Cricket - Vx6900 Gps "help 911"

I have a VX6900 that was Flashed to Cricket, I have GPSViewer, Google maps, HTC GPS tool, & Quick GPS. each one see that i have a GPS card but I have never gotten a lock on, I have followed many treads, but I still can't get the GPS to work on my phone. please Help

try gps toggle
my sister flashed her sprint version of the touch to cricket and she uses gps toggle to turn on/off the gps receiver. i suggest that you only have google maps and gps toggle installed, and nothing else. give it a try and let me know if it worked out for you!
good luck

I've been told that nothing i do will enable my GPS because it was flashed wrong

You will need a cricket PRL to load through PST setting.
then go to this thread it will help you set up your pst setting correctly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=492824 *NOTE* In some cricket markets you will need to change from EVRC to VOICE 13K to make outgoing calls. YOU CAN ALSO DOWNLOAD THE MMS CAB FROM HERE and then
Install the cricketwapmms cab
Do not try to open a data connection untill you have cricket service on the phone.
To authinticate your user name 10digit#@mycricket.com
you must have service.
Just a couple notes to have Email and push services work you MUST have the $15.00 HTML plan on your account and your phone must be listed in the system as a QA4 Evoke.
GPS may Require priming unless you use Ryans Googlemaps.cab
Credits go to ImCokeMaN for the unlocker and his great tutorial
and Ryanmogul6800 on XDA for his great software and his perfect PST setting.
Please let me know if this helped any or if I can be of any further assistance.

Good glad you got it running Also if you wanted push email to work there is a program called funambol that works ok with cricket.

hi i am tryin to get the gps running using your fix but all of the links are not working when i click on them but just to tell you what im working with i have the sprint vogue flashed to cricket and im running the new nsfan wm6.5 v16 rom and when i try gps viewer i cant find a fix, so is it the rom maybe cause my radio is 3.42.50....so can you point me in the right direction cause my phone is amazing but the gps is a setback and this is something that i really want spent weeks looking for something so thanks for all of your help

I apologize for that I don't know why they don't work here is the GPS1 setting that need to be entered in QPST. Your radio version is good to go for GPS.
while in QPST lets get your GPSone ste up for cricket.
Go to the GPS1 tab and uncheck all the boxes then recheck them.

Wifi connection problems.

I am trying to connect to my university's wireless.
We have two different wireless ssid's that i can connect to with my laptop.
The first, called UBC is unsecured, but when you connect, it takes you to a web page where you enter your username/password.
The second, called ubcsecure, can authenticate with either WPA2 or WPA ( it shows up as WPA2-Enterprise).
The encryption method is AES for WPA2, and TKIP for WPA.
EAP type: PEAP v0 , Authentication protocol is MS-CHAP-V2
there is an option for mutual authentication using a certification server:
secure.wireless.ubc.ca
I am unable to connect to either using the stock HTC magic ROM, the HoFo community rom, and most recently, myHero 1.0.1
I have tried editing /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf to include
network={
ssid="ubcsecure"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
eap=PEAP
identity="[email protected]"
password="password"
phase1="peaplabel=0"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
}
Any ideas as to how to connect?

Data wipe.
Try to reset your phone's basic settings.
It could rebuild the information necessary to acquire the specific IP from their connection.
Manually entering the data couldn't hurt either. This is something that usually I would consider consulting the school about. Privatized internet connections could cause a number of issues for those seeking to utilize Wi-Fi.
The NAT settings might be too strict to support a handheld device.

Me too!
have you found any other solution??
i m here in ubc as well with my htc magic 1.5
when i'm trying to connect to ubc,, it keeps requiring the ip but doesnt connet
and ubcsecure doesnt even show up!
is really frustrating not being able to use internet in universityyy..
i thought by activating the wpa enterprise will work for the ubcsercure, i guess not??
will any of the heros rom work??

Im having this problem too.. anyone find a fix?

I have no idea why but ubcsecure seems to be working using JesterBlur ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567122

it works on the Dream? or sapphire? I don't think it matters but... be interesting to know

Dream. Theres a version for the Sapphire. Maybe give it a shot? ubcsecure still working here.

Ask for working setting

Did you use the UI setting or you edit the "wpa_supplicant.conf" file manually?
would you please send us your "wpa_supplicant.conf" file or its ubcsecure part? it would be the great help to have a working setting.
Cheers,
Ali

I used the UI that came up during first boot. How can I get to that file?

the wpa_supplicant is in /data/misc/wifi. But considering how it works using the ui settings, i dont think changing the config file will work...but please still post it.
I also tried replacing the wlan.ko from the jesterblur rom... and doesnt seem to be compatible with magic which is apparently normal because there is a patch for magic users that fixes wifi apparently. I will try the wlan.ko from the fix soon probably to see if it works.

