As a battery saving technique I have been in the habit of forcing the radio to radio 1X only (no EV-DO) whenever I know I don't need heavy data usage. This method still allows my exchange server to sync by push, but internet browsing is way slow. So if I am going to need browsing, I switch back to EV-DO.
But to to this, as far as I know, requires going into EPST and changing the Modem Setting Preferred Mode to "CDMA Only".
Unfortunately this method requires a soft reset to make it work which is fine if you don't need EV-DO speed downloads for a few hours/days. But if you want to switch between 1X and EV-DO quickly its not a workable solution.
Does anyone know a method of changing from "1X only" to "EV-DO" and back without going into EPST and without a soft reset?

do you have a 'mode of operation' page under phone settings?
if not, it will show for all carriers on next release...
i can look up the reg to unhide the setting for you when i get home.
Thanks dcd. I was a bit worried about that "Mode of Operation" setting because my phone doesn't have it available. A search through the forums mentioned that setting but because my phone didn't have it I assumed that the titan/WM6.1 didn't support it.
Now that I know it is a reg hack to make it viewable I will have a look in the registry. If I can't find where to change the setting myself I will await your answer.
just search your registry for HiddenModeOperationPage
OK found it.
If anyone else is interested in using "1X only" to save battery power AND the "Mode of Operation" item is missing from Start-->Settings-->Phone-->Services tab then you need to edit the registry using PHM Registry Editor (or similar).
Go to HKLM>Software>OEM>PhoneSetting and then change the the Reg_Dword called HiddenModeOperationPage from value 1 to value 0.
Then you will have the ability to switch between 1X, EV-DO and Hybrid in the phone settings page. There is a warning in the registry that says that if you select EV-DO you will lose the ability to make voice calls (presumably because EV-DO only supports data not voice and data like 1X). Therefore I would assume the options you should choose are really between 1X and Hybrid.
Thanks dcd for the help. Hope it assists anyone else looking to save battery power.
I did the Titan GPS Fix (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanGpsFix) and shortly after making the changes I noticed that I will not connect to EVDO, just 1X. I don't think the changes I made would affect this, but maybe something else inadvertently got changed in QPST, so i loaded the file that I saved before the changes and wrote to the phone. Still no EVDO.
I did a hard reset, reflashed Radio and ROM and reloaded carrier cab. I had USCC reset my EVDO info and changed the ESN to another phone for a while...still no EVDO.
ROM: dcd 3.2.6
RADIO: 3.42.50
Carrier: USCC
EPST Security Settings:
HDR AN AUTH User Id: [email protected] uscc.net
HDR AN AUTH password: ESN
PPP User Id: [email protected] uscc.net
PPP password: MIN
One thing I noticed is that under the M.IP Default Profile, 'HA Shared Secret' and 'AAA Shared Secret' has weird characters (no readable text) in the settings field.
Anybody have any suggetions?
You try to reactivate it?
What do you mean by reactivate it?
I called USCC and they said everything looks correct, they also said they will reset the settings. I also did *228 to update the PRL.

I will give that a shot. How long should I keep the old phone active?
Long enough to do your *228 stuff.. make a phone call... and connect to the internet.
Make sure your 6800 is at least in Flight mode if not have the batter pulled.
Once that's all done... then re-activate the new phone.

I activated an old phone, made a phone call, data connection and *228 and I got EVDO. I re-activated the 6800, made a phone call, data connection and *228 and still no EVDO.
I noticed in DEBUG mode on the HDR list, it shows AN/AA authentication shows 2=failed authentication.
I'm guessing it has to be something with the phone.
Any other suggestions?

did you put the username and password under settings... connections... connections... manage existing connection... ?
user: #phone#@vzw3g.com
pass: vzw
Also, if you open QPST and look at EFS explorerer... is the DMU.Key file in the DMU folder?
Edit: Also, where you have Hashed letters in those 2 fields in EPST... clear them. Then do your normal *228 to reprogram the phone.

