no internet connection

[dcj]

first (and only) "smart" phone (droidx). here because i lost internet connection. never happened before. looking for a place to view "basic settings" to ensure i didn't screw something up. guess i'll be checking forum post history to see if there's info already posted. maybe i'll learn something as a by-product; that'd be ok. dcj

did you just happen to drop connection?

You can try dialing *228 to update your phone to the tower.

maybe ... i'm trying that now.

guess that calls for a big ole "duh". thanks. i was skimming through "rooting" when i saw your reply. much easier. never lost service before (almost a year). i'll remember that.

probably could stand to learn more of the "basics". where on this site should i begin?

thanks again...appreciate.

Then there's the standard air plane mode or restarting your phone?

Nvm I see I lost that race.

Nope, no "duh" at all. Your phone is supposed to stay connected to a tower, but guess it "hiccuped" so you just needed to perform the update. Now if it happens more often then that could mean another problem...You should be fine though

That seemed weird, but I guess it's common, huh? Like I said; never happened before. Shut it off and restarted twice. Thought about pulling the battery...decided to ck for a forum first. Glad I did. I'll ck Dezy's sig link.

I wouldn't really say it's common, but it can happen. When I had my Incredible I did *228 every 3 months or so just in case.
