Using built in tethering without the fees? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my friend was saying he is using the built in tether without the fees from Verizon by doing ##PROGRAM and screwing with the proxy settings so it doesn't go through Verizon's proxy. Is this true or false?

This quite true. All you need to do is go into EPST by dialing ##778 on the phone. Select EDIT MODE. When it asks for the password, enter 000000. Go to SECURITY and change S.IP DUN USER NAME. It should have [email protected]. Change it to [email protected]. Go back to the main menu and select M.IP DEFAULT PROFILE and change DUN NAI the same as you did S.IP DUN USER NAME. Go back to the main menu. Select MENU on the phone and select COMMIT MODIFICATIONS.
That is all there is to it. Now you will be able to use the 3G Mobile Hotspot to share your connection. Enjoy.

Any drawbacks from Doing this?

I personally haven't experienced any.
If you *228 with option 1 it does reset it back to defaults which is to be expected. Just go back into EPST and change them again.

I get an error. Says "radio cannot enter low power mode" when I try to commit the changes.
Any thoughts?

my phone hangs on the commit changes part

Data will not suspend with incoming call

My rooted phone running the Fresh rom. It will not suspend data when a call is incoming. If I am listening to Pandora I get no notice of an incoming call. My wifes unrooted evo will suspend the data and let the call come thru. New to CDMA, am I missing a setting?
Tried Damage Control as well - still will not suspend data with an incoming call
Dial ##DATA# and in view mode check to see if DDTM is enabled.i believe it's under EVDO.

Ok checked it - Says DTTM ENABLE - Not sure if I have to select it to enable it or if it is already enabled. I tried to go to edit mode but it is asking for the password? I never set one up. Is it unique to the phone or a generic passcode?

Well there's your problem lol. (not an insult, Larry the Cable Guy )
It should NOT be enabled, that will make calls go to voicemail if your using data. The MSL is specific to your phone. Call Sprint and tell them your phone locked you out and wants an MSL, if they wanna be an ass and not give it to you just hang up and call back until you get one that will tell you.
Then you can get into edit mode and uncheck it.
BUT! Before you do that, go to Settings -> Call and I think you can disable DDTM there
I see where you get your name . Call settings Enable DTTM was selected. Problem Solved

Mms walkthrough

So a lot of people have noticed that once they upgraded to mango their MMS no longer worked. The following are instructions to get MMS functional again on HTC, LG, and Samsung. I figured out the HTC method and helping others I have found how to do the same thing for LG, and Samsung. I hope this helps others and maybe we stop seeing a new thread everyday on how to fix the MMS settings.
NOTE: Your data plan must be turned on to receive MMS messages. If your plan is turned on and you are still having trouble receiving MMS messages find your device below to get it working again.
Data off = NO MMS / VISUAL VOICEMAIL
Data ON = YES MMS / VISUAL VOICEMAIL
HTC METHOD (This method is for unlocked devices only. I am currently unaware on how to reset the flag on locked devices)
1st: Go To This Post and download the XAP
2nd: Since you are unlocked use whatever program to deploy the app to your phone.
3rd: Once deployed find HTC-ProvXML-Deploy in your app list. Launch it and press the green button. When it is done. Reboot your phone and get a friend to send you an mms. It will now work.
*Side note: Some users have had some success simply downloading the "Connection Setup" app in the HTC apps marketplace. Try this first if you are locked or uncomfortable running a provxml file on your device.
LG METHOD (Works on locked or unlocked as far as I know)
1st: Launch the MFG app (For this you must install the MFG application:
in call menu enter ##634# and press call button. Wait few sec up to 3min during the MFG installation. In the application menu use MFG and enter the password: 277634#*# and press enter)
2nd: Go to the Engineer Menu > Other Setting
3rd: Open the Edit Registry item
- Chose HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE from the 1. drop down
- Enter System\AutoDataConfig for the Input SUB_PATH
- Enter the following four entries for the Input KEY (and chose DWORD instead of String)
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\AutoDataConfig]
"RunADC"=dword:1
"ConfigurationStatus"=dword:0
"Attempt"=dword:0
"MaxAttemptsAllowed"=dword:3
4th: Hit Query to find the current value
5th: Type in the proper value (if needed) for the Input Data field and hit Set
6th: Hit Query one last time to verify and then reboot.
*Side note: Some users have had some success simply downloading the "Network Settings" app in the LG apps marketplace. Try this first if you are uncomfortable messing with the registry.
SAMSUNG (By far the easiest. Works on Locked and Unlocked devices.
1st: Go to marketplace.
2nd: Go to "Samsung Zone" and download "Network Profile". Run it and reboot phone.
*Side note. Some users have noticed that this doesn't work if Network Profile does not have your carrier. If that be the case then you will need to be unlocked and go to This thread, download Samsung Tools, and run the ADC Option.
I hope this helps!
For LG users, jst download Network settings, a free app available at LG apps in marketplace, select your operator and ur done.
No nd to edit in mfg menu.

