Wow double posting...

Well I need help. Ive had this problem for WEEKS now. I need MMS. dunno if its the settings or the cab or wat. anyone with the combo help.

Just so you know, this does not belong in the ROM development thread so don't be upset if a moderator moves it.
Have you tried changing your MMS settings? Does data work on the phone? If you are using the stock SMS program, you should have no problems getting MMS to work just fine. First you will need to set up your Data connection:
1 - Tap Start > Settings > Connections > Connections
2 - Tap the Advanced tab > Select Networks.
3 - Under "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet...", click New...
4 - Under the General tab, type "T-Mobile Data"
5 - Under the Modem tab, tap New... and type "Data" for the name of the connection and select "Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)" from the drop down box. Then tap Next.
6 - Enter "epc.tmobile.com" for the Access Point Name (APN) and tap Next.
7 - Leave the username and password fields blank. Tap Finish.
8 - Under the Proxy Settings, check to select "This network connects to the Internet" and also check "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet"
9 - For the proxy server, type 216.155.165.50 and then tap Advanced.
10 - Tap HTTP and change the port to 8080. Tap OK.
11 - Tap WAP and type 216.155.165.50 and enter 8080 for the port. Tap OK.
12 - Tap OK until you return to the Today screen.

Once you do this, you will need to set up your MMS:
1 - Tap Start > Settings > Connections > Connections
2 - Tap the Advanced Tab > Select Networks
3 - Under "Programs that automatically connect to a private network...", select "T-Mobile Data", which is the SAME connection you are using for your data.
4 - Tap OK until you return to the today screen.
5 - Go to your messaging and tap Menu > MMS Configuration.
6 - Tap the Servers tab > New.
7 - Enter MMS in the server name field.
8 - Enter 216.155.165.50 in the gateway field and 8080 in the port field.
9 - Enter http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms in the Server address field.
10 - Select "T-Mobile Data" from the drop down list and select WAP 2.0. Tap OK to save your settings.
11 - Scroll to MMS and tap Set As Default. Tap OK to save your settings.

After a soft reset, this should get your MMS working. Send an MMS to yourself to test if everything is working.

First I would like to ask you what phone do u have and for what company is that phone phone. I can tell from your Tmobile sign that you have tmobile. Also what rom do u have. Im using Mighty rom right now. Also I have Arcsoft For Tmobile cab(lastest one) installed on the phone. Do I need it or no.

Forget it. It worked!!!!!!!! OMG THANKKKKK U. YOUR THE BESSSSSSSSSSSSSSST. U know how long im looking for my MMS to work. I tried tons of things. THANK GOODNESS. someone finally helped me fix this. good work freakingwilly

I'm surprised noone noticed he said a Sprint TP2 (CDMA) on T-Mobile service (GSM). This is simply a prank thread, a CDMA phone will not work at all with a GSM carrier.

2 radios.

Well, that's a first for me. So the Sprint TP2 still has all the GSM equipment inside AND a sim card slot? Kinda nifty. Apologies to the OP then.

