Final Approach
The new 1.10 firmware update that has been released for Verizon and Sprint has several issues. I speak from experience with the Verizon update, and after the update, I had data connectivity issues. Initial data connection would work great, but as soon as it went idle, it wouldn't wake back up. So a call to VZW tech support, and the lady went through a number of steps, checking authentication on the account, OTA provisioning about 5 times, recompiling the network provisioning for the phone several times, and after the first reset, I got the dreaded message:
Just a heads up to any fellow Treo users on the boards.
(Another note: Some users have had no problems whatsoever, and others have had various levels of serious issues, including rebooting loops. Luck of the draw I guess.)
No matter how many times I'd try to connect, it kept failing. So about 20 minutes later, after hard resetting again, Verizon is overnighting me a new (well, refurb) 700p. I am hoping it has the 1.06 firmware, as I don't want to deal with this again. And of course I'm gonna make sure I read through Treocentral and Palm's support pages before I try another update. I hate when the end users become guinea pigs for buggy patches.Error: 3000: Data service is unavailable in this area. Please try again later. (0x713E)
