Problems with 3.27 radio on VZW XV6800

After flashing from stock VZW 2.09 Rom / 1.30.6 Radio to a custom Rom (tried Sprint Beta 3.16, DCD and No2Chem's) / 3.27 Radio, the phone will sit and search for a tower to connect to for 15-20 mintues. I confirmed that my EPST settings did not change, and my PRL is the same as before the flash. Once the connection is made, I do not seem to have any issues. After a soft reset or switching the radio on/off, it happens again. Performing a *228 option 1 does not seem to help at all.

The second problem is not too much of an issue, but I haven't seen anyone else describe quite the same thing. After each attempt to flash, I return to the stock Verizon radio and rom. I can always make incoming / outgoing calls without an issue, but attempting to connect to #777 for a data connection gives me a "incorrect username or password" error. Setting the username / password doesn't seem to matter, and the settings do not appear to hold. Every time I've had to badger tech support and they try things on their end until I'm back online. I've pushed them to tell me what they do so I can request it by name, but they've refused so far.

Has anyone experienced any of this? Does anyone have any ideas or solutions?

Thanks!

I have the exact same issue (I'm on cricket, not verizon.)

What makes it even more frustrating is it seems the GPS Roms freeze my phone at least once or twice a day, forcing me to soft reset, and leaving me without a phone for 20 min at a time (which is a SERIOUS pain for someone who uses 5,000 min/month.)

I'm glad to know the problem isn't tied to the cricket service, but I have no idea what it is. Hopefully someone can help us out.
