yesterday i download an app called toggle data from the market and tried to see if it worked. well it worked turning of data but now my phones data wont turn back on. keeps saying disconnected even when i make a testing shortcut.
and i uninstalled itconfused. can anyone download the app and post it so i can install it bk to my phone to see if i can get it to turn my data back on. if that fails i don't know what to do.HELP!!! plz
Edit: Just read camurphy's post below. He (or she) is the developer of the toggle app and explains how it works in detail.
Hi djlucklu,
I am very sorry about the trouble my application caused you. jashsu is correct. It is similar to APNDroid however it modifies the APN type of each APN on the phone. It sets APN type to a single hyphen and this prevents the phone from connecting to that access point. It stores the original value of APN type into a database when disabling, and when re-enabling it restores these values. This method works perfectly on my development G1 and in the emulator however unfortunately for about 50% of people it seems something is failing.
Go to Settings -> Wireless controls -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names and edit each access point in the list. Make sure that APN type is not set to a hyphen. If you clear the value (it will be displayed as '<Not set>') the phone should try and connect to that access point.
I hope this works for you and once again I am very sorry about this.
Hey again, I located the bug that prevented the app from working on your phone. Version 1.1 is now published on Android Market and that bug is fixed.
Clearing the value of APN type for all the access points on your phone should let you connect to the Internet again.
Apologies again for the inconvenience.
I have a problem reconnecting, I have to reboot/or toggle airplane mode on-off before I can reconnect.
Im no expert on HSPDA but I have had a simmilar problem with incorrect WAP/HSPDA settings on my old nokia where if I put the settings in wrong I would have to reboot the phone before it would connect (this was using Nokia PC suite on my computer)
I had 2 simcards "Vodaphone" and "Three" Ie if I forgot to change the setting to from "3internet" to "vodanet" I would have to reset the phone.
What about mms?
Hi Cameron
I just downloaded your app and it works fine.
My only issue is that it also disables the mms apn. I'm then even not notified that I received an mms until I reactivate it by putting back manually 'mms' in the APN type of the mms apn.
Would it be possible to avoid disabling APNs that have 'mms' as APN type?
Thank you
The G.
Hi FuentesGG,
I released version 2.0 today that is in the form of a home screen widget. When you add the widget to your home screen it allows you to specify whether you'd like to leave MMS enabled. Hope this helps
i love the app, thx camurphy
Hi Cameron,
I've just installed the update to 2.0 and after installing the widget on my screen when the button is green I'm not able to connect and when it's not green.... I'm not able to connect too!
Could you please provide me a solution as the previous advise from this post doesn't work on my phone (HTC Magic from Proximus in Belgium!)
Thx in advance.
Ok... that's working now!!
I've restored my APN settings! Thanks for the app but... that would be great not to break all connections when update is installed!
Thanks !!!

This is just great!!
The widget works fine and visual feedback on the widget is perfect.
Big thanks ;-)

Hi camurphy. I installed your widget today and as soon as I used it I am unable to send sms. I can receive them but not send them. I've tried factory reset and reflashing. Replacing the mms.apk. everything I could think of. I hope you have a solution. Thanks in advance
Okay so there seems to be a good amount of people here with Sprint and Verizon as their carrier, but there is not that much support for MetroPCS, which is a growing CDMA provider. I thought this would be a good place to gather information as far as what can work with the network concerning the HTC Vogue, MetroPCS, and Android.
So far this is what I have:
Data is for sure working on Donut AOSP, but I did have some issues when trying to connect with facebook and google sync, but I was successfully able to access the internet. I will come back to this build later but am currently downloading this in the themed version and I will report back on how it goes.
Using this Hero build I can once again get data, text, and calls, but I cannot get any data apps to work, therefore rendering GPS useless, which I currently can't even check to see if it works.
So the only thing that seems to work with Android with MetroPcs is Data (browser only), Text, and Calls. Not bad if that is all you need but in this case I prefer WM. But I will continue to fiddle with it. Hopefully some more builds will be pushed out that will hopefully resolve this. And using the SD card method is the only method in which I have successfully gotten data to work. Data is a no-go for me with the NAND flashing.
To set up your data the easiest way is as follows:
-Activate voice dialer
-Say "Open APN"
-hit okay okay to open the APN
-Click on your current APN to edit the settings or activate the menu and create a new one
-Enter in these settings
Proxy: wap.metropcs.net
Port: 3128
Username: your [email protected]
Password: metropcs
The other settings dont really matter. I always just left them how they were.
Credit for the initial data settings goes to L0GiC4L 3ViL.

