So when you activate a new phone you have to do all the *228 stuff to register it on verizons network. Since the phone gets programmed OTA you have to be using a Verizon network. Thats where my first problem happened. Since I'm in Alaska and there are no Verizon towers (just partners) everywhere is roaming and you cannot do the OTA update/activation.
I got the phone programmed by changing the NAM settings by "calling" ##778 but only voice and sms work right now.
Now the only problem is that I don't know exactly what I need to change to get the data communications working. I know in order to use data communication on a partner network (while in roaming) you have to first use some kind of data transfer on a verizon network. I can only guess that is so the phone gets programmed properly.
If anyone would care to share their knowledge or share their Modem Settings and M.IP profile information hopefully I can get this thing working 100% again; and by not using verizon's "only" method (as the customer service says)
Call back VZW and tell them that you need to do a manual program - I used to work there and they should walk you through all of the steps/entry over the phone.
For what it's worth - Here are my settings

I appreciate the insight espmetalhead, however when I called vzw and asked them about manually programming it they said the only thing they can manually program is voice/sms. To program the phone for data you HAVE to be in a verizon network no matter what. I don't really understand why. I have another phone (blackberry 8330) that has working data communication here in alaska. WHy can't you just take whatever settings the blackberry has for data and use it on the incredible? lol. man, its so frustrating. I really don't want to ship my phone to my parents and walk them through programming the incredible for me haha.
espmetalhead: hopefully in your experience you've came across a way to manually program a phone for data communication...
There is a way to do it from what I remember, you just have to get to a data tech this is high enough in the chain so they can do a walk through. A csr over the phone should be able to route you to the right person. I know I did some Windows Mobile device manual programs that fired up data.

Unfortunately, you have to be in the Vz network to program for data. They use an authentication key that can only be transmitted OTA through their own network for data services. It's a CDMA thing, so there's really no way around it.
so why isn't it possible to just read the key to me over the phone or something?
Idk, it just doesn't seem right. It seems like that has to be a way to do it manually...
Maybe I'm just in denial because I really don't want to send it back to the lower 48
Manually Programming for Data
Does anyone know how to program the Incredible to get data? For some reason after updating to 2.3.4 it just quick making calls and getting onto mobile networks. I solved the making calls issue by manually programming it through ##778. But now I'm without data, so does anyone have any ideas on how to get this accomplished? Any help would be great! Thanks!

hi this is Waseem from Pakistan i am facing much problems in activating my HTC droid incredible 2.
i have tried alot to update my phone but it's not working and the activation dialer is also work-less. please guide me through the whole procedure, what should i do next to activate my phone. i already have restored the factory setting twice but still not updating... i wil be very thankful to you for this act of kindness.
Ruud Westerhout said:
As a matter of interest :
1) Should I be disconnected from the net when I do this ?
2) Should I be taking the GSM-Card out of the phone when doing this
3) If I do a hard-reset now, and being asked x-cancel 0-hard-reset, what would be the result ?
4) Are there any other reasons for the device not being recognized, or not for soo long ?
PS. I am using the internet through a router/firewall and I am not using the XP-firewall.

Hi guys I have a problem.
My old evo broke because loose USB port, I took it to sprint and they replaced my 002 version evo with a 3.70 004ver white evo
The problem is on my 002 evo my 3g speed test was 90% of the time above 1000kbps but now on my new 004 evo my kbps down is always 100-180kbps i duuno if its the phone or sprints service what do you guys think

I'm having the same exact problem here too. I broke my 002 hardware screen and got a new one with 003 hardware. I used to get approx. 1mb/s every single speed test on my old evo and now I only get 120 to 140 kb/s on 3g, same rom same kernel. 4g is awesome but the battery drain is ridiculous and is just not practical. Any solution? What could be the problem?
ive had the same problem forever. have yet to see a solution

That would seem like a good idea but I had updated the pri,wimax, and radio to the most latest out...wouldn't that make it better if anything? Our would a older radio work better. I think my old phone had the older baseband. Any other ideas? 3g is killing me...slowly, lol.

