OK, this took a lot of trial and error, some bravery on my part, and SEVERAL calls to AT&T, but I finally got it working!* I am not a Dev anywhere CLOSE to the likes of DG, but I do have extensive knowledge of hacking mobile devices in general, GSM networks, CS/PS infrastructure, and industry experience from the NOC side of several MSOs (aka ISPs), so I tackled this problem from a "what would I implement if I were AT&T and wanted to force a tethering package on subscribers?" Point of view, and worked backwards from there.
Many have tried the solution already posted, and I give credit to the poster of that original "fix" while respectfully pointing out that using this "fix" accomplished AT&T deleting my data package twice, and provisioning a tethering plan automatically once, all automatically done by the system. This was not the solution I was looking for.
So, without further introductions/banter on my part, here is the step-by-step... I will try to keep explanations to a minimum for now, if they are asked for I will put them in post #2.
*Prerequisites: ROOT
*Tools required: Root Explorer, SQLite Editor (both available in market, yes they are paid apps but they are WORTH EVERY PENNY!)
----note: this can also be accomplished using adb and a sqlite database editor on your pc, but requires many, many more steps, and won't work after reboot unless you have a working busybox and can successfully chown/chmod the .db file after you copy it back to the device, and even then I still had trouble with it after reboot, so... I had success with these paid apps, so I'm writing the tutorial assuming you have them. If there is enough demand I'll write an alternate tutorial on how to do this using free tools.
*******
++++++++++++ Edited, now shorter! Thanks to all for testing these settings, the new steps are confirmed working!
*(if you used the steps prior to my editing them, you're good, your settings will work fine, the changes reflect a different, shorter way to do this)
1) Create a NEW access point setting using the following settings: (SETTINGS>WIRELESS AND NETWORKS>MOBILE NETWORKS>ACCESS POINT NAMES> {press menu} NEW APN
Name: whatever you like here, I use att
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy:
Port:
Username:
Password:
Server:
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type:
APN Type: default,agps,fota,supl,fota,tether,mms
(all settings I left blank, leave blank, make sure you press menu, save to save)</br>
2) Enable Airplane Mode
(hold power button for three seconds, select Airplane Mode)
3) Open Root Explorer
4) Navigate to: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/
5) Click on "telephony.db"** (this should open the db using SQLite Editor)
6) Select "carriers"
7) You should see a long list of APN settings for various carriers, the ones you are interested in are rows 4, 6, and 7. Scroll ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT and the last column should be labeled "preloaded." You will notice that each is labeled "true" press and hold the word "true" in row 4 and select "Edit Field" from the pop up menu. Change the "true" to "false" and click "Save". Repeat this step for rows 6 and 7.
7b) Edit the type field of row 6. Right now the field says "tether". Change it so that it says "default,agps,fota,supl,fota,tether"
7c) Change the APN field in row 6 from BROADBAND to wap.cingular
8) Press back twice to close the SQLite editor and you should be back in Root Explorer. Close Root Explorer.
9) Disable Airplane Mode
10) Go back to the list of APNs you saw in step 1. You should see that the "locked padlock" is now unlocked on the preloaded APNs named AT&T US, AT&T US HSDPA, and AT&T TETHER. You now need to edit the one labeled AT&T TETHER. Change the following settings:
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy:
Proxy port:
APN type:
Press menu, save.
11) Select the radio button for the APN you created in step one. AT&T Tether.
12) Reboot phone.
13) Enjoy! Mobile Hotspot should now work first time no issues!
Note: (Due to some pre-existing (bug?) in the software, you do need to have wifi turned on BEFORE you enable Mobile Hotspot for it to set up properly. If you forget it will hang until you enable wifi.)
#########################
After staying up all night to figure this out, I have confirmed that using the Webtop without dock MOD combined with mine you CAN use webtop with your 3G/H+ connection!!! No wifi required!
Steps to make this work:
1) Connect Webtop
2) Using the window that allows you to control the regular phone interface, navigate to the ACCESS POINT NAMES menu described in step 1 above.
3) Select the radio button next to "AT&T Tethering"
Done! Open firefox and enjoy!
Credits to Fenny, author of the MOD to enable Webtop without dock!
Also designgears, author of Adeo, which is necessary to run aforesaid MOD!
And to t0dbld, who contributed significantly and led the discussion that resulted in said MOD.

