##778# Hacks
I can't take credit for these, but they work...
Shorten time/ number of rings to answer
Credit to Elkay
Thread
Here is a tip from the 6700 forum that works on the Touch (credit to Elkay in the 6700 forum). You may have noticed that when someone calls you it may take several rings on their end before the Touch begins to ring. The reason for this delay is the “slot cycle index,” or how often your Touch polls the towers for an incoming call. Default appears to be about 5 seconds—way to long. Of course, as always, there is a compromise to be made—the more often it polls the tower, the more power it uses. Anyway here is the hack:
To do this, you will need your MSL number, which only Sprint (or your provider) can provide you.
1) Open up the phone app and dial ##778# (PST).
2) You will be asked to enter your MSL. Enter it, and you will be brought into the provisioning of your phone.
3) From the top left, select Modem Settings. On this page, your Slot Cycle Index (SCI) is how often your phone polls the tower for incoming calls, etc. This value is 1.28 seconds multiplied by 2 (i.e 0=1.28 secs, 1=2.56secs) with 0 fastest, 7 slowest. The default is 2, but lowering it to 1 hasn't noticeably affected my battery life, and roughly 2.5 second (SCI 1) response time is far more reasonable than roughly 5 seconds (SCI 2).

Force EV-DO/1X, quicker ring response
Same thread
Here is another tip from the same 6700 post by Elkay.
1) Follow steps 1 through 3 in the Shorten time/ number of rings to answer tip:
Also on this page is your preferred operation mode. The Default is Automatic, which is the best available mode (EV that will roll back to 1X when EV is unavailable). There are times when you might be in a fringe area and your mode may cycle frequently and this can seriously drain your battery. Setting this to HDR will force EV-DO only if you demand an EV-DO connection. Changing this setting to CDMA Only will force the phone to ignore an EV-DO tower and maintain only a 1xRTT connection.

automatic is best under most circumsatnces.
Automatic works better
i tried the other settings, for some reason, when i call myself on LAN phone, it goes straight to voicemail
Anyone else have a problem when entering the ##778# on the phone dialer? I have been getting random errors (67 and 1012) so i called sprint yesterday to try and resolve them. I was told to type in ##3282# (i think) to enter a service menu. It does nothing.
I press the green talk button to bring up the dialer, type ##778# and nothing hapens. If i press the green talk button again, it attempts to dial ##778#. Anyone care to give me a heads up on something stupid i am missing here? Thanks.

do not any buttons ... dont need to call out, just ##778# and let it sit for 1 sec
Tried waiting....nothing. Called tech support, they were baffled, suggested hard reset. *sigh
Time to pull everything off and reset.

I had this problem once. Make sure you don't have some sort of custom dialing skin on. These won't let you access special ## codes. Didn't notice that untill l couldn't get a phone activated with a CSR and figured that was the problem.

actually different dialers as well as different radios wont allow the codes to work right. i always changes the things i need first and then load the goodies on there.
Ill try that. Anything to avoid a hard reset. I have so many little BS apps on this damn thing. Probably good to clean it up anyways.

Got it fixed. I removed a bunch of programs i had installed. Dont remember which one actually did it, but i had a bunch of UI tweak programs installed. Thanks for the help guys.

I had the same problem until I found this thread. After removing "EquinoXe Wizard reTOUCHED Dialer" and soft-rebooting, it worked.
## # & error code
or 91 , 94, 71, 1012 errors are Registration/Provisioning errors. You have to contact tech support 1 800 639 6111 to have them re-provision your services. More than likely your PRL check sum ,User name, HA Shared Secret (should always be the word "secret") or your AAA Shared secret (randomly generated by Sprint) is invailid. In any case, they would have to reset on their end.
As far as the ##data# if you dont really know what your changing, I'd do some research first

OK, maybe I am the last one to know this but how do I find my MSL code on the Bell Mobility Touch?
You can get the MSL by using a program called GetSPC.
There is a link further down in this post:
http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=151852
Do be careful when forcing your phone to use EVDO only -- you won't be able to make/receive any calls or SMS as both of those services require the use of 1xRTT.
is there a way to debrand the sprint htc touch? i'm using it outside the USA!!

