nlk10010 How do you "End Data Call" in VZW TouchPro? 3 Feb 26 2010, 8:37 AM EST by rightwinglefty
Thread started: Jan 2 2009, 4:40 PM EST  Watch
The "Search" function is erroring out on me so I thought I'd post a New Thread since I have problems with delayed gratification. :) I've also posted this on other forums so apologies if that's bad form.

I have a new TP on VZE and am trying to get tethering working. Every time I use ModemLink, select USB and click "Start" I get "End Data Call First". I've checked to see that ActiveSync is not running, turned on Airplane mode, turned off Data Connection and/or Phone, etc. and tried various combinations of those but the Data Connection always seems to resurrect itself and clicking "Start" in ModemLink gives me the "End Data Call First" message. SOMETHING is keeping that connection alive and I can't for the life of me figure out what it is. I've also tried a long press on the "End Call" button but no joy. There are some other issues as well, but I thought someone might have a quick answer (as opposed to VZW support, which MIGHT have a looooong attempt at an answer).

Thanks in advance.
