Default Unlocked Storm 2 -software issue stopping calls/texts

Hi All,

Any help is much appreciated here. I unlocked my Storm 2 only to discover that I could connect to the 3G network but could not call or text or recieve calls or texts. I then updated the OS to the latest version and it was all good in the hood. Something random has happened and I'm back to square 1 again with no ability to call, text or recieve calls or texts but I can access the internet?!

Desperate to get this all working so any help is much appreciated!!!!

Suzi

Yeah it doesn't make a difference unfortunatley. I updated the OS to the latest firmware and the phone worked fine for about 12 hours then it's decided to not phone/text or recieve calls/texts again.

Anyone know where I can get the files for Pre 5.0 firmware?

Thanks in advance.

There are none. The Storm2 shipped with OS 5.

Re-installing the OS solved the issue for about 12 hours......then once again my calls and texts stopped, data is fine. When I first turned the phone on it said GSM.....when I changed to 2g in the network settings it makes no difference. Sent service book and registered etc but no luck. Any registry settings I can change??

Cheers,

Suz
