It was already done. MMS is working, Edge is working. 3g is not working. My friend has Sensation XL with the same operator and at his phone 3g works well. So the problem is in newer radiomodule or in newer android or I'm handass and done something wrong). Wifi works good and network type is Wcdma prefered, but there is, in service meny, type of network is EDGE. Any 3g in any caces.
Ok, thread can be closed, my provider something changing in towers and 3g isnt available for this moment.

[Q] 2G/Edge only network mode on T mobile?

Hello,
I have a Samsung galaxy s3 international rooted and stock Samsung 4.1.2.
My question is I got the cheapest package of t mobile which is 500mb of high speed data (unlimited 2g)and unlimited calls and texts. I wanted to know is there a way I can manually just use 2g when I want to versus 4g?
Do I have to switch network mode? There is auto, gsm and wcdma. Which one should I be on?
P. S. I can use 2g only if I switch to gsm but then I can't receive phone calls. I can call though. Same situation with auto.
Please help!

GSM only will force 2G. And if you can make calls Id assume it should be possible to receive them.

[Q] Trouble with XT912 data network

Hi all. I just bought a XT912 unable to get any 3G/data connection. I'm from Singapore and the bands are 2G-900/1800 and 3G-2100. I saw the specs on gsmarena stated that this phone supports 2100mhz band so I don't understand why I'm able to get any data connection. Ive set the mobile network to wcdma. Voice call is working well. Only problem is no data. Any inputs will be appreciated. Thanks!
Update
Problem solved. Added the user and pw in apn.
Did you set up any APN?

Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925F on T-Mobile USA and LTE/Data problems

Hello. I have an SM-G925F which I bought from Telekom Macedonia and I am still using my number from there also but I am currently in the US and would like to use it on T-Mobile USA.
I know that the device supports all the same bands as the SM-G925T model.
The problem I am having is that when my phone is set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM in the Network Mode settings, I do not have any data connection at all, only when I make a call, I start to get a data connection but only 3G/H+. If I switch my setting to WCDMA/GSM, then I get a data connection at all times like normal but it still is only 3G/H+. I have tried two different APNs and different settings in the APN but I still cannot get a data connection at all times on the LTE/WCDMA/GSM setting and I cannot get LTE/4G at all.
After contacting T-Mobile, all they came up with is to try to have the same software reinstalled on my phone. Does anyone have any experience with this and can anyone help me?
Anyone?
Call Tmobile and have them input your phone's IMEI in their system. Ask for the APN settings as well. I am on the same boat and one call to ATT got me from H to 4G. Your phone will just show 4G, not LTE but you will get LTE speeds regardless.
I tried doing that too. I called T-Mobile a few times and they confirmed my IMEI number being on the account but still no luck. It's really weird..sometimes I get 3G/H+ on the "LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)" network mode setting on the phone but most of the time, I get NO DATA connection at all..only the signal bars.
Any Update
Did you finally figure it out? Is LTE working now?

Need help with MMS, sending & receiving

Hello everyone. I jsut got my Le Max 2 yesterday and noticed a very annoying issue. I can't send or receive MMS messages....that is unless I manually change my network from 4G to 3G. It's very strange that the phone doesn't do this itself.
I've entered in all the correct APN settings (this was needed in order for me to get 4G speeds. The downside is that it only stays on 4G unless i tell it to switch.
Some useful info:
I am on the stock rom 5.8.018S (stable)
I went into the menu via dialer *#*#4636#*#* and have selected LTE/GSM
I 'm on the Fido network in Canada (same as Rogers)
Will flashing another, newer rom solve my problem? Any help or advice would be appreciated!
I am with Freedom Mobile and do not have 4G. In the phone settings, dual SIM networks, network mode, even I set to 4G priority, I can get 3G without problem . In the *#*#4636#*#*, it was set to unknown by default. If you set it to LTE/GSM, I don't see how you can get 3G.

If I don't set it to that I won't get LTE. I can also leave it at unknown but it'll stay on 4g at all times. Point is, unless I manually go and select 3G priority and have the phone stay in 3G I won't be able to send/receive MMS.
I'm also having issues with the LED. It only works for text messages but doesn't light up for Hangouts or email (emails don't push either). As you can see lots of annoying issues! I'm not sure it's worth keeping the phone unless flashing a rom will solve this things.
