Unlocked Sprint Note 5 to Cricket no signal bars/ outgoing sms - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have a unlocked sprint (cdma) note 5 currently on cricket. I purchased from 3rd party so sprint won't help. Everything works except for outgoing sms and mms, I also have NO signal bars but am still receiving, making calls and incoming texts. This phone has the weirdest settings I've come across, my last phone was note 4. I have to put ##3282# into dialer to get in apn settings, everything is correct in that setting. I can't for the life of me find the message center or number in the phone settings. I have a little knowledge about phones so I know where to look, its just not there! Cricket gave me the number I would need to put in, I just can't find where to put it. I'm not tech savvy, but the phone is on 7.0 nougat? That's all I know about that...any help would be greatly appreciated...

Wrong call back numbers on non VZW carriers

I have a VZW i605 Note 2.
I am using AT&T service.
I have JellyBeans 21 ROM installed.
OK, on to the question...
When I receive a phone call the call back number is wrong. From what I have read it is an issue with non Verizon service or something.
If I were to get a call from 18147259951 it would show up as +8147259951 in my recent calls list, making it impossible for me to easily call them back from that screen.
Does anyone have any idea of how this could be fixed?
I know I can just install an international ROM and it will work, however then my GPS will not work. (I also really like JellyBeans)
This has been bugging me for some time now and I would greatly appriciate any assistance I can get.

[Q] Gzone commando rejecting calls before they ring

Hi guys, I bought a G zone Commando C811 to use it as a second phone in a GSM network because I know Verizon global ready phones are unlocked and i liked this model a lot. My issue is the phone works on gsm network ok (SMS, outgoing calls and 3g data) but it is rejecting all incoming calls, phone forwards incoming call to voice mail or if VM is disabled it sounds busy. I managed to root the phone and I disabled all verizon bloatware, I've looked phone logcat and it shows that phone utils is rejecting all incoming calls as soon as they arrive and even before the phone rings.
I asked about this issue in different forums but no answer yet maybe because this phone is very new and a low stream one. I'm not a dev but I could try to find the fix myself if somebody more experienced tell me how to start to troubleshoot this issue.
I'm pretty sure if this phone was a popular one as Verizon's GS4, Droid DNA or HTC One somebody had managed to fix this for GSM users.

[Q] possible OC1 workaround??

I am trying to make my girlfriends Verizon Galaxy S4 work with our T-Mobile Sim cards. It was working great until I messed up and updated to OC1. Literally the only thing that doesn't work is outgoing SMS. I can even send MMS.
What I'm trying to figure out is if it is at all possible to force the phone to send MMS ONLY. It would have to be something I can just set and let her use it. She's not going to jump through hoops every time she wants to text.
I appreciate any and all input you can offer. Thank you in advance
Did you try going into settings/more networks/network mode and make sure it's set to GSM/LTE? Only Verizon is CDMA. Also look up (Google) the correct VPN for t-mobile.
You betcha! Data works, phone calls work, MMS works, and incoming texts work. Verizon did something that makes it where the phone won't send text messages on GSM carriers.

How do I get texting to work on a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 with T-Mobile service?

I just got this phone about a month ago and I am not able to send any text messages but yet, I can receive them. MMS, data, and calling works pretty good too. MMS didn't work at first until I had to change my APN settings. Is there a way to fix this?
Does this problem have something to do with the software version? It's 5.0.1 (lollipop)
I'm having the same problem with my phone also!
Samsung Galaxy S4 (Verizon)
Im also having the same issue. Sold phone and bought lg g3. Ive tried changing to LTE / UTMS / GSM from global. But nothing. I turn off wifi and on data, sometimes texts go thru. But not 100%.. Another thing you can do temporarily is get a google voice number. All calls will be forwarded to your number and texts will show up in email and hangouts. Good luck

same problem here. It seems we need to either disable lte or find a way to choose lte/gsm mode to get the texting work. I did not find a way to do this in lollipop. Please help.
I need a fix also
No texting on Verizon s4 i545 on 5.0.1 with root
None of the radio switches are working
Need a proper solution ,
partial soln
I have the same problem going to cricket. Here is the solution I am using until a better one is found.
EDIT: (My SCH-I545 is rooted and running Stang5Litres rom, OF1)
[App] Advanced Signal Status
[Select] Additional Info at bottom of page
[Select] Phone Info
[Setting] GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
This soln turns of LTE, but still allows me to use EVDO and HSPA, and texts send and recieve fine. Still trying to find a LTE soln.

3g and AT&T problems

So phone is not working because of 3g gone on AT &T.
All incoming calls go directly to voicemail. Outgoing calls take two clicks to enable.
I am roaming in US from Canada. My provider Rogers told me to switch network to T-Mobile. That works but the problem is network selection has one choice Automatic. When you turn off and go to networks then chose T-Mobile it works but the phone shortly after turns back on automatic and AT&T then comes back.
Anyone have a solution to this?
I have a similar problem. All incoming calls go straight to voicemail. Outgoing calls and data service is fine.
I am using ATnT and Redpocket in USA.
Spoke with technical people at redpocket and they gave me new APNs. With one APN I started getting incoming calls but no data. They also suggested that my phone is not compatible as they are shutting down 3g service, but it doesn't make sense as I can still make outgoing calls plus with a different APN I can get incoming calls too.
I don't understand the reasons why this phone will not work. Maybe it uses volte to make outgoing calls. When I first dial a number it just closes but when dialed a second time it connected fine.
Back in Canada and no problem here. When roaming in the US it worked fine on T-Mobile but the phone kept defaulting back to AT&T which is Rogers Canada primary network affiliate for roaming in US.
Phone works fine on T-Mobile but that will end end of this year when they drop 3G.
Am trying to get an answer from Huawei support but so far nothing.
Will post any info I get from them.
