EDIT <PPST or something I did killed data connection (juicy / mighty not the problem)

[frostj9445]

I unlocked a new htc tp and installed several different roms...juicy, mighty..etc. the phone works but the data connection (#777) will not work. I have even installed the vzw rom back to the device with no effect. Yes I have paid my bill and yes I have data plan.

The error message says username or password is not correct. After talking with vzw t/s they said to enter;

username: 925xxxxxxx@vzw3g.com
password: vzw

Still does not work. I have seen post which described deleting the connection and creating new with no user/password. Still no luck.

Hard and Soft reset have been done...no effect.

WTF!!!!!

I hope someone has an idea...I'm stuck.


best.

I thought I read somewhere that the password for verizon phones is the last 7 of your phone. No idea if that is true or not as I use only sprint.

try what rekphiv said and get back to us

Password for any data connection on Verizon is vzw. The username is your 10 digit phone number @vzw3g.com

You may have to get data reset done (or switch to another phone with data and switch back--this is how I fix my data, same as resetting since its being setup for a new device on Verizons side).

tried rekphiv's suggestion. nope

rondutt:

can you elaborate...you activate a different phone then switch back to original phone? Is there a cleaner way?

What if I have only one phone?

I'm getting frustrated...sorry.

Find a friend or someone here willing to let you use their ESN/MEID to activate if you only have 1 smartphone data capable device. I can't recall the exact term but most techs should know what you're talking about if you tell them you need your data key reset. This process takes upwards of a week though, so it's faster/advised to activate another smartphone then switch back to your TP. This way a new key is made for the new smartphone, and when you switch back another key is made for your Touch Pro. Do a OTA (*22 and you'll have data back.

Ok, I can go to my office and get a diamond. So I need to;

1. Call 800 number and have verizon activate the diamond.
-will automatic update work or do I need to speak with rep and give esn?
2. Dial *228 on diamond
3. Call 800 number again and activate tp
4. Dial *228 on tp

Any Idea why this happened? I have seen very few threads with same issue.

Thanks for your help rondutt.

You probably just have a hung data session. I was able to get that fixed once with tier 2 data tech support from Verizon (took about an hour, after I got with someone who understood the problem). Level 1 tech tried to sell me a new phone and 2 year contract, LOL.

Edit: this is exactly what happened to me when I was flashing ROMs and switching devices between my Apache and 700wx. The advice I got (not exactly relevant in your case but pertinent to anyone who ESN swaps smartphones) was to turn off the data connection and exhchange/activesync push and always wait about 5 minutes before doing the ESN swap. That way the system knows the old device is disconnected. I've never had a problem since.

Edit 2: I'm with Sprint now, in case you're wondering why I'm talking about Verizon but my profile may say otherwise. I was with Verizon for about 7 years.

Do you think rondutt's suggestion about activating a different phone will work?

Also, I like the mighty rom best...I want to leave on the device but have a concern.

The warning message when using mighty is;

Error Code 67 Registration Error; your pcs Vision username/password is incorrect. Please try again.

This is obviously a pcs message. Is this what caused the problem in the first place. I can't believe I'm the first to use mighty5 on a vzw tp.

You may have to do a ##786# and revert to the original PRI because it sounds like you lost the data passwords. Be forewarned,
this will perform a hard reset. Originally posted by Mutiny32,.. I have sprint and did this and it worked like a charm, it took me 16hrs for this fix sprint couldnt even help me..!! Edit.. I had the very same error code 67 ..just tap on the menu and it should reset..Good Luck
