Is there anyway to flash the Droid Razr to metro pcs and if so can someone provide me with a link? If I'm posting in the wrong place just let me know.
i'm thinking you may need more than just flashing for that.
Do you know what I might need then? This verizon bill is killing me. I know people have successfully flashed the razr to Cricket. I mean I know I'm gonna need to root kit which isn't a problem I've done that kind of thing plenty of times and I've just been procrastinating on doing it on my Razr for some reason.
i know how to flash it to metropcs just cant get it into the metropcs system so if someone can help me as far as getting it into the system i can definately help them on the falshing part

I found this
http://www.cricketusers.com/verizon...-cricket-wireless-talk-text-mms-internet.html
At the moment this is a placeholder for notes. The tutorial might have to be finished by someone who has more time than me to work on this device. Mine is on Verizon now. I will probably poke at it a little bit more when I get home and back to a normal schedule, but throughout December, it's going to be hectic for me. I'm going to try and add pictures so someone will have some knowledge going into this where I had none. If someone can get a hold of a Bionic tutorial, this might be similar.
Currently talk and text works but 3g data drops out. It works when it's connected but wants to cycle off and on A LOT.
As a good rule of thumb, always try to backup your settings before modifying them.
DIAG MODE
Verizon Droid RAZR Diagnostic Mode How To
NOTES (semi based off Thunderbolt tutorial)
CDMA WS 3.5 or later will give you more options and another method of writing data profiles to the device.
QPST does work HOWEVER you cannot read and then write the original settings to the phone (after modification of course). You have to start fresh and write ONLY.
CDMA AUTO (PRL) MODE (info from RLockwich)
Go into *#*#4636#*#* - Went into phone information (Set to CDMA Only PRL, DNS check allowed, Query CFU enabled).
QPST
Add the port for the device if required under QPST configuration. It's going to be the DIAG port. Just check device manager to see what port that is.
Use the Service Programming application under the QPST folder to access the phone. Connect to it but don't read.
Now follow this tutorial to write the proper information:
http://www.cricketusers.com/flashing...s-cricket.html
Write to the phone. Reboot it once all the writing is done and catch the boot to put it back in DIAG mode. If you don't it's no big deal, but you will have to power it down and get it back in DIAG mode before continuing.
CDMA WS
Open up CDMA WS and connect to the port with the RAZR. Go to the security tab and send the SPC 000000. Then go to the memory tab and send the DROID NV items which can be found at whiterabbit.org. It should write the NV items and fix the data.
UPDATE: The following might be required
Go to the "Other" tab and navigate to "R-UIM" then click read.
Change it to "NV Only" and write to phone. It should say Successful
Close out CDMA WS and reboot the phone.
Phone Settings (info from RLockwich)
Go into the ##PROGRAM select option 14 for LTE I turned off LTE bppanic, LTE Movement detection, and disabled Class 1,2,2 APNS
Additional Instructions (info from RLockwich)
Just went through all the settings again, I hope everyone can have as much luck as I just did. I was thinking, and I remember seeing the end of the thunderbolt tutorial says the last step is to remove the 4G LTE microSIM. I had tried that before early on when I first flashed it, but when I removed the card, it showed No Sim, no network connection and a SIM symbol with a exclamation point. I just tried it again a hour ago...Pulled the SIM, showed no network and then I rebooted the phone... FIVE times on and off all with immediate and STABLE 3G at 10 minutes a time between rebooting. FIXED. Done messing with it.
UPDATE 12/19 - After this last post it's been 4 days since we cracked the 3G cycling issue, and my phone is working excellent! I'm very glad I was able to be a part of this and get credit work any work I put into this.
Dina's Notes:
Got everything working THANKS to Chris and RLokwich! Oh, and for those of you that are not yet successful with this flash, just re-read the entire thread. Everything you need is HERE!
It was not all smooth in the beginning.
Insights:
1) No need for BP tools. If your phone is on the homescreen, just connect it to the cable, choose PC mode and set up the port in HW.
2) Mine took like 5 master resets before 3g showed up. So in case you are pulling your hair as to why 3g not showing up, master reset the phone. Turn on wifi. Bypass activation screen (backwards C method works if you keep trying for like 2 minutes), go through the set up pages and 3g will be there.
Everything is stable so far. 3g working like a charm.
Discovered a secret!
If you do not get 3g up, make sure to Enable at least one APNs in the LTE settings (##PROGRAM menu)

