The most likely answer if you are in the USA is that you have your network setting set to "Global". Set it to "1XEV" -- pretty much most metro areas in the USA can default to that setting without the same struggle. To do this, follow these steps:
- Go to options (wrench icon)
- Go to Mobile Network
- There are 3 settings; mobile network, network selection mode and network technology. If the button for Network Technology says Global or GSM/UMTS -- select 1XEV.
- Recycle the device.
This should clear up the maddening recycling issue!
