How can I change my mms settings. when I open messages and the click settings then click connection settings it shows the settings but will not let me edit them can anyone help with this thank you
I belive there is a way to edit these settings via cdma workshop but i dont know too much about that
I cant get the phone to connect to the work shop
Does anybody know if they have rooted this phone yet I read the forum about it it does seem like they have yet
Root is a work in progress.
What are you messing with your settings for? if your having issues just run *288 and let it do it. if that doesnt work use the RUU Update, and then reprogram your phone and use *288
I cant I have the Eris running on Cricket I have the phone, internet, text and the market running great but would like to have mms
How did you get it running on cricket? Didnt you have to flash stuff for that work, if so please post me links asap. It will inevideably lead to root.

no, as above, edit security settings in epst
uhhh, yoo hooo! guys, the htc based android phones are dirt simple to program for use on another network..
I've had my eris running full on alltel over two months now with the unl. data plan. Never looses 3G, alltels 3G coverage is wicked sweet.
Getting Voice & SMS working:
Get current .PRL file for your network(alltel, sprint, vzw, cricket, etc..), google for it. Mount your phone thru USB, drag the PRL to the root of the SD card.
Unmount
Dial##PRL
Enter SPC code
Select PRL from SD
Restart Phone
Activate phone with your carrier, lie about what phone it is, i told alltel i'm a Samsung Delve, a phone they have.
They'll tell you to *228 it, this will work perfectly after you've programmed the PRL described above.
Hang up with them.
Getting data to work:
Dial ##PST send.
Enter SPC code
Go to security...
Google for those settings for your carrier and enter all that is asked for in that menu screen.
Do nothing else, restart the phone.
Now, setting up MMS on the Eris is a pain, I still can't get it.
When going to Messages, Settings, Connection settings, ... i am not allowed to edit those settings, they're stuck at vzw values.
IF .. and ONLY if I install the "quick settings" app in the market, disable mobile network, THEN go to messages, connection settings, .. i can now edit those values and change them to alltel's mms addresses... go home, them go back into messages, connection settings, all is saved, good. If I go and re-enable mobile network, ... the mms connection settings switch back to vzw... GAHH!!!

It's probably just allowing you to input settings but unable to save them due to lack of permissions. Looks like MMS is screwed until root gets here :\
how do you get web working on crickets network ive change the settings from the security but still no luck.
I bought my phone from Orange UK and unlocked the phone as I wanted to use my T mobile sim card. However I can't send or receive picture messages as I guess the phone is still using the wrong settings.
I have tried the HTC app but this did not solve the problem. Does anyone have any ideas?
Have you activated your data settings?
I can browse the internet fine, is there another setting for mms anywhere?
You would need to go into HTC HUB and download an app called Connection Setup and that will fix and configure your APN settings
Atm you cannot enter the apn for mms.. By installing the Connection Setup it will configure it for you
Hello,
My network operator uses configuration message to let you use Mobile Data
so i sent a message to 250 with the word "set" as i always did on the Samsung Stock Rom
but with the CM10, I didn't receive anything
and in the message app on the samsung stock rom when i click the menu button, there was an option for managing Configuration Messages
but that's seems to be missing on CM10
{Q} Is CM10 able to use Configuration message somehow or what ?!
The point of the configuration messages is so that you can install the APN settings for the particular carrier you're on. CM10 will automatically install the APN settings for your carrier (unless you're on a ridiculously obscure carrier) so there's no need for the configuration messages.
Are you getting a data connection? If you are, a then all good. If not, check your APN settings and see what's happening there.

No, I don't get any connection without that configuration message
and Where is that APN settings ?!
Settings then more settings then mobile network then access point
Andrew have you seen where the default CM APN's don't cover a given carrier? I've been on a pretty obscure carrier with custom ROM and still been fine...

Iv never had problem with apns till I stuck a different Sim in a stock Rom.
i have the newest settings in my phone from at&t. i can text but cannot send mms. i have searched everywhere and was wondering if anyone else has a fix for this, or maybe a website/forum that i could go to? its getting very frustrating. ... TIA
what sort of settings did att suggest? i have a chineese tablet that i am trying to get on a data network.
try this site. http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB424489&cv=820&_requestid=1224001#fbid=S-7gGeqI6uy. i had a problem with setting up my data, too. i had the right settings, but i was missing the service center number. the china phones have no settings, so you have to enter everything. the number goes under settings in the messaging app. i think the service center number is based on where you live. hope that helps.

