My girlfriend just got the s4 from her mom, it's originally a Verizon phone but it's unlocked. She put in her t mobile sim and everything else works fine, calling, receiving calls, receiving text, Internet. But as soon as she tries to send out a text, it fails everytime instantly. She tried calling t mobile and visiting the store but they were no help. Anyone know how to fix this?

This happened to me when I first used a Sprint Galaxy S4 and then took it to MetroPCS. I had to enter the APN info for T-Mobile and then set the APN as active. go to settings,more networks, mobile networks, access point names and create your new APN by tapping the PLUS sign. Save by tapping the bottom left hand button.

Did the Verizon phone save your APN? I know for a fact that SPRINT phones are stuffed full of proprietary references to Sprint servers.

I'm pretty sure it did, I'll try it again. Even the t mobile employees tried the same while at the store.

Is your phone rooted? If so, I would try Titanium Backup and try freezing an app called VZWSetup. I did something similar on my wife's S3 and it worked well for using the phone with other carriers.........

Along with the APN, make sure the Message Center number is the correct one for T-Mobile: +12063130004
This should be in the Messaging app under Settings.

I am glad the last responder brought this up. Sometimes you will see proprietary Verizon and Sprint APPS that will not allow you to change the Voicemail either. If there is a Verizon Voicemail program I would freeze it too. As far as rooting your phone? No big deal.

If your phone came with AT&T Messages, you need to go to AT&T store to have them switch you back to the old VVM system. I upgrade to Messages and hated it and went back.

you don't have to go into the store you can call a csr they should be able to reset your account.
I also use Google voice and its awesome. But since most messages left are in Spanish, Google will tell me the craziest things when it tries to make them into English words (I get a hell of a kick out of it)

Can't get this to work
This app worked fine when I was using TW, but I switched over to AOKP and the app will not work. I go through the setup and it asks for my pin. I type in my pin and the app just sits there with the wheel spinning, looking like its doing something. However, it never comes back. I've uninstalled/reinstalled, factory reset, wiped cache & Dalvik cache. Any ideas?

Thanks. I should have spent a little more time looking around before posting. I also found the answer here.
I switched to Paranoid Android and somehow lost my phone # in the sim card. I was searching and found I had to go into the phone app and readd my # and also readd my voicemail dial in #(which is different than your phone #)
Had to call AT&T for that.
I was never able to get att visual VM to work. Tried everything even called att. They couldn't figure it out...surprising huh

For some reason, I can not get my phone to use Google Voice as my default VMB for the phone. I installed Google Voice, and it asked if I wanted to do that. I said yes, selected Google Voice (as opposed to Carrier) and it said it failed to update. I tried manually under phone settings many times. Tried rebooting too, nothing.
Any idea why I can't change calls to be directed to Google Voice for voicemail?
I'm on stock LH9 ROM, rooted and the special tethering framework (I tried without this first, but still no luck).
ya, tried the att messages app today.. horrible. it froze my contacts and kept shutting down some google app process.
for those who are curious.. google voice works on ICS. took me a moment to figure it out, and really liked having it on gingerbread. go to google voice website. hit settings and then "activate voicemail" it gives you a series of symbols and numbers to enter into your dialer and then it's activated.
BAM.
so i set up my APN settings and it works fine and dandy for a while then i notice i don't have mobile data calls text all work first thing i did was cheek my APN settings all fine flashed some different roms nothing swapped with t mobile SIM and it works any suggestions
Punctuation please.
Are you saying data works for a while then stops? Or that it just doesn't work at all.

Are you certain you're using the right apn? Check to make sure it's not automatically going back to default apn. I know several people would add a custom apn but when they'd check on it, it would have changed back to default settings.

SO apparently the 50$ unlimited plan (no bandwidth throttle) is not unlimited. i called them up and they said my account is flagged as "high bandwidth user" so yeah unlimited≠unlimited
It's called throttling. Technically you can still use all you want. It's just at dial up speeds now.

MMS not working
Hi, I received my device a few weeks ago, direct from T-Mobile as a replacement, and immediately used the motochopper method on my mac to gain root on my SIII with LTE. I am not running any custom roms. Yet I cannot send a MMS message. It just spins forever; trying to send. I have verified that my micro SIM card works properly and my device has the correct APN settings according to T-Mobile USA (I have tried both fast.t-mobile.com and epc.tmobile.com without any luck). I have uninstalled AdAway and turned off CPU Tuner, LBE Privacy Guard, and Lookout. The only other rooted apps I have installed are BusyBox, SuperSU, Greenify, AutoKiller Memory Optimizer, Mobile ODIN, ROM Manager, SystemHelper, Titanium Backup, Delayed Lock, and Voodoo OTA RootKeeper. Is there an app that can assess my configurations to determine what is causing the MMS failure? I do not believe the device is faulty. I tried using Go SMS Pro and Handcent SMS with out any luck as well. Thanks in advance!
I would start over. Back up your important data and factory reset (you wont lose root). I have a feeling it may have something to do with one or more of the apps you just listed, like LBE, auto killer, etc or possibly a combination of them. Start completely clean and test if you can send/receive normally. If so, install one app at a time testing each one.
If it continues w/o any apps installed, then call T-Mobile and ask them to reset your account. See if they have any ideas if that doesnt work. Id also replace the sim at a T-Mobile store. Theyll swap for free if yours could be faulty.

Have you tried changing the apns?
Might call tmo and check if it's been blocked.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Wouldn't be able to send/ receive calls/ SMS if it was blocked. Verify apns, if the person you bought it from wasn't previously using it with the carrier you're currently using it with, they'd be wrong.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Go under settings, more network, mobile network, then access point and see if there is a tmobile apn listed. If so make sure it's listed. If not, then menue and reset to default. That should work.

Howdy,
I just switched to T-Mobile today with a new G3 and ported over from Verizon.
I am having a problem getting the visual voicemail to work. when I try to use it, I get a unable to communicate with server error. This was happening on my wife's LG G3 too, I setup my regular voicemail just fine.
Anyone else having this problem? Or do you think it could be something to do with the porting process (everything seems to have ported fine)
Or any other suggestions (besides resetting my phone, I will try that last, but would like to not have to set up everything again)
Thanks!

How are you using google voice? On my handset, I have it all set up as I should, but the "Voicemail Provider" option within call settings is greyed out, I cannot change that to google voice.

Keyword there is "showing."
It's Google Voice. Call your phone from a different phone to confirm and you should hear your Google Voice greeting.

NP!
You can also call T-Mobile and have them do the following:
--Disable Voicemail on your line
--Setup the forwarding number to be your Google Voice number
You can also setup the forwarding yourself the be the Google Voice number. After doing this, even if I don't install GV after a flash, the calls still go to GV voicemail and whatnot.