This is a US Cellular phone. I have user: phone#@uscc.net and the password is phone#.
In EFS explorer I have 2 files in the DMU folder. 10.key and 41.key
I deleted the hashed letters and did the *228.
Still can connect on 1X, but not EVDO.

hmm... not sure what the 41.key is. must be a USCC thing. Somebody on USCC needs to chime in with their settings in EPST.

This is for people who want Cricket to work perfectly, just follow these instructions not skipping a beat and you will be OK from then on! If you are not having problems obviously skip this!
I have updated this thread ONLY to Change a step. Its not a Required Change for current Cricket users however, it may be needed for Phones that have never been on Cricket before. I also re-phrased some things to be more understandable.
This thread is assuming that you already have your phone Unlocked (spc code all zeros) and that you have already contacted Cricket and had the Phone you are programming added to the Account. You might as well tell them you have a Motorola Razor V3C that will ensure there will be no problems obtaining EVDO.
Also ask Cricket for your MSID/MIN number (usually not your Phone Number) we will be needing the MSID/MIN if you dont know it, or if the phone was never on Cricket before.
My HTC Unlock Tools Directory, Read SPC Instructions Readme
My Cricket WAP and Arcsoft new versions or my Cricket Carrier CAB <--If you are installing one of my Cricket CABs dont test it until your PST settings are correct.
This thread is also assuming that you already have a CRICKET PRL file loaded in PST. If you have my ROM flashed than a couple PRL files that you can use are on device memory we will get to that later below.
Important note on PRL files. You must know what kind of Cricket Plan you have. If you have Roaming on your plan you need to use the 5 digit PRL files. If you DO NOT have Roaming on your plan you must use the PRL files that are considered 4 digits or contain a 0 at the beginning. Otherwise *228 will not work and you will not be able to Authenticate. Some report for users with roaming you may have to use PRL 1042 and set your SID to be able to *228. Examples below.
PRL 01013 = Non Roaming
PRL 38515 = Roaming
1. Now first thing you want to do is have a good Cricket CAB or ROM installed. This way when the PST settings are done they can be looked over again, and tested.
2. Now if you are starting from a fresh flash OK, if you are starting from a hard reset OK, we can continue. If you have a ROM installed that is having problems I recommend a hard reset and skip Auto Customizations using stylus when it says you have 3 seconds. If you are confident the ROM you have installed is ready to go then fine. We can continue.
3. Now open your Phone Application and go to options and make sure smart dial is off. Then dial ##778 call button (PST/EPST), now click edit and enter six zeros. In the Main Page change the NAM name to Cricket, and enter the MSID/MIN number (that you obtained from your old Cricket phone or from Cricket themselves) make sure its a 10 digit number thats in your area code BUT IT IS USUALLY NOT your PHONE NUMBER. If it was already fine we can continue, if you dont know it you may of skipped obtaining this from calling Cricket as stated above. Now click view info and goto PRL, now check to make sure you have a CRICKET PRL (1013,1014, 1040, 1050 etc.. there are others) If you dont have one loaded in PST and you are using my ROM then you can click in Update PRL File (click in the blank area under setting) and then click Menu, edit, browse and it should go to main root (my documents). Pick PRL 1050 (You may have to try another PRL for *228 to work in step below). Then click ok, then Menu, then ok, it will ask you if you want to update the items click ok. Let it do its thing and restart. If you already have a CRICKET PRL then skip the update PRL step but still make sure to click menu, then ok and let it restart.
4. Now after the phone restarts open phone application again and dial *228 call button (this will make sure base settings are good so i will not have to explain as much, it will also download the proper local EVDO prl to where you are), it will dial cricket and do its programming thing. Do not interrupt this. Let it do its thing even if it restarts. It should say Update complete or Programming complete (if not then try a different Cricket PRL) Now when you are back in action we can continue.