MMS (needs to be tested)
The only thing I've realized now that is wrong, is no MMS. I have MMS through the tutorial on bypassing the apn through GoSMS, but I would very much like to not have it to be that way. I thought early on in this flash that I did have MMS, I think I was just being a smart ass so I changed some settings in ##PROGRAM for the SMS/MMS part that I copied from the Thunderbolt tutorial. I don't know if I messed something up. I was also thinking I've seen people having two Cricket apns? One for internet and one for MMS, does anyone know if that may fix it? I was thinking it may be that, but in my apn for cricket already, I edited it and filled in all the MMS settings for that APN. Maybe that's something I did wrong, I don't know.
If anyone does have working MMS on their flashed Razr, please post anything that might help us. Please post all your settings in SMS/MMS in ##PROGRAM and into your APN edit settings for Cricket APN you have for MMS (if you have anything filled out in the MMS blanks)
##Program

Try adding an APN for Cricket's settings or modifying the existing APNs to reflect Cricket's MMS settings.
this is what i used to get my phone on metro but the only issue im having is getting the phone itself into metropcs inventory....
i have a droid 3 esn im willing to use or if theres a way to just get the razr into the system that would be the better method

You have a 15 digit imei number correct?
Just remove the last number and google for a meid or esn converter
Enter your 14 digit 99 # and hit enter
you should get a 256 #
Smiles and good luck!
I had my evo 4g on Straight Talk, so I knew how to do it but the rezound is different because it has two ports.
I copied all the information from my evo 4g to rezound because I was not able to *228 activate like with the evo 4g. ( I have two phone now with the same esn number on straight talk, I keep the evo turned off with battery out.)
* you will not be able to *228, so you have to manually put in the settings.
What you need:
* CDMA Straight Talk donor phone & service plan (phone model ends in C for CDMA), and a 30-day unlimited service plan. For example, you can get the LG 220C for $50 with a 30-day plan, makes the phone cost just $5 bucks http://www.walmart.com/ip/Straight-T...ished/17113676 Never turn this phone on or put the battery in it. You just need the red card with the esn number on it.

