First you have to change your phone from 'Customer Provided Equipment', to '

M6000

' which is the Zio phone. The '

ADR Smartphone

' plan is only available to the Zio, so until that change is made you won't get on the new plan.

When they make the change they receive errors saying you're using an improper phone, one that doesn't match the serial number properly. So you have to convince somebody to lie to their system and override the error codes.

The hard part of the process is getting somebody smart enough to understand the process and nice enough to go through with it. Good Luck, I hope this helps.

Android Data Speeds and 3G problem on EVO

Hey guys I am having a few issues related to my 3g and thought you all might be able to give some guidance. I am not sure if they are all related or separate issues.

First issue. 3G Data Speed

I have flashed the jiminy rom, removed the autostart, fought with every ingorant cricket rep I could and finally got my plan changed to the cricket ADR SmartPhone plan, and everything appears to be working for internet access now. When I test my speeds I am still only getting around 120Kb down and 30K up??

I have reset and verified all my settings in qpst, and am not sure what other files or settings may be effecting the data connection. I don't know if any of the additional issues I'm having will shed any light on the problem....

Second Problem

If I have my 3G turned on at all, I can not receive phone calls (all calls go straight to my voicemail). I have checked to make sure that DDTM is off (although If I understand correctly this shouldn't effect 3G data?)

Third Issue

I can view and edit my settings in EPST (##data#), but when I try to "commit changes" I get an error regarding no radio, and that it can't enter low power mode. (i will get the exact error if needed). I notice that as soon as I try to commit the changes my radio icon goes grey and has no signal.

If any one has ANY suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. THANKS!
[Droid Eris General] pkopalek:
In your PST settings, there is something called 1x Diversity. This needs to be true.

The problem could also lie in your settings.

Get AnyCut from market.

On a Home screen, long-press, choose Shortcut > AnyCut > Activity > CDMA Options (the first one, there may be a few).

Then click that shortcut, and choose your mode of operation to be HYBRID.

Either THAT's the problem, or again 1x diversity in your PST settings, is my best guess.

##778 is a good place to do PST. You need to get your MSL from Sprint for that phone if you don't already have the password.
[Droid Eris General] leettech:
pkopalek,

THANK YOU!!. I have had this evo on cricket with multiple roms and have been plagued with this problem since I first flashed it. I remember a while ago trying to use anycut to view the cdma options but the rom I was using then would FC everytime I tried to access it. I went ahead and tried and sure enough, it was on EVDO only. Switched it to hybrid and 3g speed immediately jumped to around 400kb.

And I just tried and FINALLY getting calls now while on the 3G. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the tip. If you had a donate button I would donate. Better yet, drinks are on me next time I'm in NY!

So far this seems to have solved most of the issues I was dealing with. I still can't "Commit Changes" in epst but not as big of a deal now... except for my "USB Charging" is disabled and not sure if I can enable that anywhere else.

O.K. so I do have one more issue that hasn't been a huge deal but now that I can finally get some decent 3g speed I may utilize the gps a bit more. Heres the problem:

GPS has always had major problems with any rom i use. This rom appears to be best but still not usuable. I am able to pick up satellites (average of 2 -4) but never at a "green" signal strength (using gps test app to monitor status). It occosianlly gets a lock but the position is WAY off and it thinks I'm moving at around 400MPH. I don't know if it would be related or not but one other glitch I have noticed since I have had the evo is that there is a problem in the Date/Time settings. I have it set for network detection and it does got the right time, but it always detects the wrong time zone (-4 when it should be -5). I know the gps uses time to detect position and don't know if this could be causing the problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Again THANK YOU for solution to my original problem. I can finally enjoy my evo on cricket!
[Droid Eris General] pkopalek:
What does the app 'Just GPS' say about your speed, and # of satellites?

I'd try another ROM if your GPS is all over the place. That won't have anything to do with Cricket.
[Droid Eris General] mrpsychogreaser:
Hey everyone,

I still have had no luck getting mms and web to work. I'm stubborn in taking it to someone, though I have litterally read hundreds of posts pertaining to flashing this phone (5 days worth of reading for at least 4 hours a night, no where close to giving up as I want to LEARN how everything works).

