Okay first off I can CONFIRM THE REZOUND IS A GLOBAL PHONE (lets just get that out of the way).
EVIDENCE
Okay so I purchased my HTC Rezound form an American eBayer and he shipped it to me just after Christmas (i live in the UK), i was already under the impression that the Rezound was a global phone but just before it arrived everyone was saying that it doesn't have the GSM or WCDMA networks which made me sad
But when it arrived i thought i would try what i thought would work, sooooo i place the sim card in the phone and powered it up. After setting it up i went to the phones dialer and dialed: *#*#4636#*#* and then went to phone information and changed the network type. I was shocked to find that there was many options including 'GSM only' and 'WCDMA only' . So i switched the phone to WCDMA only and the phone picked up signal and showed T-Mobile in the notification bar .
(I got my data by adding the T-Mobile APN and then going to wi-fi settings>>advanced and changed the time till wifi switches to mobile network to 15 mins (then waited 15 mins))

Problems (That i think can be fixed)
Okay so the only two problems are:
1. I can receive and make calls, can use data (internet) but i can only receive texts and not make them?
(When i try to send a text, as soon as i press send the network signal shuts off and i have to press no when a message appears that says something like "would you like to try and send text when phone has signal?")
Anyone know how to fix? Is this T-Mobile UK SMSC Number?: +447958879879
I HAVE TRIED:
1. Changing SMSC number under: *#*#4636#*#* (there is no option in the HTC Mms.apk (Messaging app))
2. Changing to/installed HTC Sensation XE's [SENSE 3.5] Mms.apk and still same problem (also made sure the SMSC number is correct)
Screenshot to show texts not sending and network stops: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0U8I71u15EGYTFhMGEwZmMtMzYwZi00MTdkLWI2MGQtYmIxMDljNGUyZDgy
2. And the other is just to get rid of the lockscreen message that says "This SIM card is from an unknown source".
TEMP FIX (Until Reboot): If the ROM you are using has the tweaks menu (MikROM) then you can go to Miscellaneous Options>>>Choose Lockscreen Style and select 'Android Lockscreen', Then Restart or Hot Restart and change the option back to 'HTC Sense Lockscreen'. THIS WILL REMOVE THE 'This SIM card is from an unknown source' message, but this process must be done every time your battery dies or you turn off the phone.
(still better than the ugly message every time you turn on the phone screen).

So please could some DEVS work on this cause this is another great advantage to the Rezound that was let down by the Verizon tailored HTC Sense.
This
You just need the exact right apns for sending texts. I hope you deleted the Verizon ones?
I'd do an APN backup of an htc t mobile phone, then in the rezound delete apns, then restore apns
I use apn backup and restore
Mb you've already done exactly this but thought I'd suggest. Need to customize a few apns for your phone number, mb didn't customize all of them? Our if Verizon one still sits there?
Possibly need a copy of an mms.apk from a gsm phone because some settings built into the Verizon apk may make it fail to send
I did delete the verizon ones, and i only filled in the T-mobile APN like this and left all other settings blank:
APN: general.t-mobile.uk
Username: user
Password: pass
Dude, seriously.... DOES NOT BELONG IN DEVELOPMENT!
Back in my experience with AT&T, there was a phone number for the messing center that needed to be input. Otherwise, you couldn't send text but could receive them. Do you'll need 2 things ... the phone number to your carrier's messaging center and the place to input it in your phone.
I did a quick look and couldn't find the field. But that's what you're missing.

It does belong in mods but if this works fully I would be very happy to not need a gsm phone when traveling internationally.

No, it does not belong in development. Development is for WORKING MODS/HACKS/ROMS/KERNERLS/ETC, not to talk about or request Developer help. Hence why it was moved.
I think it is funny that people think that the Devs are locked in the development forum and can't get out. That the only place to reach them is in there . Yes they can and do read other forums!

I was just in Japan. VZW rep told me my phone would work out there. Got there and could only receive SMS and Calls, couldn't make SMS or Calls. Two other people I was out there with had no problems with there VZW iPhone and LG android.
Global support told me that the 4g LTE sim can't authenticate on the CDMA network or there. I was able to get $40 off my bill for my troubles ....

That would be because you used the VZW sim which only works on certain frequency. They are talking about unlocking the sim and using one that authenticates for GSM/WCDMA/LTE.
The MMS.apk app you have is the CDMA version of it so no you will not have access to the SMS center number... You need to have the mms.apk from a GSM sense phone to have access to that settings, but even then you will probably run into problems.
Problems like.. Resolutions issues, FC's ... It not working at all
OR... Its a universal apk and a simple edit with in one of the XMLs would enable that options or something..... Food for thought

I did try and download an app call SMS Pro (or something like that) and it had the option to change the SMSC number but my text still cut the network out as soon as i press send
try pushing the mms.apk and such from a european sensation sense 3.5 rom. Then reboot into recovery and clear the cache and dalvik cache. Maybe that will work for you.
Ok here's my evil little plan. I am from India. And its only 149$ on Amazon. So can I buy it on Amazon and then just use it here? How much would it be, without contract?
There are.only GSM networks here..so will.i still face problems lie the OP?

