Epic on boost? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I read somewhere that if someone were to let's say..do the whole "boost mobile incog" to "epic 4g" method they can get in trouble and even get their phone remotely deactivated because the network finds out they're using another phone from the use of android market and other apps the incognito doesn't have... is this true? or even worth asking about?
Note: Although an answer to this question may be directly related to esn modifications ***Please do not discuss meid/esn mods.. I know its looked down upon here in the forums (illegal).... Refrain from discussing how to do this type of mod or posting any links on how to while answering this hypothetical question.. I've just never heard of this actually happening to someone... thanks

[Q] Samsung Epic sms/mms FAILED

Hey you guys i need help. 6 out of 10 text or mms i send come up as failed. this problem never happened before. i factory reset the phone and everything. im using the stock messaging app as well. is anyone else having this problem with text and picture mail not sending on their epic?
You would better answers if you put this in the right section.

I thought this would be a good section being that it promotes android development if other people have the same issue... but thats just a thought.
Gotta ask these things in Q&A forum. This board is specifically for devs to post their roms, root methods, etc. things like that.
Oh, and it's probably your connection, but that's just my guess.

[Q] Best Kept Secret... [Epic 4G + MetroPCS] ?

Is it just me or is fully flashing the Samsung Epic 4G to MetroPCS the best kept secret?
I got my phone fully flashed today from some guy on Craigslist and it's literally mind-boggling that no one on the internet has toppled this "obstacle". Am I missing something? Is there a reason why legitimate information about flashing the Epic to Metro is so rare to find?
By the way, I've been viewing the settings for the last hour and literally everything I've seen on the internet was obsolete. MMSC URL, DSA Server, and even altering the proxy and port in the Advanced Wi-Fi Settings. There's not even a proxy or port displaying at all.
I'm still rooted but I was running EC05 (Official Froyo) with the SyndicateROM Frozen Rom but now that he reflashed it, I'm stuck with ECLAIR DG27... I'm not risking a manual update because I don't want to lose my MMS and Web functionality especially considering the fact that I had to pay smh.
If anyone needs my ##DATA# settings, let me know. Maybe, together, we can figure this thing out...
It's mostly because
1) Our phone isn't exactly popular on demand.
2) Our phone isn't appreciated for what it has.
3) The Dev's who had metro and this phone went poof.
4) The other 5 things I missed.
because metro pretty much sucks...
I always put geo engines in my lambos

Does the data work on this phone? Can you wireless teather? Can you browser the internet? Does mms work?
I haven't tried tethering but everything else works. I even tried out the GPS on my way home, works flawlessly.
No surprise the GPS works... That is a completely independent service. Transmitter and software.
You're right about the GPS. The internet works and mms also sends and receives. I'm sure we'll soon find a solution to this problem.
I wouldn't mind a guide. I hate sprint. Maybe you should check on the vibrant(or sorry whatever verizons galaxy s is)? Or if anybodys got it working for nexus s4g..
cd's or tapes?
Hmm... I'll look around.
There is a full guide in the dev section, it's buried deep so have to go buy lots of pages...

I actually viewed that before but I was unsure if it would work for metro. Maybe by incorporating metro settings rather than the boost settings but I don't know.

[Q] 4g/Wimax for boost/repair epic touch

Okay This has been an ongoing thing for me and others. Long story short I would like to have 4g/wimax implemented on my Epic Touch 4g. I have everything else working fine for my lovely phone.4g is the only thing missing.Now for those of those who are new to this topic or have questions this process has been done on the first epic. Either with launcher pro/activities/wimaxlinetest or with dialing *#147852# and accessing wimaxlinetest from there. Now with that also being said first step does not work on epic touch,when you go int eh ability to write epic mac address and save wimax mac id has been removed and that dialer code that I stated earlier does not work on Epic Touch.
Now for things that have been said already.
1."You cannot do it because phone has to be activated to sprint for 4G to be provision" Sprint 3g and 4g radios and provisioning work totally different.3g and 4g authentication works totally different. 3g talks to sprint,4g talks to clearwire.
As long as you have an active sprint account and you have a 4g device you can use same mac address on epic touch 2 that you have on boost.
2."You wont be able to use 4g because phone is not activated what so ever" Phone does not have to be activated to sprint or boost for 4g to work.Please dont tell me that it has to because I still have original 4g epic that is not activated and 4g data works just fine. I still can use youtube,gtalk,google voice,etc.AND AS I STATED EARLIER MY OG EPIC IS NOT ACTIVATED.
3."WHY DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS ANYWAY" I think the better question would be why not. Its my device I payed for it so why not use it how I want to use it. And I know its hard to do but please refrain from filling thread with unnecessary talk about being cheap,why I want to do this,its illegal etc. Because to be honest its pretty much the same principle for rooting and getting the most out of your device.And last time I checked free hotspot and changing roms and things like that are frowned upon to SPRINT so please save it lol. But then again I cannot stop no one for posting on the thread so hey. But please keep it positive or for the most part im just going to ignore you anyway. All I am asking for is help,And I would greatly appreciated it.Bashing is really not going to get us nowhere and sorry if Im coming off a little standoffish,but a great guy who does alot with helping people tried what im trying now,only for the thread to talk about things that had nothing to do with the subject. He got frustrated and decided to delete the thread. Hopefully we can get it resolved this time.
THANK YOU
LETS GET STARTED!!!!!!!!!!!
okay.... don't everybody answer at once lol