I am having no luck transfering to android plan over the phone with cricket. I am on the 4th call I believe. On the $55 all in plan and they have me listed as using a motorola razor (?) MOTOROLA Z6MM...though I am positive they had me on the android plan for a day (account reverted some how?)

I have a rooted 2.2 droid 2 flashed with cyanogen mod rev 3. I followed the instructions on flashing the phone from this thread a thread on this forum (originally from HoFo) and I was able to complete most of the process except for when it came to using QPST (phone failed to answer).

I was able to edit settings using phone commands manually and changed info pertaining to (mynumber@mycricket.com....mms...etc.).

My understanding is that even on the $45 plan with data...I should be able to use data (while slower) with my phone...but I can't.

Calling and text messages work perfectly...just no web...no mms. I hate to sound like a NOOB but I AM A NOOB to ANDROID phones.

I have tried deleting autostart/u2nl to no avail. I would appreciate any help whatsoever in helping to illuminate my path to android mastery. Thank you.
[Droid Eris General] X-Kenshin-X:
wow i've been looking for this for a while, i've been ON the cricket plan for over 2 months now, but i've NEVER been able to get my MMS working!

my 3G and market, apps everything already works fine with u2nl and autostart, but obviously since i'm on the cricket plan i shouldn't need it... but if i go and delete my u2nl and autostart files, my internet stops working...

so what exactly do i have to change in my phone to make everything work again without the need for routing and stuff?

i think it might have to do something with changing my APN's and my telephony.db file or something, but there is no clear instructions to what it is that needs to be done... all the instructions seem to be related to "not" having the cricket android plan, and HAVING to use the autostart and u2nl files...

any help please?:confused:
[Droid Eris General] zoydberg:
when you go to mycricket.com, it must say your on the "ADR Smartphone All In $55" plan, if it doesn't say that, you're not on the Android plan. Believe me, it's a pain in the ass to get switched over, I work for cricket and it still took forever. They might tell you your on the Android plan, but if you remove autostart and you get no internet, that's the exact issue. Once on, just do a *228 for most settings, for the APN, there should be a apn sample script, you just need to change your number i believe. then use apn backup/restore to write to the phone, and mms should work.

Also checkout thread 730289 page 39 for more info on this issue
[Droid Eris General] tech-9:
For your Incredible you need the EVO mms.apk .. lol .. and for the Hero .. you need to flash it over to a custom Android ROM as it needs to have all the google apps / android market set-up without it you will not get the results you want. The New Android Plan is a lot faster and it is easier to set-up..
[Droid Eris General] tech-9:
First off .. you can't use cyanogen on cricket and have mms working .. if you do run and tell me!!! :) 2nd you need to have a cricket rom installed, you can get it to work with token's method on the $45 plan, however if you are on the $55 All in Plan .. you need to have them change your handset which is next impossible .. it needs to say Kyocera m6000 .. and then just change the APN. I am not to certain about your Droid but this is how my EVO is set... check ztahoez thread for help on changing your handset .. there is a few guys there that can change it for you.
[Droid Eris General] tech-9:
If you are already on thge $55 Android Plan and your handset is set to Kyocera m6000 ... you can proceed to ztahoez or deatsled's thread for a custom cricket rom plus instructions on how to easily set-up your EVO on cricket.
[Droid Eris General] tech-9:
Sorry everybody ... My advice works on htc evo only ... That i know of .. I didn't see the thread is for the eris .. Really sorry
[Droid Eris General] X-Kenshin-X:
good news guys, when i first posted here, i was SUPPOSED to have the cricket plan, but it did not go trough, NOW i have it, and it says online i have a kycera M6000, and i do have the droid adr data plan.

NOW i erased u2nl, and autostart and all works great and super fast. one thing that is still not working is my MMS. i'm using damagecontrol ROM 3.2.1 which is froyo based.

i have already changed my APN's multiple times, i've gone to the telephony file myself multiple times and double checked it's values, it seems there is a LOT of different telephony files going around for cricket. i think people just don't have the right mms servlets address on there or something... can anyone help??
[Droid Eris General] gijoey1980:
I've been following this for a while now. I am doing some testing as well and no luck yet.

