hello, I have a rooted and bootloader unlocked htc amaze.
I have checked the threads here but for my wind mobile network, mms is not working.
I am surprised you can have 1 apn for both internet and mms.
is anyone having the same issue or better yet resolved this?
Thanks for any help
I have the same problem, i tried putting in APN Settings for Internet and MMS on a telus unlocked HTC Amaze 4G. I suggest you try a custom rom (bulletproof? or energize i think they have the correct APNs built in and with a newer Camera App)
Hm same situation here but I am on mobilicity. Weird it used to work on X's 3.5 sense but on NRG it doesn't.
If ur on nrg rom, if ur not on tmobile u need to manually enter your carriers apn settings
Check here for apn settings:

I already did
I am on most recent energy rom release.
I have 4 apn's pre populated, don't know what 2 are for, Broadband and WAP.
The internet and mms apn's that are pre populated, all look OK.
Spent couple hours on phone with Wind tech support and they no help at all. They just told me to do hard reset, then checked my account, all looked OK. They refreshed settings and reloaded things on their end, still nothing.
Try deleting all the apn that are not for your carrier. Shut down phone and do a battery pull, then see if it works. Not sure it will i just saw it recommended in a diff devices forum

Thanks for suggestion, however, only apn's showing are for Wind, my carrier.
What about the broadband and WAP apn's what are these for?
Never seen them before. Should I delete them?
Thanks

Ok. Had the same problem setting up my mom's Amaze on Wind. It did not want to receive mms not matter what I tried. I called in to tech support, battery and Sim pulls. Got frustrated as hell with the locked APNs!
But in the end, the magical key to unlocking mms on her phone was so damn easy....try sending one instead of just testing by receiving them. Don't know why I hadn't tried it sooner. Also don't know why it worked. I just assumed it initialized something within Wind's backend. After that, it receives perfectly every time!

thank you to all whom have replied, however, it is still not working for me.
Could it at all be linked to the ROM?
I am currently on the most recent version of Energy.
I am almost for certain I had it working at some point previous to this but just not sure when (not sure if I was rooted yet or which ROM or maybe I was OEM, not sure).
After you root and put custom ROM on, is it possible the Wind network sees you as a Non Wind phone even if you bought the phone from a Wind store?
Just trying to trouble shoot this.
Thanks for any help others can provide.
My Mom's phone is fully stock. However it had this problem originally. This was the first phone from Wind. Everything else was either Tmo, nexus, or a dev device, but all worked for mms. I have a feeling its on the network side. Call them back and push them to dig a bit deeper.
Mobile Internet on ICS doesn't work.
I was running GB on WIND, with the phone unlocked and with S-OFF. Then I downloaded the T-Mobile ICS upgrade. After the ICS upgrade everything works except Mobile Internet. I tried the WIND APN's to see if that would help, but no joy. Any idea why the mobile internet doesn't work after an ICS upgrade? Wifi internet works just fine.
I also tried to load the WIND ICS upgrade (over the air version) I found on the WIKI (after the fact) but it won't load over the T-Mobile ICS build.
So I put the latest .10 ICS leak on my phone yesterday because I can't wait for the OTA since i'm leaving soon. I downloaded the 4G on off app and am thinking I should be able to pop in any SIM card and it should work on GSM. Is the phone unlocked? Also I might need to use my normal Verizon SIM to use in Italy and Spain. The verizon reps said if I left it in it would work just fine. Is this true? I currently don't have any GSM cards to test with and I've been looking everywhere for the answer but no success. Help would be amazing.
Thanks in advance
For full GSM support I believe you need to install one of the custom roms with it added...

But I thought that was one part of the ICS update. So is the phone kinda locked like I can only use verizons rates? I want to try a SIM but I don't have one
With GB or the ICS leak you probably can get basic calling and texts with a GSM cell company sim card.
With the conrom ROM you should also get mms and data to work. Supposedly everything works.
Also, I suspect gsm antenna is not in the extended battery cover, so you should use the standard back cover that came with the phone.
I personally have not tried gsm in my rezound, so the above advise might be incorrect. this is just something I am interested in.

p.s. T-Mobile sells a $1 sim card with 10 minutes of talk time, an internet deal. So you can buy this $1 simm to test with.
p.p.s. You will also need to go into the settings and add the apn settings for the cell company whose sim you are using. data and mms won't work without this.

Thank you so much. I just need calling and data and mms to work. I'm just going to google how to change the APN setting as you said. Thanks a lot for the help man. I have the ICS leak which is supposed to support global roaming straight from VZW.
Well, there is a thanks button you can click on.
I do not know much about Verizon's New global roaming, bit I suspect it will be expensive per minute. Using a local cell company's sim card probably will cost less for long visits overseas.
I wrote an app called HZUTILS which can also do the radio changes like the LTE on off app. My app is free, also does a few other functions, and if you click on an advertisement I earn a few cents.
The CONROM is available in the development forum. During installation one is asked GSM or LTE. no easy switching back and forth. I suggest you make a nandroid backup first with Ramon ra recovery or the touch recovery. Restoring the backup is a method for returning to LTE. Or one can reinstall the conrom and select LTE.
If you look through the development forum you will find other gsm ROMs. The CONROM does both LTE and GSM, was made from the latest .10 ICS leak, and sounds like it is very reliable.
p.s. let me know how this works for you.
Thank you but I don't wanna root my phone really.. I forgot something last time and almost bricked it. Well not really but it was scary. My only question is really can I just switch it from your app as it is now because I can or must I have a custom Rom for some type of reason?

I recall, a few months ago, reading a very long multiple page posting about people having various levels of success with stock GB and changing the radio setting using LTE on off app. People were successful with phone calls and texting, but had difficulties with mms and data.
People did strange things to get data working, and it only worked for some people. I think it involved driving the phone in a car to get somewhere with no cell signal, then back home? Not sure, as I don't recall it very well.
Then people started typing in the APN for their gsm provider. This evening, just for fun I tried typing in the APN for T-Mobile into .10 ICS leak rezound, and it would not get saved. No error message. Verizon appears to have locked out the capability to add a non Verizon APN. So, yes, I think a gsm ROM is needed.
BTW, there must be plenty of rezound owners using GSM who can more confidently give you more concrete advise. They can tell you what they tried, what worked, what didn't, and what is the best approach. I think the answer is a GSM ROM, or paying high roaming charges to Verizon.
Alright ill just try and get a sim off someone on at&t and see what happens. But thanks a lot man I hope I get an answer from someone doing it. You were a lot of help ill let you know how it goes!!

I just received the official Verizon ICS in the last hour. I am poking around looking for the global feature, since it is THE promised reason I bought the phone. Offhand, I do not see the global feature anywhere . Network mode still only shows' LTE/CDMA' or 'CDMA only' as the choices, so it seems that 'global' is still not official from Verizon in the ICS as just shipped.
The LTE ON/OFF app seems to have a few more options than when I last looked, but I've no idea what's may have changed.
I put in a tmobile SIM card and changed the settings in the app to GSM and wcdma and it worked calling and texting! It didn't have data but if you go to mobile network settings and access point names I feel like you could add the apn and be golden using data and mms over gsm. I'm Hoping this is the truth but I don't have anything to test it with

I'm on the leak from three months ago, in Afghanistan. Popped in a sim card from a shop on base and it works with no problems. Calls only though no data. I'm using the extended battery. Had to use the lte on off app to put it in gsm.

GSM switch gone in ICS OTA?
Looks like option to switch to GSM is gone. Dialing *#*#4636#*#* does nothing...
that option to show network modes when dailing *#*#4636#*#* is removed in latest RUUs and official OTA, but however you may flash any of ROMs available to get GSM

So SMS worked with the ICS OTA, both send and receive? Last time I tried 2 months ago under Gingerbread, GSM calls were fine, but could only receive SMS text, could not sent texts, and never got data to work.
I've spent over 1/2 of the last 3 months overseas, so this is a big deal to me. Even if just the calls and SMS send/receive work, I will be pleased. VZ told me the global feature is not in this latest Verizon ICS OTA, but maybe the inner workings are there and they just haven't put in the frontend and any VZ profitmaking carrier lockouts?
I am off to South Africa next Friday. Sounds like I will have to get an MTN sim in ZA and try again when I get there. Maybe this ICS OTA will have some value to me afterall. I'll try to remember to post back here, whether it works or not. If it all works, however, I'm pretty sure the posting will only be redundant info, since my screams of giddiness would be heard around the world... afterall, I've been using an old unlocked GSM RAZR flip phone when I travel.

The LTE ON OFF app still seems to allow access. However, until I get overseas I'm not sure how to tell if it is truly switching/working
I only tried receiving a text/: sorry I can't confirm sending. But if you flash a gsm Rom which I might everything works

I've tried searching around, but I can't seem to find an answer. Back when the Virgin Mobile ICS ROM leaked, I mistakenly flashed the firmware along with many users. Later, somebody came up with a fix for the connection issues, etc. I did that fix, but it never changed the carrier text on the lock screen back to Sprint. Is there a way I can permanently change it back to Sprint? I've seen ways to do it temporarily, but if you flash a new rom, it'll say Virgin Mobile again.
I want to see if I can sell my Evo 3D soon, but I'm afraid people would freak out if it says Virgin Mobile... Any ideas?
There was a partial fix which you may have done, this link leads to the complete fix.

