[UPDATE] MMS using 3G ROM Issues (Galaxy S3 ATT) - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

[UPDATE] Here are the roms that it does work on:
- Ariel
- Kyan
Rom's it does not work on:
- Ultimatum
- Tuchmi
- Diet
Ultimately, because Ariel doesn't have many of the bugs that Kyan does and because it has features I miss (long-press notification icons works, etc.) I am sticking with that. It's a really great rom.
[UPDATE] After switching back to Kyan from TuchMi, I found 3G picture messaging does work again. I then tried DIET and it doesn't work on that rom. The only real difference I've noticed is that on Kyan, there is a a fourth option for network mode that includes LTE, even though I don't use that mode.
I'll try stock next.
So if anyone else has had this issue, you may want to just try a different rom. I do not want to continue using Kyan because it frequently and intermittently freezes when switching from portrait to landscape, because Chrome has display issues, and because long-press doesn't work for the notification icons.
Re: settings. I am using the 3G settings found here for HSPA+: http://galaxys3root.com/att-galaxy-s3/att-galaxy-s3-sgh-i717-apn-and-4g-lte-pta-settings/

I am using my old data plan and internet works fine. I am using wap.cingular as my APN. I can get online fine.
However, people are sending me pic messages and I am clicking 'download' and it isn't letting me download them.
I've tried what I thought were the correct Cingular MMS setting and the correct ATT settings.
Any help?

i would strongly recommend you switch roms, to see if that fixes the issue, has it always been like that?

Er, not always. I guess it stopped working after the last. I will switch to STOCK. I had kyan but it frequently crash/froze when switching from landscape to portrait.
What are the correct settings for me to have, anyway?

Have you tried adding your network's APN settings? Do a google search for your carrier's APN settings then add them under settings - wireless and netwrok - mobile networks - access point names.

AT&T and Rogers versions are both the same the APN simply allows the phone to connect to the Required network. Think of it as setting the network settings (Which it is).

Wifi tethering not working for me on stock or cm10

Ok I am on the new unlimited data plan that just came out. I was rooted on the stock rom.
T mob pushed me a text last night saying wireless tether has been blocked for me. I was using the wifi tether app from the play store and it seems I cant use it. I also tried foxfi and its not doing anything.
So I flashed cm10 thinking I could get around it and I saw I couldnt tether still with it?
Edit using uvlh2 radio
Was still using stock kernal
Any ideas guys?

Which radio/baseband are you running? If you've updated to the newest leaks, ie. LI2 or LI3...somehow wifi tethering isn't working. But i've gone back to LH2 and everythings good.

I had the WiFi Tether App v3.1 beta working on H2 on ICS. It will not work on any JB with the same radio.
On frosty's JB ROM, hotspot in settings wanted to start up, but it immediately tried to get me to upgrade to tethering plan - and then would close when I wouldn't.
It only FC'd on Xquizi JB, and the beta will not work there either. The beta had worked on the ICS ROM's I had tried - including Xquizi's. Did not use it enough to be sure TMo would not block it though.
Are you saying it functions but ur getting the upsell page? If that's the case the baseband shouldn't matter. They block ur tethering based on your user agent. Make sure ur not using internet explorer. Best way around it is Firefox w/ the user-agent switcher add-on.
I'll keep that in mind. I however had the text from t mob saying its been blocked. It can still connect to the net but I get the up sell page.

[Q] no mobile data

I know this is not the US Cellular area but I do not think we have one so here it goes. I have US Cellular s3 and have run custom roms for sometime I flashed one the other day and now my mobiel data does not work, everything else is fine text, wifi and phone just mobile data. I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this, I have performed a factory reset and put the phone back to stock with the Samsung upgrade tool, flash counter 0 and status normal. Do I need to flash a new radio or modem and if so can I do it in download mode with the stock rom inplace or will I need to root and put a rom on.
Thank you for helping.

It's your APN settings. Check with your carrier what they are, then go into settings, more networks, mobile network (or something like that) and click on APN. You will have the option to add an APN.

If the other s3 is rooted from Uscc n works on uscc yes you can use the same settings. If you call Uscc they won't tell you BC its rooted. The techs don't even have that info.
You just input the mmsc and all the APN settings in and your data will work.