Hi guys,
I'm at UBC with the same problem (I can't even connect to the regular UBC network). I went to the UBC help desk and they basically told me that they don't support android at all. The funny thing is I can connect to the fatport network with no problems but cannot connect to ubc, ubcsecure or eduroam networks on campus. I'm currently runnning on Cyanongen 4.2.4 (waiting for 32a kernel to upgrade to 4.2.5) on a rogers htc magic.
Anyway, the point of this post. If anyones interested in meeting up at UBC to find a solution to this problem it'd be great. I'm hoping we can eventually create a package of some sort that'll fix any android phone but lets focus on fixing the current prob first.
Also @fnkaze - aren't the dream and sapphire the same thing?

Er, i think the dream is the G1 and the sapphire is the G2 aka the rogers magic... well i think the dream has a differnt wifi driver? maybe.. thats the problem
I think the reason why they dont support android is because the stock rogers rom doesnt have native wpa2 support i think.... but the custom roms should have it.. the hero rom does have it... at home my wpa2 wifi works fine
I can also connect to fatport, i think the eduroam is also using the same thing...tho ive heard eduroam seems to work on the rogers rom at different univeristies..
I still have yet to try the jester rom wifi driver tho, ill try it soon...

Thanks for the clarification. And the reason eduroam works at other universities is because the WPA encryption settings are based on the uni's actual/main wireless network. So at different universites the authentication protocols might be a bit different.
What phone do you have? The dream or the magic? The jester rom doesn't work on my magic.

i have the magic, but i think it should work on the magic, they also have a seperate patch to get Wifi working for the it.. so im assuming its possible..

So yeah, Concordia University in Montreal has the same WPA2-Enterprise and this is how I got WIFI to work on my Magic (with HoFo's Sense UI ROM, would still probably work with a rooted 1.5/1.6 ROM)
In fact it will probably work with any rooted Dream or Magic
Remember you need your phone to be rooted for this to work, you will also need to have the drivers installed for your phone from the Android SDK.
- Go into recovery mode
- mount the /data/ folder
Code:
adb shell mount /data
- With ADB Pull the /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf file to your computer (in this example it will go to the tools folder where you have your androidsdk)
Code:
adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf .
- Make a backup of your conf file in case you mess something up
- Edit it and add in the configuration settings given by your University for Linux wpa_supplicant.conf files, so in your case
Code:
network={
ssid="ubcsecure"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
eap=PEAP
identity="[email protected]"
password="password"
phase1="peaplabel=0"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
}
- With ADB Push the wpa_supplicant.conf from your computer to the /data/misc/wifi/ folder
Code:
adb push wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi/

Honestly that person at the helpdesk probably doesn't even know what Android is. If they says they don't support Android at all, well using their logic any Linux distro using wpa_supplicant.conf isn't supported which OBVIOUSLY isn't the case.
And no the Dream and Magic are far from being the same device.

Thanks!
I'll try this solution and see if it works. Will post back to let you know how it goes.

Hi,
Ok, I just finished installing the sdk, fixing udev to recognize my phone etc...
The problem I'm having is that everytime I run:
Code:
adb shell mount /data
I get the following error:
Code:
mount: cannot read /etc/fstab: No such file or directory
Help?!?!

NVM after reading the adb -help i tried this:
Code:
adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf /home/myuser

Ok something really wierd happened...I pushed a new wpa supplicant file and the rebooted the phone and it stopped seeing wireless networks! But ubcsecure showed up as a known network. If I long press it an 'forget it' I can see networks again, but still cant connect to any ubc network?
WTF>?

Is there anyway I could use by ubuntu wpa_supplicant settings? Anyone know where the file is on Karmic? b/c I cant find it at all

MyTouch Initial Login APN

I just purchased a MyTouch 3g (32b) off of eBay. I have been using tmobile sidekick prepaid on an iPhone 2g. I used the APN: internet2.voicestream.com. This also worked on my htc dash. I've read on the boards this doesn't work because tmobile blocks total internet plan (internet2) on the MyTouch. If so, is there another apn i can use? (I do not want people telling me why to switch to android data or anything, just alternatives for now).
Also, if there is no way to get internet to work so I can login, if I find a way past the initial login, would my internet never work?
Problems with bypassing initial login:
adb shell "error: device not found" (haven't resolved)
rooting- Method 1. Can not get sd card cid to create a goldcard
Method 2. Can't bypass initial login to install flashrec
Any other possible ways to bypass initial login?
Thank you for any help in advance.

One way is being in range of Wifi when doing the setup.

I am in range to wifi, that is why I was trying to use adb shell to enable it, but it wasn't working. Is there another way to enable wifi?
When I run adb shell I get this:
* Daemon not running. Starting it now. *
* Daemon started successfully *
Error: device not found
The mytouch is on and and plugged into the computer. I've tried it on Windows 7, mac, and xp.

