MMS issues

I'm on T-Mobile USA and I'm not receiving many MMS messages. The ones that I do receive are blurred very bad. Anyone else having this problem? If so, do you have a fix?

go into your tmobile online account and select galaxy sII as your phone.
should fix it.
some people report immediate fix some say takes 24-48 hours for tmobile to update.

Lol, well the problem is that my other phone is a T-Mobile Galaxy S2. I have no problems until I switch phones unless it changes to something else when I do the swap?
Edit: Still says my phone is the GS2.

I haven't taken the root plunge yet but it might be something that i look into today. For the moment, are there any non-root alternatives?

you can also try setting your phone to Amaze 4G in your t-mobile account profile, that's what I did and it works

Switching to GS2 on Tmobile's site helped!

No signal. Is it hardware?

So here is my gnex. White international. Was running stock perfectly fine last night. No problem. But I woke up this morning and it wouldn't connect to any network. Tried rebooting tried wipes tried choosing networks. Nothing. And so I kindly showed my nexus the way of the root, unlocked boot loader ect. Flashed aokp. Still nothing. Flashed cm9 nothing. So I'm gonna flash a couple kernels. But I wanna know your opinions. Please and thank you

Did you call tmobile? Maybe there's a network maintenance (or failure) in your area.

Bad radio chip, perhaps?
Bad provider coverage?
Bad radio and RIL combination?

[Guide] Sprint/Verizon Galaxy SIII Flash to Page Plus Cellular Tutorial [Video]

I No longer support this thread due to the lack of time I have lately. This video will show you how to get up and running on P+ with 1x data only.
This wil work for the Sprint, Verizon and US Cellular variant.
Yes I can get 3G but, the method is not allowed on this forum.
Please don't PM me asking how to get 3G as I will not reply.
Hit thanks if you watched this video please

Wow awesome Nevell. Thanks so much for this.
A few questions.
How different would it be to flash Straight Talk?
After flashing can I load ROMS like CyanogenMod and such without issue?

On the Sprint one yes but not on the VZW one. As far as flashing to ST you would need a donor phone. I won't go into details but that should be a start for you.

OP updated with new Verizon GS3 fully flashed with 3G youtube video demo.

I have been trying to flash verizon gs3 to sprint, and have talk and text but no data, I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have tried everything. Thanks for your videos and help is appreciated

Why not just trade your VZW GS3 for a Sprint GS3 on your local Craigslist?

I do have the sprint one, but I wanted the GSM capabilities of the Verizon one cause I travel over seas.

I can do 3G on the VZW 1 but I'm not going to discuss the method of doing it.

That's all I need to know if is doable and if it's stable steady 3G.

Can You Develop 4G LTE Only Option On Sprint Nexus?

I am posting here because it seams no one knows why some phones have LTE only options and some do not.
I was wondering if someone can develop this feature somehow if the user is rooted and has there MSL code that doesn't have the LTE only option by Default.
Is this possible via development and if not why?

The only problem with going to LTE only is, on Sprint, LTE only supports data service. So if you went to LTE only you would lose voice service.

I want to lose my voice services. I just want to use my phone as a Data access point.
So do you know if someone can develop this feature?

ah ok, wasnt really clear in your explanation. any of the custom roms i have used i don't ever remember seeing lte only. sorry man wish i could help a little better.

It's possible to have LTE only, yet not many people can develop radios that shut out normal service. Good idea
Though!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Ya what if some one developed a ROM feature to where you can at least disable 3G so the phone could only connect to LTE. This could bypass the possible hardware limitations.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium App

Probably won't work but use efrants return to stock guide and instead of flashing both radios try flashing the LTE radio only and see what that gets you
Bloods thicker than water

I wonder why this is not more popular and why more people are not working on this possibility.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium App

Search in the Play Store for "Network" by Philipp Mangelow. It is actually a shortcut to the phone's built in diagnostics mode. It doesn't work for stock or ROMs with stock kernels, but I have used it to put the phone into LTE-only mode for testing. You will see both GSM and CDMA settings, regardless of which one your phone is. Try them all, sometimes the setting is mislabeled (its a bug with the ROM, not the app).
So in short, even if your ROM doesn't support LTE-only, you have a good chance of this feature with this app.

Man App looks awesome! Your right there is no LTE only option but there is one that is even labeled unknown! lol! I'll try them all and get back to you. Thank you so much for your help I have had such a hard time with this! I really appreciate it.

Okay there was nine options under preferred network tab and all of them did not force LTE. I do not know if I have to reboot or not but if you know anything else that would be great or have any other ideas.
Also there was something about ims registration but I do not know anything about that.

The LTE option only appears on certain ROMs. I forgot which ones, and I can't check right now because I flashed back to stock so I can take my phone to Sprint for repairs (overheating). Try Eclipse, Maddoggin, Carbon, Rasbean, or Jellybro. One of those will have an LTE option I'm sure. What I do is set the LTE option, then below I turn off the radio, and then turn it back on. Oh and sometimes the 4G icon doesn't appear, depending on the ROM, but if you do a speedtest you'll obviously see you're connected to LTE.

Okay I have tried all of them by turning off the radio and turning them back on. Also did not pay attention to names. It still did not work so I guess I will have to try one of those Roms.
Do you know if I can install one of those ROMs with the sprint nexus toolkit? And which ROM would you suggests first.
Also im afraid it might be a hardware issue do you think that is possible? Maybe I got one of the first Sprint 4G LTE Nexuses that you can't split the LTE signal.

no he didnt need to. that is why i reported them.

It takes about the same time to answer a question than to b*tch about it...
ANSWER: Download and flash Eclipse 2.1 ROM (Android 4.1.2) :good:
It has the LTE ONLY option you want. It also has a fantastic array of options and tweaks, and 2-4 times the battery life of a 4.2 ROM or Stock OTA. :highfive:
If the LTE ONLY option doesn't work on the the first try, use the Network app posted above to turn off the radio and back on again. :victory:
