yes if u change for cricket it would i believe but if you want to use for cricket the apns.xml would need to be edited for cricket you might be better off decompiling a framework-res.apk for aosp and editing the apns.xml in it and then recompileing then trying to edit the apns.xml in my zip i find it easier to that way myself

if you send me cricket apn settings i would make you a fix you would follow above directions except you would edit build.prop with cricket info not metropcs (ofcourse) other than that same as above i would give correct apns.xml and flashable zip you can pm me if you like

sorry about that its back now
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] mmagi1:
Worked like a charm!

This worked great on my Evo Shift on Metro!!!! I just got this phone and think it was running a stock Sprint ROM. The messaging app was removed after flashing the zip so I installed Handcent and pics are working great! THANKS.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] oakieville:
glad it worked but it shouldnt remove the mms app if it did you must be on 2.2 this was meant for 2.3 if youd like i could send you the mms for 2.2
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] turntablez123:
Ok so will this work with any rom? Or only certain ones? If i use a AOSP rom i assume i dont have to use the apns.xml or ninjamorph correct? I just flash any evo shift aosp rom and flash the zip supplied for aosp and it will fix it right?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] oakieville:
Correct for aosp use the aosp zip for sense use non flashable with apns.xml and ninjamorph
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] turntablez123:
Ok thank you! I appreciate it?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] turntablez123:
Sorry one last question so cyanogenmod would be fine to work with the AOSP zip...correct?

hello there..i just wondering..what type of video format should asus ee padtransformet tf101 can support?because when i play a bluray mkv format video..it laggg too much...i'm using a stock android 3.2.1..anyone can help or may suggest a better player for video? :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisDos:
From what I understand, with the Tegra2 will playback H.264 High Profile in hardware and offloads it to the processor, which as you've noticed can't decode it quickly enough. The I know the Tegra2 will playback H.264 Base 3.0 profile (iPod). I also think it will playback H.264 Main.

The Tegra3 (Kal-El) is the first SoC chip to be able to playback High Profile in hardware.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jepod:
I have a bunch of movies in MP4 (h264) and AVI (dixv) format that work on my transformer. I use MX Video Player to play them because that software is by far the best video playing software i have seen on any tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Damitu:
I also will put in my 2c about the MX Video Player. Well worth the five and change. It plays MKV ripped right to the disc but, sometimes is a little

choppy.

I've been using a pre pre pre Alpha build of VLC Media Player on my Eee Pad and HTC Desire for a while now and haven't had any trouble playing almost any file (mostly .avi ripps of DVD's).

If you want to try it download the VLC-noneon.apk (double check your device /proc/cpuinfo) from the developer here:

MX Video Player and MoboPlayer plays 720p with few (there still is) hiccups on my stock TF. I find Dice to be more laggy.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dburckh:
I'm not sure if it was the latest revolution ROM, or the latest MX Player, but now I can play WTV files streamed from my WMC without issue. Very happy. (OC@1.2Ghz).

The 1080i is ok (deinterlacer needs work), but the 720p stuff looks awesome! Tried 1.4Ghz, did not help.

I still think Dice is the best for MP4/AVC/AAC, but MX Player does a decent job.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Alexia Whitehurst:
Okay so i have been looking around and found that we do have a lot of questions around Wi-Fi tethering being an issue...

- APN change fails after an hour or two

- Aftermarket tethers installed. and run but do not seem to be found by other devices

- Wifirouter.apk push from 1.36 showed no change (Connected but no internet connection)

So, what else have people tried that has things working for them or not working that we can note as a fail...
[HTC Amaze 4G] 2sh0rt:
So far i've tried Barnacle and Wifi Tether ( I had to download from the web since it will not show in the market). Both start fine and say they are sharing wifi but my pc on win 7 will not see them. I can try use either on the vibrant and both work fine, my pic finds them. Any other ideas... I still have 10 days to exchange this phone. I really do not want to go to the SGS2 but if there's no way to tether without paying xtra for something i already get... im afraid i will have no choice....
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
Change apns work make anew one and name it anything and type in epc.tmobile.com

And savethats it
[HTC Amaze 4G] Alexia Whitehurst:
I will try this again after you post quicksense 1.3 update later today... Make sure i am starting fresh with all the pushing i have been doing in attempt to get things working...
[HTC Amaze 4G] 2sh0rt:
Binary said he tried it and it stopped working after 200mb. Is yours still working?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ebocioj:
Accordon they updated the system to catch this. I believe the small update they are pushing out to the amaze has do with this
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
It was roughly that amount. I do not have an exact figure. I was forced to add the service.
[HTC Amaze 4G] 2sh0rt:
Did you get the OTA? I have my OTA disabled so im still stock. Gonna try it and see what happens.

