Hi and I want to make everyone clear that this is my first post here at XDA.

This is only for the HTC EVO.

Im making it after several days of reading post and post and eveyone telling me that MMS on metropcs will not work if your phone has a PORT ROOM, exa: virus roms, myns, etc.

I have succesfully been able to achieve this by doing this steps which im going to explain to all of you.

Ok with all that clear lets start:

What you are going to need:

APN MANAGER

HANDCENT SMS

[AllianceROM][r7.3] HybriD 3D[Sense 2.1 OTA

STEPS:

1.Im supposing your phone its flashed already and that you flashed one of many ported roms out there and that your MMS are not working.

2. If you do or dont have any of those roms Im going to give you the one that worked for me ( Again im assuming this will work on VIRUS AND MYNS ROMS AS WELL BUT IM NOT SURE.

The rom i used was :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1120734

Which is a port from the shift and looks almost exactly to SENSE 3.0

3.Follow the steps on that forum on how to install it. Download the one thats NOT MODDED!! Very important!

4.After you do that and your phone boots up, Go ahead and install APN MANAGER From Market.

5.Follow the steps you always followed to get MMS working but never worked.

(note: if you dont know the steps i will post them if you need them)

6.Restar your phone

7.Install HANDCENT SMS

8. Now using HANDCENT SMS you should be able to send and receive MMS on your GB 2.3 SENSE 3.0 ROM.!!

THanks again this is my first post and hopefully helps some of us with this issue.

i am not really understanding how to do this, can you please put more instructions on how to do the apn. I have been trying to get my mms working for a minute, but failed every single time.

Yes please be a little more specific as in a step by step listing of exactly what information needs to be entered and where. I personally do not have Metro but came across this site trying to help someone and your a little vague IMO on certain steps.

Hey I am a smartphone user and going off to college next year.. Currently on AT&T and in a family plan with my mom and dad. Our contract "expires" this July as its been two years. Unfortunately I have like one more year b/c my phone got stolen and I had to upgrade. My parents didn't.

Currently our family plan is around $110. ($30 unlimited data, no texting for anyone, cheapest voice plan)

Anyway, they use "dumbphones" and I was wondering, since they can leave AT&T in July.. Is there a way for them to use like MetroPCS and me to stay on AT&T and save some money? I know they have some unlimited voice plans (which is ALL they need)

$10 is not that worth it but if I can use AT&T and my parents use voice-only on another carrier for $20 that would definitely be worth it.

All my parents need is voice unlimited and decent coverage in the North new Jersey / new york area.. A sim-card service would also be ideal (idk if metropcs is, just an example!)

(I know this is a long post, but I have honestly done the research but just cannot find the answer.. I know some of you guys can though!)

--

Alright, if you guys can allow me to get data only and both my parents with unlimited voice for around $90, AWESOME!

However, if it still rounds out to like $100 or $110 (current plan), I might as well stay with AT&T..

If this is the case, what is the "best" dumbphone for AT&T? They don't need a keyboard, no data obviously, need at least 2 days of battery life, and a screen with some decent-sized type so they can see all the letters/numbers. Also would like to pay no more than $50 on eBay or other site.. Don't wanna waste an upgrade for a free phone if I can pay $50

optional: touchscreen. also optional but kinda important is some sort of expandable memory cuz they might listen to some music.

-- Sorry for LONG post but I think the questions are fairly simple if you guys know.. So thanks a lot in advance!!

I have always wanted to have multiple numbers ring my Google Voice account and now from what I am reading Google is making that a possibility.

My question is has anyone ever tried to put more then two numbers on Google Voice? I would like to port a old cell phone number in while keeping my Google Voice number as well as get a new number in my new area for my main number.

So, I want it to look like this.

Current Main Google Voice, port old cell phone. Pay $20.00 to keep the old Google Voice number active.

Change my Google Voice number to a new local number. Pay $20.00 to keep the old Cell Phone number (while keeping the old Google Voice number) active.

Main Number (New Number in my Area)

Incoming Number (Old Cell Phone)

Incoming Number (Old Google Voice)

Anyone else notice that the Music Player doesn't really shuffle all that well?

I've got a 32 gig card loaded in, all my music on the SD card. Have the player set to All Music with the shuffle setting on. I've got some artists that are heavily represented with hundreds of songs....but I've got others that have only one CD ripped in. When I'm at the gym, which is around 90 minutes, it's not uncommon to hear an artist with only one CD ripped come up three times or so. It's not a coincidence. It also seems to vary from session to session.

So....anyone else notice this?
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
Yes but none of the music players I've tried seem to shuffle very well. I've found double twist to be the best at it though with some good options.
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
I never use my music player but i do use google music cloud app which does a good job at random shuffle but Audio galaxy does it better as they have a thing called genie shuffling. U pick the first song and it will try to select all songs that come close to that first song in comparison in shuffling. Lets say u pick lady gaga it will play all the daNCE songs in shuffling like katy perry etc.

[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
Yeah have fun trying to customize that and iTunes don't even get me started. Don't get me wrong as purely a music player I wouldn't have anything else minus iTunes of course.
[Vibrant General] dkmdlb:
The same song coming up twice in a row isn't an indication that the "random" algorithm on the music player is crappy. It is almost certain to happen on occasion. Also, in a truly random system, each song is as likely as each other song to be played; a random string of songs has no memory. Like flipping a coin. So all your Michael Buble songs are as likely to come up as any other songs. Add in a little confirmation bias and there you have it!

