Sprint SIM working in R850 but not in WE826
I was doing some testing on my Franklin R850 and a Sprint update went through. Now, when I put the SIM back in the WE826 it's not connecting. Did the APN change? I'm still on r.ispsn. can't seem to find the APN in the R850...and then I broke the R850 so I'm completely stuck right now!

I don't know why, but I had to re-run the command to set the modem to MBIM. I don't know why that would be the case as I've not done anything to the config. I had done a graceful stop, pulled power, and put the SIM into the R850 hotspot and it was powered off when I put the SIM back in.

That is strange. Once the modem is set to MBIM, it should retain that composition.nontheist wrote: Fri Aug 17, 2018 4:56 pm I don't know why, but I had to re-run the command to set the modem to MBIM.
Glad you figured it out.

I've managed to completely fix my problem by purchasing what should have been the correct connectors for the R850 to hook up my antenna directly to the R850. The connector ripped the antenna connection port right off the R850 mainboard, so now I don't ever have to play with it again since it's toast!

Apologies for the thread necromancy, but a question for Nontheist.nontheist wrote: Thu Aug 30, 2018 7:50 pm I've managed to completely fix my problem by purchasing what should have been the correct connectors for the R850 to hook up my antenna directly to the R850.

What type of connectors did you end of getting for the R850 antennas?
Re: Sprint SIM working in R850 but not in WE826
Life got in the way of all of my plans. Yes I realize this is a reply to an already old comment, but I literally haven't been back here in a year. I don't know if anyone is still using an R850, but if you are I'd just like to caution you with using these particular whips. When I said I fixed my problem, that was meant to be tongue in cheek. This antenna connector completely broke the connector off the board on the R850. I came to this connector through another thread elsewhere that advised that this is exactly what they used... I never got the R850 to see the antenna so I probably removed and re-attached the plug about 5-10x before it ripped the connector off the board. So, caution is advised.ghostknyght wrote: Thu Jul 11, 2019 9:03 am Apologies for the thread necromancy, but a question for Nontheist.

All that said, it more or less did fit in the hole...
