Long story short:
Is there a way to access the PRI ("Product Release Instructions") which are "...a group of settings for the various options inside the CDMA radio (things like the carrier name, default SIDs and NIDs, and slot cycle settings). Every CDMA phone comes with a particular version of these settings pre-installed.", specifically the DDTM/DOTM settings?
Long story long:
On the HTC Apache (ppc-6700) older versions had the ability for a call to come through during an EvDO data session (call interrupt). Apparently, Sprint had HTC change the DDTM/DOTM settings in all Apaches manufactured after April and now this function does not work anymore: data gets priority, call gets bumped to voicemail. People would prefer the 'call interrupt' method but we cannot downgrade the PRI settings.
The solution to our problem might be: "...Either someone needs to write a program (or leak/steal one) that will allow that setting to be accessed directly, or someone needs to figure out how to decode .ppst files...if someone can figure out the format of the defaut.ppst file and create one that keeps DDTM/DOTM at voice only while not screwing up the other components of the file, then you should be able to again have calls interrupt active data."
All of this information and more was from luv2chill and the larger thread on the topic can be found Here if you need more detailed information.
Any help from you guys would be greatly welcomed as we're kind of stuck on the issue at pdaphonehome.com.
(I'm not so much a techincal person in this area, so I'm acting more as a relay of information...)
I know this hasn't been answered in forever, but I thought I'd just go ahead and do it.
The simple way to access DDTM settings is to go into your phone's dialer and enter ##3282# (##DATA#), hit edit, and enter your MSL (6-digit activation code given to you @ first phone activation or can be obtained simply by calling customer care). You will find it under various modules in this hidden menu. I can't tell you exactly where because I don't have your phone and this menu changes from phone-to-phone.
Glad you asked the question though. It's quite important for CDMA users. GSM users don't have to worry about it, being able to simultaneously connect to mobile data during a call and all... #Jealous#
Ok. Hi ya'll. My boyfriend and I have an account together but I'm always going on to are account he blocked me from me there. Well yesterday the genius that I am tried to reset my phone so here I am pressing ##786#, not knowing that it was going to delete everything like my number. So I call Sprint today and they wont let me get into the account what I wanna know is if any of ya'll know that ## number so I could activate it. I know my msid already I just need that dam ## number....so please Help!:
I believe that you want ##778#, but to do any editing, you need your MSL. There is a program called GetSPC that uses your HEX-based ESN to calculate your MSL unlock code.
You can find your HEX ESN behind your battery. Make sure you use proper capitalization when using GetSPC.
the only problem is you can get all of those numbers but without a sprint rep pressing those magic buttons on their end your phone will just say that your account can not be validated if he blocked you off the account and wont give you access to it you cant activate the phone. if you both are on same account just have him do it. without his or sprints help you might as well go outside and find a rock and try to make phone calls with that because thats what your phone will be. sorry if im coming off harsh but its true lol. good luck.
On the mogul you can get your MSL simply...
I will have to look up the codes for it, but the just of it is.
## something for diag mode ##
restart phone let it run for like 4 minutes, then disable diag mode, and it creates a text file which contains the MSL
I found it on xda somewhere, will do some research
I installed the Sprint TV cab that comes with the new ROM but every time I start the application I get this message.
Unable to get billing system indicator for the MDN(12)
MDN : ##########
CID : AFB52 - 73E8C- 16332
I noticed that the value of MDN is supposed to be my phone number but it's wrong. One of the numbers does not match with my phone number and I'm pretty sure that's what the problem is but I don't know how to change my device's phone number
Does anyone know how to change the phone number on Windows Mobile???
I'm sure the information is on this forum somewhere, but I'd say just give sprint a call. I can't rem. the exact steps so I won't tell you them as I don't want you wrecking your phone due to my poor memory...
I do know when I ported my number after getting my Mogul on Tuesday I was walked through some steps punching in various codes and the like and I was able to edit the phone number and something else on my phone.

