I've been using my rooted HTC Evo 4G on Page Plus Cellular (MVNO using the Verizon Wireless network) on their $29.95 per month Talk n Text 1200 plan (1200 minutes, 3000 SMS/MMS, and 100MB of data transfer) successfully for a couple of months now, and I have run into only two significant issues that maybe someone else has been able to solve or work around.
Although SMS works just fine, MMS does not. I've tried using the stock app, the GO SMS Pro app and Handsent SMS app without success. I've tried an ESN reset with Page Plus which didn't appear to help either.
I am also not getting 3G, just 1X. This one is not quite as important to me as the SMS issue is, since there is only 100MB of data available on the $29.95 plan.
I'm wondering if anyone else who is using an EVO 4G on Page Plus Cellular has found a workaround for the MMS and/or 3G issues? If so, could you reply with the fix, as well as the ROM you have flashed on your phone?
Thanks!
Maybe you could take a look at the different tutorials that have been made for Boost to get 3g and mms working.

OK, after flashing a couple of new roms, it appears my issues are either rom or kernel related.
Under MikG v3.0 Re-Engineered GB Sense 2.1 + 3.0 both 3G and MMS were non-functional.
After downgrading to a non-Gingerbread rom, Myn's WarmTwoPointTwo, 3G worked but I still couldn't get MMS operational.
Next, I tried Myn's newest rom Warm TwoPointThree - Release One. MMS appears to work on this one with Go SMS Pro, but I'm back to 1X data Plus the rom itself is still pretty buggy, although I'm sure the design team will work the issues out eventually.
I'm happy with functional MMS (with 1X data) for the moment, but it would be ideal to have both. I suppose it's just a matter of trying different roms until I find one that works 100%. I haven't yet tried flashing a different kernel to see what effect that would have on 3G or MMS, but that would be my next project.

Sure. Page Plus Cellular is a vendor of pre-paid cellular services that uses Verizon's wireless network. It is similar to Virgin Mobile, TRACfone, Net10, Boost Mobile, Straight Talk and MetroPCS.
Page Plus is notable for having an unofficial open device policy. Most Verizon postpaid phones and Alltel phones can be activated (with limitations). Other CDMA phones can be flashed or reprogrammed to their network including devices from Sprint, US Cellular, etc. Page Plus does have some phones that are disallowed from being activated on their system including Blackberries, prepaid Verizon /Alltel phones and the new Verizon/CDMA iPhone.

No 3-way on Pageplus
i'M USING AN evo 4G on PagePlus also.
Have the Pic text working (You cannot use WIFI for Pic Text)
and am getting 3G.
The only thing I am unable to get working is 3-way call.
If your 3way works on PagePlus, what did you do to make it work?
thank you

Hi,
I now have EVO 3D with Pageplus 3G data working LOCKED. Figured it out.
Thanks!
my evo says 3G but i'm getting 1xRTT speeds... does anyone have a fix for this...
Some of the ROMs on the Evo 4g are locked at 3g. Just because you're getting the 3g icon doesn't mean you're actually getting 3g! Example? The stock ROM.
Getting 1xRTT seems to be the norm. 3g is attainable, some are saying but they want to charge me to do it! Good luck!
As for the MMS issue. You need the apn settings. Might need to use GO SMS or something. But it is definitely apn settings. Use apn backup/restore from the market and get someone who has an android on Pageplus to backup their settings and give it to you. You restore it to your phone. Or try the apn settings from a Verizon phone... maybe Pageplus and Verizon use the same apn settings.
Good luck.
actually check this thread out it worked for me!

Though I too couldn't get 3g working cause the internet is so slow... I wonder if they have a tutorial for getting the HA and AAA codes when cloning a phone our getting 3g to work correctly.
If there is one can someone post the link I have looked and no luck
How can i make sure I have ability to connect to AT&T at H+ speeds.
With other phones I have been able to connect with H+.
However with this One X, i cannot.
1. How can i tell if microSIM i am using is 4G (H+) capable
2. How can I tell if my account has been provisioned for H+ service
3. Any particular APN settings needed for H+ connection. I have tried a bunch, and they all only connect to H speeds.
Thanks!
This is not a 4G phone.
4G is completely unneccesary on a Phone and would only drain more battery.
I'm in Sweden and my phone jumps between HSPA and 3G for some reason. HSPA is the "H" as you call it, and will show as H on the phone. And "H" is 3.5G.
If you want to check your apn settings, check out my post on page 3 of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587681
Also, to check your sim, search the sku number that is on it. It is a 5 digit number that should start with 7.

