No MMS on MetroPCS - E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm running CM 12.1 on a Moto E 2015 [Otus] and I'm having trouble getting MMS/data to work. Calls/text are fine, it's just data. I've contacted MetroPCS support and have tried different APNs they suggested, but am unable to start data on my device.
Is anyone aware of data issues with MetroPCS or how to diagnose the issue further?

Are there any logs I should post to help push this thread along? I can collect some if anyone wants to take a look. Just need to know what to collect.

[Q] ROM solution to WiFi issue?

Hi folks
As mentioned in a thread I posted a couple of weeks back (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1207476), Samsung have very annoyingly blocked WiFi channels 12 & 13 on US-originated Tab 10.1s with their latest TouchWiz UX update.
I've got a Tab that I had been using quite happily on chan 13 (minimal interference from neighbouring WiFi APs), but after the updated it wouldn't connect at all, yet could see other networks. Moving the AP channel down <12 solved it, but this only works for my home AP that I have control over. The one at work is on either 12 or 13 and therefore now isn't visible.
The guys at PC Pro have tried their UK-purchased Tab 10.1 and it's working fine, so it seems to be just with the US ones that Samsung have blocked this.
I've logged a support request about it but don't hold out any great hope of them fixing it.
I was therefore wondering if anyone could think of a good way to re-enable this. Do the Tabs had a modem/radio type bin that could be flashed along the lines of the SGS II? If so would this do the trick or are chans 12/13 being blocked elsewhere?
Thanks for any suggestions - as you can see at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223978 I'm not the only one who has run into this problem!
(PS - have already tried a full factory reset before anyone suggests it )
What about flashing a Euro rom, would that then enable the extra channels?
That's the kind of thing I was wondering about, but wasn't sure if it would work or not.
My model number is GT-P7510UWYB and it's 16GB WiFi only model.
Do you think it would just be a case of getting hold of the stock August update for a UK device (and if so, any links? ) and installing it via Download mode/Odin or would it object to that saying it's not a valid ROM for that model?
I don't know I.f there's a newer rom than those shown on the samfirmware site, someone with more knowledge than me may point you in the right direction.

Making sch-I545 fully work on AT&T network

I recently took my GS4 to AT&T to get service. It is unlocked and I have it rooted. Everything works fine on it except text messages fail to send. I can receive text messages and picture messages, browse the internet, make and receive calls. Dialer codes do not work on this phone as I'm sure lots of you know already. I have scoured the internet but have not found any answers that work. I'll list my specs of my phone so you all know what kind of build I have. Could me issue be in the imsprofile.xml file that is in the csc folder within the system folder?

I'm hoping someone has come up with a fix for this before. Also does anyone know if it's possible to make it stop displaying the red verizon screen when it loads up.
Thanks for any input.
I believe the bands are different, which means you will only recieve some services.
As for the boot screen, you will have to get root(I'm pretty sure OF1 now has root), get SuperSU and Flashfire, and flash Stang5Litre's ROM. It's a modified ROM that has a host of improvements, and also gets rid of that red verizon screen upon bootup.
Well I got it to fully work on the AT&T network. I had to access some hidden menus with a dialer code and ws able to change some things to make it work. I'll create a new thread explaining how.
Help me pls

Can you tell me where this new thread is? I also have this phone and i am on t mobile but they both use gsm. I am also having this text message problem and also I cant seem to use my mobile hot spot. I have read on line that it has something to do with the messaging centre number but since it is a verizon phone and they use cdma it does not have one on lolipop. I was wondering what you did to get it to work

I'm at work currently and haven't been able to make the new thread yet. Will be doing it tonight when I get home. I can give you a heads up by saying you will need to root your phone in order to do it if you are not already rooted.

Duo Mobile (multi factor authentication) issue

Hi, sorry if I am posting in the wrong place.
I have the OnePlus 2, recently installed the latest build of Resurrection Remix after the update of Oxygen OS 3.5.5. I did a full wipe, data partition included.
There is one app that doesn't work right anymore and I can't tell if it is because of the update to Nougat or if there is an issue in how it works with the rom.
The app name is Duo Mobile, support Android 4.0 and up. I am not able to add the different services by scanning QR code or links by SMS. This was working fine on Oxygen 3.0.2.
The official answer from Duo support is that they can't guarantee support for custom roms.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone having the same issues with this app?
Any logs I could gather to troubleshoot?
Without the proper troubleshooting done on your part there is little anyone will be able to tell you. Spend a few days and read up on log cats and other troubleshooting basics. Mainly when asking questions in a developers forum.

