[Q] unlocked att htc m8 cannot send/receive mms - AT&T HTC One (M8)

I sim unlocked my htc m8 and am now using a tmobile sim card. 4G network, calls, sms everything works just fine. However, i am not able to send/receive mms. I called t-mobile for help, and they told me to change my apn setting, which i did. And that only fixed my problem with 4g data(i initially had problem with both 4g data and mms) No matter what i try for apn setting, MMS won't send.
My current apn setting is: apn:fast.t-mobile.com
mmsc: mms,msg,eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
mms protocal: wap2.0
mcc:310
ncm:260
apn type: default,supl,admin,dun,mms
everything else is not set. I really don't understand why would mms not work if both 4g data and individual sms works.
Anyone have an idea?

Did you figure out how to fix the mms yet?

I have had the same issue. 4gLTE works just fine. I have ATT visual voicemail working. I just cant seem to get over the MMS issue.
I switched the hangouts today and that works just fine for sending and recieving MMS. What's weird is it also records what is being sent and recived into my HTC Messages app as well. However, when I disable hangouts and try to send MMS direct from HTC messages, no luck?

For AT&T HTC M8 Unlocked "T-Mobile User's" Only!
For those that might not have figured it out yet: Backup your current telephony.db file and Replace it.. Unzip and Copy the file attached to: data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases with ES File Manager (Any Root Browser Should Work) then Reboot and wait till you get Data, make sure you can browse the interweb and test sending a photo to yourself!
This was achieved on my Stock Rooted AT&T Unlocked HTC M8 on T-Mobile!
Backing up stuff is always Good! Recovery and a Good Root File Manager are your friends!

Try installing SQLite Editor, Navigate and find that same file in the directory I lead you to in my first post, click on the file, there you should see a bunch of APNs/Setting.. Delete them All! They might have to be deleted one by one.. Go back into your APN Settings on your phone and add the T-Mobile APNs and you should be good to go after a reboot! I don't have the M8 anymore but, I'll try helping as much as possible!

I have Tmobile service also, does LTE work on the ATT M8 with tmobile sim?
Does it have all the bands to run without any problems?

Are you rooted? Because you need to be to view or modify those files.
Also, in ES File Manager settings, you need to toggle "Root Explorer" to ON. Although, even with it OFF I believe you should still be able to view the files (just can't modify them). So I think your main problem is no root.

Well, I finally fixed my problem with not being able to send or receive MMS.
I have a AT&T M8 that recently switched over to T-Mobile. I decided to root, s-off, and changed over the developer edition ROM. I was even able to get OTA update after it was done.
I am ecstatic and exhausted after the process but seeing that I was able to get ride of that annoy AT&T boot up music was all worth it. :good::victory:
Now my follow up question is this. I now have a rooted phone with S-off. Should I worry more about security in the future? I typically only download from the Play store but I believe that there are a lot of junk out there as well. Should I lock my bootloader since I won't be doing anything like this the future?
All feedbacks are appreciated.

Extremely Curious to know how you solved the problem!
Hi,
I have an unlocked ATT M8 as you do. I'm in canada trying to get the darn mms working on the rogers canada network. No luck. Ive pondered de branding my phone and loading a WWE version on the cell, but I dont entirely know what I'm doing with that. Would you mind providing some direction, even if pointing me to relevant online posts that you used to learn how to do it correctly?
Appreciate any support.
Cole
PS. CONGRATS on getting mms running!

That person stated how they solved it. He flashed the Dev Ed ROM, which I believe natively supports both the AT&T and T-Mobile network. But this won't help you (Rogers).
Did you try the proper Rogers APN and still having MMS issues?

Thanks for the response. I have tried all the rogers apn settings, had a friend with an actual rogers m8 screen shot the settings with no success. Attempted adding mms specific apn settings as recommended by tier 2 rogers support. Again, no luck.
At this point I believe my only options are to try CM or see if there is a ruu toolkit that will work for rogers. To be honest, aside from one click root, im out of my depth.