For anyone that needs their plan change to the m6000 zio and the phone model as well email me and I will get it done for you without problems, no charge. Please understand I run a store so it could take me an hour or so to get it done but it will get done.
[Droid Eris General] Mr1337:
Thank You for offering your services to those that need them.
[Droid Eris General] mr_joe:
+1 thanks for that!
[Droid Eris General] telepheedian:
I just got on this plan (first time user) at a local 3rd party store, and am having problems activating using *228 on my Droid Incredible. I can't get online to verify my account because I can't receive texts yet on my service. I made sure all of the PST settings are set correctly, and have a cricket PRL (tried both the Zio one, and 01042.prl). It's been a couple of hours since I purchased the service. Every time I call *228, I get the cricket activation message, then shortly afterwards a message that programming failed. Am I being impatient with service activation, or am I doing something wrong? I also tried setting the MDN and MIN manually and separately, most guides only have you put in the MDN.
[Droid Eris General] pkopalek:
You actually have to put in both the MDN and MIN, according to Ryan Mogul's PST settings thread (google it, it's in this forum).

You're SO close.

You actulaly DON'T NEED to *228. That will just update your PRL file. To activate your phone, go to (or call) a cricket store. They will get your Serial number (or scan it with a barcode, same thing) and charge you $15. Then your phone's serial number will work on Cricket. No need for *228.

I've never gotten it to work on an Eris, and programmed it LOTS of times. Just have all your ##778 settings just right.

And don't use ANY OLD PRL's.

Just use 32100 or 42100 or 32000 or 30700. Here's a link to 32100 (which my gf has been using for months). Unzip it, and use it:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=387203&d=1282666013

They all use virtually ALL of Sprint's network now, and there's no need for any of those old ones, or *228.
[Droid Eris General] telepheedian:
Ryan's guide seemed to get text and talk working, and I also seem to have data, but the data moves incredibly slowly, on 3g or on 1x (we're talking 800ms pings, dl/ul speeds of between 1 and 100). I am in a low reception area, but the HTC Hero I have here seems to be doing everything just fine, on Sprint's network (it appears the incredible I'm using is on that same tower, but I can't be sure). Anything I'm missing other than that?

EDIT: using PRL 32100, and I've tried switching the CDMA operation mode to hybrid, it never seems to stick, every time I go back to that menu, it reverts to EVDO Only. 1X Diversity, however, is turned on.

EDIT 2: I've basically figured out I'm having the same issue that leettech was having, only I can't change the CDMA Operation mode, because it always seems to revert back to EVDO Only. Anybody heard about that?
[Droid Eris General] telepheedian:
Well, good news, it appears that cricket now officially supports this, without having your phone changed to the zio. I had everything set up, except I had an issue with call forwarding (still haven't figured it out, but whatever) ANYWAYS, I headed over to the store and they said that they now have an option for a CPE Android device, and that maybe switching to it would solve my problem. Right now, it shows I have a CPE Android as my device, and my service hasn't changed at all, still working without proxy. I'll attach a screenshot of mycricket here in a minute.

EDIT: Here is the screen:

Sent from my Droid Incredible using Cricket
[Droid Eris General] pkopalek:
There's no problem with 32100 or any of those related. It's not a PRL situation, I'd bet!

Are you saying the problem is solved now?

If not, take a Screenshot of each of your PRL settings when you type ##778, and email them to me. I'll help.
[Droid Eris General] telepheedian:
Yep, problem was solved, I forgot to update the original post, sorry. Thanks a lot for the help! And knowing about the CPE Android OS phone option should help other users get in on this much more easily.
[Droid Eris General] pkopalek:
Just so people know when they call in, CPE stands for "customer provided equipment"

And btw when you open Mode of Operation, it's not actually REVERTING to EVDO only, that's just the default choice, so the bubble is filled in. even if you hit 1x only and verify you're on that 1x network, you'll have to choose 1x only again when you hit that dialogue.
[Droid Eris General] telepheedian:
I was freaking out about the EV-DO thing, but I noticed it started working properly, so I stopped worrying about it. Good to have an explanation there.
[Droid Eris General] beastmods:
i could use some help with an evo.

got it on 55 plan and everything except data works.

not sure what to do.

beastmods@gmail.com gtalk or email
[Droid Eris General] pkopalek:
gtalk or email me, brother

pkopalek@gmail.com

Did you install Autostart from Market?

