flash 6900 htc picking up other networks

[atltopdog]

i have a flashed htc touch that is on metro pcs. i had it flashed over at one of the metro stores here in atlanta. i have a few problems i need help with.

1. the phone works fine when im at home. but, when i go to other parts of town thats on the extended metro network, the phone says that im on the cricket network and unable to make a call. i use my flash utc starcom in the same areas and it works fine.

would my sid cause this to happen? i checked it and my sid was for texas, but even then a texas metro supposed to work in atlanta.

2. how do i keep my web from resetting when i cut my phone off or reboot?

3. has anyone gotte mms to work yet. ive tried every thing on the boards and nothing has worked for me

Sound like it's a PRL issue take it back to who flashed it and tell them to fix it. If you web setting keep reverting back to the original carrier the phone has not been properly flashed and needs to be fully flashed again. Have you tried one of Ryan moguls cabs from XDA for the MMS. Also Mtro and cricket are roaming partners but you should be able to make calls in that area if the phone was properly flashed.

I agree that it may be a PRL issue.Here is a link to a list of PRLs:http://www.corolada.com/prl/ Also, this is a link to an explanation of the web and mms settings for metro:http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=45988 Good Luck!!
