Ok,
I have found very scattered info on how to do this so if someone can assist me i'd appreciate it.
I have an carrier unlocked cdma trophy that is running a 7.8 custom rom.
I am using this phone on Straight Talk.
I understand that the radio doesn't support At&t's frequency and I can only get EDGE speeds and am fine with that.
I need to ass Straight Talks profile to the connections app.
I have the xml file configured correctly and have also installed htc-provxml-deploy.
I looked in the root of the device for a folder called provxml to add the profile xml file in to but there is no folder. I went ahead and created on to no avail.
I looked all over the place for the other xml profiles and can't find them.
Where in the HECK! do i put this file.
I'm just trying to get the mms apn set up correctly so I can send a get pics....
HELP!!!

I have an unlocked MDA i'm using on at&t, i am having troubles trying to use modem link on it, it has tmobile 2.26 rom on it, but when i try to use modem link i can't change the access point name, it says wap.voicestream.com and gives me no other options, nor does it give me the option to add a new access point. Internet, MMS, SMS all work fine, just unable to use modem link. Also i can't get the computer to recognize it as new hardware even when i activate modem link as voicestream.com. Is there something in the registry that i need to change like i had to in order to remove the grayed out portions on MMS settings? Sorry for the long post, i'm still kinda new to the whole wizard game, but i must say this site is a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I'm in dire need of assistance please. This is my first attempt of cooking my own ROM so please pardon if the question is dumb.
I have a kitchen for the Sprint Touch (CDMA Vogue). It's a 19588 based clean kitchen.
However, when I launch Pocket IE and it attempts connect, the following error is displayed:
Cannot Connect
Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap settings.
I recently found out the ROM is Sprint Based, and the IOTA from OEMAPPS, the Registry and initflashfile.dat were deleted. In order to have this connection set up automatically I should I should just drop the Operator files and folders back into OEM.
Okay great. I got a hold of the Sprint Leaked 3.02 ROM and was able to extract the OEM and SYS folders. I found the OEMOPERATORS, OperatorPKG, and OperatorPKG_PT folders. I noticed the OperatorPKG includes a bunch of files and customizations I don't want or need.
All I like to do is have the phone setup the Sprint PCS connection which dials #777 when an application attemps to access the internet.
Would some one please be kind enough to advise me which files I need to copy into my OEM folder in order to accomplish this.
Thank you.
My Xv6800 data does not work. I've done everything that i found from the forums. Anyone have any advice? I did 2.40 olipro, then did stock rom, then DCD 3.2.6 and radio 3.42.50.
Did you load your carrier cab? I am assuming since you have an XV6800 that you Verizon, if so get the Verizon cab and install it.
Cabs are available here.

You will have to add the cell modem back in your self. When you flash with the custom rom there is no cellular modem added by default . It's documented some where (I had the same issue the first time I flashed). You have to go to connections click add then select cellular modem. Make sure you have the correct network settings (UN/PW) and your all good to go.

IS there any way to made a carrier cab? I do not see the one I need on the list. I have the original phone and I can pull it off from that phone.

I think you need to refer to the post by BillThyCat because your wrong about that. A cab file is all it takes.
The only reason you would need to load a cell modem driver is if you were going to have it connect to a different ISP that your default carrier data network, as far as I know, as I have never had to load any sort of driver to get my phone back on the data network after flashing.
If your carrier isn't listed, and you have the original phone still handy, I believe there is info you can copy from your EPST screens and put into your new phone that will reenable data. Tho this is something I have not had to do since I have a carrier cab available.
What carrier do you have? Maybe someone else here with the same carrier can help out.
You may need to recreate the dialup connection under network connections as well, with most carriers the dialup # is #777 and then you use a login and password that is unique to your account. It's possible your carrier help desk may be able to walk you thru how to reconfigure this. Depends on the carrier.
This doesn't require software, just some configuration on the phone.

i just bought a htc Magic. I do not have a date plan!
How do i block all the applications that use the interent so i don't get charged for using data?
But
When i am in a wifi area i want to be able to use the applications like internet because it will be free because it is WIFI.
I have bin trying to research the htc magic... Not sure exactly what rooting is but i am interested in loading a custom driver or something along those lines. i want to be able to install apps on my memory card and remove stock apps that come with my "Rogers provider" and apps like "market"
Can anyone help me?

