[SOLVED] HowTo set up EVDO card or usb enabled phone(CDMA)

[who_cares]

I messed with my config file and got it to work by adding Init3.
Here's a copy for anyone with the same problem:

[Dialer pulse]
Dial Command = ATDP

[Dialer shh]
Init3 = ATM0

[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","WAP.CINGULAR"
Phone = *99#
Modem Type = USB Modem
Stupid Mode = on
Auto DNS = 1
Baud = 115200
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Init = ATZ
ISDN = 0
Username = WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password = CINGULAR1
Carrier Check = no
Auto Reconnect = on

I got my information from this:

As well as some reading up on the patching done to the airprime driver from other sources which I've managed to lose...

I had tried that fix too, I don't think it works with Cingular/AT&T

Can this be done with a CDMA2000 1900MHZ PDA phone like the Hitachi G1000? Thanks.

This can definitely be done with any CDMA phone supporting evdo or other modem connections as long as the kernel recognizes the device and of course if there is a way to connect it to the PC you should be ok .
The 1900MHZ is just the frequency on which your phone and carrier communicate and has no effect on its ability to connect
One of the simplest ways is to connect the phone to usb or for that matter any connection of your choice and run " dmesg " command which will tell you what is happening when you connect it as well which connection is being assign to your device .
Additionally you can run " lshw " which will display all your hardware and it's kernel corresponding information.
If you happen to get your device up and running post back your findings .

Hello guys, I have a sprint razor v3m and the kernel finds the phone but when I do the dmesg i get the following

Is there any updates for this how-to. My phone has the evdo modem in the phone. I am trying to get this working on a Toshiba sat. with fiesty

[Mach1US]

Your dmesg shows that your phone is not being recognized by kernel .
This is mine dmesg output when the phone is connected, i used same phone with only difference that this one is from verizon.

[ 4950.728000] ohci_hcd 0000:04:00.1: remove, state 0

Make sure that your cable isn't damaged or has crossed pin out ideally try other cables to make sure it's not a phisical connection problem .
In the future try to provide as much details as you can as this may shed a clue on what is wrong,
You should pay attention to ttyACM0 portion , this will tell you which connectuion idientifier has been assign to your device.

It cannot be the cable as it works in windows just fine. I have tried it on another laptop and it gives the same output as posted above. I took my friends Razor verizon evdo phone and the OS gives out the correct output ( with the ttyAMO). Could it be that sprint has something disabled on the phone?

My phone is the sprint Razor V3m (Red Phone). I cant think of any other detail that you might need