5. Now open the phone application and dial ##778 call button (PST/EPST), now click edit and enter six zeros. Now click view info and goto AKEY and make sure its blank, nothing there. Now click view info and goto NAM settings, NAM name should be Cricket, Mobile Directory number should be YourTenDigitPhoneNumber, MIN1 should be that other phone number the MSID/MIN that is usually not your phone number, but it should be 7 digits, ex: sevendigitnumber, MIN2 should be just your area code. MSID/MIN should be 10digitMSIDnumber <--again usually not yourphonenumber, This part I only know for USA users MCC should be 310, MNC should be 00 (for other Countries you have to look this up), NMSI should be your MSID/MIN (XX10digitnumber<--usually not your phone number) THE XX'S should be zeros, ex: 007185548692, Now if all these settings in this paragraph didnt need touched assuming you didnt skip any of my steps (which they shouldnt be touched i am just making sure) we can move on.
6. Click view info and goto CDMA settings, we are going to make sure they are set right and change a couple things for Clearer voice transmissions, people will compliment how good your phone sounds even in some cases. EVRC should be set at Disable, Home page should be Voice 13k, the Two below it the Same Voice 13k.
7. Click view info click modem settings, change slot cycle index to 1, This will make the phone ring a little sooner, also get your texts a bit sooner. The other 4 options should be Auto, Auto, Enable, No in Order from top to bottom.
8. Click View Info and pick Security, now we are changing this regardless you must do this, we are going to Unauthenticate you and Re-authenticate, it is a Needed step everything in this How To needs to be done and Not skipped! Change the HDR Auth User ID to something bogus like [email protected], the password below it make it something random but remember it, now do the same for PPP user ID and password but make them the same as the HDR ones.
9. Click view info and pick MIP Settings, Make sure Active Profile is on 0, MIP mode should be Simple IP only, MIP reg retries should be 1, MIP reg retry timeout should be 2000 ms, MIP pre-reg timeout should be 30, Mobile Node HA auth should be Disable, send a reg request should be Enable, dormant handoff to disable.
10. Click view info and pick MIP Default Profile, Enable profile should be ENABLE, NAI should be [email protected], MN HA SPI set should be enable, MN HA SPI value should be 12c, MN AAA should be enable, MN AAA SPI value should be 2, reverse tunneling should be enable, home address should be 0.0.0.0, Primary HA address should be 68.28.15.12, secondary should be 68.28.31.12, HA shared secret and AAA secret should be cricket <--lowercase, DMU public should be 0, MN Authenticator should be 0.
11. Click view info and pick MIP customer profile 1 and make sure Enable profile is DISABLED. Now do the same with the other 4 profiles (profiles 2-5), make sure that the only profile enabled is MIP Default Profile.
12. Ok now click menu, ok and let it reset, but make sure not to do anything we are going to be going right back INTO EPST, so when it boots back up open the Phone application and dial ##778 call button (PST/EPST), we are going to re-authenticate you its easy, now click edit and enter six zeros, click view info and goto Security, now change the HDR AN Auth to [email protected], password should be cricket<--lower case, same for PPP user id and Password make them same as HDR.
13. Click view info and goto MIP default profile, make sure the HA, and AAA shared secrets are both cricket<---lowercase, then click menu OK and let it reset.
Thats it! PST settings are perfect for CRICKET, you have a Local EVDO prl file installed, and you are Authenticated for Data and EVDO, now if you used my ROM just go to internet explorer and goto a real page, and follow instructions but remember to click save password! You can also go back into the Phone Application and turn smart dial back on if you choose.
Thats done, every Custom ROM flash from now on should never affect your PST settings and you should always be Authenticated. I hope this helps everyone.

