I was wondering if anyone has Straight Talk with T- Mobile using a Galaxy Nexus. Do you guys really get unlimited everything? And do mms work for sending and receiving? I'm thinking of switching to this if everything works well and if it has good service

Not really a good idea to stream music or video all day with Straight Talk, but may be able to get away with it by leaving proxy field blank in APN settings. I have Straight Talk and use less than 1 gig of data per month and it is perfect for me.
Thanks guys

I Just traded a buddy a note 2 for my galaxy s3 plus 200 buck and he gave me the phone and at first i thought everything was great but he had been using the phone on att unlocked and paid to have it unlocked so when I put my sim in the phone it didnt read 3g or 4g for tmobile so I went home and rooted the phone and flashed a custom rom and still really really bad data connection .. If I drive in the middle of town my phone gets maybe 1 bar of 3g or 4g and cuts out so went to tmobile store and they called tech support and they said the phone was unlocked and there was a hardware or software problem with the phone so I have no clue were to check .. I have insurance but because the phone is so new insurance wont cover it because its a hardware or software problem so if you have any way to fix this please please please help thanks..
P.S I have tried loading custom recovery , rom and kernel and nothing still data problems . If I search for network it comes up with att and some numbers 311660 under available networks so there is no tmobile to chose from so is the phone done ??
Bump anyone ?

Im not 100% positive but I think you are SOL. I was reading threads about this recently and people were having similar issues. From what I read there was nothing that could be done. I'm sure someone smarter than me will know.

The guy who unlocked it in the first place probably used the same method, you could always try to redo it, other than that I would dial *#0011# while data is connected and see what band your on and what mcc mnc (or whatever it is on the 2nd line)... some people have report issues based on certain connections

Hi guys! I just got my galaxy s4 yesterday. I rooted it, and I got wifi tether on the device. It didn't work, and I was wondering if it was the app's problem for not having support for gs4, or tmobioe blocking any tethering action for people with no hotspot plan, or that I just have the settings wrong. Can anyone help me? Thank you!

Maybe it's a carrier thingy, my friend's iPhone 5 can't enable hotspot... Anyway check if you have correct APN.

Changing the APN (Access Point Name) won't make tethering "work". There are strings in the framework that need to be modified for it to work without getting cut off. Believe me I know, I had the fix in my ROM for the Note 2. The guy above is posting from outside the USA/T-Mobile with an Xperia lol.
Ohhh okay. So no way until someone makes a rom that can breai away from tmobile stuff?

I had used APN backup & restore on both S3 and Note 2. Hopefully, its dev will be able to setup an APN that will work with the S$.
Note - it will only work on 3/4 G, so you would loose LTE after restoring modified tethering APN, so you would have to backup the LTE APN and then restore it when you want to go back to using LTE.
There is no unlimited mobile hotspot yet, until then, you can call T-Mobile and they have free tethering for up to 500Mb until someone can unlock it for us.

As I said it's as simple as modifying a few strings in a framework apk.

Same problem without rooting
Guys,
I just bought the At&t version of S4, got an unlock code for Sim and put in the nano T-mobile sim, all was good, got 4G internet from T-mobile and made calls. Tried to turn on my hotspot feature from the phone itself because T-mobile hotspot is free up to a limit.
Was not able to turn it on, it kept going to the off position with the error "MOBILE DATA IS NOT AVAILABLE OR INVALID SIM".
Of course I had my wifi connection off and had 4G connection from T-mobile. Got off with t-mobile customer service and got their APN settings, was nothing to change.
Yet my own samsung hotspot feature doesn't turn on. I think samsung has turned off this feature in US versions of S4, so even if you root, you wouldn't be able to get hotspot on.
At least that is my two sense on this matter. IF any body knows how to rectify this issue, please help.

It's saying invalid, because the strings in the framework point to an AT&T APN. Once again.....the strings will need to be changed for this to work.
I know that this method works with any plan, because I had the android preferred (5gb no tethering for $20) and now have the truly unlimited; and the method I speak of works on both.

Hey were you able to make the zip?
I recently started having an issue with my S3. I cant recieve calls or text messages. I dont use google voice, and have done the ## codes to no avail. I contacted sprint and they told me there might be an outage but my room mates also on sprint have no issues. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Look in settings/more/about device/device status and scroll down to see your IMEI and make sure you have 15 digits. I know in the past some have lost this going from aosp/aokp back to TW.

I have stock rom, and I have all 15 digits. Phone has been never rooted.

Find out if you are on the most recent prl version and if you are then I would tell Verizon you want a replacement because maybe you have a bad radio or something along those lines .

Hello everyone. I am new here and this is my first post. I'm hoping I can get some help to figure my phone out. I have a Verizon Note 4 on Cricket. I have a couple problems. 1. Sometimes when I get an incoming call the caller i.d. breaks the phone number into international calling format and it will show it as a German city call like "Luxembourg ". Of course I can't call the number back from that caller i.d. I have to go into my contacts to call back if I miss a call. 2. My voice mail no longer works. The guy at cricket Downloaded The Cricket visual voice mail app for me. It works sometimes. Also I had to download a different sms app and dialer app too. I believe Cricket knows about these problems but doesn't have a fix for it. My network mode was on global but I changed it to GSM but that didn't fix it. Any ideas on how to fix this? Maybe a root? If there is no fix then does anyone know if this problem exists with a att note 4 on cricket? I could possibly trade it on c-list. Thanks for any help. I really appreciate it!
Anybody?

Sorry to hear you're having these issues. I went through the exact same thing. I have been using Cricket for more than 12 months now.
The '+1' dialing code was a constant issue for me too. There is an option in the settings tab when you open your dial pad, you need to diable or uncheck an option if I remember correct but there is a fix.
I got the note 4 from Verizon when it first dropped and after finding out about the locked bootloader, that was the final nail in the coffin. Traded it in soon after because I wasn't getting LTE speeds either. Just H+ which is 4G. Big no no. Swap it out for a T-Mobile Note 4 buddy.
Let me know if this helps.

Thank you for the reply. I ended up going back with Verizon and everything is good. Except for the $100 a month. Lol.. I'm trying to trade it for a GSM note 4. So you say Tmobile note 4 runs lte on Cricket?
