Wow double posting...

Well I need help. Ive had this problem for WEEKS now. I need MMS. dunno if its the settings or the cab or wat. anyone with the combo help.

Just so you know, this does not belong in the ROM development thread so don't be upset if a moderator moves it.
Have you tried changing your MMS settings? Does data work on the phone? If you are using the stock SMS program, you should have no problems getting MMS to work just fine. First you will need to set up your Data connection:
1 - Tap Start > Settings > Connections > Connections
2 - Tap the Advanced tab > Select Networks.
3 - Under "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet...", click New...
4 - Under the General tab, type "T-Mobile Data"
5 - Under the Modem tab, tap New... and type "Data" for the name of the connection and select "Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)" from the drop down box. Then tap Next.
6 - Enter "epc.tmobile.com" for the Access Point Name (APN) and tap Next.
7 - Leave the username and password fields blank. Tap Finish.
8 - Under the Proxy Settings, check to select "This network connects to the Internet" and also check "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet"
9 - For the proxy server, type 216.155.165.50 and then tap Advanced.
10 - Tap HTTP and change the port to 8080. Tap OK.
11 - Tap WAP and type 216.155.165.50 and enter 8080 for the port. Tap OK.
12 - Tap OK until you return to the Today screen.

Once you do this, you will need to set up your MMS:
1 - Tap Start > Settings > Connections > Connections
2 - Tap the Advanced Tab > Select Networks
3 - Under "Programs that automatically connect to a private network...", select "T-Mobile Data", which is the SAME connection you are using for your data.
4 - Tap OK until you return to the today screen.
5 - Go to your messaging and tap Menu > MMS Configuration.
6 - Tap the Servers tab > New.
7 - Enter MMS in the server name field.
8 - Enter 216.155.165.50 in the gateway field and 8080 in the port field.
9 - Enter http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms in the Server address field.
10 - Select "T-Mobile Data" from the drop down list and select WAP 2.0. Tap OK to save your settings.
11 - Scroll to MMS and tap Set As Default. Tap OK to save your settings.

After a soft reset, this should get your MMS working. Send an MMS to yourself to test if everything is working.

First I would like to ask you what phone do u have and for what company is that phone phone. I can tell from your Tmobile sign that you have tmobile. Also what rom do u have. Im using Mighty rom right now. Also I have Arcsoft For Tmobile cab(lastest one) installed on the phone. Do I need it or no.

Forget it. It worked!!!!!!!! OMG THANKKKKK U. YOUR THE BESSSSSSSSSSSSSSST. U know how long im looking for my MMS to work. I tried tons of things. THANK GOODNESS. someone finally helped me fix this. good work freakingwilly

I'm surprised noone noticed he said a Sprint TP2 (CDMA) on T-Mobile service (GSM). This is simply a prank thread, a CDMA phone will not work at all with a GSM carrier.

2 radios.

Well, that's a first for me. So the Sprint TP2 still has all the GSM equipment inside AND a sim card slot? Kinda nifty. Apologies to the OP then.