Different radios will cause different results for everyone. I updated a radio on my Hero back when I was still using it and I couldn't get more than a single bar on the phone and never had 3G. I ended up getting better signal with a radio that was like 6 months old. Hope that helps.
I've done this I'm not sure if its the phone or if Its the network. I've tried prl 1.9, 1.77, and 1.40 same with all the different prl's

3g now
In order to make changes such as these (There may be more or better ones listed for the Epic 4g but these ones are for the EVO 4g) follow these guides:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733773
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726877
First you will need your MSL. You can either go through the hassle of contacting Sprint and trying to get them to give it to you, or download a terminal emulator program from the market at follow these instructions:
Once in your preferred terminal program (connecbot, terminal emulator, etc.) type the following EXACTLY:
getprop ril.MSL
It should display your MSL.
From there you can do the 4G and 3G tweaks.
Turn 4g on, go to the dialer, enter ##3282# click view then click Wimax. Enter your MSL, scroll down and choose extensions from there. This is where you will change certain settings mentioned in the threads above. To change the following edits to suggestions below, just long press the option you want to edit and click write extension.
1. Scroll down the list and click on "WiMAX_Scan_Retry(s)"
2. Enter the number 15 and click "OK" (This equals 15 seconds instead of 120 seconds, stock is )
3. Scroll down the list and click on "WiMAX_Entry_Delay(s)"
4. Enter the number 0 and click "OK" (This equals 0 seconds instead of the stock of 300 seconds)
5. WiMAX_Entry_RX(RSSI)(dBm) - Default is -89. This is the minimum signal it has to be picking up to connect. I'm not sure what the best value here is, but the lower the number, the quicker the connect, since it will connect to a weaker signal. You'll have to experiment some with this, I recommend trying about -95 to -100 first. If it's unstable, raise the value closer to -89.
6. WiMAX_Exit_CINR(dB) - Default is 2. See the entry CINR value for an explanation of it. If the signal degrades to a CINR of 2, it will drop the connection. Change this to 1. This should let you stay connected longer. If you run into problems with staying connected but having an unreliable connection, change it back to 2.
7. WiMAX_Exit_Delay(s) - The default is 2. Since it's measured in seconds, that means if the CINR drops to 2 or below for 2 seconds, it will drop the connection. Raise it to 5. That should be enough to cover just a random drop in signal that will pick back up right away. That way you don't drop connection if you drive under a bridge or something (I'm rocking mine at 15s here, but it'll take any value up to 600 seconds, which is 10 minutes!)
8. EntryCINR, change from 0006 to 0004.

I called *2 and first thing I asked was for this and she gladly gave it to me, as always it is hit and miss. If they don't do it, hang up try again. There are other ways but I think they all pretty much require root, I could be wrong though.
to the OP.. i dont have the phone yet but im wondering about the wimax settings myself.
first thing to try.. ##DATA# but instead of going to edit.. go to view. see if theres a wimax setting in there. it does NOT show up when u pick "edit". if there IS a wimax option under ##DATA# > view.. then it will most likely require your MSL.
another place to try is ##DEBUG# which will require MSL as well. there might be wimax settings somewhere in there.
one last thing i'd like you to try is to install AnyCut from the android market(free). open it and choose to add shortcut or whatever(forget the exact option) and it will give you a list of all the system apks/menus on your phone.. scroll down and see if there are any wimax options. if there are.. could you please list them? could you also make shortcuts for each wimax option you do see and run them to see if you find anything interesting.
please report back with details. you're my eyes on this for now

You are 100% correct. The wimax settings are in " view" and not "edit". This is the same way it was for epic1, now to get my msl? Does connectbot require root?

