xbox: I think what Synthaxx is getting at is I don't really see anything that your solution provides that wasn't already accomplished with earlier solutions (including his). As a matter of fact, with earlier solutions EVERYTHING but MMS works...so I don't really think there was a need for another partially working solution...unless it was just an attempt to get MMS working. I'm also not sure why you keep mentioning "works on 1x"...most folks are on EvDO 3G and only rarely revert to 1xRTT speeds. If market apps work over Metro or Cricket 3G...they should work completely (not just browsing the apps). That tells me that something in your configuration is not right...especially since you are using token419's flash solution.

I'm not saying we don't appreciate your contributions....it's just that this may well be confusing to folks to read these posts going forward and try to decipher which solution is the best/easiest and provides the closest thing to 100% functionality. Like Synthaxx mentioned, EVERYTHING working means everything...including market apps (browse and install) over 3G...with the exception of MMS which we all know has been a problem.

Btw...I upgraded to netarchy's rooted 2.2 Froyo last night and all I can say is WOW. It is MUCH faster and everything works just as well as it did in 2.1 over my Cricket connection (barring MMS of course). I'm simply not willing to run a sub-standard or partially working ROM with issues just to get MMS working.

[EVO 4G Android Development] xboxhacker:
Most of metros network is 1x, only a few areas have EVDO. I AM in a 1x area. This might be the problem with the market and voice search not working. So to make you guys happy, i will fly to dallas, where i know its EVDO, and try my phone, then fly back to south FL. And we will see if it works....

Are you on metroPCS... is Synthaxx? If not, how do you even know it works at all? The day Synthaxx wrote his post on autostart and u2nl and APNs, i tried it.... it didnt work at all. Then i found Token419's metro flash. IT WORKS FANTASTICALLY! And dont start... "you didnt do something right then..."

I dont think i am confusing anyone here, if they read the

FIRST POST

, its all spelled out for them on what works and does not work. I never said everything was working. Thats Synthaxx's word... but it has to be finished with "except mms"....but then its not TRULY everything...is it? ;)

If they want MMS, this is it! THATS ALL.

As for the ROM, i have a custom cooked rom of my own, that has been running for a few days now, and it is SWEET. I am going to tweek it a little more, then i might post it here.

[EVO 4G Android Development] token419:
as an update i have been digging into a sprint port for eris, and im having the same issue, and looks like everyone in my thread who does not have MMS working is on Sprint based roms. Im still digging but im having the same errors as you all, "Sending Address Unresolved" when i flash a sprint ported rom (have flashed 2 ported roms so far, both with the error).

From what i can tell this means:

So the messages are most likely being sent to sprint's servers still.

my flash has the telephony.db file correct, and i can see it showing in logcat, but we get an almost immediate failure, so something is still pointing to sprint's servers.

I have unpacked, edited, repacked /system/framework/framework-res.apk and changed the apns.xml file in there to show cricket's mmsc instead of sprint, but i still get the same error.

I did find afterthe changes if i deleted the telephony.db file, the next time the phone reboots it gets recreated now with the correct mmsc.

from what i can tell the /system/etc/apns-conf.xml file is useless, it doesnt appear to be used on sprint/verizon roms, but is where the telephony.db gets built from on AOSP from what i can tell.

Not sure where else to look to find out where sprint has settings pointing to the MMS at. (have unpacked the Mms.apk, it doesnt appear to have any settings specific to sprint)

From what i can say tho, this appears to affect ALL ANDROID Devices with Sprint roms.

Someone pointed out to try mmszap, it supposedly fixes it in some roms, im also going to test handcent to see if i can work around it using handcent until i can find the offending files and find a way to correct them universally.

Just letting you all know i havent given up :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] xboxhacker:
Thank you token!!

I have tried MMSzap in the past, it didnt work, it just showed me what was already the settings, and they were right.
[EVO 4G Android Development] theboundless:
Thanks xboxhacker for the link to token's flashable zip! I'll make sure to thank him, too. I've been using the droid eris terminal command method to modify the autostart.sh and u2nl, and its worked so far even on froyo on metropcs. I've tried synthaxx's method a few times and could never get it to work at all. But with token's flash, no more terminal commands!

