Hey folks, I just got a Touch Pro 2 for Tmobile and had it unlocked so I am using it on ATT. I cant figure out how to get mms (picts sent to me) or the settings for the internet.
also is there any disadvantage to using a unlocked tmobile phone as opposed to a att tilt 2 ?
thanks for you help in advance
Randy
You need to get ATT's settings for internet and media (mms) It probably still has the tmobile settings in it.
thanks for the reply. does anyone know how to set up the mms for ATT ?
help!
I need to do this too but as I see it the T-Mobile settings are locked in and cant be edited or added to.
I'm using a TMO TP2 on ATT also...

To answer this question the only one I've found so far is the lack of 3G, you cant get it over AT&T's network b/c of the difference in hardware.
thanks. anyone else have info on the settings?
found my answer thanks to a constant searching. I found this file which I believe was made by someone on this forum. http://www.4shared.com/file/36880113/e15673cc/shogun_cing.html?s=1 Its a cab file, I did a hard reset of my device installed it and it hooks up the internet and mms settings on its own. Thanks you who ever made this file.
Bingo! Worked for me too...
Newb question here, hopefully someone can help. I have the HSPA Galaxy nexus, voice and text works, but data does not work off of a prepaid sim. Anyone can help? do i need to mess with the settings or prl codes??

Silly question, but does the prepaid SIM include data? Many do not.
If data is available it could be an APN issue.
Hi
I just moved to Thailand. I have an unlocked AT&T Galaxy S3 phone and it's working okay here with a Thai simcard to call and and use 2G network here but I can't get 3G to work. Any suggestions on what needs to be done to make the phone fully functional here?
Thanks

check your IMEI on the phone setting, if it says "0"
the solution for you might be this:

it worked for me
I ported my Sprint Galaxy S3 over to ST with the BYOP program. Calling and texting are fine, I can even receive mms but I can't send out mms and there's no internet connection. I've been on the phone countless times with ST, they always tell me to update my profile and prl..... which is strange because my 3G signal pops up when updating but disappears when its done. Can anyone assist me with this issue? Do I have to update apn settings or something?

Those are for phones with SIM cards, my phone is a CDMA phone. Will it still work the same??
I wasn't directing you to the Sim card solution per say. I was thinking maybe, some of the other trouble shooting options might help you. Have you tried Updating the APN Settings ? You could try ##72786# , but I'm not sure if that will work on ST.

Yes I changed the APN and dialed ##72786#, the 3G sign popped up for updating but disappeared once it was done
So can you actually access the internet ? But have no indicator that your connected. Or you have no data at all ? Can you send SMS / MMS ? What Rom are you running ?

I can't access the internet, no indicator and no data..... I can send sms but I can't send mms. I'm not sure what rom I'm using. Is Rom like jellybean??? And I rooted my galaxy with twrp root thing.
Fox you flash a Rom ? I'm just trying to narrow things down. Make sure it's not a Rom issue.

Yes through Odin. But even before I rooted my device and didn't change the APN..... the same thing happened.
Sounds to me that your APN is not set correctly. Have you double check it. They offer a guide on how your APN settings should be. I had to do that with my brothers AT&T GS3 and after I set the APN I had to call them back to give them the serial # of the Sim card for them to activate it and then restarted the phone and everything works.
Granted it was a GSM GS3 but jus trying to help.
Did you have it programed to Straight Talk or did you go to their website and have them to set it up?
Be now I noticed they offer CDMA service byop. I was thinking of trying that this Friday

This worked for me, my APN settings I changed was good... ST just had to update something on their end and I reactivated. My data is working, thank you.:good:
I have an unlocked stock rooted AT&T i747 running 4.1.2. I want to use it on the Bell network. When I put in a Bell sim, it shows it has service, and the pda.bell.ca APN shows up, but it can't find the Bell network, only Rogers. Just wondering if anyone else has tried the same thing and had success or no? As it is I cannot call, text, or browse... Please let me know if there is anything I can do.
Is there an option in the network settings to select lte or wcdma?
Did you check to make sure the phone isn't listed as being blacklisted?

I haven't located any settings about WCDMA or LTE. On my i747m I'm used to being able to toggle between 2G/3G/4G. Nothing like that here. Bell's IMEI check approved it, and it's not on the national blacklist.

You say the Bell APN shows up but are you using it?
Trying to... However I'm still not getting any data service.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434995 has the APN, I assume you already looked it up but can be useful.
Getting service but no data is usually just not having data turned on.. So obvious question: Do you have it turned on in your settings/pulldown menu?
If your APN checks and data is turned on, you might have to give Bell a call (don't have to tell them you have a US variant).
Thanks for your input. Data is definitely turned on. However, please remember that it's not only data that isn't working. I am also unable to call and text.

Can you check to make sure your baseband matches your bootloaders? If it does, I'm out of options for now. Bell (or someone else) can probably help you further.
Sorry for not being overly knowledgeable...
How can I tell what bootloader I'm running?

Ok. I found how tell what bootloader I'm running. The baseband and bootloader do match.

Back to the same question
So... This phone has sat around for a few months, and now I want to sell it to a friend of mine on Telus. Anyone know what we need to do to make it work???

Once the phone has been unlocked, it will work on all carriers except Wind and Mobilicity.

It seems it should be that way... the phone is unlocked, but when I put a Bell sim in it it says emergency calls only. The only network that comes up to set as default is Rogers. Can you advise me as to how to make 100% sure the phone is unlocked?
Are you running a custom ROM? Can you change the network settings to wcdma only?

I rooted it with Chainfire's Odin Autoroot, but everything else is stock... I can't find a way to change the network settings to wcdma only... I'm trying to use it on a GSM network, anyway. Or am I not understanding?

Which carrier are you trying to use the phone with? If it is Telus/Bell/Koodo/Virgin, it should work without changing anything.
The only networks that support GSM are Fido and Rogers.

Ok sorry, I think I got confused about the wireless technology. I'm trying to use it on Bell or Telus, but no luck. I guess I should try an AT&T sim in it and see if the phone works at all...

What stock ROM is on the phone? I had an i747m that was locked to Bell. I used the free method to unlock it, updated to 4.4.2, and it works perfectly on Rogers and Koodo.

Yeah, makes me think that maybe this is faulty hardware or AT&T somehow hamstrung this thing...

The ATT should work on Bell and Telus. My Bell i747m could roam on ATT when I travelled to the USA.
Just to confirm: you can connect to the Rogers network but not Bell or Telus?