I'd still keep trying with the APNs. Make sure with the carrier which APN is associated with your account, as there may be several. AT&T for instance has some 3 or 4 different APNs.
Rogers doesn't have any RUUs for this phone, as far as I am aware I don't see how CM will help, unless the ROM specifically supports Rogers and will have the proper Rogers APN pre-configured (or other things like build.prop). You may have better luck trying to find the stock Rogers ROM, or have another member here upload it for you.

HTC Amaze APN Settings Locked on Wind Mobile and MMS functioning intermittently

Hi all,
couldn't find a Wind network specific forum, so I'm posting here...
I've now had two phones on Wind and on both, MMS is not a simple, straightforward functioning option.
Nexus one: gave up in frustration trying to get mms working after tinkering with all suggested settings.
Now I own an HTC amaze...mms works periodically. People sometimes receive my texts (and sometimes only twelve hours later even when sitting right in front of me and on Wind or any other carrier network) and sometimes they don't. Why is it so difficult to get MMS working smoothly on Wind?
I just tried to change the APN settings and...they're locked. Any ideas how to unlock them?
Also, I'd appreciate settings that others have found that works on their Amaze (not sure if settings get different results on different phones...i imagine they wouldn't, but from hearing how some of you have it working perfectly...i wonder)?
Thanks.

just one apn for both mms and internet?
I have had issues with my previous, unlocked T mobile phone on Wind, however, my new Amaze on Wind seems to be fine, as far as I know anyway.
Does locked APN's have anything to do with SIM lock?
Once I can get my SIM unlock code from Wind will my APN"s also come unlocked at the same time?
Thanks very much

[Q] T-Mobile Vibrant, Straight Talk, MMS

Does ANYONE have T-Mobile Vibrant with working MMS on Straight Talk? I've tried dozens of APN combinations, and to no avail. My 3g works, but MMS won't send, and won't receive. I've been trying for two weeks now. I take that back, I've been able to receive ONE mms message. One.

Make sure you have data enabled whenever you receive one.
Data has been enabled with every APN. I've also rebooted after I switch APNs, and then verified that they remained after the phone starts back up. Any form of troubleshooting regarding every basic setting has been attempted.

In other words, nothing I've tried has worked. so basically short of another t-mobile vibrant user, using straight talk with working MMS, telling me their settings, I'm basically out of options.

so i have just switched over to straight talk and i also have a samsung vibrant from tmo, on froyo. how did you get your data working? ive tried teakker, etc. and nothing has worked for me. i really dont want to root my phone but im thinking thats another option so that i can change the apn options somehow and use what the other straight talk tmo users are using (which is not what they give you on the activation card)
feel so helpless
I have been thinking of going to straight talk, couple questions
1. Do you have to request a tmo sim card from straight talk?
2. Do you need to be unlocked?
3. Do they charge activation?
I didn't mean to "hijack" ur thread but I figured you guys could answer this. Thanks

Delete stock APN on HTC One M7 (AT&T)
Hello everyone.
Introduction. I have unlocked HTC One M7 (AT&T) with stock Jelly Bean 4.3 ROM + AT&T sim card with 3G data service (Not 4G/LTE).
As I have sim card specifically with 3G data it works only with APN settings on phones - wap.cingular. It doesn't work with others APN settings such as "phone" for LTE data service.
HTC One M7 AT&T version has pre-setted APN settings for LTE data service (APN: "phone").
Problem is when I try to enter new APN (wap.cingular) it says "This APN is not allowed on this device".
I rooted this phone and tried to find /system/etc/apns-conf.XML file as for One X but apns-conf.xml file doesn't exist in One M7, I searched entire root content on it. There other .xml files with wifi settings etc. Also tried to find similar files on other folders but with no luck.
Anybody knows what file on M7 contains this settings or how to remove restrictions for setting wap.cingular APN?
Thanks

A T-mobile phone won't work on the ATT network even with the APN settings. The radio in the Tmo phone works on a different frequency.
And which was that for ?.. does this also maybe apply to the m8 and or m9 because the restrictions some are on them as well... GSM models are different though tmobile far as I know can be lifted if u get unlock code for them , I called tmobile and they told me and if I keep there service for at least 6 months they would provide me the unlock keys ?.. what!?. I was like this is ridiculous because I thought htc would provide the keys for this matter?....

