problems after flashing the official sprint rom
 

After flashing the new sprint rom I have been experiencing problems with data connections and opera. opera always crashes when trying to go to ppcgeeks website for example and data refuses to connect when the phone is roaming. it says there is a problem connecting. I have simply everything plan on sprint by the way. is anybody else having any of these problems?

Opera crashing on ppcgeeks.com is a known issue. If you are having issues with data connection, I had this once, after I had flashed a bunch of ROMs...I had to call in to support and we eventually did a #RTN reset (complete hard reset in which the network re-provisions your data from their end) and it worked wonderfully. I have seen other solutions to the data issue posted here but for me the #786 (#RTN) reset was the only thing that worked.

so can i just do a normal hard reset myself?

Re: problems after flashing the official sprint rom
 

I don't know if Sprint had to do anything on their end to tell the network to reprovision my phone after the #786 reset. But re-reading your message, I noticed you said data doesn't work while roaming. Does data work OK when you're in Sprint coverage? If so, it might not be anything wrong with your phone...maybe there's a problem with the new ROM or the PRL is preventing your phone from connecting. I've been in native Sprint coverage ever since flashing the new ROM so I haven't seen any issues connecting to data.

Might be best just to call Sprint and ask them about it.

Have you checked your settings to make sure that data is enabled while roaming? Go to Settings>Phone>Services>Roaming, Get Settings... and check the Data roam guard section. Select Never ask and allow roaming and you should be able to connect to data while roaming.

I started having similar data connection trouble after flashing the new official sprint ROM as well. It says problem connecting or no data connection even when the data connection says it's connected. Sometimes soft-resetting will make it work again for a while, and then it starts failing again. I also have the sprint "everything" plan. The problem seems to have persisted even after I've flashed to a couple different ROMs after the Sprint official one... could have something to do with the radio (which gets flashed by the official sprint ROM but not by custom ROMs) I suppose but I haven't had time to mess with it much yet.

I'll let you know if I figure anything out after I've had a chance to do some more testing.

My data problem is that it wont stay off. As soon as i turn it off, and click something that uses data, it turns it back on... even though im connected to wifi. It didnt do that before, I could leave the data connection off all weekend and just use the wifi at home, and it pretty much ignores that now...

Now even when I am on Sprint only the e-mail doesn't update anymore. I hit sed/receive and right away it says finished but it never updates

I also only get 2G (1x) service while roaming now.

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/index.php I was getting opera crashes too on stock rom. But only when I urled ppcgeeks.com but let me in thru forum link.

Re: problems after flashing the official sprint rom
 

if you go to google on opers and put in ppcgeeks wait till it comes up then save the link to your opera as one of your favorits then your can get straight into ppcgeeks from opera, this worked for me after i figured it out.

Have also had some issues with the new stock rom. Gmail sync quit working but deleting the reestablishing worked for it.

Other issues were the rings for email or text just quit working. Going to "sounds" and selecting a sound for either one then click on "play" to hear it... no sound, no matters what I selected? bizarre...

Did a reset of phone, now all my data's gone, but the rings are working again ...

Re: problems after flashing the official sprint rom
 

I seem to have trouble getting Outlook/Messaging to launch after a while. Always after a soft reset/restart it works, but after a while sometimes nothing will launch it from anywhere on the phone.

This used to happen on occasion with the old original stock rom too, but it's happened more frequently since I've updated.

Re: problems after flashing the official sprint rom
 

This new rom update has done a lot of weird things on my phone. I definitely regret flashing it. Now data turns off as soon as the phone goes to sleep. when i turn my phone to landscape the screen goes crazy with scrambled lines

Re: problems after flashing the official sprint rom
 

Same here except I get scrambled lines and images in both portrait and landscape modes, especially when trying to read email or text messages. Do you think it is related to flashing the rom update from HTC or do you think it's a problem with the phone itself? I hope someone can help us out with a solution.....EAGERLY waiting!

Re: problems after flashing the official sprint rom
 

I have no idea why it is doing this, all i know is that my phone was working perfectly with no problems since last november and as soon as i flashed sprints new rom it started going crazy. I don't have insurance on it but does anybody know whether they would fix it at the sprint store without charging me, because after all it is not my fault. Also i am up for an upgrade so I don't know if it is worth the trouble. Maybe I should just upgrade to touch pro 2.
