Att Galaxy s III on METRO PCS. - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi All,
I recently got a Galaxy S III (ATT) from a Co-Worker.
I have got it unlocked and switched over and noticed that I was having issues not getting data. I was able to by searching to set the APN however I am unable to send MMS. I am getting 4G LTE so I got something at least Correct lol.
Any help would be grand.

I had the same issue. I contacted metro, they gave me this:
T-Mobile US LTE
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Delete password if any
Delete server if any
MMSC: http.//mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Hope this helps, it worked well for me. But you should completely root your phone as you will not receive Android updates any longer. I was able to completely root my phone. But I'm still learning (thanks to xda) how to find and correctly install the best rom for me.

[Q] Getting only Edge (2g) speeds any tips?

Just got the GN (GSM Unlocked) and was mainly getting to know it on WiFi. Recently I popped in a SIM (Tmobile on the 30$/month prepaid 100 min/Unlimited Text &Web). The problem that I'm facing however is that I am stuck with only 2g speeds.
Do I have 3g/4g coverage?
Yes. I somehow got it to work for all of ten minutes while messing around in the *#*#4636*#*# menu but ended up running into a bug where I couldn't switch out of the European Band and so I had to do a Factory Reset.
So now I'm unsure as to how to get those signals back. I am on a modified APN setting for Tmobile:
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: not set
Port: not set
Username: none
Password:blank
Server: blank
MMSC: (ht)tp://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.50
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 310
MNC:260
Authentication Type: Not set
APN Type: not set
Any help would be much appreciated. I am running the stock ROM (considering I had to do a factory reset). I have data enabled as well as roaming. I do not have the 2g box checked. Hopefully this provides enough information if not please let me know.
It should just work without you having to mess with anything..

Worked for me automatically.
Problem Solves (no intervention needed)
So hopefully if anyone sees this post they will learn the art of patience like I did. Turns out it just takes a bit of time for Tmobile to recognize that you have actually paid them.
I went to sleep and when I woke up I received a text message from Tmobile saying, "Thanks for the 30 dollars" and I was getting H, and 3G speeds. Issues sometimes resolve themselves I guess. Thanks to everyone who replied.

Yeah if you're registering a new line or SIM, it can take up to 24hours for it to become fully active. Glad your problem fixed itself.

Unlocked the T-mobile phone to work on AT&T, no data usage. HELP!

I got a Samsung Galaxy SII T989 new, for free, off of my uncle who gets phones for promotional purposes. It's a T-mobile phone, and I'm on AT&T. I paid for an unlock code and successfully unlocked my phone for use on AT&T. I can text, call, and use WiFi, but can't get the data to work. (I also can't send or receive MMS messages, not sure if it's related. HELP!

couple things have you asked on the AT&T forum and have you done a google search on how to get your Tmobile phone to work on AT&T?
next is have you changed or rather added the new apn? if any of this is an issue for you I would say your best bet is to trade the phone on craigslist for someone with the skyrocket.
since the two phones are interchangeable as far as roms go I would suspect with a little more digging you will find your answer... check here

^ +1 apn should do the trick, pretty typical for unlocked phones to not have the apns on the sim. Manual programming is going to be fun if you are new to android
Thank you!
Thanks so much! I did that, turned on packet data, and it seems to be working now. Again, thank you so much for your help, muchly appreciated!

[Q] Trying to use T-mobile SIM on Verizon N3. No Signal. Help!

Hey guys I recently acquired a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 from a friend who was on the verizon network. I, however, use tmobile but according to youtube videos and online forums Verizon's Note 3 works both GSM/CDMA without the use of a root. Well, once I acquired the phone from my friend, I was able to use it by tutorials on youtube. It worked for 2 days but now I cant use it because it says No Signal. I did steps 3 times and no luck, including a reset. Any input? Please help!
Have you checked to see if the phone was not blocked?

You should unlock the phone. I think this phone is blocked by Verizon's.

Yeah the phone had a bad esn but I was able to get it uplifted from the original owner. It is now ready to activate yet it can't find service. If I pop in a non active Verizon sim, You can see that there's a signal. But with a t mobile sim there's nothing. I called t mobile and they can't help me cause it isn't "their" device.
Would a root be possible? I never done that before. What are the steps to unlock the device? I'm am willing to PayPal someone with the correct answer!!!! I just want this phone to work.
Yes you will need root!
It may be as simple as editing the APN and the BuildProp to get you up & running!
I have a Note 3 900V it does work on ATT & Tmobile but to get the most out of it it will need to be on Edge, I will not get 4Glte only 4G...
Hope that helps

I had a rooted, unlocked Note 3 from Sprint (CDMA), and while the Note does support both CDMA/GSM, it is only internationally that it works on GSM. Here in the states, you are SOL if you have a Verizon or Sprint version. They WILL NOT ever work on T-Mobile/ATT. Sorry, just trying to save you the frustration that I went through. Sell the one you have, or trade it in with T-Mo's JUMP. as long as it boots, and is in good condition, they will give you $140-$200 towards a shiny new GSM Note 3. Good luck!:good:
Not that complicated.

