Hi;
I just switched to tmobile from verizon.
Using my verizon galaxy S5. Unrooted
1 )I have seen this setting in this forum for APN:
APN Type should be default,mms/supl,dun
My store set mine without the "dun" at the end of the string. Will/what difference would this make?
2) Is there any way to activate the wifi calling feature on my phone or is it a hardware change?
3) I used to use Foxfi for hot spot tethering with no limits. Is there a way to activate it to work on tmobile?
Thank you.
T-Mobile and AT&T utilize the GSM technology while Verizon and Sprint use the CDMA technology. Their respective devices are also different in hardware. So as far as I know you won't be able to use your CDMA phone on a GSM network. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please!
My S5 is working on tmob.

Ok! This is news for me. Does it say SM-G900V on the sticker under the battery?

Yes.

For what its worth, Verizon devices (not all of them, just some. Its hit or miss depending on the device) for some reason, tend to have GSM radios in them in addition to the CDMA ones. I remember though that the Verizon devices wouldn't work on T-Mobile 4G (HSPA+) due to the 1700 MHZ band. But I believe the refarming of the towers made all 4G (HSPA+) go to 1900MHZ, which the Verizon module supports. So that is why its working.
I forget what "dun" means in the APN setting. As you can see, commodor doesn't have it, mine does. Does it make a difference, prolly a very slight, specific scenario difference. Quick search shows that "dun" stands for Dial-Up Networking. I hated Dial-Up so I wouldn't worry that your's doesn't have that specified
To get WiFi calling, you would need to flash a T-Mobile ROM, note, I said ROM, NOT kernel. I believe all the WiFi calling stuff is in the ROM and lib files. So a ROM might work. I don't think flashing the kernel from T-Mobile would harm the device, if they weren't compatible, you would just get a non-booting device. It would stay at the samsung screen. Which all you'd have to do to fix is flash a VZW S5 kernel.
There are many methods to make Tethering work, many require root. I don't think tethering is possible without root. Also, with these methods, it will still use your data, whether its a tiered plan or not, you will still accumulate data usage.
Thank you.

I've really been considering a T-Mobile Springboard lately, but getting it banks on the assumption that flashing ICS on it would unlock GSM voice/text, and let me use the Springboard as a phone by putting my T-Mobile USA SIM in it.
One person in the general discussion topic basically said that it would work, but I just want to make sure before I plop $300 on a device when I could have gotten a different tablet instead (likely the HTC Flyer 3G at ~$450). I'm assuming I'd have to delete the /efs folder to keep T-Mobile from picking up the IMEI and blocking the SIM with the voice plan on it, correct? And would I be expecting slower data speeds after flashing? I'm not concerned about that part, just wondering.
EDIT: And as the title suggests, I'm talking about the T-Mobile Springboard, not the international Huawei Mediapad.
ICS and Phone work for my Springboard
I have a T-Mobile Springboard that I purchased on ebay. I just flashed the ICS in place of stock T-Mobile a couple of days ago. I had a T-mobile SIM for prepaid Mobile broadband, and got an error announcement when trying to use the new phone feature.
I called T-mobile and had my plan changed to a pay by the day plan just to check the phone functionality. It works great! I have only used it as speakerphone, but assume you could pair it with a Bluetooth headset.
Note - the IMEI from the Springboard will not work to set up a voice and data plan. T-Mobile rep said it was invalid for a voice plan and asked for another IMEI off another GSM phone. If you already have a SIM and plan for a smartphone you should be able to plug it in and go I expect.
Sweet, good to know, think I may have just decided on a tablet. And yeah, I'd be swapping the SIM in my current T-Mobile phone in and out for phone/data capability, not a separate plan for it.
Yes it works great. Well worth it wont find a better deal
I have a SIM card on T-Mobile for the Value Talk+Text+2GB. From what I read here, this will this work fine for the tablet with gsm voice?
I have the same plan, and the voice does work. However, I am so far not able to get both voice and data to work on the plan. I really bought the thing to use over wifi but registered a T-mobile account to try out the phone feature and to allow me the ability to request a SIM unlock.
Just realized I had turned network data off and hadn't verified all three services worked together - so far the answer for me is no. I turned wifi off and network data on, and now I currently can get voice and text working but not internet over T-mobile network. Trying to open a webpage currently just sends me to the my.t-mobile login page.
I called T-mobile support and was told that since it is a tablet, they would not support both voice and data for it.
Is anyone else having luck with getting both voice and data over t-mobile network?

Thanks for the heads up, that was one of my main concerns...I hope there's a way to get all three working together...
Yes someone please verify that you can get all three working.

Areas like user/pass/server should be blank (ie: nothing at all, anything <not set> should be blank)
The other red highlighted areas that you put down don't really matter. If it still doesn't work after that then I dunno... it has to be something else.
I wish we could get a conclusive yes or no to whether or not this damn tablet works just like a smart phone (just like HTC Flyer 3G) so I can decide which stinking one to get.
so eager to get the asnwer too
Seems there is no absoluet yes or no....consfusing....

