HTC Touch Pro & Cricket?

[varg]

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to get an HTC Touch Pro for use on Cricket. What's the difference between a hard and a soft flash? Also, will Internet (WiFi, not Cricket's crap), GPS & MMS work with Cricket if I get a Touch Pro flashed for the Cricket network?

If not, what other compatible Windows Mobile phone works best with Cricket?

thanks!

It seems nobody is going to give you a answer. I will try to do my best...

I got a HTC Touch Pro flashed to Cricket in Fresno, CA.

Everything works. Not great, but works. For some reason IE only works no Opera. Internet is dialup speed...NOT EVDO. MMS and SMS work.

This will get you started...

Awesome! Just what I was looking for man... I REALLY APPRECIATE IT! I just purchased teh Touch pro but I found out my job requires BlackBerry heh... Will make a nice gift for one of the family members though.

(I need to quit living inside of Gmail, these Comptia Certs are killing my brain).

My Touch Pro was flashed in Houston, TX and everything worked fine except MMS, (although the guys that did the flashing said MMS worked). Anyways I have MMS working now thru trial and error from what I learned on Howard Forums. Also with the issue of Cricket not being able to receive emails because of their port limiting limitations I have people send emails to me with my phones MMS address, that works just as well for me as the 3rd party email providers.

The EZ way you just do it. The hard way you explain what you have going? Is it a stock carrier ROM or custom? Are all the EPST setting correct? Did you flash it or buy it flashed? Answer those and then I can tell you what you'll need to do to get WAP/MMS working.

Have you validated that you're Authenticated?

Dial ##DEBUG#
Enter password (usually 6 zero's or 6 three's)
Click <Debug Info><HDR>
Scroll to bottom and check <AN/AAA authentication> It should say <1 = Authenticated>

If it's not Authenticated then you have the connection info wrong.. or try a newer PRL.
