Default No Service

So someone told me this is a problem other people on this site have had but I searched and couldn't find any posts.

Anyway last friday (a few days after I did the update to 1.20) my phone started acting real weird. It claims to be getting service normally (often 4 bars) but almost every time I try and make a call it sits on dialing for a few moments flashes a No Service message in the corner and returns to the dial screen. Vision services don't work either.

The weird thing is that at apparently random times I am able to make a phone call and things work fine then.

I took my phone in to the nearby sprint shop and they are planning to replace it for me (they couldn't figure out what was wrong). Still, I would like to know what happened and if it can be fixed so I don't cause the same problems on my new phone. Was this a problem with the 1.20 update?

This is the "network search" issue. See this following post: http://discussion.treocentral.com/sh...7&postcount=10. The 1.20 update appears to trigger the problem in susceptible phones.

Interesting...this just started happening to my phone on the 25th, only its soo bad that i can only place 1 call out of about 25 attempts. Sprint Phone support mentioned some network issues in manhatten and westchester, but nothing for any of the other boroughs.

I ran the update on the 5th of this month, after I had to return my last phone. It died in the middle of downloading a web site and would not turn on after a hard reset.

Guess Ill have a 4th Treo soon.
