[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinydude100:
I am one of the few, if not only members on XDA who has their Epic to MetroPCS.

If you're having issues with the internet, there's a file foating on the net that calculates the metropcs wap password needed in order to be online. Its calculated based off of your MEID.

My phone was flashed as the 2nd poster said. With the autostart u2nl crap. It sucked. My phone did not last long and the autostart was hogging my battery. It was possible with Shiziopunk's Epic Experience 2.1 eclair. (Outdated) though sine I've moved, MetroPCS towers no longer reach me in the state of Oregon so I roam 24/7. Using wifi and third party apps for mms and whatnot. I use EG22 deodexed stock now. Still have service. I still have the MetroPCS rom backed up in clockwork mod, but unless I was instructed on how to strip my personal data from it, I'm not sharing.. Donations would be appreciated to any interested. Afterall I did pay 75$ for my rom.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
im not worried about internet or anything like that yet. i need to get the phone to connect to a metro tower first. ill figure out mms and internet afterwards. i also plan on doing a metropcs version of any syndicate rom i do. it will be what the rom is plus all the **** to make the phone run on metropcs smoothly
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinydude100:
Honestly if all that worried you was getting it to connect to a metro tower, then get your esn added with Metro. That simple.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
like i mentioned before i follwed the steps in the op. one of the first steps was to clone the esn or get it added to metropcs. i cloned my esn and still cant connect to a metro tower.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinydude100:
Again. You need to add it to MetroPCS's ESN database, cloning over your Boost ESN is retarded. Boost Mobile is owned by Sprint. Nothing to do with Metro pcs.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] missingxtension:
ESN must be a metro esn or ported esn

I might be able to help on getting a metro esn pm me.

Also about the sprint stuff, I am 100 percent sure that the only problem i am having is a crappy kernel. I still cant download the source code to give a shot at netfilter.

I can send mms no problem, so if i send "hey" to missingxtension@gmale.com it goes thru no problem.

The picture messages are the problem.

I was able to install epic experience 1.9 and it didn't boot.

I downgraded the recovery to 2.5 and it looked promising.

I am not done working on this, but luckily i am to the point to where i can already start using my shift again.

I am currently also working on an evo 3d and nexus s 4g.

Again once i find out, i will post all the information I have.

Also sorry about the pictures, I took a lot of time to write and make screen shots.

But i got the thumbnail links, ill update the links asap.

I will keep an eye out on this thread, its not dead at all.

Also if you pm me, i do get a message on email.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbernardo13:
Hey Shiny, can you pm me with info about your epic on MetroPCS? My wife has her phone already on MetroPCS, and all the basics work just fine, but her eclair has bugs, and I wanted to try to upgrade her Rom. Just wanted yours or anyone else's input. Thanks
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinydude100:
You can upgrade her rom, but in the process, you'll more than likely lose Metro's 3G service with only 1x working (due to iptables I believe) so no picture messaging, or internet if upgraded. You should use clockworkmod for a nand backup an upgrade it once its backed up. I upgraded mine because MetroPCS is non-existent in Oregon but they have roaming here, so I wasn't going to be needing to stay on the MetroPCS friendly rom when I have wifi at home for internet/picture emailing. I'm on EH17 GB and loving it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbernardo13:
Unfortunatly, we do not have 3g here yet, so i guess i'll tackle that when time comes. What is the difference with the GB17? Do you have a link or should i just google it, or is it in a forum? Thanks for your help again
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinydude100:
It still has issues but they are VERY miniscule now. Here is my own Changelog on differences.

Major GPS Lock Improvement.

On Froyo & GB: Adobe Flash Player 10.3 Works Excellent.

Apps 2 SD. (This is a *big* plus, you won't be hoggin the internal Memory Space on her Epic.)

Graphical User Interface Upgraded. The Icons in the settings Menu are now color, instead of the old Eclair look.

Battery Use now has a Graph showing your Battery Life.

Battery Life should improve after you upgrade to EH17, compared to Eclair.

~There are a few more nice things you can get, but you need to upgrade to EH17 before they will work.~ Like CRT Off animation when your screen turns off on her Epic. And a Battery Percentage inside the battery Icon in the Android Status Bar.

Make sure you get clockworkmod installed, nandroid backup her Metro Rom, before you flash anything, that rom is valuable.

Once you decide to upgrade you'll need:

-Samsung Drivers Installed.

If Windows Vista/7 it should install using your internet. If Windows XP, you'll need to look online for the Samsung Drivers. If you're on a 32-bit computer, get the X86 drivers, if on 64-Bit, get the X64 Drivers.