Has anyone seen any issues with the one not receiving phone calls or text messages or stops receiving while on LTE? Also sending duplicate texts. Already cleared cache...factory reset the device and finally T-Mo deemed the set had a hardware issue and sent a replacement one. Same issues. When I turn the LTE radio off all my issues seem to disappear. Its crazy....noticed it started about 3-4 weeks ago. I didn't start tracking it until then. Its possible that the ROM is jacked but on two different handsets? Has anyone seen this issue in the Oklahoma area?

Honestly, ive been having the same issue lately. And it happened occasionally with 4.2, but now with 4.3, it has gotten worse, occurring almost daily. I haven't received a replacement device though, because I'm just going to switch to a nexus 5 soon. Tired of the stupid purple camera tint with HTC doing nothing about it except a bogus software update that would "fix" it.
I live in Southern California, btw.

I live in Galveston and happened to me today. Receiving Messages and phone calls wouldn't go through, and I had to restart the phone and then everything came through... I am rooted and running Mike 31. Something. I want to blame it but I guess is doing it on stock phones too? I might go back to the store and see what they do for me. And can't blame tmobile itself because my sisters iPhone 5 its just fine. So must be the device.

Actually since tmobile doesnt have voice over lte it's going to drop down to 4g whenever you take a phone call. It has always been this way with lte. If you're in a bad 4g area then I assume voice isn't going to work.
However the issue I've been having since 4.3 update is when I'm on wifi my phone won't receive text messages until I get off wifi.
Has something to do withWiFi calling?

Have you considered that it may be an issue with your APN settings?
Try the settings mentioned here:

I have the exact same issue on my european HTC One (Vodafone).
As soon as I disable LTE, all phone functionalities are fine.
The signal bar also raises from 2 to 3/4.
This issue is affecting calls as well as SMS. Interesting enough:
When LTE is active and I am "not reachable", I can go into settings -> call -> call forwarding.
As soon as the device is checking the network, I get 4 bars and all missed calls and SMS come through.
I did find the following thread, which helped me to identify the issue:
andromods(dot)com/fix-troubleshoot/fixing-htc-one-x-plus-cant-receive-calls-voicemail-problem.html
So this seems to be not only related to the HTC One, but the One X also. (Same LTE Radio??)
I will check with Vodafone, if there will be a replacement, as I am almost unable to use the phone..
Hope this helps!?

In addition: I never had this issue with Android 4.2.2 (stock ROM), but since 4.3 (stock, version 3.63.161.6, HTC sense 5.5, SDK 5.65, baseband 4a.21.3263.04_10.38m.1157.04l, kernel 3.4.10-g6ac477c) I seem to have this problem..

I'm just off the phone with HTC support.
They did raise a ticket, however, it is unlikely that this issue will be resolved in 4.3.
They did ask me to wait for 4.4, which is due by the end of January 2014 (rough estimate, as per the service agent).
Guess we all have to wait then, or to use a different ROM..
I've also been having this problem. But I believe my wife has as well with her S4, and it's become more frequent since she got 4.3 about a week ago. I wonder what's going on?
In a related issue T-mobile is starting to use the Metro PCS spectrum to improve our service

Yea I did. They're looking into it. We'll see where it goes.
It's bad 4g reception from carrier, Samsung s4,iPhone 5,5s has same issue with some of carriers in some country's. I'm using iPhone 5 s and htc one and i have same issue on both phones. So just turn of 4g and enjoy your phone. you do not need that kind speed on mobile phone yet.
updates?
i have the same issue on my htc one and im on att. it sounds like and issue with the firmware/os. im running 4.3 and when i bought it it was running 4.2 and i didnt experience the lte issues. im currently putting the phone in gsm mode to get it to work. but does upgrading to 4.4 fix the issue?

I'm having the same problem as well, I'm through virgin and currently running 4.4.2, seems like the update didn't work.
some updates: I've done the update to 4.4 and it didnt fix anything. from what ive found on the net people are saying that they have issues with the sim card being bad or that the phone is unlocked and att is blocking it access to the 3g/4g networks. i havent been able to verify either of these two but thats what ibe found out.
This message started popping up about two weeks ago. Was running the new viper for a few weeks when it started, but it does it on all the roms I've tried since it started. Ran the latest ruu hoping that might help but it didn't. Only found that one other person that this error with this device on whole internet, but never found if he fixed it. Tried a few ##codes#, but nothing has worked. The only way to get it to go away is to turn the phone off and turn it back on. But it always comes back, sometimes within minutes, sometimes several hours. The only I can think of I haven't tried is calling Sprint. I would greatly appreciate any and all suggestions.
