He can hook it up on boost. Boost plans include data so he wont have a big bill, or he could turn off sync. I dont know how to hook it up with boost. Also if he hooks it up with boost I think there is an issue with SMS. Not totaly sure if the SMS part is true. I remeber seeing a post that detailed the issue on the Evo forum but I am not sure if it was resolved or not.
HTC Hero flashing to Metro PCS
Can anyone direct me to the forum to find out how to do this flashing to Metro PCS? I have an HTC TP and it has problems from being dropped, so going to get a used Hero, but need to find out first if it can be flashed (fully) to Metro PCs
THANKS!
Hi,
I have a problem with Fearkills Custom Rom 5.1.1!
When I'm in 3G I get no data connection, with HSDPA and Edge I'm getting a connection!
I have Baseband: 1035.21_20110405!
Rest is fully working...
Does anyone know what I can do to get it working?
Thanks for your help

Yeah but im not allowed to post a reply in that topic because I have less then 10 replys written...
Will try 5.2 today
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Have flashed to 5.2 but still same problem, but perhaps it helps on 3G only the arrow for upload flashes up, the one for download is always grey, so it seems that only the download is not working...
So I just need some posts so I can post in Fearkills thread!
Just some spamming to get 10, sry
Last one
Still cannot post on this topic :/
Perhaps someone else can post the problem, plz?
EDIT: now I can, seems to take some time before youre able to do so
Got no response from that topic still got the problem...

Anyone know if this is possible? I want to connect my phone to my laptop and use the internet, when I plug it in I see the option for "internet connection" but it doesn't do anything.
Thanks for the help
Search "tether" and you will find what you are looking for.
There's 2 options. You could use wifi tether. Wich u have to search Google for. Or u can use easy tether which is on the market

But if I use wifi tether. Won't I need to.be connected to a wifi network? I want to use my 3g/4g connection. If there is wifi connectivity, I could just connect my laptop to that, I wouldn't need my phone?
Thanks for the clarification

No you need wifi tether it creates a hot spot but requires root
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium
Wifi Tether will be included in the next GingerVolt also. I am trying to find a way to get it to have certain settings automatically, but no luck so far.
With ur USB tether share switcher works really well for me. Just add the widget and click on the usb

Ouch!! I just slapped my forehead really hard.
Good answers gentlemen, as always.
In our themes and apps section, there is a thread "wifi tether, not mine" there is an app that works perfect for me. I have thought about dropping ATT for net, and just using Verizon for surfing at home. That would save me 50 dollars a month. Downfall: I have an awesome phone that can do that, my wife does not. So I would have to retire, and live at home and write best selling books so my phone could always be here to make a connection to the net for my wife. Boy.. that would be... terrible.

Yeah that app used to be in the market but was quickly pulled, so now Google just posts it there.

Your provider may require you to pay a fee. There are likely folks that can get around paying.
I did try "easy tether" when I found that the rooting process damaged my tethering setup. It did work well for an hour to two, until my provider found me and throttled me down to dial-up speed. "Their support guy enjoyed my story and admitted the same thing happened to him once too.
I'm having an issue where I cannot stay connected to my WiFi network. Everytime I disconnect, I have to sign back in...it won't auto connect. I've tried multiple roms and kernels with the same result. Any quick fixes that yall know of?

Actually I have a problem with mine dropping WiFi all together. I know it is working because my husband's iPhone stays connected and it still works when mine has dropped. Lost 4 calls today because of that problem. Tried tinkering with the WiFi setting on the One between 2.5 ghz and 5 ghz and auto. Makes no difference. Connection lasts maybe 5 or 10 minutes then it disconnects. If you have a solution let me know.

Have you tried looking to see if your phone is actually saving the password? It is saved in the following location;
/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
Open this file up using a file explorer with root capabilities. Is your network SSID and password in there?

It is saving it because all I do to get it back on
Is turn off WiFi and turn it back in again. Then it works for five minutes or so. And I looked at the link that was provided above and made sure I had WiFi on always power saver off etc. See what it does tonight.

Sorry, my response was directed towards the OP. Should have made that clearer.
Sometimes dropped connections with android phones comes from having your router set to 'auto' for channel selection. If yours is this setting, try changing it to a fixed channel. Use the app Wi-Fi Analyzer to find a clear channel.

