Make sure your APN settings are right for Tmobile. Go to:
Menu/Setting/Wireless&Networks/MobileNetworks/AcessPointNames/T-Mobile US
It should read:
Name: T-Mobile US
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: not set
Port: not set
Username: leave blank
Password: leave blank
Server: leave blank
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: leave blank
MMS port: leave blank
MCC: 310
MNC:260
Authentication type: leave blank
APN type:default,supl,mms

I checked the APN and T-Mobile US was all the same except
Username: spelt out "none"
Password: ****
Server: *
There is also another APN named "simple"
With a proxy, port, and some other stuff..
Also when I go to search for network with my t-mobile it says "error while searching for networks", with an at&t it does that once or twice but then it finds it. I really don't know what else I can do.

Have you tried another Tmobile sim card, may be a friends? Could be a bad sim.? or maybe a bad location , Im assuming this does this anywhere you go?

Yeah I'm miles away right now and still to no avail. I'm using a wifi connection right now.. and no I havnt used another tmobile sim on this rom but I had the same problem on the stock rom and kernel so I flashed a new one and still no service with tmobile, and with this rom it won't even find tmobiles network..

I say try reselecting tmoobile from the apn settings

Try wiping the sim card with your thumb, thumb grease has been known to help an ailing sim card. Has it ever worked in this phone? because sometimes a sim card will work in one phone but not in another. Also, try changing your username. the added karma just might make the sim work for you.
Hope this helps

I've been through 5 sim cards in 3 years. It's like my old G1 used to eat them. That's probably what the problem is. Go to a T-Mobile store and they should replace your SIM card for free.

Yes, I've done that. I used htccode.com to get it unlocked.

Hi,
I unlocked my Arc and then set it up to run on Telus in Canada. I have everything working now including MMS.
I used this site for the unlock
www cellunlocker net
I cost me $7.50 CDN
p.s. I got an unlock code back within 2 hours

Thanks guys will give it a go many thanks.

can you give the apn setting that works for the arc on telus?? I seem to have to keep switching mine

3grepairs is 5.50. quick service quick code. a time or two he couldnt give me code for given device. i always buy two at once. even though one was successful he always refunded all the money for both. for that reason i say go with him he's pretty good. [email protected] high recommend. he's in north van or some ****. check your arc be sure you haz tries left. *#*#7378423#*#* and check simlock. top entry if it says zero and big X your device hardlocked. talk to alejandrissimo or Blagus here, if you haz locked bootloader AND your device is hardlocked thats only solution. under $25 nothin to cry about in that situation.
edit: oh i think manufacture method of unlock is free. but u can only do that if you haz fastboot enabled. unlocked bootloader, as far as i know anyway. just trying to help. to gather all the info i just typed out i had to read many many posts. manufacture method get sim unlock code from se site i got one of those before i realized i was hardlocked and locked bootloader. i am neither now.

Lost 3g after using gingerbreak

I am freaking out. I lost my 3g after rooting my device with the gingebreak program.
I used the method provided here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045204
Since then I only get Edge and not 3g/hsdpa like I got before.
I am using the sony lt15a (rogers version). I think it might have affected my radio somehow. does anyone know how I can get 3g back?
I would really appreciate some help.

I did a hard reset and it didn't work but then I flashed it with the stock 2.3.3 US rom and now everything seems to work fine. I am not sure as to why I had a problem to begin with, I didn't know that rooting a device can actually affect the 3g radio.
anyways for anyone who has a similar problem, just flash it with the stock US 2.3.3. rom and you should be fine again.

All you need to do is edit your Arc's APN I use Gingerbreak too but it didnt touch any of my settings. You might wanna check your APN coz it MMS or other things that uses data might not work.

It wasn't the apn. nothing changed in there and I was using with ATT.
the rooting actually affected the gsm radio and got rid of my 3g. I am not sure why but that is what it did.
The only way I could fix it is by flashing it with the stock US rom.

tryd getting 3g setting from provider back, this happened to me and this worked :
- setting
- Sony ericsson
- download settings

ATT SIII rooted and unlocked with LiquidSmooth not able to connect to T Mobile.....

Hi All
Rooted, have done the unlocking trick to unlock my AT T SIII and then installed LiquidSmooth Rom.
However, it's unable to connect to the T Mobile network on my tmo sim? The T-mobile account is good as it works perfectly on my unlocked Note as well as another SIII that I have on Verizon.....
Any suggestions on what I can do next?
Thanks

You'll need to check to make sure you APN matches the tmo network. Liquid devs for att so the APN in his ROM is for att. You simply have to edit it for tmo. Google "TMobile APN Settings" or search around xda and you'll see how and what to change.

Yep, I've tried alot of other roms and have tried the below APN but that causes the Searching for Network screen to perpetually search and won't even bring up T-Mo and AT & T network options for me to choose from.
And yes, the default was already T Mobile on the APN when I first posted this.
The official error message was: "Can't connect to this network right now. Try again later." when I tried to click on T-Mobile in the Available Networks screen.

If its happening on stock, you may have lost your IMEI, check Settings > About > Status.
Report back and let us know.

Nope, IMEI still there. Also when I have the T - Mobile sim in there, it actually even shows my phone # in Status.

mm6 doesn't show in custom roms(aosp roms) but only touchwiz
if you get that, then chance that you get it fix, is really hard
i had once like that and regardless of what i did (restore imei, re-unlock, change value....) i tried all methods, it didn't work and i had to bring it in for warranty.
if you're not on stock, try go back to stock and see if you get it, "mm6 phone not allowed" message usually show on top in lockscreen
hope i'm wrong, or else the only option is warranty.
Definition of MM6 Phone not allowed
a) the handset was bought locked to a particular network (the network sells the handset at a subsidised price, but gets the money back by tying you into staying with them for 12, 18 or 24 months, paying a fee each month), and you've put in a SIM belonging to another network... in which case, you'll need to (pay to) get it unlocked (since you're unlocked, this shouldn't bother you)
or
b) the handset has been reported lost or stolen, and has been blacklisted in the EIR (Equipment Identity Register) of the network whose SIM you've put in the handset
or
c) the handset is unable to register on the network (e.g. you've been (accidentally) barred or disconnected, or there's a network issue that is preventing you from registering).

Your fix isn't that hard. You dont have to manually enter most roms apns because tmobile builds can sucsesfully flash on att builds with apns built it. Next time just flash tmobile because it is the same hardware almost and Is flashable without porting to att or that nonsense for what you have to do for theinternational variant

So you are saying to Flash a T Mobile rom ????
I was under the impression that we should ALWAYS ONLY flash roms that are specific to our devices (in this case, the SIII is AT &T) ?

HTC One (AT&T) running 5.0.1 GPE - MMS/data issues SOLVED

I have a AT&T HTC One M8 that I was running GPE 4.4.4 and now 5.0.1. I had MMS data issues after install of 5.0.1, figured it out. This is what I changed:
SETTINGS>WIRELESS & NETWORKS>MORE>CELLULAR NETWORKS>ACCESS POINT NAMES>ATT Phone
These fields below had no choice selected. AllI did was change to the following:
Authentication Type: PAP or CHAP
Bearer: LTE
MVNO type: IMSI
changed those and now data works properly.

Darn, for a second there I thought you said you got it working for T-Mobile. good stuff though!

Confirmed
Thanks! I did this and now my MMS is working fine.
