##778# Hacks
I can't take credit for these, but they work...
Shorten time/ number of rings to answer
Credit to Elkay
Thread
Here is a tip from the 6700 forum that works on the Touch (credit to Elkay in the 6700 forum). You may have noticed that when someone calls you it may take several rings on their end before the Touch begins to ring. The reason for this delay is the “slot cycle index,” or how often your Touch polls the towers for an incoming call. Default appears to be about 5 seconds—way to long. Of course, as always, there is a compromise to be made—the more often it polls the tower, the more power it uses. Anyway here is the hack:
To do this, you will need your MSL number, which only Sprint (or your provider) can provide you.
1) Open up the phone app and dial ##778# (PST).
2) You will be asked to enter your MSL. Enter it, and you will be brought into the provisioning of your phone.
3) From the top left, select Modem Settings. On this page, your Slot Cycle Index (SCI) is how often your phone polls the tower for incoming calls, etc. This value is 1.28 seconds multiplied by 2 (i.e 0=1.28 secs, 1=2.56secs) with 0 fastest, 7 slowest. The default is 2, but lowering it to 1 hasn't noticeably affected my battery life, and roughly 2.5 second (SCI 1) response time is far more reasonable than roughly 5 seconds (SCI 2).

Force EV-DO/1X, quicker ring response
Same thread
Here is another tip from the same 6700 post by Elkay.
1) Follow steps 1 through 3 in the Shorten time/ number of rings to answer tip:
Also on this page is your preferred operation mode. The Default is Automatic, which is the best available mode (EV that will roll back to 1X when EV is unavailable). There are times when you might be in a fringe area and your mode may cycle frequently and this can seriously drain your battery. Setting this to HDR will force EV-DO only if you demand an EV-DO connection. Changing this setting to CDMA Only will force the phone to ignore an EV-DO tower and maintain only a 1xRTT connection.

automatic is best under most circumsatnces.

Automatic works better
i tried the other settings, for some reason, when i call myself on LAN phone, it goes straight to voicemail

Anyone else have a problem when entering the ##778# on the phone dialer? I have been getting random errors (67 and 1012) so i called sprint yesterday to try and resolve them. I was told to type in ##3282# (i think) to enter a service menu. It does nothing.
I press the green talk button to bring up the dialer, type ##778# and nothing hapens. If i press the green talk button again, it attempts to dial ##778#. Anyone care to give me a heads up on something stupid i am missing here? Thanks.

I had this problem once. Make sure you don't have some sort of custom dialing skin on. These won't let you access special ## codes. Didn't notice that untill l couldn't get a phone activated with a CSR and figured that was the problem.

actually different dialers as well as different radios wont allow the codes to work right. i always changes the things i need first and then load the goodies on there.

Ill try that. Anything to avoid a hard reset. I have so many little BS apps on this damn thing. Probably good to clean it up anyways.

Got it fixed. I removed a bunch of programs i had installed. Dont remember which one actually did it, but i had a bunch of UI tweak programs installed. Thanks for the help guys.

I had the same problem until I found this thread. After removing "EquinoXe Wizard reTOUCHED Dialer" and soft-rebooting, it worked.

## # & error code
or 91 , 94, 71, 1012 errors are Registration/Provisioning errors. You have to contact tech support 1 800 639 6111 to have them re-provision your services. More than likely your PRL check sum ,User name, HA Shared Secret (should always be the word "secret") or your AAA Shared secret (randomly generated by Sprint) is invailid. In any case, they would have to reset on their end.
As far as the ##data# if you dont really know what your changing, I'd do some research first

OK, maybe I am the last one to know this but how do I find my MSL code on the Bell Mobility Touch?

You can get the MSL by using a program called GetSPC.
There is a link further down in this post:
http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=151852

Do be careful when forcing your phone to use EVDO only -- you won't be able to make/receive any calls or SMS as both of those services require the use of 1xRTT.

is there a way to debrand the sprint htc touch? i'm using it outside the USA!!

"Unlock"?? You're referring to a CDMA Touch, right (which is why you're in the Vogue forum)? I don't think you can unlock these. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the only carriers using CDMA are Sprint and Verizon (in US). If you wanted to use this with a GSM carrier (ATT, T-Mo) you wouldn't be able to regardless of what you do to the phone.
If you are referring to the MSL number, please read the post that you, yourself, quoted.

Please help with my #777 connection issues...