Are you booting through the SD card or NAND? Are you able to use GPS?

I was using SD. And I didn't try out GPS yet. I tried NAND and I could never successfully get data working.
Yes I have that same problem with cricket setting! If I come up with a solution I will post it.

this is a stab in the dark, but did you delete your blank files off your SD card? I had trouble once, and by deleting the rootfstonand and systemfstonand files, etc and rebooting my data started working. Just something to try

No I never did try it. I will have to look into it though. Was everything that required data working (maps, apps, and weather?) or just the browser?
NAND method works on Android using MetroPCS APN. I have one running, but only WAP, marketplace doesn't work, youtube doesn't work, googlemaps doesn't work, etc etc.
I believe the reason for these not working is they have their own way of communicating with network, so they don't use the APN settings, maybe this is wrong and they (google) should fix it (their libraries) to use APN information?
I heard from a reliable source that there will be a Kyocera phone running android before the end of 2010 on the Metropcs network. I googled around and I found this ://phandroid.com/2009/10/08/kyocera-android-phone-coming-2010/

If you work for Metro, can you find out how to get the google apps to work? I can browse the web, but that is about it. I am not certain if these apps are trying to go in through a restricted port, but if you could find that out I am certain that a lot of people would be more than grateful.
Did anyone get any of the apps to work via Metropcs? I have data working, but would love to sync to google for contacts, calender etc...
Thanks.

Nothing yet and patiently awaiting for a solution on this. I am pretty sure that it has to do with the APN info, but... I am not completely sure.

No market and no gapps as of yet. It could be Metro itself blocking the ports...
hi, I am also considering MetroPCS with my out of contract XV6900.
Did you have to unlock the phone first and if so how did you do it?
I already installed polymod 2.1 gamma and I can't find an unlock option in the menus... thanks!

I don't believe that there is any way to unlock the phone via Android. It has to be done from WM. Check out my signature on how to do this.

I recently had my old phone number ported to my new network, but in the Settings -> About Phone -> Status screen the phone number is still showing as the temporary one assigned by the network while I was waiting for the port, which was different to the SIMs original, and it changed then.
Is there anyway to get this to update? I've tried restarting the phone, with and without the SIM in but it's still showing as the temporary number. The port has definitely taken place as people have phoned me on my old number and I've phoned them and it's shown as me.
Any help greatly appreciated
No-one know then?
It sounds to me like this may be something that is programmed into the simcard and doesn't change when the operator changes the number (or something like that). I doubt you will be able to fix it yourself, seems to me that this is either due to some delay in the operators system (unlikely after 4 days) or its just coded on the simcard and doesnt change. Maybe there is a program to edit that somewhere but I have no clue.
I've had almost the same problem since the beginning. There's no number on the info field.
I had a new contract and a sim card for the phone, but there was no number. I also have no idea how the number is defined in the field.
Try This and see.
Australian Sim Cards do not have any number Details Programmed so you may be able to program the Sim via your Phone.
Go to Contacts -> Menu Key -> More -> Settings -> Own Numbers.
Here you may see your old Number. Just open this and change the Info and Save.
you may have to Reboot to see any effect.
Keep us updated if this change works.