As gurkburk92 said, (unless you've got the actual US version of the One X) you don't have a H+ radio in your phone, therefore, you'll never be able to use 4g.
As for it being unnecessary in a phone... I'd have to disagree...
I've got an EVO 4g and when I'm in a 4g area, songs load WAY faster while streaming music (vs. 3g that occasionally buffers too slowly to listen to a song without skipping) and youtube videos are about the same.
If you're using your phone as a media consumption device, 4G definitely has its merits.

Actually the One X is capable of getting AT&T HSPA+ speeds.
HSPA+ and LTE are two different things. AT&T considers HSPA+ to be 4g, and LTE to be completely different.
As for the ONE X you will be able to use HSPA+. I am getting speeds of up to 10mbps using AT&T HSPA+

You'd have to call and ask. If you aren't on a HSPA+ plan, the CSR can change it for you. The SOC codes (if you get somebody who has no clue) are

HSSMT7 - 2GB
SMTHS2 - 3GB

The 'phone' APN and the 'broadband' APN (used for tethering) are the ones capable of 4G speeds. You won't have broadband unless you subscribe to a tethering package or have it provisioned as a data connect card.
Have any of you guys tried to create the "phone" APN on your One X? When I do so I can't select it (there is no check box to select). I can only pick an APN that is called "wap.cingular". I have my account provisioned correctly for an H+ device (prior device was also H+). I also got a new SIM just for this device and have it correctly recorded with HTC (didn't have a microSIM).
EDIT
Ok I did some more playing and if I type "Phone" for APN it works but if I type "internet", "Internet" or "Internet Only" in the APN Type it is no longer selectable. What is supposed to be written in the APN type box???
EDIT 2
Ok so I've learned from some digging that it's a problem with my account never having been setup for "4G"...Which is odd because I had an AT&T "4G" phone previously (Atrix). So I've never gotten the speeds I've paid for. I love it!

What kind of speeds are you getting? I am curious because I am on a go phone plan and get about 6-10mbps downloads.
Are you getting higher?
The speeds that ATT claims for 4g hspa+ devices are 2 to 6mbps. YMMV depending on network conditions.

Guys,
Unlocked and rooted One X on AT&T and my pegged out signal keeps changing from H to 3G over and over and over.... you get the picture. Never stays on one very long before changing and will disrupt data services for a brief moment while it does.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior and if so, any fix to resolve?

Yea I notice it. I believe it's part of the way it saves power but idk if thats true because on my Galaxy Nexus, it would almost always stay on "H".
Mine doesn't really switch out of "H" though when actually loading something, just takes a bit to go from "3G" to "H". I've maybe experienced it once or twice when actually loading something where it would switch out of "H" to "3G" while loading something on XDA or a website. But it's usually when connection is weak.
I'm having the same issue.
if it keeps happening, then complain to ATT and ask for credit on your data plan because it doesn't work the way it should.
From what I read, AT&T phones show only h, even though in the background they switch back and forth.
But when you use international phones on the network, it will show the switching around. I'm not sure if that's related to your issue, but over here on rogers, my phone switches between 3g and h constantly, even when I'm at one location.. The thing is that I don't get long disruptions though, if any at all.
I'm on att and don't experience this. My icon switches frequently but I don't see any interruption in service.

Thanks all, just wanted to make sure that I was the only one experiencing. I will probably go into the AT&T store and see if their One XL display units is doing the same thing while I have mine with me.
Could be that "international" issue type of thing... who knows.
Yes, mine does this too. Im on straight talk which uses at&t and it frequently keeps switching back and forth.

Moving from 2/3G to HSPA+ is by design and called fast dormancy. Here's more than you could ever possibly want to know about it.
http://www.slideshare.net/zahidtg/gsma-fast-dormancy-best-practices
It saves battery life and when working properly it's undetectable. That is when FD is active on a device and the network it's using supports it. (AT&T does). If OP's dropping signal something's wrong. I'd check...
- The APN's you use on AT&T must match the plan that's provisioned in your account settings. If you're on a 3G plan (grandfathered unlimited, MediaNet, data for non-Smartphones) use the 3G (Cingular) settings. If you're on a 4G (non-LTE) plan use the 4G (HSPA+) APN. Wrong APN means funky data even if it seems fine sometimes.
- Older SIMs or SIMs from iPhone's in non-Apple devices have caused problems. As has bad surgery in the move to micro. Pop in to an AT&T store and get a new micro SIM matched to the provisioning of your account.
- Bad phone h/w. In not the above it could be the device.
I've just been across the country on the AT&T network and my phone has performed better than my i9100 in picking up and maintaining a signal (I'm on a 3G plan). It's been impressive actually especially in moving from HSPA to Wi-Fi and back. So with the right settings the phone itself should be fine.