I have the same problem with my Touch Pro. How do we change the MDN without going through Sprint CS? I have had enough of their crappy CS so I would rather get the info through the helpful mates on this forum.
dial ##778# send
then enter your MSL code, select edit, then select VIEW softkey, select NAM settings, there you'll find MDN, tap and hold with stylus and edit.
Hope this helps.
Oops, I just realized how old this was. Sorry, as it's probably already been resolved for the OP long ago.
I haven't been able to get Google Voice to function as voicemail on the Aria, either by using the in-phone command, the call commands specified by the website, or the bootleg "type in the number" method that I used to get it working with my G1. There are actually commands missing from the call settings menu (the additional GSM call settings): principally the "call forwarding" commands. AT&T meddling, or am I missing something?

I have had no problem using GV as my voice mail and forwarded number as well.
Made sure i set it up on the website first then ran GV and set it up following the prompts. Skipping the step where i tried to change the voice mail settings automatiically. Use the settings option on the website to give me the # 004 # etc.. code which set up the forwarding without much problems.
When I go to Menu > Settings > Call > .., at the very bottom I see call forwarding, Call barring settings, Additional Settings, etc.
As for Google Voice, I don't believe you need to change anything using the settings within the Aria. For me, anyway, I left my voicemail settings intact on the Aria, and my calls still get directed to Google Voice (I figure by keeping the carrier voicemail settings, it'll default to that if Google Voice fails). So if you changed the voicemail settings ON the Aria (via Menu > Settings > Call > ..) then change them back to the AT&T settings?
Don't have the phone with me now, but when I tried the *004 etc# thing it returned some kind of incorrect code error message. I'll try it again tomorrow. I'm just glad to hear that's it working for someone.
Works for me using *004*.... method.
It failed for me thru the Google Voice App, but worked when I activated via the Google Voice website...make sure you type it in exactly as they tell you to on the website.
I did it a couple of times, and very carefully; got the same error message each time. So I don't know what's going on. I'll try it again tomorrow (it's not my phone). I do like the phone, however. It's a lot snappier than my G1 and I like the size. I don't think I'd miss the extra cpu or screen size of the nexus and I can get it for almost nothing; I'm thinking about it. But then there's that Legend...

Hmmm... well, Google Voice began working immediately for me on my non-rooted Aria, after I installed GV and did the set-up (coming from a Nexus). It sometimes has trouble deleting messages from voicemail, but that's about it. I didn't touch anything, and GV was one of the first apps I installed.

Calling out to Google Voice voice mail may not work correctly if you rooted and used fluffy's original app sideloading procedure, which has since been fixed. There was an 'android_id' problem with the original method. I think non-rooted users should be okay.
Unfortunately, they only way I know of to correct the android_id problem is to wipe data (restore factory settings) and start fresh, and then use the new sideloading patch. This uses your existing settings and not someone else's.
When I did that, at least all off my downloads showed up in android market so all I had to do was redownload and install them. It saved a lot of searching for the apps I had downloaded previously.
The HTC dialer can be quirky somethings. I would try *004*+12223334444# where that is the GV number, the plus may help I am not sure though.
If that doesn't work call 611 and have them forward unanswered and rejected calls to you GV number. They can set the option on there end since it isn't phone dependent, but rather dependent on the network.
I did a wipe and reinstalled, used the new sideloading method and still cannot get GV to work. Getting a MMI error code.. Tried adding the + in as well, no luck.
I have now tried everything mentioned. Any attempt to dial the google code, with or without the "+", returns: Connection problem or invalid MMI code.
Any attempt to change the call forwarding numbers returns: "Unexpected response from network."
I'm glad it's working for everyone (nearly) else, but it just isn't here. I talked to an att rep; they didn't have a clue. I suppose I'll have to try another one...
Okay, I finally found a tech at att who could sort it out. And while he was doing so -- it took a while -- he admitted he himself didn't know what network quirk made it not work the way it should in my case.
So for anyone else with this unexplainable, network problem: persevere until they bump you up to a serious tech.

