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

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!
Thanks Sweet Bear Cub. To answer your q's:
1) Still get a data error unless I go through the listed steps.
2) Yes.
3) Still present after several *228 activations.
4) Stock rom -- VzW's MR2 (WM6.5/Sense 2.5).
Would sure like to avoid a hard-reset. (I'm not sure it's THAT much of a pain!)

Problem seemed to start after a recent trip where I used my TP2 on a flight to access Wi-Fi. It kept bugging me with network connection errors until I went into Airplane mode and then Wi-Fi. (I have since returned Wi-Fi to disabled as a battery saver).