---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

So far soo good, not sure how much data i've used but no notification yet...
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
It works perfect for me
[HTC Amaze 4G] 2sh0rt:
im downloading quicksense 1.2.1 just to see what happens. so far im 50% done with no notifications and its still downloading...
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
i would refresh that page man lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] Digitaldreamer7:
I can't get wifi tether to work on stock at all. I use easytether with no upgrade pages etc. I know it's not wifi, but it works.
[HTC Amaze 4G] 2sh0rt:
That apn method worked. I downloaded the whole quicksense rom with no interruption. Binary, not sure what issue you had but it worked for me fine... hopefully it will continue to work b/c I dont want to give up my Amaze.... it too nice!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Well I don't have an issue and never did. It always worked fine for me. What happened to me is that after a few hours of standard internet usage it started directing me to the upsell page no matter how many times I changed the APN or rebooted the device. But... perhaps it's market specific. I called T-Mobile b/c they were still throttling me after my new billing cycle and I asked them about it and they said that pretty much everything is market specific. That might explain a lot actually. Like I was telling Alexis, in the market where she is located I would never get throttled despite the fact that T-Mobile sent me a message stating that I was. I would still have a ~4mb/s DL speed on my vibrant 3g device. But here in Detroit I get throttled down to 130kb/s. UGH!
[HTC Amaze 4G] daswahnsinn:
Don't feel bad, Binary 130kb/s is my average. I live in a 2G area with a 4G area ten miles up the road.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
130kb/s makes me feel terrible when I'm accustomed to averaging 15mb/s.

Throttling down that much should be violation of the Eighth Amendment. :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] 2sh0rt:
I thought you said after ~200mb down you got cut off....
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Roughly. I didn't measure it at all but it was standard internet activity. Nothing more. No downloading or anything like that. They sent me a warning at first by pushing a notice to my phone after a few hours saying that I would need to add the service if I wanted to continue using it. The icon was a globe with a "w" on it.

About 5 or 6 hours later I was directed to the upsell page. Despite how many times I rebooted, disconnected, changed my apn, etc I would have be forced to the upsell page. As soon as I added the $15 service I had tethering again. Instantly.
[HTC Amaze 4G] 2sh0rt:
Ok, that is what im trying to figure out... what you did differently. No one else has had that same issue yet that i have heard of.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Alexia Whitehurst:
I flashed 1.3 quicksense today, changed by apn... Went to tether... This time i was able to connect my laptop to my phone, but right off i got the redirect notice...

After talking with binary last night, we got to thinking maybe its kernel based... I am working with boarder on getting the kernel he is running... As its not stock... His APN change fixed his tether completely, maybe the redirect bs is kernel based...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
I was thinking more about it last night afterwards... could it be possible that T-Mobile is using a new DNS? To find out all we should need to do is put the SIM card into another device (like a Vibrant 3G, MyTouch 3G, G1, etc) and use the data. If it does not go to the redirect page then do an ipconfig /all and copy the DNS from there. Then try the same except with the Amaze 4G. If the DNS is different then it may be as simple as hard coding the DNS in the devices with the old address. Thoughts?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ws6nightcat:
They have to have some way of determining your using tether, my hd2 is on the same plan and wifi tethering works fine im gonna switch my sim from my amaze which is immediatly going to the upsell page and ill update in a few mins

[Q] amaze hotspot/tether post root

Hi, new guy here, and I just wanted to start off with a heartfelt thanks to this community. I purchased my Amaze last night and spent all night rooting/flashing/bootloading etc. I'm pretty new to to altering phones but I've been a computer geek for many years. Being new to the forums I can't post in the proper section where this would belong so I'm putting it in the closest place I can.

Ok. I successfully bootloaded via HTC dev method, I ended up getting permaroot, and finally I have loaded up quicksense (latest one). I still cannot use the tethering as well as the hotspot features although they DO connect a device (my laptop). In hotspot mode the connection simply remains broken (when troubleshooted) and in USB tether it kind of locks my laptop up in the sense that I cannot access my networking options/features.

I know that this is a work in progress and I am patient. I just thought it be important to bring it up to xboarder's and whoever else's attention.

I've been reading these forums for over a year now and am very thankful for what they have turned me into! (phone geek!)

Edit to add: soon as I turned off the hotspot I got a reboot. :(

In any case.. carry on!

LATEST EDIT:

This is my most current screen shot. Does it differ at all from those of you who haven't updated?

Reading the new posts of success I fear that my bad judgement in updating from HTC is somehow causing my lack of success.. It would
[HTC Amaze 4G] GSMachinst:
Try it and get back to us?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ws6nightcat:
Everything works great with the amaze sim in my hd2 and g2 so its not a sim or network restriction. Has anyone checked the apk to see if its simply built into the wifi tethering app to check your account for the feature being active?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
I moved your new thread to this existing thread.

