[Q] Unable to send IM from unlocked T999 - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I have T-mobile Galaxy S3 T999. I unlocked it and now using it outside US with different carrier. It runs the pre-loaded Jellybeans OS.
It works perfect on wifi. However whenever I am connected to 2G, none of the instant messaging works! Internet browsing works on 2G however whatsapp, Google Talk, FB Messenger won't work! I used to use same SIM card (with same provider) on iPhone 3GS, and everything used to work fine.
What could be the problem?

I doubt it because web browsing works fine. E.g. FB app works but FB messenger doesn't. Gmail does but gtalk doesn't.

solved
I rooted the phone, removed all tmobile apps ... the problem still persisted ... I installed a custom Rom - Cynagenmod ... and the it is working well!

The problem is either that you need to setup the proper APN in the phone or if
that don't work you need to get your phone unlocked if it's not already unlocked.

Thanks for the reply but the problem is solved. It wasn't related to APN. I was able to browse internet but only messengers weren't working (like Gtalk, Whatsapp and so on). with the custom ROM, everything is working fine on 2G connection.

Bell issue?

I have a Rogers Lumia 900 unlocked and am using it on Bell. I have the latest updates and haven't had the data connectivity issue since the first update several months ago was sent out. Last night I lost data connectivity over the cell network and still haven't gotten it back. Wifi works fine though. Is anybody having this issue on a Lumia 900 on Bell?
Hey
Hey Brother if you are having data issues and even issues with calls going to VM sometimes outta nowhere go get your sim changed, i had the issue and i realized i was using bells 4G micro sim and i actually needed the new 4G LTE micro sim once i got all that setup the phone part of my lumia runs fantastic no data issues what so ever

Thanks for the reply. I should already have the LTE sim. I made sure I asked for that when I got my Lumia. I haven't noticed any issues with calls going to VM without ringing... just lost my data last night.
Well I seem to have fixed it. I added the proxy address of web.wireless.bell.ca port 80 to the APN settings and my data is back. That seems really strange to me that I'd have to do that since it's been working without the proxy ever since I bought my Lumia. When I got it, I tried it with and without the proxy as well as both APN's for bell... pda.bell.ca and inet.bell.ca and they all worked. O well it's working again so that's all that really matters.
Glad to hear it's working now..
Wondering if you can confirm a couple things..
Internet sharing, is it locked for you? As well is MMS or group texting working for you?

Internet sharing is locked for me... I tried a Rogers sim in my phone and it worked perfect but locked with the Bell sim. MMS it not working as the network setup app from Nokia is available. I haven't tried group texting so I can't comment on that.

Sucks.. So Im in the same boat as with my Titan 2.. no internet sharing, MMS and group text.
So the Nokia network setup app is still unavailable at this time?

I'm pretty sure there's no speculation as to whether or not it will fix it. That is the only thing holding back MMS from working as it allows us to change the MMS servers. Once that app is available again, we will have working MMS as long as you put in the correct MMS server.

Not receiving any notifications

I switched from AT&T to TMobile and none of my notifications are working. Email, Google Voice, Facebook. None.
I had this phone on AT&T and it was fine. Ever since porting my number to TMobile, it has all stopped.
I have AOKP 4.2.2. ROM
Any advice?
First thing is first.
Im guessing you unlocked your note 2 from ATT to work with your new TMO sim card..
Have you verified your voice and data services are activated on the new sim card?
Can you use WiFi to connect to data on the note2? If so then you have no data with TMO?
We need more info.

Yes, the phone is unlocked.
Data works on the phone with the WiFi on or off.
Plan is good, I did everything at the TMobile store and they registered the new sim card

Not receiving any notifications might have more to do with your ROM than the service provider. Try out a different ROM and see of you're having the same experience.

If data works with or with out wifi then minhajmsd is pointing you in the right direction. Sounds like a ROM issue..
Are the apn's good?

