I have tmobile when inserted the simcard in my z2 I've noticed that I'm not getting any internet connection so i went to Setting/wireless and networks/internet setting and downloaded all the files then I went to mobile netword and changed it to 4G Tmobile, starting that day I keep losing connection every time I have to go to mobile network and change it manually although it's set on automatic, most of teh times 4g doesn't work and I have to set it to 3g... it's really annoying
In your dial pad type in *#*#info#*#* (numbers for info)
Go to phone info
Scroll down
Select prefered network mode
Select LTE or an option for local with
Go back to your network settings and see if 4G shows up
If not change your mode back to what it was before and call tmobile because they may have to sort some issues out for you

go to your network settings, when tmobile USA shows up with 4G click it to register, once thats done, go back a menu and click on network mode and change it to LTE/HSPDA/GSM (or what ever bands are used in USA)
you should have data connection but 4G depends on how good Tmobile USA Coverage is
You may need to call TMo and ask them to do whatever they do in the backend to reset the phone to network connection. Another thing is to look at TMo support site for the correct APN settings. In my case, data was perfect but MMS would not work because the phone settings were incorrect. Basically, call TMo. They will even email you the settings.
One last thing. Try airplane mode off then on and see it that helps.

One thing I would do, is to call T-Mobile and register the IMEI so they can provision the unit. The settings on their end may have something which is preventing it to connect to it based on a previous phone's capabilities.
-----------------
I had something similar similar but it was with AT&T. In my case, it would not connect to LTE at all as it would stick on HPSA. This was because I had a S3 (UK version), which was only capable of HSPA+, and I had registered the IMEI with them prior.
I had a lot of problems getting my Z2 to work on T-Mobile as well. I finally used the following settings to get everything to work.
Create 2 APNs, the first should have the Following Settings:
Name: T-Mobile
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy: 216.155.165.050
Port: 8080
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/
MMS proxy: 216.155.165.50
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: defaul,supl,admin,dun,mms
APN Protocol: IPv4
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4
Now create a second APN with the following settings:
Name: T-Mobile GPRS
APN: epc.tmobile.com
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Protocol: IPv4
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4
With both of those created, go to your list of APNs and make sure your first one (T-Mobile) is selected.
These settings fixed my problems, hope you get it worked out.

I had a similar issue, is that why my phone doesn't have signal with tmobile cause I have to register the IMEI?

It is likely, make sure the internet/mms settings are downloaded too.
Once the IMEI is registered, they will able to see what phone it is and enable the proper features which the phone is capable of.
I heard it's best to let them know as the IMEI as well because they could flag the unauthorized phones and reject it from being connected the carrier.

Hello guys,
From my previous experiments, these multi radio GSM phones just don't work as good as their GSM only variants. What is the situation for photon about this ?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Received a unit yesterday, I had ordered via eBay. Works perfectly on both 3G and HSDPA. No problems with either voice or data.
Since I haven't been able to activate the phone via Sprint:
1. It tries to connect to Sprint each time I boot it. I need to then make changes to network settings so that it can log on to the local GSM networks.
2. Each time I send a text message, it reminds me I might incur international roaming charges.
Rest is super.

Answer to game resolution there I believe Timmyja
I've done some searching and didn't happen to run across anyone that was having a similar problem. Originally, I thought this might be a StraightTalk/Verizon issue, but I've confirmed that one of my family members with ST T-Mobile can text with Verizon folks just fine. So let me dive into the details...
I've had my StraightTalk T-Mobile sim card for about a week now. I activated it without any problems, set up the APN and everything seemed to be working just fine. I've been texting with a few family members and some co-workers without issues. My data and voice calls are all working fine as well.
I went to text a friend that has Verizon post paid service and he never got my text. So I sent a few more without success, then tried to text my own Verizon number (since my account is still active for the moment) and I never received my own text either. He sent me a text message that I received just fine though, but again he didn't get my response. Just to further test, I send an MMS message to myself and my friend on Verizon and that came through just fine, so it appears that all texting capabilities work with the following carriers (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, ST T-Mobile) with the exception of regular SMS to Verizon.
Here are my APN settings:

About the phone... I purchased an AT&T Note (sgh-i717) and unlocked it myself. The unlock was successful but I was only getting edge data since T-Mobile has re-farmed the towers in my area yet. So, I installed CWM and flashed the Blaze4G radios. I'm now getting consistent signal and H+ speed (4-8 mbps avg, 14 mbps peak). The only other thing I had to change was that my phone number wasn't showing up in the About Phone -> Status section, so I went into the dialer -> Settings -> Additional Settings -> My Phone Number and set it there in the format of xxx-xxx-xxxx. I also just flashed the T-Mobile VKL1 radio as well but no change in my sms issue.
I'm a bit lost at this point on why everything else would work except for sending sms to Verizon but yet I can receive them from Verizon just fine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Texts aren't immediate when the network is busy. Sometimes the delay can be several hours.
None of my Verizon messages are ever delivered, some from 3-4 days ago. I called Straight Talk tech support and they are tracing some of my messages. One of the things they thing might be wrong is the message center number that is configured in my phone but they didn't want to change it until after they could do further research.
Update: Confirmed the smsc is correct, so that doesn't appear to be the issue.
Just a follow up in case anyone else ever had an issue similar... a T-Mobile technician called me today, they found out Verizon had blocked my cell phone number from their network. After the tech got the ban lifted, texting is working just fine.

