I apologize if the 0.0.0.0 RTSP and HTTP PD proxy settings caused the data call error for some of you. Maybe someone could post the default Sprint proxy address and port numbers and let us know if reverting to the Sprint config resolves the data call error issue? It would be interesting to find out that these two settings could possibly be the cause for folks receiving this annoying error.

Also, removing or renaming the HtcDm.apk and HtcDm.odex files seem to have no affect on the error for me.

From what I've been able to determine, the data call failure errors come up:

1. nearly every time phone switches from 3G to WiFi

2. sporadically when in 3G mode if you don't have the "enable always-on mobile data" setting enabled in Mobile Network Settings

So regardless of your RTSP and HTTP PD proxy settings, you can almost totally avoid the error by enabling 3G and WiFi manually as needed (don't turn them both on) and also enable the 'always-on' setting for mobile data.

Any updates on MMS or VM notifications?

hello

do you have your phone with metropcs or cricket? and what rom are you using

???:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] louforgiveno:
I think it is the GTalkService process is what is causing the problem, trying to rename it now, we'll see
[EVO 4G Android Development] fritzel67:
Okay folks. I can vouch for opm's QCN file (which is a backup of his QPST settings). After applying his settings (using my account specific numbers where appropriate of course), I am now ERROR FREE! No more data call failure errors...woohoo! :D This also included leaving the RTSP and HTTP PD addresses set to all zeros (which is actually the correct setting anyway for Cricket or Metro)

So in summary...if you're getting data call failure errors....something in QPST isn't set correctly. Removing or renaming .apk and/or .odex files will not fix the error.

Now the final 2 challenges are MMS and VM notifications.
[EVO 4G Android Development] X-Kenshin-X:
ok i GOTTA ASK, have you guys heard of some new "unlimited html data plan" that cricket is offering for smartphones??

they told me at the cricket store that i don't have that plan on my phone, that i only have mobile web for slow phones... and that the data plan is $15 extra. and they implied that might be why i'm not getting 3G speeds...

but i've ALWAYS had 3G!! i had 3G speeds on my TP2, and i dunno wtf is wrong! i loaded opm's file, and it was pretty much very similar to mine, and after putting in my settings i still did not achieve 3G speeds...

maybe it's the list of APN's?? can i also get your APN backup file OPM please?

i am not sure what's wrong... but for some reason the proxy servers are capping my connection or something... because i get the 3G symbol on my phone and everything, but i just dont get that speed...

and the funny thing is my upload is fast, it's about 34KB/s, but my upload never surpasses 17KB/s
[EVO 4G Android Development] fritzel67:
The mobile web included on the $40/50 per month unlimited plans is 3G (EvDO Rev A) if your area supports it, and will drop down to 1xRTT if not. However the download speed on 3G is capped at 160kbps (20KB/s). The uploads are not capped and can range from 600kbps to over 800kbps (73KB/s to 98KB/s). These are EvDO speeds (meaning they are 3G). If they weren't, you would be limited to 1xRTT speeds which average between 50-100kbps (6KB/s to 12KB/s) for uploads and downloads. Think about it...this is one of the ways they are able to offer an unlimited plan so cheap. I'm really not sure how you might have been achieving faster speeds on your TP2 unless maybe something on your plan was different. This info has been hashed over on the forums and others have verified that Cricket's d/l on 3G is capped on their unlimited plans.

The $15 HTML plan simply removes the cap on the download side.

You can change all kinds of settings but the only thing that will improve your download speeds is to pay the extra $15. Have you tested your ping times with SpeedTest? If they are high (over 900ms) then something in QPST isn't configured correctly and that will affect your speeds a bit. Normal ping times should be below 200ms).

