I heavily use IM on my phone to talk to friends oversea,
whenever I'm on T-mobile network 4G/4G LTE, phone won't download pictures.
as soon as I connect to Wi-Fi everything downloads very quickly.
it doesn't happen when I browse website or facebook.
I haven't try MMS..
has anyone know how to fix this issue?
it doesn't happen on other carriers, I have friends who are on ATT, Verizon and sprint use same IM and have no problem.
my friend who has T-mobile S3 LTE saids no problem with it..

Hi all -
I have a strange problem. I cannot receive MMS messages from AT&T subscribers. I can get them from Sprint, Verizon and T-Mobile people but not ATT. I have Net10, running thru ATT. My APN is correct, and I get internet, and MMS from most people, but this is frustrating the heck out of me and I cannot figure this out. Seems so odd to only not get them from one carrier, which happens to be the carrier I'm on. Once upon a time, I did receive them. I was running an AOSP rom, switched to another one, and now went back to stock via Odin. Tried on the MB4 one, nope....now running MD1, still no. Has anyone ever heard of this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
so my carrier is metropcs and before deciding to root my phone i noticed that anything having to do with the tmobile variant works on the metropcs variant. i recently bricked my phone and lost all my data and even my recovery (forgot to move from storage to sd/computer) and i had to flash the tmobile stock. from there i flashed cyanogenmod 10.2 nightly and the appropriate gapp. now i noticed the under mobile networks ->access point names it lists by default a tmobile one(fast.tmobile.com). considering im from metro is this okay? and i noticed my signal bar now reads h and dc and i no longer get 4g or lte signal. i have tried 2 different metropcs apn's (fast.metropcs.com and if i tried the one named "internet" it just disappears). the fast.metropcs.com one works and i get an lte signal but i can not receive calls or sms. any help would be greatly appreciated.

So I Google and tried another apn.
According to the post it is the stock metro apn setting, however I noticed if the lte signal is on I cannot receive calls or texts. This is distressing because I can browse the Web but can't receive anything or send anything.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Could this be a big with cyanogenmod?
I have a Samsung galaxy 3 model # SGH T999N.
It was a metropcs phone,but I got it unlocked and now using it on Tmobile network.
Every time I try to use WCDMA/GSM (4G), signals goes to NONE or there are NO SIGNALS at all and nothing works, such as no internet , no calls , no texts. But after a while signals come back ,but does not stay for long and goes blank again or goes back to ZERO.
In other words, I can only use my phone on GSM (edge) network ,but that is very slow.
I got this phone unlocked from a local store and I DO NOT KNOW which rom they used,but I do see a SUPERUSER TROJAN HORSE on my phone. Therefore, I think it is rooted.
When I tried to use SOFTWARE UPDATE, there was a message saying that my phone was modified....
Any ides how can I get full signals so I can use 4G network.
hey i recently bought a note 4 for verizon and used it on t-mobile.
now it worked and i changed the apn settings manually. except:
1.) The phone would lose signal really quick in certain places and have the circle with a line thru it and it would take few mins, sometimes even have to restart phone to get service back ( i am in a 4g lte service area and it works fine on other devices)
2.) when i was in a call, the option to be on the internet DID NOT WORK. it would say check network settings or something of that sort.
3.) sometimes during a call even with full signal bars, it would hang up and say 'sim not found'
is anyone else experiencing this problem(s) also, or was it just a faulty device?
please any feedback, or insight would be appreciated!
Has it been more than 24 hours activated? Although not a note but her iPhone went from Verizon to t-mobile and she was having issues with data for about 48 hours.
I don't think its just your device (unless we both have faulty devices). I am having the same issues with my Verizon Note 4 on T-mobile network. When I am on a call that requires a keypad entry, it doesn't recognize that I pressed a number (same for voicemail).
My phone also loses signal and 4g in certain place (I thought it was tmobile at first but I was at starbucks with two other friends who had tmobile..they had 4g lte and phone service just fine while my note 4 had neither.)
I was wondering if it was a note 4 issue but haven't found many forums that discussed these issues specifically for verizon note 4 to tmobile users. Please let me know if you are able to find a solution to this problem.

You are correct. I have a Verizon Note 4 that is having the same issues. I'm considering trading this for a T-Mobile note 4 but I don't know how to do that other than craigslist....too bad there is not another way....
Hello, first of all I want to say that my native language is Spanish and I am using the Google translator to write this, so there may be writing errors and apologize.
Buy a motorola edge x30 and the imported import from China. The phone is unlocked to be used with GSM networks from anywhere in the world. When I bought it, I was with Metro PCS but in Metro I was told that the phone was not compatible with the 3G networks of them. After that I started to investigate and find a web page called kimovil and there I saw that the edge x30 was compatible in the USA with all the networks of 3 suppliers: Cricket, AT & T and T-Mobile: I choose to use change to metro by T-Mobile.
Immediately I left the T-Mobile store after making the change I have tried and could receive and send SMS, receive and make calls, and get access to the Internet without any problem. After a couple of hours of having activated services with T-Mobile, the phone could not or receive more calls (the Internet and SMS continue to work normally, the problem is only with calls). When I try to call someone, the call is not done and says "Hanging Up". I tried everything: Factory Reset, Networks Reset, modify network configuration, everything ... and I can not solve the problem. I went to T-Mobile to tell you about my problem and they tell me that the problem is not them but my phone.
If anyone knows how to solve this problem, I would greatly appreciate the help because I feel frustrated. Thanks
I have MOTO EDGE x30 with T-Mobile. Work perfectly. Check the SIM setting.

Good afternoon. I already managed to use the Edge X30 with the T-Mobile network. You just had to put the network selector on automatic so that you can use 5G, LTE, 3G and 2G as you see fit. The problem is that I realized that the phone only calls and receives calls in 3G and 2G, which limits not only the quality of the calls but also limits your coverage to be able to make calls since you can only make them in 3G and 2G . You who also use T-Mobile, does the same thing happen to you?
I'm not sure, but it supports 5G in N1/N3/N5/N7/N8/N20/N28/N38/N41/N78 and 4G in B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B12/B17/B34/B38/B39/B40/B41. or check volte settings.
you may try to install "carrier services" app by google from the play store. it solves some of my problem with data connection.

Yes I have the same issue. Whenever I make or receive voice calls, the phone falls back from LTE to 2G. I looked everywhere on the phone for 'VOLTE' settings but could not find it. Does VOLTE work for this phone on Tmobile? Very frustrating.
Has anyone been able to find the solution for the calls switching back to 2g? I love the phone but this is extremely annoying. I'm on T-mobile. Thank you
