I'm pretty sure your going to an official MetroPCS corp store, they always tell customers a whole mess of bs. Try going to one of the stores that flash any phone to MetroPCS.

I think I figured out the 3g issue. I haven't got it. But after months of this I'm seeing that people trying to flash these phones to other carrier like verizon and only getting 1x data. And its something to do with the ha and AAA passwords . So in thinking for the housini phones we need the passwords from the phone that was used to flash. Yea hard in most cases but most stores that flash use the same phone everytime so if we can get someone cool to share the passwords from the phone used to flash we will at least know if that's what's stopping us from connecting .

I'm pretty sure that the password for the HA and AAA passwords are suppost to be your MetroPCS MSL Code.. But as soon as I get home I'll look into it.

I know but if there is some mystery meid from that old phone they flashed with. I'm thinking if we use the msl code from that phone. I'm gonna try to get it from the guy that flashed mine. Hopefully it gets us somewhere.

Yeah check that out then, you could be right. Maybe the ones that get 3G are because they were flashed using the phones MEID, but the ones that aren't is because they were flashed using another MEID creating incorrect passwords.. But I'm still doubting this... Try it and let me know what happens man

Changing to the apns settings stated in the first page broke my mms. Here is what I used, can you guys please check if its right:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<apns count="1">
  <apn name="internet" numeric="311660" mcc="311" mnc="660" apn="0" user="mynumber@mymetropcs.com" server="wap.metropcs.net" password="mymslcode" proxy="wap.metropcs.net:3128" port="3128" mmsproxy="wap.metropcs.net" mmsport="3128" mmsprotocol="2.0" mmsc="http://mms.metropcs.net:3128/mmsc" type="MMS" />

</apns>

Here is the apns before I changed them to the above(btw changing back to these brings back mms):

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<apns count="3">
  <apn name="MetroPCS" numeric="310027" mcc="310" mnc="027" apn="0" user="" server="" password="" proxy="" port="" mmsproxy="" mmsport="" mmsprotocol="null" mmsc="http://mms.metropcs.net/mmsc" type="*" />
  <apn name="Production" numeric="310027" mcc="310" mnc="027" apn="1" user="" server="" password="" proxy="" port="" mmsproxy="proxy.metropcs.net" mmsport="3128" mmsprotocol="null" mmsc="http://mms.metropcs.net/mmsc" type="mms" />
  <apn name="Android" numeric="310027" mcc="310" mnc="027" apn="internet" user="*" server="*" password="*" proxy="" port="" mmsproxy="" mmsport="" mmsprotocol="null" mmsc="null" type="null" />
</apns>

Also, with either apns I still get internet but at slow ass 1x of course.

Regarding the AAA and HA shared secret values, when I initially used DFS to read off phone, they were both blank! So, to test I inputted my msl code(as stated by JD) in both HEX values and plain text but made no difference. What exactly are those values supposed to be? And are they used to authenticate your device in some way? If they are, then how come we are all getting internet?

I still also say that people that are not getting a 3g connection is because their phone was flash in 'a certain way' than others that are getting a 3g conn. The towers are somehow identifying this and only letting you connect at 1x. So no matter what we do to our phones, change settings or whatnot, the towers will never let you connect. Thats my theory, hope its not true though lol

What? Are you sure? Try changing the APNS and then restart your phone. You do have an HTC Evo right?

The HA & AAA values are used for EvDo connection.

Nice theory, but so far any theory is accepted, since none have been confirmed.