I thought the same thing but he said data works with WiFi on and off. So if data works with WiFi off then the APN must be good.
Yeah, it was the ROM that was bad.
Thanks for the help guys!!
Post what rom you had just in case someone else has similar issues and has the same ROM.
I am having close to the same problem. I recently updated from MyRom v3 to v6 and no longer recieve notifications from apps such as twitter,fb, or snapchat etc. any idea why?

4g LTE phone calls experience need opinion

Hello can anyone please share your experience specifically on the calling and the texting features ?
Maybe even make a video? No one seem to talk about this at all?

Wow no one here have courage? To try this? Lol
C'mon guys pop that SIM card in there and share the experience!!!!!!!!!!
I would like no know this too as I just got the 4G LTE and text messaging works flawlessly, except phone calls as it gives me busy signal on all calls that are made. Don't know what's wrong. The sim card is activated and everything works as it should. Except phone calls..

There's really not a lot to talk about. The SM-P601/5 are just giant phones. Anything a N3 can do, they can do. Dialers and MMS/SMS are pretty much the same on every phone and the SM-P601/5 are no exception.
Here's a screen shot...
P.S. - In order to use the voice and messaging features the SM-P601/5 have to be provisioned by your carrier as "phones." Tablet-specific data plans don't support calls or MMS even though the device is capable.
I was waiting for a response and didn't get anyone to chime in so I finally got my note 10.1 p605 so here goes yes you need to get a sim with voice and data plan it will work. I'm currently using it as my phone at the moment and it rocks!
I have the SM-P605 4G LTE and I couldn't figure out how to make phone calls on this device. Can you help?

Is your SM-P605 from a carrier or Samsung? The U.S. carriers and possibly some others disable voice and MMS and always have in the tablets they offer. If you don't see the Dialer and Messaging apps when you look in the app drawer I'm guessing they've been disabled in whatever version of SM-P605 you have. If you see them and can't use them that means the SIM you're using probably doesn't support voice and MMS. They're either there out-of-the-box or they aren't. If they aren't there's not a lot you can do about it.
BarryH,
I got mine from the Verizon store. I downloaded a Dialer app from Google Play and tried to make a call, but still no go. The app brought up a Dialer, but when I punch in a telephone number, and press Send, it just beeps and does nothing. The Sim card was from my 4G LTE phone. I swapped it over.
I was, however, able to make calls using Google Voice & Groove IP. But man, I would just love to be able to make calls just like a phone.

LG G3 (D858HK) MMS not working in Australia

Howdy,
I can't send or receive MMS on my LG-D858HK. Everything else is working and I'm with Virgin Mobile (Australia).
*Confirmed all mobile settings are correct; I visited the Virgin Mobile store twice for this.
*MMS works if I put my sim card in another phone - tested it with Samsung Galaxy S3 and Sony Xperia Z.
*Signal strength is good, 4 bars on 3G network.
*Have tried factory reset.
*Firmware/Apps are up to date.
*I'm locked to Asian regions in some stock apps.
*On the lock-screen it says "No Sim Card, No Signal", but still works.
What should I do? If I want to install a different firmware/ROM, which one do you suggest (I don't care if my secondary sim card slot is disabled)?
Thank you for your help.

And youve made sure the APNs have been properly setup?
I know for my G3 i had to manually add the APN
Yep, I had to enter them manually as well, following the instruction on the Virgin site. I went to the Virgin store yesterday afternoon, the guy checked all the settings (including APN) for me. The guy at the store couldn't figure it out, so he suggested I might want to look online for a different firmware/custom rom.

So what does it say when you try to send a MMS to yourself?
It would be stuck trying to download the mms. It's the same if I try to send mms from my g3, it would stuck on "Sending...".
I fixed it! I switched back to the stock sms app and everything worked like it should. Google's Messenger app is having issues with MMS.
Thank you for your help itsbighead, it's very appreciated.