Whats up everyone? I just upgraded from an apache to a vogue. I went through the steps to get it on metropcs and it worked fine. When it still had the Alltel rom on it I called metropcs and added the web service. I set it up and it worked fine!!!!! The only problem I had with it was everytime after I disconnected the username and password cleared out somehow.
When I updated with the alltel rom I forgot to soft reset before the provision .cabs installed. I read somewhere to do a hard reset and soft reset before the provisioning. Now no matter what I do when I try to connect it always says the username or password is wrong. I have even tried upgrading the rom and its the same thing. I do know how to setup the connection and everything. I have done it before. All of the proxy settings are correct and I changed it to simple ip only.
I double checked and made sure that the internet was working on my real metropcs phone and its fine. Some help would be greatly appreciated.

Go into your espt ##778 or ##778# and check your M.IP fields under the M.IP default profile and the M.IP settings profile. Not being familiar with metro but knowing they are very similiar to cricket I would suggest changing the MIP mode to SIP from MIP preferred as you have done. That may fix it in itself as the big carriers use MIP authentication where cricket does not (assuming metro follows suit.) If not check your username and password settings under epst security tab and NAI fields under the M.IP default profile.

I had the wrong password or username problem and what I did was activate my old phone, get the data connected on that phone, then reactivate my vogue, *228, remove battery procedure and magically it worked after that
of course this was after days of going through all sorts of settings, qpst, cdma workshop and all sorts of stuff I can't even remember that seemingly did absolutely nothing

woodicw: Well i had the same problem with my alltel 6800 and wow that battery magic trick sure worked...LOL...QPST couldn't even help...LOL...I'm so glad I own a Vogue as well or i would have never found this.
Thanks-a-Million for sharing that information. Cheers!!!

EVO Up on alltel, little help?

So, Got a sprint EVO for cheap. Sprint had the ESN flagged on sprint network because the owner of the phone's account hasn't been paid. Sold the phone to me, I restored it to factory default, running latest stock 2.2.
Steps taken to get to where I am now:
Used CDMA workshop (licensed 3.5.5) to read the SPC code, rewrote the spc code to 000000. I put an Alltel PRL file on the sd card, same one as my mother's Alltel Hero. Rooted the phone using revoked windows app, replaced the EPST.apk with the older version to allow ##775# (prl change), applied my PRL. Activated the phone on alltel, no problem at all getting it activated.
Call text working great... THEN... using CDMA Workshop, in the EVDO tab (similar function in QPST would be the PPP tab) and entered the HDR user name/pass, in alltel's case, UM is [email protected]/alltel and AN is [email protected]/HEXESN. Set under M.IP to have Simple IP only (read that this will fix the "data call failure" errors) Set profile 0 as active and changed the values to what looks to be the same from the Alltel Hero of my mothers only with my cell number in the fields. Set all nam values such as channels, MCC, etc.. correct, flashed. I then edited the telephony.db to alltel's MMS settings.
Phone's current state, what works, what doesnt..
3G is working great, MMS works perfectly, calling is perfect, SMS is perfect...
1X doesn't work AT ALL:
if I enter an area i KNOW 3G doesn't exist, it doesnt switch to 1X like my eris that i programmed to alltel did, just drops data completely if there's no 3G...
I don't seem to get the Data Call Failure message much at all up until I try to run the "wireless tether" app, it pops up like CRAZY and 3G disconnects every time it pops up.
Phone says I'm roaming constantly, I know I have the latest smartphone PRL for my area and MCC codes etc in the nam are set EXACT to my mothers htc alltel hero and hers doesnt report roaming at all... what gives??? Maybe this is the cause of all my problems...
##DEBUG# screen > EVDO, at the bottom, says AUTHENTICATED and I have an IP address, stays solid like that in a 3g area.
Anyone like to help me out? What values do I may have incorrect for 1X to entirely not work at all but 3G works just fine??.. Being that 1X doesnt work, it seems to cause issues sometimes initializing a connection because it seems like 3G goes dormant/sleep after a while and maybe relies on 1X to be connected to keep a constant connection to the network. And.. this whole Data call failure thing is just obnoxious? Anyone truly find the result to this? Obviously has something to do with sprint, 4G is turned off, all the sprint .APK's are removed.
Being that the phone still has sprint options in Mobile Network Settings such as "Roaming" "Data roaming" etc.. could this be causing problems? How do I go about removing ALL of sprints network options on this phone???
thanks a whole lot... excited to see this phone working on the alltel network, would like to press on and get it working flawlessly.