Just tried that and it's not working for me. Doubled checked, everything is exactly as he said. I just don't have the option to switch from what it currently is (MediaNet). There's no radio button for the other two. Even after deleting the original (only leaving the two I just made) and restarting, I have no connection to the network.

I agree, the settings aren't working for me either in Orange County, CA
After you set up the new APN's try deleting the old one. You can always get it back by selecting "restore to default."

I had an unactivated micro SIM that I had my corporate account rep activate so my situation's different than yours; the SIM is tied exactly to the settings in my account. I popped it in, it picked up the MediaNet settings, and all was good.
My phone has a single APN so I can't see the way the settings look when there are multiples. The last setting in the active APN is "APN enable/disable" which is greyed out on my because there's no other choice. Did you try disabling it after you got the new APN's entered? Maybe if you do it'll allow you to select the new APN's you created.

My "APN enable/disable" is greyed out as well. I tried the new APNs in the other thread and couldn't get a internet connection. The only successful APN with the One X was the medianet. Other than that, I'll settle for the medianet but only wanted to change it to get better speeds in my area since this phone is capable of receiving up to 21mbps.

The highest I've seen on either an international phone or an AT&T 21MB-capable phone is 8MBish down. That's in TX where there's lots of bandwidth shared by not a lot of people. In markets like LAX, NYC, and SFO you're lucky to break 5MB because of the congestion. I've seen 2MB and under in Manhatten. HSPA+ speeds on AT&T are very much YMMV.

Who's your carrier, AT&T? My friend is experiencing the same issue. At least, I think it's the same. I'm on T-Mo and he never gets my MMS.
I tried putting the different APNs in his phone as well. I'm honestly not sure, either.

Mine does this sometimes. Im on sprint
Im pretty sure this is a gnex issue between tmobile and ATT, Switching my sim into a tmobile branded phone and it will send. Seems that all other providers receive my MMS though. I can receive an MMS from a Gnex on ATT to my Gnex on Tmobile. Im thinking its something to do with the user string of the Gnex and tmobile not knowing what it is.

I started having an mms issue on T-Mo recently. Fixed it by resetting the apn settings (the only thing that seemed to change was the ipv6 changed back to ipv4 - i believe you are supposed to have separate apns for data and mms)
Pull up the apn list, hit menu, then reset to default...
No one has any ideas about this ? I'm pretty pissed off now because I called AT&T and they basically said since it non-AT&T your screwed.......
and can we please get an AT&T user to confirm receiving MMS from T-Mo using this phone?
Not using a G.Nexus, using an HTC Sensation with a CM9 variant. Just noticed that I'm only having trouble receiving MMS from TMO friends. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if anyone has a fix
I should probably clarify that I do receive the message if there's text in it, my phone recognizes it as an MMS but there is no picture and the size is 1kb.
It's definitely the IPv6. I switch it on and MMSs won't come or go. I switch back to IPv4 (and reboot..grrrr) and MMSs send/receive fine. I have checked and cannot find anything in the APN settings that's supposed to fix it.
You have to set up two APNs on the T-Mo phone:
Ipv6 for data
Ipv4 for MMS
I'm in the same situation. I'm using GNex on AT&T. My friend has GNex on T-Mobile. I can receive text but no picture messages from him or anyone that has T-Mobile. Let's keep this thread going to find a solution.

I know other people that have AT&T and they have I-phone and get all MMS messages from T-mobile.
Hi, last night i flashed my sprint lg g2 stock/rooted phone to cricket using DFS, called up cricket and had them switch to the new flashed phone, and since i have not been able to get data 3g or even 1x on the phone.
I have flashed several phones and never encountered this problem, but this is my first LG phone, Rest were samsung and HTC
Texting and Calls work Great
It constantly lets me know "Mip 67" "Mip 111" and "Unable to Establish a wireless data connection" .
I have searched everywhere and although i can similar people with the problem, all are on sprint.
I have gone through DFS settings many times, reflashing, and nothing is seeming to work or stick
Any help or guidance would be much appreciated, an andorid phone without any internet might as well be a flip phone
