[Xoom General] Blaisun:
looking for some real world insight. looking at getting the WIFI only xoom, and tethering to my milestone, but am hearing issues with high battery consumption on the phone.

Bluetooth is supposed to be more friendly to the battery than WIFI, are you experiencing longer runtimes on Bluetooth vs WIFI tether?

if so how much approx? ~10%, 25% 50%??????????

Thanks

ok whats the PRL number? just curious as i have 31400 right now. PLUS you dont have to have the $55 dollar plan, if you did alot of trial and error you would know this also. just use this if your on a $45 plan like i am and everything works just fine...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=730289

Nice writeUp Also but i can swear with the exceptions of a few different words its just the same of THIS GUIDE! YOU DIDNT SEARCH REALLY AT ALL DID YOU! this one provided has pictures, and a written tutorial also.

prl number is 4399 and I did see that guide but he never clarified where the MIN went. Notice I had commented on problems I had before figuring it out. I clarified the steps needed and included a working .qcn file to keep it simple and easy. So you dont need the pictures:rolleyes:

Yes but if you use the $45 dollar plan web/mms dont stay if you flash a different rom. This will. However in gingerbread roms mms will stop working. I will post a fix to that soon.

you have to go in with root explorer and actually install the mms.apk you dropped to replace the one you deleted, then restart and it comes back :-D

So, my phone is 100% in Sense roms, but I still can't get MMS to work in an AOSP rom (cm6 or cm7).

I used CM7 for the past week or so and was really liking it, but no MMS is a deal breaker for me. Turns out I send and receive a lot of pictures.

The fixes in this post didn't do anything for me. Who has actually gotten MMS working in Gingerbread(or CM7) with an Evo and Cricket? What am I doing wrong? Could there be something wrong in my flash preventing it?

In Sense roms I simply import my configured APN and voila it works. That doesn't seem to work in CM7. I've gone in and manually edited the APN settings directly on the phone (voice search for "open APNs"), changed them, and nothing.

I have my evo flashed and everything is working fine.... mostly.... my phone says its connected to 3g, and i have downloaded several speed tests from the market, and the speeds im coming up with are no where near 3g. ive figured how how to tweak other roms to make everything work with them on criket, and have flashed quite a few of the froyo aswell as gingerbread variety. anything with sense on it will say 3g, only because it turns out sense doesnt 1xevdo written into it at all, so when you recieve 1xevdo it comes up as"3g". any rom ive flashed that has launcher claims im connected to 1xevdo, and 3g never comes up. but i do indeed get web service... it just sucks balls.

proxy settings are wap.mycricket.com password 8080, apn set accordingly... i tried many things and havnt a single clue

other than the fact that im on the 45 dollar plan.... cricket claims the 45 dollar plan comes with 3g. do i need to upgrade to get actual 3g speeds? i used to have the ascend, a way ****tier phone, and the 3g speeds on that with the 55 dolla plan were murrrrrdering what im getting right now. apps like fring qik or any other video chat says network speed too slow to function.

so is the 10 dollas the difference, or am i missing something?
[EVO 4G Android Development] JakeDiMarco:
also...

did the ##data# edit advanced options deal

i changed rtsp proxy port to 8080

rtsp proxy address 0.0.0.0

http pd proxy port 8080

http pd proxy address 0.0.0.0

i may have changed too much here? any which ways it didnt effect anything, still seem to be on 1xevdo. im getting the signal claiming to be "3g" sloooowwwwly, but steadily

First of all I am sorry for the late reply. I no longer have internet where I live. @Deathsled *bows down* I am not worthy :D but I suggest you try a fresh flash (of the rom) and do it again. It worked for me as of yesterday running rc3(I flashed back to sprint(I like 4g)) @JakeDiMarco Crickets 3g is slow... I had and average download rate of 15 k/bps. That is the main reason I went to sprint. @hbfreekwan what version of Windows are you running?

@sourie what exactly isn't working?

Having 3g icon issues and Not receiving all incoming calls

Ive been searching for why this is happening but cant seem to find anything. Hoping someone can help me figure out why this is happening.

