I have a chance to get a touch for 40$ which is a good deal right?
Also can I flash it to cricket and internet and all will work and after I flash it I could put android on it correct?
I could easily find out how to flash to cricket by reading but am confused by the android part isnt it flashing a new rom so I couldnt connect to cricket? Thanks will be back tonight to reply so leave as many suggestions as possible
Thank You all
no flashed rom needed for android
after you have flashed you touch to what ever rom works for you. there will no need to flash it for android because android as it is will not replace windows. andriod runs off of the sd card. just read forum for android on the touch it should any question you have.
What are the downfalls to android?

with Android running off the MicroSD, texting works only partially (Sprint/Verizon texts give "bad SMS encoding" errors) and web not at all due to Cricket's dumb proxy settings
this is the case with the XV6800, and i am sure the Touch will have the same dilemma

I got it working by editing the default APN and setting up the proxy that way.

Can you make calls or not?
If you can't call or recv is your ESN in the cricket system.
Did this just start happening?
If you can not make calls but can recv calls go to EPST setting/CDMA setting and change the following..
EVRC enable = enable
and the three below it change to EVRC
make sure you have cricket PRL
HOME SID/NID are correct
ESN matches cricket system
MDN/MIN are correct
Everything works fine now, call and text. However mobile web is still a no go. In the new Ion build there is no APN settings program, just APN under settings for the android. When I add my user name and password to my current APN it still wont log on.

Web works on mine. reset your modem settings using the modem icon. You may have to dl a new modem app though.
The APN settings should be the same as the settings you used on the window mobile settings, wap.mycricket.com port 8080 etc etc.
How do you change the modem settings? Ive entered all the information in APN like user name,password, por,t proxy, is there anything else you said..... meaning theres more?

So what are the correct APN setting to make these cupcake builds work on Cricket???
actually at this time i have no idea if it works or not as they removed the ppp.username ppp.password from teh default.txt and from then on it seemed to have killed the data connection.
All i did was go into the wireless networks settings, or APN settings in wireless settings and modify teh defulat. I changed all the settings that you would in WinMo and left the rest as they were and it all worked. Currently trying to download a new system image file so I can test it.
proxy question
hi i have htc vogue on cricket and im using donut 1.6 flashable rom and i have data working with no problems. But only in browser not through any of the apps or activate my google account. i have been reading and they say its because of cricket port wont let us reach out. also there has been mention of buying cricket 15 html plan but is there a proxy bypass or workaround out there thank you

The HTML data plan is a good work around but is not a 100% sure fix because in different markets it also works through the Simple IP. There are other work arounds like the broadband hack. But that requires a broadband number.
I know this is a bit old but has anything changed here to make Android market/data work on cricket data plan? I am still confused as to what settings in android to make (followed all of whitey's instructions for cricket)

