I've followed most of this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/help/guide-fire-phone-fireos-google-apps-t3206603) along with updating to 4.6.6, to set up my fire phone, and almost everything is working. I've activated the phone with a Cricket sim, and I can get internet and sms fine. I still can't get mms to send or receive. I've tried several different APN settings from the Cricket website and others. I've tried using the stock messaging app as well as handcent.
Is anyone else using Cricket with their fire phone and able to send/rec mms? If so, what are your APN settings?
My wife's fire phone is working with Cricket, including MMS. I think Cricket takes up to 24 hours to re-reoute SMS/MMS correctly. Maybe give it a day and see if it fixes itself.

So it does work. That's good news. Turns out my wife's BLU phone doesn't work either. It's been over a week since she switched. Would you mind looking at the APN settings and telling me if they match these (taken from https://www.cricketwireless.com/sup...e-byod/customer/bring-your-own-android.html):

I would have to wait until tonight to check her phone, but my Nexus 5 is working with those APN settings.
Well, it turns out the fire phone is set to use the AT&T APN. The Cricket APN is there on the phone, but the AT&T one is selected. And everything is working fine on her phone.
Here is a thread from howardforums that describes this same situation.

Also, I neglected to mention that I use Google Voice, so all my SMS/MMS gets routed as data. Which is why I thought the Cricket APN worked for my Nexus 5.

Yeah, thanks. I've tried all the settings on that thread. No joy. Maybe it's something wrong with my account since all four phones have the same problem
After u create APN are you setting the apn, I believe u click save and select, I missed that the first time around

Thank you more times than I could ever say! I have a carrier unlocked LG H830 (G5), and have spent more hours than I'd like to admit trying to get outgoing MMS to work on Cricket Wireless. You name it, I've tried it. I would never EVER have thought to change the Network Mode. That fixed it. Granted, instead of showing "LTE", it's now showing 4G (3.5G), and my data speed down is about 5MB, but Cricket throttles the down speeds anyway. And, at home on Wifi, it doesn't matter anyway. So again, thank you!
For the purposes of future Google searchers:
For outgoing MMS to work on a carrier unlocked LG H830 (LG G5), the Network Mode must be set to GSM/WCDMA.
Regards,
Mark

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!

After flashing my phone it can't connect to the mobile data network. I re-flashed the phone back to stock and it still doesn't work. On wi-fi the phone works fine. The 4g symbol shows up with the upload download arrows flashing but I don't get any signal.
Can someone please help me? I'm really frustrated...
Flash a different modem?
Did you check maybe you lost the imei on the process of flashing
If 4g is displsyed its probably not imei, but check it anyway.
Also turn off wifi calling and see if thst hss any affect.

You'll be amazed at what a battery pull can fix.
I've tried multiple roms with different radios/modems but no luck.
The IMEI is still there. I don't know what the problem is... For example though, every time I try to go to a website, it gets automatically redirected to http://androidapi.t-mobile.com/apppack/mvno.html I doubt that means anything but just putting everything that I know.
I have the same issue and cant figure it out. Ill keep you posted if I figure something out.

Have you guys checked your APNs?
Tmobile has it set as a web2go plan.
Go to the the "acess tmobile" app and go to your plan and click upgrade. Done. Plan stays the same and everything works again.

I can't even go to any websites on my phone without wifi. When I tried to open that app it wouldn't let me because it said that I can't use wi-fi with it.
And I did "check" my APN, I don't really know if there's anything wrong with it. I'm actually doing this for a friend and I have a Sprint SG3 that I rooted with absolutely no problems. This t-mobile phone though is really trying my patience.
try it again. turn wifi off and run the app. It should take you to your account.
Just go return it then get another phone.
The phone will literally not connect to ANYTHING data related unless on a wifi network. Unfortunately this t-mobile app will not work over wifi so I'm still stuck on what I can do.

I've made some progress. My coworker has a t-mobile gs3 so I switched out the sim cards and it works. So I guess it's something with the sim card...
hello everyone,
so i have bought a Samsung Note3 N900T recently.
and i have paid for the unlock service, so the phone is now unlocked,
so today i went to At&t store and ask for a new sim for my note3 (i used to have an iPhone5, the sim card didnt fit for note3)
after active my sim, i can use my the Note3 to make calls, send regular text.
BUT no matter what i do, i CANNOT get internet access, i have followed the steps by the APN settings, tried a few times and im sure eveything was typed correctly. but neither 4G/LET nor 3G signal shows up.
btw, the only regular text can be send, no pic text. but calls work well.
anybody can help me out?
Have you tried making sure you're set up to an access point? If so, reset it... That may work

Make sure your APN settings are: leave everything normal except for these settings below
APN: phone
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
Multimedia Message Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
Multimedia Message Port:80
MCC:310

APN Type: default, mms, supl, hipri
Bearer: LTE
Also type in the dialer:
*#2263#
Enters in ServiceMode
Chose LTE/WCDMA then you can the back button to get out of all of it.
After I did that to mine, I had Data & everything worked out for me.
Where are you located? Some areas like in the south it's rare to get 4G, usually you're on 3G or Edge.

Hey guys. I'm kinda stuck here. I am getting no LTE service on my phone at all. Of course those idiots at straight talk keep saying im provisioned for it but nope, not getting it. I tried everything I can think of from factory resetting to apn settings and nothing. When I go into my network it bounces between HSAP and HSPAP but no LTE. I live in an LTE service area and was getting LTE up to about a week ago but then suddenly it was gone. Any ideas as to what I can do?
Can ask what are your APN settings?

The ones ST gave me.

APN - tfdata
MMSC - http://mms-tf.net
MMS proxy - mms3.tracfone.com

I don't understand what's goin on. It just doesn't work anymore for some reason. And ST troubleshooting is non existent. All they tell you is to put in those apn settings and it should work. Well it isn't dumbasses!....lol
Also port :80 . I have straight talk too. Your apn looks right
My wife has the Optimus g and her LTE is working just fine. WITH the same APN settings! The last thing I remember doing was going through the hidden service menu but I didn't change anything in there. There is nothing you can change in there to make your LTE stop working. I know with some phones you can but not with the OGP.

Ok guys. I got the issue resolved. I used this method here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351041
The only issue I had was for some reason I couldn't manually edit the build.prop. I had to install JRummies Rom Toolbox Lite and that did the trick.It's so nice to have my LTE back!
Thanks for the link. Always liked to manually set to 2g or 4g when lte was weak. One reason I always installed custom roms and didn't stick to stock.
Sent from my LG-E980 using Tapatalk
Personally I don't worry too much about it. Being on stock with this phone gets great battery life. So no need to turn off the LTE to conserve battery.
So I'm using a Verizon LG G4 on Straight Talk AT&T sim. The reason being is that Verizon coverage is very poor in the area that the phone is used the most. I was able to get calls, data and texting working using the tfdata and/or RESELLER APN. I can't however get incoming MMS messages to work. I installed Textra to try and workaround the stock messaging app but it seems to have the same limitation. I also changed the settings from Legacy to Sytem in Textra but that didn't fix the issue. Does anyone know of a way to get MMS fully working using the ST AT&T sim on this verizon G4 device or is it not capable. Would routing the device make it so I could get MMS fully functioning? If so would I need to flash to AT&T firmware or would that not even be possible on this Verizon device? Thanks for any helpful advice you can offer. I've done several searches on xda and Google but can't find a solution. Thanks again. Steve