I also came across that bit about the Sprint TP2 having GSM/UMTS and CDMA/EVDO radios. That interests be a great deal, because I'm pretty sure that ATT runs on 850MHz for GSM and 1900MHz for HSDPA. I also believe I noticed those frequencies were supported by the Sprint TP2's (Gobi?) radios, but require 2 separate Oli unlockers to use on a stateside GSM carrier, and hopefully be able to utilize Verision's 3G network in places where ATT's does not exist. Verizon has EVDO Rev A in the vast majority of backcountry places where I like to kick it sometimes in the contiguous 48. When I first read about "Gobi" a year or two ago, I thought that it was pretty frickin' nifty.
So far through my asking, somebody said it wouldn't work on gsm/edge or umts/..., and another said that only 2G would work. I like having my about-to-be HSPA+ in a 30 mile circle around my house and other sufficiently populated areas, and I got Cingular back in 2003 so they're pretty chill about when I pay my bill and sometimes I manage bill-eliminating account credits when they screw up my account/orders and crap. It's crept up from $60 a month when I first got my wizard with unlimited data/sms/mms to $103 and change. The idea of being able to have my original Cingular SIM card in a CDMA phone and get all of my HSPA 7.2 goodness when it's around/better battery life when not using data and operating on GSM, and use EVDO Rev A when I need something faster than EDGE for tethering. Best I've gotten on EDGE is 15 kB/s.
If the CDMA TP2's can be that kind of awesome thing described above, I might work more to maintain a simultaneous account with Verizon postpaid when I go on road trips with some no contract goodness, and temporarily disconnect my no contract ATT postpaid when I do. That would be seriously awesome. If it can't be done on a flavor of the Rhodium, does anybody think that the next version of the real sliding qwerty with a tilting screen HTC device will be able to operate on all of ATT's frequencies, as well as Verizon's? I saw something about the Mondrian, but it doesn't have a keyboard and is therefore disqualified.
Also, not really excited about WM7 or Android because I don't see any Android sat nav apps that use an enormous map image on one's microSD card instead of being reliant on a data connection for maps, and WM7 is supa'shaky for local maps sat nav since it's not even out yet, and both TomTom and Garmin no longer manufacture their WinMo products, which is retarded since the garmin boxes run on CE and it's $100 of almost pure profit, even with an enormous piracy rate. If Android gets a ballistics calculator, herb strain guide, and local map sat nav with preferably NAVTEQ maps I might just jump ship if I can keep it from communicating with Google. I don't want Google knowing knowing any more about me than they already do. I've had Gmail for a long time, and the ads aren't quite creepy but they're ubertargeted.

9 - For the proxy server, type 216.165.155.50 and then tap Advanced.
10 - Tap HTTP and change the port to 8080. Tap OK.
11 - Tap WAP and type 216.165.155.50 and enter 8080 for the port. Tap OK.
8 - Enter 216.155.165.50 in the gateway field and 8080 in the port field.
9 - Enter http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms in the Server address field.
Why in one part do you have 216.165.155 and the next 216.155.165?
Is that a typo? If so which is correct?
Thanks

Whoops! I knew I should have read my post twice. Stupid lysdexia =D
The correct IP for T-Mobile is 216.155.165.50. Sorry for the confusion, kudos for spotting the mistake ;-) I've updated the original comment with the corrections.

Hypocracy much?
I know you tried to contribute to the answer, but you lack the necessary details that would be required. My original post may have been long, but the first thing that the OP said was that they got it working and left thanks. Continuing to reply to the thread (especially with these kinds of comments) are unnecessary and only bump up old threads.
Just like mom always said "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
Request to close please.

worked!
Worked! on a US Cellular phone running mightyrom on the t-mob network (obivously) Cheers!!

[Q] Evo on MetroPCS- says ROAMING?

I'm trying to finish getting an evo to metropcs for a friend. I did everything you need to do to get to the point of "activation". I put a newer Metro prl on the phone that works here in the ny area... but when i try to activate it or even call I get redirected to a verizon operator. The signal bar says I'm roaming and where it should say "MetroPCS" on the lockscreen its says"Analog B". Will an evo on metro pcs even work in the NY area? If not I just wasted a huge amount of time

Did you get the esn registered to metropcs? must I add must be considered coorperate store

go to settings>wireless settings>mobile networks>system select> change it to home only then also....make sure you still have the MetroPCS prl installed...dial *228 and make sure it says "hello hello hello metropcs" and if it does u might as well update the roaming list...say update roaming list after it says it

I didnt get my esn registered with metropcs because I assumed it was already registered.. Should I go ahead and try to do that, and if I do do you think they will they even allow me to?

If I'm correct the instructions you've provided will only allow me to connect to the towers that my PRL tells me too. Which makes sense since having it set to "automatic" will allow to roam and connect to a verizon tower, due to a roaming agreement between metro and verizon. Thanks for that hint. So I just did as instructed and It says I have no service (the little "x" by the bars.) oh I also followed these steps to re-start a hands free activation:
Steps:
1. Dial ##3282#
2. Enter Edit Mode
3. Enter your MSL
4. Select Data Profile
5. Menu
6. Restore
7. Let Phone Reboot, and Wait and the Hands Free Activation will Start.
and of course It didn't work because i have no service

Damn...I'm at a loss here...
Yep...get the esn set up with metro...