Confirmed working on baked snack 1.2.5 and metropcs in the los angeles area.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xboxhacker:
No problem. :)

Are you in a EVDO area for metroPCS?
[EVO 4G Android Development] theboundless:
Unfortunately I'm only in a 1x area, but its good enough for surfing and streaming pandora, which I do for hours a day :) Here's the specifics of my testing on froyo roms:

1. Baked Snack 1.2.5. - Token flash works before and after titanium restore

2. Fresh 3.1.0.1 - Token flash only works BEFORE titanium restore, doesn't work after

3. Burnt Droid 1.0 - Works before and after titanium restore

So yeah, I'm not sure what's going on with Fresh, but it seems to be the exception. This patch makes it so easy for me to switch and try out new roms, just flash tolken's zip and do a titanium restore and I'm good to go!

When you say 'works' you mean everything works? Including mms?

MMS on METROPCS EVO

HELLO XBOXHACKER,

I need help with getting MMS on my HTC EVO flashed to metropcs.

I have everything working on the SUPERSONIC ROM but not MMS. I receive them but cannot download and view or send out MMS. I get the UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD or TRANSIENT FAILURE. I tried the Froyo 2.2 and got everything working INCLUDING MMS but dont like that ROM ( most of the apps dont work right on it even though it looks more like the droid )..... I dont know if it is the Mms.apk file from the froyo or another file that is the problem. I also tried the new Damagecontrol 3.5 Final rom ( Froyo based ) and wasn't able to get the MMS to work neither.

I need any help at all to get my MMS working..
[EVO 4G Android Development] xboxhacker:
The Mms.apk is in the OP....

[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
hi.

i found your guide on google but it was missing some of the information found on here. when i first tried following the guide i ended up flashing to V5 of AVA Froyo and everything worked except MMS and email.

now i find this thread while looking for solutions to the MMS problem and decide to start from scratch.

so i went word by word using this guide, going back to V2RC3 and doing everything this guide says to do.

now email still doesnt work, and i can send MMS but not receive it...

is there going to be a real solution to these issues? or should I go to the latest AVA rom and just forget about MMS? how come I can't seem to receive/send emails without wifi?

any suggestions welcome...

by the way it's a sprint phone (HTC Evo) on MetroPCS...
[EVO 4G Android Development] xboxhacker:
I have updated the OP, follow the guide you and should have working MMS.

I would suggest not using a ROM with altered framework... like AVA or Fresh...
[EVO 4G Android Development] louforgiveno:
BTW the NEW voice search works for me on metro network!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] xboxhacker:
Thank you Lou!!

It works great!
[EVO 4G Android Development] louforgiveno:
Ur welcome, thanx back to ya ! As often as i accidently hit that damn search button, it's nice that it'll actually do voice search now (w/o wifi) !
[EVO 4G Android Development] gazla1978:
i saw this add today

http://orlando.craigslist.org/mob/1920145480.html

so i am little confused about this however i migrated back to 2.1 and posted a tutorial from the sources i used. I think within a couple weeks 2.2 dilemma will be resolved.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
Ive seen these ads on craigslist and ebay but they dont say which version theyre on...im interested in seeing it done though...im loving my new evo but still have some issues.

On a side note...after all the drama trying to follow your guide i just said f the mms and went to ava v6....but now apps dont have internet access without wifi (internet browser does). Do you think following your steps for app access will work with the ava rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xboxhacker:
When i got my EVO i called someone in Miami that said the MMS would work, he said it would look like a ASOP type ROM, with no sense, and their were no guaranties....LOL

YES it will, i updated the guide, did you re-read it?

here is a quick overview:

-Program you phone for metroPCS with QPST

-Use ANY rom you want.

-Download Autostart root from market

-Download Token419's metroPCS zip file and flash it to the phone.

-reboot 2 times :)

-Download the Mms.apk from the first post and adb push it to the phone, replacing your original Mms.apk file.

I have tested this method on AVa's v6 ROM and it works fine. I went back to OMJ's ROM....just seems more stable.

I have working right now on my EVO on MetroPCS:

-web

-mms (in and out)

-Voice search

-Nav (but its slow DLing maps)

-gmail

-mail app

-I can browse market, but not download (1X network problem)

-I can download form 3rd party app stores just fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
I'll look into it tonight...should the mms work on ava v6 or everything but?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
just tried it again.

it appears that network apps are working again...i.e. internet browser, weather updates, facebook are working.

still got an error sending an email. it said the account settings were incorrect (but it works on WIFI). the MMS still didnt work. i get the MMS notification on handcent but when i click download it ends up saying message not downloaded...transient failure :-(

i can live without MMS, but would really appreciate EMAIL:(
[EVO 4G Android Development] louforgiveno:
Have you tried setting up the account on 1x instead of wifi. Also I can't find the thread but months ago I saw someone saying they could'nt acces their mail account, and there was some info about resetting the account,and that the problem was an existing account being seen by the mail srver that needed to be removed.

