Re: Android running on US Cellular data service

metaltech I am in willowbrook
I am using phonenumber which also happens to be by msid (I would try either one of them)
first get it working before applying the permanment fix....
I smoked a lil too much...
tommorrow I will post step by step instructions on what I did...basically I did everything mentioned in earlier posts but used a different termanal, forgot the name and my battery is dead, but it was a blue screen...instead of having to turn on and off airplane mode...inconsole after applying everything I typed exit
and it restarted my data connection (not sure if this is linked but it did it twice now)

take a deap breathe and start over...use your phone number but in options.smd1 use: user phone#@uscc.net..
reread everything again...The first 2 times i was certain i did everything right and it didnt work for me..I took a step back, waited a few hours (got busy at work) went back reread everything and tried a third time and it worked...even though I was certain I did everything correct...I must of missed something....sometimes its best to just start over
peace

in your pap-secrets try using "metropcs" instead of your MSID and see... it is format:

USER SERVER PASS

usually we replace server with "*" and it works, but maybe this is also something we can try changing? (note: i don't know what i'm talking about)

So try:

number@mymetropcs.com * metropcs

as your /etc/ppp/pap-secrets, with the same
user number@mymetropcs.com

in options.smd1. Or try it without adding anything to options.smd1. Be creative, try everything you can.. if you figure it out, you'll help all the other MetroPCS people who may be in your shoes...

PS.. there is a carrier wiki here: http://www.androidonhtc.com/wiki/Car...twork_settings
But it has nothing for MetroPCS... in general we should try to bring it up to speed as best we can...

thanks for ur advice. i tried using metropcs as pass instead of the msid but nothing, tried options.smd1 with the num@mymetropcs.com and without anything but nothing worked. tried removing the " * " from the pap-secrets and didn't do anything.
i have 2 tests today and tomorrow so maybe by tomorrow night i'll put some more effort into it and get back.. i wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that metropcs doesn't have 3G only 1x

Good Q (1x vs 3G)... I doubt it, but I can try to find out for you. Instead of removing the "*" is there a server you could try to put there in the place of *? I'm afraid I suggest you bite the bullet and look into getting "adb" and using "logcat" to debug your setup in more depth =/ Look for anything "pppd" in logcat and also have a 'logcat -b radio' open in another window when you are making your changes in /etc/ppp and turning airplane on/off. Goodluck... do any MetroPCS people have this working?

Re: Android running on US Cellular data service **Solved for most***

I have used information from eval- and made a script that will work with an app from Market. This will be permanent until you load an updated rootfs.img. Here are the steps...

1. Download usccfix.txt (attached file below)
2. Rename usccfix.txt to usccfix.sh (Forum limits file types to be attached)
3. Edit usccfix.sh in notepad or any text editor and change the three phone numbers in red to your MSID, which may or not be your phone number. US Cellular customers can dial ##000000 then press Talk to find your MSID. See sample below and change highlighted areas.
4. Create folder on the root of your SD card called ‘gscript’ (This is where your zImage, rootfs.img and haret.exe are found)
5. Copy 'usccfix.sh' in to the new 'gscript' folder
6. Run haret.exe to boot in to Android
7. Install GScript Lite from Market. You can also download on your computer and save to AndroidApps folder then install when in Android.
http://gscript-android.googlecode.com/files/GScript.apk
8. Launch GScript Lite
9. Press the physical Windows button and select ‘Add script’
10. Press the ‘Load file’ button
11. Tap the usccfix.sh file listed
12. Press ‘Save’
13. Tap ‘usccfix’ from the list
14. After script runs, press the ‘Close’ button at bottom
15. Reboot and launch Android again

Example of changes to be made…
-----------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
chmod a+rw /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
chmod a+rw /etc/ppp/options.smd1
cat > /etc/ppp/pap-secrets << EOF
6414251234@uscc.net * 6414251234
EOF
cat >> /etc/ppp/options.smd1 << EOF
user 6414251234@uscc.net
EOF
busybox cp /etc/ppp/pap-secrets /init.etc/ppp/pap-secrets
busybox cp /etc/ppp/options.smd1 /init.etc/ppp/options.smd1
-----------------------------------------------

Data should work for most of you now. If not just edit the 'usccfix.sh' file and try your Hex ESN and phone number in different places and rerun script in GScript Lite.

Very cool! GScript Lite looks nice! Thanks for making it easier for people =)

EDIT: Sorry I pointed you guys to the autobuild =/ Seems you CDMA TP2 users have a separate RIL tweaked by MrPippy, so until he incorporates phh's fixes we won't know whether they worked...

Re: Android running on US Cellular data service **Solved for most***

Mine worked with the default generic APN entry with no user/pass after updating to the newest RootFS and the files from the other day. Using the same data.img and startup as I was before. Good Job!!!!