Hi I was wondering if anyone here knew about MMS settings for the new cellphone carrier in Canada called Mobilicity. They are similar to Wind Mobile. I read the forum on the O2 MMS settings, which helped a lot. However, i still cant get the Mobilicity MMS to work. Anyone have any suggesstions? Thanks
i'm gonna guess that this is you if not take a look lol
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1652256-Mobilicity-MMS
o yea
O yea, its me, i'm askin in both spots. The O2 discussion earlier does help a lot, cause it goes in detail about the MMS menu. But even after putting in those settings from the howardforums help, it still doesnt send or receive
Have exactly the same problem as OP.
same problem .. i have samsung vibrant and i can't receive or send mms
i double checked my mms apn setting and it's all good
what is the solution ?!
Simple solution
Copy the settings from mobilicity webpage mobilicity.ca/uploads/phone-manuals/NexusOne-Guide2.pdf, the only different thing that you have to do is under Authentication type select NONE, by default says not set or something like that, that's what they forgot to pinpoint in the configuration, by doing this I was able to send mms without problem, hope it helps
Hi I just wanted to add that I also had the same problem and what solved it for me is that I was missing some info on the data side of the settings, but I still had data working regardless. My phone is HTC Sensation and I used all the settings provided by mobilicity on there web site on how to set it up.
http://mobilicity.ca/support/phones...MMS-picture-messaging-will-function-properly/
if the link above is followed correctly with both the data and mms settings put in exactly the same then there shouldnt be a problem. Oh and also on the HTC you have this setting asking for the authentication type which should be set to none.
Go read my post on how to fix it !
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1744678
Ok Please understand I cannot stress enough about how the phone was working flawless and NOTHING CHANGED on my service. BUT what actually happened was I went from a 2.2 rom, WAP, MMS, everything working flawless because I flashed it myself and had perfect APN Settings that I found online. Non of the other APN settings work. This specific setup worked just flawless. Incoming and outgoing MMS worked like it was a Native cricket phone. And I had the files backed up into my SD Card, so I can just run APN Manager and just restore the files every time I tried a new rom.
Well I went to the new style roms for 2.3. Mainly CM7... But it was flawed for Mobile Data and WiFi so I went back.... month later things were fixed and I went back to CM7 and it was working but had rom errors. So I was working out some things and decided to clean everything. Well I screwed up... I started a format on my SD Card.... I pulled the battery quick but not before the APN Settings were deleted.
I have not been able to get MMS working since then. I just reverted back to stock and everything is working except MMS. I even just backed up a new Cricket Android Phone's APN file and edited my info into it and still no MMS. IDK What else to do.
Anyone have any info?
I remember the names of the APN Files I was using that I copied from someone online (CDMA-MMS) is one of them or something similar to that. But I cannot find anything.
If you can point me in the direction of the sons you used I will test them. I also and flashed to cricket but I've never got my mms to work. Im running a 2.2 rom. I've heard that cm7 and miui have wap and mms issues.
My mms always worked till I lost that apn. I been playing with it and can not find a solution. Idk what is going on.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Ok I fixed it. Just sent MMS from phone to email with no issues and quite fast.
If you install APN Manager and give me your email address I'll send you my backup. It requires NO PROXY or any sort and hardly any info on the APN. But its a modified APN from a Cricket Android Phone. The actual APN I got off of that phone didn't work very well. But I just started modifying it and things started working soo much better.
can i have that fil my e-mail [email protected] will it work for an evo?
Does any one know how to make the MMS work?
I dont see a place to input the info on the straight talk activation instructions.
MMSC
MMS Proxy
MMS Port
I was only able to find the place to input the APN (att.mvno) doing this made the internet work.
So when I get a pic mail my phone shows me the text from it and tries to download it. But it fails. says Invalid MSISDN Number Received.
SMS works fine.
Sprint Touch Pro 2 TP2 Windows mobile 6.5. I have the Wall mart straight talk $15 sim card (bring your own phone) plan. I put it in the sim card slot on my Sprint TP2 and went through the steps to enable the phone to use GSM towers in the states. Calling works. But internet is only on EDGE (slower then sprints 1X) I think that is all the phone is capable of with the GSM raido it contains.
I searched the registry and found something like Http://mms.sprintmms.com changed it to http://mmsc.cingular.com and that did not work.
I dialed ##778# and hit view. there is nothing in there that looked related.
I went to start, settings, connections, connections, manage existing connections, and deleted what was there and maid a new one called Data and put att.mvno as the Access point name but there is no place to enter the mms settings in there.
I have searched google for hours and days. I give up. Some one out there has got to know the answer. Can you help?

In your MMS app, go to menu>MMS options>servers>add new server. If it's greyed out you have to do a reg edit in HKLM>Software>ArcSoft>MUI and look for "enable server edit" and change the DWORD to "1" After you change that, go back to the MMS options and "add new server" with the following data:
Server - Straight Talk MMS
Gateway - 66.209.11.33
URL - http://mmsc.cingular.com
Port - 80
Connect Via - Whatever you named your connection previously.
When you're done make sure you set that as your default server. I'm doing this from memory so I may have missed a step or the reg edit key may be named differently on the Sprint TP2. BTW, the Sprint and Verizon TP2 only supports EDGE speeds on the AT&T bands. 3G is for the AWS (1700) band like T-Mobile, HTC really screwed the pooch on that one.
Nice thank you very much for your help. My mms works now. I cant believe I did not think to check in my mms program for the place to enter the settings.
I did have to change the registry value to a 1 to gain access to the greyed out button. It was in HKLM>Software>ArcSoft>Arcsoft MMS UA>Config>UI>
Now if I can only get the mms and the sms time to be correct. Do you know any thing about that? My friend can be sitting next to me and send me a sms that I get instantly but the incoming time on the message shows totally wrong. It was like this when I was on Sprints service also. I flashed stock 6.1 and 6.5 and neither fixed it. I have Since or Touch Flow or what ever its called turned off. Just running basic home screen Spb Pocket plus 4.1.0, Spb Phone Suite 1.3.1, Garmin, Pocket shield and some other basic programs. I have a faint memory that out of the box this was not a problem. It may have been after I flashed and installed that it started. But then why did flashing back to stock not fix it? I have never flashed anything other then stock.

