Thanks for the welcome and advice. Ill give them a try and see what i think. I just connect my device via usb and run the RUU exe of the raido?
Also i think i found another issue that was draining my battery.... I DL'd palringo and later learned it isn't working right with alltel but never uninstalled it. It was causing my data connectin to stay running ALL day. Even after i turned it off it cut right back on.