The simple solution is to rename your default APN to something else.
For example:from default to default_off.
You can find this settings under settings->Wireles&Networks->Mobile Networks.
Or download application like "Apn switch" from market that wil do the same
Joze
there is no Wireles&Networks in the setting option there is Wireless controls.
Can some one help me? i want to restrict my apps on my HTC magic from using data from rogers. But if i am in wifi i don't care if they get information from that(like weather market etc.).
Also how do i delete stock apps that came on my HTC because i go into my all program and there is crappy rogers apps and some crappy HTC apps i can't delete
( i have bin getting texts fROM rogers saying that i am trying to use data)
please can some one help me. If i need a custom rom i will do that if necessary.( i like that stock rom that came with my HTC tho)
Well, have you looked in there for mobile networks and APNs or Access point names?
I have Android 2.1 installed and so I have diferent settings menu.
ok i found something that says APN i typed in default_off and saved it. ( before it said something with rogers name in it)
So now my phone woun'r try and use data?
Actualy you should have changed APN type not APN name from default to something else.
Sorry I was not clear anough.
Yes changing the name does nothing, you will need to either delete the APN settings called Rogers or Rogers MMS and/or blank all the settings in the Rogers APN.
Custom ROM's are not always needed to install apps from the sdcard. Just install Astro File Manager from the Market (free) then go to the root of your sdcard and click on the app/apk you have on your sdcard and allow it to install.
Also do not delete the Market that it used to get the apps you want using wifi unless you are downloading the apk and putting them on your sdcard to install.
You need to edit the APN and change the APN address that says something like "rogers-core-appl1.apn" to something else. Problem is, I'm pretty sure this will get repopulated on reboot.
Why not just call Rogers and have them block ALL mobile data on your account, then you have no worries.
waaaaaait a minute.
correct me if im wrong but isnt this a simple way of doing this:
settings --> wireless controls --> uncheck mobile network
for me (running official rogers 1.5 rom with sense UI update), this turns off all data services and maintains voice functionality.
when i turn on wifi and connect to a wifi network, my data services are good to know as they automatically use the wifi connection.
shouldnt this do the trick? or do not all ROMs have the setting above that i mentioned?
i wasn't able to go into Access Point names and delete Rogers but i went in and changed APN and APN address and changed it to default_off. But then i changed MMSC: "i'm not able to show you the adress" to blank. After i did that it let me delete the hole access point thanks everyone i think its going to work now haven't bin getting any e-mails from rogers.
Yea ill try asking them to block ALL mobile data to my account. But not sure if they will because they normally don't sell smart phones without a data plan.
Yea i all ready downloaded and installed astro file manager. Ill just load up apps from the pc because i think market uses mobile data because when i go to use it it says "Background data disabled"... And I'm not sure if i should enable it.
thanks everyone think it's all good now
"background data" what dose that mean? dose it mean mobile data usage or dose it just mean programs running in the background
Apps running in the background is what android does anyway. "Background data" is exactly what it says "data" that happens in the "background"(IE: when you exit the app). "Data" being information that transfers over the mobile data network.
Edit: On my MT3G on T-Mobile, changing the APN so that it's invalid (example, my APN is epc.tmobile.com I simply took out the periods) disables the data connection. It was not corrected by a reboot. However, I'm on Cyanogenmod 5.0.7 test5, not a default rom.
I'm a little confused. should i enable "background data"?
But keep in mined i don't want to use mobile data.. i only use wifi
......... bump...
I have an idea.
sprint uses http://mms.sprintpcs.com
does anyone know what verizon uses?
ive done all kinds of google-ing and i cant find ****!
If someone can figure that out and post, i *may* be able to get this damn mms issue fixed!
thanks guys!
Here's how you can fix MMS for sprint-based roms:
Install and run a program called APN Backup and Restore from the market
Download and extract this attachment
Put the xml file (apns-Ivan.xml) in the /ApnBackupRestore/ folder on your SD card
Choose Backup APNs in the program. This makes a copy of your current APN file in case something goes wrong.
Choose Delete APNs
Choose Restore APNs and then choose apns-Ivan.xml from the list
Let me know if you need any other help.
no
CM builds dont work that easily
I wasn't sure what rom you were asking about. The APN trick only works on Aloysius, etc.
For the CM-based roms, I think each thread has their own fix. What rom are you using?
none of the builds have an actual fix. thats what me and conap have been working on. im on white widow. we have tried all the fixes, im looking into a new idea though.
thats why i need that info i posted up top
Gotcha. I'm pretty sure Verizon's address is http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
Edit:
If that doesn't work, try http://mms.vzw.com/servlets/MMS
I found that one on some WinMo forums.
awesome! you rock. thanks.
No problem, let me know if you need any other help.
well i finally got mms working on my droid eris on CELB 2.5 and im not using handcent either. Instead of using apn backup and restore i just adb pushed the telephony.db file and it worked!. granted im on a different carrier but it worked just fine for me.
