thank you alexis..
BUT unfortunatly.. the link you sent was for Straight Talk..
I need the Metro PCS APN settings for the same phones that your link provided..
Not Straight Talk.
thanks anyways...
Let me know if anyone has the Metro PCS APN settings for Android 4.and greater.
thanks again.. I still dont have a consensus.

Is there some odd reason why you need to make a thread for this and can't just search google?

Read for those CONSIDERING VZW NOTE ON OTHER CARRIER

Ive posted this under the tmobile note 2 forum as well as it is relevant for both sides
THIS IS A LITTLE HEADS UP AND NEEDED INFO IF U PLAN TO USE THE VZW NOTE 2 ON GSM CARRIERS LIKE ATT OR TMO
If u plan to use the vzw note 2 on tmo gsm service youll need to know its a bit of work to get it going with data .
All vzw sch1605 are unlocked out oF the box .THIS PHONE DOES GET 3G on tmo 1900 band I cant confirm on att but tmobile YES 3G H+
Vzw locks its apn settings into the phone u have to root and unlock bootloader with Casual unlock tool and flash the stock 4.1.1 deodoxed rom in order to add att or tmobile apn settings. A deodoxed rom is A MUST Then there is a mod zip that gives u a "+apn "under settings /access point names to add your carriers apn
THIS IS JUST A HEADS UP FOR THOSE OF U ALREADY STUMPED OR PLANNING TO USE VZW NOTE ON A TMOBILE ACCOUNT OR GSM CARRIERS

Just curious but why the need for the deodex rom?
In repsonse to the question "why a deodoxed rom"
A Deodoxed rom is a prerequisite of adding the "apn" mod file, from custom recovery, as mentioned in my thread .If noone knew of this issue ahead they would never have working data while trying to use an alternate gsm carrier in their note 2.
Verizon locks the apn settings into the phone for theyre use only .
The zip file mod is 1 way of doing this .Its easier than the adb method of changing and pulling files from the system

You don't need anything deodexed.
There are several ways to modify apn:
1. Via conf file.
2. Via modded secsettings.apk that unlocks apn editor.
3. Change csc via build.prop that unlocks apn editor..
Joderme, imnuts, and I have a fairly comprehensive thread about it.

So what would have made this a helpful thread is some details. Like were is this flashable zip, what apn settings do we need, and what ROM did you use I know any deodoxed should work but which one you used would be good.
Now I know these things could be found by searching, but if you're making a new thread to help people it seems like a good idea to include details like these.

Thanks buddy, I've already read this which by the way says the same thing as this post just with details.
I was more trying to help the op. He made a thread to help people which is great, but have no real help except you'll need this stuff without saying where get it. Then says he checked to see how many people thanked him. Great intentions, but not actually very helpful. I'm researching trying to decide if I'm gonna get a note so I really like informative posts not vague references to stuff.

Yes you can use a Verizon rom and go back and forth.
Some deodoxed roms are
Jelly beans build 4
By beanstown.
Or stock 4.1.1 deodoxed with root
Google it if u want one
Why should I post the necessary files if they havent been requested?
I simply made a thread posting a statement about using vzw note 2 on gsm carrier and what to expect if you should find that the data can not be configured without some work .
Are you mad scientists done with the nit pickin and finger fuc*** of my thread or what?

Thanks, I think you missed my point. I want attacking you or your thread I see you want to help and I appreciate that because I have a good deal for a Verizon note and I'm going to tmobile so I've been reading ALOT so I see your capitalized post and expect to find something and all there is are references to things you need which basically say to change APN(of course)
That would be like all the people I've helped unbrick me just saying flash stock in Odin without showing them a guide to do it.
Anyways I'm still curious how you got 3g/HSPA unless I miss read the +APN thread and the other thread onion development I thought all that worked was edge.
Also I think most devs prefer you to link to their thread instead of just distribute their work.

You get 3g because the note is a pentaband
Phone it happens to support tmobiles 1900 3g band and 2100 band
Its a little spotty but works well and when lte rolls out the 1900 band will broaden.

All u will get is the 3g which is fast enough I get 10-14mg download speeds

Samsung Galaxy S2 from Straight Talk on ShoShock3 no MMS

I have been trying to get MMS to work on ShoShock3 for my straight talk galaxy s2 with no luck at all. My APN settings are corrent, I have data, I have the UCLK3 modem flashed as the stock one would give me no network. MMS does not work for me, perhaps someone could help me out and let me know if it's working for them or if there's any extra steps. I haven't seen any so I'm confused as to why it isn't working. Thanks a buch.
No Data
I have att gs2 from straight talk and after rooting and installing shoshock3 I have no data at all. I can receive and calls and sms text only. Wifi works but no data. Please help

Metropcs Galaxy s5

Hey guys, I'm new to all this flashing roms stuff and I have a question . I have the MetroPCS Galaxy s5 and the model number is G900T1 but there are practically no roms for metropcs so I was wondering if I can flash the tmobile roms on my metropcs device due to the fact metropcs and tmobile are basically the same the Tmobile model number is G900T as you see there's only one difference between the model numbers and that's the 1 in metros model number so please HELP
I am running the T-Mobile Stock rom on my MetroPCS version GS5. The only difference is that I needed to change the APN from fast.tmobile.com to fast.metropcs.com. Everything works flawlessly.
Didn't wanna wanna make new thread since this is just a basic question. Is anyone on metro pcs using the galaxy s5? I'm using their basic 40 dollar plan which gives me 500 mb of 4g. My question is I turned off the lte service but even though I was using 3g it still used my 500 mb of lte data, does anyone know anything about this, or is turning of 4g not an option on this phone?

Whether your on LTE or HSPA, it is still considered 4G and will use your data. The only way to not use the data allotment is to be on WiFi.

MetroPCS is owned by T-Mobile. The 1 after the G900T is the only factor that makes them different. They both have the download booster feature as well as wifi calling and HD Voice. Flashing roms on the G900T1 will be compatible with G900T (T-Mobile) Roms as well as MOST G900F Roms, I have a T-Mobile S5 on an international Rom. Everything will be good.

firmwares and modems
I should be fine to flash modems and firmwares from tmobile on my meto gs5 right? same towers....?
G thanks lol
Incase anyone else was wondering you can. But you have to change apns
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-900TI for Metro PCS which I have unlocked. I am currently using this on T Mobile and want to change the apn settings to those for t mobile. When I add the settings and save then pick the t mobile settings the phone revert back to the metro pcs apn settings. How do I ensure that the t mobile are used? Should I be doing something else?
(I change the apn settings from the settings>more networks>apn names>add apn menu option)
Can someone please give me some suggestions?

Hi,
Sorry about it. My question is nothing related to your question. I have the same model lg-as993 as you. It is working with the APN settings without issues in a provider outside USA.
My question is, using this model I am not able to OTA update the device. Did you manually update the firmware to Android 8 ?
Thanks in advance.
