Problem enabling 3G

I bought a Xperia C phone few days ago and put a 3G enabled SIM in it. But not able to enable 3G data. There is no settings for doing this. Data mode is working in 2G mode. Can anybody help me solve my issue.

Thank you..

Do you have the correct APN settings ?

Settings > Xperia > internet settings > also if your SIM card its older than a year, you should get a new SIM card

I have the same problem too. I tried everything I read on forums still not working. When I try to use it the first time, it works but after few weeks my xperia c cant receive 3g it doesn't have the "h+" or "h^" sign on the top of signal bars. What should I do?

Do you have good 3G coverage?If you restart the phone,does the 3G data work?

Hi Guys

Hope this helps, you can only get 3G or better from sim tray 1, sim tray 2 will only work @ 2g. I had a data sim in tray 2 and my cell sim in tray one.

I have swopped these around and also the sim preferance ( I have data set to sim 1 and Calls and Messeages to sim 2)

Then lastly go to SETTINGS>MORE>MOBILE NETWORKS>SELECT SIM CARD>SIM 1> and ensure you have WCDMA(Preffered) selected