[Q] Tips on using a G900T on AT&T

I finally got sick of having a locked bootloader, so I bought an unlocked Tmobile running nk2, rooted it, and cleaned up the bloatware with Titanium Backup. Now I'm looking at putting together a list of tips for using a G900T on AT&T. I've created the appropriate APN settings. If anyone with experience on this could weigh in with some things I should look out for or do proactively, it would be useful not only to me but to other AT&T users looking to get away from the AT&T locked bootloader. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Working APN settings
Here are the APN settings that are working great for me on AT&T. To set these, go to SETTINGS / MORE NETWORKS / MOBILE NETWORKS/ ACCESS POINT NAMES. Either create a new one using the "+" or edit the one you are using already.
NAME: smartphone
APN: phone
PROXY: not set
PORT: not set
USERNAME: not set
PASSWORD: not set
SERVER: not set
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE PROXY: proxy.mobile.att.net
MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE PORT: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
AUTHENTICATION TYPE: not set
APN TYPE: default,mms,supl
APN PROTOCOL: IPv4
APN ROAMING PROTOCOL: IPv4
TURN APN ON/OFF: APN turned on
BEARER: unspecified
MOBILE VIRTUAL NETWORK OPERATOR TYPE: none
MOBILE VIRTUAL NETWORK OPERATOR VALUE: not set
The two items TURN APN ON/OFF: APN turned on and MOBILE VIRTUAL NETWORK OPERATOR VALUE: not set are ghosted out so I was unable to change them. In APN TYPE you should enter the information without any spaces after the commas.
How to root if your Tmobile s5 is already updated to nk2 or nh5
I used the instructions found here and it was super effective:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-s5-firmware-knox-0x0-t2909352
Note: if you're not familiar with PC Odin, it will be good news to you that you don't have to install it. Just unzip it into a directory with the INI file and run it.
Good Post! I could have used this four months ago when I jumped to AT&T from T-Mo. I have not had any problems. The only thing I can think of is that I disabled wifi calling. I have had good success running international ROMs on it. I'm currently on BobCat Romhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-bobcatromevov1-0ota-update-t2836665 ...Excellent...
I'm running Omega on my TMO S5 on AT&T. My APN is a little different but I've also tried the one posted above and get about the same results with either. The only other thing I did was download AT&T's Visual Voice Mail app. It's a great way to handle voicemail messages.
+1121611611 Error 122 Invalid Number
This is a problem that pops up for those of us who have started using a Tmobile s5 on AT&T--you start getting repeated texts that say "+1121611611 Error 122 Invalid Number". The problem appears to be brought about when you use a phone from one carrier on another carrier.
I found a fix for this at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/help/error-invalid-text-reboot-t2865399
Short version: turn off/disable the visual voicemail app.
Here is the relevant text from that page:
PROBLEM: I recently switched from T-Mobile to AT&T, bringing over my unlocked T-Mobile Galaxy S4 (not rooted, running stock android, got the SIM unlock code from T-Mobile). After fiddling with the APN settings everything seems to be working fine, except every time I reboot I get the following text message:
From: +1121611611
122 Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code. Activate:dt=15
Any ideas? I first saw this error text the first time I rebooted my phone after switching the SIM card to AT&T, and I get the same text whenever I reboot my phone now.
SOLVED: This was being caused by the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app. Disabling the app fixed the problem.
Sticky this maybe?
Mods, do you think this is worth getting "sticky" status?

