Yes, the three dots after the antenna icon that persist for 10 or more minutes on startup, is the issue that my steps fix. I would recommend making sure you are in an area where other Verizon phones are working, then try it again, and this time, flash it to stock ROM before doing the steps (Let the customizations run - you can always reflash once you have this issue fixed).

Also, im confused, because your posts over at XDA-Developers forum are minor details on other stuff, and it appears you already have a working phone over there. Do you have two XV6900's?

thanks
