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

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.
I have an Evo 4g LTE with the latest flash of this ROM and I can not send any picture text. Text... text work fine however. I switched my phone service to Ting and they require that I edit the mmsc (I think it is) address from the factory sprint using ##3282#. I did that and then flashed the phone. I "searched this thread" for mms and this is the closet thing that I can find to the issue I am having (post #74)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40378959&highlight=mms#post40378959
There was also a mention of AOSP uses 3/4g to send the pics even when logged onto wifi, and only another AOSP flashed phone will get them.
What should I try and do to solve this? Should I do what's in the link and change the Mobile network type setting?
And if you're wondering I have not posted more than 10x's so that's why I'm asking here instead of in the development thread
Use go sms... That's what everyone has said in those threads... Good luck!

Some roms are setup to send mms over wifi, but most require mobile data to be enabled like you said. I would try that first. If it still doesn't work, I've fixed it before by installing Handcent, setting it as the default mms app (inside Handcent settings somewhere), sending a few mms with that app, then uninstalling and going back to the stock messaging app. Mms worked as expected after that.

Okay, thanks guys
Well I dl go sms pro but it did not transfer my contact list, when I try and add a contact it does not save it and it does not send a reg text or mms. I can't find a settings menu either. I've searched for a how to guide here, android forums and google but can't find a dummy guide. What do I need to do?
I have a Sprint LG G2 flashed to Page Plus. I've been having to use "Android Messaging" app because MMSC settings for Verizon don't seem to work. Has anyone here had any success using native MMS on a flashed Sprint LG G2 to Page Plus?

For anyone who is wondering, I figured this out. Download the Textra app from the Play Store on your LG G2. Open Textra app. Go to MMS Settings. Uncheck all boxes EXCEPT "Activate Mobile Data" and "Manually Configure APN."
In the APN settings, enter mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
Leave MMS Proxy and MMS Proxy Port empty.
MMS should now work on your LG G2 flashed to Page Plus Celluar. NOTE: Apparently Verizon MMS picture size limit is 1.2 MB, so make sure your pictures are downsized to 1.2 MB or less or MMS will not work.
Hello, I have a HTC One m8 bought on AT&T, now under Cricket Wireless. I have had this issue with both carriers! I have edited the APN settings for Cricket - no luck and when on AT&T no luck sending MMS with Hoverchat app (free). Does anyone know how I can get mms to work with hoverchat?
If there is no fix is there another bubble chat head texting app like hoverchat?
Also, I am on Android 5.0.2 (it updated Friday) previously I was on 4.4.2 I think.
APN settings:
http://mmsc.cricketwireless.net
proxy.crickwireless.net
I have also tried aiowireless.net
Can you send MMS with the stock messaging app?

Yes, pretty much any app, but Hoverchat. I am using YAATA now. I wish Hoverchat would work I like that better.
Then it's probably not the APN settings. It has to be something with the app itself
So I've been searching around and haven't been able to find an answer yet, that actually works. I'm using my G3 on Sprint for a bit while my G6 gets fixed, and it's on rooted ZVC. I apparently live in a Sprint dead zone, so WiFi calling is a must, but MMS doesn't work over WiFi with the default APN setting for MMSC. If I use an app like Textra, I can force the correct URL, but I have been unable to change/add the correct APN to the system in order to use Android Messaging, for example. I can get to the APN settings screen, but no options to add or edit. ##DATA# lets me change the setting for the stock messaging app only. Any suggestions?
