Hey guys, does anyone in here knows how to put the Samsung Code into Diag Mode so I can read its settings on 3G...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mteezey:
I dont really understand the apns either. All in know is that mcc is the country code and mnc is network code. as far as how they are used is what gets me. For the most part it seems they are not even active even if you use apn manager or those apps. I was told by someone not to use those apps and just modify the apns in the telephony db. but i went through every file and folder in my phone and could not find the apns anywhere. Some roms have a apnconf.xml that can be changed. Also there is a mccmnc.xml file that you would think would need to be set to metros codes but even stock metro phones like the wildfire have the same codes sprint does. Im trying to learn more about how the emulater talks to the radio in order to figure this whole connection thing out. But im still a long ways from that. lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mexigga:

Ok so here's another question for 3getters. For primary ha adress and sec are you using 255.255.255.255 or 0.0.0.0? Just curious cause I was using zeros the day I did get 3g but now I don't know what to use. I know 255.=not set and 0.0=dynamic at this point I've tries so many combos of settings I don't know what to use anymore.

IMO metros service cant do anything but get better. Since there 3g really isnt 3g right now and there 4g is basically 3g speeds. Its gonna be some time but eventually metro will have awesome service(where they have coverage). When i look back now and see how far they came its pretty amazing. When i first got metro service in 2004 if i drove like 5 miles west of my house i wouldnt even get service. And even in the metro area service was choppy. Now i can can go anywhere and never lose service . For example i recently drove from detroit to nashville and never lost service once even when i was in the mountains in tenn. Im being very patient myself waiting for the 3g to get good enough for me to even connect. Well at this point i gotta get my phone working again i been in a htc bootloop since yesterday morining and nothing will boot. fml. JMT
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightzun:
That is somewhat true. It all depends on where you are meaning how close you are to any sprint towers and what time of the day it is. Me being on boost aka sprint(and using a sprint PRL btw) usually get about 95% of the time 3g coverage everywhere that I have traveled to. Now, are they truly 3g speeds, not all of them BUT are significantly faster than 1x.

I think Metro will expand, BUT as they have always said, the future is 4G for them. I dont believe they will keep investing in anymore 3g coverage. Not at least anytime soon. I actually believe Cricket will expand their 3g coverage faster than metro and hoping they do, even though they are sharing towers, they will probably be less saturated compared to boost/sprint and metro. That will result in faster 3g speeds.