http://www.filedropper.com/rezoundphone
This guide was for Flash VZW HTC Rezound/Vigor Full Flash to Cricket Wireless but it works the same and credit does to jtheis23 at XDA. from kr8zeivan's post.
First make sure you install HTC Sync for your drivers, put phone is DIAG mode (##3424#) and pull up you device manager to unsure your phone is recognized. You should see two ports:
HTC Diagnostic Interface
HTC Diagnostic Interface 9k
I understand that 8k (HTC Diagnostic Interface) is voice and 9k is net/web. If you are all good its ok to uninstall HTC Sync. Make sure you disable any anti-virus that may be running as it will remove CDMA WS it will think it a trojan because of key generator. Next I used CDMA WS to unlock phone, write NV only, write NAM 1 & 2 and write prl. If you are using the cracked version click on the yellow round icon with a small star and it will launch key and open program. WS 2.7 can use ports 1-25 so make sure you have your device connected to ports 25 or under.
1. Connect to HTC Diagnostic Interface port from the MAIN tab. Go to SECURITY tab look for SPC area (Do not read) just
enter 000000 click on SPC then click send. You should get a message saying your phone is unlocked.
2. Go to OTHER tab look for R-UIM Config: Select NV only then click on write. Should get a message saying change was successful. You can now write your prl.
3. Look for PRL on the OTHER tab should be just above R-UIM. Make sure it stays in "universal" and NAM1 and click write
load your preferred prl it should say prl written successfully. Then do the same for NAM 2. Click on MAIN tab and disconnect.
4. Connect to HTC Diagnostic Interface - 9k port from MAIN tab. Go to SECURITY tab look for SPC area (Do not read) just enter 000000 click on SPC then click send. You should get a message confirming you are unlocked. Repeat steps 2 and 3.
5. Go to MAIN tab and disconnect. Reboot phone. On my first reboot I notice it did not write but reverted the prl back to Verizon's 58008 prl. However when I continued to write the Nam info on the next steps it stuck. I don't know why.
6. After reboot put phone back into DIAG mode and reconnect to 8k port go to SECURITY and unlock the phone. Go to NAM tab. From here I was able to read from phone and write without errors. Read from Nam 1. Update MIN/MDN, MCC (310) MNC (00), local SID (whatever yours is)/NID (65535)/IMSI (xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) make sure you replace the X's with your area code and MIN. I used PRL enabled, System Standart, Otapa enabled. Write to phone. Repeat steps for Nam 2. Go to MAIN tab and disconnect.
7. Connect to HTC Diagnostic Interface - 9k port. Go to SECURITY tab and unlock phone. Go to NAM tab and repeat step six. Write to phone. Go to MAIN tab and disconnect. Reboot phone. After reboot from phone go to settings >Wireless networks> Mobile Networks> Network mode> Change to CDMA only. Go back to home screen. From dialer press *#*#4636#*#* and call. Go into Phone information and set preferred network type to CDMA auto (PRL). Press turn off radio (this may take a few seconds) then turn radio on (this may take a few seconds) exit. You should now have talk and text. (My rezound is rooted and I downloaded LTE switch here to change the radio to cdma prl auto)
8. Put phone back into DIAG mode ##3424# call and to to WS 2.7 to unlock only. Go to QPST and connect to 8k port. Read from phone .For me I was able to follow the QPST tutorial with no problem and update both profiles did M.IP and PPP and wrote to phone with no issues. Reboot. When I tried doing the same on 9k port I got "Serious error encountered write aborted". I tried doing it without reading just writing and still got the error message. So I finished the EVDO settings for 9k port in DFS.
Follow the pics for dfs settings.
9. Put phone in DIAG mode go to WS 2.7 to unlock phone. Launch DFS 3.3.0.7 (I used Demo version and it worked for me) connect only to port 9k do not read! Go to PROGRAMMING tab select DATA tab enter PPP UID (your#@vzw3g.com.com) pwd (vzw) write. Then Go to M.IP go to Selected Profile Settings enter NAI (your#@vzw3g.com). Set Prim HA address to 0.0.0.0, set Sec HA address to 0.0.0.0 go to Share Secret User Profile. AAA shared secret (verizon) HA shared secret (verizon). Write current profile settings. At this point you may get failed to write messages at the bottom. Just ignore them. Repeat these steps for NAM2. Press Reset upper right hand corner. If your phone does not reboot on its own reboot it. If you want you can go back into DFS and read phone from PROGRAMMING and DATA tab to see if your PPP settings stuck. Do the same for M.IP if they did not try repeating the process. I had to do it a couple of times got error messages but sure enough they wrote to phone and I was successful in getting data 3g on phone.
Grats on getting it to work on Verizon. I also have thought about doing this but just wish there was a way to get their 4g service
I got it working on straight talk with an att sim on hspa. Still want to tweak with it more to get my speeds better and connection more stable.

I have a at&t sim card from straight talk on order. I was going to give it a try also, since all you do is transfer the number over. I want that 4g too, but like the $45 for everything.