Alright, with you last paragraph I think I may have found it. Here is what was listed and here is how to do it (you have to have 4g on in order to make changes however):
WiMax CT
WiMax DM
WiMax Mode Change
WiMax_CFG
WiMax_CFG
WiMax_NETEST
WiMax_RC
WiMaxLineTest
In order to make changes such as these (There may be more or better ones listed for the Epic 4g but these ones are for the EVO 4g) follow these guides:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733773
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726877
Download Any Cut from the market, open it and choose New Shortcut, then choose Activity. Scroll down to WiMax_CFG (the first one, there after two listed) and it will create a shortcut on your home screen. Open that and select Extensions and make the changes from the threads above in that menu (just long press what you want to change and click save, it will automatically change it). You might have to reboot your phone in order for them to actually take but I'm still not sure if this all works.
It also looks as though you may be able to adjust frequencies. I'm tempted to test them. In wimax_cfg the first one under MRU you'll see 4 sts of frequencies and you can edit then it seems.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP4xR_rmPrU&list=UUxqzz5EkFT8YZpnC9UZR6-A&feature=plcp
2.In QSPT Service Programming under M.I.P tab set the Mobile IP behavior to 'Simple IP' This will allow your phone to connect to 3G when available or 1X when not in a 3G service area.
If there is 3G signal in your area after completing these 2 simple steps you should now have 3G.
If your still having trouble getting 3G and your sure theirs 3G in your area theres still hope, Try forcing 3G by setting your EVO into HDR Mode.

Hope this helps you guys!
Steps to manualy setting your EVO into HDR Mode:
*Warning: Manually forcing your phone into HDR Mode or Digital Mode my cause issues like your PRL going into 0000 IF your phone has been MEID repaired. You know who you are so do not attempt this if your HTC EVO was MEID repaired. Only try this if your are sure your HTC EVO was not MEID repaired.
Dial ##3424# (Sets your phone in Diag mode).
Connect your EVO to PC thourgh USB.
Open QPST.
Start Clients>Service Programming.
Read from phone.
Go to System tab.
Set your Preffered Mode to: HDR only
Write to Phone.
Reboot your phone and your HTC EVO should now be forced to connect to 3G!
The reason why I ask you guys to do this by QPST rather than by Advanced Settings is because most of the times you change it on Advanced Settings but it really doesn't change anything.
Although you guys can check to see if your connected to Evdo using Advanced Settings App. Open the app and go into Phone Information, take a look at your Network Type it should now say CDMA- EvDo rev. A!

Hey Guys,
I wanted to make a general thread where MetroPCS users with flashed HTC EVO phones could post their location, 3G speeds, and settings like prl and rom that best worked for them. MetroPCS has recently been updating some of their towers to work with 3G.
This thread is only for users to come and post and compare there speeds so please take your legal issues or drama somewhere else, Thanks.
It should be something like this:

Cool, Thanks for posting, Not as quick as it should be.. I guess you have bad reception.. And strange that your speed test app isn't working.
I'm gonna start adding confirmed MetroPCS 3G locations by members in the main post.
Not sure what it is. Speed test app drops my connection to 1x but when browsing the internet or using wifi tether 3g stays. I was also expecting higher rates but guess it was my location. Still better than my previous peek of 25kbps

Been following this for a while now...
I've been following Bloody's thread for a while and I've seen pretty much all the posts in relation to Metro 3G.
I was wondering if you could either post a quick guide on how to flash the new PRL here, or just PM me a quick guide. I'd really appreciate it.
I've tried flashing the PRL using CDMA workshop, and also by downloading the new EPST.apk, and using dialer codes, but to no avail. I'll gladly post up my speeds once I can get it working. Thanks a lot!

If MetroDroid is AOSP, your best bet would be to do a nandroid, wipe, flash to any sense rom, run epst, dial ##775# and update PRL. Once you are done, roll back to MetroDroid.

