Ok, I have the 2.1 build running and save the ferocious battery drain its pretty good (bravo all) - there is one thing tho' that is bugging me, on my native android 2.1 phone I have a checkbox switch to disable the data service, its found by navigating as follows:
Settings > Wireless & network > Mobile networks > Data Service [checkbox]
I have asked in the thread for the build but despite someone telling me it exists, he declined to actually say where!
Please, can someone enlighten me where it is (if it exists - I assumed that the 2.1 builds would use exactly the same ui components...)
cheers,
dan
you can use QuickSettings app instead
Yes it exists because I got in with my most recent download. And yes it works, damn handy too. Give me a moment to check where I downloaded it from.

Incognito win vista 32 drivers
Samsung Fascinate Drivers
STEPS FOR THE INCOGNITO DATA EXTRACTION ETC.
--1—after you have successfully installed the Incognito drivers please connect the phone. Launch CWS and connect to the dial port. Read the phone and head to the Security tab.
Click on SPC/lock and pull the curtain and select Universal Ram once done search for incognito. Send the spc once is retrieve and read and save NAM to a folder of your choice. Name it whatever you want, next head to other tab and read PRL and also save it to same folder. *found out the phone will work better with the PRL the incognito was working with. Don’t write anything from sprint may dropped your signal. I know is weird does not makes sense but feel free to explore.
Because of sprint prl it would override my data info and had to restart the process again. My experience. Now access the Memory tab under NV items and read the following numbers 465,466,1192,1194 each one individually. Your beginning address is the same as your end address for example: starting 465-465 do not do 0465-0465. Won’t work and may brick your fascinate once you write, repeat the process for each one and save with whatever name, preferably as the number item you are using. *very important* now we want to manually copy down your user id. On the phone dial ##3282# it will bring you to a menu insert your spc and access user name. please copy exactly.
Turn off your incognito and put it away. Take the battery out you don’t want someone else turning it on by accident. It will scramble your data settings on the fascinate.
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO A FACTORY RESET ON THE FASCINATE. We don’t want any bits of information from a previous setting creating conflict with the new data.
At this point your Samsung Fascinate have acquired a new Dec number that was done that you don’t know, want to know or talk about. Main point is that you did not do it.
After reset phone will want to be activated. To bypass please dial *#83786633 and the Home Key
Now you want to enable the hidden menu. *#22745927 it will take you to a screen and select enable hidden menu.
DIAL ##3282# or **3282 or ##3282 which ever works for you send spc and change the user id on the phone to the one that you wrote down earlier. REBOOT
Depending on the rom you are using the DIAG option is under WIRELESS & NETWORK please select it and now your pc will be installing the required drivers if you have not installed them before.
Launch CWS and select port, read info and head to Security Tab. You must send the 16 digit password in order for all data to write correctly. If you don’t know this number here it is 2010031619780721. By default the password is 000000 but it will not work until you have enable hidden menu. Lets continue.
Once you have sent the spc please access the NAM and load the one you previously saved from the incognito, and click write.
Now do the same thing for the PRL on the Other tab. Exit cws and reboot, after reboots reconnect send 16 digits, you could do the 000000 but for some reason I feel that it does not writes everything correctly.
Head to the NV items section and Hit Write, it may say that you may needs spc first just click yes and load the 1st nv item starting with 465 from the file you saved them earlier in an ascending pattern. One all 4 items have been written exit cws and wait for it to reboot. Disable DIAG MODE. After the phone has finish loading the sd card etc if the 3g signal does not start after 10-15 seconds the following applies. Most likely you will need the next step.
Launch QPST 2.15 if you do not have cws you need to install QPST 2.7.323 due to the fact that under 2.15 the fascinate will appear under W5-FFA6250-T with limited tabs and NAM and MIP is not available.
Once online with QPST 2.15 we need to figure out the PPP config tab. Read the info on the phone and replace with the following data. This is what works with me whether on boost or Sprint alone
The following are horizontally just follow the name on each section,
-RM- ppp parameters
Config tries—Request timeout—Config NAK tries—Terminate tries—Request Time out—Comp settings—PPP Auth
20 1000 3 2 3000 5 3000
20 1000 3 3 1000 Disable
20 1000 3 3 1000 Ignored
User id do not high light it uncheck required pw Under PPP only click it but not check
-UM- same as above follow pattern
User ID this is funny and it should not work but it does. [email protected]
All lower case please.
Make sure that all is lower case. Also the password just click the box don’t check it leave it blank
Optimized Dormant Handoff box Checked do not click the 1xEVDO
-AN-
Userid
[email protected]@hcm.sprintpcs.com
Hit first save the Qpst file and write.
The phone will reboot but do not disconnect it until it has completely loaded all options. Disable Diag mode and with in 10 to 15 seconds you should have 3g. I was able to obtain 800-1350 kbs with speedtest.net
Note if you have another phone and want the data from the other phone the AN user id has to be same one that you program the very first time. Yes I know it does not make sense. But it does works. I hope this works for me as it has for me. It works for me and have reprogram various.
Any new news on this. Have a friend interested in this.

