cricKet data settings for Android
Its pretty straight forward, but I have recently received a bunch of mesages from people asking me how to set up a data connection for cricKet on Android, so here are the steps.
Settings>Wireless Controls>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names>
From there select the default APN probably simply titled Android
From here we plug in the settings that we would with Windows Mobile:
Name: Cricket (Doesn't Matter, More for Labeling Purposes)
APN: Cricket Mobile Web (Doesn't Matter, More for Labeling Purposes)
Proxy: wap.mycricket.com
Port: 8080
Username:10DigitNumber@mycricket.com
Password: cricket
MCC: 310 (This is the default value)
I would assume you would make the following change for cricKet, as you would in the PST settings, but when I save, the APN deletes itself. Please test on your end. Data WILL work if you leave setting at default. I just think this could be the one setting preventing us from authenticating with google.
MNC: 00 (Default Value is 995)
Everything else I left as is. This will get data running but WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO ACTIVATE YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT. This has to do with the proxy (I think). If you know a way around it, or further settings to change please make me aware so I can update.
Menu>Save
Then stop and restart the modem.
At this point you should have an active data connection. If it doesn't work RIGHT after the stop/start of the modem, give it about a minute.
I have not tested any MMS settings.
I'm sure this will work for any phone, but I have only tested on Vogue - so I place it here in the Vogue forum.
