Switching from T-Mobile to ATT - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hello, sorry if this has already been brought up but I haven't seen anything concrete. I have a t-mobile S4 currently running on att. It seems to work ok, but should I do anything extra like flash an att kernel? So far the only issues I have is that visual voicemail won't work, and the signal stops every now and then and reconnects like fifteen second later.
Running liquid smooth Rom atm.
Thanks!

Have you changed the APNs to AT&T's?
About Visual voicemail, do you mean T-Mobile's Visual Voicemail app? If so, you can not use it anymore, because you need to have T-Mobile service.

Nope ATT Visual Voicemail :cyclops:
Sorry I am still pretty new to droid, how do I update my APN and what should I update it to?
Thanks!

Because you have a T-Mobile device, stick with the T-Mobile kernels. As far as what APNs to use:
The AT&T APN's I have used in the past with success to get LTE are:
Name: ATT LTE
APN: pta
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port: 80
MC: 310
MNC: 410
APN type: default,supl,mms
For the "phone" APN, just replace "pta" with "phone". The other values should be the same; although I never got LTE/4G with that APN.

Tilt 2 with no data *solved*

Hello all, I decided that I would give the android project a run and see how it does. I installed and updated both the 2.1 Sense and 2.1 AOSP .cabs on the phone (removing one before installing the other, obviously). The problem I have is that I cannot get any data service on the phone in Android. When I turn on the wifi it works great here at home, but I cannot get any 2G or 3G data from the cell side. I have also tried doing the "Force CDMA" check box, but it made no difference. Is there something wrong that I am doing, or does data not work on AT&T yet? I was also able to get the GPS working, but without data its not very useful.
More Info:
AT&T Tilt 2 running latest Energy Rom (built on Windows Mobile 6.5.5) with Sense 2.5 (Cookie variant). Everything works great in Energy Rom and I get about 3.4-3.9 mbps downstream and 1-1.6 mbps upstream on 3G.

Force CDMA should be unchecked, your tilt2 is a GSM device. Data works on my tilt2 just fine. Have you checked the APN settings in android it should be something like this:

This worked nicely. I guess I missed where they said you have to put that in, lol. Thanks for the help, now I can use Android a little more, and hopefully they get a fully functional version going here soon.
Appreciate that, it was exactly what I was looking for.

In Android go to Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names
See if your providers APN Settings are there and correct, if there are no settings hit menu and add a new APN.
A full list of APN Settings can be found here http://www.androidonhtc.com/wiki/Carrier_network_settings

I knew exactly what I have. I knew it was a GSM device, but was trying the Force CDMA to try and get it working. I had a 99.9% feeling that it wouldn't work, but gave it a try (That is how you learn. When Thomas Edison was asked about how he failed 2000 ways to make a light bulb his reply was "I didn't fail to make a light bulb, I learned 2000 ways to not make a light bulb"). You might want to think again before accusing someone of something.

Unlocked the T-mobile phone to work on AT&T, no data usage. HELP!

I got a Samsung Galaxy SII T989 new, for free, off of my uncle who gets phones for promotional purposes. It's a T-mobile phone, and I'm on AT&T. I paid for an unlock code and successfully unlocked my phone for use on AT&T. I can text, call, and use WiFi, but can't get the data to work. (I also can't send or receive MMS messages, not sure if it's related. HELP!

couple things have you asked on the AT&T forum and have you done a google search on how to get your Tmobile phone to work on AT&T?
next is have you changed or rather added the new apn? if any of this is an issue for you I would say your best bet is to trade the phone on craigslist for someone with the skyrocket.
since the two phones are interchangeable as far as roms go I would suspect with a little more digging you will find your answer... check here

^ +1 apn should do the trick, pretty typical for unlocked phones to not have the apns on the sim. Manual programming is going to be fun if you are new to android
Thank you!
Thanks so much! I did that, turned on packet data, and it seems to be working now. Again, thank you so much for your help, muchly appreciated!