It should, though I personally own neither, and therefore have not tested that particular functionality. There is no way that I am aware of that AT&T SHOULD be able to tell any difference between traffic from tethered devices and traffic from the device itself, so unless they are packet sniffing (illegal for ISPs, somewhat hazy regulation on wireless service providers, but would be a BIG shock to me if they were) or there is something in the actual webtop ubuntu software that would inform AT&T that webtop is being used somehow (also HIGHLY unlikely, as it would be a HUGE invasion of privacy) the answer is YES!
PLEASE if you have access to either of these $$$$$ expensive docks if you wouldn't mind test this for me and report back to confirm that indeed it does allow use without wifi.

ah crap, i accidentally deleted the ATT Tether profile, can you give me the settings please?
Thanks!
or even better, attach the original sq file?
I hate that you are probably on final steps, but... You cannot re-create the AT&T Tethering profile manually, as this will break the functionality of the script that Mobile hotspot uses to "Verify" that you have a tethering plan...
Please go to your APN list, and press MENU>Restore Default Settings
Then (sorry) start over from step 1

ahh didnt see that, thanks!
I can confirm that this works great - you no longer get stuck at "setting up data link" (so no more changing APNs to fix that).
Although, I tried the newly found webtop hack which allows you to just connect the HDMI cable to a TV and run webtop - it does not work without wifi. If you try turning off wifi and use 3g, it says "communicating with ATT to see if webtop something something" and nothing loads.

Good work richhed!
Wifi hotspot works, but it does not seem to work with the hd dock over 3g only with wifi. There must be another check somewhere along the way. Too bad, hopefully we canfigure it out soon though.
I'm using the Atrix in Australia on the 3/Vodafone network, is there a way I can get it to work?

great find on unlocking there crap !! btw if you delete the apn type or the apn all together for the tethering etc you wont have to do the wifi on off thing, you have to do that because sometimes its still defaulting to the apn that is strictly tethering

Yes it does , i would check your settings again , jsut because the blue tethering active comes up does not mean it is tethering an active connection, recheck your settings and try again, working fine here

I for one would be interested in a tutorial with the alternative method!
Nice job! This hack is based on the same principle as the TBH NVRAM tether hack that we released for Droid devices except yours is done by changing the APN in the system and ours is done by changing the Tethered NAI(Network Access Identifier) strings in the NVM because that is where the carrier data authentication components are actually stored in CDMA phones. With GSM all of that is stored in the SIM card itself and is not accessible in the NVM.
The change does functionally the same thing, that being making all data use appear to the network as internal data rather than flagged as an externally tethered device.
Congratulations!
uhm I tried this, when i launch with internal viewer, i cannot edit. but when i try to launch with the db editor, it wont open cuz it says no network connect (since we turned on airplane mode)
EDIT: nvm I needed to download the editor from the market since I didnt have one installed.
Can we delete all of the other APN settings without ill-effect?

ikenley,
I am less familiar with your network, and I'll also need more information:
1) Are you using a US, AT&T branded Atrix?
2) What are the DEFAULT, working APN(s) for 3/Vodafone "smartphone" data plans?
3) Do these APN(s) require login credentials, and
4) Do they proxy their smartphone data plan
Unfortunately, if the answer to #4 is yes, then the answer is no, it (probably) won't work. Also, if they require a login, it depends on the type.

LOL, I was hoping that you wouldn't say that
Every time I personally tried I couldn't get it to stick on reboot, I think I may have been doing something wrong with the chown or something. Give me a few days I'll keep at it ;-)
BTW, if you have a basic knowledge of adb, and bash or busybox or any linux based command line terminal, basically you follow all steps the same except when you are editing the .db you'll need to copy that file to the sdcard, then to your pc, then edit it, then copy it back to sdcard, then back to /data/data/com.android.provider.telephony/databases/ and THEN you have to use adb shell to chown/chmod the file to the proper settings. I think it may be that the group ownership is changed to sdcard when you move the file... Anyway I'll work on it.

