If you're not aware, Verizon has released the UTStar AKU3 ROM Update for download. While the link is available on the Verizon Support site, it's somewhat buried. The direct link is:
http://www.utstar.com/pcd/Downloads/XV6700%20AKU3.zip
This is supposed to resolve the Error: Data Call Failure. Error 37: Miscellaneous Erroneously Mobile IP Setup Occurred message that often appears when connecting to the network as well as provide other miscellaneous fixes.
I have heard that updating to AKU3 could prevent you from using some of the custom WM6 ROMs—which I've been very tempted to try. I really want this phone to be stable. I've heard WM6 is much more stable than WM5, but I'm not sure I want to upgrade to an unsupported ROM. Either way, I've got to do something to get this phone to a more stable and usable state.
Ever since doing a hard reset on my Verizon Wireless XV6700 I've had a reoccurring problem where my phone would randomly prompt me for my login credentials. If I clicked the "Save password" option and left the username & password fields blank it would go ahead and connect, but I'd eventually the prompt would randomly reappear.
Since this prompt typically happens in the background (while my phone is doing a sync with my mail server) I don't always know that I'm not getting mail. This is pretty frustrating when you rely on your phone to notify you of job related tasks.
After searching the 'net for what credentials to use and not coming up with anything, I finally called Verizon Support. The information they gave me to enter was:
Username: [Your 10-digit cell number]@vzw3g.com
Password: vzw
Domain: [leave blank]NOTE: The information between the brackets are instructions and are not to be typed verbatim.
Hopefully this information will help someone else out and prevent a call to Verizon Support.