You need to be using a 2.1 rom with dial up networking mode or use 2.2 with the settings mod for it to be able to be read by QPST. and you need TWO versions of QPST for the settings to stick on the fascinate. after you've cloned the incognito make sure u turn that **** OFF!!! forever... just break that **** forreal because if not it will mess up the data settings (or get u in trouble for cloning since its "illegal"). This works the same as flashing to Cricket, as i know because i've flashed both of mine to cricket the month after we switched from t-mobile because of those two bs 200 dollar phone bills (now 113 for two lines). we dont use that much mobile data right now because we have WiFi at home.
My friend did this on his epic and it works flawlessly. I was actually gonna sell my fassy for 200 (i can get a new one from this store right around the corner to flash for 200). So if anyone wants a fascinate, i'll sell them it for 200, so i can get a epic on boost, and 35 a month with shrinkage plan =O
Really, you should look on the flashing the fascinate to cricket thread its much less jumbled. just take the incognito settings plug them in to qpst in the fascinate (exactly) and then the data "should" work. thats what he did lol... i was there the last 30 minutes before he got it actually working. PM me and i can put u on with him if you need help.
Wait a second, so I can take a boost phone and run it on the vzw network? Data and all? For pennies on the dollar?

Nick were you able to make it work? it should work mostly in any rom. better on 2.2 faster 3g. I clocked that phone at 1450 kbps. My little brother has it now. no problems at all. let me know if you need help
NO not on the VZW but on boost or cricket or any other company.

you will get that but the 1x signal which is bull****, I am running this thing faster than the evo on Sprint 3g mode, we are actually talking about true 3g not your typical 400-800 kbps bs. cricket is different and much easier, cricket oass cricket etc bs, so simple even a cave man can do it. lol....
Is this usable on GB? I think cm7 breaks data ...

nice quide , it was really helpful , i have the fascinate working with 1x speed on boos which is suprisingly fast , i cant get mms to work though , any ideas .
I have 2 fascinates over on boost, I have not tested out the mms at all but I have full 1x and 3G speeds. if you dig around for boost mms on other phones for you will find things like
`` Dial ##3282#, edit and enter your epic’s spc, scroll down and on change the MMSC URL to “mm.myboostmobile.com” ``
and
``
MMSC: http://mm.myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com
MMS proxy: I left mine blank
MMS Port: 80
``
I used the later settings, but as I said, I have not tested my mms yet..
I have talk and text working fine,and I have the 3 g Icon but no internet .........can some one. please me

If so, how did you fix MMS for our phone? It something that I still have problems with.
I was able to find a solution to my problem. Although I'm still having trouble with TW ROMs, AOSP ROMs work great with this.