Yes. 4G Boost action
Please message me about how you got that quad data to work. I am also on Boost Mobile with my Epic 4g Touch. I have already tweaked the 3G settings (minimal gain, if any) and have been through the "Full WiMax Settings" thread with no change. I can connect but the bits aren't flowing.
NOTE: If anyone needs help going from a Galaxy Prevail to their Epic Touch I can help.
i def need help

all it does is forces your phone to roam of a vzw tower. you will always roam. the dialer code for us is actually ##3282#. and most hacked prl's (00001 00002 01337 etc) will not write using the phone itself you must use something like qpst/cdma workshop to apply. personally i tend to drop to 1x when i use any of those but i dont know if thats just me or not. to apply name the prl your trying to "test.prl" and put on the root of your sd card. hit ##3282# in the dialer and when the menu comes up hit view. at the bottem hit PRL write and then the button that pops up after. It will apply and reboot. Cant hurt nothing but most likely wont work from the phone. results may very. from what i remember only one that worked for me writing from the phone was 01337 however all three didnt get me 3g. good luck

Ive tried it before and yes using ##DATA## to write a Roaming PRL (I tried 00001) DOES work and will get you 3G if there is a strong enough Verizon signal.
Thanks for all the info you guys I got the wrong impression when I first read about it
Didn't know where to put it huh?
Well here's a bit of helpful advice, if you put a question mark on your title, your thread needs to be posted in the Q&A. Simple I think!

actually they will with Any Cut. But using the 00001 PRL is dumb. Use a Sprint Corporate PRL like 11115, 11117, or 11119. They also allow roaming on 3g and when roam control is working on our phone you'll be able to toggle between Sprint and Verizon.

Ya any cut is good for it too. Never mess with the prls myself anyway. None give me 3g and even if it did 300 mb ain't **** wen u actually have a usable connection.I'd burn that up super quick. Can't even DL a ROM with it don't see the point

See you just asked a question as well. Then looks like your post to him should have been posted in the proper thread as well. (Q&A) Your right pretty simple. No biggie. He made a mistake. I know you never made a mistake.
You know, Im getting sick of people posting **** that they should know doesnt belong in the development thread. @Autorail - read the rules before you post. You cant post in development when you first get an account for a reason. It gives you plenty of time to read the rules. There is a sticky on the first page of development. If you bothered to read it, it says:
Only the following topics are allowed in DEVELOPMENT area:
[DEV] - Development for any special projects or Apps
[ROM] - Custom ROMs
[KERNEL] - Custom Kernels
[MOD] - Hack & Modifications for the phone
[FIX] - Fixes for known issues & bugs
[R&D] - Research & Development for Devs only, when gathering data for a new projects
[HOWTO] / [GUIDE] - How to instructions and Guides
If whatever you are posting doesnt fall into any of those categories, than it goes somewhere else.
I hate seeing this crap on every freaking device. READ, READ, READ, and use the SEARCH BUTTON.
If I would of known people would be getting butt hurt because of a honest mistake I wouldn't of posted in the first place . Hinges mistake so what give me a warning suspend or cancel my account doesn't matter you guys get but hurt to easily haha
Download 00001.prl, put in in the root of internal storage - /sdcard. Rename it to test.prl, disable mobile data, from phone dialer - ##3282#, choose view, choose write prl, choose write prl. After reboot, reenable mobile data and you should be roaming on Verizon, possibly roaming with 3g speeds.
You can confirm this by going to Settings/About/Status, where PRL will be "1".
To reset back to Sprint prl, go to Settings/System Updates, then do Update Profile, then Update PRL.

[Q] Automatically Switching Between 3G/4G

Is there a way for 3G to switch to 4G automatically? Yes, I know that 4G has to be turned on separately, but I know my old blackberry was capable of this, where you didn't have to turn the 4G toggle on, and wait for it to work. I wasn't using sprint at the time, but 4G is rare to me now, and I'd like my phone to switch to 4G on its own, without draining my battery and keeping it on. Is this possible? Or is this only with GSM phones? And can it be done with this phone? Details help, all post are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Sorry, wrong section.. If a mod see this, please move it... thanks...
You would probably be better off asking a mod to move this to the questions...and...answers...section.

As mentioned you're in the wrong section.
But.
Sprint Connections Optimizer is what you're looking for. Though most disable/remove it. For the answers to why it's what you're looking for and why people don't use it. Just do some searching.
