I brought my phone in for the connectivity issue. The VZW rep called HTC and they told them this too. The VZW followed his instructions then called VZW and re provisioned the card. THey had already reset my phone on a previous attempt to fix the issue (about 15-30 mins earlier). Next, the put the battery back in my newly reset and re-provisioned phone and told me it was fixed.
My no data message arrived about 5 mins later.
My other details: I live in a 3G only area so this is not a hand-off or over subscribed tower issue. This had been going on since I got the phone but had gotten progressively worse (from 1-2x per day to 5-6x per day). There is something more going on here.
I'm in a 3G only area (damn VZW!) and I also have occasional (once or twice a week at most) dropouts of data connectivity. I usually just put my phone into airplane mode, and sometimes restart, then turn off airplane mode. Pretty much works every time so I haven't messed around with calling VZW or shutting off 4G with apps or hacks.
Would be nice for VZW to straighten this out; especially for people who have this problem frequently.
