poor transitioning from wifi to 3g data network

Hello,

I have noticed that my Desire often has problems transitioning from a Wifi network to a cellular data network. For example, if i'm using a Wifi hotspot for data, and i move out of range, the phone should default back to using the cellular network for data. This is how it is configured, and sometimes it works ; however, i've found that more often than not, once i leave Wifi range, the phone doesn't even try to communicate via the configured cellular option.

Power-cycling the phone once i'm out of Wifi range « fixes » the problem - which is to say that it will use the cellular data network as expected. This really isn't a great solution though. :huh:

Has anybody else experienced this problem ? Does anybody have an insight as to what the source of the problem might be ? Of course, a solution would be great, but any hints are welcome too. Thanks !

Have exactly the same issue. Read in other forum(?) that some guy could manage it by setting "authorisation" (not sure whether this is the correct translation) in settings/wirless-networks/mobile networks/access points (again sorry for translation). For me I couldn't verify this.

I'm having a similar problem. But a bit different.

I have a problem when I'm on Wifi and I receive an MMS. It won't download it until I switch off the Wifi off...
