Kindle 3g online
got my Kindle 3g (international version) few days before
it works perfectly on wifi, however, i wanted to test the 3G connection, i switched off the router, it couldn't switch to 3G automatically (no 3G icon on the top) i tried "311" on setting page, it did search the wireless telecom providers how can i make 3G work? Thanks a lot! |

not sure if it's sort of firmware crashing issue (e.g. US version mixed with Int. version)
any chance to re-install the firmware 3.2.1 (international version) again? just want to give it a try |

Try it outside, away from your wi-fi connection.

hope it's just activation time issue / network issue, and can be fixed automatically,
not related to any firmware or whatever... |

by the way, if there is still a list of wifi accesspoints (which i can't connect because they need password), will 3G work?
or 3G only works in a way that there is absolutely clear of wifi? (if yes, it's very stupid) |

It will connect via 3G if there's no "known" WiFi network in range. Once you've logged on to a particular WiFi network, it will then automatically re-connect to that network until you tell the Kindle to "forget" it.