You'll need to download Odin, found in the the Epic Section Titled "Android Development" You can also find it online..

Once you have that, you'll need to power off her Epic, slide open the keyboard, hold down the "1" key and the power button, you'll be in Download mode. Find clockworkmod, follow the instructions and flash that using Odin. (Notice your computer should pick up her Epic as Modem, etc.) Odin will show COM1, 2..3..4.. a diff # for all of us, that's just the port assigned by your computer. Once you flash clockworkmod, next is the nandroid backup.

Turn the phone off it Odin rebooted it. Hold the down button, camera button, and power button. (Have a firm grip, don't let go until the clockworkmod recovery comes up, (should be purple if you odin'd the latest one) go to advanced/backup. Hit yes, and the Nandbackup will begin. This will save you from semi-bricking your girl's epic in the future.

Next you'll want to pick a rom to Flash, you can go with whatever you want, but I reccommend you startoff with roms using the RFS file format until you get the hang of flashing. I'm personally usng Deca's EH17 deodexed rom. Its stock. It has minor reboots, but they aren't too often. Good luck & happy flashing.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playaller:
When you dial *228 does it give you MetroPCS or Another Carriers Prompt? If another carriers prompt then you need to download the MetroPCS .prl to the phone. Thats how the phone locates the towers.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinydude100:
Exactly. And I was assuming you had flashed your phone with metro PCS already, which would have included the PRL, if you're in a rural area, it is possible to hear a diff operator if roaming. Bu if its sprint, then the prl isn't there.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xbiker321:
I have Cricket and have everything working on the $45 plan...except MMS. Guess I'll read through some of these solutions and give em a try.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinydude100:
You have to get your esn added to Cricket's system one way or another, wether that be finding a source who will add it for you for a fee, or getting a phone pre-programmed to cricket, sold to you by someone who lives near a cricket location and shipped to you. If you get the esn added, you can use google to find the appropriate prl, and if you get it preprogrammed or flashed at a location outside your area, prl will be included.

Urgent question!

I used this guide to flash my phone(it was already flashed, but i had to send it to samsung for repairs...epic 4g touch) and now the power button does not function. Is there someway to get back into CDMA or QPST to reprogram it so the power button work again? Ive been searching the net with little results...Really don't think the power button just decided to fail...possible programming? or do I have to send it off for repairs yet again???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apache86:
1. What would you recommend as a good client for the PC for transfering files via Bluetooth? i mean somthing better then the built in Win 7 client.

2. Recently i discoverd QuickPic which is absolutly much better then stock Gallery in terms of customization. but the weird thing is that everybody claims it loads pics much faster then the Gallery while every time i load it, it takes a second the get the sharpness right, even though this is the 20 time i load the same pic. im talking about a "second" that you will notice! i tried everything to fix this including uninstalling and reinstalling the app, clearing cache, moving the files from the external SD to the internal, formating and changing rom's and its still the same though no one else ever mentioned that problem..is it just with me? i wouldnt want to give up QuickPic so fast..also, any other gallery i tried does not have that delay effect for fixing the sharpness. please advice what could be the problem.

Im on litening ROM v4.2 if thats matter.

Thanks!!

I'd like to save the wear & tear on the few hard keys (well, volume & power) when I want to get into APX mode, which is kind of often these days as I experiment with nvflash.

Do any of you know of a way to boot into APX mode from an already booted into linux TF? It could be a terminal command, an ADB shell command, don't care but I'm not yet clear on the actual mechanism that is used to boot into APX.

Thanks much -- Hashi
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawnathan9:
No current method sir..

How much wear and tear can you expect from light pressing these two buttons? - only need nvflash once....if you want root...

then use recovery to flash other roms... adb command: adb reboot recovery
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
I drained my battery to 45% yesterday- all from just flashing different builds. Throw in a few bootloops and soft bricks and those keys are getting a workout!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
That's what I think. About every 5th post in this forum (and others) is about RMA'ing a TF due to stuck or broken power keys. I did find an app that works in a shakey fashion called something like 'fix power button' but it is too iffy for me.

I like messing around with nvflash so that's reason enough to want to be able to boot direct to APX without having to do the button dance.

Hi

My cousin flashed gingerbread on his gt i9000 with odin, but during the process odin said there is an error and the phone just went dead. Now it wont turn on, or go into download mode with 3 button combo.

3) Will it go into downloadmode using a jig?

Freeze market updater using titanium backup and it won't update to new one.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Alex9090:
Once you move it to /system/app folder you don't need to install it. It should work.

Correct, just move it there and check permission. Shouldn't have to change it but soups be rw,r,r.

Reboot after that for good measure.
