I am having the same issue. I can only add major cities but not smaller ones like Pleasanton, CA. If I'm in Pleasanton, it will show up fine but I can't add it as a city to my list.

Anyone know how to fix this?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mrspaghetti:
I just successfully rooted my (non-Fender) MyTouch using the howto at the unlockr website. The whole point of it was so I could use a tethering app like Barnacle, but I am finding that my laptop cannot seem to use the connection it provides, even though it sees it and appears to connect.

Further, my phone is now extremely flaky and is unable to fully sync my Google account (contacts are blank and won't sync at all). It often reboots itself for no apparent reason. I am regretting screwing around with it at this point.

Can anyone recommend a ROM to install that is stable and will give me all the functionality I had before I rooted, plus will work well for Barnacle or another good wifi tethering app? And I still don't see exactly where on this site I go to actually download ROMs.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] crypysmoker:
Do you have a 32a or 32b board? do you have your sd card with 3 partitions Fat/ext2-3-4/swap?

What recovery did you flash? newest Amen ra 1.70?

What radio and SPL do you have.

We have to know these in order to choose a rom. But there are many good ones, just sounds liek you found a crappy one or one not made for your phone
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mrspaghetti:
Improved things with latest cyanogen ROM

Ok, so after my first post I managed to flash my phone with the latest cyanogen ROM. Now the flakiness has gone away and I have back all the stability of my former phone, plus actually a couple things I like better than before.

Alas, Barnacle still does not work properly. It starts and runs fine right up until my laptop or iPad actually tries to connect with it, then I get the message that "process stopped unexpectedly".

Thanks for your response. I will try to find the right place to post my tethering problem to see if someone can help me with it.

[EVO 4G General] Jus10o:
Someone that has root and can nandroid willing to try this method?

You would have to do all of this in recovery mod so you have rw permissions.

Though you dont need nandroid, because disabling returns all stock files back to the phone. Its just safer.

This is for people that want 2.1 or a completely working rom with JIT enabled (since 2.2 is still in development). Hoping someone that switched from the cdma hero tries this that has done it before. Read through the post. HTC SENSE will not work with JIT.

Instead of "adb remount" if not working, use this....

adb shell

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

I'll try this as soon as my phone shows up. Unfortunately Sprint didn't mail my phone out until today (I ordered at 9pm on Thursday night), so I won't see it until Monday.
[EVO 4G General] Jus10o:
Awesome.. I remember you doing it fairly easy when others were having problems.

I wish i was receiving an Evo. My best friend got one though and he lives down the street. So you know for sure ima be messin with his phone a lot. I would try this on his phone but i wont see him till tomorrow. So i might do it before you still.
[EVO 4G General] danknee:
Cool, I'll probably root, slap helix on, try the overclock from another post, get jit going and then start benchmarking. If you get to your buddy's Evo, post your results!
[EVO 4G General] Jus10o:
Will do.. I see this way of JIT not being around for much longer. The 2.2 update will wipe it out of existence. But if this works its something to play with until then.
[EVO 4G General] ffolkes:
i got jit to work, at the price of removing the HTC keyboard, and lockscreen. just for fun of course. got up to 9.915. can't wait until devs like toast and darch get this oc'd AND get jit working!
[EVO 4G General] Jus10o:
Awesome to see someone try it. Some people might use this until the source of 2.2 is released (since it has the official JIT).

I personally didnt like using sense, so this was something i always did when using a htc rom.

Also i never thought of the keyboard being a problem, iv never used a the stock keyboard other then for setting my phone up when first installing a rom.
[EVO 4G General] timothydonohue:
JIT enabling should do a lot better than getting you up to 9mflops. the nexus uses the same processor, and with 2.2 and JIT it throws out 36-44 mflops
[EVO 4G General] chuckhriczko:
Yeah but remember this is not the same JIT as in 2.2. And in 2.1 it is VERY unstable. On my Hero it would randomly reboot multiple times a day. Maybe 5-10. And it's not nearly as fast as 2.2's JIT.
[G1 General] jeffrimerman:
I'm going to guess it is with a hard reset, but I don't want to mess with all the apps I downloaded. I was able to delete all my contacts so it is fine, but I'm thinking it might automatically sync up with my gmail and download my contacts or erase my contacts online after I sell the phone. What are my options?

or maybe I can set it to a different gmail, but how do I do that? Or maybe it is really simple, just change the password on my gmail account, that should work right?

