Hi guys,
I am seeking help to configure data connectivity on my HTC Evo running on Telus Canada. Voice and SMS work flawlessly but data is no go.
The one key thing that I've noticed is that the HTC Evo doesn't seem to have an APN config option. I have tried to re-adapt different configuration but I've had no luck so far.
If anyone is using HTC Evo on Telus in Canada, your knowledge and experience will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Hey how are you?
I have been looking around to see if anyone successfully is using the HTC Evo under Bell or Telus for a while now!!! I really wanna buy this phone from the states and use it in TO.
Was it hard to get it working under telus? Have you resolved the issues with the data yet?
I d really appreciate the help, thank you!
Me Too I want to buy the HTC EVO and I want to ask if it was easy to activate it under Telus
Hey guys,
Sorry I hadn't updated this thread. I now have HTC Evo working on Telus. Voice, SMS and Data. I initially had problems with slow data but with slight tweaking, I now have up 1700kbps download and 800kps upload speed. I feel so alive with this phone right now. Only glitch that I need to find a way around is not being able to use data while taking a call. Kinda dumb limitation but it doesn't bother me. I rarely use my phone for calls.
So yeah, get to work guys! The dream is indeed possible.

PS: First do your research on how to get Voice and SMS working or PM me if you need guidance, then we can start talking about Data in this thread. Godspeed!
I know this is an older thread (September) but I just wanted to re-check because no other forums posts anywhere ain Canada have anyone using an EVO on Telus. From what I ujnderstood, the CDMA format wasn't really unlockable and interchangable, so the DREAM PHONE EVO was out of our reach. Your news is exciting, but hard to believe. Can you offer any more details at all? Does Telus support foreign unlocked phones? WOW. if so.
Sorry to revive an old thread but I have the same problem as the first post on my EVO. Talk and SMS works great but I have no data at all... No 1x, no EvDO. What do I need to do to get it work? It's a great phone but I need my data connection.
I am fairly at ease with tools like QPST and QXDM so don't waste your time overexplaining things!
From what I understand, typically I am supposed to have at least 1x data without any username/password, just get authenticated by the network. Howerver it is not the case. No connection.
Please help me.
Any one have any thoughts?? Im having the same no data problem on bel i got it to the point once where it authenticated and then said protocoll errors. have not been able to get it to that point. and im ready to almost give up ;(

I can't find any information on flashing samsung vibrant to cricket. I don't care about a full flash, voice and text is fine for my purposes. I don't care about data or android market or any of that.
I have seriously been NON STOP looking for last 2 days with no luck. I checked the cricket forums and I searched the forums here without any luck. I am an amateur I am not going to lie.
But I have a very good general background in technology and, I have already rooted the phone. I was trying to follow a guide I found but honestly I am not 100% sure that even does what I want it to. QPST samsung vibrant but when I do it I cannot simultaneously connect both the phone and run the software. If software is running first my computer won't recognize the phone as a modem and if the phone is connected first the software freezes and I can't even close it with task manager, I have to reboot comp.
Any help at all would be appreciated. I don't even know if this is the right forum for this question and I am sorry if I put it in the wrong place but this is vexing me.
Does cricket even use sim cards? If they are not a GSM carrier, it would make it impossible to use the vibrant on their network/service

Cricket is cdma (sprint, Verizon, us cellular type radio, meaning no sim card) and the vibrant is gsm (meaning it uses a sim card).
The vibrant cannot and will not work with cricket.

Well question solved. Definately not the answer I wanted but that can't be helped.
Are there any nationwide carriers that use GSM available similar in price to cricket? I will be looking into this right after posting this question but I figure I might as well see if anyone knows any decent ones they can recommend. Basically, looking for cheapest possible with nationwide coverage.
I just need talk and text. Preferably no activation fee and no cost for sim but I know I am being overly optimistic with that lol. I also know that this forum isn't the place for that so any help is appreciated but I understand if no one has an idea.

I have an HTC Verizon droid incredible 4g LTE. I ordered a t-mobile sim card from Straight Talk. Cut it to size. Everything seems to work fine except for the MMS. I have incredibly slow bandwidth problems. Above the signal bar is a capital "E." I have thoroughly searched the forums for an answer. To no avail. Before going on to more frustrations I would like to ask this incredible community for help. Some times I will get a "G." I am totally at a loss. Modding it would be fine but I do not want to brick it. I have read on other sites that after modding it, I could play around with the band its on. Not sure. Any questions or for more info please let me know. I will close by saying that all the lone wolfs, dev teams, and all around geeks make this site the best. I want to say thank you to you all.:fingers-crossed:

