And dont tell me to use the search box. If you know a better way to search be my guest and let me know. Maybe I dont know the terms used that will yield good search results.
It seems to me that every one abandoned the TP2 before ST = (StraightTalk) started the Bring Your Own Phone Program so this may have never been discussed yet.
So I got the voice, SMS and data working. But my phone is still trying to connect to sprints server to download the pictures people sent me via MMS. Where do I input the MMS settings ST gave me? The only setting I could find was for APN and when I updated that the data started working. The rest of the fields are not there with the APN.
I am using the AT&T sim from Strait Talk. I have the Sprint TP2 with my Straight Talk sim card in it. Set to GSM only. The worst part is EDGE speed is slower then Sprints 1X.
A nice guy help me fix this here at this link in post 2 and 3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28468462#post28468462

Has anyone figured out to make the nexus s work properly on WIND Mobile. I tried using the guide that was made for the samsung vibrant but the main command needed (*#*#197328640#*#*) doesn't work. I was able to get both data and voice/text working (havent tried MMS and voicemail yet) but the network is not displayed as WIND Home, it actually says 302490 (which is part of the APN setting)

Let me know if anyone figures out how to get everything working
Ill edit this post if i come across any new information.
Thank you
That's really weird. Let me know how it goes mines on its way and I'm on wind as well.
A generic Android way:
On dialer, dial *#*#4636#*#* and select phone info, then choose WCDMA only.
Hi. I've found this site to be very helpful in my attempts to activate an Alltel HTC Hero cdma on the Page Plus network.
I finally got the phone to make calls, but it says that I'm roaming - there's a triangle above the signal strength meter. I checked it by making a call and it charges me the roaming rate of $0.29 a minute. I think I need an updated .prl file, but I'm not sure.
I'm able to send and receive text. I cannot send or receive MMS or connect to the internet.
Maybe someone here can help me. Please
Phone will be used in Berlin, WI 54923 (Near the following cities: Appleton, Oshkosh, Neenah, Fond du Lac)
Original phone details:
Alltel network, but Alltel is no longer in my area. Alltel customers were sent to Element One. I don't know if this affects what I'm trying to do.
Phone # (MDN) 920xxxxxxx
MSID (MIN) 9202900444
SIN/NID 1/65535
MMS Server url mms.alltel.com/servlets/mms
I rooted the phone and got my MSL (000000) number and made the following changes
Phone # (MDN) 920xxxxxxx
MSID (MIN) 9202799238 (from Page Plus)
SIN/NID 240/65535 (got "240" from Page Plus, they couldn't give me a NID number so I used the same one)
MMS Server url mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms (got this from searching on forums)
I downloaded a .prl file via KittyWireless manual programming instructions kittywireless.com/pageplus/pageplusmanualprogramming.html
I updated the PRL from my sd card by dailing ##775# and "commit changes"
When I make a call, I'm always asked to re-enter the 10 digit phone number I'm trying to reach. I've tried the following OTA programming numbers *228, *22800, *22888, *22890, *22891. I always get the following "Message AP 32 Welcome to US Cellular ..." It should be Verizon or Alltel, right?
I thought I might be using the wrong NID number so I tried 65335 (which I think is for Verizon), but it didn't make a difference. Still roaming and same messages when I try OTA programming.
I don't know if this means anything, but when I dial ##DATA# to edit mode I can choose either Data Profile, EVDO, or Advanced. If I choose EVDO, I get a blank screen. I can't make any changes.
So, I'm thinking I need a different prl file. Would this affect my data connection for internet and MMS too? What do you guys think? Can someone direct me to the right PRL file?
I've spent hours trying to get this phone to work... if you have any suggestions let me know.
Thanks!
PRL Update...
Hi there..
I've found the following PRLs useful when using Sprint Phones on Pageplus, so perhaps they will help with the Alltel Hero. I've used 51425m on my Alltel Hero on Pageplus. Worked like a charm. The 52505m is the latest VZW EvDo PRL.
Noticed the thread is old, but may help anyone else trying to do this.
Ive been trying to get 3g data working with my Nexus S on Pageplus.
All I can get is either a good 1X data connection or a slow, intermittent 3g connection.
I will try these PRL's when I get home.
Thanks!
any luck on getting this working yet ??? I can not find any solutions anywhere
You contact your carriers
8=D
I've did the QPST setting changes do it and I have Talk Text and 1X internet working but 3G and MMS still remain a mystery to me even though I've changed the APNs on this sucker.
