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