The default 3G speeds are fine with me...they even work fine for streaming audio (Pandora, NPR, etc) and GPS. If I want to stream video, I just connect to WiFi.
[EVO 4G Android Development] token419:
Not sure if this will work or not (i cant test, only have an eris) but i have a post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=730289

It contains my flash derived on the work of the members at hofo for the Eris to Cricket/MetroPCS/Revol

If someone has some free time go ahead and do a nandroid backup then flash a rooted rom and boot it, then apply my flash and install the autoboot application and let me know if it works after a reboot, if it does not work pm me or reply to my thread and ill create one specific for the Evo if there is a need/want.

I believe it should work by default because someone told me the interface on the evo is rmnet0 like on the eris, so everything should transfer right over.

And if it does work feel free to modify the first post and attach or link to the file so others dont have to dig and get all worked out in the first post, so they have free time to share back their creations with the community :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] X-Kenshin-X:
ugh this is going to be a pain in the ass, well guys just so everyone knows i found something badass and super useful!

go to the market and search "bandwidth" you should see an app for speedtest.net, download it, it's super useful, and helped me confirm what fritzel said.

my connection is indeed capped, because i first get a burst of about 50-70KB/s, and then it drops down to the capped 20KB/s, like he said...

well like i said before, when i got this service 4 years ago they said it already had 3G included, they never said anything about capping my service or none of that crap, so i'm going to go to their main branch and argue with them about this because they basically took away a service i already had... because i had about 2-3Mbps on my htc TP2... and this is BS

i'll let u guys know what happens. oh and by the way, so i got everything working now, no more errors either.

the "data error" is caused by the setting that says "Simple + Mobile IP" change it to "Simple IP Only" in QPST

great, but some of us already have it all working, would u happen to have one that just does the MMS part? with the telephony.db? thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] fritzel67:
:X-Kenshin-X

Great work on narrowing down the cause of the data call failure errors! I suspected that setting was the culprit, but I included some other changes that were in opm's QCN file so I couldn't be certain.

:token419

Good to see you staying active on the Cricket front! Many thanks for sharing this. Like X-Kenshin-X mentioned, we've pretty much got everything working, but your tool will make it easier for other folks if we can get it running on the Evo (and you were correct that the rmnet0 setting is the same on the Evo as on the Eris). So far my Evo works just as well on Cricket as my Eris did with the exception MMS. :(

The APN backup/restore configures the settings correctly on the MMS configuration settings screen, but it doesn't work. Technically the telephony.db option should work since that worked on the Sprint Hero, but I haven't heard of anyone who has verified their MMS is working on the Evo yet outside of using one of the paid solutions which currently rely on custom Cricket ROM's for the Evo.

Great job and many thanks to everyone on getting the EVO up and running on Cricket and Metro. I may compile a very clean and easy to read write-up of the solution once we get MMS working, and maybe even do a youtube video.

I'm lovin' this damn phone (it's like my previous Eris on steroids!) :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] X-Kenshin-X:
yeah no problem, there's a lot more people here contributing more than me, but for sure that is the cause of the error, i changed that setting, and it's all good now.

also, i need some help on configuring cricket to work with the uncapped internet, i went today to ask the guy from cricket to put the "evoke" html uncapped service on my phone. we were talking, and that guy has a flashed droid that he did himself on cricket, he has everything working like me too, but also has his internet capped at 20KB/s

i HAVE confirmed that the connection is indeed capped, because with the speedtest app i see a burst of 120KB/s, and then after 1 second it goes down to 20KB/s, so that's affirmative.

so my request here now is, i'll be your guinea pig for getting this to work! help me out and if you know any information on how to make the evo achieve full 3G speed with the uncapped "samsung evoke html plan"?

because i got the plan, but my speed is still capping out at 20KB/s, it's been over an hour since i did this, i have restarted my phone several times, and i still don't get full 3G speed, i have no idea what the culprit might be, but i think i might have to change some ip addresses in the QPST, or maybe in the M.IP tab, or the APN's, or the autostart file... i mean it could be several things, i don't know

so can we all work together to find out if there is a different IP address that i have to connect to, or a different username, or what exactly i have to do to get the full 3Mbps??