Damn guess I better, thanks for the input. I appreciate it

I realized that the esn on this evo is already added to the metro network.. due to some unmentionable modifications. I simply cant get service to activate the phone..

What does it mean to update profile and PRL?

Iv seen it in posts not sure what it means any help?

Sorry, I've always wanted to do this: What does it mean to update profile and PRL?
To actually do it, you go to Settings -> About Phone -> System Updates

When you select "Update Profile", your device connects to sprints data network and makes a request to the OMADM (open mobile alliance device manager), which in turn pushes a provXML file to your phone with your MDN, MSID, username, primary and secondary HA ip addresses, HA password and AAA password. There are probably a handful of other values involving wimax and such but I don't know what they are.
This information is what your phone uses to authenticate itself on sprints network for voice and data. If any of these values were to be incorrect then you could have issues make/receiving calls and/or connecting to data.
"Update PRL" makes the same type of request to the OMADM, in this case though it sends your Preferred Roaming List. This is basically a list of tower Ids and capabilities. Carriers will often release new PRLs as towers get built/updated and roaming contracts with other carriers change. It saves them lots of money to be sure you are roaming on the cheapest tower since they have to pay the respective company for your airtime.
This was probably not the answer you were looking for but... I was board and thought I would share since I didn't like what Google spat out.

Good info. The granularity of the PRL is at the SID level though, not the tower level.

Hi littisimo, I know this is an old thread but I am taking a long shot as yours was the only explanation that made sense in my situation, really disappointed as I spent numerous hours trying to have sprint fix my issue.
In short, I am trying to get my phone unlocked from sprint to move to GSM, paid all the bills on time, and the ETF's too. they are saying that they unlocked the phone in their system and it's done. I am saying how do that relay that programming information to my phone. Since I am not on sprint network anymore. Anyone has any idea how this is done? I was assured by them that they can unlock the phone even if it is not on their network. Anyone?

Epic 4G touch - text/talk/1Gb of web 55$ ,PAGEPLUS

Hey guys, I've had a motorolla droid X on pageplus with the 40$ plan.
It has talk/text/ and 20mb of web. But they just released a 55$ plan with talk text and 1gb of data. Pageplus is the verizon network.
I gave them my E4GT Hex code and they said the phone was eligible. ( its great that they take sprint phones )
For those of you who don't want to flash the samsung incognito esn, just to get on boost mobile this is a great substitute. Especially if, you prefer verizon towers and dont mind a cap on your data... I dont use that much (yet).
check it out >>
https://www.pagepluscellular.com/Online Store/Minutes/55 Plan Card.aspx

that's good news! I'm thinking about in buying a new samsung galaxy s2 epic 4g White model for sprint that I'm gonna flash to page plus, Do you think it will work on page plus? because the white is a new model so I'm not sure if it will work, and if it work do i have to flash it or all i need to do is give the esn or hex to pageplus and they will activate it? Please answerrrr me Thanksssssss.....

1GB is a joke, I'm at 3GB with 20 days left on billing cycle. How do people manage to have a E4GT without unlimited is crazy.

That's okay... I see you saying you used 3GB in 10 days, and think you are crazy.
I am on wifi at home, so no data use there. And at work, I'm on wifi, so no data use there. Even if I didn't have wifi, I don't see how I would use that much data at work, since there is a radio or PC for streaming music.
What do you do to use that much data?

I don't work behind a desk , so i have to use my phone as a pc.