Problems are all almost fixed. I had a friend put in his sim card and we rooted, and flashed Super-E on the MyTouch. Everything works find except the internet.

If its not rooted and u dont have a data plan it will not let you pass the setup to enable wifi. you would have to use a friends sim with data and setup then use wifi. with being able to use interent on the sidekick plan is another story which i am corently trying my best to figure out.

Thats exactly what I did, so if you have any progress on getting the sidekick data to work, please post on the thread or PM me.

[Q]WP7 + Chevron connection issue

After following the normal guides, this is what I have completed so far using Windows XP SP3:
1) Install Zune
2) Install the certificate file on the phone + regedit the PC
3) Connect the phone to the PC
4) Zune finds the phone and is able to connect
5) Chevron opens, I tick the two boxes, but then errors with 'I am unable to communicate...'
To resolve I have tried:
Ensuring hosts file is not read-only
Delete any entries for windowsphone in hosts file
Put phone into airplane mode
Run chevron as administrator
Disable all A/V and F/W
Disable all network adapters / wireless etc
Can anyone suggest anything else to resolve?

You DEFINATELY need to install Windows phone 7 SDK- i had the same issue, i could resolve it by installing the SDK.

But that can only be installed on windows vista/7 right? Not on XP

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914596

excellent, thankyou kind sir. Will give it a go. Apols for not searching hard enough!

ah,
That didn't work. YOu need the developer tools installed before you can install this and that needs windows vista/7 anyway.

RIght, have finally managed to install everything. Still no working

64bit WIN 7
Is the chevron7.exe working on 64bit WIN7 or only on 32bit version?

I give up..
Have installed Zune and developer tools, spent all day on this and I'm no futher. Chevron does not work.

For me too.. Chevron doesn't work.

I have the same problem. I got it unlocked, locked it again and now i can't unlock it anymore

How can i : 1)ensure hosts file is not read-only?
2)delete entries of windows phone in hosts file
??
thanks

Hi,
Make sure you don't forget this one:
(you need to close skype and disable network adapter.. hamachi.. wireless.. etc)

windows phone sdk is the Microsoft Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone?

I finally managed to unlock!
This probably won't help the people who can't re-unlock, but the final issue at my end was that I was using a web proxy. The Zune service uses the domain defaults for proxy settings (which, for me, is set to automatic discovery). I noticed with Process Monitor that most http requests from Zune went through the Privoxy proxy on my server. (Which of course, does not know about how ChevronWP7 redirects developerservice.microsoftphone.com to the fake local service.)
After disabling the proxy and rebooting (to make sure the Zune *service* (not the app) picks up the change), ChevronWP7 worked as advertised. Note, however, that I needed to click "Unlock" twice - the first time I got the usual connection error.
I hope this helps someone!

I think that I´m going to have to give up on WP7. At least untill they come out with a better chevron. I´ve been working on this since WP7 first was announce on DFT´s website.

I´ve tried a thousand times.

I had the same problem. I closed all applications that used up the internet, including my web explorer. Then tried again and it worked fine.

I gave up.. however I then used another Windows Vista PC (instead of my windows XP SP3) and all worked fine.

[Q] Is there anyone like me: impossible to unlock

Do all of that and you should have a working phone that is unlocked.

1. Install WP7 sdk Windows Phone Developer Tools; done
2. Install zune;done
3. Make partneship with zune and phone;done
4. Attach the ChevronWP7.cer(you found in the toolkit) to your email and send the email to your email itself (On PC);done
5. Login to your email account (On Phone), Open the email, Select attachment and install the cert;done
6. Connect your phone to pc and make sure zune is running in background;done
7. Run the unlocker (ChevronWP7.exe) and click unlock button(Make sure your phone date is set correctly)done
(you need to close skype and disable network adapter.. hamachi.. wireless.. Dropbox.. etc)done
still locked

Are you doing a full hard reset and then reinstalling the certificate? It should work after the PortalUrlProd and PortalUrlInt values get returned to the default.

yes I have done by pushing + and - volume button

solution
the default year in WP7 is 2010 it took me a while to realize i was forcing the phone due to the date.
small thing easy to overlook hope it helps
edit: with the correct date phone should unlock

On #5 did you use touchXplorer to copy that file to Windows directory?
Remember Zune will lock you HD2 everytime you connect your usb. use the crack in this forum to prevent that.

are you using windows XP?

Also try putting chevronwp7.exe in the root of your c: drive and run as administrator. I've seen people say that it isn't necessary, but I had to.
Also if you're using vista or windows 7 make sure UAC is disabled.

besides turning off the firewall, i turned off the windows defender service.
It might do the trick.

Solved
Thanks to everybody
My problem is solved.
Like audit angel was saying the default year is 2010, and the solution was there for me.
When I changed the year to 2011 Chevronwp7 did his job.
What an idiot I was!!!
