Can anyone help me, my note 2 is now working with tmobile and i need to change the APN so i can have data, i used the new CASUAL 478B and it worked the first time.
You need to go to the thread specifically for using the phone on other carriers. I dont have a link to it right now but if you go look in Droidstyles guide in the Android Development section there is a link to that thread in his guide.

ED01 has a check to see if you are on another carrier. you need to downgrade. Try an AOSP rom.

Idk about metro but on cricket if you're on the android plan a simple change in the apn settings will do the trick ...try that with your phone.

Has anybody been able to successful transfer another non metro phone over without having to metro flash it??
whaaa?/?
I have a rooted amaze. Last month I was able to tether fine and now I get the upsell page . I've tried freezing apps . No luck . I've tried at least 12 tethering apps no luck . So what's the fix to tether besides paying 14.99 a month for my data I already payed for.
There's a thread regarding this issue. But I'll answer your concern.
You need to make a new APN same as the Tmobile one but a new one. Set it as Default. Then delete the Tmobile one or remove the default flag from it. Then you can use your hot spot without those problems popping up.
Edit...didn't even have to use the search engine..

Ive read that already,
Ive done allot of reading. My phone came with that APN setting. For **** n giggle I tried it any ways and it didnt work.
If the Samsung Galaxy 2 can Freeze it , there has to be something similar for our phone I would think .
Did you delete the stock APN or remove the default flag from it?

All you have to do is clear the "apn type" field of the "t mobile data" apn settings. Why bother creating a whole new apn if this much easier method works? Just curious if there's any particular advantage... Mines been working just to e using this method, as have the amazes my two co workers use. Mines rooted (worked with the new ICS Rom and gingerbread alike), and my two co workers' amazes are completely stock. This method I've used seems pretty fool proof.

I haven't tried that yet Ill try that and report back later.
If you have the 5gb data plan or higher, you can get free tethering. Just go into a tmobile store and tell them you want the free tethering. Thats what I did at least.
Good **** changing the apn works for me.
And I went to go use it again ..... No go does not work now.

When I do that I only get 2G data. But it does work.
Read the older guide, but it does not appear to be applicable. Wanted to put this out on top for others to read and maybe point me in the right direction.
Thanks for the help in advance.

Yes, that is the thread I was referring to when I posed the question. I went through that thread earlier and I couldn't find a few of the files. Specifically the metro apk's and the autocut (no longer available on google apps).
Also in that thread the Metro PCS files are no longer needed for a few others but the reasons and/or installation of the replacements are not explained which is what i was looking for. (page 3 and page 5 I think). Says MetroPCs apks no longer needed. So I don't know what "just flash your m.ip and ppp settings with qspt" means or how to do this as on page 3.
Alright, first let me say that I am very appreciative of the roms we have. I just wanted to know what it would take to port roms from other carriers to use on Verizon. When roaming through all the forums, the amount of flashing one could do would be enormous. Any detailed info would be great. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Yes, I believe all you need to do are swap out a couple libs and edit the APN info, but there may be a little more besides that.
Thanks imnuts. Could you maybe give me some advice on how to proceed?How would I go about tracking down the libs? Would I see what was in our stock rom, and check the differences in a alternate carriers rom lib folder? I understand the apn settings somewhat, but as you can tell, I am new to having a phone that is on multiple carriers, and Samsung. I have themed some of my own stuff, but haven't done anything like this. The reason I ask is because I have seen people here saying that they were on jellybomb, and others. Any adive would be helpful.

I'm doing a Verizon to tmo right now. All the info you need should be right here. Also to expand make sure you still run a Verizon radio and kernel. By the way the people on jellybomb just flashed ROM then Verizon kernel and radio. The link above is how to do it correctly as imnuts mentioned.

Thank you so much for the reply. I am trying to wrap my head around this so bear with me. I am not going to try it until I completely understand what I am doing. From what I read,
1. I can flash a att/t-mo rom.
2. Run the rom checking script(make sure it passes)
3. Flash kernel, and radio, and boot rom.
4. Check csc's, and build prop, change files accordingly.
5. Check data networks, and gps function.
5. profit?
Is it that easy? I am sure I am oversimplifying this. If it is that easy, could you point me in the right direction for the radio. I did a quick search on xda, and google without finding it. Thank you for holding my hand : )
By the way kintwofan, I pmed you the same message, if you feel l I ke it is spam, delete, and thanks for getting me this far.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Okay to do it correctly you will need to do a little work. You will need to edit your build.prop and the files in /system/csc
to reflect Verizon.
Next remove the tmo or sprint specific app (from link). Then you will want to get the Verizon specific apps (from that link) and put them in /system/apps.
If you don't do these things then the check zio will show incompatable. Then just make sure you are on a Verizon kernel and radio (I'll find link but it's in development thread)
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
That helps tremendously. I will hunt down the radio myself. You provided more than you should have to. That thread was just a little over my head, and I will reread many times before trying. Coming from the rezound, this is like a very complex, and new heaven. Thank you again.

This patch does work on at&t roms but they have to be based off the latest dmc3 international base just flash the rom patch and the modem
And you are good to go
I have noticed that any ROMs based on the international base have a problem with putting my Note II into roaming whenever I am connected to my network extender at home. Any ROMs built on the Verizon base work just fine. My question is: can I backup my modem settings with TWRP, flash a ROM built on the international base and then restore the modem as the last step to get around this issue?
Sorry if this is a noob question, but I am new to Android and custom ROMs.

The modem stays with every flash until you flash a new one, you don't have to worry about it. As for what you want to do I don't think it would matter about the Network Extender, everything you would need would be built in to the international Roms on our forums, but I'm not 100% sure as I've never came across this before.

Well sting as how the modem carries over no matter what you flash then you wouldn't have a problem there. How does the extender work? Do you connect like WiFi or does the phone automatically pick it up or do you have a special app? I don't think you'd have assn issue as long as you stayed on TW but AOSP you may depending on how the extender works.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium HD app
The network extender connects to a home wireless network so you are basically doing VOIP when connected to it. There is no app to use, the phone automatically uses the extender when it is available.

Then it should work with any ROM.
The only thing I have found is this:

The only time problems were experienced was on AOSP, and that was only due to a leaked modem that probably wasn't optimized yet, so I would bet you won't have any issues

Thanks for the link. That is pretty much exactly what happens for me with any AOSP/International base ROM. I am guessing that network extenders are a Verizon/US only device and perhaps that explains why only Verizon based ROMs properly recognize the extender. The extender itself actually works and my phone calls properly get routed through the extender. The phone however is always on roaming when connected to the extender, so if data roaming for example is turned off things get a little difficult. It isn't a huge deal really, it just keeps me from using some of the more interesting AOSP type ROMs that are available.

You could ask Scott if there is a fix for Cleanrom and ask Beans the same thing. You could also ask in the AOSP threads if there is any way for that to be worked on, its very very odd....

It may be something that was either taken out to make the ROM more sleek or not added to the international base.
