Not getting any signal -- Sprint

**BooDaddy** · #1 (**permalink**) 08-04-2010, 11:08 AM

I am playing with the latest andorid build for the TP2. I have a Sprint TP2, and android boots fine and everything seems to look OK.
Except for it will not setect any networks and doesnt get any signal.
Is this normal?

goto wireless settings and make a new apn and it will work. search the project android forum and someone posted the apn settings its easy i have sprint too.

are you getting data?

do you have force cdma enabled in either the boot utility or startup txt?

I have added:
htc_hw.force_cdma=1
to my startup.txt

I have als tried the APN trick, but it wont let me save it cause its asking for me to put a 3 digit MCC number in. I cant find any specific settings for the APN for Sprint on the forums. What are you using?

im on sprint, using the blazn build. i havent set any APN's and its been working fine for me.

it took me a few restarts / loading android before it picked up service for me.

oh btw, did you take your sim card out?

**BooDaddy** · #7 (**permalink**) 08-04-2010, 01:58 PM

Yeah Sim is out. Going to try the blzn build in a few and let you know how that goes.

Try these APN settings. MMS works for sending, but not incoming.

Here are the settings for your Sprint:
Go to Wireless & Network>Mobile Networks> Access Point Names (APN) select it or if is not there make a new one with these settings

settings: APN
Name: internet
APN: Android
Proxy:<Not set>
Port:<Not set>
Username:<Not set>
Password:<Not set>
Server:<Not set>
MMSC:http://63.215.195.152/servlets/mms?X-SPRINT-MDN=(10 didgit phone number)
MMS proxy:<Not set>
MMS Port: 80
MMC:310
MNC:995
Authentication Type:<Not set>
APN type:<Not set>

better yet try this startup.txt. thats what got it working for me. of course as you know you have to replace yours with this one.

I'm using TELUS (Canada) and the only difference (crucial) between the stock android startup.txt and yours, was the "CDMA=1" (stock, it's set to 0). Once I changed that value and booted up android, the phone got on the network without hesitation.

Thanks, and thanked
