Concerning the Sprint PPC 6700

[larryjbjr]

I don't know if any of you can help, but here goes.

I have a Sprint PPC 6700 and cannot receive incoming calls when transferring data over their EVDO network. I have heard that this is an issue with their PRL or something, but don't understand all that stuff.

Do any of y'all know how to hack in and fix this problem?

If you're using EVDO "internet" the phone should ring, and the EVDO connection should be temp. disconnected. It should not disable incoming calls.

I know of no hacks, but you can use Wi-Fi, and the phone at the same time...

John,

Unfortunately, larryjbjr is describing a problem with the current Sprint 6700. The link included in his post gives more information, but April-1 and newer versions do not ring through when there is an active EVDO connection.

You should check the forum again. One member there (mjreddy) got a test update ROM from sprint and it has a fix in there. Worked on my phone without any problems. Hope this helps.

There is a PRI 1.18 patch over at pdaphonehome.com works great. No need to hard reset either.