Where do I get the info to update these fields if I never turn on the donor phone to obtain it's phone number/info?
Straight talk gives you the phone number after you activate the phone with the meid. Phone doesn't need to be on to do this I don't think.

isn't this cloning the esn, which is illegal?

The min is all you need and you can get it when you call straight talk and activate, like the post by anubis2k3 states.
When you get ready, I will help with that part.

That's what flashing is. I pay for the service but use what phone I what, so How is that wrong? I payed for the phones, so I use what I want.

Agreed. Not illegal. In fact, it was ruled that modifying any electronic device by the user is legal. However, the manufacturer has the right to not accept the device under warranty after said modifying.

You was able to get the esn and prl saved, correct. When you look at the settings what do you have. It should look like the pictures for the zip file.
At step 7 did you go to the market and download the lte switch and change to CDMA prl auto only?
I looked at the guide and I did not explain how to change the esn on the phone. This was the only way I was able to change my esn on my rezound.
Part2
Changing the MEID...
1.Dial ##3424# on your phone and plug it into your computer.
2.Open QPST Configuration and connect to the HTC COM port.
3.Open the EFS Explorer client using QPST Configuration
4.Make a folder called "open sesame door" in the root directory of the phone.
5.Restart your phone and connect to it again the same way. This time, the "nvm" folder will be unlocked in EFS Explorer.
5.Open the "nvm" folder and copy the "0" and "1943" files to your computer. The file named "0" contains your flipped ESN, and the file named "1943" contains your flipped MEID.
6.open with a hex edit.Change the ESN/MEID to whatever you like (make sure it's flipped) in the files and copy the files back to the phone. Restart the phone, and you're good to go!
Note: A "flipped" ESN or MEID means that the ESN or MEID is reversed in groups of two. For example, if your phone's MEID were A1000012345678, it would become 78 56 34 12 00 00 A1 when flipped. The same applies for the ESN.
7. Delete file 0 and 1943 on the phone. The drag your edited files back to phone.
8. Refresh to make sure you copied the files.
9. “adb reboot” to reboot the phone.
10. Delete the “open sesame door” folder.
11. After done, check whether esn is good.
Still nothing. No voice. Try to send a text and I get cause code 65535 error class 3. Pretty sure it did that before anyway though.

Change those setting that I sent to you and let me know.
Update: Watt19 has been helping me with this. Tonight I finally got 3G working nicely but still can't call or text. Is it possible for data to work while having the wrong meid?
What happens if I turn on the donor phone to copy settings?

should be in the zip file.
If anyone has an MEID starting with a letter A, can you look in settings/about phone/phone identity and see if the letters are uppercased or lowercase? Not sure if it even matters but mine are lowercase and just seems odd.