I'm sure you don't mind. I just don't want to have multiple threads for the same thing. I'm going to add some tags to make searching for this topic easier.

Ohhhh. :(

I would have to dig out my Vibrant (storage).

It'll be faster and easier for someone else since I won't have a chance until next week sometime when I get a chance.

That could be the case however that would mean that removing the app would (or should) fix the problem. It's been tried and busted. However you can try using apktool or something to decompile it and take a look if you have some time to spare. Although I have web access from a computer all night, sadly it's not my computer. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] ws6nightcat:
Ill be back online in about 14 hours, leave some posts on what information you guys need off of my working wifi tethering device, its obviously not a matter of just apn settings at this point so i would assume the problem is either kernel, network setting, or app based. Are the wifi tether apks device specific? Im gonna use abd and push the apk from my g2 and see what i get if its not.

Just an fyi i have a second amaze and both can be exchanged on site if i brick one so lets get this thread rolling forward guys i dont mind taking a few risks
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Two Amaze's? Show off! :D

Must be nice but I hardly doubt that you'll brick your device playing with the wifi tether. Even if you flash a bad boot.img (kernel) you can always flash a good one back (all by fastboot).

Some apk's might be device specific. I know that this wifi tether app used to be device specific however I think it's universal now. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I hope we can get this solid b/c I hate paying the extra $15. I mean... that's like 20% more on my bill for nothing. :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] 2sh0rt:
I tried that app and barnacle. Both say they are working properly but when I refresh my pc or tablet, neither comes up in the wifi list. I played with each for an hour, changing settings, rebooting, turning off and on... Neither worked. I'd be willing to bet it something in the dns too, i just dont know where to go in the phone to play with it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] superrskillz:
creating a new apn

and setting it to

epc.tmobile.com

running stock rooted.

worked for me, downloaded the quicksense 1.3 rom.

i'd like to say that i do have an update in the status bar since about 2 weeks ago for "htc security" or something along those words.

i'm afraid to update and then i won't be able to tether anymore..
[HTC Amaze 4G] 2sh0rt:
You can turn OTA Updates off in the settings menu.... That's what I did. Never got the update notice
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
All of those apps use ad-hoc so you need to make sure your OS supports it. Bad example would be Windows 7 starter.
[HTC Amaze 4G] 2sh0rt:
Win 7 home premium... same as what I had when I used them on my vibrant. Never had issues using the Vibrant. Nothing changed on the pc at all.... its definately something in the phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ws6nightcat:
Same here, nothing other than the built in wifi calling app shows available on any other device, are they not activating the phones wifi chip and just showing active? Is there a way to get a log cat of the oem wifi tethering vs any of the other tethering apps we have available? Binary x someone give me somthing to work with, im new to android deving im plenty familiar with winmo which wont help here.

Im signing off till tomorrow am, its late here, please shoot me some basic info for setting it up and if i need a modified kernel to run it i would appreciate your input x, thank you in advance, ill be back on in roughly 9 or 10 hours, hope to help then
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
all my modifed kernel does is let me do logcats and adb remounts and a few other settings like defualt su permissions.

ps: you need anything shoot me a pm :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
We should look into OC and UV. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] ws6nightcat:
We cant do much for oc and uv until htc releases the source code

x im gonna take your offer and continue this via pm so we dont clutter up your thread.
[HTC Amaze 4G] 338lm:
according to this: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=1189&q=amaze

The Amaze has a new Wi-Fi chip made by Texas Instruments. Most of these 3rd party wifi tethering apps don't get updated very often. (Barnacle hasn't been updated since January!) Until the developers of the apps incorporate the new chips in to their apps, they probably won't work.

The Amaze WiFi chip is pretty advanced compared to my other phones and devices. it can connect to my router's N network on the 5 GHz band. (it's one of two, out of a dozen devices that can even see the 5 GHz band)

I think the 3rd party apps are going to be a dead end until they get updated to work with the new WiFi hardware in our phones.

Using this method, my Hotspot tethering is still working:

However, I remember reading that Binary is on an unlimited Loyalty rate plan. I'm not on the same plan as him, I'm on an old grandfathered rate plan, so maybe something in the system triggered that took him to the upsell page after a certain amout of use. I'm just suggesting that there are things happening on T-Mobile's side that we're obviously not aware of, and this method is just another loophole that's likely to get closed eventually.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nidjol:
Have you rooted guys tried using Titanium Backup to freeze the tether manager to allow free access? It worked on my Samsung Galaxy S2!
[HTC Amaze 4G] 2sh0rt:
Tethering Manager does not exist on the Amaze... its a gs2 only thing. That was the first thing I tried ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] gozilar84:
Thanks for this guide..so far i am using the old simcard with this mod, it seem working. but i duno will it be losing as some others said for certain amount tethering...:confused:

Hotspot

Any update on this? Everyone is still able to use the "change" suggested in this post about epc.tmo or whatever to get Hotspot working?