Well I contacted HTC, and I did the steps ad posted above and so far no problem. Of course it will probably happen after I post this knock on wood. Didn't have to do what HTC said below since it works now but will definitely do it if the problem persists. I also uninstalled a battery widget because one of the posts said to try that also.
We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with the Wi-Fi connection on your HTC One and can certainly provide some assistance to help resolve the issue.
To start, we will need to check a setting on the device. From the Home screen, access Settings>Wi-Fi>Menu>Advanced. Make sure the DLNA Auto-IP is disabled. Also, I know you have also changed it prior but set the Wi-Fi frequency band to 2.4 GHz. We will need test the combination to see if there is any difference.
If needed, we will need to make sure there is not an issue with the phone trying to get through your network’s security. For this, we will first need to remove the network from the phone. Access Settings>Wi-Fi then tap and hold on the name of the network to select Forget Network. Once done, reboot the phone and temporarily remove the security from the network. It should be open with no password and the SSID being broadcast. This is only temporary so we can test the phone to see if the same thing continues with an unsecured network. Once this is tested, you can add the security back to the network.
We would also recommend testing the phone with other public networks to see if you still having issues with the connection.
Feel free to reply should you have any further questions, Christina. If you feel more comfortable discussing issues by phone, you can contact Technical Support at 1-866-449-8358, 8 am to 1 am ET, 7 days a week.

Having the same issue with the wifi. Connection is erratic even if I am in the same room as the router/superhub. I went to the store today and they tested it there as well. They uninstalled some power saving apps and it seemed to work ok but at home same issues. Loosing connection when surfing and if I leave the room no connection at all.
Will have to get back to the store tomorrow to get it replaced.

Yea man...I remember you...haha. The One is bringing a lot of good people over from what I've been seeing.
As far as using an international ROM, yes I am....was using Trickdroid, but now I'm trying out AndroidRevolution 8.0...same issue. Next time I flash another Rom, I'll try the international setting instead of the ATT setting. Wouldn't I have to change the APN if I did that, or does that setting adjust something else?

Nah I didn't have to change anything. I get average 15-25 meg lte speed. A lot of guys were having the WiFi passwords reset on boot with the att package checked in aroma. From what I've seen the only difference with international & att is the signal icons. I had to switch because WiFi tether wasn't working under att.

Day two and WiFi still going good! Have no clue why it was doing it the first day I did it. Just turned power saver off. WiFi on during sleep always. Removed my battery widget. Rebooted phone, no problems since.

I sometimes have the same wifi problem. I think I have to wait untill there is a software fix.
UPDATE: I bought a new router (<with wifi support 2G and 5G) and all my problems are solved.
I hope this is the right place to post this. I'm a total newbe with a serious problem..
Someone called from number +972542241849
So i answered this number but noone talked so i hang up
I tried calling throughout the day from different phones and it says the costumer cant accept my calls
It was showing on my call logs
A few hours later I had another look
on my call logs and no calls from or to this number showing
I wrote it down and also saved it to my phone
So i started texting it...
Closed the texting window and reopen and no texting shows
None
So I texted several more time thretning messages
And now it shows messages records but no call record even if im calling it immedietly vanish from my call logs
Could anyone explain me what does that means.....?
This particular incident is just one of many other signs that I'm having a constant problem in many different variations.
Thank you in advance! ??

Haha, it's not that people don't want to help, they don't know what to say.
Here, it could be a wrong number, I've had that happen to me before and I hung up. I haven't noticed with the call logs though. Are they on your device or carrier?
Sent from my HTC_0P6B using Tapatalk
Firstly, thank you for bothering to reply... I have had this problem for a long time in many different variations. It was not just the call logs its also text messages. No it is not a wrong number... At first i would send texts too and there was record, but less the half an hour later they were not there anymore. Strange! I cant determine if its on my device or my carrier. How could I ?? I understand that
S-OFF will give me some security..? As far as all my internet accounts and emails, i do not have privacy what so ever and i got use to that, but on my phone, how could existing call logs and text messages vanish without me deleting it?
I am fully aware of the reason and know its happening. This is the main reason for me to join XDA in the first place, to try and learn how I could trace the source and prevent some what the dammage.

Welcome to xda. Bumping your post in 3 hours is considered pretty rude, 24 hours is more appropriate. If people know the answer they will reply, this site is not for you to demand guaranteed free tech support. Have some patience.
I don't think you've been hacked and s-off does not increase security.
Well there is always the first time in which you learn. Not familiar with this time rulles. I know either my device or through my carrier is being hacked.
