I don't know if it'll be the cause, but you can switch between what type of 
networks it should connect to.

If I switch mine to GSM/WCDMA auto then I get 3G (HSPDA) in supported areas, 
but often with a slightly weaker signal; if I set it to GSM-only, it gets a 
stronger signal, but with slower data.

You can find it under Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile networks -> 
Network mode.

More fun, though, is to "dial" *#*#4636#*#* to get into the testing widget, 
where you can get all sorts of info and set preferred network type, etc.