I will add that info if it works for some people. I know that "Connection Setup" for HTC users is apparently hit or miss as is the "Network Profile" for Samsung users.
I had MMS problems, but I found out it was because my data needed to be on.
Data off = NO MMS / VISUAL VOICEMAIL
Data ON = YES MMS / VISUAL VOICEMAIL
T-Mobile.

Most people already know this but I will add the information. This is mostly for people like myself and countless others where the data plan was turned on, but MMS messages still would not come through after the upgrade to mango.
Unfortunately this doesn't let you send videos via MMS
unfortunately samsung has recently been trimming apps from their spot on the marketplace, one of which was "network profile." so currently on new samsung devices this is no longer possible.
on a side note, i have been able to send and recieve mms video and pictures longer than i have had a smartphone, mms also works as e-mail, i do not know all carriers but for at&t all you have to do is send the email to [phone number]@att.net, if the recieving phone supports it, it will work. and since wp7 supports email you're good to go. The same works for sending from dumbphones, in the to: field instead of a phone number use an email address.

[Q] How to Re-configure 1x data connection

Hi, is there anyway to reconfigure the 1x data connection username and password on the Verizon HTC Incredible?
Are these settings in the NAM somewhere rather than in the OS like in WM?
Thanks!
Edit: Think it's through ##778. I'll try in the morning. It's 0230hrs here.

yep. ##778 to get to the settings. you need to be on a sense based rom with EPST.apk in the system/app folder
Unfortunately no. PST doesn't have any settings for the username and password for you data account.
Where would that be located?
that's true, Nik. There is no setting for UN and PW in PST. Anyone knows where else to look.

What network are you trying to do this for? Why do you only have a 1x and not 3g connection? Just curious.
well the phone has both 1x and EVDO but I'm trying to get the 1x working first.

##778# is the only way / place i know of to put programing. Data info should mostly be in M.IP Default Profile. Your user name in NAI and DUN NAI and the password in HA and AA Shared Secret.
I checked but the MIP parameters are if the cdma network is configured with data roaming. We use no roaming - Simple IP (SIP) instead of Mobile IP (MIP). Most parameters under MIP settings are for just that, MIP.
found this on the web. seems legit but still didn't work for me. some setting is still not right.
Step 1: Reprogramming your phone
from your phone, dial ##pst (##778) - Press Call
click "edit mode"
enter security code 000000
scroll down to M.IP Settings
change MIP Mode to Simple IP only
hit back
scroll down to Security
change the "HDR AN AUTH User Id (LONG) to "proper TATA username"
change the "HDR AN AUTH Password (LONG) to "proper TATA password"
change the "PPP User Id to "proper TATA username"
change the "PPP Password to "proper TATA password"
change the "S.IP DUN Username to "proper TATA password"
hit back
press menu, choose "Commit Modifications."
The phone will power cycle.

The issue may be the passwords. They are ment to be encrypted i believe, at least they are in my settings. Here is an example of what my password field looks like ( í…*É1‚¤].VDW.ö¾ ), i have no clue how you would go about encrypting them, and most of the characters are not on the phones keyboard to type it in if you could encrypt it. I suppose you could use qpst on a pc to be able to enter the characters, but still no clue how to encrypt it.
Also S.IP DUN Username should be your tata user name not password as you stated above. My user name fields looks like this ( [email protected] ), and the dun one is ( [email protected] ). Hope that helps some how, just throwing stuff out there.
ok, confirming. It's working now. I just had to configure the PPP UN and PW to get the 1x working.
Hi again, now that the 1x is working fine does anyone know any specific configs to make the EVDO work?

[Q] How do I change my APN settings?

I know the Sprint Note II doesn't allow you to change the APN settings, but I can't figure out a way to do it all; even with the phone rooted. Has anyone managed to do this? I can upload new APN settings using APN back up and restore, but I can't select them as my APN. Thank you!
I see in the ##DATA# menu, click Edit, type your MSL, Others > LTE APN Settings. This has the eHRPD, LTE, and Global Roaming APNs. you cant edit those, but you can delete them. That might be where you can select your own if they show up?

Selling my phone. Did full wipe, etc, but how to get rid of MIN, username, etc..

Im selling my Sprint GS3 as rooted, and I wiped everything so the rom is freshly installed, but under about device / status / it still shows the Sprint username associated with the account and my phone number and MIN. Is there any way to delete those blocks before selling the phone to a new buyer? I know that goes away once they activate it on their own, but I'd like to get rid of that data so they can't see it period.
**Try at your own risk**
Do you know your phone's MSL#?
If yes, then this is how I have always done it with my previous Samsung phones.
To delete your Sprint username, go to "Phone" and dial ##DATA# (##3282#)
"Data programming" screen should show up. Tap "Edit" and it should ask for your phone's MSL#. I'm currently using the MOAR Rom so for some reason it bypasses the MSL screen. Then tap "Data Profile" where you will be able to delete or edit your "Username"
For editing or deleting your MDN/MIN, go to "Phone" and dial ##MSL#. If your MSL is 123456 dial ##123456#
"MSL NAM info" should show up then tap "Edit" to edit or delete your numbers. I usually just put all zeros. Phone may restart after doing this.
Hope that works for you.