FIXED! - No LTE

Hey guys. I'm kinda stuck here. I am getting no LTE service on my phone at all. Of course those idiots at straight talk keep saying im provisioned for it but nope, not getting it. I tried everything I can think of from factory resetting to apn settings and nothing. When I go into my network it bounces between HSAP and HSPAP but no LTE. I live in an LTE service area and was getting LTE up to about a week ago but then suddenly it was gone. Any ideas as to what I can do?
Can ask what are your APN settings?
Sent from my LG-E988 using Tapatalk
The ones ST gave me.
Name - Straight Talk
APN - tfdata
MMSC - http://mms-tf.net
MMS proxy - mms3.tracfone.com
MMS port - 80
I don't understand what's goin on. It just doesn't work anymore for some reason. And ST troubleshooting is non existent. All they tell you is to put in those apn settings and it should work. Well it isn't dumbasses!....lol
Also port :80 . I have straight talk too. Your apn looks right
My wife has the Optimus g and her LTE is working just fine. WITH the same APN settings! The last thing I remember doing was going through the hidden service menu but I didn't change anything in there. There is nothing you can change in there to make your LTE stop working. I know with some phones you can but not with the OGP.

Ok guys. I got the issue resolved. I used this method here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351041
The only issue I had was for some reason I couldn't manually edit the build.prop. I had to install JRummies Rom Toolbox Lite and that did the trick.It's so nice to have my LTE back!
Thanks for the link. Always liked to manually set to 2g or 4g when lte was weak. One reason I always installed custom roms and didn't stick to stock.

Personally I don't worry too much about it. Being on stock with this phone gets great battery life. So no need to turn off the LTE to conserve battery.

Lg G4 verizon MMS

So I'm using a Verizon LG G4 on Straight Talk AT&T sim. The reason being is that Verizon coverage is very poor in the area that the phone is used the most. I was able to get calls, data and texting working using the tfdata and/or RESELLER APN. I can't however get incoming MMS messages to work. I installed Textra to try and workaround the stock messaging app but it seems to have the same limitation. I also changed the settings from Legacy to Sytem in Textra but that didn't fix the issue. Does anyone know of a way to get MMS fully working using the ST AT&T sim on this verizon G4 device or is it not capable. Would routing the device make it so I could get MMS fully functioning? If so would I need to flash to AT&T firmware or would that not even be possible on this Verizon device? Thanks for any helpful advice you can offer. I've done several searches on xda and Google but can't find a solution. Thanks again. Steve

[Q] mms working with Cricket?

I've followed most of this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/help/guide-fire-phone-fireos-google-apps-t3206603) along with updating to 4.6.6, to set up my fire phone, and almost everything is working. I've activated the phone with a Cricket sim, and I can get internet and sms fine. I still can't get mms to send or receive. I've tried several different APN settings from the Cricket website and others. I've tried using the stock messaging app as well as handcent.
Is anyone else using Cricket with their fire phone and able to send/rec mms? If so, what are your APN settings?
My wife's fire phone is working with Cricket, including MMS. I think Cricket takes up to 24 hours to re-reoute SMS/MMS correctly. Maybe give it a day and see if it fixes itself.

So it does work. That's good news. Turns out my wife's BLU phone doesn't work either. It's been over a week since she switched.

I would have to wait until tonight to check her phone, but my Nexus 5 is working with those APN settings.
Well, it turns out the fire phone is set to use the AT&T APN. The Cricket APN is there on the phone, but the AT&T one is selected. And everything is working fine on her phone.
Here is a thread from howardforums that describes this same situation.

Also, I neglected to mention that I use Google Voice, so all my SMS/MMS gets routed as data. Which is why I thought the Cricket APN worked for my Nexus 5.

Thank you more times than I could ever say! I have a carrier unlocked LG H830 (G5), and have spent more hours than I'd like to admit trying to get outgoing MMS to work on Cricket Wireless. You name it, I've tried it. I would never EVER have thought to change the Network Mode. That fixed it. Granted, instead of showing "LTE", it's now showing 4G (3.5G), and my data speed down is about 5MB, but Cricket throttles the down speeds anyway. And, at home on Wifi, it doesn't matter anyway. So again, thank you!
For the purposes of future Google searchers:
For outgoing MMS to work on a carrier unlocked LG H830 (LG G5), the Network Mode must be set to GSM/WCDMA.
Regards,
Mark
