I had gotten the popups etc when I flashed my 1st rom. So I remembered on the stock rom there were basically 2 connections and NO popups. So I reflashed with the stock and wrote down the info. and reflashed to custom and got the same annoying sh***.
So on a hunch and here was my thought. In theroy all cell co's share towers. In order to callout a function such as 3g, you need proper protocals to access the data connections. You must have a password to get access to the networks 3gs sytem otherwise it doesn't work. I think what verison has done is to incorporate a seperate setting that hops different towers and not only allows access but to be able to read & keep the connections.
I live between 3 sprint towers with their local office 7 miles away. Hence i'm in sprint zone. So by using the embedded connection it allows me to connect to 3g without being dropped like a big dog 24/7. This dropping issue appeared on regular connection after flashing the rom to custom before I put in the 2nd connection.
So adding the 2nd mearly allowed me to connect to verizons network without hassle & annoying popups, data connections are screaming fast.
I like to think of it as making an invisible line of site connection.
Yes your data usage shows up. You can not connect without the passsword.
I entered it like this:
1st screan called it: vzwembedded same as they had it
2nd screen just called it: verizon3g ( cell connection)
next entered the: emgsm.vzw3g.com
password: vzw
Hope this helps any questions please feel free to ask.
Update: remember under select networks it needs to be set to auto to allow the phone to swith protocals as needed.

Maybe you could clarify what you are suggesting be changed.
You said:
VZWEmbedded
Log on: emsgsm.vzw3g.com
Pass: vzw (I tried our regular password & it worked)
Usually this is where under logon, you would input: 10 digit # @vzw3g.com
Are you saying to leave the 10 digit number out and just use what you have typed above?
Were you getting the voice only popup? If so, is it gone now?
Please elaborate, as it's driving many crazy!  |