i have already called the main cricket line and they tell me to refresh my phone, and dial *228, and i do, it doesn't go trough (not needed since i have the right prl, i'm sure), but still the connection doesn't go beyond 20KB/s
[EVO 4G Android Development] killac93:
You have MMS working on EVO???? But you didn't say how. Care to share the solution with everyone else?
[EVO 4G Android Development] killac93:
Hey has anybody else seen that there is someone else claiming to have MMS going(user galza1978). Have not seen anything else on this just wanted to know if anyone else had seen his post.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fritzel67:
I PM'ed galza a few days ago requesting more info but haven't heard back. I'm somewhat skeptical that he actually has it working (but I would be pleasantly surprised if he did).

Btw...I got my voicemail notifications working by signing up with Google voice. I was on the old $40/mo plan with Cricket which did not include conditional call forwarding (required by Google voice) but Cricket's new $40/mo plan includes it so after switching plans all is good. I didn't sign up for a new GV number...just for Google voicemail attached to my existing number. I have to say it is GREAT! It even transcribes voicemails which I can then have routed to either SMS or Gmail (I prefer the latter as I can archive, sort & search them like emails). The GV solution should work for MetroPCS too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] X-Kenshin-X:
so does anyone know any info at all or if it's even possible to actually get full speed if you add the cricket "evoke" uncapped html plan to get full 3G speed over 1.5Mbps??
[EVO 4G Android Development] fritzel67:
Yes, if you add the $15 plan, the cap will be removed. But you won't get 1.5Mbps. Check with mainecrab on HoFo. He is on Cricket and has the HTML plan and I 'think' I remember him saying that he was getting like 600-700Kbps d/l speeds (again, the cap being removed will make your d/l speeds match your current u/l speeds).

I doubt you will get 1.5Mbps on any carrier (except 4G on Sprint). Check out this chart for comparisons...

http://www.pcworld.com/zoom?id=167391&page=1&zoomIdx=1
[EVO 4G Android Development] X-Kenshin-X:
4G is closer to 3-6Mbps, so over 400KB/s

my current upload speed is from 93KB/s - 133KB/s, and my download spikes up to 150KB/s right before it hits the cap and then drops instantly to 20KB/s...

and well i've had the $15 html thing on for over 6 hours now and the cap still hasn't gone away, how much longer could it take??

and also can u give a link to where he commented on this or something?

it seems my cap isn't being removed, or i don't know if i should change some settings... i didn't think i had to either.
[EVO 4G Android Development] token419:
Couple things

1. about web speed, from my understanding the speed is capped for the standard plans. To get the "HTML Data Plan" requires you to take your phone to a dealer and have them switch your phone to the Evoke, note you can have the HTML Data Plan on your account without an Evoke, but it will not stick.

2. Im working with Fretzel on getting the MMS working, anyone else is free to chime in as well. On the eris side i could not get MMS working in cyanogen, then Decadence pointed out a solution.

You may check your build.prop file and verify that the carrier is set properly to cricket, which should be 310016, when i set that in my build.prop on the eris i got MMS, once the Database is correct, via apnbackup and restore or whatnot.

When we get this figured out ill have a nice zip flash custom made for your phone, or someone can modify what i have built already, just so long as it stays in the community :)

Also those of you using the u2nl file floating around that whiterabbit compiled awhile back for the droid may want to check his site whiterabbit.org, there is a test u2nl out that will kill itself off properly, the version floating around leaves quite a few processes open if you check top or ps from terminal.

Anyways hope we can have it working soon, unfortunately i dont have a EVO but ill throw out any info i can to help.

My guess though currently is the build.prop file needs to be set to cricket, and that HTC has included the APN in their messaging app, i know on HTC roms on the eris its embedded somewhere in the OS, i havent found it yet though. which is why i now get around it by modifying the telephony.db with sqlite3 in my flash since it seems to work on HTC and Cyanogen roms on the eris.
[EVO 4G Android Development] X-Kenshin-X:
Thanks for that reply, i do have the evoke plan, some guy at a smaller cricket location added to my account yesterday.

