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
Every once in a while I would notice, when I unlocked my phone, it would say "Emergency Calls Only" as if I didn't have a SIM card in.
Everything would still work after that such as text messages and calls, so I just figured it was a weird issue with Cyanogen 6 RC1.
Starting today, I was getting that message every single time, and also a notification that I couldn't register on T-Mobile's network.
I got on T-Mobile's live chat help, and they said there's nothing wrong with the service in my area. The person also had me tell him the SIM card number to ensure they had the right one in their system, which they did.
After this, I figured it might still be because I'm running CM RC1 so I upgraded to RC3 and I"m still having the same issue.
T-Mobile's "my account" program is no longer set up, so I don't get the notification, but I still get the emergency calls message on the lock screen.
Also, I AM connected to the T-Mobile network, but it just won't recognize my phone.
I was wondering if anyone else had any insight...
Which radio are you using? Has it done this since upgrading from stock rom?
Yes I just had this similar issue yesterday and I'm on at&t. Also, everything on my N1 is stock.

I had the froyo radio but then I flashed the new Korean radio and it didn't help.
I did, however, pull out the old trusty G1 to have a working phone again. But when I started it up, it reported not having a sim card. Im going to go to tombile tomorrow to get them to test it. I'll report back in case someone else has the same issue.

You might try cleaning the SIM card contacts, they might be the culprit.
I went to T-Mobile and he confirmed it was the sim card. Actually he said it was fairly common for them to go bad. No charge and I'm working 100% now. Thanks!

I have not in my life seen a dead SIM card, it was a month ago that somebody was asking around the forums what and why. I was shocked
And T-Mobile says it's common.. lol wut?
Maybe the Nexus One eats them lol

I had been fairly lucky with the 4G/3G switching issue with my bionic. It happened occasionally but wasn't a big deal.
Got the 902 update yesterday afternoon. Almost immediately I lost all data. Tried airplane mode, reboot, pull the battery, take the sim out, boot without sim. Sometimes one or the other of these would bring back 4 G briefly. Today I lost all data at home and did all those things plus a factory reset and still did not have data. (I live in an area that is definitely in 4G)
So I drove to the Verizon store and tech support did all the things I told them I had already done and then he discovered I had no 3G. He tried all sorts of things to get 3G to turn on but it would not. 4G would turn on when he switched from cdma only to cdma/lte. I know I used to have 3G because when I would drop 4G i would see 3G in the notifications. So I have a new bionic on the way.
Has anyone else lost 3G after the 902 update? Anyway to get it back without getting a new phone?
Just a thought, but it seems something went wrong with the radio flash. I'd try reinstalling the .902 update (download it on the web).
I noticed the radio issues as well. Apearently not all handsets are affected. Motorola received feed back on this and say their looking into this...
Thier is something wrong with the idle settings affecting 3g/4g after the update.
If your push notifications are on then you probably won't have this issue.
At least that's what I've seen.

Yeah this happened to me. I lost all data. I thought I fried my Sim but after 4 hours at Verizon store and 3 Sims obviously that was not it.
I ended up flashing 893 system image, rooted and flashed a 902 update. It's finally back.

I bought a Virgin Mobile phone at Best Buy for $30 with no intention of activating the phone. I just want to give it to my kids to use on WiFi. I set up Google Hangouts and was able to get it texting and calling through Hangouts with a google number, so everything is working how I was hoping it would and the phone seems to be great.
The only problem is that the phone keeps bugging me to activate it every time I start it up. Does anybody have any tips for me removing that notification? I also tried pulling the SIM card but then it complains about not having a SIM card.

Hi,
I purchased HTC 510 for the same purpose. To use the phone without activation, I switched the Airplane mode on. After that I was able to browse the internet, install applications from the Play store and play media on the samsung TV.
Slide the notification bar down
Click on the square in the top right hand corner for settings
click on Airplane mode on.
Oh, great tip! I will try that when I get home from work. That's even less invasive than what I ended up trying.
Here is what I did:
I rooted the phone and then installed an app that has the ability to "freeze" unwanted applications. I froze anything related to Sprint or data and it stopped bugging me, although it still has a little icon telling me the SIM card is invalid, or something like that...
I didn't post an update on here telling what I did because I wasn't sure if I was done yet. There may be other changes I need to make, but I would rather just simply put it in airplane mode like you suggested.
