V3 Oddities after 42.0DR flash/Flex

Hi all,

I have a couple of issues after Flash/Flexing with the 42.0D/SE8615MBXXH1121 file that was posted elsewhere in this forum.

I'm on Cingular in the Chicago market.

1. Autoupdate of time / date no longer works. The option is on, but it never autoupdates. I've power cycled it, turned the Autoupdate on and off, but nothing seems to update date/time. What do I need to do to get autoupdate working again?

2. Occasionally the phone will register itself with T-Mobile. Personally, I really don't care as long as I can make and receive calls, but I think that Cingular may being that I'm a local Cingular customer in the home coverage area and they will end up paying Roaming to Pink. Anything I can do about this?

3. My Internet is not working on the phone. Before I did the Flash/Flex, I copied the "Websessions" file down from the phone, then after the Flash/Flex I deleted the file that was on the phone and re-uploaded the Cingular websession file. Now if I hit the globe button, I get a message that says "Browser setup is incomplete" and then I can hit the "Setup" softkey, which lists the "Cingluar" websession (Along with "Java Session"). It will then attempt to bring up the Media Net home page, but it just says "Media Net is expierincing technical difficulties. Please try again later. Error 1005." Media Net works on my girlfriends phone (Nokia 6102) so I know MediaNet is actually working. Any ideas on that one?

Overall, I will say I like the OE Mot. flex. Way more ringtones, awesome "Techno" skin that Cingular decided to delete, and the stock games are pretty cool. (At least they don't crap out like the Cingular demo games.) I did however have to seem edit in American dialing. Intl. dialing is annoying if you are used to x-xxx-xxx-xxxx in the US.

If I can clear up those few issues though, it would be awesome.

To my knowledge you should be running a Cingular Flex as it has some coding in it that provides better connectivity to their networks (I've been out of the scene too long to remember exactly what it's called but for some reason ENS is coming to mind)

I would just like to add that #2 has probably always happened, but with a Cingular flex, they have the phone display the network name from the SIM, so it will ALWAYS say Cingular, no matter what network you're actually on. The stock moto flex that you used will read the network name from the tower, so you can see what network you're actually on.
