dial ##778, press send, enter spc which should be 000000, press enter, go to m.ip settings, enter cricket info, go to m.ip default profile, enter cricket info, save, reboot...download anycut from market and install, make shortcut to proxy settings with anycut, click shortcut you just made, enter wap.mycricket.com for host, 8080 for port, save, now u should be able to use browser, if not working call cs to refresh your mobile web.
thnx for helping and yea it did work ive had it working for a while now. and for those who havent figured out how to change mms settings. i was able to do it using mmsZap but only on the 2.1 leak for eris. just put in crickets info and your set u have a fully flashed eris to cricket. now just trying to figure out on how to use apps and gps working on theyre data plan.
From what I gather there is a solution for web apps but the folks who have the solution (and/or utility) that makes them work on cricket are being very tight-lipped about it.
Some web apps work. Some will not.
There is a motodroid solution that works well, but not a cricket one. The tech in Western New York everyone goes to here for stuff hasnt' even figured how how to put the Eris on Cricket. I offered to help him in trade for a .prl file, but he didn't take me up on it.
just an update
i just posted a solution for web/marketplace/browser thanks to the team at howard forums for their hardwork
i take no credit for this, i just simply posted what works for the eris from what they had already figured out onto an ongoing thread.
you can flash/root your phone to 2.1 from the guides here, then follow the thread overthere to get it all setup for cricket
www dot howardforums dot com/forumdisplay.php?f=394
Yes, while many folks worked on this solution, token is the man that brought it to the masses! Works 100% on my Eris!
hi all few weeks ago i was looking for a way to surf the web on my eris and i had to take it to some one to set it up and he charged me $30 to put a shortcut on the home screen that say proxy settings but after the leaked 2.1 which unfortunately i installed on my eris instead of the rooted one i lost that shortcut so i did my researches and i found that if you download any cut from the market open it and go to New shortcut then Activity wait for the list to load scroll down to proxy settings open it and create a shortcut go bak to home screen and look for the proxy settings shortcut open it and for hostname use wap.metropcs.net and port 3128 click save restart and you be able to surf the web using the internet app
note:if you are connected to a wifi the internet app will not work in less you turn mobile network of and restart for that i have opera mini it will work on wifi but not on mobile so i use internet app for mobile and opera for wifi the rest of apps will work normal on wifi not on mobile only the mail app work normal on wifi and mobile use it to send and receive pix messages
also you must do the settings on ##7764726# and ##778# from @vzw3g.com to @mymetropcs.com for more information on that refer to these post http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1466303
Do not skip any steps!!!!!
This works...
WAP
1: Goto settings -> Connections -> Connections
2: Remove any connections that are there
3: Open your phone and enter ##778#, select "EDIT" and enter your unlock code.000000
4: Set the following values:
M.IP Settings:
MIP_MODE = Simple IP Only
M.IP Default Profile:
NAI = [email protected]
Home Address = 0.0.0.0 (just delete the values and save)
Primary HA Address = 0.0.0.0 (just delete the values and save)
Secondary HA Address = 0.0.0.0 (just delete the values and save)
Security:
HDR AN AUTH User Id = [email protected]
PPP USER ID = [email protected]
PPP PASSWORD = metropcs
then menu and + save changes

so now only i need to set the mms to send pix because i receive picture messages but can't send
So what kind of speeds do you get from metropcs?
We have metropcs here in Tampa, FL but from what I understand it comparable to dialup speeds. :/
Yea same here in Dallas if I'm on 1x I get dialup but on some areas I get 3g
Oh you put s.ip dun user name as @dun.metropcs.com
You soul get 3g on some areas too

You'll need APN Backup & Restore (free from Market) to get your MMS working right. There's tutorials all over about what things need to be put in, but I just modify the 'Production' area in the xml file. Some people create/rename a whole area called 'metropcs'.
I've done this with Cricket. Good luck with Metro.
I have don it but not success
For mms

HTC Eris Metro internet apps (other than main internet browser) to work on metroweb
I have the HTC Droid Eris all flashed from Verison to MetroPCS on Android 2.1 rooted, I have Web(on the default UI Sense internet browser. All I want is to be able to use Android Market and other Apps like Trapster (to detect speed traps) without using WI-FI. I want to be able to use these internet dependent applications on Metro's mobile data network. So far have been unsuccessful. Does anyone know the secret Metro PCS settings that will make this happen ? Any ideas?