I've been my old AT&T SIM carrier on a new TMob S5 for about two weeks -- It's rooted and has Custom Recovery. I froze about 100 Bloats w/ Titanium Backup - installed Wanam to tweak it - and am getting an amazing +/- 0.5%/Hr battery usage on Stock 4.4.2!!! (No gaming or social networking, etc) So, I'm VERY pleased and also chose this route to get away from AT&T's bootloader lock policy.
Only one question: I notice an image of a fliptop phone on my AT&T account page. It used to show a pic of my S3. Is there some file I can edit on the phone to get it to show up as an S5 ? Maybe the build.prop or something?

My AT&T profile also shows a random flip type phone. It must simply be a result of using a non-AT&T phone. I haven't bothered trying to change it.
I'd LOVE to be able to put a caption on the AT&T site with a pic of the S5, something like "TMobile - S5 - Unlocked Bootloader"
(I've got a somewhat sick sense of humor)

I am currently running a V30+ on Sprint's network using the latest Resurrection Remix build. No matter what I do, I cannot manage to get LTE working. Sprint's LTE Internet APN selected and for network typed, I have CDMA + LTE/EvDo. I tried selecting only LTE, but I would not get any service even after reboots.
I've also tried the following steps:
1.) Flash AOSP ROM and make a backup
2.) Go back to Sprint Stock Rom
3.) Go through the setup process and wait until phone is connected and LTE is working.
4.) Restore AOSP backup
And still no LTE. What else can I do? Flash modem or would I have to edit build.prop?
Yes, it's very possible. I've gotten it working on the Aosip unofficial before. What made the LTE work for me was replacing the rom's modem with Sprint's official modem for the V30.

I will try that right now!
EDIT: It did not work. When I switch to LTE under network mode it gets stuck on searching for service.

You have to enter your carrier's APN settings manually.

I actually couldn't get lte as well until I tried the latest versions of lineage and now I'm on dotos. Just changed the apn settings and everything is working great. Took a few minutes after initial install was only getting 3g but after a couple of messages and a phone call lte started to work.

Question, did you flash Lineage and waited until you got LTE and then dirty flashed DotOS? Or did you do a clean install of DotOS?
Also, what do you have selected as Preferred Network Type?
EDIT: Ignore those questions, all is working perfectly fine! Thank you so much, just had to edit the APN's. I believe I was using old ones and that's why I wasn't getting LTE! Thank you so much!

I would have tested but I switched back to stock as the vibration bugged bothered me.

Delete the MMS proxy and port from APN. It should show "not set" for MMS port and proxies after. Also change network from "global" to "CDMA/LTE evdo". Hope this helps
Edit: Look a few post above yours the APN should look exactly like that

Ah yeah it was the mms proxy and port causing an issue; removed those and was able to send an mms just fine, thanks!
So do you have to flash the Sprint modem or will just editing the APN's do the trick?
I'm just looking for a rom with working LTE and wifi tethering working, any suggestions?

Depends on the ROM. Most AOSP you just have to edit APN's. Depending on the stock ROM, you will need to flash modem and then edit APN's.

Any specific rom you can recommend? Every AOSP rom I've tried doesn't let me add dun. I'm back on stock now have it working, but still not as good as when I was on my pixel. For example, Netflix won't work on my TV and it won't let me chromecast it from my phone. Which kinda sucks. YouTube casts fine. I've kinda accepted it, but it would be nice to have it working.

I have never used dun or any casting tools/software. I'm currently running the EXTENDED AOSP ROM. Running buttery smooth and with no problems.

I just flashed the latest LOS 16 build but I am unable to edit apn's Anyone got Sprint LTE working on LOS16?
I cant get any pie lineage based room to get LTE. Can't even edit APN's
If anyone can help with this I would appreciate it. There is some Sprint specific bits not included with our Los base that other devices LOS 16 have like the sprint.dm apk.
But at a minimum we should be able to set the proper apns

Same thing been happening to me recently, is this something up with Sprint's end? IDK I asked about this happening a month ago and no one really seemed to have answers on the lgv30 chat. I can get APN settings to show up by removing the SIM card. and editing them then but even then my settings don't stick across reboots. I can usually get messaging to work by calling myself but that also doesn't stick.