Hey everyone!
I'm using Incubus' Froyo build release 16, and it's working great! Besides a few problems with USB mass storage and tethering, I'm really happy to have jumped from WinMo to Android.
I need help with the APN settings. There's the default T-Mobile APN on there that's already selected by default. It's configured as default, supl (which I don't have a clue what it is), and mms. Data, SMS and calls all work fine, but I'd like to be able to use MMS and configure the default APN to Bell's APNs.
No luck so far, as it seems changing the MNC to something different than what the OS reports invalidates the new APN, thus hiding it from the list.
If someone's been able to get this right, please help me. The settings I'm using are from the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=660824
Thanks !
I am having the same issue with fresh froyo. Anyone have any luck?
First, I'm on a GT-N7000 running android 4.0.4 build Kernel version 3.0.15-N7000UBLR3-CL890184. I was running the stock android 2.3 until I updated over Kies air about a week ago which caused the problem that I'm having. I noticed it first in the stock browser which is Entel (Chilean mobile service provider) branded. Web pages were loading really strangely; small, to the left, and disorganized. I installed Chrome but it had the same problem. So then I chose the "request desktop version" option in Chrome and it started working right, and then did the same in the stock browser and it worked right there too. But only for a little while. After I left the program and came back a few hours later and tried to look at a different web page the problem had returned. I noticed that the "request desktop version" box had become unchecked so I checked it again, and this time it didn't fix the problem. I went into task manager and closed the program and then opened it again checked the "request desktop version" and this time it did work. Then I left again for a few hours and came back to it and it didn't have any problems, then I left it again for a few hours and came back and it did. Then I noticed that the images in Google Reader were smaller then they were supposed to be and when I clicked on the link to the web page the image was from, the browser didn't load it right again. "Request desktop version" didn't fix it. I long pressed on the image and choose "view image in new tab" and the image loaded small again and even when you zoomed in it was all pixelated, but then I chose "request desktop version" again and this time it worked and when I reloaded the original web page where the image was from it worked, though the image was still small in the Google Reader app, though the image in the next post was fine. Also, when I'm having problems in the browser facebook app seems to load things weird too, though it usually acts fine when I'm not. What the ____ is going on?
TL;DR What system resource is causing html (and especially images) to load small and funky across many different apps? See attached images for examples.
go to applications > all > Internet > clear data and try again
I tried that, and it seemed to work at first, but then the problem came back. I then cleared data on Internet and Chrome with the same result.
plugins enabled ?
in browser settings > advanced
Shown as "Always on"
java script?
Under bandwidth management, load images?
I only have "preload search results" and "load images" as options under bandwidth management. For "preload search results" WiFi only is selected, for "load images" there is no sub-heading of "java script" available, just a check box, which is checked.
no no, java script is under advanced. They were 2 different option. sorry to confuse you.
It's ok. Java-script is checked. Should I un-check and save and then re-check and save any of these options? any way that might help?
its checked on mine and the pages load fine. so it should be checked.
---------- Post added at 12:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------
are you using the mobile network or wifi.?
I know it happens on mobile network, and I think it happens on WiFi, but I'm not sure. And again, it doesn't happen all the time (though maybe this is because it doesn't happen on WiFi and always happens on mobile, I'm not sure)
check if you access point names are set to correct setting if it only happen using mobile network. else if happens on wifi as well, may be worth trying a factory reset, but make sure you on a safe kernel and backup your data
Access point names?
yeah the one in
settings/more/mobile network settings
OK, well here are the screenshots of what I have under APNs. You can compare that with another pic I've uploaded and what's listed here: http://www.mobilecloseup.com/foro/showthread.php?t=953558 and here: http://empresas.entel.cl/PortalEmpr...nfpb=true&_pageLabel=P14404727181299181386406 There seem to be some differences, but I'm not sure they are important.
best to find out from your providers. for me it looks ok
So, I checked again to make sure, and while google seems to work, and some websites work better then others, pretty much all of them are messed up only when I'm mobile network and nothing is messed up when I'm on WiFi. What can I do to fix the APN's? What do I have to tell my cell service provider?
first try to remove and reenter them. check for the correct setting s from them.
FIXED
So here is the full fix:
The problem is that web pages don't load right after an android 4.0.4 ICS update, though probably it would have the same problem after updating to 4.1 Jelly Bean or any other update. Webpages load small because the APN gets reset to Entel's mobile internet server (bam.entelpcs.cl) instead of full internet server (imovil.entelpcs.cl). All you have to do is create a new APN and choose it. To this go to Settings>Wireless and network>More...>Mobile networks>Access Point Names>Menu button>New APN.
The new APN should have these settings:
NAME: Internet Móvil [don't really think the "ó" is important]
APN: imovil.entelpcs.cl
Proxy: not set
Port: not set
User name: entelpcs
Password: entelpcs
Server: Not set
MMSC: Not set
MMS proxy: Not set
MMS port: Not set
MCC: 730
MNC: 01
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: internet
APN protocol: IPv4
Enable/disable APN: APN enabled
Bearer: Unspecified
After you create it, make sure it is chosen and not the bam.entelpcs.cl option
One other thing, I changed Settings>Wireless and network>More...>Mobile networks>Network mode to GSM only, but when I did this it got stuck on E network only and wouldn't connect to 3G or H or H+, so I changed it back. Also, when I was trying to figure this out I went into Settings>Wireless and network>More...>Mobile networks>Network operators and chose Entel, but I don't think this was necessary.
glad you solved it

