Issues with 3G - downloading apps/Voice to Text - help please!

[javapop]

I'm using an older phone, the Optimus Slider, mainly to keep a $25 plan active. This is actually my 3rd, has been very dependable. (after rooting)

Last week, noticed there were issues first with voice to text. It works on wifi; but doesn't on 3G. I use it for Google navigation, and with handcent.

The next is downloads from market. When I download something via 3G (full signal) it never starts downloading. If connected to wifi, I get an error (498)

I have tried to go to manage apps, delete cache and data on google apps and restart, and I have backed up everything, then wiped data and installed a clean stock rom. I have entered my google info in order to access google play, and have the same results.

I've spent a lot of time on the phone with VM support, they have been helpful trying to help me do the obvious things.

Has anyone using VM with a grandfathered plan noticed anything odd like I'm experiencing?

They mentioned there were some outages; but things should have cleared out by now; but nothing seems to have changed.

Have you run the activate app? Or called vmu to reprovision your account?

I'm having data problems on my optimus slider. Never been rooted or rimmed but I get no mom's or web. If it helps you help me it works with widow but the bars n the 3g aren't turning green. They stay white.

They turn green when you are synced with Google. Make sure you have sync enabled and your password is correct. Try running the activate app.
