Data roaming problem - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I’m having some problems with my girlfriend phone and I’d like to ask your opinion about it.
We both have a tariff with three UK which includes sms, calls and data roaming, and we both have a Samsung Galaxy S5: I bought it in Italy (it was new), while she bought hers here in UK and it was a second hand unlocked smartphone.
Now, the problem is that, despite her phone works nicely in UK, every time we go back to Italy her data roaming doesn’t work at all, while the phone calls and the sms work properly
(the option data roaming is of course enabled).
On the other hand, my phone works perfectly both in UK and in Italy, and we also tested her SIM card in my S5, and in that case data roaming works just fine.
Here a list of tests that we did:
My SIM in her phone -> no data roaming
Her SIM in my phone -> everything works fine
change the Network mode mode in all the possibile options -> CDMA, LTE/CDMA, GSM/UMTS, Automatic
Reconfiguration of the APN settings -> they are the same in both our phones, I report them below:
Name: 3
APN: threeDOTcoDOTuk
Proxy: Not set
Port: not set
Username: not set
Password: not set
Server: not set
MMSC: http : // mmsDOTumDOTthreeDOTcoDOTuk : 10021 / mmsc
MMS proxy: mmsDOTthreeDOTcoDOTuk
MMS port: mmsDOTthreeDOTcoDOTuk
MMS port: 8799
MCC: 234
MNC: 20
Authentication type: Not set
APN type: default,supl,mms
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
Enable/disable APN: APN enable
Bearer: Unspecified
Mobile virtual network operator type: None
Mobile virtual network operator value: Not set
The only “difference” (if we can call it so) is in Network mode option:
mine is “LTE/3G/2G (auto connect)”
her is “GSM/WCDMA/LTE (auto connect)”
but I don’t think it actually matters.
So, has any of you any idea of what else I can try to fix this annoying problem?
Rooting the phone and putting on another ROM may be of some help?
I have really no idea, so any suggestion is very welcome!
Thank you very much

Maybe you guys can help me? My HTC One is only getting EDGE.
My HTC One that is being used with MetroPCS' BYOD plan is only getting EDGE, and not 3g, 4g, or even LTE. The phone was being used with Verizon Wireless before I got it. Everything works fine, but my data speed is super slow (EDGE 0.01 download and 0.01 upload). When I check the APN settings, it still says Verizon Wireless Internet. The people at my local MetroPCS store were no help since they don't know anything about APN settings. Thanks.

[Q] MMS Not working properly on my Verizon S4 unlocked for T-Mobile use

I have a Verizon S4 phone that I am trying to use with T-Mobile. MMS works but not until after I have made a phone call. I have to do this every time I restart the phone. 4g and phone calls seem to be working fine without having to do anything to get those going.
I am set to Global Network Mode and have these APN Settings:
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username : Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: http: / /mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: Not set
MMS Port: 80
MMC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication Type: Not set
APN Type: default,mms,supl
APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Unspecified
Mobile virtual network operator type: None
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get mms to start working properly without having to remember to make a phone call first after every restart?

Three 4G not working?

I have the Xperia Z2 on Three UK and I bought it unlocked. 3G works fine but 4G doesn't, even when LTE only is selected and my friends on Three have full 4G signal it shows no service. 4G used to work on O2. My APN settings are correct. Any ideas?
LTE on 3 UK works fine for me, are you 100% sure you have 4G signal in your area with three? Have a check with this tool. Have you checked the "Use only 3G networks" option in mobile network settings?
Also, check your APN settings with my ones what I'll post.

It's working now I think you have to wait a few days after starting a new contract before 4g is activated.

Telus MMS / Picture Messaging Not Working (SOLVED)

I wanted to post this information in case anyone else runs into the same issue. I have a SM-G900T that was from T-Mobile which was unlocked and has been running on the Telus network. Currently running Android OS 6.0.1 (Marshmellow) using the Area 51 ROM huge thanks to malbert16442 for his work!
The issue is: voice, data and text messaging was working just fine, however I could not receive or send MMS messages. I found that the problem was both the APN list within the ROM as well as Telus's own APN settings did not work.
The solution was to clear the "APN Type" field!
Here's the APN settings I am currently using:
Name: TELUS (name is irrelevant)
APN: sp.telus.com
Proxy server: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: (won't let me post the MMSC value, but its the generic Telus HTTP URL)
Proxy server: 74.49.0.18
Port: 80
MCC:302
MNC: 220
Authentication type: None
APN type: Not set
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Unspecified
Mobile virtual network operator type: GID
Mobile virtual network operator value: 5455
Will this work/apply to the Cricket Wireless Network? i have the same exact problem, only I AM able to receive MMS, but not send it.

[ANSWER / FIX] How to get MMS working on AT&T Go Phone SIM, and Signal Messanger

Hello!
I have found out a way to allow MMS messages to work on AT&T Go Phone Plans.
I have seen many posts regarding this issue, and many people seem to still have an issue even after it is marked resolved in the github threads.
Here is how i fixed it for my device :
**Device Used**
Huawei Honor 5X
Android 7.1.1 Lineage OS Nightly
KIW-L24
AT&T Prepaid Go Phone SIM
**Steps**
First, if you are using a custom ROM, or even the stock Huawei ROM, It is likely you need to configure your APN settings.
You may have APN's that downloaded automatically, or you can create a new one if none are there.
Here are the things you need to make sure are set in Settings > Data > Cellular Networks > Access Point Names:
Name: ATT Nextgenphone
APN: nxtgenphone
Proxy: none
Port: none
Username: none
Password: none
Server: none
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type: none
APN: default,mms,supl,nota,hipri
APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
Bearer: Unspecified
MVNO Type: None
Next we need to configure some settings for Signal:
**SMS**
SMS Enabled
"Wifi Calling" Compatibility mode: ON
**Chats and Media**
When using Mobile Data: Images, Audio, Video
When using Wifi: "Images, Audio, Video"
**Reboot your phone and attempt to download an MMS Message**
You should now be able to use your AT&T Go Phone SIM and Signal with both other Signal Users and unencrypted with Non-Signal users!
thanks
the only changed that was required on my side (straight talk on at&t) was to change the MVNO and Bearer to none/unspecified.
I managed to get this working after reverting back to stock and then realizing the difference in default values for MVNO and Bearer. Would have saved me time if only I saw your post 2 days before I found the solution myself. +1