Ok, I had the same MMS issues after flashing June 29th's nightly in that I couldn't receive MMS.
DISCLAIMER: My service provider is Ting - which is a Sprint MVNO (a hell of a lot cheaper, see sig). There are known problems of running custom firmwares on Ting because the provisioning doesn't get set right from Sprint. Because of this, we custom-ROMers have to edit our APNs to make MMS work.
With that that said, I had to edit the APN file and select the correct one in the APN settings. Once i did that, BAM, I could send and receive MMS from other Ting users as well as verified from Verizon and AT&T. The only thing I haven't verified is MMS from other Sprint users, since I have changed the APNs (will do that later today).
NOTE: The instructions below is to get MMS working on the Galaxy S4 with CM10.1 Nightly build June 29th. You may ignore the mms.plspictures.com settings, and it may work for normal Sprint users. Or hell, try to use the mms.plspictures.com anyways to see if it works on Sprint. mms.plspictures.com seems to be an open gateway for any carrier, as it is specified as the Roaming option in stock ROMs.
Step 1: The apn.conf.xml file...
First thing I noticed when starting to flux with my APNs is that CM10.1 includes a butt-load in their drops - that every variant gets (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Boost, Sprint, etc etc). Nothing about Ting in here. It seems to be a one-size fits all.
Someone that has the time to research what each specific setting is, and the codes, might be able to clean up CM10.1's APN file to match/get updated to match the Samsung oem one for Sprint variants. But I don't have that time.
At first, I tried to edit the CM10.1 file for Ting-specific requirements: replace all instances of mms.sprintpcs.com with mms.plspictures.com. This did not work, though I forgot about Step 2 below so it may have worked.
What I did was to copy the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4's stock/oem apns-conf.xml file off before I threw CM10.1 onto the phone. This file is attached as:
Code:
// original Sprint Galaxy S4's APN file attached
//
apns-conf.xml.gs4-oem.zip
// rename it to apns-conf.xml if you plan to use it.
//
// this file exists in /system/etc/
// you must mount as read/write to copy the file
// (or use root explorer, es file explorer, etc).
//
You'll notice it is a hell of a lot smaller than the CM10.1 version. Again, I think the CM10.1 version is a one-size-fits-all approach. How about we just use the Spring version, since that is our variant? See attached gs4-oem file.
Now, this still did not work on the S4 with CM10.1 6/29/2013 nightly. So I edited the file to match the Ting specifics outlined above, with mms.plspictures.com. Still didn't work.
Finally, I forgot one last step...
Step 2: Specify which "APN to use", whatever that means...
There is one last step you must do when editing this APN file: you have to "edit and select it" elsewhere in the UI. For some reason, while this does list the the APNs in your config file, the settings are still wrong. You have to change them as well.
With CM10.1, there is a "Voice Dialer" app. You must use this app to access the APNs to edit and select as I have no idea how to get to this edit screen without that Voie Dialer app. On Samsung's S4 stock ROM, there is a ##....# combination to enter to get to a similar menu - but still different.
1) Open Voice Dialer and say, "Open A P Ns", just like that.
2) Once open, you'll have to go into each APN and see if it lists mms.sprintpcs.com. If it does, change it to mms.plspictures.com. Change each and every one you see.
2b) If you edit, REMEMBER TO SAVE IT! This is so cumbersome, but after you edit a field, make sure to click the Menu button, and there is the hidden option to "Save" it. If you just click back, you'll loose your changes.
3) lastly, you'll need to select/click on the bullet-point to select the one you edited. If you are using the CM10.1 apn-conf.xml file, it's your best guess as to which one to select - I can't help you there. Using the attached apn-conf.xml.gs4-oem.zip, you only have 1 to select that had mms.sprintpcs.com.
4) Reboot.
A note on step 2 above, I was using the oem Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 apn-conf.xml that I attached to this post. So I only had 3 listed, and only 1 had the mms.sprintpcs.com. If you don't use the oem Sprint apn.conf.xml and want to try using the CM10.1 version, you'll be editing 4 or 6 of them! Yes, there's a lot more to edit. Make sure to edit each and every one though, because that's the only way I got my Galaxy Nexus to work on Ting as well. But now my Galaxy Nexus is using this same apn-conf.xml.gs4-oem.zip that I attached, only 1 to edit now.
OT: MMS over WIFI: the holy grail for us Ting users is getting MMS working over WIFI with AOSP-based ROMs (so we can limit our data usage). I've tried dozens of combinations and have come to the conclusion that the stock Messaging app in AOSP (and any AOSP-based ROM across several devices) is somehow hardcoded to use only a specific mobile-specific APN for sending and receiving MMS. If I ever get the time, among my dozens of other projects (building a house, by hand!), I would grab a dump of the AOSP, looking for how a text message is received and determined to be an MMS message, and see how it accesses which APN/network device to send/receive with. I would then compare it by decompiling the oem Samsung Galaxy S4's Messenger APK (if it is not obfuscated) - because the stock Samsung Galaxy S4 DOES SEND OVER WIFI! I verified this with Ting billing, as well as leaving Mobile Data off all of the time as well as with BetterBatteryStats (after I rooted the stock S4) and looked at what was using network bandwidth. Samsung's stock (and really sh1tty / non-Emoji-compatible / non-Japanese friendly / compresses images too small - all compared to AOSP's original Messaging app) Messaging app was listed as using Wifi for the size of the pictures I was sending!
Such a PITA...