Is There a Way to Backup Your Metro Flash Settings?
I had my Eris flashed to Metro, but it wasn't syncing my contacts with Gmail correctly. People on these forums were saying that a hard reset would fix it. Tried that and of course all of my Metro Flash settings were wiped and my phone was reverted back to the original Verizon network. Is there a way to backup the Metro Flash settings or create some type of restore image, so I don't have to take it back to get reprogrammed every time I do a hard reset?
How do I know if I have all the APN setting correct?

what about internet and mms?
Thanks about this guide now I have internet and mms working fully. I would kiss you in rl for this guid seriously I spent like week searching and finally found.
Just a tip you can't have mms working without having internet working. You get internet working then edit mms setting with apn backup and restore.

Download APN Backup & Restore from the market.
Back Up your APN's.
Upload them here, so that other MetroPCS users can have MMS working properly.
You would be a hero.
Also, if you want to actually help people, you can do a nand backup, then turn your phone on and delete all of your contacts and information the best that you can, then do a nand backup again, and upload the second nand backup.
APN Backup & Restore is how you edit APN's. They're not REALLY APN's, they're just for MMS, on this phone.
##778 pw 000000 is how you edit most connection settings
iptables in the system is how you put EVERYthing through the proxy (need root)
and APN Backup (then edit it on a computer in a text editor) is how you can edit the APN's.
Make sure you DELETE before you RESTORE or it will just add on to the APNS already there.
here is the eris flash for metro/cricket enjoy...
www-megaupload-com/?d=PV7PQ9UI
change the dashes to dots..
Yes, get your custom ROM in there, and then flash the .zip (within this .zip) that is appropriate for MetroPCS.
It's all there, and it should work perfectly.
ive had very annoying occurrence happen recently and i havent done anything major to make it happen that im aware of. im running an x10a that i've put the 2.1 official decrypted rom on, rooted and installed the multitouch kernel. i never had any problems after doing all this...this happened later.
if my text messages are too long (I dont know how many characters) but im assuming when it gets to "2nd message length" it always says cannot send. as soon as i shorten the message it will send without fail...everytime. this is driving me nuts, does anyone have any ideas? i've taken the battery out several times for 30 seconds, deleted call logs and message logs. i dont run any other 3rd party messaging app either. does anyone have a clue what this is about? im using ATT. Help!
--i am using ADW launcher EX 1.0, but i dont see how that could change anything, it loads the same stock messaging application.
I had this problem too when I first updated to 2.1 from 1.6 (using Handcent SMS as well). After one of the other 2.1 updates, I haven't had this problem ever since. Seems it got sorted out on one of the newer basebands.
What firmware are you using?
wolf0491 said:
damn maybe i just haven't updated in a while..
well i know i haven't lol
I'm still using 2.0.46 baseband
with the 2.0.2.A.0.24 build number
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ah, I see. I'm running baseband 2.1.55 and 2.1.1.A.0.6 build.
You could try installing either a new firmware or a new baseband and see if that helps. You could use either the 2.1.A.0.435 build (baseband 2.1.54) or the one I'm using as they are pretty much the same.
heres a dumb question...i know what baseband means in general--the modulation of the cell's RF, correct? so what does the "baseband version" have to do with? different baud rates?
im running, firmware version 2.1-update 1
baseband 2.0.49
kernel 2.6.29
build 2.0.2.A.0.24
I thought i had the latest ROM from sony which i figured was safest and most practical because all the other custom roms lack support for camera, etc. ill update the baseband with flashtool if someone can direct me to the latest one. i dont really want to put on another ROM because i hate restoring/redownloading everything on my phone unless its a real important update.
no one..??

The baseband version just means that it's been updated to improve it and to fix any problems that might have shown up in previous versions.
The latest firmware brings performance improvements, dual touch, and updates to Mediascape and Timescape among other things. It's up to you whether you want to update your firmware but I would recommend it.