Just updated my prl..i am also in Stockton...no 3g for me...I have a flashed htc evo (Metro PCS)...
Update: I got it working!
I did extensive search on this. Here is what worked for my flashed, rooted, HTC Evo, Sense, gingerbread....my speeds were at about 96kbps to 129kbps....after prl update 600kbps to 2mbps....
First, the dial key did not work when I dial ##775#- which translates to ##PRL#...someone said on different posts that either an HTC or Sprint update removed this function... so you have to install EPST.apk onto your phone to make it work...I included it. That is only if yours does not work. You also have to know your MSL number to unlock your phone...try all six 000000, if you don't know it, first. There is an app on the Marketplace, search MSL reader- hopefully that can tell you your number. Place the 3022 prl file onto your sd card...i included the 3022 prl. After installing EPST, dial ##775# and it will ask you to enter your password, then tab update prl...then the EPST should load up...it is buggy, you will see it takes a couple of seconds to load up...and if it asks you to foreclose or wait...make sure you press wait...then it will load up. Then it will ask you to find prl, if it's in your sd card, you will see the prl file on the bottom, tab on the right circle input then ok. Then it will take you to update PRL and you can see that the file 3022 is ready...then hit menu and click on the plus to commit modification...wait it is making changes..then the EPST will tell you to reset by pressing ok...you should see a pop up saying commit successfully...if it doesn't reset after 10 seconds...then you reset it manually...that is it...should work....

Have 3g working in Atlanta area with 3024 prl...seems to browse web ok but speedtest won't run as someone else mentioned. Coverage seems poor...I live close to the city and keeps switching back to 1x at my apartment. Stays connected to 3g at my work in Norcross.
Has anyone got this phone (stock or otherwise) working on Straight Talk? I have activated my BYOP AT&T sim, I have 4g, speed test app shows its beating out my Verizon 3g, so that seems about right for HSPA+.
Here's the issue I can't send MMS's (It goes to Sending then to Queued for sending then many minutes later will timeout), and if I send a MMS to this phone, I get a SMS with a link to viewmymessage.com which consistently gives me a "504 Gateway Time-out - The web server is not responding" when trying to view it on the phones browser. It loads fine from any other device or pc. (Side question: Is that really how MMS is implemented on ST?). I've tried almost every APN setting I could find on Google and ST customer service was painfully unhelpful finally telling me to "Talk to Sony".
Besides the speed test and a few web pages, the 4g seems really slow and laggy, I get the feeling its having trouble resolving addresses. Google Play updates will sit for a good 45 seconds before the 0KB/xxKB comes up, and then after that it will chug along at what I imagine 1x speed is like. Acting on this DNS/resolving theory, I installed Opera and put in a proxy, I was then able to load up the viewmymessage site without problems... Any ideas?
Sorry, I can't help much but I've been using straight talk for 2 months now with no problems. Data is fine and I have been able to send and receive mms. I used the apn settings that came in the book with the SIM Card.

As of right now my sister only makes me pay $50 for the data on her VZ family plan, grandfathered in with unlimited data (w/ good LTE coverage), so $55 is going in the wrong direction.
Anyway, my settings are exactly like yours pictured and still the same. Its either got to be ST's servers or a bad SIM. While browsing XDA I found out my Bionic can do GSM so I popped in my ST SIM and same deal, only difference was I had EDGE for data. I didn't check if that pic site worked, I'll save that for tomorrow, along with figuring out how to get my bionic back on CDMA :laugh:
I just bought an xperia ion as well and had MMS working for the first day with the settings in the book.
Since that point I constantly get a "Queued for sending" and then an error when trying to send. When I am receiving messages I get "Message not downloaded"
I feel like I have search and tested for hours various MMS settings for stratightalk including the 66.209.11.33, mms2.tracfone.com, and proxy.mvno.tracfone.com all on port 80 with http://mmsc.cingular.com as the MMSC number MCC 310 and MNC 410.
If anyone with an ion could help it would be appreciated. Again it was working for one day so I am not sure what went wrong.
My phone apparently ended up being provisioned wrong, most reps told me my phone was broke and to contact Sony, but I finally got a ST rep that went through their system and found whatever error was on their side that prevented me from sending. I got the "Message not downloaded" error a few times too, but he said it was likely due to poor service, I don't know how much I believed that, but I did get most pictures to come through. I ended up returning the phone soon after so I can't attest to how it turned out long term (I felt like the data connection was very high in latency and the signal strength fluctuated too much). Hope that helps.