Glad to hear you got it worked out, was it on their side or did you have to do something to the phone?
Why are some of you guys sideloading GV? It's in the market. Install it from there.
I don't think it is that we are sideloading it, it was the original sideloading "fix" that was posted may have had something to do with the GV issue, at least that was the hope for me, but I still cannot get it to work.

It was completely on their side. And they couldn't even explain why it wasn't working the way it should.
I just called AT&T because my regular VM wasn't working, callers were getting a fast tone busy when I was on the line, also call forwarding wasn't working. They tinkered around a bit, turns out my VM number was in only one place where it is supposed to be in two, so it was a programming error. Once that was fixed I tried GV again and was able to set it up using the *004* method and it does now work! Hope this helps others...
Hi everyone. I purchased a sanyo incognito phone, successfully activated it and followed a guide i found here on how to pfash evo to Boost Mobile. I followed all steps without any problem. Did a copy o all correct nv items, copy of nam from donor phone to evo. I successfully zeroed all location (flashed to RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.29.651.5_Radio_2.15.00.09.01_NV_1.77_CNV_release_150224_signed and then unrevoked3), did restart and found at ##786# all zeroes in mein and esn. Then successfully write donor MEID (esn was generated correctly and writed by itself). Then i put HA and AAA passwords into the phone.
What i've got now - is fully working internet with 3g (i'm not sure, but speed sems to be pretty fast), however voice and text messaging are not working. Text messaging showing error code 97 class 2, and when I'm trying to call someone i got a srange message from operator (i believe from sprint) - i attached it.
The only thing happen strange to me - when i tried to write all aaa and ha passwords with 0 profile in QPST Service Programming andter flashing it whowes me an error something like ESN has been changed or something.. However i found this on google and somebody wrote that i shouldn't worry about that - all information was written successfully.
In settings about the phone i see next information:
MEID: donors meid
Phone number: correct phone number as on the donor
IMSI: some numbers?
current username: boost mobile user name
prl 60683'baseband 2.15.00.01.01
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be gratefully appreciated! I just don't know what to do - i didn't find similar problem on the whole internet! Maybe i was looking wrong?
Thanks for everyone in advance.
and here what I've got in QXDM after writing correct meid into the EVO - check attached picture
should DIAG TX items be zeroes?

Have you done a factory reset, and re-input the ha aaa passwords. And all other info in service programming? Had to do it with two phones cause i counldnt receive incoming calls or texts. After a factory reset. Then the fresh write, all worked. I cancelled the ota but let it kick in after final reboot. Might be worth a try.

If Sprint is saying Error Code 16 Switch number whatever and is calling a representative. Your EVO has been flagged. You'll need to let the call go thru answer their identity questions about your Boost account and they will clear it. I just did it 2 days ago. NOTHING else will clear the code 16, ONLY a Sprint Security Specialist can clear it. After they reset your Boost account the voice will work.
Hooray! I did it! It works now! Thank you everyone, and especially Dean_L. Next time when i called any number the system transfered to a representative who asked me a few questions about my account and then reset it for me. Now the phone calling is working. However text message still not working. Trying to resolve that problem now. Thanks again
Fixed problem with text messaging by calling customer service. They asked me what is the phone I'm using and i said Incognito - lie, but it worked!
The only thing left - is the MMS messages. I can recieve them, but can't send! Running miui latest rom. I changed MMS apn http://mm.myboostmobile.com (through voice dialer "Open A P N"), but no luck. Is any suggestions on this? Thanks.
Finally i found the fix. It's already been here, but i will post it again. The way to send MMS is to install Go SMS Pro from the market (it's free) and change in settings different mmsc address. The "Open A P N" method is not working. Or i installed SexynSmooth rom, which is sense rom and change mmsc by dialing ##DATA# - and it worked great for me. ANd exen long text messages works too (on miui they not working, unless you install gosmspro and change settings in it to manually partition them).
I love MIUI rom - so far it's the best one, but i don't want to use those forsk like installing different apps and not gonna be able to send long text messages. Hope they will change it in future versions and will app manual mmsc to their application.
