Hey Katsumotosoto,

Welcome to XDA & to my thread.

3G signal is currently spotty in some areas, hopefully they won't stay like this.. Although I'm getting really good 3G in my area and almost everywhere I go on a daily basis. Yes my YouTube is working although I have those default sprint settings in their.

Well I'm glad my thread was helpful any questions you have I'll be more than happy to answer them to the best of my knowledge.

Hey guys here is another question and this may answer my not getting 3G in dallas. I was checking my wifes phone on DFS and her shared secret profile user where it says enter value in hex is a 12 digit number, which i dont know how they came up with that one, ive been entering a 6 digit number from the whiterabbit website that said metropcs msl...could this be the issue?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mexigga:
I found mine was a 12 digit hex also in DFS, but JD said his was the 6 digit and he was getting 3g. I had it set both ways to no avail. If you do switch it (after backing up your info) and it works let us know!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlie03:
Well my next question is where are they getting a 12 digit one from?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
I don't think that is the issue as mines is set to the 6 digit MSL code and I'm getting 3G. It has also worked for others.

I'm unsure where they get the 12 digit code, I'm going to look in to that.

JD
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mexigga:
minor fyi...

I played around with Data profile user name...

#@mymetropcs.com vs. #@aaae.metropcs.com and nothing changed.

Hi it has being a few days not posting because of work but i being thinking that if for example me that I have a fixed esn. If I do exactly the same steps as wee do to get the EVO on boost using an Sanyo incognito wee may get it to work. What I'm going to do as soon as I get a free time is I'm going to try to connect my donor phone to cdma and read the memory 465 466 and the other two places with the nam 1 & 2 and load it on the EVO to see if it work. Hope it work like with boost
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
Hey deseo,

Yeah you have been lost, Welcome back lol

Okay, If its a donor phone I say go for it, Although I really doubt its a settings problem.

JD
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlie03:
Hey Guys, just a bit more info. It does not matter if we use a 12 digit or 6 digit code as the MSL Code in the Data Tab. Her phone while a little bit different in the set up is still not getting 3G here in Dallas. I did figure out a couple of things that I thought i would pass along to anyone who is interested.

In the advanced settings the HTTP PD Proxy Address the RSTP Proxy Address and in the Data Profile DSA server is just for getting the OTA updates from Sprint to the EVO's which means changing it or messing with it will do absolutely nothing.

It will not help us with our 3G issues, but on another note my wife did receive an OTA update on her phone and after that the phone started to shut down and get 67 data failure codes. So it might be wise to not update your phones when you see there are new software updates sent by them.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macklin345:
Yea man, as long as we narrow it down, just all im doing is tinkering with it til a new PRL comes out
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mexigga:
agreed. And in my case tinkering could lead to bad bad things...lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlie03:
HAHA..in my case too!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
The 6 Digit MSL Code works perfectly fine for data 1X/3G.

If I were you I wouldn't accept OTA updates if your rooted, Because you may lose root.

Hopefully it will come out soon :D

Yeah you guys gotta be careful with what you change. It's always good to write down the setting before changing them..

was down in the west palm beach/ lake park/ riviera beach areas to day and I can confirm 3G is there. picked it up on W Blue heron blvd and had 3G for most of the time I was down there. for some reason speedtest app wouldnt work (browsing was way fast though) but checked the fone info, sure enough went from 1x to CDMA-EVDO REV-A this was on:

-Synergy RC2

Let's see, What's your location?

JD
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdkfreak123:
In Long island.... its near NY.

Cool,

Well I'm unsure if theirs 3G signal in your location, Do you know of anyone near you that has gotten 3G signal in your area?

JD
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdkfreak123:
well there is on the east side of the island.. but I live on the west side with no coverage. Does that change anything?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
Yes it does, You must be in a 3G coverage area in order to get 3G signal.

3g but not really

First off thank everyone here for the help they've provided, I'm now a little less of a noob with android devices. Heres my problem I have a rooted samsung admire with metro pcs. Stock rom updated prl through qpst. Tried several prls to get 3g 3020 finally worked however my download speeds still suck don't know how to send screen shots but speedtest from market gives me around 89ms ping download 213k tops averages low 100s my upload rocks at 512 andup. I havreconfigured the mip settings in qpst. Using know what else to try frustrated old school techie trying to get back into it and I'm at aloss...any ideas?

Metropcs in dfw market more on the fortworth side

Average signal strength 89 or lower

Found an area in the south side of hurst with 1x only speedtest gives 830 ms ping 49k down and 35k up

wondering if the speeds I'm getting are it for my area but still hope I can get better
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
Hey Techno_plumber,

You have a very good ms ping, Speed really depends on your area. Theirs nothing you can really do to make it faster beside try different locations. I get the best speeds outside my house inside its a little slower.

JD

I'm noticing just that jd maybe I'm *****ing for nothing just updated with some 1x speeds man big improvement I'll try some areas around town and post what I get. Still needto get settings so and verify network but so far it sounds like I'm better of f than I was

Thanks for the help guys! Unfortunately it's still not working. JD I tried changing the apn settings with APN manager and it let me change everything but when I changed the MNC from 120 to 004 it erased my whole apn. Even from the messaging app mms connections. :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
Hey man,

That's strange, Try changing MNC 027 or just leave it how it is. Try changing your password to your MSL code. Go to whiterabbit.org click on android stuff, On the center of the page your enter your MEID click calculate and a table will come out to the right it says MetroPCS msl code try entering that as your password.

JD
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mangordi89:
Hey bro I tried changing the MNC to 027 but it erases the APN. It seems that the only one that works on mine is the stock 120. I got the msl off of whiterabbit, let's see how it goes. Lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
Okay, Leave it on 120 it shouldn't matter.. The MSL should fix the MMS :D

Dallas 3G Solution?

Hey Everyone,

Could this be the moment all the Dallas users have been waiting for?

I may have the 3G Solution, I just realized this taking to other users on the thread like (antonio794) maybe the problem is your Network Type settings.

So try this if your in Dallas, and have not gotten 3G yet:

1.Using DFS go to the Data Tab.

2.Look at the Mode box and change them to the following settings:

HDR SCP force AT config: Rev_0 Only

HDR SCP force release 0 config: Evdo_Rev0

Well guys try this out and give me feedback, Hopefully this is it! :D
