This would be a great help.

[raulrobles07]

how? Can you explain?

@dsmel..
please share how you can disable sprint vision.. i am desperate to get internet working on this device. As i live in indonesia, therefore, sprint vision is useless here...
i only could have done it worked for call & txt msg (SMS) only... (u will need MSL code, working PRL, and ucdma/cdma workshop to enter a-key to use to another carrier on your country)...

still waiting the solution to enable web working in treo 800w (by disabling sprint vision) thru my carrier's line... (tethering via office proxy ok, via wifi ok)..

i have web but gps doesnt will upload the flash that is on my phone soon in new mexico

[vansky]

actually, i also have flashed mine to get web enabled (with indonesian CDMA operators - Smart / Flexi)... got them thru here: http://howardforums.com/showthread.p...3#post11805763... however, the GPS still not working... using googlemaps, the internal A-gps not being recognized at all...

pop over to the Howard Forums just mentioned above, for:


Treo 800w- which is going to be more mule-headed- it or me (to keep pluggin away)?



1. This Treo 800w is being a bit grumpy about the
MEID # (14 digit hex, 18 dec digits)
ppc-del-URL-not-enough-posts
ppc-del-URL-not-enough-posts

2. Perhaps I need something other than
getSPC (can't get a valid # for ##3282#)
or ppc-del-URL-not-enough-posts (errors out - yep have MS .net file)

3. ##3282# (hash marks for fellow cell noobs)
doesn't take the getSPC output from the pESN Hex (8 digit),
among the other digits I've tried.

4. Does a hard reset wipe the # of MSL attempts?
Or DOES a Treo 800w lock you out after a # tries?
I haven't hit a complaint/lock out from too many tries via 3282,
I've been very reserved about entering many tries.
You'd thought the prior guy that had done the work'd be nice enough to 0 out the MSL... oh, well! =)

5. I knew buying a project phone all-ready flashed to cricket would be
interesting, but.... wow.
611 & *228 activation both goes to Cricket.
I need to change the programming to my phone # & the PRL (had a friend at a Cricket store change my ESN- this model confused 'em, so it's in my ol' CNE-turned-noob-cell-tech hands)
At least this is more fun than the SMT soldering I did at Cincinnati Microwave 20 yrs ago! (Anybody want a ATM detecting Radar detector?)
& I won't run outta juice w/ 4 batteries, 2 wall chargers & a battery cradle charger!

6. I decided it might be easier to take a stab at keyboard entries
after a few days of trying to get a PC prg to work on 3 XP-sp3 boxes.
CDMA workshop 2.7 hasn't gotten me anywhere yet,
& the current demo version seems to be way too com-port restricted to be any good.

7. (Is this demo CDMA-W version useful at all for 800w tinkering?)

8. I'm getting random port acquisitions;
felt sweet for a moment when com port 8 lit up & read all the ESN/MEID etc. data
upon UNI_cdma.
Then *poof* connection went away.
The crazy part is blowing away the drivers & yep, it refinds the HW.
3rd rig & 2of the 3 sees the 800 randomly
(though I've read the phone radio has to be on v/s off for BAF )
Could be the too-fragile USB male end is loose, within the phone,
though the phone is charging via the USB connection...

9. Darn shame I can't use my PC bluetooth, instead of USB- unless someone has gotten REALLY creative out there?...

10. The 800w CD still eludes me- All the prgs weren't working when I got this beastie;
but the 1st hard-reset restored ALL the apps- MS Excel, etc.
Is there anything of merit on the CD?

11. Does the LED only pop on when it's attached to the PC?

I'm REALLY interested in hearing about

Thanks kindly!