So you say that I can get 3G if I get the Wallmart Straight Talk sim card that uses Tmobile? Wow I will try that. My brother just ordered one from Straight talk for his T mobile branded TP2. I will try it in my phone. T mobile has almost as good of reception here on the big island of hawaii as AT&T does.

See, I didn't buy the Walmart ST SIM. I went straight to their website (straighttalkgsm.com) and got an AT&T SIM. I know you have the choice of T-Mobile or AT&T but I think it depends on the area code you will be using. As for the time stamp issue, that sounds more like a software bug than a carrier issue. Just for ****s and giggles, did you enter the proxy info in your connections? I know when I use the proxy info, mobilespeedtest.com reports my ISP as AT&T-Cingular, when I go without the proxy it lists my ISP as "shared block". Whatever that means. Google Maps also locates me faster when I have the proxy info entered. Of course, when I have to tether, I un-check proxy settings. BTW, you didn't hear that from me.

Wow checking the proxy box and putting in 66.209.11.33 does change my results from Shared IP Block to At&t. And it is 4 times faster.
I was getting a consistent download speed of only 77 Kbps and 1.1 Latency
Now I get 295 down and 2.1 Latency.
Im testing some data intensive websights now. Ok they are much faster now. All most as fast as my week reception sprint EVDO revA phone tethered to my router. The only thing sprint has over ST is that sprint does not throttle me until 30 gigs. And I have read that with the AT&T ST sim people are not getting away with much. DSL just came to my part of the jungle so I got rid of my sprint plan. I have no need to tether so much now.
I edited out my confusion from the above posts. It looks like I will never have 3g on the t-mobile or AT&T sim card on my TP2. Here is a link to some supportive reading about why 3G will not work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561656
One more thing I can send and receive Hotmail but cant send and receive Yahoo. When I try it says "Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings. Settings". Then If I uncheck proxy it works but then I have to go back later to re check and put in 66.209.11.33 to get my faster speed back. Why can Hotmail do it but Yahoo can not?
I had the same problem and all I did was flash a new radio which helped with signal.
Just for fun I put a T-mobile sim card from T-mobile in my TP2. My Edge internet was very slow. So put in the proxy that Straight talk gives there users with T-mobile sims and it was still very slow. Super slow compared to using the Att proxy with the ATT ST sim in my TP2.
One interesting thing I noticed is that this sim had many more electrical contact points on it and it automatically set up the correct MMS setting for me. In comparison the ST sim card had lass contact points and I had to enter the MMS manually my self.
This TP2 Im using this week is bone stock out of the box and it is not handling daylight savings time correctly when putting the time stamp on the sms. I bet there are many good threads about fixing this I have not yet searched.

Simple the settings for the Hotmail account where correct and the ones for yahoo where not.
So this was an easy fix. I click on my sms program. click menu, tools, options, click on my yahoo account, edit account setup,next,next,next, next,advanced server settings. So in here is where i had it wrong. It was on my old internet settings so I changed "network connection" to "internet" that way it will even sync my email using wifi if its on and has internet, instead of needlessly requiring to dial up over the cell data connection.
I tryed this change in the MMS settings also but my MMS wont send so I had to change it back to the cellular data connection.
I installed Viper10 and chose Verizon as the carrier since I saw somewhere on the forums that it was the way to get service for sprint and I have everything working fine except I can't send MMS. Is that a problem because of the wrong APN settings or is that just the tradeoff?
P.S: I can receive MMS but can't send them.

did you enter the sprint apn's? go to venomroms.com the settings are posted there, don't forget to save the apn after setting
I looked for the APN settings on venomroms.com and that's what I had and I everything works including LTE data, calling, sms and receiving MMS. Only thing that has problems is sending MMS. If this is just the tradeoff for the custom rom that's fine I'm just wondering if other ppl have the same issue.

i'm on sprint with the same settings and it works fine here, don't know why your's is not??/
make sure there are no syntax errors or typos.
You don't have the APN settings saved correctly. Delete the APN entry you saved, and make sure you enter the settings exactly. Also make sure autocorrects doesn't "fix" your entries. ?
I also had this problem on 2 different 10s in the same house. Couldn't figure out why it didn't work so I went back to viper 3.5 and worked perfectly.