You guys are making it harder than it is. Just change the network mode from CDMS to GSM and the T-mobile SIM will work. No need to root, unlock or anything. Even if bad esn, it will still work on GSM networks. Currently the CDMA and GSM database is not shared. Hit thanks if it works.
I did do that. I did it 20 even with a hard reset, reboot, installation of new firmware. Still got nothing.

Did you check putting the T-mobile SIM in another phone and see if it is working? It might be that since the phone was blocked on verizon, the SIM got blocked. Normally what you have to do is put the SIM in another clean phone (the SIM won't work still), call T-mobile and ask to ublock the SIM from another phone, the customer care would ublock and ask you to reboot and it would work again. If asked you can say you bought the phone on craigslist(CL) and then the seller reported it lost and so it got blocked.
I have been burnt twice with Note 3 and once GS 4 (total 3 times) from CL that now I have stopped buying from CL or swappa. There is not much you can do for people who run these scams even if you have all the proof, it wont worth the hassle. I went to cops, showed then the ad the guy put, gave the ATM receipt, photos of the bills I have handed over, the texts exchanged, asked for the video footage from HEB but nothing happened. So lessons learnt no more phones on CL.

Hard to believe you did this three times. I wouldn't have tried it even once after hearing about how people were getting scammed with no recourse, let alone more than once.

you need to check your apn settings...
look for a software that will let you change it. I don't remember the name... from the play store..
my cousin had the Verizon note 2, we first rooted, we unlocked the sim with an app, and used a software to change the apn settings and it worked with my tmobile sim..
so you can make it work from Verizon..
sprint on the other hand, locks there phones for only international use, I do know that.
if the phone is Verizon, even if its blocked the imei, that should not even bother on another network,,

I can't find the app. Do you know which one? I been having a hard time setting up this device to tmobile. Tmobile and Verizon can't find the problem. The settings I use is epc.t-mobile.com and fast.t-mobile.com and the same mms message.

I have both versions, att and tmobile. I put the apn in the att one for the tmobile network and it works everytime. I use go sms though also and set the apn in there too so that may be why it works.

I've already tried the T-Mobile internet and mms apn and the T-Mobile US LTE. They enabled the LTE, but couldn't download or send mms. So far that one above has worked so far. Been using it for about two hours now. Will give an update. Anyone else that sees this, I'm wondering if its possible to "rewrite" my lg g3d850 as a lg g3d851 so i can install tmobile's stock firmware on my unlocked at&t lg g3 and be able to run the phone as if it was a tmobile lg g3, ie, wifi calling, tethering, etc. I got the tethering working through the root and edit values method, just want to know if there's a way to rewrite the entire phone
One thing to consider for people reading this thread is that the AT&T version will not work for free wifi calling on the t-mobile network even with the proper APN settings. I was about to buy a brand new AT&T variant and unlock it for tmobile. But for a little more money I can buy a brand new T Mobile version that will not need to be unlocked and will work with wifi calling which is a big plus because I only have 100 minutes on my $30 a month plan

tethering?
Would you be generous enough to share how you got your tmobile tethering working on the att g3? I've tried all I can think of and nothing
I have a T-Mobile LG G# on AT&T. I was not getting mms and the issue was that the APN type had spaces. I don't know how the AT&T support didn't catch that on the hour long call where they remoted into my device but note below:
My setting was
APN type: default, mms, supl, hipri, fota
I removed the spaces to match the settings below:
APN type: default,mms,supl,hipri
I know have working MMS.
Hope this helps anyone coming from T-mobile to AT&T but I'm sure it applies to any APN type setting.
Cheers.

[Q] Tmobile phone to Metro now lost my 4g lte to 3g

I know that on T-Mobile you can get 4g, but not LTE.

You need to verify the APN(Access Point Name) configuration on your phone, in my experience this is normally the problem when switching ISP. Incorrectly configured APNs can cause all kinds of strangeness. In my case when I switch from T-Mobile to AT&T the AT&T rep entered the ANPs incorrectly. This cause speed issues, unable to text pictures and videos(MMS), and the phone had problem switching between towers while moving. A real pain. Once I got the APN correct my phone data performance was better then T-Mobile because AT&T cell tower coverage is much better in my area. Normally two APNs are need, one for 3G and other for 4G(APN type hipri). Also APN type of mms is for multiple media texting, Good luck.
APN config?
You wouldn't happen to know the APN configuration for metro do you? or how I can find it?