Hi all,
So I bought a factory unlocked Nokia Lumia 800 to use while travelling, and ideally I'd like to have it signed in to my US Live ID so that I can have my music with me while I travel (which is all Zune pass) and my paid apps and contacts etc., and have my AT&T microSIM in it before I get to Costa Rica, then switch to a Kolbi/ICE microSIM while I am in Costa Rica.
The issue is I can't seem to find any way to configure the settings for internet and MMS. Before signing into my Live account, I can see Network Settings app in marketplace, but then it goes away. I read online that if you hit ##634# it gives you a Diagnostic menu with options for MMS and APN settings, but when I do this the app has no settings option.
If I make a UK Live ID, I can download network settings, which detects and configures both AT&T and Kolbi/ICE, but I no longer have my music or paid apps.
How can I get this to work? If I use my US Live ID and AT&T microSIM and just add the Kolbi/ICE APN when I am in Costa Rica, will this work, except with no MMS?
Is there another way for me to install the Network Settings app with my US Live ID?
Is there any way to have my Live ID on the device, with the ability to use both AT&T and Kolbi/ICE web access? Or do I have to just use fake Live ID and network settings app and deal with not having my music and whatnot?
Help!

I have the same problem, if somebody has the xap maybe we could side load it.
Apparently Nokia pulled the Network Setup app from the market due to Interop Security Bug, I've read they are updating it and it will return at some point
not true. Portuguese marketplace has the app available.

Did you have to do anything else for it to work (interop-unlock and all that) or did you just get it SIM unlocked with the PIN code and it just worked? I have an unlocked T-Mobile 710 that I'm using with Straight Talk AT&T SIM card, and I had to install the Tango ROM because I can't get MMS to work without the Network Setup app (which comes with Tango as an installed app).

My phone is simfree but TIM Italia branded. It seems that now somehow detect my provider settings without app. My phone isn't interop unlocked unfortunately. I think that major problem is US providers and i had a problem because i have an US Live ID
I always that it was the region of your phone and not the Live ID?

Unlocked Nokia Lumia 800 with MMS Working
I bought a factory unlocked Nokia Lumia 800 to use while travelling too. What a pain it was to get MMS working when I got back to the US! Thanks AT&T for making it sooo easy, NOT!
Here is what I did:
Changed Region+Language to English (United States)
Shut Down and Restart
Dialed ##634# (1st time I was able to press Send, 2nd time it launched Diagnostics)
Shut Down and Restart
Set APN to wap.cingular (Settings, Cellular, Add APN)
Used bing Image Search on my phone to scan QR code to download the Network Setup App
Set Network Selection back to Automatic (Settings, Cellular)
Launched Network Setup App
Add new APN
Connection Name: ATT
Internet APN Settings (if not listed below leave blank)
Access Point Name: wap.cingluar
MMS APN Settings (if not listed leave blank)
MMS Access Point Name: wap.cingular
Proxy Address: wireless.cingular.com
Proxy Port: 80
MMSC Address: http://mmsc.cingular.com
Nothing really new, just putting it all in one place for easy access for the next person.
Good Luck!
Tim

hello is it possible to have the 4g + on the European version of xiaomi mi a3? because I only capture the 4g
I have the same question.
For turn on the volte write this code in dialer app *#*#86583#*#*
It's just the Google One UI, you are getting 4G+ don't worry.
The Google One UI tries to simply everything by not bombarding you with + or VoLTE signs etc, however they can be enabled using service settings if you really want to take up preacious space on your notification bar.
You can confirm what signal you're getting and the speed with free apps from the Play store.
after the October and November update, the problem of lack LTE+/4G+/Carrier Aggregation is still not resolved.
anyone know if xiaomi is working on a patch?
I have EU version.
On my simcard LTE+ works with Mi 8 lite
What's 4G+/LTE+ and how to check if I have it?
Is it the enhanced LTE mode (voice calls over data)?
4G+/LTE+ is implementation of LTE-A standard, involves carrier aggregation, 4x4 MIMO, etc. It's more about data rather than voice over LTE. I have 4G+ in my area while VoLTE is disabled.