Ok so after I flashed to cricket on my evo I don't have a 3g icon. It shows up every few minates but only for a few seconds. Not even long enough to even tell if its connecting or not. I've tried different roms and its the same on everyone.

There is also another issue with receiving phone calls...half the time the call goes directly to voicemail. What the heck is this issue about?

Any direction or advise would be much appritiated!

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
So sorry for the waaay late reply but I suggest re-flashing the phone according to the instructions. Had the same issue and I re did everything and then it worked correctly. I no longer have an EVO so pm me if you need more help.

Double check the APN file to make sure the phone number is right.

What Rom are you using? It's a pain to get mms working on non-sense roms too.

Cricket requires you pay them now!? Question!

Problem at step 1...

1) Call cricket and set up the plan, have them program the phone into their system(Make sure to mention that you have a flashed phone) and get your MIN/MDN numbers from them you will need them. Then Install msl reader to get your msl. Write it down.

I called and talked to 3 different people, and haven't been successful yet.. Maybe I'm saying something wrong?

Conversation went like this each time.

Me: I have a flashed Sprint phone that I would like to setup with Cricket.

Cricket: You need to go to a cricket store or authorized retailer, and you need to have them flash it for you.

Me: I already have it flashed, you just need to program my phone in your system.

Cricket: It's not fully flashed then, and you still need to go into a cricket store, and pay $75 to get it flashed.

Wtf! Why do they keep telling me I need to go INTO a store and pay for this to happen?

I have 2 EVO 4G's with bad ESN #, and I wanna flash to cricket. Any advice is helpful.
[EVO 4G Android Development] n0b0di:
First don't tell them its a flashed phone until after you give them the ESN. Once you do that they know anyways. If you have Cricket you tell them you need an ESN change. If you don't you need to activate or hook up a phone on Cricket. The hard part will be getting them to put you on the Android plan. Took me 10 calls of threatening to leave Cricket. They wanted me to buy a Cricket Android phone to get on the Android plan. To which I responded "Hell no, they all suck!" Kinda pisses them off, which is surprising cause what does some guy half way around the world in Malaysia or India care. He gets paid to follow the flow chart your responses takes him thru. When you say flashed phone. The screen says send them to a store to deal with them. But if you wait until he asks you after he put the esn# into the system and it doesn't come back with a model they know its not a Cricket phone and ask if its flashed. Then its too late. Your account is set up with at least the $45 plan and they read you the script about how they don't guarantee service on flashed phones.

Actually at this point I have no problems just dialing *22804 and having OTA program it and for MMS after the phone restarts dial ##3282# and change the mms server url under Advanced to http://mms.mycricket.com/servlets/mms.

That's what has worked for me with a few Eris, 2 EVOs, Moto Droid. Moto you have to change apn but both EVOs you can even change the settings for MMS in the app on some ROMs

[EVO 4G Android Development] Raytaka1222:
Someone please help. I have my Evo 4G flashed to cricket but I have no data.

Please help!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] n0b0di:
What plan are you on? Android, $45 or other. Android plan users should have no trouble at all with data provided the account was provisioned properly at Cricket. Easiest way to tell is log into your account online at mycricket.com and see what they got for you. For some reason that site doesn't lie about what your phone is allowed to do. I have had customer service tell me several times on different phones on different accounts (friends) that its the flashed phone and not their problem. If your account doesn't say data or unlimited pic messaging or anything else you want to do and are supposed to be able to do call back and get someone else. Its a pain in the butt dealing with Cricket but eventually you get someone stateside and they say "What the? when they look at the account". By the end of that call you're usually want to send the CSR a Xmas card cause they fixed it.

I have been dealing with them since them since like 2001 so 10 years now with flashed phones and its a pain but no other service will give you everything for <$60 like they do

[EVO 4G Android Development] craven667:
whats metro's data info
[EVO 4G Android Development] n0b0di:
But is it the Android plan or just a little known plan called $55 plan. They did that to me at first. If your account online doesn't mention Android and just says $55 plan your SOL on data until they change it or you use autostart and run the work around script that was originally written for the Eris. I think?
[EVO 4G Android Development] zoofer:
I want to do the same thing with my two rooted Evo 4Gs, except I need to port the phone numbers from Sprint to Cricket.

