ok i got the ev icon back and i can ping wap.mycricket.com but anything else i try to ping it just hangs and never responds (but it can resolve the hostname to an ip address).
@token, i deleted the autostart.sh and rebooted my phone. then i tried to manually do what you requested a few posts ago and it's still having the same issue. I can only ping wap.mycricket.com and anything else i try to ping never comes back.
any ideas? if it helps i signed up for the 40 dollar plan. not sure if this requires the 50 dollar plan or not.
thanks!
 
if u activated the account with the hero, u will need to have c.s. provision the free wap on your account. for some reason when u activate a c.p.e. it never gets provisioned correctly. that should solve your issue
 
Call Cricket Customer Service and have them 'Refresh your Mobile Web'.

This might be all that is needed. The CS Reps there know what that means from their end, although it's horribly technically misnamed.
 
just an update, i saw one dev talking about making a market app that would do the "phone" portion of the setup for us, in the mean time i was thinking of making a update zip that can be flashed from recovery that should work for both Hero and Eris, and possibly the motodroid with slight modification, probably any android for that matter with slight modification.

Ill update if i get the time to work on it, shouldn't be too hard though.
 
quick update, i managed to get web going. the problem was my account, it needed to have a "mobile web refresh". o and I was able to get the ev icon back after loading the 1050 PRL. i tested my phone with both damage's rom and fresh and they both work. I like fresh's better so im currently running that.
MMS fails to download the picture, is that expected with this rom? again im running fresh's latest rom. I also did the MMS's part of brandon's tutorial. any ideas?

how can i verify that im running 3g? also i get network errors sometimes (fails to connect while in the market or browswer) is that normal? i retry the actiont and after a few tries it proceeds.

i appreciate everyone's help, i really do!! thankssss!
 
AWESOME !!!

For MMS you still need to do the MMS portion of the setup from the first post, or you can use APN Backup and Restore from the market and change the "Production" line in the APN to:



just replace the XXX's in user with your telephone number.
 
Ok most of you are far beyond me in modding your phones, but just wanted to report a couple of strange things with the new "LEAKED" 2.1 ROM

Seems when the phone goes into sleep mode it turns off the EVDO connection and it take a few seconds or more for it to come back when you wake up the phone.

Got it to work with both WAP and Data Profile connections (yes it's rooted) but EVDO works without any special hacks ... just the PST settings from Ryans post with some minor tweaking for personal perferences.

EVDO will randomly drop off (possible radio issue) ... just guessing ...

So, if anyone has any suggestions for ROMS to try based on this would like to here them ... Tried Damages 2.08 dialer seems mucked up can't ##778# but that seems to happen on a lot of the ROMS I've looked at recently.

Thanks for the input and the help.

:buddies:
 
Isn't that an Eris ROM? and there are plenty of ROMs cooked up on the leaked 2.1. I think you might want to do some research.
 
followed your instructions. backed up my apn settings to the sdcard, opened it up with notepad after mounting the sdcard on windows. changed per your instructions, restored the apn settings via APN back up and restore and now i get the following error message:
"transient failure"

anyone knows what it means?
 
That's better than what I got which was message could not be sent.

did you by chance edit the following: numeric="00000" mcc="000" mnc="00" to reflect your settings.

I adjusted mine to read:



Just a suggestion.