Good write up for this. I have one big problem. when I try to *228, it fails after just a couple of seconds and says,
“The number of SPC attempts failed 15 times from the network. Handset will free for 1 minute and will then reset.” I read a post that was obscure but said that the SPC should be six 0's Mine is not all zeros. I don't know how to change mine to all zeros if that is the case
Thanks
That is the case, for *228 to program your SPC code needs to be all zero's or all 3's (make it zero's though) just follow My Unlock pack and Instructions, it guides you through changing your SPC to all zeros.
Cheers.
RECOGNIZE
Qpst will not recognize my phone
thanks for the great info. as a note, changing the EVRC setting (#7) to 'Voice 13k' kills my phone connection; i couldn't make or receive calls. everything else seems fine!
About Voice 13k Settings
Read the settings again, maybe you missed something.
Check these four settings, also make sure you have used *228 and let it UPDATE your PRL, don't do it manually afterwards. Then check all of the above settings over again and you should be good. I have researched, tested, and used these settings for a long time.
EVRC should be disabled
Home Page should be Voice 13k
Home Orig should be Voice 13k
Roam Orig should be Voice 13k
Since your phone is digital, it uses a codec to determine how the voice data is compressed into digital. Voice 13k (Qualcomm's Purevoice) is the highest voice rate. EVRC (Enhanced Variable Rate Codec) benefits the carriers because it uses a reduced rate, which means less bits to stream, more calls to go around. Voice 13k is in fact the updated version of EVRC that our Digital phones have the option to select from. Voice 13k should be enabled for optimal voice quality.
Take Care
heres why your *228 doesnt work for you..
This is for the User Vickie that needed a little help.
In order to use *228 for Cricket You need to have a Cricket PRL already loaded on the Device meaning installed from PST. You also need the phones SPC code to be all zero's (000000) Then *228 will work fine. It will then update your settings and DL a new PRL if a better one exists. This is for Cricket. If that works out you can follow my settings over again.
hey ryan i have installed your V1.1 Heavy Cricket rom, works great, thxs a lot
neways i was going trough this and i did every step to the letter, now mine didn't work... so i have to ask you a few questions...
first, once i am done with this, and if i did it correctly, i can now make calls and internet right? (hopefully this is yes...)
ok so assuming the answer to the above is yes, then i have to ask.
On step 3, you say if we have your ROM we can just update the PRL from there and to skip the "update step". by update step i'll assume you meant step 4. but then in step 4 you say "for both people who had to restart and people who didnt" and then you say to dial *228
so do we do that even if we already have your PRL loaded?
or do we never have to dial *228 if we have ur prl file?
also, on the profiles, in the M.IP settings, my phone had "6" profiles by default, should i set it to 5 like yours or what?
ok i got everything working beautifully, thanks for the instructions... it's just that i wasn't supposed to dial *228, and i did
anyways, my internet works, and holy cow i get bursts of 2mbps!
well one last thing i gotta ask is... so my calling doesn't work, so i have to call cricket or something to have them switch it to mine right?
on a sidenote, do you guys actually use IE? isn't there like firefox mobile or something??
PST settings are not the Only thing that matters for Internet(WAP) or for MMS. The ROM you are using also has to be configured properly for Cricket WAP/MMS to work. My ROM does but not everyone uses My ROM.
This thread will get your Phone's 1X and EVDO set up correctly. Which will ensure that if your ROM is configured properly that Calls/Text/WAP/MMS will all work. But this thread is NOT the only thing that matters. Read the end of my TOP post and it tells you what the Thread sets up..
Now for your other questions: In this PST settings thread Step 3 says that if you are using MY ROM and the phone doesnt have a Cricket PRL loaded in PST that my ROM has Cricket PRL's copied on it to Update PST with(after updating PST with Cricket PRL phone will soft reset).
This means that YES you need a Cricket PRL loaded(updated) in PST before dialing *228 and then it will restart and then on with the rest of the settings. Dialing *228 gets a local(to your AREA) EVDO PRL loaded in PST(which is downloaded from Cricket Realtime) and sets up base PST settings so that this thread is easier. It explains that in the TOP post at the TOP..
ok in the version of your ROM that i installed, which would be the V1.1 Heavy, it says in that post this:
"Messaging and Connections settings: <--Please do not mess with these as they are fine tuned for CRICKET!! It will always work perfect for you if you leave it alone I cant be responsible if anyone changes anything but you can always post your problems in this thread and I will be more than happy to help sort it out.
"
and this; "Fully working and tested Cricket WAP and MMS/SMS with no problems! I did a lot of tweaks to registry and provisioning to make this possible as the base I used(1.3.4) was originally meant for Sprint!! I pulled a lot of "All Nighters" put it that way lol."
so i thought i don't have to set up my MMS/WAP...
and do i still have to call *228??
***EDIT***
i just called *228, and they said: "sorry we cannot program your phone"
my internet still works... but that's the only thing that works so far, i can't make calls. or send txt msgs.