Hello there good people of XDA. I would post this in the viperone thread, but alas I appeR to be relegated to the q&a thread.
Anywho I have a sprint htc one flashed to pageplus, which was a pain but that is another story. I have everything working on the stock rom (text, talk, mms, and data).
For a change I decided to try the viperone rom(since I have a flashed phone I need access to the ## commands which I believe is only possible in sense based roms).
I have everything working in the Viperone rom except Mms. I believe when I flashed the new rom these were set back to sprint default (based off the fact that the RTS/HTTP settings also went back to sprint default).
However, I cannot seem to access the MMSC settings. I can ##data#, advanced, and see the option to select MMSC settings! but clicking it does nothing.
I have re downloaded and re flashed the rom, but this issue is still here. Is this common? Is there a workaround or some other way to edit the MMSC settings that anyone of you know of.
Thanks for you time and help in advance. :laugh:

use an app called apn shortcut to access apn settings and set your page plus apns(if you know them)
Thanks for the reply! I downloaded the program, but even after making a new apn, deleting the old apn, I can't seem to get mms. Going the the messaging app, it appears that the phone is still trying to use the sprint mms servers. I'll look for other ways to change the apn and come back with what I find.
Ok, I attempted to try a couple of programs to manually change my apn, but to no avail. If I were to guess, maybe they are not cdma compatable due to the spc lockout. A spc backup app seemed rather promising (backup the apn on the stock rom where I could edit the apn and restore it on the viperone rom) but for some reason when I made it a system app it got deleted on reboot. I also saw some scripts that could be run on twrp, but none for a verizon apn (what pageplus uses). I finally gave up and decided to use a messaging app that lets me manually configure the apn, not a true fix but it is a workaround.

Yeah, that's the part that gave me a pain too. The guide by ryoung does work, probably the one you used to initially flash it:

The part that was giving me trouble was having the settings for mobile ip "stick"
I would make the changes and write, but when I read the phone a sin, it would still be the sprint settings
What I wound up doing was writing the data multiple times until it stuck, something like:
13. Click on Mobile IP Tab and enter:
DS QcMIP: PrefMobileIP
Profile Settings:
Active profile: 0
Number of Profiles: 1
Registration settings:
Retries count: 2
Pre-Reg timeout: 30
Retries interval: ms1750
settings:
2002 BIS MN HA AUTH: Put a check mark
Domant handoff: Put a check mark
PRQ IF Traffic:
Click write 4 times with nam1 and 4 times with nam 2
Under profile column:
Select the first bubble and make active (Right click, enable profile)
Make sure all other profiles are Disabled (Righ click, Disable profile)
Selected profile settings:
*** Make sure profile 1 bubble is BLUE****
Current User Profile
NAI: [email protected]
Home address: 0.0.0.0 MN HA SPI set: Check box 300
Prim HA address 255.255.255.255 MN AAA SPI set: Check box 2
Sec HA address 255.255.255.255 Reverse Tunneling pref: Check box
Share Secret User Profile
AAA Shared Secret
Enter value in HEX: Check Box
(In white box enter: vzw)
HA Shared Secret
Enter value in HEX: Check box
(In white box enter: vzw)
Detail
RM NAI : [email protected]
DMU PKOID: 10 DMU MN Auteth: 1.178.7
Click write current profile 4 times in nam1 and 4 times in nam2
Then click the other write button 4 times in nam1 and 4 times in nam2
Finally, hit the read button and your values should be edited ( only the hass and aaass will be gone which I guess is normal, I think you have to rewrite them every time you read the profile), it they are back again to the sprint settings, just try writing again. This is what went wrong with mine, but I don't know if you have a different problem.
One other thing, when you enter the ha and aaa shared secret, don't have the hex box checked, you can write vzw, then hit the check to turn it into hex, but if you initially have it checked I don't think it writes to the profile.
I think just that would have worked for me, but I did have a few deviations from his guide because I was trying a few things to get my data to work, and I'll just let you know for completeness.
I actiually had profile 0 And 1 active with the same information since it seemed to be wanting to continually revert to profile 1, though I think this is from my settings not wanting to stick.
Something like
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I also copied the settings from the guy on page 3
Imsi IMSI T
MIN A: 000 0002738 MIN A: 000 000000
MIND: (YOURMIN) MIN D: (YOURMIN)

SCH A: 691 SCH B: 777
AOC A: 0 AOC D: 0
SCI: 2 SCM: 3A
CAI: 6 NAM: 0
I kept these settings stock
MDN: (YOUR PHONE NUMBER)
PCS: (YOUR PHONE NUMBER)
NAME PAGEPLUS
preferred SETTINGS:
SYSPREF: HOMEPREF
CDMA_HDR
HOMEONLY
BANDPREF:AUTO
ROAM PREF:AUTO
ALL THREE BOXES IN VOCODER SECTION CHECKED
ALL THREE OPTIONS BELOW THAT SET TO EVRC
Also, when on my phone when I hit the mobile data tab I set it to cdma only.
In the end I don't think I needed to do those changes, but my problem was really not the settings sticking. Writing multiple times with nam1 and 2 seemed to work.