"Unlock"?? You're referring to a CDMA Touch, right (which is why you're in the Vogue forum)? I don't think you can unlock these. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the only carriers using CDMA are Sprint and Verizon (in US). If you wanted to use this with a GSM carrier (ATT, T-Mo) you wouldn't be able to regardless of what you do to the phone.
If you are referring to the MSL number, please read the post that you, yourself, quoted.
Enjoying my desire so much, only thing is I Can't figure out of how to get internet to work outside of wifi. If anyone could post the Vodafone vpn settings for this it would be much appreciated. Many tx
I assume you mean APN and not VPN. It depeds upon what kind of SIM you have (PAYG, contract) - just call VF and they will give it to you (or, search their support knowledge base on their web site, it's in there too).

Wow double posting...
Well I need help. Ive had this problem for WEEKS now. I need MMS. dunno if its the settings or the cab or wat. anyone with the combo help.
Just so you know, this does not belong in the ROM development thread so don't be upset if a moderator moves it.
Have you tried changing your MMS settings? Does data work on the phone? If you are using the stock SMS program, you should have no problems getting MMS to work just fine. First you will need to set up your Data connection:
1 - Tap Start > Settings > Connections > Connections
2 - Tap the Advanced tab > Select Networks.
3 - Under "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet...", click New...
4 - Under the General tab, type "T-Mobile Data"
5 - Under the Modem tab, tap New... and type "Data" for the name of the connection and select "Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)" from the drop down box. Then tap Next.
6 - Enter "epc.tmobile.com" for the Access Point Name (APN) and tap Next.
7 - Leave the username and password fields blank. Tap Finish.
8 - Under the Proxy Settings, check to select "This network connects to the Internet" and also check "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet"
9 - For the proxy server, type 216.155.165.50 and then tap Advanced.
10 - Tap HTTP and change the port to 8080. Tap OK.
11 - Tap WAP and type 216.155.165.50 and enter 8080 for the port. Tap OK.
12 - Tap OK until you return to the Today screen.

Click to collapse
Once you do this, you will need to set up your MMS:
1 - Tap Start > Settings > Connections > Connections
2 - Tap the Advanced Tab > Select Networks
3 - Under "Programs that automatically connect to a private network...", select "T-Mobile Data", which is the SAME connection you are using for your data.
4 - Tap OK until you return to the today screen.
5 - Go to your messaging and tap Menu > MMS Configuration.
6 - Tap the Servers tab > New.
7 - Enter MMS in the server name field.
8 - Enter 216.155.165.50 in the gateway field and 8080 in the port field.
9 - Enter http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms in the Server address field.
10 - Select "T-Mobile Data" from the drop down list and select WAP 2.0. Tap OK to save your settings.
11 - Scroll to MMS and tap Set As Default. Tap OK to save your settings.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After a soft reset, this should get your MMS working. Send an MMS to yourself to test if everything is working.
First I would like to ask you what phone do u have and for what company is that phone phone. I can tell from your Tmobile sign that you have tmobile. Also what rom do u have. Im using Mighty rom right now. Also I have Arcsoft For Tmobile cab(lastest one) installed on the phone. Do I need it or no.
Forget it. It worked!!!!!!!! OMG THANKKKKK U. YOUR THE BESSSSSSSSSSSSSSST. U know how long im looking for my MMS to work. I tried tons of things. THANK GOODNESS. someone finally helped me fix this. good work freakingwilly
I'm surprised noone noticed he said a Sprint TP2 (CDMA) on T-Mobile service (GSM). This is simply a prank thread, a CDMA phone will not work at all with a GSM carrier.

