Hey everyone. I've got a Lumia 900 from Rogers unlocked running on T-Mobile. I was finally able to get one. My internet works great. It's Edge but that's because that is from my ten dollar grandfathered data plan so I don't mind. Everything works great I have the purple hue problem but it doesn't bother me much. What I am having trouble with that is bothering me a bit is that I can't send and receive MMS picture messages. Has anyone had any luck getting this to work? I called T-Mobile. They were very helpful as always and tried sending me the settings and everything but it still won't work. Any idea what I could do to get this working? Is it because I have a Roger's phone that was unlocked? Would I have the same problem if I got the world unlocked version? Thanks in advance. I'm really excited about the phone it's awesome. Just switched from an HTC Radar. I don't wanna have to wait until Windows Phone 8 for a phone with MMS. Thanks!
Yes, you'd have the same problem on any Windows Phone not sold by T-Mobile. You need the Network Setup app to configure MMS settings. According to Nokia it should be out in the US late this month, early next month.
Oh okay, thanks. Would the app work or show up for me to download if I have a Rogers phone here in the states?
Yeah, you'll be able to get it once it's out.

Hey Exiva,
Do you have a 900 you are using on T-Mobile?
I'm 2 days away from receiving an unlocked version off eBay. Anything I should know? Are you able to get other than Edge and if not, do you think the refarming effort will eventually bring the 900 to 3G or better?
Thanks

I'm not using a 900 on T-Mobile (Waiting for codes for the phone I won.) As of now you should only get edge, but yes, once the new frequencies are rolled out it should be able to get 3G/Faux-4G.
how did you get data to work on T-Mobile at all ? Did you manually type in the APN ?

You can manually set the data APN, but not the MMS apn.
Just bought the LG G3 after having an OnePlus One for about 3 months. It's a good phone, but doesn't seem to have quite as good of reception as my Unlocked, but AT&T branded S 4 did. So I decided upgrading to a T-Mobile LG G3 might not only give me better reception, but wifi calling which I was anxious to have the option to use.
The LG G3 is pretty great. Doesn't seem to have the OnePlus One's battery life, but it could be that I've only FULLY charged it two or three times yet, and been using it a LOT during the day while setting it up. Haven't totally drained the battery in a single day yet, but I don't seem to have quite the battery life the OnePlus One had.
Anyway, after having some trouble loading web sites, and sending text messages, I thought maybe I should update the phone software. Not looking for Lollipop, I just wanted the latest version of the T-Mobile software for the Soft White D851. The LG site says D85110r is the latest and greatest, and I only have D85110m. So I tried the OTA updates, and it says I'm up to date. I then called T-Mobile, who had me clear my phone cache, and if OTA didn't pull R, they told me to call LG. Just spent 20 minutes on the phone with LG, 15 minutes of it on hold. They didn't know how to make the update available for my phone, and when their own LG update tool told me I had the latest version (while using M), and not R like their website suggested, they promised to look into it, call T-Mobile for more information, and get back to me in 3 hours.
I'm not trying to be a jerk, but with the data issues I'm having, and those seemingly having been addressed with a patch, obviously I'd like the new $500 phone to work at LEAST as well as the $350 phone that didn't have any trouble, just didn't have Wifi Calling, since T-Mobile doesn't sell a OnePlus One as "their" version of the device with T-Mobile Wifi Calling software included.
If anyone can comment on if R has helped them, and if you weren't getting it at first, what you did to get the update... it would be greatly appreciated. I heard a rumor in another thread that some stores were getting a lollipop update earlier today. That would be cool too, but I'm just trying to fix Kit Kat, before worrying about a whole new OS.
D85110R seem to be still in the rollout process. I just got it this week. I'm not aware of any major issues that it fixes, but I haven't had any significant issues.
New features
T-Mobile Free Inflight Texting support
Improvements
Bluetooth connectivity improvements
Wi-Fi connectivity improvements
UI improvements for T-Mobile Free Inflight Texting suport
I am still waiting on R also.
Thanks guys. It seems odd that more than a month after release, you can't just download this update onto any LG G3 that needs it. And my purchasing the phone for wifi calling would imply I'd like wifi to work well on the phone.
That said, the battery has been showing much longer life today, and I do like the phone. Just don't wanna wait past my 14 days, update, and have a problem ya know?
Cheers.
The M software build has WiFi calling too. Did you check your settings? The R update fixed some minor connection problems and enabled in-flight texting. Check the tmo website https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-11935
I also have the OnePlus One, but had to get the G3 when the screen shattered. I also had 10m firmware but could not auto update to 10r. I finally gave in and downloaded the flashable zip and installed through recovery. Frankly, I could not see and added improvements on daily usage.

