I still have 2 working 7868s. This probably doesn't count as a 'work-around' but Data Pilot works fine with the 7868's and the other CDMA Startacs.

FCN-2 is not permanent. I've had several other people confirm that they had 7868's with 7654 and Truesync was doing the same thing. You could use the phone as a modem just fine. FINALLY got Verizon to switch me phones and I got one with 6654, it worked.

No Motorola never came up with this for two reasons: 1) They were always blaming the Truesync app and had me update it to 3.1 several times, which doesn't even support ST7868 anymore. Three different support persons, same thing. 2) Does anyone there actually speak Engrish? How in the (@^# are you supposed to understand a support person when they can't understand you and you them?

Doesn't matter now, phone went flying and got a T730 now. It too has problems with Truesync but this IS a crappy Motorola forgot to include the USB drivers problem. My wife's Virgin Mobile phone is looking better and better. 'Al Klein' wrote in message news:iogo2052jjj4jrb298n1d86j1t2vc76aq0@Pern.rk.

On Thu, 12 Feb 2004 03:39:49 GMT, 'Ray Dios' posted in alt.cellular.verizon: Manual analog operation with this software upgrade is nearly impossible too! Try Function-2. Mine has software ver 7058 and don't seem to have any issues with wither fcn 2 or truesync.

Just FYI more than anything else. As far as needing a software rev because they are not getting signal, is a red herring. I can see needing a prl update but as far as the firmware goes, I can't see why that would matter.

I have two ST7868W's and one has 7058 and theother has 6654 and have never had any issues with signal. If you are in a PCS only area and the prl is not up to date, this would cause a no signal condition as by default, the phone would only pickup A/B frequencies and not know to scan for the PCS freq. I would sure suck if I couldn't use fcn 2 anymore.;-) Scotty 'A McFerrin' wrote in message news:u-Wdnf2GnoZ3gLLdRVn-jQ@wideopenwest.com. FCN-2 is not permanent.
