MetroPCS Web and MMS on PPC-6800

[RDerby]

I am about to move to China, so I need to help my son set up metroPCS service before I leave. It was a pain (and a learning experience) getting my old PPC6700 flashed to metroPCS, as you can see in my previous post, but I got it done and it works doing phone and text messaging.

What doesn't work yet is Internet access and MMS. I have tried doing many of the things suggested in this long thread, but the PPC fails to connect and stay connected. I have tried the Simple IP, the variety of passwords and no password, the editing suggestions, and quite frankly I am getting lost as to all the changes I have made from the settings it had originally.

My son has the $45 plan, so I am not scamming. I know it can be done because others have yelled "Eureka" right here in this thread. But for me it's close-but-no-cigar. What I would love to have is a step-by-step instruction for setting up the remaining service.

I can follow instructions, and if I get the details I need to make this work I am even willing to write up a set of instructions that are easy to follow. That way others can benefit from what I learn.

So, anybody think they can point me at ALL the things I need to do to take a PPC 6700 from phone-and-text to full functionality?

okay well i dnt have a 6700 but i know with the 6800 it was easier for me 2 jus flash a non sprint rom 2 my phone so tht way it wouldnt keep tryin to go back to the sprint connection settings. if u dnt want to go the flashing route try going to settings>connections>connections>advanced>select network....the stock settings (sprint or verizon or w/e) wll most likly be selected...hit edit then general and tap delete settings...if for some reason the delete settings buton isnt selectable then try connecting to ur metro settings and then go back to the general window for sprint and u should b able to delete it tht way. idk but wen i du tht sometimes it comes back with the mogul but with the touch it doesnt so hopefully it wont for the apache..lemmme kno how it goes

flash a non sprint custom rom to your touch, tht way it wont go to the sprint configuration. jus find a gud rom that was built by some1 and then enter the internet settings.

Believe me this is a last resort. I hate to bother you via PM. I fairly well versed in the way of flashing, and configuring HTC devices. I actually released a rom at xda for the wizard a few years ago. But I'm totally stuck with my wife's Touch Pro on Metro. I have everything fully functional but web. The problem I keep encountering is that after setting up connection, and proxy settings after saving, and closing 'connections' I test the web, no go... mail, facebook, work. when I go back to connections the metro connection is gone, as is the ability to access the proxy. the only way I can get the proxy tab back is to hard-reset, until I put the settings back in, and poof proxy is gone. I've tried several roms, all with the same results. Do you have any pointers? do you happen to have the server/mms settings cab that dumbdumb posted a while back?

there is a program call htc guardian tha resets the connection to the default
And you can't just get it off your phone cause is write protected.

this might be what you are looking for

MetroPCS Flashed Touch Pro CDMA
I copied this from somewhere on the internet, and edited a few things, this is how it worked for my TOUCH PRO,

REMEMBER - make sure you have the $45 plan, it includes internet and mms (picture messenging)

STEP 1 *** ------------------------------------------------------------- ***

1: FIRST FLASH YOUR PHONE TO METROPCS... SO THE NEXT STEP WILL WORK...

2: Open your phone PAD and DIAL ##778# then select " EDIT " and enter your unlock code. should be = 000000

Set the following values:

M.IP Settings:
MIP_MODE = Simple IP Only

M.IP Default Profile:
NAI = yourtendigitphonenumber@mymetropcs.com
Home Address = 0.0.0.0 (just delete the values and save)
Primary HA Address = 0.0.0.0 (just delete the values and save)
Secondary HA Address = 0.0.0.0 (just delete the values and save)

Security:
HDR AN AUTH User Id = yourtendigitphonenumber@mymetropcs.com
PPP USER ID = yourtendigitphonenumber@mymetropcs.com
PPP PASSWORD = metropcs

STEP 2 *** ------------------------------------------------------------- ***

WAP = ( INTERNET SETTINGS )

1: Goto Settings -> Connections -> Connections

2: Remove any Connections that are there, ( if u use a custom rom = they should have ( Network ) = use this one, DON'T DELETE )

3: Goto Connections and delete any existing connections and setup a new one using the following settings:

Number to dail = #777
Username: yourtendigitphonenumber@mymetropcs.com
Password: metropcs
Domain: (Leave Blank)

Select Proxy Settings and enter the following values:
wap.metropcs.net port:3128 (http)
wap.metropcs.net port:3128 (wap)
wap.metropcs.net port:443 (secure wap)
wap.metropcs.net port:3128 (socks)

4: Back in the "Connections" screen where you have two tabs at the bottom of the screen of "Tasks" and "Advanced", go to Advanced, click on "Select Networks" and select the name of the Connection you just setup.
For Example: if you leave as Sprint or Network then choose that one as your internet connection and do it for both settings.

STEP 3 *** ------------------------------------------------------------- ***

MMS = ( PICTURE MESSAGES )
MAKE SURE YOUR WEB IS WORKING PROPERLY (ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS) AS YOU CAN'T HAVE MMS WITHOUT WORKING INTERNET!!!!!
Remove/Uninstall any existing MMS composer you have attempted to setup. Also a good idea to remove any registry keys it may have created that are left behind after the uninstall.

1: Install Arcsoft MMS version 5.0.70.00 from Verzion or Sprint. I attached the one I use.

2: Open your Messaging and click on the SMS/MMS option.

3: Click on "Menu" and select "MMS Options" then select the "Servers" tab.

4: Add a new server with the following settings: or rename SPRINT to METROPCS
Server Name: metropcs
Gateway: wap.metropcs.net
Port number: 3128
Server address:http://mms.metropcs.net:3128/mmsc
Connect via: SELECT EITHER THE CONNECTION YOU SETUP ABOVE "NETWORK" OR "The Internet"
Send limit: 399K

5: Click "Done" and then set the new server as default.

6: Using a Registry Editor edit the following values:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader]
DELETE KEY -> "X-sprint-MDN" or rename and use the next line below...
ADD STRING -> "X-metropcs-MDN"="XXXXXXXXXX" ( Insert your 10 digit phone Number )
ADD STRING -> "X-DEVICE-MIN"="1XXXXXXXXXX" ( Insert your 10 digit phone Number WITH the 1 in front of it )