well first welcome to the community, and about your pproblem, are you running stock? unrooted, and also if you want better band support try cm10 since that rom has tri band hsdpa, and about mms, google your service provider mms configuration
Okay so going the t-mobile route wasnt the smartest as far as wanting 3g. Also thank you so much for the quick reply. My phone is stock. My main goal with all this is to get picture messaging working and above all improve my network speeds. I drop calls like its 2000.
Hey everyone,
I do not roam in this forum, ever. As you might see I don't have an EVO LTE, as much as I would want to.
Here's the thing. I want to see if I can get a good condition EVO LTE to hold me off for 6 months to a year so I can use my Desire for testing ROMs only. It would have been easy except for 2 things: a) I am in Canada so I have to ask TELUS whether it will work on their network; b) it's a CDMA phone. TELUS has CDMA network, which may help.
So I got an email back from TELUS support pointing me to this page http://mobility.telus.com/en/BC/phones-and-devices/devicecompatibility.shtml?eVar6=link. He asked me to input an IMEI and that would see whether it is compatible with the TELUS network.
So I'm trying to find an EVO LTE IMEI, but... I'm almost afraid to ask, but can someone point me in the direction of one? Is the IMEI an extremely, extremely private thing? The kind of thing that if it falls into the wrong hands, it can wreck your phone? Because this would help me greatly, but if it's supposed to be private and secure like that, then I'm fine without.
Sorry if I sound like a noob, I've just never had to deal with the serials and IMEIs except in S-OFFing my Desire, during which you have to provide a serial number (I practically have it memorized by now).
Thanks guys.

Your IMEI is extremely sensitive information. someone who gets it can mark it lost or stolen and literally make your phone a brick. on top of that they could switch it to their account ( fake person ) and make an claim for it being lost. i sell cellphones for a living and many people try that. do not give it out unless your on the phone with legit customer service.
Plus that link has no https:// secure on it. i wouldnt trust it.
IMEI is private and you shouldnt have one less you own the device...

Hey all,
So I've done some searching here, but I cannot find a concise, definitive answer to my questions. I'm buying a first phone for my daughter for Christmas, mainly for use as an MP3 and video player, but also for emergencies. She's still young, so when I say emergency we were leaning towards ONLY FOR A 911 TYPE EMERGENCY, as I believe those are placed even if the phone isn't activated. Anyway, her mom and I are on a GSM carrier so if we did activate it, we'd likely do it there, or a very cheap CDMA provider like Page Plus. So if I buy a phone off eBay or Craigslist today, regardless of whatever HBOOT/BOOTLOADER or ROM it has on it, can I still root it, use HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader, the toolkit to S-OFF, and then flash a 4.X ROM and use GSM if I desire?
Thanks for any help! If this will work then I'll go this route and she'll be very excited!!

The answer is yes, you can do that... the phone will work for E911 calls without being activated. You can also unlock, S-OFF, root, ROM and everything else like you said, although the Rezound is a little more complicated than to S-OFF than just using a toolkit it is doable with some homework and a little Linux knowledge, but to be honest, GSM works fine (Edge data only, 3G/4G higher possible with significant tweaking on some GSM carriers) on the stock 4.5.605.14 ROM.
If you know you will likely be activating this on a GSM carrier, why not get a phone designed for that right off the bat? Several unlocked GSM phones can be purchased for around the same price as the Rez, like the Galaxy Nexus, Sony Xperia S, HTC Sensation, Samsung GS2 GT-I9100 or similar phones. Don't get me wrong, I love the Rezound, but for ease of use on a GSM carrier with full 3G data you migh be better off looking at a phone suited to that purpose.
Yes, it's doable, just know what you are in for...
Thanks you.SO much! I've done wire tricks on some phones before and I think I'm learning that is the challenge here, but I should be good. I appreciate the other thoughts as well. To your question, well, we have poor GSM coverage in a number of spots around here, even we my wife and I using it, and CDMA seems like a good emergency precaution.
Thanks again so much!!

Cool... Note that activating the Rezound on PagePlus requires significant "tweaking" and a donor PagePlus phone to clone the ESN/MEID, PagePlus will not activate the Rezound as it is, neither will any other CDMA carrier but Verizon, and even then they won't do it on a prepaid plan. People have mentioned before that Cricket will do it, but the results have been mixed.
As long as you are aware of the issues and what you might need to do, go for it. Although for use as a video player, I would recommend an extended battery, the screen time on a standard battery is >2 hours. :/

Excellent points. Yeah, I had a S3 on PP for a while and it was a pain - actually CDMA overall is a pain to me so I probably won't do it. Per your advice - looking for an extended battery right now!