That does not matter. Mine is the same way.
Okay so I just wanted to help out anyone else who wanted to get their DNA flashed to PagePlus since there are no (complete / dedicated) guides for this. Also, I figure I'd save a couple of people ~$20 - $50 to pay to have their phones flashed. I'm no expert at this, but I did get voice, sms and 3G (see below) data working. I know how to get MMS working (natively) but I am only familiar on how to do it with Cyanogenmod / CM-based ROMs (I'm on ViperDNA). So here we go. (Sorry for the lack of pictures, I'm just short on time right now.)
What you'll need:
Phone Information: Know your MIN, MDN and SID. You can get this information from PagePlus.
HTC Sync. You can get it here.
CDMA Workshop 2.7. Get the full version.
HTC Diag drivers (read through for this, download below).
PagePlus PRL files (download below).
A stock DNA, or at least one running a stock ROM like this. It's needed to access Diagnostic Mode.
An unactivated Verizon 4G LTE Micro SIM card (you can get one here for $5). This is critical.
Once you have all of this ready, you can get to flashing!
Make sure you have everything prepped. Get your PagePlus account setup and activated (phone number and plan). You won't be able to add your phone to your account specifically yet, but you will put the number in service. Also, make sure you've got the SIM card with you as well. DO NOT PUT THE SIM IN THE PHONE YET.
Install HTC Sync if you haven't already. This will install the HTC Drivers for you.
Connect your phone to your computer and let all the drivers install.
Once completed, go to the phone dialer and dial ##3424#. This will put the phone in diagnostic mode. Windows will then install the HTC DIAG and HTC DIAG 9k drivers. Windows found and installed the drivers for me, so they may work for you. If the installation fails, just follow the instructions to install the DIAG drivers here. (Note: The Device Manager won't say HTC USB Modem, it'll say HTC Diagnostic Interface (COMX) & HTC Diagnostic Interface - 9k (COMX).)
Once installed, enter ##3424# on your DNA's keypad again if necessary, go to the Device Manager and check if the two HTC Diagnostic ports are listed under LPT/COM Ports without the yellow triangle. If there's no error triangle you're good to go.
Take note of the COM port that the "HTC Diagnostic Interface - 9k" diagnostic interface is on. This is what we'll be writing to.
You just got past the first hurdle. Now it's time to start actually flashing the phone.
Open up CDMA Workshop. Hopefully you'd have had this downloaded by now.
Connect to the COM port that HTC Diagnostic Interface - 9k is on. Click connect. YOU CANNOT CONNECT TO THE REGULAR (NON-9k) HTC DIAGNOSTIC INTERFACE'S PORT. This is normal.
The status bar at the bottom of the window will say "Ready..." if you are connected. Click read. If everything on the left hand side of the window populates, you're good.
Now for these next parts, I'm going to give my own experience. I had issues with the phone not responding to the write commands (it appeared) so I'd always write everything multiple times just to be safe. I'd also have to enter the SPC unlock code numerous times throughout working on the phone. It was quite annoying. Settings stuck though, which was good.
Go to the Security tab. Look for the SPC section. Enter "000000" (without quotes) into the box above the Read and SPC buttons. Then click SPC > Send. you'll then get a message saying the phone has been unlocked.
Go to the Other tab. Look under RU-IM. Click the drop down box and select "NV-only".
In the same tab go to the PRL box. "NAM1" should be selected in the drop down box. Under it click the Write button and browse to the folder with the downloaded PagePlus PRLs. I recommend choosing to write "52711.prl" as that's the one that worked for me. Write the PRL to NAM1.
Click the drop down box and select NAM2. Write the same PRL to it as well.
Switch the the NAM tab. Click the Read button at the bottom of the box. The fields should populate with data.
Overwrite the MIN field with the info PagePlus gave you. Enter your phone number into Dir_Number (the field to the right of MIN). then go down to SID and replace that number with the SID PagePlus gave you. Write the data.
Click read to ensure the data was written. Go back to the Main tab and then go to Mode > Reset. Disconnect from CDMA Workshop and reboot your phone.
Once rebooted, connect the phone to your PC again and enter DIAG Mode (##3424#). Open up CDMA workshop and connect to the appropriate COM port. Read the data and ensure everything in the NAM tab is what you entered. If it is correct, you may disconnect end get out of DIAG Mode.
Alright, here's where it gets changed up. Wifi was not working for me on the stock ROM that I flashed, so I flashed my DNA to ViperDNA after these steps (which I recommend). If wifi is working for you, you can just continue then.
Open up the Play Store and search for LTE On/Off (for the HTC Thunderbolt). Install it.
Open it up, scroll down to the radio settings and select CDMA auto (PRL). The settings may not stick at first. Just keep applying it and turn the radio on and off. (When I would select it, it would change to CDMA + EvDo/LTE and I'd have to keep toggling it and selecting CDMA auto (PRL) until it stuck).
Enter airplane mode for a minute and then disable it. Wait a minute or two. If the signal bars show up without the roaming sign, you're good. Go to Settings > Mobile Data. You should see your data mode set to CDMA (on ViperDNA at least). DO NOT EDIT THIS.
Shut your phone off. Insert your SIM card. Turn your phone on.
Open up LTE On/Off and make sure that it's still set to CDMA auto (PRL). You should be getting text messages (to check, just use Google Voice and send a text to your number). Call *22890 or *22891. It may not work. Wait a bit though as it may start auto activating for you without needing to actually open the phone app or anything (this happened for me). It'll activate the phone with Verizon Prepaid (obviously not PagePlus) BUT THIS IS NORMAL. Let the phone finish activating.
Make a call and listen to the instructions. It'll say something about your activation PIN being defaulted to the last 4 digits of your number, and to press 1 for English texting or something. Just press one.
Congratulations, your phone is flashed. You should now have voice, sms and 3G working.
If 3G isn't working for you, kick your phone into airplane mode for a bit and then disable it. Also toggle Mobile Data on and off once or twice. Eventually (within 15 minutes) 3G will start working.
Extended Notes
If for some reason the "52711.prl" list results in a roaming signal, try flashing one of the other lists included in the download. Make sure you are writing to BOTH NAM1 and NAM2.
If the HTC Diag drivers don't work for you / are not recognized, install PdaNet and then get the diagnostic drivers from there.
I am not 100% sure if this will work, so if any CM/CM-based ROM users can confirm this that'd be great. I used this same method on my Rezound to get MMS working on PagePlus. Just do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41981275&postcount=172.
Can I ask those of you who have flashed their DNAs to PagePlus using this guide to please report back with 3G speeds (post a picture using the SpeedTest.net app)? Thanks! I just want to make sure 3G is working as best as it possibly can. So far speeds are pretty fast for me though.

