Ok so I rooted, unlocked with Chain fire Region Away app, and put Metro SIM in, I get texts and calls Over Wi-fi but no service on Mobile Network. Any ideas? Thanks in advance
Have you setup the MetroPCS apn?

Yea, I tried everything, but what I think it was is that the SIM unlock probably didn't work. So, I just ported my number over to TMO. Thanks for the response though.

I got an unlock code from AT&T, but I was never prompted to enter it after putting an H2O Wireless SIM card in my GS3. I'm able to place/receive calls and get data after entering APN settings.
My phone is rooted, but I didn't think it was already unlocked. Maybe I missed something. Any ideas? Thanks..

Did you buy the phone from someone else or an official retailer brand new in the box? If the former, someone may have already unlocked it. Otherwise did you perform the JB unlock method via the services menu?

I purchased the phone new from AT&T and rooted it a few days later. I never did the JB unlock.

Prepaid or postpaid... They all work as long as they are same phone service provider. Try a different network n see if that works.
Its a network lock, not a service/plan lock.

I guess that explains it, since H2O uses AT&T's network.
Ok SO I could not find a proper thread for this since there are SO many threads. The issue I'm having is I got a Samsung galaxy S III that was unlocked, and after I put my ATT sim into it I could recieve texts and calls but I could not recieve data. So I rooted it and applied clockwork with all my mods and figured I could find some setting that would fix it... well I was wrong. I tried global, GSM and LTE settings none of which would give me data. If there is anything anyone can do to help I would be more than appreciative.

While I agree that you should always call at&t so they can register a device to your account, this will not help his current data issue
OP, is this an international s3, T-Mobile or at&t? What firmware/rom is installed? Again, verify your imei is intact
Ok so this is a verizon Galaxy S3. It is rooted running 4.1.2 JB, Kernal 3.0.31. After I got the phone I did go to an ATT store to register a micro sim because i didn't have one at the time. So the imei is registered to my sim card perfectly. I can get calls and texts without any issue but no data. How do I figure out what the apn settings are and if I have the right configuration?

You do realize you're trying to use a cdma phone (verizon) on a gsm network (at&t), right? Different radios. Different technology. Won't work
Well it was unlocked at the phone has a gsm option so if it wasn't compatable I don't see why they would have the option there to actually use a gsm network.

You need to read more.
this phone only supports GSM with EDGE data.* This essentially means that you'll get 2G data speeds (unless you have a WiFi connection) because it doesn't support UMTS/HSPA+ which is required for international and U.S. 3G data. the 4G LTE frequency supported by this phone is only used in the U.S.* For those who don't know UMTS/HSPA+ is the 3G technology used by GSM carriers internationally (and used by AT&T and T-Mobile in the U.S.) which is different from the CDMA/EV-DO 3G technology used by Verizon and Sprint.*
This phone IS unlocked, that part is correct. But only for gsm carriers
So its preventing me from recieving ANY form of data possible?? It is a Verizon phone and I have ATT so you mean it doesn't support GSM then right?

You're in an at&t s3 forum with a verizon s3 that has zero data. If you really want to pursue this issue, you should start looking around in the Verizon S3 forums

you have a Verizon S3, that is the FIRST place you need to go. always go to the forum for the device you have, bro.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1708
If I'm not mistaken, some Verizon devices will not work on US gsm networks even if unlocked, only foreign gsm networks.
Saw an article about this, although it might have been a different phone that was being discussed.

If you are going to stick with AT&T, that is the way to go if you want to have data. No worries. Stupidity is only if you didn't learn anything. You had ignorance of the situation and now your don't. Do some research on any phone before you buy next time (especially if branded from another carrier). This can save you a lot of headaches as you have just learned. Just remember some basics from this forum. Good luck.
I been at this for thee days now! so I bought a gnex from a friend that was using it on a plan with at&t. he now uses a prepaid plan with a different phone and sold me this galaxy nexus. now I did have a Motorola defy that I was using for tmobile but it has gon to crap so using a sim adaptor I placed it into this gnex but it wont pic up the tmobile network. when I go to settings phone info status it has my sim card phone number and all that, but it doesn't have network and all the other stuff. :crying:
so does anyone know how I can fix this or give me a walkthrough with using the unlock codes for Samsung galaxy nexus?
AT&T never sold a galaxy nexus. you already have an unlocked device. try doing a factory reset from the settings with your SIM card in it. Are you sure your sim adapter is fitting correctly?

Thanks for that! Now I tried a few of the APN settings found here on xda but none of them work! What's weird is now my voicemail icon popped up but I can't connect with network still or make phone calls!

How many different threads are you going to open for the same exact issue? You are breaking multiple forum rules right now.
Have you tried calling TMobile to see if there is anything they need to do on their end? There shouldn't be but you never know

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.

If you turn on WiFi calling and use stock MMS you can send ur pictures without any issues. WiFi calling must be 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 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.

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.
Why do you care?

Well to be honest at&t besides changing sims u have to change apn as well. But will never send over wifi. At&t not configure for it.
NOTE 3
Tmobile user here, no matter if I am on WiFi or LTE the phone randomly gets stuck on searching for network and nothing will function. Any thoughts?
do a factory reset
Could be a bad SIM too
I have this problem with the ATT version. It won't take the apn that came with the phone. It searches for network for a while and then when it finds it, there is still no data.

Try this. In Settings>More>Mobile Networks, set it to CDMA or GSM only.
So just don't use the setting that has LTE in it.
