Re: My TP2 won't start up with data connection automatically

Wow, that sounds really annoying.

I'm not a VZW genius, but I'm happy to take a shot at this. Mind trying some troubleshooting to help me help you?

1) I have my TP2 set to load my IE home page on startup, so that a data connection is ready to go ASAP. I did that by putting a shortcut to IE in my Windows\StartUp folder with Total Commander. Does that help you, or do you still get a data call failure with that?

2) Is the bug still present after soft or hard resets?

3) I'm not up to speed on VZW, but last I knew they had a *228 activation system you could call into and use to get your phone re-programmed. Have you tried that? If it helps, I *think* there is a way to back up those settings, though I'm not sure how.

4) Are you still running a stock ROM? If not, it could possibly be the case that there is a bug in whatever custom ROM you're running, and maybe a Task 29 (complete internal flash ROM wipe) and reflash will help?

Good luck!

Kind of a pain in the a$$ to do that every time, though!

Anyone have any ideas on getting my TP2 to start up with a data connection active?
