    Edge means you are on a 2G network, meaning very slow internet. The apps you are using may require the faster internet with 3G to work.

    So it would be better if I turned my 3G on?

    The speeds are in this order from slowest to fastest:

    GPRS
    EDGE
    3G

    If you want faster speeds, yes, turn on 3G...

    +1 Yup, would be difficult to get around if you couldn't get 3G speeds anyway.

    Battery will drain faster if signal is weak as it tries to draw more current and thus drains the battery at a faster pace.
