Hey I just gave my d2tmo to my friend who has att service. Before I gave it to him I put it back to stock and unlocked it uusing a method I found here. Oh and I updated it.to the latest 4.3. When I put his sim in it worked fine it says att in the drop down menu and it has the singular apn. The data works the phone calls work but text did not. So I did sone googleing and checked the apn settings. It turned out I had to set the mms port.to it. After that the texts worked to my phone which is the note 2 but he says that he can't text his girlfriend who has att iphone. So does anyone know what could be causing this? I saw that another thing I can try is to change the mms port to 8080. I dont.know.if.that will work.
You can try and install the most updated modem and see if that's the case, for my AT&T GS3 I went from 4.1.1 (Unlock Method) to 4.3 and when I flashed the modem it had everything working on T-Mobile

That's another idea that I thought of. But I was explaining the situation to a friend and then it dawned on me. He had an iPhone so he probably has an iPhone data plan. He probably has to call att and switch it to an android plan. I know tmo's iphone, blackberry and android data plans are different so I bet that's the issue.

My Sprint network services suck, and I still have my old metropcs account active.. so I was wondering.. would it be possible to activate metropcs data on my 4g touch activated for sprint?
Anyone? Not trying to steal service as my metropcs account is still active. I can use the modem mac from my old phone if needed,

... but note in that thread says 4G won't work. Might help you though.
I already know I wont get 4G, but working 3G sure would be nice. I want to try and set it up for testing. I am currently using forced roaming with the hacked verizon prl, but if I keep this up I will eventually be kicked from Sprint.
Yes, you can flash metro pcs onto your Sprint ET4G. I have mine flashed. However, I can't get mms to work. So, 3g works, text, talk...no mms. I had someone from Craigslist flashed it for $40...

Hey, I have been at this for some time. I'm very confused about some things. I currently have the Samsung Epic 4g Touch (Galaxy S2). To my knowledge my SPC is now set to 000000, and most the QPST settings (OR CDMA settings if you prefer) are set and correct.
I was wondering if there's anyway you can shoot me a response or PM with how to get everything working. I don't even have data at all. I can't seem to figure it out.
Doesn't Metro use Sprint towers?
If so, I doubt you will notice a difference in speed/signal strength!
I have also unlocked my phone and have set my setitgs correctly via QDMA and as far as I know MetroPCS has stopped updating ESN numbers unless its a Metro phone. any news on this?

So I have the international Version of the HTC ONE X on the AT&T Network. For some reason when I go to send messages sometimes it works and then other times it just says "unable to send message". I do notice the signal going to 3G then it says H and then Edge. I'm pretty new to the android ordeal so not sure of what to expect. Can anyone help me out? I also rooted the phone and used a few roms but it didn't help. I am back on the stock rom which I made a backup of. Any ideas? Anyone else having problems with sms and mms on AT&T with the HTC ONE X.

Apn issue I think. You probably didn't add the apn needed for mms.
Google att apn mms

Hey!!! I did put the ATT APN. Looked at a few Youtube videos also just to make sure I am on the right path and they all seem to use the same ATT apn. I restarted phone a few times and put airplane mode to shut off the signal then turn it on just to try like a reset that way and nothing. Sometimes it works and messages go through and sometimes it doesn't work. Makes me loco lol thanks for writing.
does at&t have this enabled on their end? for some it was a matter of going to at&t and having it straightened out.
I did call ATT and they asked for the IMEI of the phone. I gave it to them and they told me everything was "provisioned" and should work well. I did use APN settings. I restarted the phone thinking maybe that could be an issue but it did not work. Any other ideas?
you could try downloading another app like handcent, which gives you a little more control over settings (including much larger mms size) than the resident app and try to use that as a way of double checking the problem. i'm on at&t prepaid with an int'l one x and don't text much. but when i got on the network, i sent a couple of texts and mms just to see if the service was working well. seemed to be fine for me.
btw, is your micro-sim new from at&t or maybe transferred from an iphone? some former iphone users who transferred sims have reported problems with texting/email. i think they had to make sure their iphones were wiped first before transferring the micro-sim over.
When I get MMS from T-Mo users it shows up, but when I go to look at it the message is blank. Has happened from many T-Mo users but no other carrier.
Anyone have ideas?
I tried different roms, messaging apps, broadbands and apn settings, no work.
If you have ideas keep them coming even if I don't test....will test tomorrow....don't want to keep bothering ppl all night.

Who's your carrier, AT&T? My friend is experiencing the same issue. At least, I think it's the same. I'm on T-Mo and he never gets my MMS.
I tried putting the different APNs in his phone as well. I'm honestly not sure, either.
Wife and I are on tmo and I can't get any of the dumb ass mms that she sends me.
I take it as a blessing really.