I would never have figured out how to do this without the guide on flashing the Rezound to PagePlus from javamaan, Yura80, watt19, AsianCajun and the other guys in that thread. Also dhaval1's reply to a thread that I randomly came by also helped. And I'd also like to thank the guys from those threads and other places here on XDA who got these files onto the forums for use!
Also, HUGE thanks to CapnChaos and jeanr464 for solving the MMS problem!
It would probably be a good idea to omit

Thanks for the advice. The Rezound tutorial also stated that so I didn't think it'd be a real issue. I updated the guide though. Hopefully some people will find it of use.
I have been trying to do this for the past 3 weeks! Wow, it's a damn shame I caved and paid someone to do it, you really broke it down to a science!
JDA, can you post screen shots from dfs of of the data and mobile ip tabs? Blank out any of your numbers or other personal information.

I never used DFS for this but here are the screenshots from those tabs.
JDA, thanks for the posting. Seems a bit different than other profiles used, but also works.
Thanks JDA, a quick question does this mean we need the stock ROM only for flashing the prl, and after that we can move to any other rom as long as it support Verizon network?

I am curious how similar the process is for flashing to Selectel? I have seen a few people around say that a phone setup to work on page plus should work without modification on selectel but I also understand page plus is prepaid and selectel is postpaid in terms of network access so I wonder about that a little.
Sorry for the late reply, hopefully you already did this though so I'll make an update for future users:
I was wrong. You only need a ROM with the stock phone app. I'm on ViperDNA and I found I can easily enter diag mode. I stated that because with past experiences on my Rez, diag mode could not be accessed through Cyanogenmod 10.1's dialer (so I had to revert to stock).

MMS Problem
I used this guide to flash my HTC Droid DNA to PagePlus With 3G and Talk and Text. I cannot get MMS to work for some reason. Can someone help me.Thank you in advance.
Thanks In Advance.
Talk- Works
Text- Works
3G- Stable/2.42 MBPS Lowest Speed
MMS- Not Working
Thanks for the guide.
I can't get data working and I'm having trouble getting my sim to activate. The first time I tried, it tried to activate on its own like you said, but failed (I think because I accidentally had my old phone still on and I did an esn swap). I thought maybe I just ruined that sim so I bought another blank sim. But when I put it in it just said "Preparing sim card..." and didn't try to activate.
I'm new to 4g phones, so if anybody could give me any clues how to get data working I'd appreciate it.
Give it some time to auto activate