I'm guessing, since that's the folder I see mentioned in other phone-tablet topics to keep the carrier from catching on.

Is there no ramification (on the phones software) for deleting that folder? Will the carrier just see it as a generic device?

I don't believe so, but you obviously want to back it up elsewhere anyway just in case, and I believe that's the idea of it (carrier unable to detect IMEI and therefore unable to restrict you in some way based off of it).
I don't have any good news on this. I took another run at T-mobile customer service today and was again told that this device was not permitted to have both voice/text plus internet. I can have voice and text on the 2$/day plan or I can have data and no voice on a tablet mobile broadband plan.
T-mobile said "Tablets are not phones!" I demonstrated while on the phone with the rep my ability to make calls and text with the Mediapad.
I argued every logical angle I could conceive, and the rep agreed with any logic I presented for having the 3 services available all at once for tablets. While we were in complete agreement that it would be 'nice' if it would work, he could not suggest a plan that would allow for 'talk text web' on this device.
The rep did say that T-mobile was 'working on' a new plan to allow for these tablets with phone capabilities.

What you should do is just ask for the smartphone value 500 plan.
500 mins, unlimited text, 2GB of data for $49/month
Once that's on your sim or whatever, try to access everything. Don't ask for a plan that doesn't exist.

Could try, but I expect then I would just be out $50 and still only get phone and text. Two different T-mobile reps have said they have no plan that will allow for talk, text, and web for this device.
My experience is as a new customer as my current phone is on AT&T. Possible someone who is already on a T-mobile smartphone plan can get it to work with their existing SIM.
I am quite happy with this device as wifi only for now. Was mostly just curious if I could get the phone function to work. Working now to get a SIM unlock so I can try the thing with AT&T.
Just got my springboard tonight. First thing I installed the rooted ICS leak. Popped in my TMobile Monthly4g Sim (on $30 5gb Walmart plan) and I have phone and SMS but no data. Apps time out and browser redirect to my.TMobile.com... Really want to get this working... Any ideas guys? I'm willing to test. my next step may be a straighttalk byod Sim... If that doesn't work I'll have to move to AT&T and the galaxy tab plus
Sent from my HUAWEI MediaPad using xda premium
I doubt it would work on a ghetto plan like that anyways (isn't that prepaid also?). Wish someone would try a real plan.
I have a pretty much brand new L769 from Tmo.
Sim unlocked.
Traveling in France using an AT&T sim.
Phone does not connect to data network but calls/SMS work (data enabled, roaming enabled). Any ideas?

Sorry to necro this, but when I add an APN and then save it, it goes back to apn list but is not there as an option. I've unlocked and can make calls/text but no data at all. I am unrooted, is there something I'm missing or do I need root to edit apn? Thanks a ton.

You should have a radio button to the right of each apn config. Tap on the button for the one you want.
If that does not work try toggling "Airplane Mode".
If that does not work, you have the wrong apn settings. You will need to contact your cellular provider and ask them for the correct Android APN settings.
Good luck.
Hi All,
Device: 1900 1/8 TrueSmart (US)
ROM/Firmware version: (stock)
Baseband: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V4.P1, 2013/11/09 14:19 (stock)
Changes made to stock firmware: Framaroot + Play Store apk installed
What OS is on your PC if your PC was used: N/A
Issue: I took my US AT&T iPhone 5 SIM (with a nano to micro adaptor) on Omate TS. The voice call is clear and no problem at all. TS recognized the phone number right after a reboot. However there's no data connection.
Steps Taken:
The Wireless & Network/SIM management/Data connection shows ATT.
The Wireless & Network/SIM management/More/Mobile Network/ shows
1. Data connection: ATT
2. 3G service: Enable 3G/ ATT
3. The APN is correctly generated
4. Network operator: Manual or Auto, it will only let me choice the ATT 3G.
However it won't connect any data.
in Setting/System/About TrueSmart/Status/SIM Staus
Mobile network state is "Disconnected"
I tried another SIM (US AT&T iPhone 5S), same result. I read in the other tread someone mentioned that the US AT&T iPhone will lock to IMEI, but those 2 SIM is swappable between my 5 and 5S...
Any idea? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Lokifish! Confirmed that ATT HSPA+ profile works for my case (figured out that iPhone 5/5S are on 4G network - duh). The reception for data is not as good as the same sim is in an iPhone. Sometimes I have to go near a window to get connected (don't need that for iPhone in my house). The speed... is much slower of course. I got the best 1.55/0.45 Mbps d/u 87ms vs 22.33/7.64, 17ms on WIFI. vs best 21.33/7.67 17ms on LTE iPhone.
The TS gets very warm using wireless data btw. But it's a good start I can finally try to run with it and test gps and fitness apps!
BTW the voice call quality is good. I was worried before from the what I heard in Chinese Omate forum. But now I believe that they fixed the mic feedback issue at least start from the US 1/8 version.
Anyway hope this post can help people use the same setup as me too!

