Re: Android running on US Cellular data service

Right now in Android, PPP doesn't use any username/password, and I think this might be the problem.

I'd like to test out this theory--could a USCC user PM me their phone #? I'll put the username/password into a rootfs and send it to back to you.

If anyone wants to try it themselves, you need to put the username/password into the rootfs in init.etc/ppp/pap-secrets, like so:
<TenDigitPhone#>@uscc.net (tab) * (tab) <TenDigitPhone#>
the mcc and mns are different too. not sure if changing that will work
i did what you said, booted into linux and mounted the rootfs.img and so far when trying to get on 3g it never showed the icon, i phone eventually rebooted itself. going to look around at some different stuff though

Well i went and added the mcn and mcc numbers into the apn xml file and not change, when i did the thing that mrpippy said to do the 3g light stays on all the time now.
