Moved>>> Palm Pre on Cricket - Setting up Data Connection - Gray Ev/1x symbol

**cachaca** · 07-15-2010, 05:43 AM

I have
I have followed most guides that came up on Google searches... and most of them are wrong and/or incomplete.

I have my phone on Cricket, and I can make/receive Voice calls and send/receive txt.

Yesterday I believed I had finally gotten data to work... but alas, I was wrong.

The phone does seem to create a data connection, I even have an IP address in the stack:

root@palm-webos-device: ifconfig ppp0
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:10.98.9.201 P-t-P:172.29.98.34 Mask:255.255.255.255
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1480 Metric:1
RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:25 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:3
RX bytes:752 (752.0 B) TX bytes:1646 (1.6 KiB)

HOWEVER, I am still unable to use the data connection...

I do notice that the Ev icon flashes from White to Gray several times before going to Gray and staying there.

I am not a CDMA guru, but it is as if only 1/2 of the handshaking is done at this point, and the Gray state means that the second half of the authentication/handshake is failing.

##DEBUG# shows me what appears to be a healthy connection, with AAA authenticated and even an IP address.

I Have used ##EVDO# to set different data connection protocols, and all of them (1x, Hybrids, EVDO only) yield the same result. (Gray flashing).

Has anybody gotten to this point... and actually found the fix?

Can anybody point me to the location in the filesystem where some sort of CDMA data connection Log is kept? I am fairly networking savvy, and if I can understand why the handshake is failing, I will fix it.

Any help would be greatly approeciated.

Cheers!

So... the data connection is workingin in some level.
I can perform name resolution and ping specific hosts.

for instance, ping wap.mycricket.com returns valid pings from 10.132.25.254

Piing [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] properly translates to 74.125.157.99, but the pings time out.

None of my phone apps can retrieve data from the Internet.

The firewall tables built in to the phone are actually rather lengthy... but I did not spot anything that would prevent me from browsing.

I am at the end of the rope here... if anybody has any ideas... I am willing to give it a go.

Moved to the cricket Palm forum. Please review the posted rules and post in correct area.

Are you sure the proxy has been set? I don't know much about the Palm's, but on most of the phones you need the proxy properly configured to route requests to wap.mycricket.com:8080. I know for a fact that you can resolve names and have the incorrect proxy settings to access said sites. You'll see them and be connected to the network, but your browser (or phone) settings need modification.