Tap the desired APN profile you want to use. The bullet point fills with green next to the APN profile.
If that is the case, I would rather want to know if unlocked T-Mobile's LTE phone will work on Verizon network with an activated SIM. At least in the area where Verizon has band 4 LTE available like NYC. I hope it does so we can use the T-Mobile phones and forget about Verizon's bootloader crap.

Not sure if this is any clue on the SMS outgoing issue. I used catlog to test outgoing sms when on 4G LTE and when on H+/E.
4G LTE (doesn't work):
11-04 21:25:30.712 D/Mms/SmsSingleRecipientSender(2081): createMessages 5) CDMA phone number destination
H+/E (works):
11-04 21:15:12.734 D/Mms/SmsSingleRecipientSender(2081): createMessages 7) GSM phone number destination
seems like switching to

i tried that but it still fails to send. you were able to get it to work on t-mobile 4g lte?
the sms send fails instantly right when i press the send button. it doesn't seem like it try to think before it fails
It will send if you disable LTE. It seems that LTE on T-Mobile handles data only, while calls and SMS are on the GSM network. You'll need to have hidden menu's enabled or use the phone info app to disable LTE, depending on the ROM you're running. I've also noticed that When in LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL), LTE switches off when you place a call. I'm not very familiar with how a normal T-Mobile LTE phone behaves when calls are placed, so I'm sure if this should be expected.
I believe that I'm able to get AWS 3G in the Albany/Schenectady NY area, as well as LTE. I just wish that T worked in the rural areas like where I live to the north of Schenectady. I'm on an AOKP rom so it's a ***** to even get the operator name to show right, and no band information.

Well I'm all honesty, I think you should have just bought the tmobile version because that is the one that comes unlocked. As for your signal problem, have you tried asking tmobile on how to do it? Or maybe you can look up YouTube videos on how to do so

I heard that verizon g3 does work on tmobile and it works for everyone. AM not sure if i missed out on some steps.
It works. If it doesn't work the only thing I would say is to check if the imei is clean and not reported blacklisted.
If that's good, then toggle the gsm setting from utms/gsm/lte to global and see of that helps

Also in system select, I use LTE/GSM/UMTS mode.
Global mode works, but i cant send text messages through native app. So i use lte/gsm/umts mode so i can send texts.
I also downloaded the T-mobile visual voice app for visual voicemail
I have an unlocked US Cellular S6 Edge model G925R4. I have rooted it and currently running stock ROM (Settings image attached).
I am using TMobile SIM on it and I am getting cellular network and am able to make calls. However I am having serious issues with Mobile data.
Mobile data did not work by default, I installed APN changer app and added the following settings for Tmobile:
Name: T-MOBILE
APN: fast.tmobile.com

APN type: default,supl,mms
APN Protocol: Leave it to the Default one
Once I do this i see data network sparsely, most of the times it does not work. Multiple reboots did not make any difference.
To change the APN I am using "Change APN" app. I see the T-Mobile entries I have made on it sometimes but sometimes i do not (screenshot attached).
I saw on a similar post about correcting the permissions of few files in system/csc/ folder - namely customer.xml and features.xml. After doing this I saw the APN settings after reboot.
But they are gone after the next reboot. So I am not sure if the permission change made much difference.
I really like the phone but at this point it is unusable because of loss of Mobile data. Is there any way to improve the situation ? Be it a different kernel, ROM, modem or anything.
Also I have tried an AT&T sim on it with appropriate APN entries and mobile data did not work for it as well. So its not a problem pertaining to Tmobile network coverage.
Id love to hear suggestions from the community as I really would like to use this phone going forward.
I have the same phone. I was using it on cricket at first and now I am using it on T-mobile. The apn should stick even though it shows the unable to view access point name settings. Access is restricted.
The only problem I have is when it connects to 4glte it has no bars and I cannot send texts messages. If you go into the service mode just set it for gsm/wcdma
Here's screenshot of mine on tmobile
*also I think you are using a different kernel
Can you list the kernel you are using? I'm not sure of that might be the problem.

Thanks for the link, I flashed the kernel from the link and when i added the APN i could see both network and data working fine. Network bars were almost full, but sadly after a reboot i again see no network and loss of data connectivity. I am able to make calls though.
At this point all I have done is changed the APN (tried both epc and fast). Apart from that I havent tried anything else. Just bugs me to think that everything worked perfectly which indicates that there is no issue with the phone/kernel/ROM. But again at the end its not working .. any suggestions ?
For me I would have to go into the service menu because 4g lte would not work. So I would set it to GSM/wcdma and that's what worked for me. Internet was a little slower though
But after today
I honestly just got fed up with it and went and traded it in for the t mobile version. It's a hassle because 4g lte wasn't working and sometimes mms messages would not properly go thru.
When I was using it on cricket it worked better than t-mobile though.

I am leaning towards letting go of this phone as its too much hassle at the moment. Thing is I bought it off Ebay and at this point I am not really sure if the problem is with the phone or just the fact that I am using Tmobile SIM on a US Cellular phone. If I end up selling it I dont want someone else to suffer the same way.
Will a Tmobile specific variant be fine or will that cause similar issues ? I really like the phone but the mobile data part is really putting me off.
I too also got it off eBay the US cellular edition g925r4 and was in the same situation. I got mine for 400. But t mobile took it as a trade in for $140. A loss on my end but right now the s6 edge is $100 off so it was $579.99 minus the trade in credit I received. Also you get a year free of Netflix so that's not too bad...
The t mobile version I bought at the store works perfect mms, texting, WiFi calling it updated twice already so no issues here. Works perfect on 4g lte too
Hmm maybe I'll try swappa once before going with t-mobile. I don't want to get into contracts.
