Then they tried to blame me for not doing the procedure right! Personal I think they should be doing any software revisions and not the customer. I sure wish I saw this thread before I spoke with them I would have tried the same thing......

Don't give up... it only took me 3 emails (I never even had to waste time on the phone) to get a brand new boxed TP2!

Hopefully someone will be able to share with me how to use the USB to PC internet tethering program that comes with the phone, I've been having problems with it, getting the error code "End Data Call"

have you unlocked it and flashed a custom rom??? 95% of custom roms have that issue fixed, u may wanna check the paperclips by the threads in the rhodium forum to see if there is a simple .cab fix posted

No I haven't, my Verizon TP2 is totally 100% out of the box factory set. The internet sharing worked great out of the box on my original TP1.

I have nothing against Flashing the ROM, although I have never done it, I just wish the basic built-in programs straight from the manufacturer would work

I think I'll use today to flash my ROM, what's the best/current flash tool out there right now, and is Flashing different than installing something like MightyROM for my TP2? (is it like flashing the BIOS on my laptop?)

Hi,

MY TP1 that got upgraded to a TP2 was from Alltel. I was an Alltel customer for about 6 years, and then I was forced by merger into Verizon service around October 23rd this year when the big switch happened.

I think Asurion is Alltel's insurance, but I could be wrong; I thought Verizon used a different insurance provider or insured themselves. Anyway, one thing I am sure of is that my phone did not affect my insurance coverage in any way (more than 1 replacement per 12mo and they cancel your coverage!) because my TP1 was still under a 1yr manufacturer's warranty. Personal Communications Devices (who SUCK) is who Verizon deals with and directs traffic to etc, I believe most of the phones come from them.

WOW! I am now in your boat! I called Verizon and didn't even get nasty and my NEW TP2 is now being prepped for take off.... destination...my mail box!

Thing is I have had 3 TP1s exchanged by mail and one instore since getting the phone new in store in Feb/Mar and have had refurbs everytime except for the instore replacement. My current TP1 is acting up as the others did. So I am not trying to get something for nothing. just goig by their policy.

All I did was call CS tell them my previos experiances with the phone/exchanges/crappy reps on phone and instore and how Verizon needs to handle the situation more appropriatly.....she said she was So sorry and sent me to TS who then got my info and asked if I would be happy with a TP2 as a replacement. I stayed calm....and asked if the TP2 would be a refurb. she said NO way i had dealt with those enough. Took my info, apologized for the crappy service and delay, and told me Merry Christmas....I was warm inside with christmas cheer.

Score.