If you find out anything about the second thought please post, right now I have yahoo forwarding to google then using sync service to get mail on my phone...weak!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
The message i'm getting on the top bar says "Unable to send mail. The account setting is incorrect (Hotmail)"

when i click on that it takes me to the account setup...when I put in my information and click next to setup incoming email this is the message i'm getting:

"Your incoming server does not support SSL. Please modify your incoming server's security type."

if i change the security type to "none" i'm getting "Cannot connect to the mail server to verify your account information. Your server is not responding."

if i change the security to "TLS" i get the same message as above...

remember this works just fine on WIFI...
[EVO 4G Android Development] louforgiveno:
Yeah me too, have you set up hotmail for pop3? just saw this

Newsbrief by Todd Haselton on Thursday August 26, 2010.

According to CNET, Microsoft is going to add Exchange Activesync support to Hotmail on Monday, August 30. Exchange offers push support for email, which most smartphones support. There's no word of calendar or contact synchronization support yet, but that could be coming in the future.

other threads i read say you need to forward hotmail to gmail then gmail to phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
hotmail works for pop3 or at least it's worked for me. remember when i turn on WIFI the same account settings that arent working now work just fine.

not to mention prior to moving ot the Evo i had the Samsung Code, and I had perfect push-email with hotmail and metro. i would literally get the messages on my phone sometimes before they showed up on my hotmail inbox!

so both metro and hotmail have the capability of doing it...it's just something wrong with the software code or my settings:(
[EVO 4G Android Development] gazla1978:
Anyone using this guide without problems on Ava's latest Rom V6 ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xboxhacker:
I tried it with AVa v5 and v6, it worked fine. But i felt that the ROM was not as stable as it could have been, so i went back to OMJs ROM, its seems flawless.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
mms dont download using handcent or the oem messages app. when I have wifi on internet browser and skyfire dont work, but work when wifi is off (on metro's network). i can receive email but not send out ("network error")...

that's after following this guide on AVA V6...

i've asked for help solving my issues and nobody has come forward with solutions:(
[EVO 4G Android Development] gazla1978:
What has token been doing lately i remember he was going to write a flash to reroute these.I might be wrong though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] meinstein1987:
With this mwthod do you still need to add the esn to metro inventory ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
I'm pretty sure the answer to that is yes :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] meinstein1987:
How do we do i do that any one know what to ask the metro store to where they understand what i am saying and i guess this queation is more for peiple that have done this and are on metro and use the evo as a metro phone
[EVO 4G Android Development] o0adam0o:
Has anyone heard of a metropcs store flashing the evo for you? How much?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gazla1978:
Ofcourse they do! You gotta go to stores which are NOT "CORPORATE METROPCS STORE"

what I recommend you to do is open metropcs web site and call all the stores except the corporate ones in your radius and ask if they can or did flash HTC HERO previously, if the answer is yes take your EVO to that specific store and make them flash your EVO via their software (Houdini) using HTC HERO procedure.

You will be all set. Remember not all stores actually employees are competent to flash a HTC HERO and that's why they say no or try and say it does not go thru.

;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] meinstein1987:
if i a flash a phone myself do i need them to activate it or will you just pick up this thing no from metro after flashing
[EVO 4G Android Development] meinstein1987:
Or will it automaticly pick up signal and beusable after i flash it to my metro account
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
you are still going to need to call metro. your ESN number must be added to their inventory. when I bought my phone it was already flashed to metro and working on metro under someone else's account. but i still had to call in so they can attach that phone's ESN to my account. since then i've flashed, wiped, reflashed my phone a few times, essentially having to do the programming myself, and it's worked without having to call them...BUT, you need to do the initial call to have the phone's ESN added to your account:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] o0adam0o:
So how is the data speed on MetroPCS? Im cuirious since i might try to get a Cricket or MetroPCS flash on an EVO.

Im currently with Sprint on a TP2
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigdatl:
How did you guys get the voice search to work on the MetroPCS network. I still get the "connection problem". I've downloaded the NEW google voice from the market, but still having issues. Also, my voicemail notification does not work. Any advice? Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xboxhacker:
Make sure you have everything else working as stated in the OP. Then it should work fine.

