I have been having the same problems. I have a Sprint PPC6700. My experience with "refuse to resume" was that the gray arrows would not "turn white" again thus cannot access the internet. This is accompanied by not able to receive phone calls or call out with error message saying unable to complete call or something to that effect. I have missed a number of phone calls because of this and was forced to soft-reset the phone at least once a day at its worst. One time a call came in and the notification icon turned to "phone on signal bars" as it normally does just before the phone rings but the phone never rang. Half-hour later, the same icon was still there and I had to soft-reset to get the phone functionality back.
I have only been using Sprint customized roms until a few days ago. I don't remember whether I had this problem with the original 2.2 stock rom because I upgraded to a custom rom not long after I bought the phone. I also don't clearly remember having this particular problem while using the unified 3.5 roms (if it did, not so often), so the problem might had gotten worse for me with the latest roms that I really took notice. (I used 1.0.2 and 1.0.4) I have updated to 1.41 radio and 20229 PRL and made no difference. Right now I am on the 3.3 stock rom from Bell Mobility with a blank extrom. So far for two days I have not had the same problem. Hope it will stay this way.
Also, when it happened, it seemed to be in 1X mode most of the time. I found one workaround that keeps the connection off entirely instead of staying dormant by setting the registry key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings]
"SuspendResume"="GPRS_bye_if_device_off" (original value is #777)
I have only tried this key for a few hours and verified that it does turn off connections. My current flash seems to work fine so I changed the key back to its original value to see if it is going to stay stable at its default settings.
Another interesting note, I use the Slide2UnLock program which shows the current network on its lock screen. When the phone was having the problem, the network string would say No Service. Yet the signal bar looked normal on the today screen. (And of course, in my last 1.0.4 flash, I did not install the Slide2UnLock or any other program and made no difference)
