It had given me great service and as they change over I hope I can still keep my broadband service. Previously there wasn't a contract and I was able to pay online and it was easy to use.
Mark on April 12, I personally have had no problem with Cricket's broadband service. At that time, their connection was poor and my modem would lose the signal and disconnect. I've never had a problem with the internet speeds when surfing, downloading, or uploading. My only complaint is that I had no clue of this until 3 days before my monthly bill is due which means I have 3 days find a new service provider.

Well, it's a matter of time and patience before things work smoothly. If you find out anything let us know and I'll do the same. I am running Ubuntu 9. So I tried running the flipflop.
Any ideas? After you plug the modem in wait a moment and then click into your "places" on your bar and see if there is a "A" listed there - if there is then click into it to manually trigger the device.
After doing so run sudo. If it is not listed in places please open a terminal and run lsusb while the device is connected. Here is the lsusb when the device is plugged in. Alrighty well it is detecting that the device is connected. It does not appear in my places menu, but I am not sure about nautilus so I will check when I get home aswell as running that command. I ran the code and had the same issue it goes on, but no connection here is the lsusb after the switch: Bus Device ID 1d6b Linux Foundation 1.
Alright well your device is connected and switching properly. I am betting the issue is that the default wait time I have set in the flipflop. I have tried both of those things and neither work. The modem goes on, but it never goes into the network manager. Alrighty I know this may sound kinda redundant but just want to make sure I understand what you are doing. I'm at a loss here. The reset is going through just find - shortly after the reset it should just appear in your network manager.
You are using Jaunty correct? Can you perhaps try installing modeswitch and connecting the device while booted from a LiveCD session so see if perhaps something is corrupted in your network manager applet install? I have tried it in Hardy and in Jaunty. The Jaunty is an Alpha release because it is the only disk I have and I didnt want to use the bandwidth to download the jaunty. You upgraded from Hardy to Jaunty? Hate to say it but this may be the issue - upgrading any OS always leads to issues and I recommend doing a fresh install.
But like I said you can boot a liveCD and confirm that this is indeed your issue. SInce the Jaunty disk I had is an alpha 6 disk I started to download a 9. I'm actually booted off a Live Jaunty disc now and using my Cricket Modem on it to post this - so I know it works.
I believe it will work as long as I get a good burn. The jaunty disk I have now freezes up in the terminal a lot which is what I think the problem is. I will let you know because I really want to ditch my Windows install.
That was easy. I install Ubuntu 9. If you are going to remove Windows you may want to double check and make sure the flipflop works for you in Ubuntu first - cause if you ever disconnect the modem and plug it back in you will need to reflip the device. I wonder if anyone has tried modifying this to get the A to work with it.
Im afraid I don't know a bunch about modifying this stuff. Yes you need to be sure to change into the place where you extracted the zip archive to. By default firefox will download to you desktop and if you also extracted the files there the folder you want will be there. I am completely new to ubuntu and I really want to use my cricket a, When I tried the steps in your post I received error messages for each step I am using the 64 bit 9.
Done Building dependency tree Reading state information Done E: Couldn't find package libusb-dev Notice how it is saying it cannot find the packages? Thats because it looks for them online. Ubuntu 9. On running 'sudo flipflop. No devices in target mode or class found Looking for default devices No default device found. Is it connected?
Thanks, -- Ed. Ed, Your issue is different than the one in the above post. From what I can see the device is recognizing and "flipping" properly. You do not have to set anything up in the network manager, shortly after running the flipflop. Does this option not appear?
I followed your directions and it does work but it stops working whenever it wants. It will disconnect and the network manager will say not active then i will not be able to connect to the broadband or wireless connections until i reboot and do it all over again. This is very frustrating any ideas? Im running ubuntu 9. Everything went as planned Ubuntu recognized my a and i was connected. Then I get disconected and my network manager said not active.
When this happens i cant connect to the broadband or wireless. Any thoughts, Rick. How many bars does your modem display when it randomly disconnects? The only time I have ever had any issues is when my signal strength is low. Nope - no option for "cricKet Broadband" or anything else. Just sits there looking active but not passing traffic I'm pretty good at following complex direction sets, so if there's further debug commands I can issue, let me know Try this, connect the device and then run the flipflop.
I have at least two bars anywhere in my house but it has happened with four when i reset the fun flip flop again it resets and works again. Huh, I am thinking this is an issue with your Network manager Windoze was fine I only used it that one time when i activated but i was online 4 a while without a problem.
Nevermind guys i just fixed it, seems my Fn key kept sticking without me knowing everytime i tried to change directories, thanks for everyone's info and help! Hey guys. I have followed all the steps and I still cant connect.
It will try for about 30 sec to connect then says Network Disconnected. You are now offline. Any help would be appreciated. I followed the how to without results, but through reading through the posts I found one that referenced changing the sleep time to more than default in the flipflop. It was 10 so I doubled it to 20, ran the sudo. Waited, being very patient, and finally Cricket showed up in my network connections.
Clicked on it and was connected without any more problems. Also discovered that when restarting, I have to cd to the extracted files before running sudo. Thanks beastrace Not a problem. Glad to know you got it working at any rate. The problem that I'm having is the the Cricket A USB device does not appear in the network manager as a connection option and still shows up in "Computer - File Browser" mounted as a "2.
So if you all are really better than Windows Microsoft I know how frustrating getting things to work can be, but it's free, unlike Windoze, and I find having to work at it worth it. If you really want to fix it then do as I did and read all the posts in this thread. That's how I found my solution, increasing the sleep time in the flipflop. It took several days to get mine working, but was definitely worth it as it works better in Ubuntu than it ever has in Windoze.
If you are going at it over and over, I did find that after a failed attempt that I need to reboot before trying again or I get nowhere. Keep in mind that this is a new piece of hardware and will undoubtedly be resolved by the community. I know this because my Broadcom wireless on my laptop took me a month or better to get working and was difficult to reinstall on a new installation and now is listed in the Hardware Drivers list and is very easy to get working.
Hang in there, this forum has solved every problem I have come across. It's populated by a great group of people.
If you are going to be like this bugger off - you are not welcome here. Do you think Microsoft spent any time at all getting that Cricket A working on Winblows? No they did not. They have Mac and Windoze drivers on that auto-connect wizard - they have nothing for Nix.
Honestly being free has very little to do I feel with how much time you spend working on the OS. Also yes - try increasing the time in the flipflop. These instructions should work on Fedora just fine.
No reason why they shouldn't Are you running 32bit or 64bit? Did you get mode flip successfully installed? Connect the device and then post the out put from lsusb please. I'm a nub to Linux and Ubuntu and your directions in the first post worked without a hitch. Great work. I called Cricket tech support, and they said they did not have any plans to support Linux.
Guss they do not like the free ware movement. I followed directions hoping that it would work I'm curious.. This is the device.. Unfortunately it will not work under Wine, how ever if you have a Winblows license a temp fix is booting a VM and assigning the device to it, connecting it and then assigning it back to Ubuntu it is a pain but it works In the mean time lets get hacking to make your umc working with modeswitch.
First off post the section of your modem listed when you run lsusb -v in terminal. I have a question about another mobile broadband modem that has a disk mode as well. I have a Franklin CDU which boots in Jaunty in disk mode, I've tried running the connect script, which gives a segmentation fault error. Could these instructions possibly solve this problem? If not, does anyone have a post that they could link to for some help on this, I am having a lot of trouble getting this device to work under ubuntu.
Sorry if I'm kinda rusty, I haven't used Linux in about 3 years, so there's a lot I don't remember. First off, I tried editing the.