Over wifi? or adb? If you didn't install Autostart from Market, and reboot the phone, this whole flash won't do much. Talk/text will work if you have your PST settings right. And if you have an EV icon at the top, you probably got them right.

If you don't have an EV icon at the top, I'd start by taking screenshots of your PST settings. I use ShootMe (free from the Market, if you can get to it on WiFi or something), and hit ##778 and take a screenshot of each PST setting you changed, (Security, NAM settings, M.IP Default Profile, etc). If there's an error here, I will find it for you 100%. Again, get at me on gtalk or Gmail any time.
[Droid Eris General] benjammnaz:
I know someone is going to yell at me for posting this, but I'm tired of fishing through these posts for PST settings on a Eris /w Cricket Android plan. A simple listing of all the settings would be really helpfull for me. So if anyone has the Eris on Cricket Android plan and is working right please do me a favor and post what you're using for rom and PST settings that are used to. I am using xtraSense rom...pretty sure it is latest one.

Thanks to all your efforts guys on getting this figured out so ppl can enjoy their phones on Cricket.
[Droid Eris General] benjammnaz:
DOH!

Doh!...helps if you turn on the mobile networks, everything works fine now. Cheers
[Droid Eris General] chris.ana25:
Could any one help me out please. My new flashed Droid is really slow. Could it be that they probly didn't flash it right or something. I can get apps browserand all that but just to download 1 app that was 1mb took my phone 30 min to download. I no that's not right. Crickets internet speed is not that slow. Could it be my prl file or something. On the top of my screen it shows a 1x next to the signal strenght. Here some screen shots please help me out guys.
[Droid Eris General] jenisiz:
I'm completely lost. I followed the directions for changing over my fascinate. I have talk and text but in qpst my settings keep reverting back to the vrz3g settings on verizon while keeping my min and number information before the @. It just seems to drop the mycricket.com part. I'm not getting any service and I've enabled both profiles and made sure that both had the exact same things stated on the instructions (I also disabled the dial up option). Cricket says my plan was updated and that it should be working...I'm so lost.
[Droid Eris General] jenisiz:
Just a heads up, if anyone is trying to activate their droid to cricket make sure it's on the android plan not the cpe-android one. It has to be specifically recognized as an Cricket Android phone on one of their plans. If not, you'll only get talk and text. I made the mistake of telling the truth and now I have a 400 fascinate that only gets talk and text. I have the 3g icon showing but it's my understanding that b/c it's not labeled as an Authorized Cricket Android I will not be able to use it's full features. Cricket should publish something about this. I'm sure they're aware, but I didn't want a cuss zio or huwai I wanted something with a quick processor...anybody figure out a work around?
[Droid Eris General] pkopalek:
Either something's off with your PST settings, re-check them ALL

or

there's no 3g reception in your area (Sprint sucks - if you're using the 32100 or higher PRL)

or

you're not using a 3xxxxx PRL, you're using a 1xxx PRL the 1 stands for 1x, the 3 stands for 3g. Make sure you're using 32100 or higher for a PRL.

One of those 3 scenarios is the case.
[Droid Eris General] digivox:
Does anyone have the capability to change an Android account to list the phone as a Zio M6000 (work for Cricket, have friend who works for Cricket, etc.)?

I PM'd gijoey1980 a few days ago (he posted offering to do it for anyone), but I haven't heard from him (it's been 3 days).

I've also called Cricket support multiple times, but they're not helpful.
[Droid Eris General] pkopalek:
There are r reports of cricket bring able to put your phone as customer provided android equipment.

I assume they're not letting you?
[Droid Eris General] killa619:
Data (evdo) does not work on my wifes droid flashed to cricket...i have a feeling thay it has to do with the APN settings.every time you open the internet it has a proxy setting saying something with verison and no evdo even in notification bar.....can someone help a poor noobie???
[Droid Eris General] digivox:
I took the time to head into a corporate store yesterday. He said an M6000 is listed on my account. I'll take his word for it as the web interface (my account on mycricket.com) lists "CPE- Smartphone- Android OS".