Back to the question. I like Winamp. I'm an old fan from back in the day when it was the music player of choice for the desktop computer. I can't vouch for its shuffle capabilities though.

[Epic 4G General] NEXUS 4G:
As we all know Gingerbread has been in the oven... And I was one of those people who could not wait for it to cool off. As soon as I saw the leak early saturday morning, I was already downloading. what could go wrong, right? I odin'd the ef02.tar, started her up and wow, she's beautiful, save the extra ugly 4g symbol in the window sill (notification bar) that looks even worse now than previous desserts.

Keep in mind this is a stock .tar. No root. No cwm. No nothing. Except bloat. Low and behold my beautiful lil girl had a very serious functionality flaw. After my first reboot, no more incoming phone calls :^(...

So I've tried everything, I gained root, installed cwm 3.1.0.1 wiped data, cache, dalvik multiple times. Re odin'd the .tar. Flashed Decad3nce's odexed and deodexed roms. Updated modems. Tried frozen on ec05, took a shot at simply AOSP, odin'd a stock ec05, even went all the way back to eb13, with cwm 2.5 (changing file systems when needed) now I'm back to a bone stock ec05 from the stickies in development... Still no incoming phone calls. I called sprint technical and they were unable to resolve the issue.

Funny thing is I can make calls, I have data (3&4g), I can text, just won't receive.

Has anybody else seen anything remotely close to this. If so please comment, if not, comment anyways. I wanna get some opinions on my situation.

P.S. feel free to laugh at my short comings, lord knows just thinking about it brings chuckles to my mind...

Something kinda similar is happening to me. It was after flashing marcusaunts i1 rom, i lost the ability to receive texts, i can send them though.

You know, i did install google voice. But ive installed it multiple times until now, so i figured it was unrelated. But this past time it did take my texts through there, which had never happened before. thats why i uninstalled it. Im gonna check that out and see if it fixes it. Good luck with your issues.
[Epic 4G General] compuw22c:
Sounds like you clicked yes to Sprint integration (ports your number temporarily to google). So they go to your google voice account, however you can check an option to have them sent also to your phone as well (although if you do this with google voice installed you will probably get 2 notifications per 1 sms). Also call screening is an option that is enabled by default, option in google voice (desktop web interface). I had to turn that off too (the press 1 thing). Hope this helps, its just options. Also you could go online and disable the integration and go back to normal.

EDIT: Also make sure your phone is listed to receive calls in the web interface (via a desktop). I know it should do this by default but maybe it didn't for god knows what reason?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnlilas:
Having nandroid backup/restore + Titanium Backup Pro (TB) is a must for user trying different ROMs

frequently (like LeeDroid Froyo, LeeDroid GingerBread, Cyanogenmod 7..). But there is a problem you should be aware of:

by default there is only one TB directory on the SD card (/sdcard/TitaniumBackup).

Since the system data backuped are specific to each ROM, when you switch to other ROM, Titanium Backup is lost

about system applications and data (some seen as backuped but uninstalled, some seen as not yet backuped).

The trick: define a ROM-specific name for each Titanium Backup directory, thanks to TB Preferences menu.

For example:

/sdcard/TitaniumBackup_LD_Froyo for LeeDroid Froyo ROM when running TB under this ROM

/sdcard/TitaniumBackup_LD_GB for LeeDroid GingerBread ROM when running TB under this ROM

/sdcard/TitaniumBackup_CM7 for Cyanogenmod 7 ROM when running TB under this ROM

By doing this, all things are in sync when you switch between ROMs.

This assumes you have sufficiently space on SD card, which should be the case (TB data are about 500 MB

for about 270+ user applications).

Scenario:

You currently have LeeDroid Froyo ROM, and you would like to try LeeDroid GingerBread ROM and Cyanogenmod 7 ROM without

losing your current operational ROM and associated TB backup.

1- copy the content of my current /sdcard/TitaniumBackup_LD_Froyo to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup_LD_GB (duplication).

2- copy the content of my current /sdcard/TitaniumBackup_LD_Froyo to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup_CM7 (duplication).

3- To try LeeDroid GingerBread, flash LeeDroid GingerBread ROM, run Titanium Backup and immediately set TB directory via Preferences menu to

/sdcard/TitaniumBackup_LD_GB. After playing around with this ROM and taking TB backup,

and before switching to other ROM, I take a nandroid backup.

4- To try Cyanogenmod 7, flash CM7 ROM, run Titanium Backup and immediately set TB directory via Preferences menu to

/sdcard/TitaniumBackup_CM7. After playing around with this ROM and taking TB backup,

and before switching to other ROM, take a nandroid backup.

5- From now on, to switch between the 3 ROMs, just use your corresponding nandroid restore :-).

Edit: there is also a problem with /sdcard/.android_secure directory for applications installed on SD.

You may want to instantiate this directory too per ROM.

Yes and no. You have to modify the framework on a pc and then you can put it on your phone and use root explorer to replace it. Since the images are in the framework-res.apk you can't really edit them from the phone and replace it.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] aglebot:
This is probably because you are blocking ads via your /etc/hosts file. If you are using any non-stock ROM this is probably true. This interferes with Hulu's ads and prevents it from continuing. If you download and install the "AdFree" from the market then use it to revert to the non-blocking hosts file, then Hulu should work. When you are done watching, you can run AdFree again to reblock ads (if you want).