I had the same problem. If you use AT&T, I may be able to help. When a text message (sms) gets too long it changes into an multimedia message (mms) like a sending a pic. For this you need your data connection working. When your message gets too long it should tell you that it is converting to mms.
What ended up being the problem for me was the APN settings commonly found here in xda. I don't know if that one is outdated now due to changing G speed networks or the whole smartphone/Android revolution, but it doesn't work for sending mms. I think it may be due to tracking separate data and message usage for billing.
Anyway, if you use AT&T you should have 2 APNs, not one. You should have Media Net and Media Net MMS. If you need the settings let me know, or use the "automatic search for network" function in settings/Sony Ericsson (I think that is the path. I'm on 2.2 now that doesn't have it) Make sure you delete the old APN first.
Let me know if this works or you need any help.
My partner had this problem. She fixed it by throwing the phone at a wall. And buying a Motorola
x10 running trip's MIUI. It rocks.

found it, the path is wireless & network settings>mobile networks>Access Point Names. In there it shows Media Net and Media Net MMS. only Media Net has a "radio button" next to it to select. Media Net MMS does not. but, either one i can click on and change settings. what are the settings suppose to be? that would be very helpful. also, what 2.2 rom do you have? is it stable and fully functional?

IF you go to the MENU/Settings/About Phone page at the top it should say, "Sony Ericsson" that item will retrieve your APN settings based on your sim card.
If that doesn't work for you or it's grayed out:
Service Provider NAME: MEdia Net MMS
- APN: wap.cingular
- Username: [email protected]
- Password: CINGULAR1
- MMSC http://mmsc.cingular.com
- MMS proxy wireless.cingular.com
- MMS port: 80
- MCC: 310
- MNC: 410
- APN Type: mms
I thought the X10 was only capable of using only 1 APN?
Although earlier reports claimed it uses 2.
Or is this Network Specific?
Nevermind it's not important now...
I had a huge problem getting my mms settings working and read a lot about it all over the interweb.
Looking at the settings above they should do WAP and MMS.
To get a radio button next to those settings just delete MMS from the APN type or do what I did and type "mms,default,supl" (without the quotes) in instead
The "Default" in the APN field places the Radio button next to it just as leaving the field blank.

I have tried messing with the APN's like you suggested, but they always automatically update themselves back to the correct Media Net and Media Net MMS. Proof is that the OP never manually put 2 APNs in, yet when he went to check they were already there. Which leads me to believe that his problems are not with the APN after all.
Maybe that's one of the differences in the X10a.... it can use 2 APNs. Mine works fine, and I don't have a radio button next to the MMS APN. I think the second MMS APN is active when data is off/wifi is on, and allows for separate tracking of data and MMS usage. Just my guess...

If you flash you will wipe your phone. You need to use the SE backup and restore app on your phone first. Also, if you don't have it, titanium backup or my backup pro are good. Search market.

I just want to make sure we're on the same page. we're talking about flashing the new baseband, right? flashing a new baseband will wipe the phone? I flashed the multitouch kernel and it didnt wipe the phone. i thought you had to pretty much load a new rom to wipe the data ??

Good question. Flashing the multitouch kernel was an add-on. I've never flashed just a new baseband. However, since you are having trouble that not everyone is having, I would do a complete install. That's just my opinion, and you should do a backup just in case anyways.
This very well may be an OS issue, but I figured I'd bring it up here in case it only pertains to the Titan.

I am trying to get my MMS to work on I-Wireless. Data works and everything, it's the MMS that's giving me a hard time. The HTC app doesn't seem to be setting the MMS up correctly, and I can't set it manually.

Actually I've had it fail to install the settings from my o2 sim, they've updated it twice since so it hasn't always worked as expected.
ive got the same problem. AT&T unlocked phone running on T-Mobile. wont sent mms
Hmm. And you've already tried setting it up in settings>cellular>apn settings?
Odd. There is probably some hidden diagnostic program, but I don't know of anyone who has found it. ##DATA# doesn't yield any settings to change, so it might be something else.
I had the same problem in the UK with O2 due to the fact that they wont support the phone yet as they have not released it.. I just put the settings into APN and it now sends and recieves MMS without a problem. I was so fustrated at first when O2 sent me a message saying to contact them for settings then told me they couldn't supply me with details.. Only had the phone for 4 days very happy with it now

If you're sim is from a main operator not a virtual provider a hard reset may fix the mms issue otherwise at the moment there isn't a wy to fix this without modding the registry, you could of course contact HTC and ask why connection setup wasn't provided on your phone.