I also came across that bit about the Sprint TP2 having GSM/UMTS and CDMA/EVDO radios. That interests be a great deal, because I'm pretty sure that ATT runs on 850MHz for GSM and 1900MHz for HSDPA. I also believe I noticed those frequencies were supported by the Sprint TP2's (Gobi?) radios, but require 2 separate Oli unlockers to use on a stateside GSM carrier, and hopefully be able to utilize Verision's 3G network in places where ATT's does not exist. Verizon has EVDO Rev A in the vast majority of backcountry places where I like to kick it sometimes in the contiguous 48. When I first read about "Gobi" a year or two ago, I thought that it was pretty frickin' nifty.
So far through my asking, somebody said it wouldn't work on gsm/edge or umts/..., and another said that only 2G would work. I like having my about-to-be HSPA+ in a 30 mile circle around my house and other sufficiently populated areas, and I got Cingular back in 2003 so they're pretty chill about when I pay my bill and sometimes I manage bill-eliminating account credits when they screw up my account/orders and crap. It's crept up from $60 a month when I first got my wizard with unlimited data/sms/mms to $103 and change. The idea of being able to have my original Cingular SIM card in a CDMA phone and get all of my HSPA 7.2 goodness when it's around/better battery life when not using data and operating on GSM, and use EVDO Rev A when I need something faster than EDGE for tethering. Best I've gotten on EDGE is 15 kB/s.
If the CDMA TP2's can be that kind of awesome thing described above, I might work more to maintain a simultaneous account with Verizon postpaid when I go on road trips with some no contract goodness, and temporarily disconnect my no contract ATT postpaid when I do. That would be seriously awesome. If it can't be done on a flavor of the Rhodium, does anybody think that the next version of the real sliding qwerty with a tilting screen HTC device will be able to operate on all of ATT's frequencies, as well as Verizon's? I saw something about the Mondrian, but it doesn't have a keyboard and is therefore disqualified.
Also, not really excited about WM7 or Android because I don't see any Android sat nav apps that use an enormous map image on one's microSD card instead of being reliant on a data connection for maps, and WM7 is supa'shaky for local maps sat nav since it's not even out yet, and both TomTom and Garmin no longer manufacture their WinMo products, which is retarded since the garmin boxes run on CE and it's $100 of almost pure profit, even with an enormous piracy rate. If Android gets a ballistics calculator, herb strain guide, and local map sat nav with preferably NAVTEQ maps I might just jump ship if I can keep it from communicating with Google. I don't want Google knowing knowing any more about me than they already do. I've had Gmail for a long time, and the ads aren't quite creepy but they're ubertargeted.

9 - For the proxy server, type 216.165.155.50 and then tap Advanced.
10 - Tap HTTP and change the port to 8080. Tap OK.

Why in one part do you have 216.165.155 and the next 216.155.165?
Is that a typo? If so which is correct?
Thanks

Hypocracy much?
I know you tried to contribute to the answer, but you lack the necessary details that would be required. My original post may have been long, but the first thing that the OP said was that they got it working and left thanks. Continuing to reply to the thread (especially with these kinds of comments) are unnecessary and only bump up old threads.
Just like mom always said "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
Request to close please.

worked!
Worked! on a US Cellular phone running mightyrom on the t-mob network (obivously) Cheers!!

turning off lte

i know there isnt a toggle for turning of lte on the at&t variant but i thought there was some work arounds to this. can someone please post the steps to do this?

There's fairly simple instruction for this not only on xda, but on multiple other sites as well. Have you heard of Google?

In short - change APN settings.

actually theres a better way, if you're on CM10 or AOKP dial *#*#4636#*#* and choose WCDMA only or WCDMA Preferred. This will prevent the phone from trying to use LTE as its default network.

It doesnt if you're on AOKP at least for my ATT it doesnt, if I set it to WCDMA preferred as it is by default I never see LTE, even with the PTA APN selected, and I know LTE is active in my area because on stock and CM10 I default to it and get upwards of 30-40 Mbps

See here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1826409

Theres also a way if you have root to create the new APN and have it stick (reason it doesnt stick is because PTA is set as default and because you cant change it reverts back to PTA). I'll give the steps I took to allow me to edit my PTA APN. again remember you need root. (also sqlite)
1. Using root explorer (or similar) navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony>databases>nwk_info.db
2. Tap on Carriers
3. Select line for AT&T PTA 310/410 scroll all the way to the right and under editable put a 1
4. Do the same for ATT Entitlement
5. Go to the PTA APN Menu>Settings>More Settings>Mobile Network> Access Point Names
6. In the PTA APN delete the values in the "APN type" field (this will prevent the phone from defaulting back to this APN)
7. Create new APN

Only down side to this is that the phone will periodically drop ALL signal but then gains it back withing 15-20 seconds. I'm also still looking for a way to enable the "Network operators" selection through root explorer (I imagine it to be in a similar place as the APN settings). Any help from someone more knowledgeable than me is appreciated. Hope this helps. Also below is a link to where I posted working USSD (MMI) codes that I found. Maybe something can be discovered in those.

