HTC Touch on MetroPCS no GPS or MMS
 

I have a HTC Touch from Sprint that I have working on the MetroPCS Service. I've upgraded the ROM to the latest HTC has for Bell Mobile. I have talking, texting and internet but no GPS or MMS. I also don't even see the MMS option when I go to Start>Messages. The only options are text and email. Any help on getting these two up and running would be appreciated.

Thanks

PS-I've read just about every thread but I need some of the information dumbed down so that I can understand.

Does Metropcs even have aGPS support?
Look for a app called arcsoft mms, that should help you with your mms problem.

GPS should work, however it depends what type of rom you're using... i dont know if bell has it enabled... i think you need a 3.x radio for GPS to work... why not just flash the latest sprint rom? and like liquid said... you can search for arcsoft mms and that should handle your picture mail. here is a link for the latest Sprint Rom: http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownloa...cat=2&dl_id=66

Isn't that going to be a issue the fact you gave him a sprint ROM to run metro pcs is a totally different provider then sprint...All I know is that even if that is possible to use then you would have to run a unlocker, but logic tells me that flashing a sprint ROM will cause trouble!!!

It will work fine as long as you don't let Sprint customizations run.

I suggested the sprint stock rom seing as it is a sprint phone and the stock rom has gps enabled... my understanding is that Metro PCS will make the necerssary changes to your phone to run on their network... so if you take them a sprint phone, why would they expect a rom that is not sprint's? same with verizon, etc... of course, if there's something i'm unaware of where certain roms dont work on Metro PCS or something, let me know :mrgreen:

Thanks.

If you have a GPS radio 3.**.** you should have GPS for MMS have you tried installing a Metro wap/mms cab. I might be able to help you with out reflashing the phone. Post the following
current ROM
Radio version
what Gps program you are trying to use
and if you have internet
If you need a metro cab for wap mms let me know and I'll give you a link.
Here is the setting for manual entry for wap mms http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448955