Ok, changing my password worked, but now it seems to be stuck on asking for my password, but not giving the next person the option to change accounts, or how can I manually change it to a different gmail?
[G1 General] traumatism:
if you want to remove your details before selling the phone, try a factory reset. or you can go into the google app data in the applications management and clear the data there.
[G1 General] jeffrimerman:
Yeah, I was able to clear all data, but was just concerned the phone would have my gmail password and access my data again so changing the password worked. It just got stuck asking for my password when I pretended to want to add phone number by syncing. I'm rebooting now too see what it asks for now.

But I guess there is no way to connect it to another gmail account without doing a factory reset? Doesn't a factory reset eliminate all the programs I installed that are non market? I can reinstall, but if I sell it to a noob they might have a problem.
[G1 General] mejorguille:
Are you rooted? If so, there should be a setting in the development app to unsync with google. (I might be wrong though, deleted the app, lol).
[G1 General] ben_duder:
AFAIK, that's a deliberate feature so that you can't pay for an app on one account and sign in with it on multiple phones, then unsync and keep the apps (thereby stopping people from getting apps from their friends for free).
[G1 General] r3s-rt:
Dude wtf? Just do a hard reset and it will ask you to log back into google. As long as you DON'T log back in, what on earth makes you think it's going to sync your contacts back up?
[G1 General] jeffrimerman:
WTF r3s-rt!! wanna make something out of it, hehe jk. I guess you weren't reading the posts. It was already taken care of with changing my password in the edit. Also, I'm guessing you're a noob and don't realize a hard reset will put it into it's factory settings and I specifically said when selling it, I didn't want to give them a phone with nothing on it. It's all set up with wifi tether and a bunch of other cool things. I'll let the new buy purchase and decide what they want to do. Also, yes if just deleting all the info and not changing my password, but leaving it linked to my google it would indeed sync to my gmail if the new user so chose. I killed to birds by simply changing my gmail password. Of course it wouldn't sync after doing a hard reset, wtf!! geez
[G1 General] ultma75:
Most Rom's let you skip the signing google part, but it wont let you download anything from the market so you can install via adb

Will the new user not therefore be able to use their own Gmail without losing the apps you installed?

[HD2 General] t6waver:
Anyone know how to uninstall apps that came with the hd2? for example transformers & telenav? I do not see them under settings and applications.:confused:
[HD2 General] ephestione:
afaik transformers is just a video file on the sd that can be deleted. Regarding stock apps installed to internal memory, you cannot really "uninstall" them, you can at least try to manually delete their files, yet the cleanest solution is always to flash a custom bare rom, but only if you feel up to the task :)
[HD2 General] Meromorph:
Some of them have an 'update' option. If you use it, the updated version will appear in the 'Remove Applications' list and you can remove that. The old 'built in' app will no loger appear (but it's still cooked into the ROM)
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
Just remove them forcefully from Device\Programe Files.
[HD2 General] Elemental_Fire:
That could cause problems, and he might delete the wrong files by accident. I'd suggest installing a clean rom to your device, as it will only have the basic "essentials" for your device! :)
[HD2 General] Paten:
If I delete the MobiTV folder from the Program Files folder, how could it cause problems? What else would be using those files? If you just stick to deleting the folder for the program you want to delete, I don't see how there can be any problems. I deleted four different apps on my phone using this method as well as deleting the associated shortcuts in the Start Menu folder and haven't experienced any problems whatsoever.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Tenny:
So basically you are forcing the phone to roam?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Techknowfile:
No, to get an accurate speed run the 1MB test at the bottom, once that is done you will have a 2MB option.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jasecloud4:
Ummm...hate to burst any bubbles, but mobilespeedtest.com is horribly innacurate.