Like you I don't need cellular data, just phone and text capability.

I'm guessing I would have to buy two of the cheapest Cricket phones, set up the $25 PayGo accounts using the ESNs from those phones to port the numbers from Sprint to Cricket, then do an ESN change to the Evos after everything was set up. Of course I would LOVE to avoid buying new phones that I have no intention of ever using, but I can't think of any other option, especially since I don't live within a few hours drive of a Cricket dealer.

Any other ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

zoofer
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Its frowned upon but you could use the esn from any junk cdma non android phone
[EVO 4G Android Development] n0b0di:
No cloning esn is necessary. Just call cricket and start service up. on the phone you just change the prl and sid/nid to your area. They love hooking up new service just call them tell the machine you want new service or activate phone and give esn and whatever calling plan you want. (Android is difficult to get without cricket esn). If you dont want data they dont care and will get you on cricket talk/text. just flash with cricket prl and call cricket customer service.

internet running fast as can be. 3g works great. been flashing roms left and right. once i setup everything using ?qspt? it has stuck for every rom i have installed. I have fone around 20 different roms. most of the stock mms apps allow you to change the proxy servers and ports, but I don't use the stock ones myself. go sms pro does more and allows you to change the mms independently from the stock app. this is my second Android. The first was the junk zio and the evo blows my old zio away.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jlmancuso:
Been using the merge rom and my voicemail notifications work no need for aftermarket app. Also on the ics alfa they show up, but don't recommend that rom it is far from ready yet!
[EVO 4G Android Development] n0b0di:
sure. Move it where ever you want. I've dealt with those fools following their little flowchart on the screen so many times you learn how to navigate their system. When you call Cricket Cust Serv most of the time you will get Bob (who must have just flown in from Bangladesh and can't tell you where he is) and all Bob does is follow a flowchart on a computer screen. He asks a question and you answer and he clicks on the closest answer on his screen and a new screen and question comes up. I will say one thing though they new IVR at least lets them know if your calling about someone elses phone. It took how many years for them to realize that if I'm having an issue with my phone chances are I might not be calling from it.

Unlike other providers Cricket does not require you to purchase a data plan. They just want your money and as many people's money as possible. You don't want data fine don't get it. You could put the baddest latest phone that can do anything and everything imaginable on the cheapest plan they got if you just want talk/text. Hell you don't even need to get voicemail if you don't want.

Tell them you want to move from "Provider X" to Cricket but I need to keep my phone #. They should say "OK. Sir/Ma'am I can help you with that today." Only 2 reasons Cricket will not hook up a phone. 1) Its a GSM phone. 2) You somehow managed to have a phone the is Cricket already with a bad esn .ie a phone already flashed and hooked up to Cricket and reported lost or stolen or a Cricket phone lost or stolen.

This being that it has already been a Cricket customer and so you are in essence not giving them new business is what they want

Non-Sprint ROMS will work when it comes to voicemail notification. Something to do with the way Sprint handles it with visual voicemail as best I can tell. Any of the ported ROMS from like Runnymede, Sensation, and etc will have functioning voicemail notification but mms is a little tougher to get around sometimes

Can someone please help me, I bought my gf an Evo fully flashed to cricket and then since I have an Evo on Sprint thought I could start flashing different roms on it. First Synergy then Energy neither of then worked right... Long story short the phone just bootloops. I just restored it back to the rom it came with and it still bootloops. I am like devastated.

[EVO 4G Android Development] MX51:
Sup guys, I have never had this happen to me before, hopefully I can get some feedback on this. I have an HTC Evo 4g that I flashed to cricket using the tutorial here on xda. The thing here is that when I try to do *228 it will just cut off, can't hear the "welcome to cricket" message. I tried 611 and it gives me an error saying "call orignination attempt fails due to an immediate signal loss( signal fade or no service available)". But here is the weird thing, I am able to use Data services on phone as well as MMS. The esn hasn't been activated yet and I am able to use the internet on that phone. How is this possible? if I activate the esn will it let me make calls? Don't know if the rules have changed at all as far as the *228, *22804 and 611 commands go. Haven't been able to hear the "welcome to cricket" guy come up. Can anyone help?