How long should it take? Do I need to re-run the initial phone setup to make it activate?
And to your question, did you try the 8sms application here with the PagePlus setttings? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41195590#post41195590
Yes I used 8sms and don't run the initial phone setup again

I actually got 3g working without going through the activation process. I used DFS to match my settings to post #6 in this thread (replacing my phone number with the blurred out sections in the pics). I left the keys sections blank, but somehow my 3g still works. I thought the keys would be necessary and that I'd have to get them from a donor phone, but everything works without them.
How do you get MMS to work??

I need help with MMS and how to edit APN-CONF.xml and where that file would be. When i send a MMS it states "invalid destination address"
Hi everyone,just wondering if anyone could help figure this out. I have a Kyocera hydro elite thats verizon but they are gsm unlocked, I rooted it, then downloaded sqlite to add tmobiles apns. when I go to settings to pick out an apn nothing is in the list. Under status it says disconnected in the mobile network state.The phone works fine for calls just the data is not working. There is a question mark by the signal bars. Thanks in advance

This is what I had to do, maybe it will give you some clues. As you know the elite has no method for editing or adding APN so you have to hack it. My phone has android 4.1.2 on it.
First I went and found the correct driver for the kyocera hydro elite, you have to google it if you go to kyocera site and look around I couldn't find it. Install the right driver, plug it in make sure device manager sees it. I am using windows 8 64 bit so I got the 64 bit driver.
Then get KINGO ANDROID ROOT, it's free just google it. Load the software, plug in the phone. If you've got an antivirus on the phone stop it because it was stopping the software from seeing my phone. Root the bugger, use the tester to be sure you have root access (puts an app in the phone).
Download titanium backup paid version (PRO $5.99 google store) the freebie won't do what you need done. Download APN backup and restore (this will delete any old default stuff that might be stuck in your APN settings and if you try something that doesn't work this also allows you to delete it and try again). Download Offline Sim APN database. Use titanium backup pro to make APN backup and Offline Sim APN "system utilities" (they need full access to work, the setting is found under backup and you scroll right to get the menu to switch it to a system utility). Make sure USB debugging is turned on within the developer options in system setting .
The next part is the pita, I searched a dozen sites before I found the proper settings and I'm not even sure if text/multimedia text is working right but I have HSPA wireless internet which I think is about the best it's going to get as far as I can tell. I don't think I'll ever have 3G much less 4G but that's fine I don't watch movies or anything on my phone it should be enough for google maps/navigation etc. Speed test says about 5 mbps to a local server downstream, and about 2 upstream.
Use APN backup and restore to delete APN settings just to be sure there aren't any defaults hiding anyplace. Use offline sim to have it quiz the sim card and select the straight talk network then edit the information in the boxes from what you've found or want to play with. Don't foget to hit "copy" in each box you either clear or edit. Then hit the box on the top that says add these settings, it will then take you to the APN settings and there should now be an entry there. I had problems sometimes with the entry not appearing, I had to soft reset the phone and also make sure you don't have anything like tweaker on the phone, just the two utilities I listed above and titanium pro. Also be sure you have USB debugging checked and have turned off your antivirus.
I hope this helped you, took me two days to find all this and figure it out.
hola a todos tengo un kyocera hydro elite desbloqueado y soy de claro 4G Soy de republica dominicana y tengo ploblemas que no puedo configural mi apn quien me ayuda con eso
I can connect to the phone's hotspot but not to the net. I had this issue before on my Leagoo Shark 1, and I was able to change the APN settings to add "dun" to APN type and that sorted it. The Le Max has all APN settings locked (wtf?)
I've tried to add a new APN with the correct (I hope) settings but still no internet on my laptop.
I'm on the stock rom atm.
Any ideas please?
