There are several other threads on using this phone on T-Mobile in this forum. I suggest you search around for help.
The issue is that the MMS APN is wrong. There's no way in the stock VZW ROM to change it, though. You have to load a custom ROM to do it.
i give up
You need to change the APN to T-Mobile 's setting

[Q] Can't Make or Receive Calls on AT&T Galaxy Mega i527 after UNLOCKING

Hi all, I am at my wits end with this.
I have an unlocked, rooted Galaxy Mega i527. Everything works fine . I have 4G LTE data on both Tmobile and AT&T sim but i cannot make or receive calls via the native phone dialer.
The only way i use the phone now is with a 3rd party voip/google voice app. Calling via google voice directly without the 3rd party app does not work.
I do not know what is wrong and i will really appreciate any help that you guys can render.
Merry Xmas
I have also re-flashed the stock rom found on this thread via Odin:

UPDATE:
I can now make and receive calls by forcing the phone to 2G ONLY.
I am still waiting for anyone who can help me to get the phone calling out and receiving calls over 4G LTE. ...

[Q] Need Help - Lost 4g signal

For the past 3-4 days, I havent had 4g. Not sure if it's related but I first noticed it within 24 hourss after taking my phone apart to clean the proximity sensor (I use wifi at home so 4g isnt on). When I turn wifi off it takes anywhere from 30 sec to 3-4 minutes to connect to data, and its a 3g connection. When it does show a 4g connection, I cant actually connect to the intenet.
I've tried everything I can think of. Started with toggling airplane mode on/off. Made sure the settings were correct under mobile data options.
I was running slim 3.6 with KT's kernel, but I've tried other roms w/ stock kernel. I odin'ed back to stock & unroot. I went into verizon and had the sim card replaced. nothing has worked.
Any ideas? I've since taken my phone apart again, dont see any noticable damage. is it possible I did some damage when I took it apart the first time?
wifi/3g/phone all work, just no LTE. My wife also has a stocked/unrooted s4 and her's is working fine.
Thanks
Dan
Are you able to make phone calls?
Edit: Are you on stock tw right now? The reason I ask is I've had AOSP roms default my CDMA subscription to NV. Which should be on RUIM / SIM.

Just curious but are you on the correct APN setting>> LTE- Verizon Internet?
Edit: I know you said you had Verizon replace your sim card but they can screw up sometimes. Since your wife has the same phone I would swap sims and test both devices. If her sim gets 4g in your phone then your sim is no good. Just a suggestion.

Under settings - more - mobile networks, option for access point names is grayed out.

Flashed TW, first time i went into apn settings the only option was the vzn lte and it wasn't selected. After selecting it i rebooted but still no luck. When LTE is showing in status bar i have no Internet connection. Flashed back to aosp and no different.
Appreciate the help from both of you

Yep, try a Sim, free if you go into a vzw store. Mine just started only getting 3g one day, new Sim fixed it. By chance did you *228 on the aosp, I know this will nuke the Sim.

No on *228, maybe I'll try a new sim card again.
I don't know anything about APN, if Verizon wasn't selected would that affect anything when they replaced the sim card yesterday?

Anything is possible. You would think they would have checked your APN. Were you on AOSP when they put a new SIM in?
Also from what you've posted, your CDMA sounds like its working fine. Just need to fix your LTE, which is were it boils down to your SIM.
Edit: You are on CDMA/LTE/EVDO in mobile network settings right?

I was stock TW rooted when i went into vz.
Yeah, those are the settings I'm on
Edit - they didn't check the apn settings before replacing the sim card, if that matters

This will narrow down whats going on and its easy. download this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.htsoft.sqleditor
Open app, grant root privilege, under apps, find settings storage, then settings.db, then global. Now look for preferred_network_mode should be set at 10 , mobile_data should be set at 1.
If those values are different change them , save, then reboot.

Preferred network mode was @ 8, changing to 10 didn't work so far, I'll play around with it though

When you changed it did you save and reboot ?
Edit: 8 is CDMA/LTE/EVDO and 10 is Global so your settings look normal .
