"Update Profile "

[pinfante#AC]

What is "Profile Update" for? I tapped it and the phone sat there 'looking for update' for a long time doing nothing. Had to power cycle phone to get back to normal.

??

Thanks.

Updating the Profile is like activating the phone. It will update the phone number, MSN MSID, updates the data information. A while back sprint acticated the feature of over the air re-program. Once a phone has been set up and provisioned in the sprint system, the phone its self has to have the info updated. This is the manual way of doing that.

mostly used for troubleshooting data connection issues, or like big said, activation or reactivation.

You only really have to worry about this after a radio upgrade and probably really rarely then unless you can't get a 3G connection. Though, it should work when you do the update, even if it just replaces the data that is there it should say the update was successful.

Try going to settings and setting your mobile network as home only and trying again.