Hey Steve I remember you from over at HoFo. Your Eris info helped me out getting some of my own issues worked out. I am still interested in what work you did to get your mms working in and out. I looked at the telephony.db once but didn't place a lot of effort in to it. So as it stands I get incoming but unable to send mms. So any insight from you would be greatly appreciated. But I will try and see if I can help you with what you have going on.
First I found that programming the Evo was more of a pain than when I did the HTC DInc on Alltel. In my area PRL 31005 is pushed to Alltel smart phones. It is the same PRL I used on the DInc with no issues. The Evo would insist that I was roaming with it. I switched to a non-divested PRL(30057) and haven't had an issue since. Google "answerman prl" for the download for Alltel PRLs. I have rocked with that PRL for over 3 months now. My roaming option is set for automatic in the mobile network settings and the only other thing I have checked there is data roaming, which I can disable with no problem.
Now if you go back to your HoFo thread I wrote that when I got the Evo I only had 1X data. It wasn't until after I went back over your thread and some other stuff that I managed to get 3G working. I used CDMA workshop(3.6.0 Licenced) And wrote the same things as you did. Only I have Mobile + Simple IP set and profile 1. Now I will say this. First I tried to set to profile 0 but when going into ##DATA#, the phone would always insist it wanted to use profile 1 even after having previously writing the data. So I created another profile in CDMA workshop, duplicated the data I had for 0 and made 1 active instead of 0. I had also previously never had issues with the "Data call failure" until the past month or two. After I rooted and moved from the stock rom I used CM6 for a good while even flashing nightlies and never had a problem. I only moved back to a Sense based rom when I was trying to troubleshoot an issue where my data would disconnect and would not re-establish for several minutes or until after a reboot. I was using juice defender at the time and incidently this was also around the time I updated my radio/PRI etc. So when I went to a random Sense rom this error message threw me off and I was sure something was wrong with the phone. But I have seen plenty of posts about it so idk. I run Myn's Warm 2.2 now. On rls1 I would get the DCF's frequently but not so much on rls 2, maybe once in a blue moon. I don't use juice defender anymore and I have also stopped using Set CPU as it conflicts with my current kernel anyway. *shrug* So no idea what truely makes the phone happy and not give me that error as much.
Hope this helps you.

Wow, that was a MESSAGE.
Thanks a whole lot for that.
For MMS:
When I use anycut to access the APN's on my Evo it shows it shows no apn's at all. I didn't add any and left it alone. Now...
I have attached the telephony.db file I edited with Root Explorer and SQL Lite editor. If you open the file in the editor, you'll see what I changed... It was simply an APN specifically for MMS use, changed it to alltel's values and.. BAM, perfect MMS.
Path:
/data/data/com.android./providers/telephony/databases/
Permissions are to be set to
USER: READ CHECKED - WRITE CHECKED
GROUP: READ CHECKED - WRITE CHECKED
No other's checked.
After replacing the telephony.db file, no reboot required, you should be set to send and receive MMS without any issues at all. If it fails, restart the phone or force quit messages and relaunch.
I will try that PRL you mentioned above, I am also on 31005... reports as the same PRL on my mother's alltel hero though, hmm.. doesn't make sense of why my phone still says I'm roaming.
I will also play with cloning profile 0 and profile 1 and switch back to sim+mobile IP mode...

Thread moved to Q&A.

Thanks I will give this a roll when I get home this evening. I hope that some of what I've given you will be helpful. I've been enjoying the phone and I will enjoy it even more I know once I get the MMS thing cleared up. Keep me up to date on what's going on.

Played with everything, did exactly as you said, still no 1X, if I go to ##data and tell it to use CDMA only (turn EVDO off), it just goes to no data at all while my Eris would just stick to 1x in that mode.
odd.
Can someone explain WHAT it is that allows a handset to receive the HA/AAA shared keys when a *228 activation is requested?
We all know that taking for example a Sprint phone and applying an alltel PRL to the radio ... that when activating it WILL NOT receive the HA/AAA keys for data...
Is it the AKEY ? Is it something else in the memory?
An old PPC6800 I have that was SPRINT.. it was a bugger getting data to work, just would NOT receive the HA/AAA keys or anything when *228ing the phone, as soon as I applied the Alltel Rom with the Alltel NV items, it activated without an issue and received all the correct NV items for data and all, worked perfect. How can we do this with the latest smartphone?...
Is it possible I can clone the NV items from my mother's HTC Alltel Hero and write them to my sprint Evo ?
What do you guys think?

Steve check your PM
I never had to do this myself so don't know how applicable it is.

I installed the file and assigned the permissions, now app just blows up when I try to send a pic msg. Any ideas?

STRANGE !
What messaging app are you using?
I am running stock latest OTA... So all the stock apps are installed, minus all the sprint stuff and a few other htc pre-loaded software I have taken out with root explorer.
Should be working perfectly. I have no idea what the deal is.
Did you go to Messages>menu>settings>connection settings and see if the values have changed?

