I can't connect my V3M as a modem... I've read that people are having trouble connecting using password vzw (username 10digit@vzw3g.com , dial #777). But, I've even tried switching the password to qnc and am still unable to connect. My comp is recognizing my phone as a modem (I checked in the hardware profile and it working correctly and is assigned it's own com port). I installed drivertool to accomplish this.

I've went over my steps and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.. if anything! Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance!

I found this linked on your page, Mark:
HOW TO TURN OFF EVDO
(Experts say this must be done to access the 1x Verizon Network, ICON on phone will show "1x", not "EVDO".) Also important so Verizon does NOT know you are "tethering" to their Network, as this is NOT allowed, they want to sell "data packages". Some say it helps battery time, other say the opposite. The phone will not have VCast, it will simply say VCast coverage not avaliable. Your WAP will still work on the 1x network just fine. So I'll turn it back on by reversing the procedure when NOT using the phone as a modem.

1. From the main screen, type #073887* (MUST DO THIS QUICKLY) Then enter personal security code. (Default is 000000, changed mine)
2. Scroll down to Test Mode, select it and enable it. Use "right soft key".
3. Hit End (Red hang up) HOLD until Phone SHUTS DOWN.
4. Reboot, Turn Phone BACK ON.
5. You should go right to a white screen. Hit the right arrow until you hit a screen with a long list of parameters including HDR Prefs
6. Scroll down to it and change it using the right arrow key from Auto to CDMA (AUTO IS THE DEFAULT).

NOTE: Next line down: "HDR Hybr:" (ON IS THE DEFAULT) One post said to set it to "OFF", others said NOT to. Tested, worked both ways!

7. From this WHITE Screen, you can click the EXIT button (Left Soft Key), then,
8. To EXIT "Test Mode", Hit CLR and the LEFT soft button; you should be back at the normal home screen. (HARD to press both KEYS, at the same time!) TIP: Press the CLR key first, and while holding that, press the left soft key and after a sec let go of CLR and then the left soft key following immediately after.
9. Now Must redo original steps, from main screen: #073887* and disable Test Mode, click EXIT-END button till back at Main Screen, did NOT need to reboot phone.

I did all that and EVDO has been turned off... I still can't get it to access the network using vzw or qnc as password. It connects and starts sending data, then it tell me I have an invalid username or password. I've checked both and they are correct?

Any other thoughts?
