Sprint Touch (To cricket then android)

[Kasaki]

I have a chance to get a touch for 40$ which is a good deal right?
Also can I flash it to cricket and internet and all will work and after I flash it I could put android on it correct?
I could easily find out how to flash to cricket by reading but am confused by the android part isnt it flashing a new rom so I couldnt connect to cricket? Thanks will be back tonight to reply so leave as many suggestions as possible
Thank You all :)

after you have flashed you touch to what ever rom works for you. there will no need to flash it for android because android as it is will not replace windows. andriod runs off of the sd card. just read forum for android on the touch it should any question you have.

What are the downfalls to android?

What are the downfalls to android?

with Android running off the MicroSD, texting works only partially (Sprint/Verizon texts give "bad SMS encoding" errors) and web not at all due to Cricket's dumb proxy settings

this is the case with the XV6800, and i am sure the Touch will have the same dilemma

and web not at all due to Cricket's dumb proxy settings

I got it working by editing the default APN and setting up the proxy that way.

how did you get the APN to work with cricket using android and vogue. what are the settings, theres so many to input. Also for some reason i can make calls or anything is this becasue im not connected to a network?

:confused::confused:Can you make calls or not? :confused::confused:

If you can't call or recv is your ESN in the cricket system.

Did this just start happening?

If you can not make calls but can recv calls go to EPST setting/CDMA setting and change the following..
EVRC enable = enable
and the three below it change to EVRC
make sure you have cricket PRL
HOME SID/NID are correct
ESN matches cricket system
MDN/MIN are correct

Everything works fine now, call and text. However mobile web is still a no go. In the new Ion build there is no APN settings program, just APN under settings for the android. When I add my user name and password to my current APN it still wont log on.

Web works on mine. reset your modem settings using the modem icon. You may have to dl a new modem app though.

The APN settings should be the same as the settings you used on the window mobile settings, wap.mycricket.com port 8080 etc etc.

How do you change the modem settings? Ive entered all the information in APN like user name,password, por,t proxy, is there anything else you said..... meaning theres more?

So what are the correct APN setting to make these cupcake builds work on Cricket???

[edru]

actually at this time i have no idea if it works or not as they removed the ppp.username ppp.password from teh default.txt and from then on it seemed to have killed the data connection.

All i did was go into the wireless networks settings, or APN settings in wireless settings and modify teh defulat. I changed all the settings that you would in WinMo and left the rest as they were and it all worked. Currently trying to download a new system image file so I can test it.

But only in browser not through any of the apps or activate my google account. i have been reading and they say its because of cricket port wont let us reach out. also there has been mention of buying cricket 15 html plan but is there a proxy bypass or workaround out there thank you

The HTML data plan is a good work around but is not a 100% sure fix because in different markets it also works through the Simple IP. There are other work arounds like the broadband hack. But that requires a broadband number.

I know this is a bit old but has anything changed here to make Android market/data work on cricket data plan? I am still confused as to what settings in android to make (followed all of whitey's instructions for cricket)
