Yeah but this is for stock sense roms also you can use ##diag# in miui or ##data# either I'm
wanting to do that in a soap rom

Not sure about SOAP ROMs ...
Took me, also, about 7 seconds of searching.
And as for your dial codes, EPST, I haven't heard of any AOSP ROMs doing as such ... though I'm pretty sure I've read that you can do as much on the AOSP ROMs with the Nexus ... but as for a port for MIUI or CM7 ... don't think so. I hold the right to be wrong, though, on that front.

How did you unlcok your EVO to use on another network?

If you're on Metro, I believe that still works. I can't be bothered to actually look. Time to utilize that Google search! As for another carrier ... Its not like he is on a major.

Cyanogen

Can cyanogen be ran on a epic 4g flashed to cricket? If so how can I get my data and mms working on it?

Pretty sure there was a epic 4g cricket forum in general, wouldn't hurt to post this question in there as well

Tried that method. But cant access the ##8778# menu on cyanogen
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
From what I've been able to find that is specific to the samsung dialer, an is removed from cyanogen because it uses a different dialer. I just did a nandroid backup, odined back to ec05 using the instructions in the sticky, did what I wanted, and restored.
Kinda sucks but otherwise cm7 is awesome
you should only have to ##8778# if you need to program using qpst. If that's the case flash a different rom, program with qpst, then flash cyanogen. Your qpst setting dont change after flashing new roms. as far as the mms.apk files i created i believe they would work with cyanogenmod but i cant say for sure. just message me once you get your phone programmed and i will make a cyanogenmod mms.apk for you.

Anyone know how to sending mms

I'm not quite sure when it happen but shortly after flashing the very first ics rom for the HTC evo 4g back on 1/27/11 my birthday some reason my phone wont send a pic message. I can receive them but not sending. I've down The latest prl baseband even tried the stock rom. Can someone explain before I make this phone go into airplane mode for real lol.

Hey,
When I had an MMS Issue it was the rom, but as we can see that isnt the case. Now when you switched to the sense rom did you go into software settings to update the prl? and what rom/kernel etc. are you using currently! I see you are on boost mobile though the issue might just lay there! Hope you get it working
Stevo
Try this alternative method if u dont wanna reflash....go into gallery.....share...select pic....message then send....or reflash and see if that fixes it
I'll give it a try when I'm finish with the lease sighning

Your MMS server is set to sprintpcs you have to change it to myboostmobile.com. And you must make that change ANYTIME you flash a new rom because the phone will default to sprintpcs.

I don't remember where but I remember seeing a fix for it. Search this sub section for it.

The fix was to download Setdns from the market. Then change from google dns server to open dns.

Wifi tether with Jellybean

Im not to lazy to search. I have and havent had good luck.
I have used a couple of different custom roms without luck of having a hacked native wifi tether option. From what I have read 3rd party tether programs dont work with jellybean.
Can anyone point me to a thread that will shed some light on what Im doing wrong?
Im not a noob to android or rooting, flashing, etc just need some general guidance to help me out.

I can't guarantee but check out aokp jb rom. There's may be working but the jb builds are relatively new. Go to www.aokp.co.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2
Well i just came from the s2 and I'm not sure if the problems and fixes are the same but on a custom Rom, have you tried using the native tether and changing user agents or a different browser like Firefox.
Wifi tether for root users beta 3.2 works fine too.
Btw i was tethering last night using native. No problems so far.
I'm on aokp jb
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Wifi tethering wont work on jb touchwiz roms. If you upgraded to the unlimited 4g you lose hotspot with stock jb roms. It may work with aokp or cm roms.
I had the same issue and downgraded back to an ICS rom so the wifi tethering app will work again
Sent from my fingertips
Thanks for the input. I like touchwiz reminds me of htc sense a lot.
I will just stay on ics now instead of taking any leaked updates.
Is there a way to hack the native hotspot on the leaked jb tw roms to bypass the data plan check? I know when I was on sprint that hacking the native tether app was done with several roms.
I don't tether for everyday use at home but it is nice to have when in the car for my wife and kids who have tablets or other internet devices.
I would get a tether plan but I use to much data to do that and would incur extra charges.

[Q] Sprint LS970 APN Settings

I ported my phone to straight talk from sprint and my data is working but the speeds are very slow. Straight talk told me to manually enter APN settings they provided me but it's not where it is supposed to be under the mobile networks settings. LG support told me it should be there and if it's not that Sprint has removed, hidden or disabled it. Does anyone know how to access APN settings on this phone?

I'm not sure because Ive never had to do it on this phone. I know Sprint has removed/hidden/disabled it. Certain 3rd party messaging apps will allow you to change the apn settings but I dont think it's system wide. I'm not by my phone currently so I cant test this right now but we do have a hidden menu. From your phone dial 3845#*970# to access the hidden menu.
If apn settings aren't in there you could always try a different rom. You would have to be rooted and unlocked with a custom recovery but most of them will allow you to change the apn settings. If you go that route, head over to the original development section for our phone and read the root guide by engine95 found there VERY CAREFULLY. Sorry if this isn't much help but like I said, Ive never had to do this because I'm still on Sprint Stock.
I tried some apps but they don't work on android 4+ they say and I've tried some secret menus with no success. Can't remember if I tried that one or not. Ill check real quick. I am rooted but I've been hesitant to switch Rome since stock works so well but I may have to look into it. Can anyone recommend a hassle free rom?

Yeah I was worried it wouldnt be in there. Most roms have some slight issues, I prefer stock myself and have been modifying it manually. Cyanogenmod 10.2 is probably your best bet though. It's based on Android 4.3, CM 11 is 4.4 based and mostly smooth but still not labeled as stable.
EDIT: Just make sure you make a full backup of what you have now in TWRP. I'd use TWRP 2.5.0.0 btw. Backup all partitions so if something goes wrong you can restore it back. And follow the install directions for CM precisely. Good luck!
try thisOffline SIM APN Database Otherwise consider using a custom rom or even a stock variant.
I'm not sure that database will help me since Sprint is cdma, but also I already have the correct apn settings from straight talk. My phone just doesn't doesn't have the option to input them thanks to Sprint. Cell providers really need to stop locking people in at this point. If your services were good and your price was competitive then people would stay with you, without the gimmicks. Sorry to rant I'm just really sick of all the cat and mouse games of unlocking a phone. I think I probably will just use a custom rom since my phone won't have anymore limitations after that, but that is still more work than I wanted to do just to change apn settings. Thanks for the feedback guys!

I have heard of other apps not having much luck with changing apn settings for us. Even tho I dont currently need it, thanks for the heads up!
It didn't change it for me. It said ICS or later prevents it but it did allow me to open the menu which was good enough for me. Still having a problem where after a reboot it keeps creating the sprint apn after I delete it but I figure that's baked into this stock rom somehow. Prob still be switching roms but I will play with it some more. It also keeps trying to reactivate on sprint but I was glad to at least see the menu. If it were not for some clever sprint engineers that app would have worked perfectly.
