I live by Brickell. To be more exact by Brickell HONDA. I have done speedtest in Little Havana, Brickell and NW 7 av. around 30 st. by the 95. I get 3g icon but speeds are terrible.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
Hey pifive,

I'm pretty sure they'll fix that. The same thing happened to me, it got extremely slow for like 3 weeks, and it would take forever to connect. Then out of no were like 2 days ago it got fast again.

I would put this in Bloody's thread in dev forum but I don't have enough posts to post there yet :rolleyes:...but I flashed RunnyBliss B8 last night to try it out and got mms to work fairly well. I used a combo of MetrOFF 1.2 for AOSP gingerbread and GOsms pro. I also installed apn manager and put in the settings listed in this thread. The GO app has a setting to disable the notifications of the stock app so the FC when trying to change settings of the stock app can be delt with that way. This is sending a regular MMS with GOsms...not its proprietary message thing that sends a link.

An additional benefit of this rom is that because of the port, it seems to be able to send with WiFi enabled(turns mobile network back on like AOSP roms do). :cool:

Antonio...I'm a bit confused...are you saying these settings get 3g to work on your evo?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mteezey:
ok so heres my problem. As i suspected the f'd up store i had add my esn to metro used a dummy esn. And mya guess is whatever the phone they used is not capable of 3g speeds. Ive been getting so fustrated knowing there is 3g everywhere by me and i cant get it. So i just went to checkesn free entered my meid hex the results returned like normal giving me my meid dec and below it said your esn is clean for activation. so i did the esn converter and the results that came back for my esn hex are different from the one that my phone shows in qpst. So on to my question if i do a factory data reset will the meid's go back to what they are suppsed to be??? No worried about losing my flash ill pay to get it added again so i can have 3g.please help lol I WANT 3G!!!! : )
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pifive:
Something amazing has happened ! Ive got full 3g now at home and surroundings.

I tried PRL 3026 but yesterday morning ive had this yellow triangle on my bars. So I decided to go back to PRL 3022 which has been the best so far for my area and phone at least and guess what? today I woke up and full 3g ! :D

Speedtest.net gave me 1580 kbps for download and 450 upload.

Only thing is that still I cant watch Youtube videos :eek:

My bet is that if you dont have 3g yet .. just be patient and wait.. they must be updating towers and stuff so your time will come.

Ill keep posted if any changes or updates.

Oh I forgot my area is Miami, South Miami, Brickell and Downtown Good luck guys!

---------- Post added at 06:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 AM ----------

Did you ever get this resolved? I am assuming if you do reset it back to factory/Sprint settings then yes, it should go back to the right information. As for losing the flash it wont happen because I've reset mine to factory and then added everything back in QPST/CDMA/ If anything they would actually have to change it on metropcs end.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mteezey:
Yea none of the restores change any of that info. I'm f'd as far as 3 g goes nine of the programs will let me write that info either. My only option i think is go back to where i had it flashed and have em do it again. Or by the newest workshop or sell this evo . Buy another and start over but get it flashed somewhere that wont repair what they did in this case.

Well just had the 3d flashed and still no 3g. Metro is not able to add the esn from sprint my buddy tried forcing it but it would not allow it. The stores in mi must do something different that won't allow us to get evdo. I got 1x data and mms but still won't get 3g oh well maybe one day it the system will change and those of us that can't connect will be able to. So unless you have the program that will allow you to change esn yourself instead of what metroflash gives you your gonna be stuck without 3g

I've figured out the only thing that matters to connect to data is having your msl code or text string metropcs in the auth section of your data profile. And the correct nid sid. I have the wrong numbers in mine now and still have data. I even put some other ip adresses for prim and second none of this to any avail but just figured id put it out there for those messing with it that its pretty hard to screw it up. Not saying for anyone to try ifbyou don't know what your doing or old settings were.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD2589:
Hey mteezey,

I'd say your on the right track,

The main settings for getting 3G is having the latest PRL, correct usernames and msl codes, and settings your HDR SCP force release 0 config setting to EVDO_RevA.

Also another important thing which may help you guys is having the correct IMSI because some users have their phone numbers but others have a different number, you can call metro by dialing 611 and asking them what the IMSI on your account is.