So I got this today when I checked my update center, I am still on m, not sure if this is the r update. Idk if it would be LP seeing as its only 231 mb. Anyone know how big r is? I would install but I'm not on WiFi.

The r that I got was 200 or so meg. I would say that is it. It's strange I live in a small town and I got the update months ago.
I had the updating issue too.. and the LG tool was saying my firmware was up to date on m.
The way I fixed it was going to the LG tool , going to Options then Upgrade Recovery, now I have D85110R yay!
I updated (and rooted) through TWRP.
Don't update to R if you want to disable 2G.

Disable 2G? How does that work exactly?? It blocks the downgrade to 2g and uses 4g only even if you run out of data?
I just got the update just now at 5am after waiting over a month too. It was definitely a very slow roll out. Even a week after it was released it still would not update even using the LG software tool. Anyways I am excited for it since I was having some very brief data connections. Also excited for in flight texting too!

*#*#4636*#*#
phone information, which can access network mode to LTE/WCDMA, is disabled.
GPRS = 2G
WCDMA/HSPA = 3G/4G
LTE = 4GLTE
I just tryed that code got this
Why would you want to disable 2G. Disabling it would cause you to not have any service if you were in an area without 3G/4G or 4GLTE.

HSPA/LTE is everywhere I am, but the phone simply jump to stupid 2G and the data doesn't work at all.

I can understand that but if you were out in the country somewhere that only had 2G and you had disabled it on your phone then you would have no service
10R doesn't seem to change anything to me, but its best to be on latest software!
Hello everyone,
I was using the Verizon note 4 on tmobile until I got the 5.0.1 lollipop update. Now it won't register on tmobile at all, and there is an "x" next to the signal meter, indicating that it isn't getting any service. I triple checked my apn settingssettings, network modes, restarting. Nothing works. Did the lollipop update simlock the phone?
Anything is possible culprit..I would take out the battery and make sure the Sim card is inserted properly..and if that doesn't work do a factory reset..

Getting TMobile 4G_LTE Working Again
Hi,
I had the same issue with my Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910V) edition. I needed to go back in and add the APN for TMobile US LTE, then all was well. I have included snap shots of mine for reference. Also, make sure you set your "Network" to Global.
Best of Luck
Jonathan

In my situation, I'm a tmobile user but had the chance to get a verizon note 4 at a cheaper price. At this rate though, I may just sell it and get a tmobile version.
Has anyone figured out the issue?
I got another N910V with 5.0.1 today, it has the same problem (not being able to use other carriers' sim cards). I'm pretty sure the 5.0.1 locks the phone. WTF Verizon??
Sorry you're having that issue. I bought a Verizon Note 4 on swappa the other day that already had 5.0.1 and Build ID ending in BOAF. I was able to get signal on it, no problem. Downgraded to 4.4.4 and service was still available. Have your SIM card replaced at a Tmobile Store to see if that resolves the issue. I'm curious as to your APN settings and whatnot.

