I went thorough 3 xv6800's before data tech support and myself figured this out. Tech support number from landline is 800-922-0204 option 3. If you change the radio to another version you will have to do this again. This seems to only happen on native vzw 6800's and 6900's running a 3x radio and does not happen on other carrier's titan and vogues converted to vzw and running the same exact software and radio version. After you get the akey it should be fine and the radio will survive a soft reset with signal unless you flash another radio to it.

Thanks for the info----how do they give me an akey, and where do I enter it? Is it under the ##778 settings?

Tech support will generate you a new akey and they will walk you through the input. FYI its ##778 then select akey and edit but they will asssit you. Just tell them you get the cannot authenticate after a hard reset and they should give you a new akey no questions asked.

Okay, finally got an akey# and it seems to be working. Off to test download speeds and GPS... but 2 soft resets in a row and signal acquired.... (using the Titan radio and OMJ Verizon OEM ROM).

The reason I ask is the registry script in post #5 won't do anything for Voice and is a GPS Tweak and script I posted a while back.

The Titan 3.35 Radio works best for me too on Sprint. Any 3.37 version does weird stuff IMHO.

I All went well, but took forever to get signal (kept "searching...."). Eventually got signal. Activated it online, *228, option 1. That went through. But when it soft resetted (after successful activation), it takes forever to get signal again (like 30 min or so).

So I have signal now, but if I soft reset...takes forever to lock on.

This is what the issue is slow aquistion of cellular signal after radio change to 3.xx radio. It takes 30 plus minutes sometimes to get signal and is lost after a soft reset. Voice will work prompting some to think its not a akey but a new akey is the solution to this.
