Pre-Owned Evo still has someone else's Sprint info on it (MetroPCS related)

Hey guys, just bought a used Evo. I got it home and started looking through it, and saw that under "Current Username" it said [email protected]. It also had the guys old phone number.
Now, I plan on flashing this to MetroPCS, and I was wondering, how exactly do I go about changing that username?
I tried searching this, but couldn't find anything. Coming from a GSM network, I have no idea how any of this works.

Call Sprint and update your phone profile. They will help.

Even if I don't have a Sprint account?

Get the msl for it. Then on dialpad press ##786# then choose option to reset, input msl and you'll be set. Just keep in mind this wipes out the phone

Thanks for the help.

Ok, now I've hit another brick wall. How do I get the MSL of the phone?
Edit: nvm, got it
Edit 2: Ok, I could use some help. The method I used didn't seem to work.

Turn on wifi. Go to the market and search MSL. There is an app MSL reader that will help you get the MSL.
Not sure exactly what you needed help with yet?

When you flash it to metro all the should be gone

dude, go to your options. toward the bottom find the updates. update your PRL and your PROFILE. thats it, let it run n it will have your new info. tried and true way 2 do it. my friend had same issue. did that and it wrked.

i was on the same boat when i got my phone. it still had the guys's sprint info.
flash a new rom (even a stock 2.2 rom as you're probably still on 2.1 on that phone) and it'll get rid of software settings (gmail account and such). once you do the actual qpst settings for metro you'll be changing username and thether to [email protected]. then in epst you change the mdn and all those other settings that right now point to sprint.
point being, follow the flashing guide, making sure to flash a new rom or just reset your phone to factory default first, and you'll be set.

MMS Problems? Sending...

So i looked around for a bit on here for MMS problems, and i couldn't find anything. When i was running WinMO 6.5 i could send MMS just fine. My friend rooted my phone with Android, and now when i send MMS it just says sending...
and never sends the message. I sent something last night, and when i woke up it still said sending...
Is there a fix for this? i do have MMS service enabled though T-mobile, and i can receive picture messages just fine. I was using stock app for the messaging, but then i though, hmm, i saw one on the market. so i used Handcent and the same problem occurred. Help would be greatly appreciated
edit; now i asked a friend to send me an MMS, and it says downloading and never downloads either!

I also have the same problem. But if you wonna receive the pictures just turn your mobile data on and then go to mms and click download. It should work but this doesn't seem to work with sending the MMS.

Same here, just need to know that modules work together with the mms.apk

Check and see if the data is enabled. That may be a solution.

The thing is I don't have data so I have it off at aall times
Edit: just turned on data for the Lulz to see If it would work, nothin :/

you have to use the ones provided by your phone carrier, he is probably on a different network so the settings wont work

How did you cleared all caches? I just see factory reset, reboot and other potions but no clear caches ? And does factory reset remove all your installed apps?

Did you fix the issue? The link you gave doesn't have any solution.

Yeah theres no solution on that thread. I did do a search before posting, but xda was so cluttered, I didn't see that one, not that it helped anyways. Factory resets, clearing cache, flashing other roms, none of that works. I'm still wondering if it has something to do with having two apn's. I've never seen a separate apn for mms, I know it causes issues with data when sending mms. Maybe market is trying to switch to it, I just don't know.

Update. Clearing caches worked for a day but now mine is having issues avaim. 351 is very buggy for me

Just so you guys know I am having the same issue running 318.I also downgraded 351 was laggy for me.

Check out my post in that above posted link. I don't dare post it again for fear of the rath of The Jack of Clubs
Think I might have found the cause, just need to find the solution.

I'm having the same issue, started about 2 weeks ago. Last night i did a factory reset, fresh install of 351, then installed streakdroid 1.9.0 over that and still same thing :/
Open market and everything loads up fine. Tap on any app or my apps and you can see the data connection disappears. Get a pop warning "A network error has occurred. Retry or cancel and return to the previous screen". Wait a second or two and data connection is re-established, tap retry and it works. But this keeps happening every time i tap on something in the market.
So far its looking like an at&t issue.. anyone not on At&t and experiencing the same thing?

