select either manual or automatic, it only seems to find the 2G or Edge network.
Any idea how to change this so I can get back onto 3g?

Go to settings, wireless & networks, mobile networks, networks mode and choose wcdma only.

[Q] Can't connect to Internet

Hi, I use Blade 3 Pro. When I turn off Data on my phone,after a few hours, when I turn it on I can't connect to internet. What I have to do? Then I must go to Settings and check/uncheck (depends of previous state) 'Use only 2G networks'. Internet immediately starts to work? What's going on?

Check something -> settings > more... > mobile networks > preferred network type ... and what is selected ?

In Mobile network setting s I only have:
1) Data Enabled
2) Data Roaming
3) Enable Always-on mobile data
4) Access Point Names
5) Use only 2G networks
6) Network operators

I thing the problem is - not enouth signal strength of 3G network and when you change the network type to 2G you don't have that problem cuz the signal is better.. but this is just a guess i thing...

Good hint,but see this. Yesterday I checked Use only 2G networks, Internet worked perfectly whole day. I woke up tomorrow, tried to connect it fails. I went to Settings UNCHECK Use only 2G networks, internet started normally. Changing settings from previous state makes my internet works.
