Can internet sharing be enabled on the i907 through media net rather than att isp? IF so, How? If not, can OEM Internet Sharing program be replaced with one from a tilt that does not have the preconfigured connection settings? If so, will someone send it to me?
Just reminding you we will deal with HTC devices.
you might not get an answer at all.
sorry
Here is what you need to do to get Internet Connection Sharing on the Epix.
First download Total Commander. Then you’ll need to delete the entire key, not just the value, which does something different depending on the value assigned) in this modification. You will want to delete ForceCellConnection, which is found under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings.

Okay so I am not going into detail about Cricket/Metro EPST settings (##3282# and ##778#) or how to use QPST right now. There are plenty of forums which detail everything you need in order to get that setup. I am specifically NOT posting links to these, since they all differ and are nothing more than confusing. The important thing is that you set your user-name to [email protected] and the password (or secret) to "cricket" (without quotes). The MSID is a number which will be assigned to you once you have a Cricket/Metro account setup. You can call them and ask them for this number.
1. Please keep in mind that I did not do anything word-for-word from other tutorials. This setup does not require any proxy shortcuts with Anycut or Bettercut. Also, This is much easier to accomplish, especially if you are not computer savvy, using Root Explorer (download this from the market), rather than ADB.
2. Download this package (Cricket) or this package (Metro), depending on whether you are on Cricket or Metro. Unzip the RAR - It contains the 3 files which will be used.
3. Put these 3 files anywhere on your SD card.
4. Using Root Explorer, copy "u2nl" to root/system/bin/
5. Using Root Explorer, create a new folder within root/data/ and name it "opt" (without quotes).
6. Using Root Explorer, copy "autostart.sh to root/data/opt/
7. Download "Autostart (Root)" from the market.
8. Download "APN Backup and Restore" from the market.
9. Open APN Backup and do a backup of your current APN (for safe keeping).
10. Using APN Backup, delete APN's.
11. Using any file explorer, move the cricketAPNs.xml to the APN backup folder on your SD card.
12. Using APN Backup, restore APN's and select the cricketAPNs.xml as the file to restore.
13. Reboot and you are done.
Metro users, please note:
A few Metro users are saying that Metro does not allow the EVO on their network. I am not sure of this but, if you are a Metro user and want to get your EVO working on their network, you may want to verify that they allow it.
Also, in order to get a phone working on a particular network, you will need to update your PRL file to one that is for that particular network. This tutorial is not going to cover this because there are different PRL's for different areas and different providers. Search around and you should have no problem finding a PRL for your network.

I have to leave for a bit but I wanted to get this posted so you all can try it out. It only takes a few minutes... I'll double check these instructions when I get home and make sure I am not missing anything. If you are having problems, please PM me and let me know. I'll be able to fix this up later, if needed...
Or, feel free to email me at [email protected]

God I wish I was brilliant like you guys
Everytime I read one of these tutorials I want to do it sooo bad but I don't know if I am missing anything not covered such as when someone asks "how do you get your esn added to metroPCS since most reps wont do it for you?". Questions like that scare the hell out of me into thinking that I am missing something so I will end up doing all these steps and then finally get to a missing step not covered at the end which ruins everything.
Is there anyway that someone could do a 6 minute youtube video from ground zero to full internet? pls pls pls
Thank you so much Synthrax for this tutorial. I might be able to try it but even if I'm too scared of missing something I still really appreciate you taking the time to post this tutorial thank you =)
If I'm not mistaken doesn't this process only give one internet connection and apps? Since it doesn't give you the ability to make calls or sms, isn't the title of the thread "everything but mms" a little misleading?
I know you said that you don't want to go over everything already said in the threads about setting up the qpst settings, but I think at least links would be helpful especially for people reading the thread and expecting to actually find directions on setting up everything but mms per the title.