I flashed using the Same instructions used for the HTC HERO
EVO to PagePlus
By KrInEn
Software needed
• CDMA workshop 3.5.5 or 2.7 (3.5.5 prefered)
• QPST 2.7 build 323
• HTC Sync
• Diag Drivers (may be included in HTC SYNC)
Marketplace Apps needed
• APN Backup & Restore
• Droid Wall (recommended for data restrictions, must have ROOT)
THIS TUTURAL IS ASSUMING THAT YOU ARE ALREADY BASIC FLASHED!
If you are NOT basic flashed, PM me and we can work something out with remotely flashing your phone and activating it on Page plus.
Ok, so first things first, install QPST, Workshop, and all drivers. Now you will need your SPC/MSL code. So;
STEP 1: SPC/MSL Code
Plug in your phone to your PC, when prompted choose “Just Charge”. Open the Dialer and dial ##3424#, this should bring up a black screen with a modem phone etc. You are now in DIAG mode, if your PC prompts please install the diag drivers at this point. Screen should look like this:
Ok, we are in diag mode, now go into your device manager and take note what COM port your phone is on.
Now open up CDMA workshop. For those of you using 3.5.5 this should be cake.
3.5.5 Users ONLY:
Connect to your phone and read it. I will not post any pictures because if you have 3.5.5 paid I am sure you know how to do this. Click on security and then in the SPC section click the drop down box to “HTC Method” and click read. Once it reads your 6 digit MSL click send, should say ‘Phone unlocked”. Click SPC and then “write 000000”, Tada you are done.
2.7 Users:
Ok same as above connect to your phone and read it. Click on Security then under SPC where it says “Default Method” change it to “Universal RAM Method”. Then click read, you should get a box like this;
Set it just as shown above, and then click Ok. Sit back this will take a while. You will then get a list of 30 – 40 possible SPC codes. Start pumping the 6 digit codes in here one by one until you get “phone unlocked”
When you see “phone unlocked” change the 6 digits to all 0’s and click SPC then Write. Congratulations SPC section DONE!
STEP 2: Programming
With your phone still connected and in DIAG mode. Go to Start > Programs > QPST > QPST Configuration. Should look something like this (minus all of the ports)
Click on “Add New Port”
Uncheck “Show Serial and USB/QC Diagnostic ports only” you should now see the port your phone is on, double click it. Your phone should now show up on that first screen. Now click on “start clients” then “service programming”. You should be greeted by this;
Click OK and here we go.
Click “Read from Phone”
Click OK, once it is done reading using the arrows at the top right, scroll right until you see M.IP and PPP Config.
Click on M.IP first
Change Mobile IP Behavior to “Simple IP only” and click on Profile 2.
Make it look just like ^ but have your 10digit MDN in front of the “@” signs. HA Shared Secret and AAA Secret both click on Enter text string and type in “vzw” (without the quotes). Then click OK.
Click on PPP Config
Click on Um and change “user name” to “[email protected]” Change Tethered NAI to “[email protected]” Change password to “vzw”. Click on AN set user name to “[email protected]” and password to “vzw”.
You are done, click write to phone.
Step 3: MMS
This is done on the phone. This will be short and sweet, if you made it this far this will be cake.
-Download APN backup&restore from the marketplace.
- Open APN Backup
- Click BACKUP APN'S!
- Download this file http://www.megaupload.com/?d=46FKCYV0 <<<< LINK IS DEAD
- Mount phone as disk drive
- Copy file to apnbackup folder
- Unmount phone
- Turn on airplane mode
- Open APN backup
- Delete APN's
- Restore APN's (select EVO pageplus file)
- Turn off airplane mode
- Reboot
There you have it, full flashed. If 3G is spotty try flashing a NON EVDO PRL to the phone.
This tutorial is FREE, if you want to donate to future endeavors, or just want to buy me a beer.

I'm having trouble getting it to work though.
( There is also a write up here with PRL files and a word DOC with screen shots for more information. )
- I changed Profile 1 in QPST when I first tried this out through the phones data programming menu. by typing ##DATA#
I got data settings from kitty wireless right here>>

Primary Port 8080
Primary LXL Port 443
Secondary Port 8080
Secondary LXL Port 443
User Password vzw
Homepage http://homepage
- Profile 2 is on the settings in the write up at the top of the page. I think I might be doing something wrong with profile 1, cause i didnt know what I was doing when I set those settings. But 2 doesnt work either. I'm going to figure this all out in the next few days though. :0)
*I'm going to post screen shots of QPST when I have more details. *
*AS OF NOW I HAVENT GOTTEN THIS TO WORK, LET ME CONFIRM EVERYTHING FIRST BEFORE YOU TRY THIS.*

I have heard about it. Is it difficult to switch your carrier? I currently use Boost Mobile and had someone flash it for me. I would prefer to do the flash myself just to save money.