Ok if you dont understand it just give up. Please quit cluttering up this thread with YOUR problems. a ROM's settings and PST settings are two different things and they both need to be set up right to work!!
MY Cricket ROM is already set up for WAP/MMS, but not everyones version of a Cricket Rom is set up perfect. But your PHONE's PST settings still need set RIGHT as a ROM does not touch that!!
PST settings are independent of ROM settings.
Your problem with dialing *228 is because YOUR SPC CODE IS NOT SET TO ALL ZERO'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPC code needs to be all Zero's and you need a Cricket PRL loaded (updated) in PST before dialing *228!
It says that in the beginning of this thread. No wonder I am mad. Read well before you follow through
You people seriously have to learn how to read things before trying something. Read, read, read, read, read. Until you fully comprehend what you are trying to accomplish and THEN mess with things.
Edit: My threads are not meant to BABY STEP someone new through the entire process of unlocking, flashing, and programming a phone. NOT AT ALL.. The threads are meant to Help and that is what they do..
ok... wow there
look the reason why i was asking is because you only included this link in your ROM posting thread, you did not include any other links or procedures...
same here, you only include information to do one thing, i see no relevant information pointing to the "other settings" you're talking about.
EDIT:
i had already previously unlocked my phone with another program, but just to double check i used your unlocking pack and followed the instructions. when i run BAF MSL Grabber, it already gives me my MSL code as being 000000, so i am assuming my phone is already unlocked.
but i went ahead and tried to go trough with your thingy anyways, and i got stuck at the ##3424# thing. none worked, ##3424# nor ##3424
i had to use the DIAG(DRMRouter) that took me a while to find in your ROM and i am in QPST right now...
hey Ryan... actually everything works, it's just i was unsure if i still needed to "go down to the store" to get my phone line switched to this new phone with cricket...
neways everything works... including mms, internet, so on so forth. i just haven't tested the gps
Awesome man, I knew I would fuel your fire to get it working. Thats why I am who I am lol. My GPS works awesome. Alot of people dont know this but Agps works with my Cricket ROM. Take care.
Updated the PST settings
I have updated this thread to clear up any problems with New Cricket users that have never had Cricket before. I re-phrased a few things and changed a step so that both New and Current users will not have any problems.
actually about what i said in my last post, i never tested the GPS on the rom so i don't know if it works...
i just know that if i go to google maps, it never locks on to a satellite, dunno why
oh btw, i had to tell yah, the reason why i couldn't dial *228 is because at least in my area, cricket won't recognize the 1050 PRL. everything works with it, but it just won't let me do the *228 thing.
i had to use the 1042 PRL, and then everything worked, just a heads up.
RyanMogul6800 dude not only do I want to say thanks for the settings thread, but your ROMs are awesome. Quick question to anyone who might be able to answer it, this is the first time I get a mogul not to work on mms, i tried all settings, and read through a lot of threads and still no dice, is it possible that the settings might need to be refreshed on the cricket network side? internet and sms work flawlessly, just MMS does not work, it stays stuck at downloading 0%. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Ok I have ryans heavy rom, and it may seem weird but I installed his mms wap fix from his sig and now it works flawlessly!
Glad you like, but MMS works on MY ROM without that CAB
My ROM works flawless without using the MMS fix CAB from my Shared Site. That CAB is for users not using my ROM or that have messed up their settings on their own.
Now assuming you already have PST set correct and that you are Using MY Cricket ROM.
First thing you do after MY ROM is booted up and running is MAKE SURE ITS UNPLUGGED and WI-FI is OFF! I hate when people leave the phone Cradled for all of their Flashing and Programming. It needs wi-fi off and needs to be unplugged to set up WAP. You need WAP (DATA) set up for MMS to work. So you want to make sure you have unlimited DATA plan with Cricket.
Now after the Phone with MY ROM is unplugged and wi-fi is off simply open up Internet Explorer and Navigate to a real webpage(yahoo.etc) and then enter the info and password click save. Done.
There are some cases after setting up with Cricket needing to call them again and have the account refreshed on their end. There are other instances where Crickets end takes a long time to refresh automatically on their own.
I really believe you ran into a Cricket account refreshing delay problem. Installing the Arcsoft MMS fix cab had nothing to do with why your MMS works now. Do not try uninstalling that CAB to prove me wrong as it will mess up the ROMs settings and will require you to hard reset.
What you could do if you really want to know for sure, is hard reset then let the ROM boot and set up the Internet with phone unplugged. After that I am willing to bet that you can send and receive MMS without installing the CAB we are referencing.
I am glad you like the settings and the ROM.
are you working on a WM 6.5 rom for cricket?
Thanks,
Scott
Some one PLEASE help i have tried to run several prl's including the 1007 i think it was anyhow (the latest 3g prl..) only 1x works for my raphael on cricket ...im getting frustrated... thanks
Wait... Cricket has 3G EVDO? No way... only seen there stuff work at 1x.