There are two reasons for this...
1. I am not familiar with Metro and I will not post a link to one of the hundreds of differing tutorials, only to have people entering the wrong values in EPST.
2. This thread is within the "EVO 4G Android Development" forum which is for people who have enough knowledge to root their phone and typically much more. Should I also link to a "rooting" tutorial?
I will do what I can to post some of the generic EPST settings when I have time. I would love to write an all-inclusive guide, from start to finish, on how to buy the EVO, unlock it, install a custom ROM, provision EPST, update the PRL, and then get data working on Metro/Cricket... But, until I have time for all of that, you will have to do a little foot-work of your own to find some of the steps missing from my tutorial.
This tutorial is in direct response to all of the people who were looking for it. The title is not at all misleading, as this is the only known method for getting everything working. Yes, it assumes you have the phone on Cricket/Metro and voice and text are working... Anyone can walk into a Cricket store and get a phone flashed - this tutorial is for getting around the Cricket/Metro proxy, and it works
Cheers!
Thanks for posting more. I currently use and evo on the metropcs network in los angeles, and I think its a great option for those who want to have a great phone but don't want to pay 70+ dollars a month in carrier charges. I used the terminal method to modify the autostart program but next time I think I'll try out your method with the root explorer program.

Hey,
I'm sorry I just wanted to add my comments here.
You can get any CDMA phone flashed to metropcs but, you need to check here if its possible for it to work.
Link: http://www.metropcs.com/coverage/
You will notice it will say what type of phone it is. 'dual ban' or AWS. NYC and a few other places do not support android phones. So, if you do it in NJ and you go to NY for dinner do not expect your inet to work or anything except voice/text.
If you want to talk to someone at metro - 800-901-6266 , this is their tech line. You may have a problem getting your ESN added to the network because they dont allow smart phones atm. Same goes for boost. and cricket. You may need to call 30 times and keep giving the IMEI/ESN/MEID and try to trick them.
This is not an easy process. and to be quite honest. its not worth it.
As for the PRL files: http://www.corolada.com/prl/
My advice if you want to save money. Do as i do. Get a GSM android phone. Make sure the freq is compat with tmo. And get mysimplemobile.com. Its 60 a month unlimited * including intl text. its owned by TMO.
Anyways, I hope this helps you guys. so you dont go run and buy a phone and think its going to work
Dont go to a corp store to get your ESN added, not gonna happen... search phone forums or ebay, people will add it for $50
Even if you DO get it added. it will not work right. I dont care what anyone says.
But, have fun Metro is not the way to go.
Boost you can get away with it. but you need a hookup.

I'm hoping so cause I'm on boost. Just got back from a walk up and down the street. Anyone know of any ideas? If I have to go with a new TP2, I guess I can, but if I could get into the EVO I wouldn't mind. I've got backups of this phone, but don't know if they'll be any help. Really bummin right now and trying like hell to find the silver lining. PM me if you've got any ideas or maybe a TP2/Evo with bad numbers? I miss it already.

Do widgets work with Cricket? I used to switch WM phones to cricket all the time, but I've never done android because (previously), widgets couldn't work. Has anyone figured out a system-wide proxy to get widgets working reliably?

Um, you're wrong. I AM on metropcs with my evo, and it works great, I got everything but MMS working, which is for me the least useful thing anyways.
EVO works fine
The EVO works on any CDMA network that will allow another provider's phone on their network. The tutorial I posted works and, compared to all the others out there, is quite simple to follow.
This solution provides full internet - this is the "system-wide proxy fix". By following this tutorial, everything will work, except for MMS. The MMS issue has not been resolved yet, even with the correct settings in the APN.
To make a long story short - if you have questions, ask them... if you have comments, share them... but please do not post about how something doesn't work just because you can't figure it out. All that does is waste space and confuse future readers, which is why I moved this tutorial over to a new thread in the first place.
Thanks!
i had internet, facebook, etc working except incoming mail. i tried doing your solution hoping it would work, and in worst case, it should have left me where i was. now right away any program that requires internet access gives a connection error. i tried restoring the apn that was backed up prior to installing metropcs' and still no luck...?
Strange update...i have all of the instructions on this thread down to a T...until today i couldn't send or receive mms...then i updated to the new 32100 PRL and sent two messages one to my phone number one to my email....neither errored out and i'm still waiting on a message to my phone and in my inbox. will report
Thank You SYNTHAXXX for sharing your knowledge..
I had data set up but after loading up a froyo based ROM I lost data untill I cam across your solution!
Thanks buddy!