People say "flash" to avoid the "change ESN" term that seems to perk up trolls like live flesh attracts walkers. If you've got a normal Samsung Epic, I'd encourage you to check out this nearly comprehensive guide (things can be a little dicey in the "data" step, and you'll have to force 1xRTT on the phone end until somebody can figure out how to get EvDo working - also, I'd use a more up to date PRL if you can find one):

I've heard you can get 3G if you can pull the DMU
keys from a working verizon phone. I have a Droid D X sitting around
if anyone can confirm this please reply.
Right now I'm running 1X and I hate it. I may flash to boost if I can overcome the hassle. might be worth it to me.

Trust me - It's NOT. Boost Mobile sucks big time and PagePlus is a miracle in comparison, even with their 1xRTT data. I actually ended up switching back to Sprint's legendary $30 a month unlimited data plan and have never looked back to Boost's sickly plans or PagePlus's mediocre amounts of included data (and lack of roaming on Sprint). Whatever you do, do NOT go to Boost.

But you had to pay an outrageous $50 a month for a while to get that. If you're gonna pay a Sprint MVNO for unlimited data without roaming, at least try Virgin Mobile since their unlimited is $35 (still no roaming though) right off the bat.

Ur right I did have to pay 50 for six months but I still get good service.

The MVNO I use - KDDI Mobile - has a similar plan for single phone users:
500 "Anytime" minutes
Free nights & weekends
Unlimited text & web
$69.99 /mo
The added benefit is for those who call Japan - free landline calls in the "Anytime" minutes.
Phone is stock Sprint and behaves just like a Sprint phone, which is why I jumped on the E4GT. Our family plan + unlimited web for my phone is still only about $140 for 1000 minutes.... and it's unlikely that we'll exceed that again anytime soon.

The MVNO I use - KDDI Mobile - has a similar plan for single phone users:
500 "Anytime" minutes
Free nights & weekends
Unlimited text & web
$69.99 /mo
The added benefit is for those who call Japan - free landline calls in the "Anytime" minutes.

That's even worse. I actually do the Sprint SERO thing and get everything you're talking about for $30 - plus free roaming. Outside of Sprint SERO, only Virgin Mobile or TMobile has a good affordable data plan (unfortunately, they operate only on inferior GSM devices and have worse coverage than Sprint).

Those of you using Page Plus on your Epic 4G Touch, are you having problems with dropped calls?

Here's what im working on with 3g.
I'm having trouble getting it to work though.
( There is also a write up here with PRL files and a word DOC with screen shots for more information. )
- I changed Profile 1 in QPST when I first tried this out through the phones data programming menu. by typing ##DATA#
I got data settings from kitty wireless right here>>
http://www.kittywireless.com/pageplus/pageplusmanualprogramming.html
Code:
Primary Proxy Address ppcgw1.vzwreseller.com

- Profile 2 is on the settings in the write up at the top of the page. I think I might be doing something wrong with profile 1, cause i didnt know what I was doing when I set those settings. But 2 doesnt work either. I'm going to figure this all out in the next few days though. :0)
*I'm going to post screen shots of QPST when I have more details. *
*AS OF NOW I HAVENT GOTTEN THIS TO WORK, LET ME CONFIRM EVERYTHING FIRST BEFORE YOU TRY THIS.*

anyway someone could help me with this when I get an sg2? please?

