Did you flash a Sprint Hero over to Metro?
I had Metro till I got my Hero..
I know that if you flash a phone to work on Metro, there may be some features you will not be able to use.
i had sprint but moved to metro cuz i got a employe discount. i only pay 25$ a month for the 50$ plan. but yea its flashed over to metro and i need to know how to get metro wap settings on the phone
this may not end well for you...

i agree... atleast not soon...
sorry buddy....but you're **** out of luck..
Metro and Hero are not made for each other...i suggest you go get a plan with Sprint if you want those features on your phone to work..
I read a post on how to get it on win mo phones and I tried it on my phone and I got data for like 30 secs and then it just disappears. but I know an other dealer who said he can get web on it for me. but mms on is available for the Eris right now
Anycut
Use ANYCUT app download it and shortcut proxys to the desktop.
use wap.metropcs.net
port: 3128
this gets the browser working
but havn't figured mms yet
check howardforums.com, they have a lot of info on getting stuff to work on metro that is not supposed to.
I got my Hero on Metro with the browser working with anycut....and half of MMS working I can receive pic mess but can't send?
I need apps dude, the market I can't figure out. I'm being told that I need to use adb shell?
Any help with full access would much appreciated!

You need the Market at all times? Can't you just turn on wifi and get whatever apps you need loaded up? There may be times it is less than convenient, but I don't see how having 24/7 market availability is totally necessary.
I assume you got the browser going because Metro has web access, but the reason Market won't work is because you don't have a full data plan with Metro??? Do providers like Metro or Cricket even offer full data on any phones?
Anyone think we can get the Hero working on the new Beyond Talk plans that are coming out from Virgin Mobile on the 12th? Unlimited data and text on the sprint 3g network with 300 voice minutes for $25 a month. Best non blackberry phone they will have though is the LG Rumor Touch. If we could get the Hero to work I might have to do it just to try it out.
Full internet has beend done with Market working 24/7 it's not a free fix though!
Anyone what help out?
Huh? What exactly are you asking?

How to force 3rd party apps and market to use wap.metropcs.net?
Everything else works but no Android Market and no Apps? I would like to use the GPS, Navigation and a few other apps?
Thanks for the help!
AFAIK - No one running a Hero off of another carrier has access to those over EVDO WiFi is probably your only solution for Apps/Market.
Metro can't be that much cheaper to go through all this work.
PLease Help Metro settings
Well it seems that this string ended badly for those looking for metro settings for a hero. However, i paid 60 bucks to get mine rooted and setup on metro (also got first month free). The problem is, that when i got home the internet stopped working including maps and apps, which i attributed to bad reception. SAdly enuff, it never worked again, now its just a touch that can make calls and text as MMS crapped out shortly after. If anyone has an apn backup they can share i would even be willing to pay again as long as it's working. Did i get duped or did metro chage their settings that quickly? Please any help would be greatly appreciated. Also i am having trouble getting my spc code, if it's not 000000 then what is it?
Try hexscrews rom it has the apn settings you need. Also I;m 99% sure that you can't get the market to work until metro gets a android phone of it's own. You could try apks like market enabler to fake like your on tmobile or sprint.

Correct! But the market does indeed work on wifi.

Hey Guys,
I'm really liking my first Android phone, but am having a heck of time working out the kinks. Phone calls and text work. Here's a list and if anyone can help out with any of them, I'd really appreciate it.
1. The phone constantly tries to do Sprint Auto-Activation. I *believe* this is causing the GUI to crash constantly...I've tried three ROMs and none run very stable. Is there a way to disable that pesky auto-activate?
2. I need data settings for Virgin or Boost. Coming from an iPhone, I don't see a setting for an APN anywhere. I think I have the settings, but I'm not sure I'm putting them in the right place.
3. Is there a special ROM I should install since I'm not on Sprint? I'm surprised there aren't more Verizon ROMs around.
Please help with any suggestions.
Realized this should probably be in the "General" instead....

So your on virginmobile but with a cdma hero? Awesome to get to the apn settings just hold the green call button down till you get the voice dial or just do it from your menu. When it comes up say, "open apns". It will take you to the apns. Are you rooted? Also to get the phone to stop doing that pesky
Thanks for the help. I'm working on the APN stuff now. I think your last post got cut short. I'd really like to know how to disable to auto-activate crap. I'm also getting invalid username/password, but I'm sure thats just becuase its trying to log into Sprint.
So u can use sprint phones on virgin mobile? please how do u do this..that 25 buck plan looks to good to pass up.. How would i say use my hero on virgin mobile..
I'm only able to place calls and text. NO DATA which is driving me nuts. I need the APN/Data settings for VM, but no one seems to have them.
And my phone keeps trying to do Sprint auto-activation, which is also driving me nuts. And I keep getting GUI crashes no matter which ROM I use. So far the process has been anything but smooth.
Does anyone have ideas on disabling Sprint auto-activation? Thanks!

