After 2.3 update I can't get 3G to come on or stay one. Any suggestions ?

[joegibbs]

I noticed that since the 2.3 update that I can't seem to get 3G to activate.  I do have data roaming on. 

Sometimes when I turn off wifi the 3G symbol flashes, but it goes away quickly. 

This happens regardless of location, but I am testing it at home where I did have 3G coverage in the past. So I expect it to work.

Any suggestions?

thx

Did you try dialing *228 and option #2  ??

I would do option 1 before option 2. Just to make sure the phone is programmed correctly.

This is stupid.

I did the *228 - 2 option a few days ago without an issues. Now when I try *228 it fails to dial and tells me to contact customer service. Hard to do without a working phone.

**bleep** at VZ and Moto need to do a better job with software updates. Between these issues and the new data plans i will be willing to go elsewhere when the contact is up.

Going to reboot phone and see if that helps.

wow - guess VZ has some auto-censor software going for all posts and you get "**bleep** " if you offend them. lol

Power off and power on allowed me to do *228 - 1 and 2. Will see how it goes from here.

thx for both suggestions

Glad that worked ... let us know how it goes and if that solved your issue.

Found this over on the Droid X forums, it's something I've never heard of needing to be fixed, but apparently it works for some users.

I hope it's not a violation to post that.
