I've tried everything to get my Metro PCS internet setup. Please help!!!

Ok, new problem. Apparently my internet situation is not completely solved. Sometimes it will connect, but then it will disconnect after a period of time and give me an error that says that my username or password is invalid. It still occasionally deletes my HTML Proxy setting. What would be causing my password to stop working, and why would it delete my HTML Proxy info?

that is just weird.
Under your connections settings, how many connections are there?

Sorry I didn't get back quicker, I was at work all day (and I obviously don't have my web working). There is only the one connection. It seems odd that it will work sometimes and won't work other times. And it isn't always the same thing. Most of the time when it works, it says Dialup. Shouldn't it at least say EVDO? I'm not expecting REVa, but EVDO would be nice... Actually I'll take dialup if it would be dependable...

i am having same problem on my htc touch pro, any help is appreciated.

I'm really confused about the password. Everybody's tutorial that I can find for the Diamond says that the password is supposed to be "Metropcs". How did you know that it is "Mymetropcs"? I still cannot get it to connect. It keeps giving me an error saying that the username/password is incorrect. I just updated to the Alltel ROM. Will this make some difference?

Still can't connect...

anybody found a solution, i am still facing the exact problem i cannot connect to the internet it saids password or username is wrong.

Must of the internet problems, om the diamond and the touch pro
are caused by 1: htc_guardian.
Which is ment to keep the sprint or alltel connection as default.
2: name or password.


here are my settings on my test tp

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)

now for your connections

username:10 digitphonenumber@mymetropcs.com
password: mymetropcs

kk loaded rom 1.6
Arcsoft mms composer 5.0.20.24


If you have an alltel rom it most likely has alltel mms composer
whichcase all you have to do is edit the server settings
server name: metropcs
gateway :wap.metropcs.net
port:3128
server address:http://mms.metropcs.net:3128/mmsc
connection via:internet
send limit:399

i did not figure this out, just found it here so if it helps please thank the original author.

these settings worked on a Apache, mogul, diamond, and touch pro.

Ok, I did find that there was the htc_guardian file in my windows folder. I replaced it with a dummy file with no coding at all. I'm still not connecting...

Could it be that I need to use another number other than my actual phone number? I'm looking in my EPST settings, and I see something called MSID that has another number that almost looks like my phone number. Should I try using this?

There has got to be something wrong with the username and password. It doesn't make any sense that I just randomly wouldn't be able to connect. It seems to work for everyone else... I wonder if I call Metro if someone will tell me what my username and pass should be for their WAP network. I am paying for it after all.

BTW: In the Proxy settings, am I supposed to be filling in my username and password or leaving them blank? What did you do? Also, is it supposed to be socks 4 or 5? Nobody ever talks about these settings, so maybe something in there is messed up...

Is is possible that my username is supposed to be my MIN number? They mention in the MMS settings that you should use your MIN number (which might not be the same as the regular #). Maybe this is true for my Web as well?

EDIT: Ok, I look in my EPST settings, and it says MIN1 and MIN2. MIN1 is my area code, and MIN2 looks very similiar to my phone #, but has a few digits changed. So I'm assuming that my full min would be all ten digits put together. Am I supposed to be using this instead of my actual phone #? Could that be my problem?

If I am supposed to be using this number, do I need to change my info for the EPST settings? I'm very confused at this point and I just want it to work...

make sure you have the metro connection
under settings-connections-connections.
click manage existing connections, make sure there is no sprint related connections.

[Jbbrack03]

Yeah, I deleted all of that and now that the HTC_Guardian file is gone, it isn't coming back. But, I'm still having these issues. Did you see my question about the MIN number? What do you think?
