DamageControl v2.0 released. Built on Sprint 2.1!!

[drjoed]

I am pretty much a newbie with rooting and all but this forum has made it quite simple and very interesting! I installed V2.0 r2 over a week ago and was at first very pleased. Then I noticed that after the phone was up for a couple of hours I would lose data connection. (Phone still working fine on Sprint network for calls and text!!) I had not wiped before the install (honestly, once upon a time I used to be able to read and follow instructions!) so I re-installed stock ROM from nandroid back-up and once I was sure the phone and data serviced were working fine ( 48 hours) I did a wipe and re-installed DC 2.0 v2. Phone worked perfectly for almost 2 days. This morning I did an HTC sync and afterwards once again got my "no data connection" messages when I went to the internet, Gmail and marketplace! Any ideas??? Is this a pure coincidence or could it be somehow connected to the sync??
On another note-and tell me if I need to post this elsewhere-I have only recently rooted my phone and have noted that most of the time (9 out of 10) when I push home and power buttons to boot into root/recovery program it does not happen! I get to what I think is a "stock" Sprint Hero program ("hard reset) asking me if I want to wipe all data/applications. I have to pull the battery about 10 or 15 times in a row and eventually I do get to my recovery program. Is this odd or is this the Hero???

I've noticed there is a new build out. Hopefully it will fix most of the issues. I rolled back to v1.0 because it feels more stable.

Thanks! Moving quickly in the ROM update world. First of all I realize that in order to boot into my recovery mode I need to hold the home button and press and release the power button! Don't know why that was not obvious to me but instructions seemed to say hold down both. Second I realized that my loss of data service did not correlate with my sync but rather with my signing on to facebook! This increased my battery drain significantly and somehow caused me to loose data connection in an hour or two. Don't know why but that is what is happening. Anyway, I upgraded to 2.05 and will let you all know how that goes!