I have ENERGY rom, pretty cool rom! Anyways I have an issue. I was using my usb tethering to download a different rom. It was speeding, 1mb/s
Then all of a sudden I started getting text messages from t mobil saying if I want to use tethering I need to pay 15 bucks a month. This was not the case before and I do not use tethering often.
Did I raise a red flag or is this just an OS glitch?
It's a t-mobile wanting you to pay thing, you can get around it, not that hard,
I know that but the free tethering feature is included in NRG rom, why would all of a sudden it stop working?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26908332&postcount=1
The app is free because it's a stock app but the service isn't free. It's not hard to comprehend..

Comprehend? lol Your not even understanding what I am asking, you should re-read what I asked. I asked, it was working before and now it is no longer working, why? Was it because I was tethering to my computer and was downloading a file that was downloading at an abnormally fast speed? File did not download, it stop half way, and that's when I started getting the t-mobil message.

Interesting, thank you hasoon2000 I do appreciate your time and help, your the best I will try that now and see how it goes. I am still curious, how can they block/bypass the free tethering hack?
Update-
I followed the instructions to the letter, and I am still unable to tether. I do have 2 questions that the guide does not answer.

7. If you are on T-Mobile, Scroll down and MUST select "Routing Fix".
7.1 Depending on your Carrier, you may need to select Routing Fix.
8. Tether away! (Just don't go over your data!)
Instructions number 6, I have 2 Generic ICS/JB, one called Generic ICS/JB wlan0 and Generic ICS/JB WLAN1. I went with 0.
Under APN, I see the new one I created (T-Mobil US) and I see the original one (T-Mobile Data), I can select between the 2. But I also see a third one that I can not select called T-Mobile MMS. I selected T-Mobile US, didn't work, went to T-Mobile Data, didn't work either.
I must be doing something wrong. Any ideas?
I was having the same problem but the APN trick alone worked. I created a new APN named "Sneaky", but I didn't set the MMSC, or even have the option for MMS Protocol. With these changes alone the stock app works again. I don't even use an aftermarket 1. All my other setting are the same as yours. Maybe having TMobile in the name? Seems stupid but not sure why it wouldn't work for you...

I have ENERGY rom, pretty cool rom! Anyways I have an issue. I was using my usb tethering to download a different rom. It was speeding, 1mb/s
Then all of a sudden I started getting text messages from t mobil saying if I want to use tethering I need to pay 15 bucks a month. This was not the case before and I do not use tethering often.
Did I raise a red flag or is this just an OS glitch?

Comprehend? lol Your not even understanding what I am asking, you should re-read what I asked. I asked, it was working before and now it is no longer working, why? Was it because I was tethering to my computer and was downloading a file that was downloading at an abnormally fast speed? File did not download, it stop half way, and that's when I started getting the t-mobil message.

My comprehension is fine. You get the message because Tmo detected that you're tethering without the tethering plan. So, like I said before, the app is free but the service is not. The work around that Hasoon informed us does work, for me anyway. Good luck.

You pointed out the obvious without providing a solution or an answer to my question. You did comprehended the 2nd time though and answered it, which I appreciate. I already know I am not paying for a service, I am merely curious as to why it stopped working. I figured they might have some sort of system that detects miss usage or something which you just now confirmed.
For whatever reason it is still not working after using the setting above. Somewhat angry at T-Mobil, they have screwed up my service for the most part of the year, and some idiot made a dmistake on my account, which resulted on the creation of a second account (not an add on line) a few years ago, which was put on military suspension (I'm not in the military and I did not put the hold) soon after it was opened, and now they are charging 154 bucks for using the line. I never even knew that line existed and I have had 3 reps tell me they screwed up yet they will not do anything about the fact that they sent me to collection without first discussing it with me. T-Mobil about to get sued on the first of November if it hits my credit, lawyer confirm I can sue them. Trying so hard to solve this issue with them and they just don't want to do anything about it even after admitting their mistake.
It's still not working, if its working for you and many others, why wouldn't it work for me? Should I delete the default APN?
Damn, that's sucks. If you have the 5gb data plan or even unlimited then you can ask if the tethering plan option is free. I believe another work around is to make the phone think that your tethering to another Android device. I seen that posted somewhere and will have to dig to find out how they achieved it using a laptop.
Anyone else can chime in if they already have that info available off hand.