Probably Mi A3 just misses the specific carrier profile and uses a generic profile not 100% compatible with that specific carrier. I have another carrier profile issue, when I enable VoLTE I cannot send SMS. Because the generic carrier profile assumes SMS over IP/IMS when VoLTE enabled, while my carrier uses some perverted setup where SMS still sent over signalling. I doubt Xiaomi will rush adding/updating carrier profiles. If you have root you can change carrier profile with QPST PDC tool.
it is possible to change the carrier profile without root??
If you mean changing carrier profile using that Qualcomm PDC tool then nope. You need set "setprop sys.usb.config diag,serial_cdev,rmnet,adb", but it's impossible w/o root since Android 8.
I rooted and tried to enable interband carrier aggregation using this guide. Everything seemed to work fine, but I still don't get 4G+. Anybody was successful with this, maybe following a different procedure?
Sapper Morton said:
CA works great using B3, B7, and B28, didn't modify anything, using it as it came from the box; 3CA supported, tested using • NetMonster, just a reminder, some carriers are known to not be able to trigger device status bar icon (4G+/VoLTE) even though there's support; I recommend using the app above, if you see LTE-A, there's 4G+ connection.

Seems to work for me.
It also works for me, but only when wifi is connected. When I disable wifi, Netmonster says I'm connected to only one band, I think that's why I never see the 4G+ sign in the status bar.

I never see 4G+ just 4G.
Xiaomi Mi A3 support only Contiguous CA: https://cacombos.com/device?model=M1906F9SH - so thats why you maybe don't see 4G+ in your network because most of network do Non-Contiguous CA.
before the update to Android 10, the speed was very good with 4G +, but since only 4G appears, the speed dropped considerably
I'm from Mexico, with Telcel, Mi A3 Global
I leave images with the speeds
Has anyone with the European version for Android 10 managed to run operator aggregation?
hi i have same problem with original rom 4g+ ok but with pixel experience rom i have lost 4g+ blocked in 4g

Hi friends,
i just got a tablet but it doesn't detect any mobile sim /networks to make calls or SMS.
Some details are :::
New Chinese tablet 11.6 inch. s119, Android version 9.0, dual sim.
cpu model : MT6797
in available networks, some network comes up of other carriers which are 4g but in front of them (forbidden) is coming so can't use.
One network of other carriers comes but when I try to connect it gives an error.
"""Can't connect to this network now. Try again later.""
I tried changing the apn settings manually to my carrier, then usually there is the only option of 2g /3g networks are coming. can't send SMS to the carrier because basic SMS calls can't be done as it not able to read the network. Though it does read both sims & their carrier in sim cards option

to use one or second sim for mobile or phone option.
My phone is broken down (mobile shops are closed due to locked down corona) & now I can't use this tablet as a phone but even basic phone network bars are not coming, so it means it's not able to read the mobile network.
Is there any way to get the network bars & use this tablet as a phone?
Can I change something in some file?
Can you tell me if I need to change the entire android version?
there is a software called Antutu benchmark, I have attached some pictures from that.
I have also attached some gif of the network options. sorry, I can't copy-paste, so please check in the attached gif & ask me the info.
thanks for the guidance. Any pointers would be great, as I am locked in like you also but with no mobile...
if you can get my mobile started will be great. thanks
To Admin: Sorry there is no option to upload attachments of screenshots. where do I upload a screenshot ? I have linked it to google drive photos... It seems like outside links for pictures are disabled. How do I upload pictures?

Thanks for taking the time & respond to help.
The phone doctor gave no solution to the network problem or fixed any.
Though it did recognized that there is problem in cellular network.
When phonedoctor ran to test call function:
it ran : The system will test the connection to the mobile network operator automatically : Network operator , Network name , Access Technology, Support VOIP : = all came blank but in the main menu where call function is the it gave a green checkmark & today's date.
In Cellular Network option when ran :
Turn off Wi-fi, Turn on mobile data and make sure you're connected to your mobile network. Press the [start] below to start the test.
Check chip : ok , Public Ip: x , Check error packet : 0
Public ip had a red cross sign.
when back to main menu Cellular Network option had a red cross in a circle.
Seems like it can't read the apn settings of the current mobile carrier or not able to connect to the mobile tower nearby.
But when I ran some other apn settings app it does detect the nearby tower & some information i get is as follows :
Current network :
Signal strength : -93dbm 26 asu
Voice service : Emergency calls only

Above is some info I was able to get from some apn testing software.
Please let me know how can I get at least basic calls /SMS functions to work & tablet to get mobile bars. Tablet is without mobile network bars.
I do appreciate it in advance if you can put me on the right path to get network bars.

