As tiltle says my new Nexus 7 3g will not connect to 3 network,I have a good signal 4 bars ,but nothing.On WiFi it's great,but dead on 3g nothing, am I missing something ?.Don't know much ,but the basics so be easy on me!. I even took it to the shop that supplied the mico sim and they couldn't do anything with it, the tablet knows the card is there and the 3 symblom is displayed at the bottom of the screen!!.Any ideas before I send it back???Cheers Andy

worth checking the APN, also how are you seeing icons on bottom of the tablet. Nexus 7 has phone like interface and icon will only appear on the top.

Have you activated the card with your wireless provider? You didn't mention in your post what company you are using. I just wanted to make sure that you have done that.

Same issue here with ee (T-Mobile), they couldn't sort it in the shop either. Now on 2nd registered sim & still no connection. Any ideas?

i know it sounds silly but when i had the same problem the solution was to put in the field apn type "default"
At least it worked for me, I hope this helps

How on earth you could figure it out that by entering 'default' it works? It worked for me too. Thanks a million. Worth trying: Go to mobile network settings--->Access point names---->click + sign on top, and enter default for name and next field. Good luck everyone.