Did you have the issue right after you did a factory reset before the market updated?

I think i found a fix.
Under APN's there are 2, one for browsing and supl, and another for mms, while going through the options for them, there is a field for MMSC and MMS proxy. So i just copied those over from the ATT MMS apn to the ATT US apn, and then deleted the ATT MMS apn and issue is now gone.
Here is a guide:
Go to Settings -> Wireless & Network Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names
Open up ATT US, then tap on MMSC and type in http://mmsc.cingular.com, tap ok
Under that, tap on MMS proxy and type in 66.209.11.32, tap OK
Then scroll down to the last item APN type, and check mms (default, and supl should already be checked).
Tap ok, then press the back button.
tap on ATT MMS, scroll down to MMSC and MMS proxy and verify that they are the same that you just entered (just as a double check, don't know if at&t is using different proxies or servers for different regions).
If they're the same then press the menu button and tap on delete apn.
Now you have one apn ATT US that handles Data and mms together. Once you press back or home, your data might cut off for a second, but once it reconnects you should be good.
I've been browsing through market for the past 5 min with no data connection drops. Also sent myself an MMS and it went through, and data on browser and twitter working well. So far its looking good.

Ill give it a try. Other phones have been having the same issues. I checked in other forums.

yeah i've been searching this topic for about the past week and everything i found on it was old, nothing recent within the past 3 months and no one had a solution.
also after the factory reset, and before market updated, i was on wifi since it was downloading a lot of apps so wouldn't have noticed it was doing it before. But you could go into the app settings and uninstall updates if you want to test that out.

Not really cause once its updated something gets changed. Still happens after uninstalling the updates.

Problems sending MMS on stock 4.3

Hey guys
so I took the OTA update to 4.3 Im on MK2 and ever since I updated I have had issues when I try to send people mms.. it could be a simple message with an emoji from the iPhone keyboard or an image..
The messages sent perfectly fine before the update. I noticed in my APN settings I only have an ATT Phone APN.. not a APN for messaging or images or whatever, is there anyone on ATT network either pre or post update that has an additional APN in there settings? Could someone post the settings for theirs if they do?
And if I'm not missing an APN then I have no idea what the deal is, does anyone else have this problem? I've searched the forums but nothing I've seen I applied to my situation and the ones that were close I tried but to no avail.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance,

It should be set up right. What SMS app are you using? Your APN should look like

Yes that's my APN settings... okay well the mms have been sending more successfully recently, however sometimes they just sit there and try to send forever, they won't send or say that they failed sending either.. I am using the stock messaging app.

Yes of course my network data is on. The thing is that even on WiFi the pictures require data to send so typically you send a picture on WiFi you continue to use WiFi but the data emblem will also show up while your message is sent, and even when the pictures just sit there and don't send, the data 4g lte symbol still shows and the message still tries to send..
I dont know what the issue is, but I am going to call AT&T tomorrow because it has been too long for this to be a problem on their network end.

No. I figure that might be the next step.. I really do not want to reset, losing the messages I have saved and all the like really sucks.

i have the same prob factory reset and everything called telus they said phone issues dowloaded custome rom sometimes it works sometimes not. i think its phone try turning wi fi off

International dialing?

Hey everyone. My dad just got a s5 and we synced up his Google account and got all his contacts and stuff on the phone. For some reason every time he makes a call to any of his contacts, the phone automatically puts a + in front of the number which makes it seem like a international call even though he's calling locally. Its really ticking him off and I've looked through the phone and call settings but can't seem to figure it out.
He's using a att straight talk Sim card and I've set up the APN settings from my phone to it so data is working. I changed the network setting from LTE/CDMA to gsm and that still didn't help.
Anyone know what the fix would be to this issue? Thanks

I just checked the APN settings on the phone and it turns out there were no straight talk APN settings put in. My brother had told me he had done it but it turns out he didn't. I put the APN settings in and now the problem went away. Sorry for the thread folks. I'm not sure how to delete the thread.
