Interesting thing is I have to do option 2 every time I reboot the phone. No matter, my warranty replacement came in today. Maybe it won't have THIS issue....we shall see.

I've had this problem since July. It really started for me with the leaked 2.05 radio update when I upgraded to Froyo. My phone was fine before that with the 1.x radio. There must be a certain set of conditions that have to exist for the problem to appear, because it doesn't happen to everyone. I personally think that the 2.x radio code has a bug that only pops up under certain conditions. I've tried driving around to different cell tower areas, but I still have the problem. I've spent hours of my time troubleshooting this (as a non-developer). I think they could probably fix this with an update to the code at their end (the towers)...but I'm only guessing at this point because I'm not in Verizon's technical loop.That's good information to know. It could well be an issue with VZW's towers that is caused by them pushing the update. All I know is the screen on this refurb does not look nearly as nice as the screen on my first phone. That bugs me more than anything.
i had the same problem and did the same thing which also worked for me
Everywhere that this has happened to me APPEARS at this point to be an area of extremely weak and/or no signal at all. I'm going to keep watching it to try to nail it down.
I have ota, same issue. Turn phone off then back on, more than once Ive had no 3G. Usually turning off then back on again seems to fix it.
any fixes for this? =/
ive tried it all. no luck. soft reset. hard reset. option 1, option 2, reboots. airplane mode toggle. when i first got 2.2 it messed my calling up, tech support fixed that by having me manually program it. they told me the internet program is a "provisioning" issue which should "fix itself within an hour". no luck.
A number of people have had this issue. For the most part toggling the network in some fashion usually works, at least temporarily. ( though for at least one this did not work. )
Q: Has anyone with this problem NOT touched wifi or any wifi settings since the update?
Reason I ask is I was messing with my wifi settings for a bit, and had this problem with 3G stopping. I had to cycle the network to reconnect. I fiddled with wifi some more, and it has been connected perfectly again since. I will be trying to replicate this again, and actually note what all I do, as perhaps it has something to do with WiFi causing 3G to time out.