how did you solve the issue of the different frequencies and protocols?
First off let me start by saying that you will need root access on your phone which will void your warranty. So if you care about your warranty stop reading now.
Secondly I'll tell you right now this is only confirmed to work on this model of phone(sch-i545) with build LRX22C.I545VRUOF1 on AT&T. You will only have H+/4G signal NO LTE. H+/4G seems to have virtually unnoticeable speed differences in my opinion. If this is a deal breaker stop reading now. If you wish to try this on other networks feel free and let me know if it works. Now on with the show.
Step 1.
Gain root access on your phone. If you need to know how please check out this link. This is the method I used to root mine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/root-of1-t3249971
Step 2.
Enable "hidden menu" feature on your phone.
To do this you will need to download Root Browser and superSU from the play store.
Once both are installed and set up use root browser(a window will pop up asking for you to grant it root access. Select yes or "grant") to access files.
Find and open file named efs. Inside that file open another called carrier.
Inside the carrier folder is a file called HiddenMenu
Open this file as a text Document using RB Text Editor
Once open it will say OFF. Change it to ON and then click save.
Next go back and find a folder called system.
Inside this folder scroll down and find a file called build.prop
Open this with RB Text Editor.
And the following text to the top of this page: sys.hiddenmenu.enable=1
Click save and close all apps and reboot phone.
Step 3.
Once phone has rebooted open your phone dialer and enter *#27663368378#
A service mode window will open up.
Click on LTE
Then click on PREF MODE Set
Then click on GSM_WCDMA_ONLY
Close and reboot phone.
Once your phone loads back up you should have H+/4G (depends on your area) and you should be able to send and receive text messages, make and receive calls.
You will need to set up an APN for AT&T if you didn't already after you rooted your phone. Settings for those can be found on AT&T'S website.
After you reboot a window will pop up asking you to chose a network. Click cancel.
Like I said in the beginning if you want to try this with other carriers feel free to let us know how it works for you. If you have any issues with this method or have questions feel free to ask. Good luck and I hope you are pleased with my method.
Thanks for the info there another way of doing this. Which does not involve coding. It requires rooting, and loading a custom rom. If you root your phone using your methods then use flash fire to down load stang5litre version of lolipop. Afterwards you can go to the play store and download advanced signal status app. You can use this to toggle between gsm and lte and other networks. select gsm and you will be able to text but you will not have 4g lte . I got it to allow my s4 to send texts on t mobile. at&t also uses gsm so it should work on at&ts network also.

I had that same problem but that was with samsung default rom and rooted. After rooting it i was able to load one of stang5litre's custom roms. THis allowed me to acess that portion using the signal status app. His custom rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/development/stang5litre-ediition-5-0-t3132555

Yeah I downloaded that one. Not sure why the app didn't work for me. How long ago did you do this method? Is it possible something has been updated since you did it?
I can get text messaging working now but have one other issue. I cannot change the default voicemail setting so that the phone doesn't try to dial *86.
I have two S4's, one on 4.3, and one on 5.0.1. On the 4.3 phone, I can edit the number the phone dials for voicemail no problem, and have full working voicemail with T-mo. But on the 5.0.1, I try to edit this, it allows me to change it, but after clicking OK to the prompt that the change was accepted, it goes back to *86.
The 5.0.1 phone also does not show any notification when a voicemail is left, the 4.3 phone does...
EDIT: HOLY CRAP NEVERMIND, changing the default network preference using your method also fixed the voicemail issue and now I can change the voicemail preference... WTF LOL... I've been working on this for HOURS trying to get this fixed. Why would changing the network type allow you to change the stupid voicemail setting??!

So you followed my method and everything worked for you? The dialer code for the hidden menu and everything?
I did all the steps and worked fine I'm using a Movistar carrier it's GSM I belive used the 2 bands speaking of LTE and got h+ working already but no signs of 4G so I belive need to test speed to see if I notice any diference
H+ is 4G bascially. I did a speed test on mine and it's right around the same speed. I'm glad to hear my method was helpful for someone. I hadn't received and confirmation from anyone that it worked.
Does anyone know how to get around the mms compression limitation? I can only send smaller mms files not larger on verizon phones through att network.

I thought I saw something in either the build prop file or the csc features file. I can take a look in a bit for you.

Alternatively, you can download and install "phoneinfo" by vndnguyen from the PlayStore. Since your phone is already rooted, you can use the "Secret Codes" menu to display all the secret codes and access the menu that was referenced from dialing *#27663368378#. (Just another way to display the hidden menu if you don't feel comfortable editing the system files.)
APN settings for Tracfone as of 4/22/2020
For those who love their SCH-I545s and don't feel like switching phones just because Verizon killed off their CDMA, you may (depending on coverage) be able to use the phone with TracFone /AT&T (AT&T-compatible SIM), until early 2022, when AT&T plans to kill their UMTS/HSPA. I have done this, and after working through the SNAFUs with TracFone, my SCH-I545 is fully working. Voice, Data, SMS, MMS are all there, just a little slower than 4G/LTE, but quite tolerable in my area. I have a Sony Experia XZ2 Compact, and it gets 4G/LTE (with same SIM/APN settings), but I am mothballing it and sticking with my SG4, for now.
*After* you put the AT&T SIM in (not sure if I activated it first), you can add a new APN with the following settings:
NAME: TRACFONE
APN: RESELLER
AUTH_TYPE: None
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS PROXY: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS PORT: 80
MMS_APN_TYPE: default,mms,supl
-------------------------------------------------
MVNO TYPE: GID
MVNO VALUE: deff
