anyone know if a Virgin Mobile phone (in this case, the Optimus V) will work with the sprint airave? can't find anyone who can confirm this.
From what I've see online it will not work,it sends you to a message that says you're on a private network,get off if you want to make a call.I'm on a call with virgin mobile about it right now because I have absolutely no signal at my house,I'm trying to talk them into sending me one. A few people have been able to get a PRL update from VM to be able to use one that a sprint customer has,but I havent seen any cases of them being sent out to virgin mobile customers,I'm hoping to be the first.
I talked to several people in the virgin mobile support teams,they're all clueless,they had no idea what the airave even was. I had one of my friends with sprint call for me,he got one for me to try,I'm going to try connecting to it tomorrow,hopefully using a sprint prl will let me connect to it.
Any update on this?
Basically it can't be done,I talked to several support reps on both sides,they can't make it work. when connected to an airave you get a message saying to get out of range of the private network to make a call.
thats bullsh*t.. so pretty much u cant dial 911 if ur with vm and an airave is around.. there has to be a law against that.. and maby if we all get together sprint will change..

so i just noticed this today (i have the leaked ROM installed) that when i am using the web or checking my email if someone calls they go straight to my voice mail -- i haven't had the phone long enough to know if this is how it is supposed to be or not. Is there a way to get to cancel the data connection and show me someone is calling?

no, not really, at least not for those of us who use push email, since it maintains a constant data connection to the exchange server

well i read through that and tried what they mentioned but i couldn't get it to drop the data when a call came in.
btw, i'm on Sprint, and no EVDO where i am at so only 1x.
but as i mention in the thread
"i believe that all issues with cellphone internet blocking or being disabled when one recieve a call is purely an issue
with old and poor quality equipment of the cellphone operator in the area"
many old gsm and aparently american cellphone networks too
suffer from not being able to handle both network and calls at the same time
it's an issue in the operator end not the phones
yeah after three emails with sprint (i think most of their CS people are brain dead) they finally told me that it is how it works, no way around it.
one told me that calls go to voice mail when you don't have enough signal -- totally irrelevent to this issue
one told me it was a technical problem with my phone and said i should bring it to a sprint store to get a tech to look at it
and finally after *****ed at them sayint that people (that i assume) don't work for sprint know more about this (thanks Rudegar for your responces) then they do, they finally just came out and said that, yeah this is how it is and there isn't anyway around it.
it seems that this is a better place to get answers then emailing sprint --- although i should have realized that from the beginning, i won't make that mistake again.
well i guess your question has been answered, but figure id add my 2 cents...
it works like this only in EV-DO areas not on 1x....
my ring through works perfectly fine when a call or text comes in, it discconects allows me to do what i want, then it automatically reconnects back to data..
I love my mogul...is there anyway to hack the phone so that I can get it hooked up with another network?
Good for you.
Sorry. There is no way to bring the sprint mogul to the Verizon network.
You will need a new xv6800. Much better phone anyway if you ask me.
why not? verizon opened their network to all devices, he should be able to activate it with them
It should be possible – for instance I operate Sprint Mogul in our local network. I even know people here who programmed HTC devices to have phone services from one network and the data (i.e. Internet) – from another.

I believe they are opening up their network and this won't be available until summer.

The most difficult thing would be to get Verizon to activate your ESN on their network. Verizon has announced that they will allow all approved devices, but that has not yet been implemented. You might be lucky enough to find a CS rep willing to do it.
After that, you would need to flash a Verizon ROM, get an A-key and MSID from Verizon, and either port your phone number to Verizon or get a new MDN. You would need to edit EPST to reflect these numbers.
After all that is done, dial *22801 on the device to set up the data parameters, followed by *22802 to load a Verizon PRL.
If I missed anything, or misstated any of the above, I am sure someone will chime in with a correction.
Actually... Verizon has opened their networks up, as of the 18th of February I believe. I could be wrong about the date, but I know its opened.
You can flash a verizon ROM onto your 6800, then call customer service and activate your phone. It should work that way, its what I did for a friend who switched from Verizon to Sprint for the cheaper data plan...

