this update is a trainwreck. keeps switching itself back to Global mode and killing my battery life. is there any way to just force it into CDMA only? some kind of patch?

When I had my Pro, I accessed the hidden programming menu and I think I remember an option in there somewhere regarding EvDO and CDMA. Maybe try that out and see if it makes a difference. Go to stock dialer and dial ##PROGRAM and hit send. The password is 000000 (six zeroes). Be careful with that menu, not responsible for your device.

I physically removed the SIM and inserted in backwards. That way it is there if I ever need to go to Global, but the phone if forced to be in CDMA only until I physically switch it back around.

this won't hurt anything will it?

Oh nice, that's quite a simple fix. Thanks!

This is really strange but I cannot send texts if i remove my SIM card. It says "Text message not sent" even if I try to resend it. If I restart with the SIM card properly installed, texting works again. I am in CDMA mode the whole time.

Has anyone else noticed the slider is gone after you touch the top on off button, or have I changed some setting and turned it off?

You know, when you press the top button and then a screen appears where you have to slide your finger from right to left on the screen to open the home page.

You mean the unlock screen... works fine for me. You must have disabled it, it's a setting.

Actually, never mind, the option is to disable lock screen security, you should always be getting the lock screen unless you've rooted and installed something that disables it. I think. Anyone?

I'm not rooted, I've got a stock Pro with OTA Gingerbread.

This might sound obvious, but have you tried a battery pull reset?

Other than that, I have no idea. My lock screen works just fine and I haven't seen the issue reported by anyone else.
