For everyone with data problems, I think I have found the solution

Ok, so I know a lot of us are having data issues and some are not
I think I may have figured it out
It is most probably because you ordered from a 3rd party retailer that didn't program the phone properly.
I ordered from Wirefly, and they never programmed my MSID, just the cell phone number
1. So, call tech support and have them reprogram your phone. They will give you a ##xxxxxx# code, then you enter in your cell number and MSID
2. let it reboot
3. update PRL, Firmware, and Profile in that order. Restart again
you *should* have better data connectivity.
PLEASE REPORT WITH RESULTS

Its called data reset and you can do it by your self if you ask them for the MSL number...
The MSID should be in the phone already if its activated the other SSID or w.e. Is your phone number
But good looking out for others who dont know

see, when i came to sprint, i ported from another carrier...as a result, the cell number and MSID are different
maybe we are the ones who have sucky data? with a MSID diff than cell? I'm still sure the MSID has to be programmed in for everything to work correct, even if its ure cell #

No if those numbers are wrong even by one number your phone will not be ativated
(I believe)
I think it just resets the phone signal to server/tower but frequently check for prl and profile updates that always seems to help a little bit especially when traveling out of your normal usage area

This. The only way to know what your MSID should be is by looking in our system.
The other number in question is the MDN.

so is my msid and phone number suppose to be the same or different?

Honestly, I have yet to figure out any type of pattern as to what numbers are assigned. However, most commonly, it is your MDN that is the same as your phone number (PTN).
There's no good general rule of thumb to go by. Sometimes both of them are the same. Some times they're in different area codes as your PTN. Can't say I've ever seen an MSID be the same as the PTN without the MDN being the same as well. But anything is possible.
If you want, you can PM me your phone number. I don't work until Wednesday, but it only takes a couple clicks once I get in. I'm willing to do this for people, but within reason. Just PM me.

The MSL can be found by downloading "terminal emulator" and typing "getprop ril.MSL" It is case sensitive.
From there, go to the phone, and type ##72786# , at the SCRTN screen select yes, let the phone reboot, let the activation go through its thing NOT TOUCHING THE SCREEN unless it tells you to. Let it do a reboot again.
This will do everything in OPs post without so much hassle.

I have figured it out......they are the same if you got your number from sprint
if you ported from another carrier, then MSID is different

LOL..same here!! The mms issue was killing me since I use that a lot

So even if you have your MS, MSID etc, is there a way to reprovision it without having to call Sprint (If you got your phone from Sprint)?

Yes. ##SCRTN# in the dialer resets the radio data (msid and mdn and a couple other obscure codes); think of it as a hard reset only for your activation. Upon reboot, the phone will go through hands free.
Also, ##"your msl"# takes you to the manual programming screen

How do we do a data reset using the ##3282# menu?

Never been able to figure that out, it contains info that I would have to call in to support to find out what it's supposed to be.

You can get your MSL if you're rooted.
Just open Terminal Emulator (in Market if you don't have it) and type:
su
getprop ril.MSL
Ta-Da!

Ok, n00b question. Do I have to be rooted to use terminal emulator?
I am using Terminal Emulator Pro and when I enter getprop ril.MSL and hit enter, I get nothing but the next line. Also, everytime I enter the ril.MSL part, the "i" changes to capital "I".......is that the problem? I assume I an not supposed to use the quotations either right?
Also, another n00b question, what is SCRTN? Is that just the phone dialer screen?

How to get your MSL without calling Sprint, or CDMA Workshop or the MSL market app

I wanted my MSL code to play around with some settings on my new Epic 4G Touch.
I've heard many times you can just call Sprint but I've never really had good luck with this. One time we got it for my friends phone after calling 4 times.
On my own EVO 4G, I used CDMA Workshop and then later there was an MSL app that came out on the market that pulled it too. Unfortunately, this MSL app does NOT seem to work on the Epic 4G Touch.
Someone told me an easier way to get it on this phone. I'm sorry I forgot who it was, it was burred in another thread somewhere on another forum. Anyhoo, it's super simple. I know this isn't anything new but people seem to still ask. Anyway here goes:
1. Download "Terminal Emulator" from the app market.
2. Open Terminal Emulator.
3. type in getprop ril.MSL (make sure the .MSL is capitalized)
4. Press enter and poof, you have your MSL code.
Again, not a new method, but people still ask. Not sure if it works on EVERY ROM, but I know it works on most of the custom ROM's.

Thank you, works like a charm!

Good tip, but I wonder if this is just a Samsung deal. This method doesn't work on the LG or HTC handsets that I've tried in the past, but works great on my OG Epic and Epic Touch.

