I've been having alot of problems with the u720 and sprint software more specifically. There seems to be some sort of driver conflict but I honestly don't know enough about computers to figure out what exactly is wrong, let alone how to fix it. I installed the software and will connect, but then svchost.exe goes into some sort of loop and eats up all the processor. If I close that process befor hand it sometimes, sort of works for a while. Additionally, everytime I try to connect to some servers for gaming it closes the connection, then stops reconizing the device/reconizes the device back and forth about 3 times a second. It also seems to conflict with windows add hardware. If anyone could help. I'd really appreciate it.
I have the same problem with disconnecting and not recognizing the device. Only on my vista computor not the XP Did you ever find a cure?? Thanks Wayne
No, I ended up cancelling service. I don't exactly remember. But I updated to SP2, trimmed alot of useless programs that came with the computer downloaded and ran adaware se 6.0, hijackthis v2, and CCleaner. I shutdown alot of unecessary processes. That seemed to alieviate some of the problem with problems when browsing. However, I never was able to game effectivly. I hope this helps. I think I may have also played with firmware updates and versions, but don't recall which seemed to be optimum. Good luck, and I hope you figure it out. If so please let me know, I might give it another shot.