I'm picking up the phone tomorrow along with my sister during the sale so just wanted to see if there was an update about the Hotspot or if anyone had run into any trouble like if they changed it with an update or something.

Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gaww:
If you wipe/flash carefully, i do not think you will have issues here - mine has worked on all the different ROM's except a vew releases where ther were know issues that were later fixed.

Good luck - you will be in good hands here with xBoarder.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
I have seen other posts that said 200Mb. Can't say for sure as I just got mine and only tethered once to test it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
Thanks for updating guys.

Either way I'm set on getting the phone but just thought I'd try and keep up with some known issues while I wait.

Awesome to see everyone helping each other out here.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
i've only tried this on quiksense 1.4.1, but it's working.

On a fresh install, before trying to wifi tether or calling. Add the new apn first.

I'm not sure if the name matters, but i just called mine Data, save, and select it.

now you can enable wifi hotspot.

if anyone else can test this to see if it works that'll be great. i've been using my tethering for about 1.5 gbs so far... and im actually using it right now lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
Free teather fixed in New Rom just flash you good to go :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:

Stock APN

Hey guys I just picked up my Amaze today with the one day sale

went to the APN settings and noticed the default one was already

"epc.tmobile.com"

Anyway proceeded to set up a new "epc.tmobile.com"

and I can't get the wifi to work.

So...do I need to root first here, or what's going on?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
Are you talking about the sale where you pay $450 for the phone still??

anyways APN has nothing to do with wifi, unless you mean wifi tethering... you can give more details into what you're doing that doesn't make it work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
Yeah 450. And yes I meant wifi hotspot. Sorry.

I was following the guide on creating a new APN on page 4 of this thread.

Tried that and it didn't work.

Takes me to the wifi/tethering sales page.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
hmm never happened to me, even before i rooted. So you made sure you switched to the apn right, like not just creating it but clicking on it so it has the green circle.

Other than that... im not sure, go root it and flash one of them roms and see what happens.

BTW im curious about that sale. I know the phone is obviously isn't a sale, but is the plans cheaper or something? because usually when you open a new 2 year contract the phone should be roughly 200 vs the $450 you're paying
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
You save 290 per line. So for a 2 line plan you save 580.

Classic Family Plan *unlimited talk/text/2gb high speed data 140 a month

310 (for phone)

- 50 (MIR)

----------

260 (paid for phone)

70*24 months (per line) = 1680

1680 + 260 = 1940 (per line)

Value Family Plan *unlimited talk/text/2gb high speed data 100 a month

200 (for phone)

- 150 (MIR)

------

50 (paid for phone)

20*20 months (extra for phone) = 400

50*24 months (per line) = 1200

1200 + 400 + 50 = 1650 per line

You save 290 over a period of two years.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
ah i see, I think tmobile upped their plans recently. I think im on the family plan with 5gb data not unlimited talk though (don't need it) for $119. And i buy the amaze off CL (got mine for $360), BNIB are going for about $420. But yeah that's a good value plan though. I'm just thinking that they'll probably adapt to that plan, and then probably just knock the phones down to $200 when you sign a new contract like they always do.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
Yeah the phone is still new so they're gonna make as much as they can off of it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rasstar:
I got this phone today during the sale. First time on T-Mobile coming from Sprint. The service is awesome so far. I did the renaming thing on the 4th page and it worked. The tethering is working but how safe is this to use? Either way I am not big on tethering.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
Seriously? Cause it's not working on mine. And I followed the directions exactly.

I can't figure out what's going on. You're not getting redirected at all?
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
I just renamed mine and it works. But i find that it switches back to the T-Mobile apn after restart. Before tether i have to manually switch it back.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
I got mine to work but after a bit it redirects me.

This really sucks. I never had this problem on the mytouch 4G.

*I figured it out. WOOT! So far, so good.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
Have you tried deleting the two original apns? You can always restore them but they're not needed
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
Yeah that's exactly what I did to fix the problem.

I had originally left the original apn and it kept switching back to it

after a few minutes. Anyway I deleted it and now it's not redirecting me anymore.

Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rasstar:
Deleting them cause mms to fail .
[HTC Amaze 4G] flexte:
what i don't get is why tethering is free on prepaid on not on contract plans. called to ask them to add it to m prepaid account and they said no need its there and free. works great too bad they don't have a 10gb plan and i cant use Gv voicemail or i would keep this plan.