Hi guys, Great posts about ATT. So i have a question. I have an aio wireless sim(AIO is owned by ATT) and I am able to get voice service working but not data. I am guessing its the APN settings being guessed incorrectly because the TS things the SIM is an ATT sim when it is inserted. I try to go to APN setting on the phone but the screen is blank and doesnt allow me to edit the settings. I need help in figuring out how to change the APN settings for my TS . Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance,

Hi Lokifish. Thank you for the quick response. I did run the patch and it didnt fix it for me. I can now see the apn screen title but there is no content underneath it or any form to enter apn settings. Are you the one who is maintaining the apn settings list? I can send you the APN settings for AIO wireless if you don't have them. I am excited to finally have my TS but its been frustrating trying to get data working on it. Thanks in advance for your help.
Just for reference here is the APN settings for AIO

Hi Lokifish,
I didn't know if you had a chance to view my response but wanted to see what your thoughts are and see if you might be able to add AIO into your MVNO APN list that you have built for your patch.
Thanks in advance,

Sorry, been really busy. You can add an APN by doing the following;
Go to Settings> More> Mobile Networks> Access Point Names
Swipe from left to right to pull up the menu
Select "New APN"
Fill out the needed fields
Swipe from left to right to pull up the menu
Select "Save"
I'll update the patch when I get the time.

Hi, are you refering to the mod patch/ status bar? from the general page?
No. I was referring to the EnSec patch which is no longer available and was never updated for the new EU 2100 hardware.
One of the nice things Lokifish had added in to the EnSec patch was a large number of APN settings for carriers that Omate did not bother including.
Hello!
I have found out a way to allow MMS messages to work on AT&T Go Phone Plans.
I have seen many posts regarding this issue, and many people seem to still have an issue even after it is marked resolved in the github threads.
Here is how i fixed it for my device :
**Device Used**
Huawei Honor 5X
Android 7.1.1 Lineage OS Nightly
KIW-L24
AT&T Prepaid Go Phone SIM
**Steps**
First, if you are using a custom ROM, or even the stock Huawei ROM, It is likely you need to configure your APN settings.
You may have APN's that downloaded automatically, or you can create a new one if none are there.
Here are the things you need to make sure are set in Settings > Data > Cellular Networks > Access Point Names:
Name: ATT Nextgenphone
APN: nxtgenphone
Proxy: none
Port: none
Username: none
Password: none
Server: none
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type: none
APN: default,mms,supl,nota,hipri
APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
Bearer: Unspecified
MVNO Type: None
Next we need to configure some settings for Signal:
**SMS**
SMS Enabled
"Wifi Calling" Compatibility mode: ON
**Chats and Media**
When using Mobile Data: Images, Audio, Video
When using Wifi: "Images, Audio, Video"
**Reboot your phone and attempt to download an MMS Message**
You should now be able to use your AT&T Go Phone SIM and Signal with both other Signal Users and unencrypted with Non-Signal users!
thanks
the only changed that was required on my side (straight talk on at&t) was to change the MVNO and Bearer to none/unspecified.
I managed to get this working after reverting back to stock and then realizing the difference in default values for MVNO and Bearer. Would have saved me time if only I saw your post 2 days before I found the solution myself. +1

Hey guys...
I've been using a rooted G965F UAE S9+ on ATT prepaid... I've been having issues with poor signal strength. I upgraded from the stock nougat to pie g965fxxu4cse3, baseband 965fxxu4cse1 but this didn't help... I thought it was the service provider since I moved from Philadelphia to Mobile, AL, so I switched to tmobile and this helped a bit but I still have problems. I went to the tmobile store and they told me that my device is unidentified on their network and showing that I get 2g, while other Samsung devices (s10) in the store have full bars and lte. I feel like I had the same issues with my S7 edge duos... My question is, does the international phone that I have use weaker signal strength? Do I have the wrong baseband version? Any other ideas on how I can identify and fix the problem? I like using a rooted device so I'm not going to switch to an American version and I really don't like the other phones out there in comparison so any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks.

Hey guys...
I've been using a rooted G965F UAE S9+ on ATT prepaid... I've been having issues with poor signal strength. I upgraded from the stock nougat to pie g965fxxu4cse3, baseband 965fxxu4cse1 but this didn't help...

Do you have the correct APN settings for AT&T or T-Mobile?

I was hoping I could flash the baseband for the g965u1 variant but it didn't work.... ODIN froze at "verifying file."
The APN looks good. Might be a baseband issue. Someone with deeper flashing experience than me might need to chime in here.