Hi, I have the same exact problem as above when I had my number ported to T-mobile. I was really searching for a way to fix it then I came across this, I tried this but I do not see that option for me, do you know of any other way to update or fix this? I find it a bit annoying haha. Plus I want to root and do not want any possible mishaps. I am on the Galaxy Note 4 by the way. Thank you.

I rooted and it was fine so I am happy there but I still do want to update the number. Recently I sent my friend a picture message and she got it form my temporary number and it annoyed the heck out of me, a few minutes later I resent one and it was fine so I guess it was a tiny mess up. I wonder if going in and buying a new sim or something would help because if it does and the sim is $10 I'd be willing to do that.
I have a Verizon Droid 3
I unlocked it with the unlock code.
I flashed it 'Flash+Verizon+DROID+3+OTA+5.6.890+to+phone_psouza4'
I rooted it 'Pete's Motorola Root Tools'
NOW, when I insert my sim card I go to Mobile Network Settings..
I see the GMS/UMTS settings.. I go to access point names and I see.
APNs
T-Mobile US
epc.tmobile.com
And it's in green, so that's good.. but I want to use it with Simple Mobile?
Simple Mobile runs on T-Mobile.
HELP?
try adding the APN information from this website http://simplemobile.webs.com/index/Android Configuration/Android Configuration.html
Oh I've tried... no luck. It still doesn't work. The APN settings are SIMPLE Mobile right now..
What do I do ?
Is it something in ##program? Because I wouldn't know where to get those values anyhow.
The settings on that site linked are very outdated. Do it like this...
Name SIMPLE Mobile
APN simple
MMSC http://smpl.mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
Everything else leave it as is, save, and make sure to check the dot after you save it. If it doesn't work you can try adding the MMS Proxy (216.155.165.50) and Port (8080), but that's all you need to do. I am a Simple Mobile dealer (the service is pretty horrible to be honest), and this works for every Android phone I've done (including the Droid Incredible 2), keep in mind when it does work that you will only get 2G service (EDGE).
Go into airplane mode, then come out, directly after hit whichever one you want to do (wifi hotspot/USB tethering) and it should work without problems. I have tried and used both. If you have an easier way, please share!
Go to An settings and add dun to the end of the pan type. Works everytime. Not just Motorola, works on Note8 and V20
"An settings"? "pan type"?
Are these typos we have to decrypt? I don't have anything like this is my Network Settings.

Lol if he's typing on this phone I can understand it, I mistype a lot on this one. But I do look back and fix them. You should try the APN settings and see if they work for you. I still gotta stick with the airplane mode method.

No they don't. Maybe in one of them, but not mine.
If you go to sprint.com you'll see on the front page they include 10 GB of hotspot data. After those 10 gigs I believe it's throttled. I've had this for as long as I can remember.

That's not the plan we have. We've had our plan since 2007. Everything family plan I believe
I did mean apn lol. I also used 253gb of data last month.
WARNING about switching to a plan with free 10GB/mounth Mobile Hot Spot: Despite confirming with the Sprint phone jockey that Google Voice carrier integration would still work when I switched from my Everything to a Freedom Unlimited plan; it ended up breaking the integration and "cancelling" my Google Voice account. It took me about five days talking to Google and Sprint; and only after going back to the Everything plan, I was able to get GV working again.

I just acquired a stock Sprint Z2 Force on Oreo 8.0 and the usual Airplane / Quick Hotspot tap fix isn't working like it did on the E5 Plus and Z3 Play, both of which were also running Oreo - the hotspot never activates on the Z2. APN's are all greyed out and locked and there's no way to add another one as of now. I need Hotspot in emergencies only, but I do need it for those occasional situations. Any other workarounds? Thanks!
Update - APN's can be added (not edited or removed) when the phone first reboots, but adding the dun command to the default "internet x.ispsn" APN - under a new APN with all other settings duplicated (as was suggested) - doesn't enable the hotspot as of now.

Just search for your operator by numeric. Sprint is 310120