You will only get 1x on a CDMA phone flashed to Cricket. They use a different band for their 3G that is not supported by Sprint / Verizon Phones .. It's a Cricket Thing.
THANKS SO MUCH thats what i figgured i just needed a second opinion DAMN! HTC FUZE
Here i come
Uh well, not true. Def not true. Im new to this flashing stuff, only on my second day. I purchased my vogue already flashed to cricket but it was VERY GENERIC. No touchflo, nothin, just windows 6.0 nothin else. It was getting evdo signals at that time, but i needed to reset some registry settings, which i did and was getting evdo signals with working internet and mms....THROUGH EVDO......NO BS THIS WAS JUST a day or 2 ago. But, problem was, i put touchflo on it, and didnt realize that the previous owner had somehow filled up the memory on the phone with applications and files that were nowhere to be found. It was crawling...So my solution.....? I decided to re-flash it myself because i knew that would delete all the useless stuff on the phone that i had no use for. I flashed the stock sprint rom from the htc website to get the most current radio, then unlocked the phone, then re-programmed it. When i got the phone it already had the 1050.prl file on it, which is an EVDO PRL!!! Go to corolada.com and look at the left side of the page and there is a list of EVDO AND NON EVDO CRICKET PRL's 1050 being the most universally recognized. Fast forward to now, I have finally found a rom that is fast and clean that i plan on keeping. Well now theres a whole nother problem. My phone is no longer recieving EVDO signals. BUT CRICKET HAS WORKING EVDO I KNOW FOR A FACT I have had so many cricket phones that connected to pic messaging and internet through evdo. Im sorry if i misunderstood your post and you were just saying that a flashed phone from sprint cant get evdo, but either way, i know for a fact that a flashed sprint phone is fully capable of sending and recieving cricket evdo signals because i was surfing the net on my vogue through cricket evdo just a day or two ago. Can anyone figure this out??? IVE tried reloading the prl. ive tried different prl's. ive even tried puttin the original sprint prl on the phone and then changing it back to the 1050 cricket prl, and to no avail, no evdo signals. someone please help, im pulling my hair out. why couldnt i just leave the phone alone when it had evdo? why did i have to go and try to make it pretty?????
sound like it's not authenticating ##DEBUG# ,debug info,"HDR" it should be 1=Athenticated
if not, ##778# , M.I.P Default profile, Delete AAA & HA shared secret & resest

