Evo 4G On Straight Talk

I have successfully flashed the Evo 4G to Straight Talk.
The only issue I ran into was MMS. I had to use a different program to be able to use the MMS on the evo.
I have internet working on it at 3G speeds. I it way faster then Sprint or Boosts internet.
The network is super smooth.
If you are wondering how to flash the Evo over to Straight Talk please let me know.
###########################
Use APN Backup & Restore to backup, erase, then put these apns in the folder, and then restore them. Reboot and your MMS will work. Tested on HTC Androids Only.
Let me if you tested them on another phone.
Yes please post instructions

i thought straight talk was on tmobile which uses completely different frequencies than Sprint and requires a SIM card which the Evo doesn't support?
Yeah.. thats what I thought also, so not sure how it would be possible. He never replied back to my PM.
Probably just a troll.

I've had my Evo 4G flashed to Straight Talk since November 2011, but I can't get anymore to stick on the network. When I flash any HTC now it always says "unable to authenticate", but the internet works. I have the same problem with Verizon prepaid, so my question is does anybody know the solution to get HTC's to stay on the network?

Straight talk uses recycled phones and uses all cellphone providers. My sister started with a Sprint phone, went to Verizon and now has an ATT phone till she found good service at home.

Oh, didn't know about that one!! Im still very much interested.
Just wondering how you got your Evo to stay on the network? When I flash a HTC it says "unable to authenticate", but the 3G web works lol. Hope you can help.

what do you mean by flashed, are you spoofing the ESN of your evo to that of a Straight-talk supported phone? and that is not working?
I was not aware that straight talk supports CDMA phones...
You will need a donor phone from straight talk first. Buy a Samsung or LG cdma from straight talk first. Then let me know once you have that.
You will need to activate it.
Then you will need to copy NV Items 464-465 and 1192-1194
Copy the PRL
Copy the NAM and evdo settings

Im sure ill be hitting you up once I upgrade and will put my evo on pre-paid.
I have everything working on all HTC and LG androids so far. I did get a Samsung Transform with no mms but it worked really fast the Internet.
Post your questions here. I will try to make a tutorial but I will be using cdma workshop.3.8 so it may be slightly different

[Q] Pre-paid data only plan, no voice

Is there a pre-paid data only plan that I would be able to use with the nexus 4? I am in the US and AT&T is the only carrier with 3G where I am. Are there actual data-only plans that use AT&T towers that I could use? If not, would there be a way that I could use a prepaid tablet data plan from AT&T? Thanks
I believe straight talk also has data only plans, but not sure if they will work on a phone. Their phone plans are way better than ATT though, and you get same ATT towers/service.

T-Mobile has a 5gb, unl Text and like 100min plan for $30. you get some mins but not alot. You also get T-Mobiles 42 Mbps HSPA+ as well.
That at&t/straight talk may work. I only get edge on T-Mobile in the whole state of Maine so T-Mobile won't work.

Although I don't really need voice/texting and would rather not pay if I don't need to

AT&T themselves have a prepaid tablet plan: http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/plans/dataplans.html
I wonder if they allow that on the Nexus 4. You'd probably have to change APN.

I was looking at that one. You have to give them your IMEI number and I don't have a tablet to do that.

Go into an AT&T store and surreptitiously snoop the IMEI of one of their Android tabs?

AT&T is more expensive than T-Mobile. A lot more, usually.

And like I said earlier I can't use T-Mobile because they have terrible service in the whole state of Maine. If I could get AT&T's 3gb $30 tablet plan to work I'd be a happy camper.

Yes, as pointed out upthread, all comparisons to T-Mobile are irrelevant because T-Mobile is not an option for the OP.
I think I'll got to an AT&T store today and snoop on the tablet IMEI numbers. That is unless someone wants to give me one of theirs, preferably not one registered on AT&T. Why do I have to go through so much trouble just to get a data only plan?!

I can give you the IMEI of my T-Mobile Springboard but there's no guarantee AT&T will like it.

Im ported to straight talk, maybe that has something to do with it. But my girlfriends s3 is ported to straight talk too... and she gets voicmail.

straight talk question

So I'm struggling a little bit here with what to do. I want to switch to straight talk but from what I've seen no matter which variant iget I wont get LTE. Is this true? Do you have any suggestions for a specific variant? Any help would be great. I'm a little lost as theres so much contradicting information out there even from straight talk.
Thanks!
I assume straight talk is from a us carrier? Sounds like you might need the us variant sections as they will probably help you more. You can only get LTE here with the i9305
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
Straight talk uses AT&T's network. Any variant that works with AT&T will work with Straight talk if it is unlocked.

Straight talk now has 4g lte. You can pick up a sim card and a service card at Walmart for about $59.

I have been on straight talk for two months and have had no issues with Data download (3G, H+) here in the Four Corners area of the US. I have tried stock and several custom rom and as long as I enter the information for strait talk APN properly.

AT&T SGH-I337 to Straight Talk

I want to get the AT&T SGH-I337 and use it with straight talk. The reason I wanted to get the AT&T version was that the straight talk service is better when you use the AT&T phones in my area. Do I have that right? If you use the AT&T phone with straight talk, you use at&t towers? If I got the t-mobile version would I still use the same towers as the AT&T phone that I'm using with straight talk?:silly:
So, if I have all that correct, is there any advice with buying this SGH-I337 for use with straight talk? Thanks for your help.
That's exactly what I'm doing right now.
Just make sure you buy the SIM card for att.