Flashable Native Tethering for 4.3 TW ROM's

ok so i live and breath tethering so when i upgraded to the 4.3 rooted TW rom i was about to kick myself for not making sure I had tethering. But then I found this zip, tried it, and it failed... at first. So here is how i got it to work, on my phone and my wifes (both T999's).
*-All credit for this goes to Jovy's extensive work and abraham.ramirez for the flashable zip I am just bringing this to the masses
1. D/L android terminal emulator
2. D/L this zip and get it onto your phone somewhere you can flash it
3. open term emu and enter these commands
su(grant/approve)
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm /system/app/Teth*
exit
exit(closes app)
4. reboot into recovery and flash zip
5. after reboot go into settings/More Networks/Tethering - enable tethering
6. hit back button and then go into Mobile Networks/Access Point Names
7. press the circle next to Tethering APN
8. quickly before it jumps to epc automatically hit the menu button(bottom left of hanset) and while the circle is still next to Tethering APN press the Reset to default button that popped up.
9. DONE!!! - Native tethering now enabled... no more TMobile browser popup or user agent changer - connect your laptop, tablet, or whatever and away you go
took me a minute to figure it out on my phone but my wifes went within 2 minutes of having the zip on the handset. Hope this helps.
Same thing was happening to me. Did what you said right here and guess what? IT WORKS!! Thank you so much

Or you can try wifi tether router in the play store which works great too plus your speed doesn't get crippled while downloading data intensive files, like streaming movies etc

Woot Tethering!
Any particular rom? or are you talking about Doc's leak#2?
I also must have tethering working.
Second question how are the new modems working out? I keep seeing peeps saying that they are crappy on wifi and data???
Thanks for the fix... just need to know which rom to use.

Should work for any TW 4.3 rom. Maybe 4.1.2 also but not sure. Cant say anything about the modems yet I'm still trying them out.
just wanted to point out, this is from the UVUEMJ4 leaked rom, in my case it would not work on UVUEMJC (tmos latest ota) i had to pull my framework-res.apk, decompile,mod,recompile and push it back to get it to load and not freeze at boot.
Really. I am on official not leak. Works fine for me.

I have been able to get it to so my network ssid on bot my N10 and my xbox360, but the times when its connected...t theres always an issue where the is no data(internet access) on tethered devices... the xbox goes as far as to tell me its an issue (error) having to do with the IP ... and once you get past the initial settings process.. Dev hasnt been ( or hasnt tried) much help or assistance since.
After I flashed the zip I'm stuck in a bootloop. Any ideas why?

[Q] Sprint LS970 APN Settings

I ported my phone to straight talk from sprint and my data is working but the speeds are very slow. Straight talk told me to manually enter APN settings they provided me but it's not where it is supposed to be under the mobile networks settings. LG support told me it should be there and if it's not that Sprint has removed, hidden or disabled it. Does anyone know how to access APN settings on this phone?

I'm not sure because Ive never had to do it on this phone. I know Sprint has removed/hidden/disabled it. Certain 3rd party messaging apps will allow you to change the apn settings but I dont think it's system wide. I'm not by my phone currently so I cant test this right now but we do have a hidden menu. From your phone dial 3845#*970# to access the hidden menu.
If apn settings aren't in there you could always try a different rom. You would have to be rooted and unlocked with a custom recovery but most of them will allow you to change the apn settings. If you go that route, head over to the original development section for our phone and read the root guide by engine95 found there VERY CAREFULLY. Sorry if this isn't much help but like I said, Ive never had to do this because I'm still on Sprint Stock.
I tried some apps but they don't work on android 4+ they say and I've tried some secret menus with no success. Can't remember if I tried that one or not. Ill check real quick. I am rooted but I've been hesitant to switch Rome since stock works so well but I may have to look into it. Can anyone recommend a hassle free rom?

Yeah I was worried it wouldnt be in there. Most roms have some slight issues, I prefer stock myself and have been modifying it manually. Cyanogenmod 10.2 is probably your best bet though. It's based on Android 4.3, CM 11 is 4.4 based and mostly smooth but still not labeled as stable.
EDIT: Just make sure you make a full backup of what you have now in TWRP. I'd use TWRP 2.5.0.0 btw. Backup all partitions so if something goes wrong you can restore it back. And follow the install directions for CM precisely. Good luck!
try thisOffline SIM APN Database Otherwise consider using a custom rom or even a stock variant.
I'm not sure that database will help me since Sprint is cdma, but also I already have the correct apn settings from straight talk. My phone just doesn't doesn't have the option to input them thanks to Sprint. Cell providers really need to stop locking people in at this point. If your services were good and your price was competitive then people would stay with you, without the gimmicks. Sorry to rant I'm just really sick of all the cat and mouse games of unlocking a phone. I think I probably will just use a custom rom since my phone won't have anymore limitations after that, but that is still more work than I wanted to do just to change apn settings. Thanks for the feedback guys!

I have heard of other apps not having much luck with changing apn settings for us. Even tho I dont currently need it, thanks for the heads up!
It didn't change it for me. It said ICS or later prevents it but it did allow me to open the menu which was good enough for me. Still having a problem where after a reboot it keeps creating the sprint apn after I delete it but I figure that's baked into this stock rom somehow. Prob still be switching roms but I will play with it some more. It also keeps trying to reactivate on sprint but I was glad to at least see the menu. If it were not for some clever sprint engineers that app would have worked perfectly.
