I did the upgrade thanks to this howto yesterday. The new bandwidth is awesome, but I've got seriously annoying glitch.

After the upgrade it worked for about 3 or 4 hours, then I got a notice "Data Connection Refused". Reset; re *228 option 1 and 2; *22899... no dice. Called Verizon, Teir 1 had me redo all those steps, got bumped to Teir 2, he had me try reregistering then had to leave for 5 minutes to ask a higher up. When he came back he had me do a manual programming in the CDMA service profile screen (##000000). The only thing I did there was re-enter my SIP password ('vzw') and the device reset and I was back on EV-DO. Since then I've had that message 5 more times (six times, since I just did it again) 5 times I simply re-entered the SIP password and it worked.

As I was typing this I did the re-SIP password and reset and I got "Data Connection Refused" . My co-worker pointed out there is also an EVDO password, which I just reset to "vzw" and got "Data Conn Refused" once , but a second time seemed to take.

Anyone else seeing problems like this? Hopefully it may help someone that has similar issues, but the repeated resets are a bore. I'll probably call Verizon if it happens again.

FWIW, I'm on 4.0.2.41 firmware.