He also flashes androids and was interested in seeing what speed i could get...

By the way why do u say it doesnt stick?

Sent from my HTC Evo on Cricket!
[EVO 4G Android Development] killac93:
LOL. I did the same thing and haven't heard a whisper since. If he had a solution I think he would have posted it already, especially since he was bashing the others morons trying to sell the solutions. I don't know, just smells fishy to me....
[EVO 4G Android Development] X-Kenshin-X:
guys just try doing the quick replacing of the telephony.db file, i'm sure that should get your MMS working
[EVO 4G Android Development] chavonbravo:
MMS does work on the Evo. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] token419:
Oh i was just saying that for it to stick, from what i recall, you need to have your phone listed as an evoke in your account, not customer provided equipment, otherwise if they manually add the HTML Data Plan to your account, when the system checks, and your phone is not an evoke, the HTML Data Plan stops working.

Thats my understanding at least. I have never done it, but researched up on it awhile back when i was contemplating it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] token419:
Awesome, what all did you do to get it working?
[EVO 4G Android Development] X-Kenshin-X:
well when i called them i told them i had an evoke...

well yesterday they accidentally cut my service because they forgot to give me the free month if i paid my 3 months in advance, today in the morning i called again to make sure they had on their html that i had an evoke, the guy said he added the data plan, but i still don't have internet access...

they also mentioned something about a blackberry plan, i'm going to try to go see if that one works...

NEWS

Hey guys to everyone out there on cricket today you should've noticed that your internet no longer works. they might be doing it by states or nationwide, i am not sure, all i know is today they changed the prl file and also the ip address of the proxy server.

so far i was told to get the internet working again what you had to do was ping wap.mycricket.com in adb shell.

this is the new ip address: 10.132.25.254, and they told me to put it in the autostart.sh file

so there's all the info... i hope this solves your internet woes, if anyone had any.

other scoop:

the reason why they did this is because august 6 the new blackberries for cricket will be released and they'll have their own server, and also they'll be releasing a data plan exclusively for cricket devices.

i was unable to get any details on the performance but pricing is estimated at an extra $15/mo

Ok, i am having problems.... and i hope someone can help me

I have a EVO on metro in south FL. My area is a 1x only area... no EVDO

I have a working phone with voice and text, but NO internet at all (except for WIFI)

Here is what i did:

-Flashed the phone with OMJ 1.8...

-Had the phone flashed at the metro store for metro...

-Followed the instructions on the first page of this thread...DONE

-Followed SYNTAXXXs instructions about autostart and u2nl....DONE

-Followed the Howard forum guide for HTC Eris...DONE

Still dont work.

Now when i start up the browser, it says its trying to connect to 3G. How do i set it for 1x?

When i read the phone in QPST, the NAI password is not their. Should i be able to see it?

Now i have flashed a few Winmo phones for metro, so i am not a total noob.... i just some out of the box thinking to help me out.

EDIT!!!

WTF!!!!!!! I can browse the market, gmail, weather updates, speedtest.net @ 19kbps (LOL) but STILL NO WEB BROWSER!!!! ARRGGGG

if you followed the guides you shoulda been good tho' (are you using the right password for your phone) try the old "metropcs" password

[EVO 4G Android Development] fritzel67:
Did you use the updated proxy IP address in your autostart.sh file? Also, open the browser click on more then settings and clear the cache.

Since you are in a 1xrtt market, make sure the evdo>1xrtt checkbox in QPST is checked. Also in QPST make sure you are set to simply ip only.

Also be sure that on the M.IP tab in QPST, only profiles 0 and 1 are enabled, and that they are identical.

I had a similar problem with my Hero. I tried taking it to Best Buy where I bought it and the lady said to insert and remove the headset plug repeatedly until the problem went away.