It's a lot more accurate and would definitely back up what your claiming.

[EVO 4G Android Development] justinisyoung:

[EVO 4G Android Development] Techknowfile:
You and I must have vastly different definitions of 'free'.
[EVO 4G Android Development] justinisyoung:
well i guess its just that where i live, i'm hardly ever on roaming so it seems free to me :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] Techknowfile:
I haven't roamed for more than a minute in the past year of using this method.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ruskiyab:
Thank you for this trick. Sprint is averaging around 400kbps at my apartment while verizon is doing around 1200. I'll have to test this in some other areas.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ruskiyab:
try menu>settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>Data roaming sound

so let me get this straight, by doing this, you're essentially putting your phone on the verizon network... so what's to prevent one from just using a verizon PRL? Try dialing a number without an area code, you get a verizon message stating that an area code is needed, same thing that would happen when I'm roaming on verizon's network. Might wanna be careful with your minutes since I believe sprint only allows you to use half of your minutes for roaming... not sure how that would work with any mobile though.

Also note that if you use an Airave, your calls will not be routed through it

[EVO 4G Android Development] mthomas456:
The PRL Krynj recommended works better than the one in the initial post for me. With the 40060.prl file it would constantly loose the 3G data connection. However that one was a little sketchy at first as well, kept dropping the 3G but after a restart and waiting a few minutes it was solid all day and night. I also had tried toggling the "always on data" back on before I had changed PRLs (I had it off to attempt to save battery). I think that this was an important change, because when I activate 4G or restart the phone it seems to take awhile before the connection is solid and doesn't go in and out.

When you guys do this on your phone does it display the 3G logo or 1x?

On the first PRL (the one in the OP) it doesn't work at all. I get registartion error 67 and it won't let me connect to the Internet at all via my phone (meaning I have to use Wi-Fi to connect). When I dial *2 it says something about the number no longer being valid.

I then found the other thread that mentioned 41003.prl. Downloaded that one and did the update and it works to get me on the network however it only shows a 1x bar (which is exactly what I have with Sprint) however it shows the roaming indiactor whereas the first one (above) did not.

Might just be the area I'm in; how do I know if Verizon has 3G in my area?

I have tried all of the prls in the thread. Verizon has a tower very close to my house but I still get speeds around 22 kb/s. Came from vzw to Sprint and I know I should get better speeds than that. That's with 4 out of 6 bars on my phone.

So it doesn't look like these will help me in my area. For all who are interested (I'm in 86403).

Now the problem that I have is I can't get back to the regular Sprint PRL. The OP says to just do the regular PRL, since I'm not connected to the Sprint network (because I can't login with the one PRL and the other I'm roaming) it doesn't let me update says it can't connect the network.

Anyone on a Sense based ROM, if on one of these PRL's does you roaming indicator stay on or not?

Also when you do *2, does it still bring you to the Sprint menus? Or VZ?

Mine still shows all the stock stuff, but I can see my bars go up in areas where they didnt before and 3g slightly better sometimes, but not the normal 2+mb speeds VZ has out here

Also will running these PRLs kill the abilitly to connect to 4g?

Questions:

Does the 00001 prl force to Verizon all the time or only when forcing roam with RC?

Is there a solution to get full 3g speeds on Verizon when roaming but be on sprint the rest of the time?

I have weak sprint signal at work, but obviously forcing roam caps my speeds at 100k or so. Because my phone jumps to roam automatically at work sometimes, I have little reservation about forcing roam if i can get full speeds. Just would like to be able to choose when I'm roaming.

thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] KB112:
Running these PRLs puts your phone on the Vzw network. So technically you are "roaming" the entire time, but the phone doesn't know it. It thinks you're on a sprint PRL. Data speed isn't limited.

If you use Roam Controlwith these PRLs, you are forcing the phone onto a Sprint tower I believe.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hdad2:
Hmm, interesting. Thanks. So if that's true, you can still pick your network but it's backwards.

For those of you who have been dropped by Sprint for excessive roaming: Did they cancel your entire account or just the line(s) that were roaming excessively? Also, did they allow you to retain your number?