[GUIDE] Troubleshooting mobile data issues

Hi all! After spending some time helping others get mobile data connections on their i747 and i747m up and running again, I've come to the conlclusion that a lot of hassle could be saved if a lot of the problems and solutions I and others have encountered and used were compiled in one place for easy reference.
I intend to come back and update this thread as more problems / solutions become available; feel free to post here if there's something I've missed that should be listed here.
To avoid confusion in terminology between stock and AOSP ROMs, I'm going to refer to network types by the name of the technology that powers them and not 3G/4G labels. For a quick reference, EDGE normally corresponds to 2G, UMTS normally corresponds to 3G, HSPA/HSPA+ show as 4G on stock and H/H+ on AOSP-ish roms, and LTE shows as 4G LTE on stock and 4G on AOSP-ish ROMs.
So, find the section below that most matches the problem you're seeing, and see what we can do to help!
----
Table of contents
1. General pointers / I'm not getting any data at all!
2. I'm only getting an EDGE signal / data.
3. I can get UMTS data, but not HSPA / HSPA+ data.
4. I can get HSPA / HSPA+ data, but not LTE data.
5. Carrier-specific issues
----
1. General pointers / I'm not getting any data at all!
Before you get started trying to connect to specific types of data networks, make sure that your SIM card and mobile data plan support the type of network you're trying to connect to (this is mostly a problem with LTE these days, but if you have a very old SIM card you might also run into problems with HSPA/HSPA+).
Keep in mind that your telco probably doesn't have all of its networks available in any given location; if you can't connect to a particular network in a given location, there's a good chance that you just don't have network coverage for that type of network in that area.
Also remember to check if the mobile data toggle on your phone is on (Settings -> More... -> Mobile networks), and that it's set to connect to the appropriate network types (e.g. that you don't have a "Connect to 2G networks only" toggle on when you want to use something other than EDGE). In particular, those on AOSP ROMs (I have not double checked if this is doable on stock) can dial *#*#4636#*#* to enter a settings menu, go into "Phone information" from that menu, and scroll down to a setting entitled "Set preferred network type" which shows what types of networks the phone baseband is currently configured to connect to. This setting has a tendency to be reset while flashing a new ROM, so it's not a bad idea to check the setting on a regular basis.
If you've done that and you're still not able to connect to your desired mobile network type, the next step is to check your device's Access Point Name (APN) settings, under Settings -> More... -> Mobile networks -> Access point names. You should obviously have an APN related to your current service provider active. Although most stock images and ROMs should have these filled in properly already, it's a good idea to check them against a known good set of settings; as a point of reference, you can find a list of LTE APN settings over in this thread.
Lastly, one step that several people have reported success with is to reflash your modem baseband firmware. The images are available in this thread, and are flashable with most non-stock recovery images.
----
2. I'm only getting an EDGE signal / data.
This is most commonly caused by your phone losing its IMEI, which can occur sporadically when flashing new ROMs. This thread contains information about and a tool for restoring your IMEI to your phone.
----
3. I can get UMTS data, but not HSPA / HSPA+ data.
Outside of the problems listed in 1. above, this mostly seems to occur in Android 4.2-based images. Android 4.2 is designed to "ramp up" to HSPA/HSPA+ data only if the phone is actively using data; that is, if you're not actively using data (in a non-LTE area), your phone will default to a UMTS connection - this is to save battery life. Thus, chances are you can get a HSPA / HSPA+ data connection, and your phone will just not do so until it needs to do so.
----
4. I can get HSPA / HSPA+ data, but not LTE data.
Most of the issues that cause this scenario are covered in 1. above - lack of LTE coverage, not having an LTE SIM, not having an LTE APN set, and/or not having a correct network type set are the major ones. Beyond that, you may want to refer to some of the LTE-specific threads in these forums for additional insights, such as this thread.
----
5. Carrier-specific issues
Bell: You may need to have "national data roaming" enabled for your device to connect to the Bell network.
Rogers: Several ROMs have been known to get the Rogers LTE APN data incorrect. As reproduced from other recent threads, here's what I believe to be a known good set of settings:
APN: ltemobile.apn
Proxy: <not set>
Port: <not set>
Username: <not set>
Passwors: <not set>
Server: <not set>
MMSC: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
MMS Proxy: 10.128.1.69
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 720
Authentication type: <not set>
APN type: either "*" or "internet + mms" (reports vary)
There have been reports that the old APN settings may need to be deleted entirely for this to stick.
----
I hope this helps some of you out, and saves you some time and effort in getting things up and running again.
If you're encountering issues that I haven't addressed here, and/or have solutions to add that I haven't thought of yet, please be sure to come by this thread and make a note of it here.
Good luck!