at least some areas opened it right after the announcement, berlin wall style, lol
I know this is an old thread, but has anyone successfully done this?
Specifically Sprint Mogul activated on the Verizon network.
Thanks
Not sure hoe to delete a double post...
so has anyone done this?
hey there just wanted to share my experience for those who might have the same problem. I tried using force EVDO mode (default is hybrid) and could no longer receive calls or text until i called someone. (calling out worked). I also read that someone had the same problem in force 1x mode. Just a heads up since it took me a while to figure out what was wrong. Not sure if others have had this problem and couldnt find it in any searches.
I had the same issue withing the first 30 days of release and actually returned two non Google branded phones. Tech support was unable to figure out why i was not receiving calls and advised me to return them. They tried rebuilding my account, re-provisioning ect. I only figured out what was going on after i was unable to get a call on the third phone immediately after changing the setting to evdo only. that was november 2nd and i have not had any issues since.
still happens on google branded phones. I too did the whole reprovisioning, factory reset, nandroid restores, and finally got a new phone. Tech support does not know about this problem.
i searched this a while back, when i got a "web page unavailable error" in the browser when i was trying to browse the internet during a call.
basically what i found out (google searching) is that our phones send calls and texts over the 1x data network. and the phone is unable to connect to both evdo and 1x at the same time.
that's why every time you send a text it drops down to 1x for a second and when you are in a call you cant use the internet.
some phones can do it but the sprint hero cannot.
i'll try to find the link to the article i was reading, but you can find it by searching google.
EDIT:
http://androidforums.com/sprint/10700-call-surfing-same-time-possible-not.html
here is just one post from another forum.
that's why you have to leave that setting on hybrid, because in order to send calls/texts the phone has to switch networks.
hope this helps
Just to clear something up
Google branded or not its the same damn phone. absolutly nothing different between the two besides the branding
And yes, CDMA cannot connect to data while on a call but I thought text could be sent through EVDO. Ive d/l files quite a bit and when I recieve a text it countinues to download with what no interference.
I see that as a Sprint issue, or if the phone is defective in some way. If anyone is experiance this issue, try to load a custom rom or if you are on one flash the RUU and if that doesnt help contact Sprint.

there are differences, i have a htc branded phone and it came with 1.29 firmware. the google branded phones now have the 1.56 firmware, as they do not make the htc branded phones anymore. there are probably more differences also...

the question is not if you can send texts and download files at the same time, its if you can receive calls/texts while locked out of the 1x network.

its not really a issue, unless they advertised that you could call be on a call and surf the web (which they do not) or if they advised you to change the setting in question from hybrid to EVDO. (which they do not)
CDMA 3G doesn't currently support receiving text or calls in EVDO.
EVDO is used for data only.
Every time you call or send/recieve a text, it switches to 1X, no matter what.
Hence, why you are able to recieve them when calling voicemail.
GSM phones have this capability, and while technically CDMA can, no CDMA carrier has the ability active(it's a network issue).
Forcing EV is good if you want uninterrupted data, but to recieve any calls or texts you will need to either dial out, or switch to a hybrid/1x mode.
Fact.
just got off the chat with sprint, they said, (after a long pause)
12/29/2009 11:53:58PM ME: "just wondering"
12/29/2009 11:57:09PM Agent (Myquan): "I do apologize but the option to place a call and browse the web at the same time, this is not one of the options provided on the sprint network, I do apologize for this inconvenience."
12/29/2009 11:57:43PM Agent (Myquan): "This option may possibly be available in the near future."
12/29/2009 11:58:13PM ME: "will my hero support this?"
12/29/2009 11:59:32PM Agent (Myquan): "Absolutely! if we receive a software upgrade for htc phones allowing this feature this will be available for your Hero."
12/29/2009 11:59:50PM ME: "sweet"
4G supports it.
Hero isn't a 4G phone.
So unless they decide to expand their 3G to allow it to do this, that's a no.

Not to be skeptical but your post sounds suspiciously like one by another first time poster a few lines down that got flamed out.
If you're for real I believe Metro PCS is able to hook up the phone via its ESN which is behind the battery, assuming it isn't flagged. Go to a Metro PCS shop and try it, worst they could say is no. Otherwise you're SOL.
I think the mods need to do an IP check on this guy to see if it's multiple accounts..

