Sprint HTC Arrive manual data programming?

iusauser · #1 (**permalink**) 03-02-2011, 01:28 AM

Hi, since few years ago, in Mexico some people have purchased and programmed manually CDMA devices (mainly Sprint and verizon devices), to use it in Iusacell`s CDMA network (Mexico); from HTC Apaches, Moguls, Diamonds TPs, TP2s, Evos, Epics...

I only want to find some information to programming WP7 CDMA devices like the HTC Arrive. In WP7 CDMA devices is there something like EPST? Anyone has tried to find the SPC code with existing tools in WP7? Is possible to connect these devices to a PC and use tools like QPST?

..wait!, now that I think about it, the HTC Arrive seems to be the first Windows Phone 7 CDMA-based device ..then maybe this is something premature

.

Any information?

Thanks in advance !!

in the marketplace you can find HTC App called "Connection Setup". When you run that it tells you what country and carrier you are configured to... You can manually change that selection - and if you want to chose a different carrier you can select it from a long list - it appears to have all carriers together (GSM/CDMA)...

Now the funny thing - I am with Sprint (obviously) but when I run this tool - it shows me as part of Verizon Wireless - I chose Sprint and set it - but still seems to say Verizon... Strange -- but hey it works. I am not 100% sure what this program does yet but this might be what you are looking for!

This HTC Connection app totally borked data on my phone and also for many other users on XDA. Beware.

This is what is happening with my Arrive. Worked great for 3 weeks and then I just went to look at the Connection Setup app and noticed it was saying I was on Verizon. So I manually configured to Sprint and boom...lost my internet and cannot get it back.

Spent 3 hours with advanced tech support and still cannot get back online (other than WiFi). What did you do to get it back? Just a hard reset?

About 3 hard resets trying the manual OTA programming each time.

you can look and fix evdo settings via built-in tools, or QPST.

Hello,

I was wondering if there was a "tutorial" of some kind that would teach me how to use my Arrive on Verizon Wireless. I'm a WP7 developer and I got my phone from Microsoft before the HTC Trophy was released. I prefer the WP7 over my stupid iPhone. I found a link in this thread to a process someone took, but I do not understand the vocabulary used.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forums.

Although getting the Arrive on Verizon Wireless directly seems like a next to nothing chance because the ESN isn't already in the system you could call in with an ESN and see if it would work. I've not known of too many instances where a Sprint phone was able to get on Verizon through standard procedures.

I got mine on Verizon's towers by going through the back door so to speak via Page Plus and doing a little manual programming of the settings. I haven't gotten the data part working yet only because I haven't made the time to do it. Plenty of Wi-Fi to make the phone buzz right along
