Sounds great but would that work for our phones that sounds like gsm lingo lol. The changes they made were to the hsp-whatever-ma-gig which I believe is in reference to their 3g whereas ours is evdo which I is different, you know gsm tech vs cdma.

Some one with more tech knowledge please feel free to clarify/correct.

That is exactly correct. HSDPA (high speed downlink packet access) and variations of it are GSM only. These file would probably(I haven't checked) be present on our Heros, however they would serve no actual purpose since CDMA was basically hacked into the operating system.

I check our Build.prop and Build.prop.nopassword and there is nothing related to the internet connection... unless I missed something =(

Before I posted, I googled info on 3g and cdma, couldn't come up with much, so figured I would post it. I misunderstood one site, which referrened to 3g being 3rd Generation, and something about evdo falling into that category. Wasnt sure. Oh well. Thanks for the clarification.

You are in fact correct. 3g does stand for 3rd generation, and both EVDO (cdma) and HSDPA (gsm) fall into this category.
