I noticed somewhere in the thread someone recommended downloading an app to put the phone is test mode on cm7. If you want to save yourself the trouble you can force evdo on cm7 by dialing *#*#4636#*#*

That will work on both the ascend and evo on cm7
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
Yeah,

Dialing *#*#INFO#*#* works on ASOP roms but does not work on most or almost all sense roms. That's why I posted a manual way of doing it.

Thanks for you input.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
Hey everyone,

I have news for you guys!

charlie03, Spoke to MetroPCS and they confirmed to him that MetroPCS users with flashed phones in the Dallas/DFW area should be getting 3G.

I'm pretty sure you guys just need a newer PRL. :D

JD
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mangordi89:
Ft.Worth too? :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
Yes,

Charlie said Dallas/DFW, to be exact.

JD
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mangordi89:
That's awesome! My settings appear to be ready for 3g so I'll just wait for the big day to come.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlie03:
Not only did they say we should be getting 3G speeds but faster since he said Dallas/Ft.Worth was not a capped area for it. BTW guys I got my phone off the digital roaming crap!! it took a lot of bugging JD and lots of patience from his part but it's now reading the PRL once again. So do not be as afraid to jack with your rom and prl. I was swearing off doing anything if I got it working again but I lied..i love tweaking and getting things working better.

So I will be Sending JD a detailed step by step msg on how i got it off digital roaming in case anyone else gets into that trouble. Seriously it will take anyone else 3 minutes to get it working, when it took me 24 hrs =)

Hey

Hi guys dummy me I never set the apns or mms. I did run the mms script but never setup the apn's lol I am a little confused on the apn manager part. I setup the apn for internet in apn manager. After that I installed any cut than created activity than apn's than the shortcut is created on my home screen. I select apn's on the home screen but there is nothing in this list to edit... It says in the guide select MetroPcs .... than edit than chap or pap. I dont see that so I just made a new apn from apn's and add all the stuff from apn manager to it than selected pap or chap will that work I am a little lost on that part I definitely do not want to mess it up... any help will be aprreciated ...

---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

So i kind of have two APN's one is internet one is Metropcs ...... is that what I am suppose to do .... i can swap between both .... im lost lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
I'm sorry, I updated that part in the OP. When you open the APN with anycut if theirs nothing there create a new one and enter the settings shown on OP.

I don't get what you mean, You should only have one APN.

Try keeping the 'MetroPCS' one, Delete the 'internet' one.

JD
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savalasurge:
ok

Ok sorry if im confusing you or maybe its just me. When I download APN manager do I create the APN in there or use anycut than create one in anycut ???? see how I am kind of confused on making two instead of one .....

---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

Either way I think I got it ... Hopefully when I go into work tomorrow I will finally have 3g ....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
Yeah, I get you man, Sorry. Try the one with anycut and see if it works.. I added APN Manager because sometimes the EVO erases the APN on anycut opon a restart. But APN Manager maintains it.

BTW the APN settings are for MMS and really have nothing to do with 3G.

JD
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savalasurge:
Ok i just talked to a guy yesterday he flashes phones and he said if i don't setup apn settings i won't be able to connect on 3g. He also said if my Huawei ascend connects he said copy my exact settings from my Huawei and use them for the evo. He lives in palm harbor and gets fulll 3g all the way to st pete.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savalasurge:
Also a setting in my evo for MSID is a 727 area code phone number is that suppose to stay what it is i have no idea who's number that is....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
Hey savalasurge,

I'm sorry, I don't know why I had thought APN's were only set for MMS, But their actually for 3G connection also.

I really have no idea why your MSID is 727..

Here are some definitions I wanted to share:

-APN:

Access Point Name (APN) identifies an IP Packet Data Network (PDN), that a mobile data user wants to communicate with. In addition to identifying a PDN, an APN may also be used to define the type of service, (e.g. connection to wireless application protocol (WAP) server, multimedia messaging service (MMS)), that is provided by the PDN. APN is used in 3GPP data access networks.

-MSID:

A mobile station ID (MSID) is a number that is associated with the home service provider and the wireless phone number. This is reprogrammed when the userchanges home service providers. It can also be called the mobile identification number (MIN) and is not to be confused with the mobile device number (MDN) in the CDMA world, which is the device's telephone number.

*All you guys out their trying to get your 3G working, make sure to have the correct APN settings set, they seem to be important.

APN settings are in the OP.

JD
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savalasurge:
I don't know if i still have my apn setup right.... So .. Im at work still no 3g...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savalasurge:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:

Do you have a backup of your QPST settings on your computer? That would be perfect.

Nope your not screwed.

If you don't have it saved at home, you can call MetroPCS and ask them. Although it should be yours phone number, I guess your was connected with a different one.

Too bad you don't have 3G in your area who knows maybe with time there will be.

To point you in the right direction as to getting MMS working, Try downloading and flashing one of bloodys MMS scripts for MetroPCS.

Any recommendations on which script to use?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
No problem,

Yes as you have said you've even seen the 3G sign come up. It's just a matter of 3G becoming avaliable in your area or you going to a 3G area.

The MMS script depends on the rom your running.

What rom do you have?

Sorry for my ignorance but rom is MetroDroid 2.2? that would be a rom? :o

JD
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlie03:
I did notice when using my back up in cdma or in qpst that there was a box for 1x in the settings that was unchecked. We might need to look how those screen shots of people getting 3G compares to ones of us not getting it. I also thought about this issue when dealing with my problem the other day. What if when you call metropcs you tell them you have one of their phones as oppose to a metro flashed phone? Do you think then it makes any difference? Due to conflicting answer from their service people. They were having a hell of a time trying to reinstate my phone after I got everything working again.

I've included some screen shots from my speed test. Notice in the 3rd picture there is an initial burst in the upload section, well at times i get anywhere near or above 3G speeds then it drops down as you can see.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savalasurge:
Good idea. Also when i talked to the guy that flashes phones in my area he said the thing about apns that if its not right u won't get 3g. Also he said the prl,s we use may need to be edited just a little bit that they may be off a little??? I don't even know how to edit a prl... Anyway he he told me to try the 3024 prl he gets 3g all over in Clearwater which is not that far away .... Just a little hint i guess...