I use Chomp SMS but it did the same with the native messaging app as well.

That's really strange. MMS still online and working flawlessly for me on alltel.
Phone still says I'm roaming though. Mother's HTC Alltel Hero in the same town is not roaming, both flashed with the same PRL and the NAM info looks identical in cdma workshop.
You sure your APN lists are empty? Mine is, no APN's at all in the APN viewer.

No 3G only 1x - Cloned ESN Swap

Okay, I have a GS3. I swapped the ESN (Evo 4G) and now I can't get 3G
The only time I have 3G is on a stock Rom with the MD4 Modem but even than it feels like 1x.
I've tried all the radios, with no luck including the MD4 one. I've been trying to get it working the past two days now with no luck.
Someone PLEASE, please PLEASE help me?

Im not on sprint, but what does it show as the Mobile network type under Settings: About Device: Mobile network type?
I was messing with my phone and had changed the settings in ##DATA#
I was getting 1x only so I had to change the HDR/1x Selection under Data: Others. Hybrid works the best for me, but you could try changing to "LTE + CDMA + EVDO Mode. When I selected CDMA only then it only got 1x and not full EVDO/3g.
If that's not it did you have to enter the HA & AAA secret keys to get data to work?

Just browse the data menu but do not touch korean mode ever.
for HA and AAA Keys noted aboved its within the Data Profile in the menu of MSL,
let us know if this helps,going to be honest I am a noob but I can research these things as I have been doing so passively trying to fix my own problem

Thanks for the help guys. I was messing around the other day in the settings and somehow wiped my username and MSID. I got the username back, now I'm trying to get the MSID so i can get my phone back on Sprint. I"m an idiot sometimes... lol
As soon as I get back on Sprint I'll let you know how it works out!
Thanks again

To get msin you can just do phone activation through menu and if that doesn't work a sleight tech can provide a new one

CDMA not working

I'm afraid my CDMA radio is broken. (At home my LTE signal isn't strong enough.)
I only used it half a day before sending my Verizon HTC One to Colorodo for S-OFF. The signal then seemed fine. I didn't set it up until i got a case for it yesterday. First i installed the GPE by newtoroot (because it was smallest to download) and everything seemed fine but i honestly don't remember, then installed the other 2 custom roms both only giving me LTE only.
Things i've tired so far that haven't worked:
1. I restored my nandroid of the Stock, but got the same thing.
2. I've tried all the custom roms but still can't get CDMA to connect.
3. I tried the RUU, (since a few parts of it are corrupt, i had to leave out system and recovery) then flashed a custom rom
4. I changed some settings in the ##778# menu (copying my Inc 4g)
5. I've installed LTE on off to easily change radio options.
6. I've tried a different sim from another verizon smart phone line
I've also tried combinations of those, but still have not gotten my CDMA to connect.
Does anyone have any other ideas for me?
Also, if someone doesn't mind giving me their settings in the EPST menu (##778# then edit mode) for CDMA Settings, and Modem Settings, I'd appreciate it.

Here's the CDMA and Modem info from my EPST menu. I'm not rooted or S-OFF though so I'm not sure if there will be a difference.
CDMA:
A-Sys Primary: 283
B-Sys Primary: 384
A-Sys Secondary: 691
B-Sys Secondary: 777
MOB_TERM_FOR_HOME: Enable
MOB_TERM_FOR_SID: Enable
MOB_TERM_FOR_NID: Enable
EVRC Enabled: Enable
Home Page: EVRC
Home Orig: EVRC

MODEM:

Preferred Serving System: Automatic

Good luck! :good:

ok, now i'm getting 3g (CDMA) so i feel like it might not be a broken radio, but it does tell me that i'm roaming and when i make a call I get verizon wanting me to enter a credit card. When i switch to 4g it doesn't tell me that i'm roaming but when I make a call then it immediately disconnects and data works fine (I think verizon still uses CDMA for voice).
I would much appreciate another favor if someone doesn't mind giving me their settings in the EPST menu (##778# then edit mode) for Home SID/ NID

#1 is 26392/65535
all the rest are 0/0
hope this helps.

My Home SID/NID #1 says 73/65535
I'm thinking that and the A-Sys/B-Sys numbers are by region which might be why your phone thinks you're roaming.

What did help was changing my prl to an older version, but i'm still not entirely sure what happened and why my phone messed up like it did.

I was able to fixed my problem with the newest decripted ruu from zarboz found here
once i ruu'ed i turned off fast boot in power settings and i turned on gps then i did 2 factory resets. 1 from the rom and 1 from the bootloader.
edit. sorry if i duplicated post in other threads, i just hope when someone else has the problem then it's easy to find and fix.