Now that we have root for the At&t variant I just want to ask if anyone has figured out how to enable the native hotspot setting for those of us on unlimited data plans. Currently I'm using the app "WiFi tether router" which works, but is cumbersome and drains battery at an incredible rate. Perhaps the native app would drain as well, but at least it's a first-party solution. I see discussion on how to enable tethering on the Sprint and T-Mobile variants by adding dun to the apn but that has no effect on At&t so maybe this thread is warranted. Hopefully, someone has a hack right now, if not I'm sure one will be made soon.
1. Download " setting data base editor" from play store
2. Select system
3. Find " tether_entitlement_check_state "
4. Chage the value "0"
No root need
Like they tittle Say anyway to bypass T-Mobile tether?
If rooted...
Then theres various ways to bypass and if used together chances are good you won't have to pay 2x for data: modifying your apn to allow dun type, adding the line: net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
to your build.prop and finally using adb from a PC (u can try this even if not rooted) type the following from cmd or powershell: "adb shell" followed by "settings put global tether_dun_required 0" without the " "s and restart your phone n hopefully that should do the trick.
If still throttled by TMo go into Magisk and install tethering_enabler or TTL tethering modules. These modules weren't specifically made for the 6T but they should still be effective. If still unsuccessful then modifying the TTL from the device your trying to tether to will help hide the source of data aim for TTL of 65 to confuse tmo.
If your not rooted then use PDANet USB tether to a PC and hide tether options then create a hotspot from the PC your USB tethered to or use the WiFi Sharing option in PDANet PC Menu. At least thats what works the best for me and I've tried many many things... One other possibility if your on stock no root is to add a new apn with all the same info as normal fast.tmobile.net lte apn only enable MVNO type to GIO for apn type leave it blank and save it. This should hide the default TMobile apn (and make the editor think your using a 3rd party like Mint) now go back and edit the new apn and under apn type put: dun,default,mms,supl try and save it. It should error n say dun not supported... Press Home and force close settings-reboot phone. The dun sometimes will stick if this method isn't patched yet I'm sure it will be soon.
Your final options are to use an app from playstore like VPN Hotspot or VPN Tether they might slow your speed a bit but they should tunnel all your data thru a VPN confusing TMo as to the origin of data. Probably the best and easiest way is by using a custom ROM as most haven't been tainted by Google's latest CarrierConfigManager commits or carrier apn restrictions. If anyone knows how to reverse these commits easily or any other methods not listed please let me know.
I'm currently looking for a clean TMo only dun enabled apns-config.xml so I can overwrite the default n modify the build.prop for a quick fix on any new ROM or update...
As you can probably tell being throttled or having to pay 2x for the same data is a pet peeve of mine and I've spent some time researching the topic. I'd love to hear what ended up working for you or if anyone knows a solid method I missed. Or has a recommendation for a good ROM with unlimited hotspot features built in for the 6t let me know.
I installed the app from this thread, https://www.xda-developers.com/vpn-hotspot-share-vpn-connection/. You can also download the app in the Playstore. I also subscribe to Private Internet Access (https://privateinternetaccess.com) and they have an app that you can download from the playstore.
My phone contract has overseas roaming for a number of days but it restricts tethering and hotspot when roaming. The way I bypass this limitation is to run the PIA VPN, then run the VPN Hotspot app, and use the "Repeater" function. This has worked flawlessly sharing my internet connection with other devices..

Be sure you reset APN to default values after you install this new file....
Thanks bro I'll test it out...if it works care if I add it to the main post? Yeah I mentioned the VPN app along with a VPN my only issue with that method is the decrease in speed and some apps/devices don't like the VPN way much. Wish google would stop letting carriers dictate Android or itd b nice if the US would put their foot down and not allow companies to bend us over lock our bootloader's, phone's, devices we pay for or try and swindle us by charging 2x for data or throttle us...

Not sure what I did wrong, but it's not loading for me. All my APNs disappeared. I reset to default after replacing with the one provided.
Well, I know this post is rather old, but I made a Magisk module that does everything for you...
