Upgrading

Im upgrading in a couple weeks. Is there a way to have the hero pre-paid?
I wanna give it to my friend, but the plans are too much money. He doesnt need unlimited internet and texts...

I would search around on here, I am pretty sure I have read that you can flash your phone to be on boost mobile and / or metro pcs ...

He'll have a big bill if he doesn't have data since the hero IU is always syncing

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!

[Q] HD7 on AT&T

I know this has been beat to death, but of all the threads I've read the past few days one thing hasn't been clear to me. Is it hardware preventing AT&T from accessing 3G on the HD7 making it impossible for a way to ever make it work? I want to know because my friend on T-Mobile will buy this one from me and I'll just wait until the HD7S comes out. If not I'll hold on to this one a while longer. Thanks in advance

Yeah, it's a hardware limitation. Definitely wait for the AT&T version.

internet with tmobile

Hey guys someone offered me a samsung captivate for 50 bucks n it looked nice but its At&t and im a tmobile user ..................so even if unlocked the highest speed internet i can get without wifi is only 2g and edge right...........
P.s will that be enough for facebook/netflix?
thanks in advance

Edge is what u will get.
Facebook....yep, but probably really slow.
Netflix...i would say nope, because of the slow data transfer speed.
But in the end, it is whatever u r willing to tolerate.

As he said very slow. I used my captivate on Walmart family mobile which is powered by T-Mobile and it made me want to gouge my eyes out it was so slow... But they did throttle data speeds on that plan so you might have better luck.
Also if you decide to try it anyway and are a brave soul when it comes to tinkering there is a thread somewhere in here on a DIY unlock for the captivate. I can verify that it works as I've done it myself but I suggest backing up your efs folder first.
I have the thread bookmarked on my PC so I could link it for you later if you're interested.

Will the recent refarming of their network help us out like the iPhone users that have also been stuck on EDGE?

I'm going ahead and picking up a Vibrant pretty cheap tonight so I don't have to worry about it. Who knows how long it may be before everything is 3G? My Cappy can be a backup.

Got working 3G on google edition

Okay guys . After a day of messing around with this Google Edition I finally got fully working data . I was wondering if anyone could tell me the direction to get the roaming indicator off . I'm up loading it to dropbox right not and its taking forever . So if you have suggestions for a different file sharing please let me know.

Did you port this from Verizon's port or the International?
I booted up the Verizon port and have working LTE right out of the gate. Good job on messing around with it. I just wish we had the 4.3 version... Beggars can't be choosers though.

I've got a test build I'm about to try based on the VZW version. The VZW version author cut this test build at my request. I'll let you know once I get it installed.

I guess we'll know later

I would love to use the Google version if everything checked out ok. I am not one to tinker with it. But the idea of no bloatware has me almost there... So if anyone figures out how to get it work with no issues that would be great. Where I live we only get 3g so anything above that wont matter to me. Good work btw to you guys who figure this stuff out. Many Thanks :laugh::good:

I downloaded an app called "Lte on off" on that app I change the preferred network mode to Cdma/lte auto prl. If at firat it doesn't work try switching it to another and then back to that. It takes a minuter to kick in. I also had mobile data disabled while I did it and then enabled it, don't know if that made a difference.

HTC One not working right after Kit Kat upgrade.

Can anyone help? I am using an AT&T unlocked HTC One with Straight Talk sim, and after Kit Kat upgrade I can't send or receive pics or connect to WiFi. Get no help from HTC, and have gone over my APN settings with Straight Talk. Don't know what my options are to fix problem. Appreciate any help I can get...

Have you tried a factory reset?
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda app-developers app

Thank you for responding. I was going to do that as a last resort. I was reading in forums that I need to root my phone. Something bout me having Straight Talk makes Kit Kat not work right. And that after root I need to put a couple apps from play store on my phone for changing APN. I have changed APN couple times, but they said the apps will allow me to access it differently. I am computer il-lit-rate, and don't have a clue. I figured I'd read all I can before going further. Thank you...