Try downloading a new "voicemail notifier" from the market, thats what i did.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
but what if, like in my case, everything is NOT working as stated in the OP?:confused: i managed to get email in and out on WIFI, but only comes in on metro's network when it feels like it and haven't managed to get mail out on metro's network. when i delete/read a message it doesnt update it in the server, even though the setting is set to do so.

my internet browser wont work when wifi is on...

voicemail notifications dont work either...

and mms doesnt work, not with standard app nor with handcent...but i could live without mms just fine...

what's going on in my case?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xboxhacker:
Without working data connection voice search will not work....

DO this...back up your current ROM with ROM manager. Then install OMJ's ROM.

HERE:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=698136

Its fast and stable! It is what i am using right now, with everything working except for youtube and market downloads (both are 1X network limited) You will still need to follow the OP for the OMJ ROM.

You can then always restore your back up if you dont like it.

OR....last ditch effort... mail me your phone and i will set it up for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
sounds like you're confident it's going to work with that rom. i'll give it a try today, following the op step by step and then i'll check back with you here:)

EDIT: odexed or deodexed? what's the difference and which one are you using?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gazla1978:
Q: What is Deodexed?

A: In the base ROM, most of the APKs have an associated odex file. Deodexing converts the odex info back into the APK, eliminating the odex file. This is needed to use themes.

Let me know your experience after flashing to OMJ V3.1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
sorry for the many questions but i've had to flash so many different roms already i want to make sure i'm flashing the right one. you said v3.1 but on the thread linked the newest one is v3.0...

if i dont use themes, is there another reason to go with a deodexed rom? is one more stable than the other?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
alright, i followed your instructions step by step...

i am now running OMJ v3.1 Odexed (tried Deodexed but was wayyyy too slow, i dont like themes anyways)

everything else as per your instructions...

here's what works (with WiFi off):

Call in/out

SMS in/out - using Handcent (using stock app i can send out, but stuck on "loading" to view messages)

Web

Weather/Mixzing (album art)/Facebook/AIM/XDA App/Market (browsing)/Mobile Banking

Voice Search

what doesnt work:

Voicemail Notifications

MSN Talk (works with WIFI on)

MMS out ("Unable to send message. Permanent failure")/ MMS in

E-mail in/E-mail out ("SSL handshake failure: I/O" - this doesnt happen with WIFI on)

so what's the next step? im pretty handy at doing this kind of thing, i've already flashed a bunch of roms, edited a lot of qpst, made my own splash, changed boot screens, flashe a bunch of other stuff. point being i'm not missing anything within your instructions...so i'm thinking it's got to be something you took for granted on your end that didnt make it into the guide that's making it not work for me.

are the qpst settings in the OP right? what about the whole new thing about metro using MSL codes instead of "metropcs" for passwords? what are your DATA settings from the last step in the first section of your guide?

anything you think I may be missing? as I said, i can live without mms, but would like voicemail notifications and NEED email in/out!

thanks for the work you do :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] xboxhacker:
Edited a lot of QPST?? No matter how many ROMs you flash, you only need to edit with QPST once.

What version of Token's MetroPCS flash did you use?

What mail service are you trying to access?

Sometimes i can not get my mail from the mail app either, most of the time i use the web browser anyway. I use AOL and Gmail.

For the MMS you need to send with the Stock MMS app, when it goes to the loading screen, just give it a few seconds, then exit the app. You can check if it has sent in handcent. But you CAN NOT send with handcent...wont work right.

Also sending is hindered by haveing Wifi turned on. The phone does not seem to know to use a network connection rather then a wifi connection to send and receive MMS.

MetroPCS changes the password a while ago, but most markets were still able to access with the password "metropcs". Just recently south FL market changes to the MSL.

Step #7 in the OP was to setup your metropcs MMS server, but tokens flash does that for you. No other changes are needed in the DATA setting.

Try this app for voicemail notification, its what i use....

http://www.androlib.com/android.application.uk-co-extorian-voicemailnotifier-jAjiz.aspx

I also removed the SprintVVM.apk, and i put the VVM.apk from the incredible on the EVO. Not 100% sure if it even did anything....

LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL

Their is a rumor that MPCS will have a android phone and plan by the end of September! Cricket just released their android phone, some users, some how changed their plan to crickets new android plan... with useing EVOs and Heros.

They report that EVERYTHING works now that they have the android plan. And Token's flash and Autostart is no longer needed!
