possible phone radio issue

[bigirb2002]

I had problems with my radio leaving so I decided to keep utstarcom battery in and not take it out a ferew w days. because every time I switched to cheap ebay battery the radio left. then I upgraded to radio 1.41. so for days the radio didn't leave again.yesterday I was packing for a trip. I got 3 batteries. 2 ut starcom and 1 ebay cheapo.

I put the ebay cheapo in the radio disapeared. took it out put the utstarcom battery in it came back.weird but true.that solved all my radio issues

I went through the day with half a phone, then when I got home sure enough once I reversed the hack everything was good again. As I said not sure what it was anymore, but it was probably either something to speed up the first ring with an incoming call or perhaps boosting the signal strength...

I know those hacks you are talking about but that is one of the reasons I did a hard reset and flashed to a new ROM. I was hoping to get away with whatever had been done previously to it. I know it had been messed with by its orevious owner because it had the splash screen of two apache choppers which we all know as coloners (SP?). I thinkit is provisioning settings as well. I logged into the EPST and checked the settings. Some were different than mine but they did match up with each other (although I do still think it is something in there)

Got it but it doesnt help at this point. We didnt buy a phone from someone just to turn in to VZW for a new one.

If it's set to HDR (aka EVDO) the phone will never drop out of data-only mode, meaning all your calls will go to voicemail. It happened to me once and drove me nuts until I finally figured it out.

Would a hard reset and upgrade to the ROM correct this? Get back to me and let me know where this setting is at because I looked in my phone and couldnt find it. THX

Well I know he stil lhas the OEM UTStar 1350 battery.

Overall guys, I DONT think it is the radio itself because it obviously works due to him being able to MAKE a call but just not receive. This is why I think it is a setting in EPST or provisioning build. But hey, what do I know?

Modes are accessed under the ## codes, and will persist through upgrades, and hard resets. I would try to flash to the staock Verizon Rom, and get back to a "known good" state. Go through and compare the settings from yours to the other under teh ##778. Modem Settings, CDMA Settings specificlly.

##PST Talk
Click Edit
When it asks for MSL type 000000 (6 zeros)
Go to Modem Settings page (drop down in upper left)
On Preferred Mode line, make sure it's set to Automatic (you should be able to tap and change it if not).
Hit OK in upper right corner
Should be prompted to soft reset phone, otherwise do it yourself.

That should do it.