I just reset the APN settings to default, added a new apn with your settings and it is still queuing the messages. Really strange. I have never had a problem with the MMS settings on any of my other smartphones on straight talk. Interesting. I am not sure what to try next. Calling straighttalk customer service tends to not resolve anything. lol
Thanks for your support!
---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------
Connected to wifi and now pictures are sending again no sweat. Afraid to disconnect to see if they fail again. lol
Having issues with my Ion too. No matter what settings I use. Submitted a support ticket off their facebook page. We shall see... Never had MMS issue on any other Android with ST
Got MMS working GREAT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931586
Ok people... After searching and searching and searching some more... I now have EVERYTHING working on the Ion with Straight Talk. The current ROM I am using is MIUI, however, this should be the same clean across the board...
If I do not mention a specific setting here for the APN, then assume nothing, and leave it blank. Seriously. These settings for the most part are close to what everyone else is saying, but I was still getting a proxy conflict, causing Data/Web to drop out periodically. Until now. Now EVERYTHING works flawlessly...Data/Web/Calls/MMS, ETC.
So, here we go... We will be making 2 APN's CaSe sensiTivE.
APN 1
Name = Straight Talk
APN = att.mvno
Proxy = proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
Port = 80
MMS Port = 80
MCC = 310
MNC = 410
APN Type = default,supl
If you have the option for APN protocol, set it to IPv4
NOTE: Yes, there are two port listings in this APN, that is not a mistake
APN 2
Name = MMS
APN = att.mvno
MMSC = http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Port = 80
MCC = 310
MNC = 410
APN type = mms
Again...If you have the option for APN protocol, set it to IPv4
Now select the first APN as your primary, and you are good to go. (If this was done correctly, you should not be able to select the MMS APN at all)
Please remember what I said...If you do not see it listed for a setting, DO NOT change it.
If I use this ATT compatible micro sim card, does it matter if the phone is locked or unlocked ?
(will it work properly on Straight talk is it's locked)
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Straight-Talk-Post-Paid-Micro-SIM-AT-T-Bring-Your-Own-Phone-Card/21550826
Can I watch a couple of Netflix movies every day, or will they terminate my service ? ( I know this question has been asked before, but I always get different answers, even from Straight talk customer support)
Please keep in mind that my reply is based on my own experience with the company so far...
If you abuse the data, they "could" throttle you or terminate it until your next "refill" ... However, I have not had that issue. I have far exceded 3GB data this month, and no throttling of any kind. NO text or calls from them either.
My phone is rooted, but NOT Sim unlocked, nor bootloader unlcoked. And it works just fine.
You WILL lose LTE, but honestly, for what I was paying -vs- what I'm paying now... I feel it was a fair trade

So the straight talk AT&T micro sim will activate this phone regardless if it's locked or unlocked ?
Does unlocking the Ion enable lte or is it just a given that straight talk doesn't provide lte access ?

Yes, you can use the ATT microsim from StraightTalk without unlocking the phone. And StraightTalk just doesn't offer LTE...Yet... We will see what the future holds

Ok people... After searching and searching and searching some more... I now have EVERYTHING working on the Ion with Straight Talk. The current ROM I am using is MIUI, however, this should be the same clean across the board...
If I do not mention a specific setting here for the APN, then assume nothing, and leave it blank. Seriously. These settings for the most part are close to what everyone else is saying, but I was still getting a proxy conflict, causing Data/Web to drop out periodically. Until now. Now EVERYTHING works flawlessly...Data/Web/Calls/MMS, ETC.
So, here we go... We will be making 2 APN's CaSe sensiTivE.
APN 1
Name = Straight Talk
APN = att.mvno
Proxy = proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
Port = 80
MMS Port = 80
MCC = 310
MNC = 410
APN Type = default,supl
If you have the option for APN protocol, set it to IPv4
NOTE: Yes, there are two port listings in this APN, that is not a mistake
APN 2
Name = MMS
APN = att.mvno
MMSC = **************
MMS Port = 80
MCC = 310
MNC = 410
APN type = mms
Again...If you have the option for APN protocol, set it to IPv4
Now select the first APN as your primary, and you are good to go. (If this was done correctly, you should not be able to select the MMS APN at all)
Please remember what I said...If you do not see it listed for a setting, DO NOT change it.

Those settings worked for my Locked ION with 4.04 and straight talk.