I knows this isn't much help but do a search for cricket. I saw a way earlier just gotta find it cuz i'm not doing anything i'll look to ..... try this enter ##data# then hit edit enter your msl then turn off vocoder. Also hit menu then commit changes
I'm pretty sure I seen an APK in the phone somewhere that was related to the over the air activation stuff... might wanna look for it.
I could be wrong, that may be for the Moment, but that's Android on Sprint too so I dont see why the Sprint Hero would be different.
I too am really interested in putting my Hero on Virgin Mobile US. Has anyone figured out the data settings for wap/apn and whatever else is needed? If not, if one were to purchase a cheap virgin phone, say a jax, could the information be taken from there?
Also, would it be necessary to use a non-sprint ROM since virgin mobile runs on the Sprint network???? Thanks for any help.
Ok, I tried the BitterSweet and the nags went away and everything is running smooth on my Hero...I'm really liking it. Just no DATA. I'm still waiting on settings from someone. I tried VM tech support and they didn't even know what an APN was...seriously.
Yes, you can buy a cheap $10 Virgin Mobile phone and use those "settings" for the Hero. That's all I'll say about that.

Lol, not asking about that one setting. I already knew that part, I mean if someone were to buy a cheap phone would they be able to get all the settings, apn/wap and so on from it. If so, which phone, and what else would be needed?

can program your apns in by holding down the green call button and saying "open apns" also try pushing ##data# and you'll get a menu with data and mms stuff. Another note I've been doing some research to avoid the overpriced $75 dollars to get the phone flashed to metropcs and (two things) one they say they've rooted the hero. Two they say that for a normal flash all they do is change the prl.
I've accessed the ##DATA# and APN menus, but I have no idea what to change them to. I've also looked into PRLs but I can't seem to find one for Virgin. I know they just use the Sprint network so wouldn't the PRL be the same?
If anyone is really interested in using the Hero on Virgin, Boost, or Cricket PM me. I searched the internet for hours finding all the info and I don't mind helping someone else out. The more people we get working on this, the more likely we are to figure these settings out.

**** I'm trying to get it to work on metro. My main thing right now is to stop it from doing the hands free activation. I know we have slightly separate goals but that is something we could work on together. What you really need is for the op of this thread to send you his prl.
I got rid of the Sprint Auto-Activation by installing BitterSweets ROM. It's working great so far.

Unfortunately for me the phone I wanna do this on is a nonrooted phone. I did find a good really good explanation here
Just realized you were the op can you upload your prl for others? A full nandroid would be awesome
The PRL I'm using is the standard one that comes with the Hero. I haven't changed it. I can upload it, but it should be one everyone has by default on Sprint. I forget the version...

okay if it's 60665 or 60664 don't worry about it thanks though
I have been searching for info on this for about and hour and keep hearing different stories. Will the G1 work on AT&T? I know it will only operate on EDGE. But aside from that will everything else function as normal? SMS messaging? MMS messaging? Android marketplace? Signing into a Google account? The reason I ask is that I'm thinking of pickup up a G1, no real reason, there is just some guy who is trading it for my old 2g iPhone.... Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

You may need to research the correct APN and add it to your APN list, but that's it. Everything else should be fine.
Guys, I have a Sprint HTC Touch Diamond which is flashed to cricket, but I can only talk and text. Is there a way I can get MMS and Mobile web to work? I have tried to install some of the cabs listed here, but none of them has worked. I have tried a couple of Cricket stores and they keep saying they can't fully flash Sprint HTC Touch Diamond. I know there are guys in here who have been able to get Cricket MMS and Mobile web working on Sprint HTC Touch Diamond.
Many thanks folks
a little help
really guys no help for him at all
ok this is my first post i just read them for the info i need but i saw your post with no reply.
i did one for my kid got her a htc diamond and i flashed the mighyrom for cricket on it .
the internet worked when we had it activated on cricket. i have read that sometimes you have to call and ask them to reset your acct to get it to work.
for info on getting mms to work try here.thecricketmafia.com/
i wish i could give you a step by step but i reformated my system and forgot to save my bookmarks.
use the search here and howard forums for the info you need.
hope his helps
short advise comment-- Pegasus ROM for cricket.
Your internet will work, your text will work, your GPS will work.
I got 3.0 PRO running and it was the best most well scripted ROM I have found ever.
I have tried over 50 ROM's easily ffor two seperate HTC phones on cricket. Pegasus by far is the best out of the box.
showthread.php?t=578478
I second Pegasus.
even the stock sprint rom will work if properly configured.
your epst settings are critical for working web/pix
on the stock rom you have to remove cmguardian before your settings will stick in windows.

Could you please tell us a step by step instructions on how to configure the STOCK rom.
My phone is running on ROM Version 2.00.651.7 and I really wanna have cricket web and mms.
Many thanks!!
do a search for ryan mogul cricket settings.
it should cover everything.
the diamond is basically the same as its predecessors.
Ok so yes i am going to pay $20 to whoever knows how i can fix this problem i am having, i've flashed my droid to the network tbaytel, Everything works except for incoming texts which i need to work. The only way i can get them to work is if i use the zeusdroid rom and for thsoe of you who don't know what it is, its the htc desire rom thats been ported to the nexus one then ported to the droid. So its because of that that it's slow, buggy and i can't get data. i've tried alot of solution including changing basebands ( including to the brazalian one), i've tried different settings and im nto sure if it would be apn but my networkdoesn't have an apn for android yet. so yes if you know what it could be or have any ideas please tell! thank you
