I flashed my phone successfully over to MetroPCS, but MMS and the marketplace is not working. Data works however. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Wow my first post!!!!
Damage Control V1.0 or v1.1 (which is based off of the Eris) wil get you there. Sadly, this rom is no longer being updated, so us MetroPCS Hero users are stuck. I have tried all the latest roms, but MMS will not work. I am even willing to try an Eris rom, but I have not seen any thread that mentions if it's possible or not.
Good Luck.
Hey, if your ROM supports phone codes, you'll have to configure MMS using DATA (3282) which should be entered into the phone keypad as one of these
##3282 <dial>
##3282#
##3282# <dial>
from there, the MMS server is listed. Flashing to a different ROM will reset this.
Check out this thread for MetroPCS provisioning..

Edit: Are you using a custom ROM, or is it stock? If the unit is rooted and on a custom ROM, I know that Fresh ROM does support these codes (and is just a great ROM in general). For future reference, d-shade included in his ROM thread, a program called "APN Backup & Restore" to backup MMS settings and restore them in a different ROM.
Thanks for your response.
The unit is rooted and on custom rom. I personnally have tried all of the latest ASOP and Sprint based roms available. I have used APN Backup & Restore to copy and restore my settings from Damage Control v1.1 rom. No Luck. I have tried changing the DATA settings. No Luck. SMS works, but MMS does not. From what I understand, Sprint based roms do not have the messaging structure that MetroPCS uses. Verizon does, and that is why Damage Control v1.1 (Eris based) works. Voicemail is also an issue with Sprint based roms for us MetroPCS users.
If someone has have success with a Sprint based rom with MetroPCS, please share.
In the HTC messaging app, under settings will be "Connection Settings" which will show the MMSC, but not allow you to change it. I have never gotten MMS to work using AOSP/stock Android messaging.
By entering basic provisioning (DATA/3282), EPST should let you edit all settings. Let me know if the dialer doesn't open EPST. When EPST opens and you enter your MSL for edit mode, the MMSC is listed under "Advanced". Once you change the MMSC and go to Menu>Commit Modifications, it will tell you "No changes made" unless you change another settings (I just change the SCI to something different) I was able to edit it on the Fresh ROM I posted earlier, and my carrier uses Verizon's method for messaging.
For the voicemail issue, refer to this post. Voicemail is usually the only issue I have flashing Sprint ROMs.
Thanks again.
Believe it or not, I have tried everything you suggested already. Despite that, I did try the rom you suggested again and double checked all my settings. I don't know what is different about the Eris rom, but Damage Control v1.0 or v1.1 is the only rom that is fully working for MetroPCS Hero users right now. This rom is great, but my only fault is that it is no longer being upgraded, and I cannot find an ESPRESSO lockscreen that prevents the menu button from unlocking the phone. I am not a big fan of the vanilla or other lockscreens.
Thanks.
Not sure what to tell you at this point, but I'm positive there isn't anything you could be doing wrong. I'll go ahead and try a Damage Control ROM and see what happens, since it is Eris-based. And I honestly don't blame you at all about your lockscreen preference. Thanks for your feedback, though. Are MMS and voicemail the only problems you're having when using a different ROM?
Yes. MMS and Voicemail are the only problems that I am having with other roms. Depending on the Rom, voicemail works if I flash the PHONE.zip file, but I still get the annoying voicemail connection message . With AOSP roms, the voicemail works perfectly. MMS does not work with either.
Since VM is a known issue, I'll just say to focus on MMS for now - is the MMS server in the thread I pointed out earlier the most recent one (that you're using on Danger ROMs)?

Yes it is.
For the record, this is the thread that I am following.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730289
As I said before, I'm not on MetroPCS right now, so I have no way of testing any of their proxy information. There is only one other thread I've noticed so far, in the Eris forums.

I also tried manual qpst changes and all i managed to do was get a new error code about pcs vision incorrect password. Please someone help!
Hello. I am running Simpfinity 1.5 with default kernel it came with and modem, In their thread here in the forums they say I can install the stock modem and kernel to get bluetooth working.
My question is do I need to undo all the lagfixes before installing a stock kernel and modem ?
I am trying to get bluetooth voice dialing to work. Not just clear up the sound, altho clear sound is better than nothing
I am open to a new ROM all together.. I NEED bluetooth. Thanks guys.
Download and try cognition 3.04....this has the default rogers modem.
Alternatively, at the bottom of the first post of simpfinity they have a link to get bluetooth writing.
Note that bluetooth voice dialing is not enabled on the rogers captivates.
I don't think you need to disable the lag fixes. I have flashed numerous roms without any issue.

What do you mean not enabled ? When I had stock 2.2, I click the button on my headset and It looks like its listening but its not.
Are you telling me that I will never get voice dialing in my rogers I896 ?
Hi,
I have a Motorola Droid 4 and I am in France (so I need GSM to work... I am not so familiar with the different types of networks).
I have installed a recovery system (SafeStrap I think) and I installed Cyanogen mod 10.1.3 (the latest stable release) from here.
My issue is that I am not able to set the SMSC on the phone (and therefore, I can't send SMS). I use *#*#4636#*#* => Phone Settings. I set the SMSC (I tried many formats, the PDU is then translated correctly into a number) but when I press back and go back immediately into Phone Settings, the SMSC is blank again...
I tried many things (reinstalling CM, rebooting, etc...) but I can't save the SMSC...
I tried installing a patch to make it fully compatible to GSM networks but it doesn't seem to help at all... (sorry I can't give you the link of the patch as I am a new user)
I really don't know what else to do right now (except buying another phone...)
Thank you !
Edit : I fixed the issue... I have no idea how, the SMSC field is still empty, but... It works !
Hey all. I have an issue with custom roms that i hope someone figures out where it comes from.
Apart from stock rom and Slimbean 4.3, NONE of the roms i've flashed can send/receive MMS automaticaly. I've changed the APN settings to the right ones in my country and still isn't working out. Is this because they have the CM based tree?
I've also changed telephony.db to .xx and still got nothing.
Any ideas? :good:
did you check settings -> mms -> auto retrieve option enabled?
Hi All - I tried flashing 2 custom ROM's (Monnlight and Mokee), both install just fine but i am unable to get mobile data on either of the ROM's. Everything works fine on Wifi. I can even make calls fine. My IMEI number is correct, hence not sure why i cannot get the mobile datat to work.
Tried manually entering the APN details, still no luck.
Hoping somebody has a fix.
Have you tried this:
dial *#*#4636#*#*
select WCDMA-preferred or CDMA auto-prl

Thanks Gary, I tried your code and selected various options nine work. I can still see the Exclamation mark and no mobile data. However on the diagnostic page it says "Connected" and network type "HSPA". I have tried multiple settings rebooting, still no luck.
The funny thing is if i switch back to my phone OS which MIUI v6 evrything works fine. I even checked the baseband number its teh same in the working ROM and the non working ROM.
I am really confused what's happening.
It seemed like a ROM issue I installed a non Cyanogenmod based ROM and it worked just fine