[UPDATE: 4/2/12] PRL Information Thread

Before I go into the full details of the project, let's go over what a PRL is, what it does, and why it matters to you.
What Really is a PRL?
"The Preferred Roaming List (PRL) is a database residing in a wireless (primarily CDMA) device, such as a cellphone, that contains information used during the system selection and acquisition process. In the case of R-UIM-based CDMA devices, the PRL resides on the R-UIM. The PRL indicates which bands, sub bands and service provider identifiers will be scanned and in what priority order. Without a PRL, the device may not be able to roam, i.e. obtain service outside of the home area. There may be cases where missing or corrupt PRL's can lead to a customer not having service at all.
On many networks, regularly updating the PRL is advised if the subscriber uses the device outside the home area frequently, particularly if they do so in multiple different areas. This allows the phone to choose the best roaming carriers, particularly "roaming partners" with whom the home carrier has a cost-saving roaming agreement, rather than using non-affiliated carriers. PRL files can also be used to identify home networks along with roaming partners, thus making the PRL an actual list that determines the total coverage of the subscriber, both home and roaming coverage."
Source: Wikipedia
TLDR: The PRL tells a device what towers to connect to, which frequency to search on, and in what order to connect to them. This includes "on" and "off" network towers. PRLs do not effect 4G WiMax performance.
Why Should I Care?
The PRL directly effects the coverage you receive and the data speed performance of your device. Ensuring you have the latest PRL is critical to maintaining the best signal your device will get. However, there are a few "special" PRLs we can use in order to gain access to hidden features, such as 3G data roaming.
So What is This About?
I'm glad you asked. I've been working on this for a few months now and I'm now ready to go public in order to gain more statistical data from my fellow peers. I have a collection of PRLs that I have rigorously tested to see which ones give me the best performance. This isn't enough. I need real world testing for as many members as I can get.
While I can't give the full details of my project away yet, let me assure you it will benefit everyone on Sprint. Phase 1 of my project has already started and here is how you can contribute:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArqBGjrbNosddGR3OURoNnJLdTlTaEo1RmVEYjdVNlE
The above document is open to everyone and can be edited by everyone. This spreadsheet will be used to compile data from everyone's usage of the PRLs available to us. Check the bottom of the file for sheet of each individual PRL. Each one has it's own sheet. Just add your data for which ever PRL you are testing.
The tool accepted for measuring data speed is Speedtest.net. They are the industries leader in speed testing, and it is a very reliable application.
If the PRL you are testing isn't there, I have included a template sheet so you can make your own sheet. Please stick to the format and be honest. This project is for everyone to benefit from, so don't ruin it for anyone. Also be sure you are adding your raw data to the correct PRL sheet. Little mistake like that can skew the data. Please test "Home" and "Roam" equally, I am trying to obtain the best performing PRL overall. I want to repeat that 4G WiMax is not effected by PRL, so do not include 4G in your testing.
Be impartial, be true, be consistent, and most of all be precise. If you notice something is wrong, fix it. You can chat inside the document. Just check the top right hand side for the people viewing the document. I will check this document often and update it regularly.
I have included the primary PRLs for testing in the 2nd post, and instructions how to manually update your PRL from a PC in the 3rd post. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask away.

So far it hasn't performed like I expected. I believe this is due to our devices not being Network Vision ready. Originally it was reported and displayed that it was tested for the 800 MHz band, but I guess that was a lie. I do not think the 800 MHz band can be disabled by software. This makes sense since we have the regular PRL's like all the other devices.
So far 60683 performs the best on network. If you roam a lot, the 11115 seems to be the way to go, that way you can flip between roaming and home network with Roam Control.

Yes way out here in the country 1115 has worked best for me. Thanks.

Feel free to test the 12117 though! You never know what you may get in performance. Maybe it really does work and our device can pick up the 800 MHz frequency? Maybe during the time of testing 12117 didn't perform like it should have due to variables.
Like I said, I have multiple tests I still need to run, then I can move on to phase 2.

Maybe you are not in an area with network vision enabled yet?

I'm really interested in trying out the 11115 PRL. I'll let you know how it goes.

Love that you wrote it on a boogieboard. Thing's really useful.

Been running 11115 for awhile. Definitely get best of both worlds

Does 9999 has Verizon 3G or only Verizon 1x?

Running 11115 PRL here. I get exceptional roaming data rates, and very good home network data rates. Coupled with Roam Control for network access at work, 11115 PRL is best for me.
Thanks Korey for all your work.

Excel is more practical...

Wouldn't it make more sense to do the tests at morning/afternoon/night on separate days, then take the average from there? I think that would be a more well rounded test.

11115 has been the best for me by far. Alot of the places I go I end up roaming. Paired with Roam Control I can switch it over to roaming and get Data when I need it. I don't run it like that all the time but when I do force it so roam I get nice 3G speeds.

I've tested 11115 multiple times with latest version of Roam Control, in Northern New Jersey. I only get 1x Verizon data speeds, no matter what, including the typical long latencies (~900ms).
With 9999 I get robust 3G Verizon data, but doesn't roam back onto Sprint when there is poor Verizon coverage.
Ideal would be something akin to 9999 but with roaming back onto Sprint network when needed.

I have been using the 01337 Hacked Verizon PRL for a long time now and it's performed great.

I get no data roaming with this in Boston for some reason