==========================================================
CRICKET PST Settings Thread! by Ryan Mogul
This is for people who want Cricket to work perfectly, just follow these instructions not skipping a beat and you will be OK from then on! If you are not having problems obviously skip this!
This thread is assuming that you already have your phone Unlocked(spc code all zeros) It is also assuming that you already have a CRICKET PRL file loaded in PST. If you have my ROM flashed than PRL's are on device memory we will get to that below.
1. Now first thing you want to do is have a good Cricket ROM installed like "clears throat* Mine lol.
2. Now if you are starting from a fresh flash OK, if you are starting from a Hard reset OK, we can continue. If you have a ROM installed that is having problems I recommend a hard reset and skip customizations using stylus when it says you have 3 seconds.
3. Now open your Phone Application and go to options and make sure smart dial is off. Then dial ##778 call button, now click edit and enter six zeros. Now click view info and goto PRL, now check to make sure you have a CRICKET PRL(1013,1014,1050 etc.. there are others)If you dont have one loaded and you are using my ROM then you can click update and it should goto main root, pick prl 1050. Let it do its thing and restart. If you already have a CRICKET PRL then skip the update step.
4. Now cancel out of EPST if you didnt update PRL. (for both people who had to restart and people who didnt) <--open phone application again and dial *228(this will make sure base settings are good so i will not have to explain as much, it will also download a local EVDO prl to where you are), it will dial cricket and do its programming thing. Do not interupt this. Let it do its thing even if it restarts. Now when you are back in action we can continue.
5. Open phone application and dial ##778 call button, now click edit and enter six zeros. In main page the only two things we are going to do is change the NAM name to Cricket, and check the MSID number make sure its a 10 digit number thats in your area code BUT it IS NOT your PHONE NUMBER!! If its fine we can continue, if not you may of skipped the *228 step so you need to do that or you need to obtain this from calling Cricket.
6. Now click view info and goto AKEY and make sure its blank, nothing there. Now click view info and goto NAM settings, NAM name should be Cricket, Mobile Directory number should be YourTenDigitPhoneNumber, MIN1 should be that other phone number the (MSID) that is not your phone number! but it should be 7 digits, ex: sevendigitnumber, MIN2 should be just your area code. MSID should be 10digitMSIDnumber <--again not yourphonenumber!, MCC should be 310, MNC should be 00, NMSI should be your MSID(XX10digitnumber<--not your phone number) THE XX'S should be zeros, ex: 007185548692, Now if all these settings in this paragraph didnt need touched assuming you didnt skip any of my steps(which they shouldnt be touched i am just making sure) we can move on.
7. Click view info and goto CDMA settings, we are going to make sure they are set right and change a couple things for Clearer voice transmissions, people will compliment how good your phone sounds even in some cases. EVRC should be set at Disable, Home page should be Voice 13k, the Two below it the Same Voice 13k.
8. Click view info click modem settings, change slot cycle index to 1, This will make the phone ring a little sooner, also get your texts a bit sooner. The other 4 options should be Auto, Auto, Enable, No in Order from top to bottom.
9. Click View Info and pick Security, now we are changing this regardless you must do this, we are going to Unauthenticate you and Re-authenticate, it is a Needed step everything in this How To needs to be done and Not skipped! Change the HDR Auth User ID to something bogus like [email protected], the passord below it make it something random but remember it, now do the same for PPP user ID and password but make them the same as the HDR ones.
10. Click view info and pick MIP Settings, Make sure Active Profile is on 0, MIP mode should be Simple IP only, MIP reg retries should be 1, MIP reg retry timeout should be 2000 ms, MIP pre-reg timeout should be 30, Mobile Node HA auth should be Disable, send a reg request should be Enable, dormant handoff to disable.
11. Click view info and pick MIP Default Profile, Enable profile should be enable, NAI should be [email protected], MN HA SPI set should be enable, MN HA SPI value should be 12c, MN AAA should be enable, MN AAA SPI value should be 2, reverse tunneling should be enable, home address should be 0.0.0.0, Primary HA address should be 68.28.15.12, secondary should be 68.28.31.12, HA shared secret and AAA secret should be cricket <--lowercase, DMU public should be 0, MN Authenticator should be 0.
12. Click view info and pick MIP customer profile 1 and make sure its Profile enabled is disabled. Now do the same with the other 4 below it.
13. Ok now click menu, ok and let it reset, but make sure not to do anything we are going to be going right back INTO EPST, so when it boots back up open the Phone application and dial ##778, we are going to re-authenticate you its easy, now click edit and enter six zeros, click view info and goto Security, now change the HDR AN Auth to yourtendigi[email protected], password should be cricket<--lower case, same for PPP user id and Password make them same as HDR.
14. Click view info and goto MIP default profile, make sure the HA, and AAA shared secrets are both cricket<---lowercase, then click menu OK and let it reset.
Thats it! PST settings are perfect for CRICKET, you have a Local EVDO prl file installed, and you are Authenticated for Data and EVDO, now if you used my ROM just go to internet explorer and goto a real page, and follow instructions but remember to click save password!
Thats done, every flash from now on should never affect your PST settings and you should always be authenticated. I hope this helps everyone.
Cricket 3g network
I just got off the phone with cricket customer service. I wanted to upgrade to there 3g network. The representative said,"the 3g is reserved for original cricket phones.
it doesnt matter if you put a 3g prl on the cdma raphael because it is a dual band phone and crickets 3g network only works on their new triband phones so your still stuck with 1x and evdo
I have a new what i was told is an unlocked atrix on the sasktel network. i can call and text but i can't save my apn settngs to get my internet working. the wifi works fine but not the network one. please help, my provider won't
What are your current APN settings? Go to Settings >Wireless & networks > Mobile Networks>Access Point Names
Neither will mine. Unlocked Bell Atrix on MTS.
I have no APNs listed, and they never show up once saved.
Not sure what other network settings are..but I'm unlocked on Telus and my apn settings are: sp.telus.com
When I first entered them I had so.telus.com and had phone and SMS but no mobile data until I realized my typo.

