Ok so I am encountering a little problem here.
1 - I do not have a data plan (which is why I picked up the ATT version of the GS2)
2 - I am on T-mobile
3 - I am not able to send or receive pic messages
I turned off my mobile network data on my t-mobile phone but would still be able to send/receive texts.
Anyone have any idea of what is going on?
You turned off mobile network that's why

I've used AT&T windows phones in the past on Tmobile (and vice versa) and usually you have to change quite a bit to get it to recognize the network properly, like the address it uses for mms. Idk if it's the same with Android.

Anyone using Simple Mobile for Vibrant, do your MMS work? If so could you tell me which rom your using and APN Settings.
Mines just says download and hangs there and never downloads.
I also have Simple Mobile and i use these settings for the APN: http://simplemobile.webs.com/index/Android Configuration/Android Configuration.html
My MMS works, but sometimes i can and sometimes i cant download, its happened on all my Vibrants.
Okay I will try, I guess its just the Vibrants

I use the settings from this video. It is more specific than the page linked to above (which gives options on certain settings).

My internet and MMS work now.
How does Simple Mobile coverage compares to T-mobile? I believe Simple Mobile users can't benefit from roaming agreements between T-mo and AT&T. What about the network speeds before the change and after?
I'm considering canceling my service with T-mo and going with Simple Mobile. I also have a Vibrant. Please, let me know if the change is worth it. Thanks!
I really like simple mobile. Data works well - after installing a custom rom it regularly goes to H or hspa. $50 for unlimited text / voice / 100 meg data is plenty for me. Just don't expect to get much help on the phone. Be sure to buy the sim card on ebay. It's only $1.
No it's not just a vibrant is happen every phone I have used on simple mobile hd 2 and iphone everything
Hi,
I received the phone yesterday, put in the SIM which has data enabled on my old phone.
Voice calls work fine but I get a message saying that there is limited data connectivity. WIFI works fine.
Initially when I went through the set up process MotoBlur could not connect (later realised my WIFI was down) So I turned off Motoblur using Bluroff.
I have set up the phone with my gmail account and downloaded the market app. the version of the market app I have is 2.3.6.
My system details are as follows:
System V4.1.83
Android version 2.2.2
Baseband N_01.77.15p
I thought it might be the APN considering I am using it in AUS and it is an AT&T phone. Confirmed the APN with another phone on the same carrier and still no joy.
I have even inserted the other SIM to ensure it was not mine.
Data connections have all been switched to the on position, I also dowloaded an APN toggle to ensure that the data connection was on.
I have full bars from the carrier with an H+ symbol next to the bars.
There is a small window for me to send the phone back. I am hoping there is a simple explanation though.
Thank you in advance.
Was your last phone an iphone? If it was you need to switch the data plan.

Thanks,
I will go back to the carrier to confirm my access.
Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone has been able to disable the AT&T mobile network but still been able to get multimedia messages. From the home screen I push menu, settings, battery & data management, data delivery and uncheck data enabled.
While this does turn off my internet connection to AT&T, I cannot get mms messages from my buddies.
I was able to disable the internet on the htc inspire.
Not sure if this is just phone related or rom related. Im using the alien rom.

you need to be connected to AT&T with data enabled, thats how the message is downloaded lol.
If you're not connected to the ATT network, there's no way they can get a message to you. It's looking for your IMEI/ESN on the network to be able to transmit the information to your phone.
Then how come with my old inspire I could get mms while mobile network was turned off?
I have the 200 MB limit and I don't want to go over it... with the inspire it had an option to disable the internet from att. The only internet I had was with.

MMS needs data connection however AT&T text messaging plan includes data for MMS.
for internet browsing and apps you needs separate data plan. MMS will work (keep your phone's data connection enabled) with regular text messaging plan.

I would be okay with that if the data from the mms didn't count toward our data quota. That is the problem with the mms on our phones.

I am using the Atrix on T-Mobile US and I can tell you that for my carrier MMS data DOES NOT count towards data plan limit.

The data used to send an MMS message does not count towards your data plan quota on AT&T either.
I think you need to enable data using a mms only APN. Sorry, i'm not real good with APNs so i'm not sure what the settings need to be.

Has anyone else spent a lot of time fiddling with getting the Verizon up and running on at&t or T-Mobile in the states? Has anyone else gotten LTE working through the hidden menus while maintaining the ability to set APNs? (I got the LTE allegedly turned on with GSM but was then unable to change or use APN). I have also had some issues getting the stock messaging app to correctly use the proper MMSC for MMS -- currently workaround using Go SMS Pro and its manual settings. Another issue I have is incoming caller ID with my at&t Sim comes in the format +7075551212 which results in an invalid callback.
Has anybody successfully resolved these issues? I'm on rooted stock ME7 and would assume this is a safe assumption for this thread.
With an unlocked bootloader I would think tmo WiFi calling would be possible by flashing or porting a tmo ROM. Does anybody have a WiFi calling workaround?

I have been using my i545 with a T-Mobile sim in the Seattle area for 2 weeks now. I was using the hyperdrive 9.1 ROM and a couple days ago switched to the Eclypse ROM. Both required adding the APN and neither giving LTE. There is another thread where a gentleman is attempting to shoehorn in a different radio but so far has only succeeded in bricking his phone, but I am holding out hope.
I have noticed that with hyperdrive the icons showed 3g 4g and HSPCA+ but on eclipse I only get the 3g icon for hspca+ and no icon for 4g or 3g on eclipse, which doesn't really bother me much but something I have noticed.
I have had zero mms sms issues i keep hearing about. I use the 4.2 AOSP messaging apk. I should note that my wife has a note 2 from verizon also running a tmobile sim and she had issues until i added the mms proxy info in the apn. Now she can send fine also. (i also had to delete the setup.apk to get rid of the sim notification on her pgone but not mine.)
One thing I am having an issue with is when I cycle the phone on and off. When it turns back on I get a notification that all calls are being forwarded to a 1800 number but when I click the notification it thinks for a bit then disables all 3 settings and the phone works fine.
I hope someone smarter than myself can figure this out. Our radios are supposedly able to pick up and frequency, so in theory it is possible. I tried to flash a 9500 ROM in hopes the radio settings would work, but was rewarded with a bricked phone and joy of an oden back up.
Photos wont send in text message. Shows "Queued for Sending" then errors out eventual
Hello!
So not sure what is going on with my C6802. I live in the USA and use it with ATT.
First I was not getting any mobile data signal at all with the default internet settings that download with this Stock Sony Rom (LP 270).
This used to work before but not any more. So I was able to get mobile data by using some old APN settings that show wap.cingular in the settings. That even let me send some test photos but once again it is not sending the photos any more even though I do have mobile data.
My Wife's Note 4 has no issue.
I am almost thinking on selling it and getting the LTE version but not sure if its something with ATT and our phones specifically.
Anyone experiencing the same?
