That might have fixed your issue also.
Try this suggestion.
Go into your phone dial pad screen, then choose Menu and Options. Next choose the Network TAB and chanbe your Mode of Operation to CDMA only. Putting the phone in CDMA only will not hurt anything while your in the US, but will not allow the phone to work outside the US in GSM coverage areas.
Turn your phone off and then put your SIM card in the phone and power it back on. See if you have the same issues.

Thanks Todd, I'll give that a try.
Of course, to insert and remove the sim, I have to shut down the phone which counts as a reboot, but I'll try it and SR. I'm also going to try your suggestion in the phone settings.

EDIT:
Todd, thank you for your suggestion and it may solve some of the problems that others are having with data and GPS.
When I shut down my phone and inserted the sim card and rebooted, my network settings were "World" and quickGPS would not download. So, I changed to CDMA only and did a SR and quickGPS downloaded data.
Therefore, it looks like if you insert the SIM, the phone will then automatically default to World mode and you will have issues with data. Setting it back to CDMA solved it.
Like I said earlier, this probably IS NOT and MR issue but since many of us only post in ths subforum, it seemed like the appropriate place to mention it.
If anyone else is having data issues, try the above suggestion and see if that helps...or, just remove the sim card if you plan to use your phone in CDMA areas only inside the US.