Hello buddy,
i had the same problem and the solution that i found is to set a new apn and just set the following choices
1. Name
2. Apn
3. port
All other choices left blank.
I did that and it works perfect.

Tried that.....i can enter all the settings that is fine. but as soon as i click the menu button to "save" it goes back to the main page and shows no APN settings saved
Are you rooted?
If yes try to change the /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/telephony.db add the apn in there
no i am not rooted i did not want to do that till i knew i got everything running.
I tried and tried to get the Bell Atrix to work.
APN Manager: no luck
Network Info II: no effect when settings changed either in OS or APN manager.
Whenever an APN was typed in, it would "save" (proven by APN Manager) but not be selectable, it just disappears once menu-save.
Returned it and purchased a Nexus S, took all of a minute to get data working.

Perhaps i didn't explain correct.
Make a new apn change the first four choices and left the other unchanged(not blank)

i am rooted now. can you explain this method a little bit for me
i cant just change the first four because the MCC and the mnc are not registering i have to enter them manually. my provider says it is not reading them from the sim card for some reason. i rooted the phone now. i am going to try getting into it from there
The easiest way I found was download SQLite editor. Its a few dollars. Then open it and click yes for root. Go to dialer storage then telephony.DB. then carriers. Add your apn to the list. If eceything is correct it should work. If the phone does not read the mcc then you may be screwed though.

(all settings I left blank, leave blank, make sure you press menu, save to save)</br>
2) Enable Airplane Mode
(hold power button for three seconds, select Airplane Mode)
3) Open Root Explorer
4) Navigate to: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/
5) Click on "telephony.db"** (this should open the db using SQLite Editor)
6) Select "carriers"
7) You should see a long list of APN settings for various carriers, Push the menu key to bring up the menu. Then goto new record and fill out the details from there. Make sure that the _id is sequential from the other records.
8) Press back twice to close the SQLite editor and you should be back in Root Explorer. Close Root Explorer.
9) Disable Airplane Mode

there is an _ID collum on the far left that goes from 1 to 80ish on my phone so when u fill that out im assuming you will have to make it sequential. 1 2 3 ... 85 etc etc
Ok i finaly got in there my carriers setting were in there but i added a new one with the new settings and i still have nothing
well my only other sugestion is to flash the 1.2.6 sbf and then OTA update to 1.5.7