Honestly I don't think they did that .. I tested many sim cards and it works all the time.. try maybe new sim?
I have a verizon note 4 and a T-Mobile one too which i bought because of not 100% reception.. My friend updated to lollipop he has verizon note 4 service is working perfectly , try keeping the network mode at lte cdma for little while and then go back to global , or try an at&t sim card in it .. if your phone just got bad esn T-Mobile will not work on it too as T-Mobile do not let any bad esn phone run on their network .. i am 100% sure lollipop has nothing to do with it

Well I can't say for sure either, but there are too many people having the same issue (no service on tmobile after upgrading to 5.0.1) to deny that 5.0.1 has anything to do with the problem. Also, the ones that are saying lollipop has nothing to do with sim lock, can you guys check if you're using 5.0 or 5.0.1? The ones that are saying that they stopped being able to use the N910V on tmobile are all on 5.0.1.
EDIT: If you're on lollipop + tmobile on a n910v, can you tell me if you're using the new ISIS sim card?

trouble with note 4 mobile hotspot
Need help, when my verizon note 4 was root, I was able to turn on xposed tether for mobile hotspot. I was able to connect other devices to it, but had limited connectivity meaning no internet. I tried everything but had no idea. I almost want to give up note 4 even love it. Is it because xposed tether does not work on note 4? I have same issue with foxi. Is sqlite editor better, can someone help me with setting for sqlite for Verizom note 4 to try? Thank you
Has anybody been able to get it to work on metropcs? I get an x next to the signal bars. I used the fast.metropcs.com apn and i tried with the 3 network modes ... I was able to get it to work on tmobile but not metro
Found solution.
For those having issues with not service when changing SimCards after 5.0x.
The solution is http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
Just disable Verizon activation (VzwActivationAgent apk) app. NO ROOT NEEDED
I also disabled some Knox services that where already pre-marked.
Now I have service with T-mobile Sim and don't have the annoying "unkown sim" message.
The tool is created by @gatesjunior so, show your appreciation on his thread.
I followed the instructions and also disabled "VzWActivationAgent.apk", still unable to get TMobile sim to work. Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

But from Verizon or where? just asking since there could be chances that imei is blacklisted.
Trying to problem solve here team.
My verizon branded s8+ which I switched to tmobile via carrier switching and firmware flashing, got a tmo update today, and now no longer has wifi calling. I've reflashed new tmo firmware and carrier switched again but no dice.
I'm trying to find out if people who have an original tmobile s8+, got the update and now are on G955USQU2BQK5, do you still have wi-fi calling? If so, it's likely a specific device issue like I'm having and i'm screwed.
Any help/response would be appreciated. Thanks!
tldr - is your device originally tmobile? if yes, does your wifi calling still work after the latest update and now your baseband is G955USQU2BQK5? Thanks! :highfive:
Yes, mine is working fine. Original T-Mobile S8+ and I did the update yesterday. I just did a call on wi-fi prior to typing this.

No problem.
In my town ATT upgraded its cell service to 5G VOLTE HD. About that time my phone and others could not send or receive calls.
ATT also turned off 3G. Some phones cannot then work at all. ATT has a list of phones that would work, and this one was on that list.
However mine was not working, but I could send and receive texts. I heard from some others that perhaps I would need a new simm.
I went to the phone store and got one. That did not fix it. I brought it home and decided that perhaps I needed to upgrade the phone.
I had not upgraded the phone much since the bootloader is locked, and I was waiting for an exploit so that I could get root.
But not being able to use my phone convinced me to try upgrades. I just began upgrading. After each upgrade I checked to see if I could place a voice call.
Eventually I succeeded. I did another upgrade to a newer android version and then stopped. My phone now has android version 10, one UI version 2.5, baseband version a505u1ueu9ctl4, and kernel version 4.14.62-19996794. Now I don't have to buy a new phone, and this one was not that old anyways.
My phone is a samsung A50 us version with a bootloader that can't be unlocked.
My AT&T N10+ N975U is running on Pie. It transitioned seamlessly with no changes made on my end. It was already using 4G VoLTE though.