Another thing to note is that when I edit the PPP AN username, it reverts back to the sprint username instead of the one I edited it to cricket. The UM actually sticks but not the AN.
been trying to figure this out for a while. Then I may just dump this rom so no one else has to bother with such a hassle
Any progress yet I'm trying to find the info on doing the same?
I have made progress, I'm down to just figuring out how to fix video play on 3G and mms settings. I do have 3G working now and it's pretty fast on the cricket network, about the same speed as using my 7Mbps (or mbps, I forgot which) DSL internet. 513kb download and 533kb upload.
Do you know how to make a backup of a rom on these 8600? I can't seem to update from 2.1 without it being hooked up to a sprint network or something. And the two roms I found on the internet 2.1 and 2.2 are not doing it, because the 2.2 has issues reading the NVRAM info and the 2.1 has problems with the camera feature on the phone (the camera just stops working...)
I'm gonna post a guide to this once I figure this out, I think this phone deserves it since no material is on the internet for it. If someone google searchs this and finds this post, can you please help me with backuping up my rom? xD
I've got 3G working good but any ideas as to what's still causing mms to not work? I've unpacked the Mms.apk and saw no references to the provider in it and I took a look in telephony.db and saw that the APN settings were correct for cricket. Any other files that affect mms settings on sprint phones (or androids in general?)
sanyo zio
hey how did u get the 3g to stick in qpst an settings i have been tryin for along time to get it to stick
I've checked the forums and while I see some mentions of ATT configs I don't see much for TMo.
I have a Lumia 710, and a tmobile version Straight Talk sim. I had the sim cut by TMO in order to fit the phone and calling and texts work well. However I can't enable the cellular data. I checked Straight Talks setup info and in Android it's as detailed, but in WP7 it's a lil different(I guess mms and APN are in diff pages).
I tried just setting APN to wap.tracfone and nada. Is there anyone else who is having or has had this issue to give some suggestion? Again, most of what I've found here and elsehwhere are all about using an ATT sim.
EDIT: Not sure if it's necessary to note, but I had to flash the 1600.3031.8773.12121 firmware from australia, no network there just says Australia 227.
EDIT: I also have the the Nokia Network Setup app due to this, but it gives me no options just auto does whatever and says "T-Mobile". The APN settings that have worked for me in the past is to set the APN and port alone, however the APN settings in WP7 want a proxy/url with a port. I've seen this mentioned in another post from April after some more googling, but o replies there also.
Hi all
As a T-mobile UK customer I have been finding that I lose internet on my phone every 6 or 7 days, typically lasting for about 6 hours.
During my last converstaion with support I mentioned that i had the following in the APN settings
[email protected]
They seem to think that it might be a Tmobile USA profile and hence the problem (how the wrong APN could work for 95% of the time is beyond me).
I did take the handset to the USA last year but did not have data roaming turned on. Does anyone know how i ended up with the wrong APN? A quick google search returns no results for the APN listed...
I have since manually changed the APN and things seem ok (for now).

Whoops.... I have just found out where the the APN settings came from.
In an attempt to get my MMS working I just ran the HTC Connection Manager. For the first time in 1.5 years my MMS is working but I have noticed that my new APN settings say [email protected]
So it seems that HTC use APNs that T-mobile UK are not familiar with? Annoyingly I have no way of viewing the new APN or editing it
Does anyone know which settings the HTC connection manager uses? I am concerned that although MMS is working, if my internet connection goes down again, the UK helpdesk might just shrug their shoulders and pass the buck to HTC, who in turn will pass it back
Ok so I spoke to HTC UK today, they told that they have no way of finding out what APN their app uses, they suggested that I use the generic T-mobile APN that they have on their system, which I did and the MMS stopped working again.... so I ran their app and alll is fine again (for now).
I guess that I will have to try to email HTC. It is rather annoying that MS decided that customers shouldn't be allowed to see existing APNs.
I do have a dev account, tbh I only subscribed so that I could get mango early, if that means that I can sideload something that will show me the APN in use then please feel free to point me in the right direction.
Cheers