Noob: US Cellular Samsung Mega unable to add APN - option not available

I have a US Cellular Samsung Mega unable to add APN - option simply is not available in the stock OS. Is there an aftermarket OS that will enable me to add an APN for FreedomPop use? I have successfully rooted the unit and believe I have correctly installed CM-11-20141113 crater. It didn't seem to accomplish what I need so I've stopped before I brick the unit thinking it's best to ask someone of greater knowledge.
Any help you can pass along is greatly appreciated.

It works for me
Added S9/S9+ and TEST version of N9. If you try the N9 please let me know if it works well. I don't have N9 to test...
I am using the TMO detonator on a Samsung S950FD and it works well (WIFI calling, VoLTE both working), including on a T-Mobile MVNO. I am wondering though if there could be a similar detonator prepared that would be for CSC XAA (which is the US market generic unlocked CSC). Using XAA would allow the same functions to work without having to reflash the phone each time the operator is changed. What do you think?

Is this as simple as restoring a rom backup and possibly also restoring EFS or is there something more to this that I should research?

Hi, since you know more about this phone I have a quick question
I got G955N and I'm running on this ROM
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...--s8-cross-device-development/thread-t3822134
which is pie based, and I'm going to switch with Verizon in future so I installed
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ility-flashable-csc-selection-v1-1-0-t3636739
last CSCSelection_SM-G95XF_V2.0.0_O_Final.zip which I believe is for Oreo base
it went fine, but after that my phone is mad laggy and I'm keep getting IMS service isn't working. is there any way I can add those CSC for USA base networks manually so it can work with Verizon and others USA base network?

ATT_pie_detonator_bigTINY_G95X_N950.zip for AT&T
TMB_pie_detonator_bigTINY_G95X_N950.zip for T Mobile
T-Mobile detonator works perfectly and I love that you kept it minimal to only get all the needed features working.
I'd appreciate a T-Mobile bootlogo removal though tbh
Sorry, I have done quite a few searches, but haven't found any clear instructions on how to install these files. I have a N950F, but use it on ATT, and would like to get wifi calling working. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm new to this. I also am unclear on how to install.
G950F, TWRP 3.4.0 and Magisk 20.4 running. Using Tmobile.
Is this something I have to flash via TWRP or via Odin? And how do I tell which Tmobile file to flash?
I went ahead and just tried to install it the best I knew how.
Phone: SM-G950F Firmware: G950FXXSBDTJ1 Security Patch: October 1, 2020
Carrier T-mobile USA.
I used TWRP 3.4.0 to flash “TMB_pie_detonator_bigTINY_G95X_N950.zip”.
In "Settings>Software Information>Service provider SW ver."
initial CSC was XEU/XEU/OPS.
post detonator it is TMB/TMB/OPS.
I note VoLTE and Wifi Calling options are now present in the drop down menu.
I note HD+ icon during calls now.
I note the 'signal strength' icon on the top now says 4G LTE instead of just 4G.
I'm experiencing poor signal strength and was hoping flashing detonator and getting CSC 'right' for TMO network would help. It has not. Still low download (~5Mbps) and very poor upload (~0.1-0.05Mbps).
My home/neighborhood has lackluster 4g coverage, one of few spots. The TMO-Sprint merger is partly to blame - they're transitioning sprint towers to TMO/making infrastructure changes due to merger. I'm informed things should improve in coming months.
I have yet to test whether everything works 'right'. So far it looks okay, but i'm setting up the G950F as opposed to using it, and instead to give up trying to make the G950F work as I need it to on Tmobile and go for a Pixel 4a 5G on Google Fi and hope that the difference in phone, and the 5g, and ability to switch between networks will meet my needs.
As another poster noted, the tmobile startup splash screen is annoying. I imagine one could hunt for which file to remove from the detonator and repackage it.
That said, thanks to the developers for this tool. It allowed me to answer whether or not optimizing the G950F for the Tmobile USA network would improve signal strength. As such I no longer have to wonder if there was a way to make the G950F work for me and perhaps in the future, when coverage improves, I might find the G950F works quite well and I can give it to a family member.
Does anyone happen to have the files and can reupload? This may be one of the last ways of obtaining t-mobile functionality for the international S8.
I am specifically looking for " TMB_pie_detonator_bigTINY_G95X_N950.zip "
The mega download link must have recently died... (or it just doesn't work for me?)
@LastQuestion any chance you still have it since you posted fairly recently and seemed to have success?
I need these files too
@Puremin0rez were you able to get them?