This is my girlfriends work so im not to in the loop, sorry-she was trying to help me but ended up doing more of it The other thing we tried was just plugging in the modem and then put our phone number with the cricket address.

Click over to the "permissions" tab, and check the box "allow executing file as a program" Now double click the file and select run - it will ask you for your password.

For Cricket, This is what I did. I installed the Ubuntu 9. Before that I used Linux Mint. Which I liked better. But it had issues I don't have time to discuss. I have Cricket broadband. I love it. My problem was I really did not want to give up my beloved linux to run it in windows.
So, I found this web-page on what to do. I now have my cricket broadband in Ubuntu linux. I did not have to use gnome PPP or any dial progam. Simply edit connections on the network icon. Leave User name is: The phone number mycricket.
The password is: cricket. This is done in the mobile broadband of the network connection at the top right of the desktop tool bar. One way to get to it is to put your mouse on the network icon then right click on Edit connections.
Then click on Mobile Broadband. Click On the add icon choose your provider. You will have to enter your root password at some point. Then click on edit. Enter your info. Note: This is a short recap. You must follow the install instructions before you can finish. I spent 3 weeks up till now trying to get my broadband to work. So when I finally did. It was an experience I have no words to describe. Up till now. I edited the cricket connection on a separate laptop with windows XP.
I then enabled sharing on the windows network icon in Windows. Then I plug-ed an ethernet cable between the two computers so I could have mobile broad band in Linux until today. When I finally got it to work using the instructions above. I would like to encourage the Ubuntu developers to put in support for mobile broad band on there next release.
It really should be a top priory. I almost had to give up my beloved Linux to keep my broadband. Thanks to this web page I can keep Linux. Thanks to the original person or persons whom put this web page up. Glad to hear you got it working - just as a heads up though after running the flipflop. I'm still having to use vista right now Thanks a ton. You're gonna have to tell us what you did; and then we can tell you what to do differently.

Automation script anyone? I'm fairly certain thats what I said to run in my above post - at any rate glad you got it working. I've also updated the first post with a working. It isn't quite perfect. It didn't take effect until I rebooted my machine.
And still won't recognize the modem if it is installed when you boot up. But you just unplug the modem and plug it back in and it installs the Cricket broadband network which you can activate normally.
But it is darn close. The reason it did not work until you rebooted is because it requires are hard reset. And the new network manager detects modems that have already been attached - so after you flip it and the disconnect and reconnect it sees it.
FYI you can just installed modeswitch from the repos and then run the flipflop. This worked perfect on 64bit karmic koala for me. Made it easier to jump from being stuck on Windows only for this service.
I've saved the files to the memory stick I put in the a for future use on my laptop, or other machines I have Ubuntu running on. One note for some, and I think it's already indicated. If you don't see the normal A CD mounted, you'll need to unplug and replug the stick back in before commuting to an installation.