Either way, my data speeds are still slow (reason I was attempting to get my account to list M6000 in the first place; thought it may help). I get about 75kbps download and 100kbps upload despite having full signal. I'm in Portland, OR.
[Droid Eris General] pkopalek:
Yeah on the non-android plan (plain old mobile web) through the proxy, my gf's phone doesn't really get over 30-40k/sec download speed.

If you're getting 75k, that's probably OK. Still slow, but it's Cricket.

IMHO, by the time you're spending $50+, it's worth spending the rest and going to Sprint or a baseline Verizon plan.

I'd put my gf on my family plan, except we're out of lines. I download at 120k-180k/sec all of the time. 6 seconds per megabyte is not uncommon.
[Droid Eris General] dkranes:
I got a Droid X and did the whole thing - root, ROM, cdma workshop, qpst, apn, u2nl & autostart, etc. Called *611, explained I had a new phone, was totally honest about it being a VZW Droid X. The rep was super-helpful. He put me on the Cricket All-In $55 plan and my phone is listed as CPE - Smartphone - Android OS. I'm NOT on the Android plan. Did a *228 and everything works. Web, Market, Txt, Talk, MMS, Apps. My PRL is 32400, in Charlotte NC area. Running the Speedtest.net app I consistently (over the course of two weeks) get around 600-1000kbps download and around 800-1100kbps upload.

I read through this thread and am intrigued whether I would get better performance if I switch my plan to the Android $55 plan....but I'm not sure I want to tinker with things since everything is working.

Edit: seems that MMS is flaky - works sometimes and not others. For some reason smaller pics are more likely to go through than larger ones like pics from the camera.
[Droid Eris General] BluntNStunt:
I ran into the same problem, my cricket plan said CPE HTML phone and the regular reps WOULD NOT change it, I simply asked for the android smartphone dept. and they will!! Thx :)

EDIT EDIT

My speeds are .8mbs down and .4mbs up
[Droid Eris General] pkopalek:
For the purposes of sending mms to my gf, I set the limit for mms, in my texting app, to 200k. I'd set it to 100k if I could.

Over 200k, I find mixed success.
[Droid Eris General] henryshannon:
does anybody have the 49027 prl for cricket, if you could email it to me wheelz15208@gmail.com id appreciate it

edit* got it
[Droid Eris General] n0b0di:
As for cyanogen on cricket with mms. I use froshedyo v10 and I have no problem with mms. Send and receive files so far close to 700kb. As a matter of fact I've had no problems since I got switched to Android plan and had the phone switched to Kyocera (I have an Eris BTW).

That is until Friday 1/28/2011 I think maybe yesterday. The issue is now on the mobile network I can no longer get to the market or browse the internet it hangs and then I get a network error. All the other apps connect to the internet. Navigation works, online games, Gmail, everything but internet and market don't work unless on wifi. what did they change up?

Usually its mms that has the issue. Any ideas cause this worked fine the other day.

And Now it works. I did nothing to it. I tell ya sometimes these things will mess with your head.
[Droid Eris General] chrisngrod:
Can we post this PRL up? Are we sure it's newer than 42900? Sometimes they don't follow any particular order it seems.

Also if anyone has problems getting on the Android plan, just PM me. I have Cricket access.
[Droid Eris General] Readability:
I have probably read over every comment two or three times!!!

today I got a flashed (to cricket) samsung moment first i got the CPE html phone plan. read this thread and went back and they changed it but i still cant get data. mms and voice work great? how do you cange apns? i have tried adb push pull but when i reset my phone and adb pull it is back to the sprint apn?

i dont konw if this helps?

any tips?
[Droid Eris General] bigshotrob22:
Try flashing Tokens CricketV10 zip found in the Development section...also download autostart root from the market...If you download apn backup restore you can back up your apns and edit them to point to cricket.

Make sure you backup before trying these just n case!
[Droid Eris General] myycoleee:
I Need Help, I Have A Samsung Fascinate Fully Flashed To CricKet But One Problem My MMS Dosen't Work Can Anyone Help Me Out? Please PM ASAP.

Thank You, Michael.