I found this in a guide a while back and saved it. Hope this helps some people, pretty simple as well. I've also ran the same thing on some HTC devices and it worked.
In CDMA Workshop - "Click the terminal tab enter this into command box: 41 74 64 77 61 6F 70 then click send. Now click the security tab and read SPC the current SPC should come up."
You can also try running "REQUESTNVITEMREAD SEC_CODE" in QXDM. May have to run "Password 01F2030F5F678FF9" first to unlock the phone.

[MOD] [GUIDE] GPS without Data signal! Works on tablets too!

I take no credit for this guide. i found it on the nexus s 4g dev section.
Master Ramy is the O.P.
so any shout out, fist bumps, high 5's, hitting of the THANKS button- make sure to send them his way.​
im always going to remote areas with no service. its always really crappy when gps fails and i have to pull out the fishing, hunting, atv map out from behind the seat.
this isnt going to fix all my navigation issues, but it should help.
i hope many of you find this useful. i havent tried this yet but it suppose to work with all androids.​

below is a copy/paste from the link above (just trying to spread the love)​
[GUIDE] GPS without Data signal!! Works on tablets too!
credits to Coycane, he showed it to me, I'm just giving you the guide.
I use it on my Xoom with great results, so I can follow the car the whole way without needing internet as long as I open maps when on internet.
The way it works is simple; a Garmin GPS unit doesn't require internet to get you places, so why would your phones GPS? In reality, it doesnt.; the GPS hip can b programmed to communicate independently with the satellite, allowing you to be more Mobil without needing Internet!
But maps needs internet to start, so what I do is open maps, get my directions so they're on map, then I can turn off internet and the GPS lock will stay and follow me.
Its very simple; starts out the same way you'd do a prl hack;
1. Get your MSL number. Do this by getting an app from the market called terminal emulator. type in: su (hit enter) getprop ril.MSL (caps sensitive, then hit enter) your MSL will be there. It will be a 6 digit code. Write this down for later!
2. Install drivers for your device on your computer. Look up a Youtube tutorial on how to do this. It was the hardest part for me.
3. Download QPST. Link is below. On your computer, extract the QPST file, open it up, and double click on setup. Go through the installation process.
If you want to make a nandroid, tho it probably won't backup this section and I doubt ull have issues anyway, now would be the time to back up.
4. Go back to the phone and open up the dialer. Enter this: *#*#8778#*#*
5. On the menu that pops up there will be a section labeled "USB". Change it from PDA to "Modem"
6. Back to the computer. Hit the start menu and open up device manager. Double click on "ports" and you should see your device there. at the end it will look like this: (COM#). Write down the number at the end of the COM.
7. Hit the start and search for QPST and open it.
8. Now go to "start clients" and hit "SERVICE PROGRAMMING". It will ask what port you will be modifying, just click your device and hit ok.
9. there will be these tabs with CDMA, CDMA-2, ESN, etc. Click on the one that said "GPS or GpsOne". On the left check all boxes, usually phone has only 1 checked. REMEMBER what ur phone originally had checked in case you need to go back.
10. Finally, hit "write to phone". The phone should reboot, and you're done!
11. Once it boots up, go back to the dialer and enter the *#*#8778#*#* code again. Change it back from modem to PDA and you are done!
QPST: http://www.x-drivers.com/catalog/fla...pst/12051.html
Make sense? And no, this hack is not dependent on any particular phone or tablet, should work on all androids; worked on my Xoom perfectly. Try it and best of luck!
Let me know if u have any questions or need any help. I've found it extremely useful on my wifi only Xoom because I can always know where I am without having to tether from phone first
Enjoy,

I am also having a problem getting the hidden menu to pop up. Since ICS it wont work. And I tried to go back to stock ICS and it still wont work. Does anyone have a fix for this?

doesnt google maps already do offline mode? and im pretty sure you can use gps with data off or else there wouldnt be a point in having offline maps, but im not 100% just a though

yeah google maps have an offline mode if you saved the map of whatever location you wanted beforehand. But, i'm not sure whats the purpose of this mod because GPS works without DATA already... so maybe its for preloaded maps? I got lost reading the OP and decided to breeze through the comments but that didn't really clear things up lol.

My GPS does not work without data...
Going to give this a try

Some other benefits of GPS working without DATA being on is using the phone as a golf gps. Battery drains pretty quick over the 4-5 hour period and not having DATA on could save a lot of battery. I tried using a golf app without data and it didn't work or maybe it was just the app.

I am unable to get the MSL # on both my TouchPad and GS2, I know others are having this problem as well. Has anyone found the reason and a solution? Thanks in advance.

Enabling DTMF on SGS2

I am running FI27 and have noticed I am having issues with keypad prompts on automated call systems.
I have searched high and low and cannot seem to figure out how to enable long DTMF.
I also noticed that getprop ril.MSL isn't working in the terminal, and yes, it has SU.
Thanks in advance.

you could try this?