Nice post, very helpful, I would add step one to check to see if the IMEI is still there, cause most people don't check that first....saw one thread where we were helping a person, and whoa, he had no IMEI. Just a thought....otherwise perfect info.

Thanks for the suggestion; I've found for the most part that people who lose their IMEI and don't realise it will report it as "I can only connect to 2G/EDGE networks", hence the section dedicated to it above. If people seem to be getting confused about it, I'll probably change up the ordering in the guide.

Thank you for this post. I agree, very helpful. Unfortunately, I still face a bit of an issue. Having referenced the "I can get UMTS data, but not HSPA / HSPA+ data" I found that that did not exactly apply to my situation seeing as I cannot get HSPA/+ at all, even when actively using data. I then looked at the first option and having reviewed that, I typed the code into my phone's dialer and went to phone information. My I747U is set to LTE/GSM auto (PRL) and I found no option for HSPA/+ which could be the root of the cause. Any further suggestions on how to get my HSPA/+ back? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi - LTE/GSM (and/or LTE/GSM/CDMA) are the settings I would expect for your phone to be able to connect to both LTE and HSPA/HSPA+ networks.
What ROM are you running, and are you sure you have the right APN settings to be able to connect to an HSPA+ network? Have you been able to get an HSPA/HSPA+ signal in the area under other circumstances?

I've been running CyanogenMod 10.1 nighties and I'm fairly confident that I have the right APN settings, but I'll go review that. Running CyanogenMod 10 I was consistently getting HSPA/HSPA+ and even briefly restored from a backup of it to make sure my phone was still capable of connecting to it (it was).

There have been some reported hiccups with CM10.1 and data; you might want to check over in the nightlies thread for the latest info.
I'll also take the opportunity to point out that CM10.1 was one of the first ROMs where the ramping behaviour described in the OP was observed.

[Q] Phone won't roam-settings are missing

Hello everyone,
I have a new AT&T plan with five lines, all using Samsung Galaxy S3s, all having the same problem. My 14 day grace period to cancel is almost up and I'm at my wits end searching for an answer. The phones are not rooted as I do not understand most of this technology; however I'm smart enough to know that this is a problem beyond rebooting the phone or resetting the SIM card, as every forum out there is telling people to do. Calling tech support (please don't make me) is a LAST resort for any device I own.
In the town where I work and shop I have no signal at all from AT&T. No voice, text, or data. AT&T coverage map shows "good" coverage in this town. Every so often I do get a weak AT&T signal but only for a few seconds. I do however pick up a very strong signal from a T-Mobile tower. I know that AT&T and T-Mobile both use GSM and should be compatible for roaming purposes, but the phone does not roam; it just shows a strong signal that I cannot connect to. Also, it switches back and forth between these two towers. I posted screen shots taken one minute apart.
In my phone's "Mobile Networks" settings there is no option to chose a network. There are only four options on that page: Mobile Data (checked), Data Roaming (not checked), APN, and Network Operators. I have tried adding a new APN but that did not work. The Network Operators tab says "Default Setup" and I cannot change it. I understand this is an issue with AT&T - they deliberately remove these settings.
I have gone through all the settings in Service Mode using *#197328640# looking for a way to enable the missing settings. I have already used the Service Mode to disable LTE (another setting AT&T likes to deprive us of) but that was not the problem so I put that back on automatic. I have also checked and unchecked every imaginable combo of settings such as wifi, data, airplane mode, etc.
I think the problem is either that the T-Mobile tower is interfering with what *should* be a good AT&T signal, or that the fact that I am "connected" to AT&T (albeit with no bars) is preventing me from roaming. I'd like to know if there is a way to disconnect from AT&T to test that theory. Also, I'd like to know if there is something I can do from Service Mode to enable the missing settings so I can set up roaming.
Thanks so much for any suggestions or help.