lol no this is litterally the 1st time ive ever posted on this site. i dont like posting usually cause some 1 else already asked the same question
I would like to know this as well. I am using it my CDMA xperia play as a game device only. I have T Mobile and obviously the phone won't work on that network. If you wondering why, I got a great deal on the phone via Craigslist and it was a while ago when people were still unsure about the sim card slot on the rear of the device and I thought it might be worth a gamble if for some way we got the sim slot working and I could put my T-mo card in it and get service.
Back to the MetroPCS question. I've never activated a 3rd party CDMA phone on a carrier before. Is it as easy as calling metro customer service and giving them the make, model and ESN? I know for certain the phone is not activated on verizons network, it never was as long as I owned it. Does Vz need to "release" the phone from their network before it can be activated somewhere else?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm familiar with GSM tech, not so much with CDMA...
You are going to have to get metropc to do the flashing for you. They only do it in certain areas and I believe they check for dirty ESNs. Some places charge $40 but other people can charge you whatever they want since they are basically doing you a favor. Also you won't be able to access all of the things you are paying for like "Internet Access".
Also if they brick your phone while flashing, that is on you.
you must know a bit of knowledge to flash it to metro pcs
if you dont id suggest to take it to someone to flash it for you but goodluck not to many people are doing it
but if you wanna go at it yourself ill run you thru real quick
download and install cdma workshop and qpst
turn on usb debugging on your xperia
after that open up your phone dialer and type in ##3424 and hit call itll take u back to your home screen now hook up the phone to the computer and if ur using win 7 itll auto download the drivers etc
this will go you a diag port go into your device man on your computer and check what port its under crucial part
now fire up cdma work shop and connec to the port your xperia is on and read and then write 000000 as the spc code
now fire up qpst and inject your metro pcs prl file and mess witht he internet settings thru qpst
will make a full tutorial soon as i get a chance
you don't need to connect the xperia play to the computer or use any softwar to flash it all you need to do is download the metroPCS prl and you do that by filing on the phone *22804 that will connect u to metroPCS then you press 5 or option 5 that will download the metro roaming list which are the prls after that your done dile *228 and you will hear the metro pcs hello hello this also works for iPhone 4 on verizone
Still have to get the ESN added by physically going into a metropcs store that has the houdini software. You can't just sit home and jump to metropcs database lol.

By the way this don't work! I tried it on the xperia R800x that has been added already to the inventory. *228 gets an error and *22804 calls verizon. I tried multiple prls and changed network locations.
Is there anyone who has successfully activated VZ Sony Ericsson Xperia Play on Metropcs?
These are the steps I took:
1) I have unlocked the phone
2) Rooted the phone
3) Installed Metropcs PRL
4) Inventory Added to Database
Now when I dial *228 I I get a recording "The number or code you dial is incorrect"
Now when I dial *22804 I hear a beep like a pager.
Now when I dial *611 or 611 I am connected to verizon.
Can anyone out there point me in the right direction?
xperia play on metro pcs network
from the supported devices list from the houdinisoft site
Sony Ericcson Sony Ericsson R800x Xperia Play Verizon MTC Bear Active Dual Band
source: houdinisoft com site
google search "metro pcs flash" and watch the video from ehow site (my top link)
the process is called "metroflash" and costs $30 at your local metro pcs location
(although the original post with the price is from 2008 so call and check; and yes it is still offered)
**go to the metropcs store and have them flash it for you!!
***remember you wont be able to use picture mail or internet afterwards (although i have heard that there are hacks)
im sorry no one else has answered your question yet
Why would a flashed Xperia PLAY be unable to get online?
Just curious if anyone else has T-Mobile and also a Magicjack?
Up until a few weeks ago this was working fine, and had been for 2 years. But recently we are no longer able to RECEIVE calls from a T-Mobile cell phone. When you call the magicjack number from the cell you get a message stating "all circuits are busy now, please try your call again later. Message NC26955".
I am, however, able to call the call a T-Mobile cell phone just fine. So basically, OUTGOING calls to T-Mobile cell phones work fine, but INCOMING calls do not.
I have already verified that Verizon phones work fine, as do land lines. The problem is isolated to T-Mobile cell phones.
I have also spent hours dealing with both magicjack and T-Mobile support, both of whom claim that there is no issue with their service.
I have also verified that the correct ports (5060 and 5070 UDP) are open to the magicjack. Anyway, nothing there has changed either.
Anyone have any other ideas of things to try?

Obviously this should not be happening. It does sound like a magic jack issue. If you like you can pm me the mj# and I'll give it a try from here in San Diego. Are there any other ports you can use btw? Just to cover all the bases?

I was convinced it was a magicjack issue, until my brother called me from his verizon phone. The only phones that can't call me are tmo cell phones. However, I can turn around and call a tmo phone just fine.
I spoke with tmo support again today and they are going to send me a cell signal booster. So hopefully I won't even need the magicjack anymore if I can get our cell phones to work inside the house.
As far as the ports go, those are the ones that magicjack uses for VOIP.

Ok. My wife use to use magic jack. She's in the Philippines and we never had any problems with it. I'm with tmo, that's why I volunteered to call you if you wanted. I would suggest wifi calling, but I'm not sure if tmo still offers that!
Well, hopefully this cell signal booster works for you.

Yeah, if WiFi calling worked on the nexus 4 that would be awesome.