2 radios.
Well, that's a first for me. So the Sprint TP2 still has all the GSM equipment inside AND a sim card slot? Kinda nifty. Apologies to the OP then.
I also came across that bit about the Sprint TP2 having GSM/UMTS and CDMA/EVDO radios. That interests be a great deal, because I'm pretty sure that ATT runs on 850MHz for GSM and 1900MHz for HSDPA. I also believe I noticed those frequencies were supported by the Sprint TP2's (Gobi?) radios, but require 2 separate Oli unlockers to use on a stateside GSM carrier, and hopefully be able to utilize Verision's 3G network in places where ATT's does not exist. Verizon has EVDO Rev A in the vast majority of backcountry places where I like to kick it sometimes in the contiguous 48. When I first read about "Gobi" a year or two ago, I thought that it was pretty frickin' nifty.
So far through my asking, somebody said it wouldn't work on gsm/edge or umts/..., and another said that only 2G would work. I like having my about-to-be HSPA+ in a 30 mile circle around my house and other sufficiently populated areas, and I got Cingular back in 2003 so they're pretty chill about when I pay my bill and sometimes I manage bill-eliminating account credits when they screw up my account/orders and crap. It's crept up from $60 a month when I first got my wizard with unlimited data/sms/mms to $103 and change. The idea of being able to have my original Cingular SIM card in a CDMA phone and get all of my HSPA 7.2 goodness when it's around/better battery life when not using data and operating on GSM, and use EVDO Rev A when I need something faster than EDGE for tethering. Best I've gotten on EDGE is 15 kB/s.
If the CDMA TP2's can be that kind of awesome thing described above, I might work more to maintain a simultaneous account with Verizon postpaid when I go on road trips with some no contract goodness, and temporarily disconnect my no contract ATT postpaid when I do. That would be seriously awesome. If it can't be done on a flavor of the Rhodium, does anybody think that the next version of the real sliding qwerty with a tilting screen HTC device will be able to operate on all of ATT's frequencies, as well as Verizon's? I saw something about the Mondrian, but it doesn't have a keyboard and is therefore disqualified.
Also, not really excited about WM7 or Android because I don't see any Android sat nav apps that use an enormous map image on one's microSD card instead of being reliant on a data connection for maps, and WM7 is supa'shaky for local maps sat nav since it's not even out yet, and both TomTom and Garmin no longer manufacture their WinMo products, which is retarded since the garmin boxes run on CE and it's $100 of almost pure profit, even with an enormous piracy rate. If Android gets a ballistics calculator, herb strain guide, and local map sat nav with preferably NAVTEQ maps I might just jump ship if I can keep it from communicating with Google. I don't want Google knowing knowing any more about me than they already do. I've had Gmail for a long time, and the ads aren't quite creepy but they're ubertargeted.
9 - For the proxy server, type 216.165.155.50 and then tap Advanced.
10 - Tap HTTP and change the port to 8080. Tap OK.

Why in one part do you have 216.165.155 and the next 216.155.165?
Is that a typo? If so which is correct?

Hypocracy much?
I know you tried to contribute to the answer, but you lack the necessary details that would be required. My original post may have been long, but the first thing that the OP said was that they got it working and left thanks. Continuing to reply to the thread (especially with these kinds of comments) are unnecessary and only bump up old threads.
Just like mom always said "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
Request to close please.
worked!
Worked! on a US Cellular phone running mightyrom on the t-mob network (obivously) Cheers!!
I am curious I f I can use this method:
tropicalbrit said:
Let's get you some good data speeds. First, go to Settings - System Updates - and update PRL.Once that finishes, reboot.
Go to Market and get MSL Reader. Open the app. If it asks for "Superuser Privileges" then accept. It will tell you a 6-digit code. This code is unique to your phone. Write it down, but you can always get it again.
Go to Phone (Dial ##3282#, Choose edit mode) and enter your MSL code
select Data Profile
Hit the menu button and choose restore.
Just sit there, your phone should reboot. If it doesn't, then hold the power button and reboot.
Your phone should do "Hands-Free Provision". Once it says your phone has been provisioned, hit "Okay".
Once it starts to check for PRL update, hit cancel.
Go to Phone (Dial ##3282#, Choose edit mode) and enter your MSL code. Select Advanced, scroll down to RTSP Proxy Port and HTTP PD Proxy Port. Click on them, set them to 0 (zero).
Set RTSP Proxy Address and HTTP PD Proxy Address to 0.0.0.0
You should now have about as good 3G speeds as you can have on Sprint.

Idk if that'll help or not but if it doesn't, you could try the 3g turbo charger. It's a script that you can run using script manager from the market.
Sent from my Supercharged MikG'd up EVO 4g while eatin some Chop Suey.
Hit that thanks button if I managed to help.
Good Morning.
(Really) Hoping I can get some help here and this doesn't wind up another dead-end thread that people look at once and pass on...
I am attempting to attach this phone to a lab setup using my own WiMAX base station.. The rub is my Radius is configured to do TTLS authentication. The default WiMAX setting in the phone is TLS and it does not appear to be edit-able even after entering the MSL.
Is there a hidden menu where I can change the device to allow TTLS vs. TLS.. Or alternatively, where can I overwrite the default x.509 cert with my own x.509 client cert so I can perform TLS authentication against my own AAA?
My other option is using the Motorola Photon Q, but again I'm running into the same issue on that phone, Locked to TLS with no option to edit...
Thanks,

Anyone? Anyone at all?
To get to the Menu you want go to the Dial pad, and type ##3282# . It will ask you EDIT, or View. You want EDIT. It will then prompt you for your MSL. It's a six digit Password. Enter the Password. Then choose WIMAX. The settings to Enable, or Disable TTLS / TLS are there. If you do not have your MSL, you can download MSL Reader from the Play Store.