Just the default one called "ATT Phone".
I tried a Cingular APN in order to get a better connection to the AT&T tower, but it didn't work and I removed it. I found the T-Mobile APN info and was planning to try that next time I'm in town if I don't find some other solution first.

Is it the wap.cingular or pta one? You have to reboot after changing apn's but I'm sure you already knew that

Unfortunately, it didn't work. I also tried to use a T-Mobile one and the phone wouldn't even let me save it.
I broke down and called AT&T tech support to find out where the roaming settings are in the phone... of course they didn't tell me, but they did tell me they don't have a roaming partnership with T-Mobile in my area. Therefore I'm out of luck and will be cancelling my contract.

Ive been having the same problem the last two weeks and no one seems to be able to help me out. The best advice I can give is to change your APN to the lte one and its supposed to work from there, people usually have the most success doing that. But it didnt help me so any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

Last time I had that issue, I created a new ATT APN and changed to it. After a reboot, the phone changed from CDMA to the LTE preferred mode.
I can't tell you if that stuck though, because I flashed another ROM the next day and never saw the issue again.
Here are some APN's you can use. I used the last one:
Name: ATT PTA

This is my exact problem, I have hyperdrive which I love, but I have no LTE. I am having the same problem as OP and I have not been able to find a solution. Any help would be great!

Believe it or not, I somehow found a way to fix it for me. Now Ive literally tried everything I could find on the topic and nothing seemed to work. Kind of on a whim I decided to go to Network Operators in the settings and selected ATT, after that for some reason I was able to pick LTE/GSM/WCDMA. I disabled data, dialed *#*#4363#*#* and changed it to LTE/GSM/WCDMA and then made sure I had the right APN selected and re-enabled data, and next thing I knew 4G popped up! I hope this helps someone. I was infuriated for a few weeks without 4G and the fix was much simpler than what everyone kept telling me to do.

I tried this, but unfortunately for me it did not work :crying: Although its a little different for me since I am on Telus, but I followed the same steps and picked Telus in Network Operators. But no prevail. Hopefully I can figure something out

Same here, with rogers and not able to get LTE/WCDMA/GSM mode on the latest hyperdrive rom .13 RLS13
Back in CM10.1 I am able to get LTE signal
Any idea?

I'm having this issue in that I am only able to select the following two options, and have them stick;
GSM/WCDMA auto
GSM/WCDMA preferred (this option is currently selected).
If I try to select "LTE/GSM/WCDMA", it immediately goes back to GSM/WCDMA preferred.
I'm currently using StraightTalk on the AT&T network. I know the sim I have in the phone probably won't allow access to the LTE network (I want to get new sim cards to get LTE through StraightTalk), but I should be able to at least select that network option, and the LTE radio would scan, and find nothing.
I'm on the 9/13 nightly, stock kernel.

You will need a new sim and it will allow you to select it. They will overnight it to you for free for 7 bucks on the website.

Go back to mobile data and select the correct APN, then reboot from there. It should stick.

BAD SIMS CARD!!! Get a new one...

You should try posting this in the AT&T S4 forums. This thread is for the S3.

Now you can

Ive been having the same problem the last two weeks and no one seems to be able to help me out. The best advice I can give is to change your APN to the lte one and its supposed to work from there, people usually have the most success doing that. But it didnt help me so any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

^^ That didn't work for me.
I previously had an Axon 7 that got stolen. I ordered another one on Swappa and can't for the life of me get it to connect to LTE on AT&T in Southern California (Los Angeles area) when my first one had no issues at all. I wonder if the sim card they gave me isn't an LTE card. It's really frustrating.

Worked like a charm. Thanks alot!!
Edit: Tested on Stock Oreo LG V 30

Theres an app called 4G Only Network Mode on the playstore that allows you to access more in depth settings of your device, then you can manually lock the phone into LTE mode or whatever mode you prefer.