Thank you so much for the idea of changing apn.
I have set the apn you mentioned above, nothing happens, rather the network which comes otherwise also goes away. So network in available networks.
Usually, the SIM card which i put in the ablet the apn for that carrier comes up automatically as it can read the carrier but just doesn't bring them in the list of network available.
As per another thread somewhere I read it has something to do with ROM.
I searched on apn you have mentioned they come up for another TPO mobile carrier, so it seems like they won't be relevant to me.
My apn is set as mentioned by carrier.
Just in case if you search the thread mentioned in double quotes
"Teclast m30 (MT6797x helio x27) github" by "Anatoly Su"
it gives some kind of driver for Mediatek MT6797x (the chip I have in my tablet of CARBAYTA Processor Manufacturer: MTK helio x20 Screen size: 11.6 inch

Can I test with some other software ? or can I change something through MTK Engineering app?
I wonder is there any online site where I can get help?

Hi, canadian s23 ultra on telus provider , that block the option to prioritize wifi.
So even if sometime I got mobile network, it kicks me out from wifi, but still the signal to weak to make any calls...
I've called the tech, and this is a internal policy to unload their server.
But makes no sens for me, wifi calling is useless.
Only option : toggle airplane mode ... ok, phones can play AAA games, but not prioritize wifi.
My OnePlus 5 is rooted and I can force wifi, any way for the non-rooted S23?

That's a d!ck move by Thellus... unexpected even for a cartel member.
Videotron allows the selection and also I can turn on WiFi after putting the phone in Airplane mode.
Try to play around with service codes (fewer and fewer working these days) or to create a shortcut from Settings menu using

Telus requires WiFi Calling activation. Have you activated it through their website? It's a crap shoot system. They also heavily limit devices that are "compatible" with their WiFi Calling. They don't really want people using WiFi for calls.
Of course it's enabled, it's working, but drop me out the moment I got signal.
BUT not because I got signal that means it's stable !
If I put air plane mode, Wifi calling, dont move that expensive phone, so yes, Wifi calling is working.
Telus don't want us to use wifi calling, telus don't want client, too bad, full refund and make me , their tech and their seller loose time and money for a stupid simple option ''wifi prefered'' blocked by their policy.

I just tried to use some routines to make this work properly. Basically, I selected a location to be at home and turn on airplane mode and another routine when I'm leaving home to turn off airplane mode and enable mobile data.
I haven't tested this yet but in theory, it should work.

yeah should work most of the time, but when the wifi connection go off and back , the routine wont work.
Anyway, Telus shop is in front of Rogers shop at my office, I just get refund in one, and got back on track with the other and never deal with this BS connection in 2023 !

Have you tried reaching out to their engineering team? I have dealt with them directly before for a few different things. The last time I had to deal with them over WiFi Calling, which was years ago. They made sure it was provisioned to work on the LG V30 I had and it was solid. It took 2 weeks of callbacks to get someone from their engineering team though. Don't call support or customer care either. Call their main number in BC and let someone call you back.
One of my carriers, Vodafone NZ, does this too. They prefer VoLTE in front of VoWiFi. Massive pain if your on the boarder of coverage as the limited signal you do get isn't enough for a usable conversation, but enough to drop VoWiFi. Missed and rubbish calls result.
Typically the carrier hides this toggle behind their carrier settings. You used to be able to access and change this hidden setting with the Samsung Band Selector app, but this no longer works for me. You can still see the toggle, the app just crashes when you try to make the change.
I'd be very interested to see a workaround too.

yeah, when you type this kind of issue, Vodafone is the king of this topic ! I read most of the vodafone forums, and some get it by some app , like wificalling or VoWifi on the playstore. But none are working.
VoLTE work when you have signal, which I dont have... My reading are -100 to -109 dB, wifi calling seems to stop when I reach around -88dB , but way too low to make a call.
Yes Ive reach the eng. dep : internal policy it appears. I'm trying to make this policy change for me, because you know, its a mouse click to have the VoWifi working at no extra cost.
FINAL UPDATE,
Tried an other provider sim ( videotron) and the option appeared !!!
So yes COMFIRMED, providers block the option, so makes the wifi-calling useless in low coverage area.
You could always file a complaint with the CRTC, not that I think it would do anything. They are more crooked than the FCC and FTC.

I mean they don't lie, they have the wifi calling, but if you're in a 0 signal zone.
In a ''in between'', which is IMO very useful, it doesn't work.
They have the right to do this, and it work with their definition. Only thing, it's bad that they don't tell you.
How many client are in my situation, not much I would say.
Yes there's many post on that.
And now 5 new from me.
Maybe one day they will change it, but it won't be this week, and I need to return the phone before 14 days ( as been 7 and weekend they are closed)
Please tell me guyz Rogers got this option !

It's the point that they offer something but render it almost useless on purpose. I know. In Canada, that is perfectly acceptable. Just look at their list of approved WiFi Calling devices for Android.

Rogers WiFi Calling works. It's just as trash as AT&T's implementation though because it's the same implementation. The only carriers with the same implementation as T-Mobile USA is Bell and Freedom. Freedom's service is a joke though.