I'm on T-Mobile but it's weird cause before I was able to send them. But until Wednesday I tried to send one and it said it failed. I rebooted the phone and cleared cache and dalvik and it still didn't work

The T-Mo users I know can send them but it just comes in as a blank 1KB MMS.....
No one has any idea here.....or can we at least get people to confirm they CAN get MMS from T-Mo users...
Mine does this sometimes. Im on sprint
Im pretty sure this is a gnex issue between tmobile and ATT, Switching my sim into a tmobile branded phone and it will send. Seems that all other providers receive my MMS though. I can receive an MMS from a Gnex on ATT to my Gnex on Tmobile. Im thinking its something to do with the user string of the Gnex and tmobile not knowing what it is.
I can send MMS to any one except people on AT&T. My best friend has an Xperia Play 4G on AT&T and my pictures just shows up as a white box. I'm using T-Mobile

I started having an mms issue on T-Mo recently. Fixed it by resetting the apn settings (the only thing that seemed to change was the ipv6 changed back to ipv4 - i believe you are supposed to have separate apns for data and mms)
Pull up the apn list, hit menu, then reset to default...
No one has any ideas about this ? I'm pretty pissed off now because I called AT&T and they basically said since it non-AT&T your screwed.......
and can we please get an AT&T user to confirm receiving MMS from T-Mo using this phone?
Not using a G.Nexus, using an HTC Sensation with a CM9 variant. Just noticed that I'm only having trouble receiving MMS from TMO friends. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if anyone has a fix
I should probably clarify that I do receive the message if there's text in it, my phone recognizes it as an MMS but there is no picture and the size is 1kb.
It's definitely the IPv6. I switch it on and MMSs won't come or go. I switch back to IPv4 (and reboot..grrrr) and MMSs send/receive fine. I have checked and cannot find anything in the APN settings that's supposed to fix it.
You have to set up two APNs on the T-Mo phone:
Ipv6 for data
Ipv4 for MMS
I'm in the same situation. I'm using GNex on AT&T. My friend has GNex on T-Mobile. I can receive text but no picture messages from him or anyone that has T-Mobile. Let's keep this thread going to find a solution.

I've given you the solution.
The guy with the T-Mo phone needs to tweak his settings...
even tried to change the apn. I have a Skyrocket on AT&T my brothers and girlfriend have T-mobile and they send me MMS but nothing comes through.
I know other people that have AT&T and they have I-phone and get all MMS messages from T-mobile.
I currently have ATT service with my S3. I'm running the Intergalactic 3.0 at the moment and I absolutely love it. However - I just switched to T-Mobile. I want to keep my current phone and sell the free S3 they gave me so I don't have to deal with losing any information or anything like that. Can I get away with this on the ATT based ROM? IIRC T-Mobile and ATT run on very similar networks/frequencies. Any advice would be helpful here. If worst comes to worst and I have to use the T-Mobile provided phone, can I flash Intergalactic on it as well or do I have to choose from the T-Mobile ROMs on this site?
Thanks to everyone in advance.
You should be able to add the proper apn for t mobile. You also may want to flash one of the t mobile radios.

I just switched from ATT to T-Mobile. I have an ATT SGS3 running Task's AOKP. APNs filled themselves in when I put the T-Mobile SIM in and everything works flawlessly.

Strange. I unlocked the phone, I was able to put in the SIM card and the APNs filled themselves. I was able to make calls and texts but unable to use internet. Any idea here? Using Intergalactic 3.0
To clarify - no internet at all. No Edge, GSM, or LTE

No idea. I'm not getting LTE, but I do get H+ and haven't looked into it yet. Maybe it's the ROM? I'm on Task's newest release.

Strange. I went back and re-registered on the network through the settings and now it's getting 4g, just no LTE. At least it's working though!
Edit: Kinda. It worked for a minute then I locked/unlocked the phone and it didn't want to work any more.

I just changed the setting under settings-> network mode to "GSM/WCDMA/LTE" and now I do get LTE
So I jumped on the AT&T/DirecTV Unlimited data deal and ported my phone today. It all looked normal and I got the activation texts and such - it even populated the nxtgenphone APN info (though it was deselected and I had to select it). Anyway, I've had no data at all. As a test, I switched the APN to phone and data works, but the speeds appear to be much lower than what my wife's iPhone is seeing on the nxtgenphone APN. Anyone got any tips?
I'm running Viper 2.5, latest US unlocked firmware and US unlocked selected as carrier, and it works fine on AT&T other than this......only other thing I can mention is when I select preferred band or whatever it shows WCDMA/GSM and if I change it to WCDMA/GSM/LTE it reverts back for some reason. Any help much appreciated. I've called AT&T and they're like, uh, we don't sell the HTC 10 so can't really help you... grrrrrr.....

I'd suggest ruu to stock us unlocked rom and see if the issue persists.
Or, try clean flash of viper.
I have no issues using US unlocked on AT&T with both stock rom and ice.
Thanks for trying to help. I just finished trying stock RUU and same problem. I'm convinced, as I was before, that this is AT&T's issue. I've read numerous posts this afternoon that because the HTC 10 (and other phones) aren't in their "LTE approved" database, nxtgenphone APN won't work, or it will only give HSPA speeds. Seems like everyone who has resolved it, or didn't run into the issue at all had another AT&T LTE phone they could use for the IMEI on the account, or the rep entered the model as an iPhone or similar to make it work. Really, really frustrating, as they refuse to help me and I'm starting to think I should just terminate in the 14 day window and do T-mobile or Verizon.
I have at&t and everything worked out of the box, I've never been on stock rom, always on Viper I did the unlock and s-off without a sim and never had an issue or called at&t to activate the device I just transferred my sim from my note 4 to the HTC 10, no provisioning issues at all, VOLTE works, LTE is fine as well while on a phone call... No issues... If you need anything to compare let me know

Thanks for replying. They did confirm it was a provisioning issue and they fixed it today. They had to do something different, as the default HTC 10 provisioning and IMEI check didn't fix it even when they tried it a second time, but they were able to adjust something and LTE definitely works now. VoLTE working here, too. Thanks!