My question is whether we use our current number from sprint or a number that already exist on metro pcs?

that'll be your metropcs 10 digit number, no dashes or ( )'s
No luck...the picture never reached its destination
Thank You So Much It Works Great
If you want MMS on Cricket, all you have to do is following part 3 of this guide, hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739409.

I did this on my EVO that I use on Cricket, running Fresh 3.2 and it works.
Hello guys,
Do you think that is possible to hide an app from being visible on queries on the windowsphone.com marketplace but keep it visible on searches trough the phone?
I am not considering the case of private/public betas
Well, there are private stores, such as the business stores and such, which are invite-only. Then there's "private" stores like the OEM stores and such, where some phones can see that store but it's not normally reachable from another phone or the website.
I don't know of any other such option. What's the use case?
Well, I don't want to get into the matter too much, since it is not a problem (and I don't want to talk about piracy)
but there is an app in the Italian marketplace developed by my carrier, which app isn't obviously available outside the Italian marketplace.
I was able to download it and install it by searching for it through the phone marketplace. But the same app isn't visible on the windowsphone.com marketplace.
When I search for it I get as a suggestion, on the auto-complete list, the name of the app. But then as soon as I open it, the page says that it couldn't find the app.
It is really intriguing.
Maybe they just opened their own exclusive store.
(But my phone is branded to another carrier, Vodafone Italy). So how does my phone get access to such marketplace?
So my Carrier's marketplace name is TIMIT
I was able to access it with Phone7Market and some trial and error
Possibly bad data
I would not rule out a small error in the database behind the Marketplace as the reason for this phenomenon.
I personally had several cases where I checked the Marketplace with IE on my PC for interesting apps among the daily new apps, and when I clicked on the link to the publisher in the app description to see who made that app and check whether that publisher made other apps as well, I got an error message "no such publisher".
I think this "small data error" theory really is as probable as some hidden Marketplace feature that so far noboby knows the details about...
Mobile Operators (MOs, or carriers) can have their own private stores just like OEMs. I actually know where the files the control this on your phone are located, and they can be modified or overwritten (my OEM Marketplace XAPs replace the OEM ones). Items from MO or OEM stores don't appear in the "public" views of the Marketplace, such as the website.
But how is it possible that I can access my MO private marketplace by using a phone branded by another carrier?
I understand that it is just a string to edit in the registry, but can they do it over the air? or the phone isn't smart enough to change it, like it changes MMS and APN settings by changing SIM card?
Thanks
Do *NOT* change the registry to do this! I'm not even sure if that would work short-term, and long-term it would mess up your phone (break the Marketplace and all apps installed from it until you hard-reset).
There are a couple of apps that will safely change the MOMarketplace. They are similar to my OEM Marketplace XAPs, except they work as actual apps that you install and then make a selection in (requires root-unlock). One of them even allows you to lock the file read-only so the phone doesn't overwrite it with its branded one.
Thanks,
I don't want to change or edit the registry.
I just wanted to know how it works:
my question was:
how is it possible that I can access my TIM ITALIA private marketplace since I am using a VODAFONE ITALY branded phone?
Apparently is not a registry key. There should be something on the SIM Card,
unless LG's app "Network configurator" changes that key according to the SIM Card insert.
Where did you read that I want to change that registry key?

Why not just save a copy of your prefered file, and after an updated copy that over the restricted mess ?
