MMS over WiFi trick. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

These are the steps i took to send mms over wifi on Jedi Elite Rom. Not sure if it will work on any other Roms.
1. Send a picture to your gmail associated with the phone.
2. Open the gmail and open the picture in your gallery.
3. Now you should be able to send an MMS over WiFi.
Feel free to chime in if it works and what Rom you are on.

I dont use WiFi calling at all. It never rings when placing outgoing calls it jumps right into the person speaking. Calls get dropped after a minute or two. So i leave it off.

I see. I would call TMOBILE and get new sim and have them registered ur card for WiFi calling so u don't have the issue anymore. I get that you don't use it but it is much needed when sending MMS the normal way
NOTE 3

Why is it much needed? I use AT&T's network, so I am asking because I'm not sure if there's a difference with T Mobile's MMS.

I am on the Jedi RoM - I don't know if it is the rom or what But I tried sending an MMS without doing your 'trick" and I was able to send MMS over WIFI just fine - no problems..

I tried numerous times and it never worked until i did the those steps. It may be because i never turned on wifi calling.

I don;t use Wifi Calling - it isn't possible on ATT Network..even if you have the tool on your phone, it won't work unless you are using TMOBILE Cell Service.

May I ask what ur issues are. Are you using the new sim cards? I use mine every day for hours. Never had a drop or any issues. Only time I have issues is when I walk away and it picks up another router.

I didn't want to have to deal with a bootloader that would probably not be able to be unlocked. I am not the only one - a BUNCH of people bought TMOBILE PHONES to use on ATT Network.

you may have to call your carrier to get them to look at the issues with your phone on their end, I did that when i had trouble sending mms messages (i am on Telus), and while the message report (long press, select View Report) still says pending they do seem to get through now... i was on JB for a short while but went back to 4.0.4 for the upcoming OTA update.
Also, I found out that mms wont send if you have your mobile data turned off or are on wifi...

MMS usually requires a different APN than data, so you need to make sure it is set up properly for your carrier.

Samsung Galaxy S3 video calling - please help

Hello all,
I have a Galaxy S3 I747M from Telus. I was wondering if there's any way to enable the video calling feature like its international variant?
Just to be clear: network video calling, not third-party apps like Skype or Fring.
Thanks

besides having the proper dialer app to make network video calls, isn't this also limited to your wireless carrier? i'm not 100% on this but i think you'd also need a video calling feature activated on your account with your network.

Hmm I just noticed my rogers sgs3 doesn't have video calling either like the sgs2 did. I'll have to play around as I'm sure I saw it originally. Also you should note that most carriers charge per minute. I used it last year and it was 40 cents a minute when I could have just used google video chat or Skype !

T mobile note 2 problems please please please help

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 ??

Thank you so much bro, I flashed your ROM today and it is amazing. I suppose all the T-mobile features aro gone because it is showing GT-N7105 instd of SGH-T889. Does it mean I can flash any international ROM now? or will I have to stick with the t-mobile ROMS?

Wifi tether for tmobile galaxy s4?

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!

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.

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.

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.
