Will I have all my programs, setting and most important thing - activation?
Or new rom can wipe out all my data?
I can restore everything but not activation. No, I cannot call *228
I am in Canada on north American plan.
Maybe activation can be buckuped?

I already legally have my phones esn on MetroPCS but if I fully wipe it when I root or put a new rom on it, the settings revert back to Verizon. What I have learned is if I have the prl (mine is 2004), I can flash it by dailing ##prl. After that, then what?
Thanks -nomorefear
What ROM did you flash? I've put many on mine and it stays on MetroPCS, the PRL should not be changing. You will have to get web, mms and apps working again after a flash though.
I have tainted tenzo and by wipe I mean dalvik as well, which is why the metroflash goes back to vzw

I wiped that earlier before flashing Tazz Froyo and Metro still worked at first boot.

Yes, wiping the phone just clears out the saved settings/apps/etc in the ROM, it does not touch the area's that save the PRL information for your carrier. You're stressing over nothing. You would have to reprogram the phone for another carrier in order to lose the Metro PCS settings.
Cool, thanks mate!

I have used lots of different ROMs with Metro, using Wipe Factory and Wipe Dalvik. Shouldnt mess up the MetroFlash.
Now what I dont know is if you still retain settings after you do a hard reset / factory restore from the built in recovery

Are you sure about that? You should be able to make calls. You will have to redo the internet and MMS after a wipe. Also, you will need to use a Verizon based ROM (SenseUI) if you want MMS to work.
How many of you would be interested in getting TMobile SIM with unlimited data plan for your Vibrants?! No voice, just data... and data that doesn't expire...just wonder...

OK, my point is I'm able to get TMobile SIMs w/ no voice but UNLIMITED data(Android plan), BUT without need to pay for it each and every single month... PM for more info
I'm currently using a local sim card from Thailand in my Vibrant, but I still need to enable roaming to get data connected. One would think the phone should recognize the SIM and enable data without roaming on.
Is this perhaps hard coded in these phones, and is there a possible fix?
Find the proper apn to set up

Strange, I had set them up manually before, but installed a new rom. Now for some reason it automatically setup the correct settings for data as well as MMS.
It's not giving me that warning anymore, but I wonder where it got those settings from...

Well I was too early, still get notifications to enable roaming.

Anyone else an idea? I hate to keep roaming on, one day that's gonna cost me big time.

Hello I been using a iPhone 3gs with unlimited data plan 3g I guess. it's a corporate line. I had them activate a new microsim so I can use the AT&T GS3. I power cycle it a few times but doesn't have any data connection? is there anyway to make it work even at 3g? my phone is rooted only.
please help!!! thanks...
You need to put in the access point settings. I can't remember where but look for settings for wap.cingular online.
Call att and switch your plan to an lte data plan.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Yeah. You need your account provisioned for lte. Call att. Its free.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium
Yes, call ATT and have your account properly provisioned for LTE. Your account may still indicate you are on an iPhone plan, which I think ATT treats differently on their end.
It's corporate line so i can't modify anything just take what they give me!

New Photon owner.
Struggling with using it on Ting. Ting itself seems great. After changing MIN and MDN, I have WiFi, text, voice and 4g. No 3g however.
I've rooted and debloated. If I use the droidx bootstrap recovery it won't boot and I have to start from a complete sbf restore (198.7). If I unlock the boot loader I lose 4g, so I then have no data, but still have WiFi, text and voice.
Anyone successfully using Ting with 3g?
Aloha.

No reason to unlock no ICS video drivers. I've been on sprint now ting. Non 4g speed is dead slow.
Put stock on my Photon Q for testing, saw 3g icon.
I'll fire up the MoPho and check.

Well, I'd like to change ROMs. Without data, I'm stuck with stock, and the deblur script has broken contacts app.
I'd really like to move to the hybrid ROM, but once installed, if I relock the boot loader it hangs. So no data or no function. I'm looking for any way out of the deadlock.
Aloha.

I haven't used Ting but I activated a Photon on PlatinumTel CDMA by doing a ##72786# network reset.
When the phone restarted after the reset Hands Free Activation ran and it set up 3G, voice and SMS automatically. It should work the same on any Sprint MVNO
You need to be on a stock ROM for Hands Free to run. Once activated you can switch to a different ROM but you will lose WiMAX when you unlock.
Yeah. Stock rom just hangs on connecting to network screen. It's already registered on Ting, so it never connects.
Aloha. Thanks for trying to help. I'm thinking I'll restore to stock and sell it.

update prl & profile
I switched to Ting. The data speeds are slow. But I found that disabling Sprint's proxies and doing periodic prl updates and profile updates greatly improve 3g speed. Yes, I get 3g yet it feels like 2g sometimes. I found my phone seems to lose data all together sometimes and I have to update profile and prl to even get any data. Kinda sucks but spending $40/month on Ting for 2 phones (Note 2 & S3) is way cheaper than spending $160/mon on Sprint. What's nice is I still get to use Sprint's crappy network. lol
I use ting and had the same problems, after the third call to them. I got an email asking me to let them know when I got home. Woke the next morning, to find my phone in the settings menu? and every thing has worked great ever senses. Don't know if they remoted in or not?