The part that was giving me trouble was having the settings for mobile ip "stick"
I would make the changes and write, but when I read the phone a sin, it would still be the sprint settings
What I wound up doing was writing the data multiple times until it stuck, something like:
13. Click on Mobile IP Tab and enter:
DS QcMIP: PrefMobileIP
Profile Settings:
Active profile: 0
Number of Profiles: 1
Registration settings:
Retries count: 2
Pre-Reg timeout: 30
Retries interval: ms1750
settings:
2002 BIS MN HA AUTH: Put a check mark
Domant handoff: Put a check mark
PRQ IF Traffic:
Click write 4 times with nam1 and 4 times with nam 2
Under profile column:
Select the first bubble and make active (Right click, enable profile)
Make sure all other profiles are Disabled (Righ click, Disable profile)
Selected profile settings:
*** Make sure profile 1 bubble is BLUE****
Current User Profile
NAI: [email protected]
Home address: 0.0.0.0 MN HA SPI set: Check box 300
Prim HA address 255.255.255.255 MN AAA SPI set: Check box 2

HA Shared Secret
Enter value in HEX: Check box
(In white box enter: vzw)

RM NAI : [email protected]
DMU PKOID: 10 DMU MN Auteth: 1.178.7
Click write current profile 4 times in nam1 and 4 times in nam2
Then click the other write button 4 times in nam1 and 4 times in nam2
Finally, hit the read button and your values should be edited ( only the hass and aaass will be gone which I guess is normal, I think you have to rewrite them every time you read the profile), it they are back again to the sprint settings, just try writing again. This is what went wrong with mine, but I don't know if you have a different problem.
One other thing, when you enter the ha and aaa shared secret, don't have the hex box checked, you can write vzw, then hit the check to turn it into hex, but if you initially have it checked I don't think it writes to the profile.
I think just that would have worked for me, but I did have a few deviations from his guide because I was trying a few things to get my data to work, and I'll just let you know for completeness.
I actiually had profile 0 And 1 active with the same information since it seemed to be wanting to continually revert to profile 1, though I think this is from my settings not wanting to stick.
Something like
I also copied the settings from the guy on page 3
Imsi IMSI T

I kept these settings stock

NAME PAGEPLUS
preferred SETTINGS:
SYSPREF: HOMEPREF
CDMA_HDR
HOMEONLY
BANDPREF:AUTO
ROAM PREF:AUTO
ALL THREE BOXES IN VOCODER SECTION CHECKED
ALL THREE OPTIONS BELOW THAT SET TO EVRC
Also, when on my phone when I hit the mobile data tab I set it to cdma only.
In the end I don't think I needed to do those changes, but my problem was really not the settings sticking. Writing multiple times with nam1 and 2 seemed to work.

Anyone know of a bug tracker for the ZTE Axon?
I have seen quite a few bugs so far and am wondering how to provide feedback. Off the top of my head some bugs I have seen:
- Google fit can't count steps correctly on the ZTE Axon, unlike on my Nexus 5. I may walk for a couple of hours and only see a few minutes show up on Google Fit. I **hope** this is a software problem.
- Sometimes widgets don't work (I have weather underground, fitbit and google fit on my main screen) forcing me to do a restart. I haven't seen that in a week or so though.
- Take some photos with HDR on and some photos with HDR off before going back and looking at the photos. The pictures with HDR off sometimes are lost.
Don't know of one but this is as good a place as any to begin listing them. As far as notifying ZTE, their CS is decent, maybe send list through them.
Another potential problem - I am having a lot of issues trying to send/receive pictures over MMS/SMS (I haven't been able to successfully send or receive a picture yet). Anyone else have problems?
Make sure you select your mobile carrier/provider correctly. A lot of providers have unusual rules when it comes to picture/MMS messaging. I use Handscent (now Next SMS?)and you can select the provider in the app to make sure you are following the rules correctly on size etc.
Understood. But I have never ever used anything other than unlocked phones with T-Mobile and it "just works" without me having to mess with anything. There is something wrong happening here.
I have two other Nexus 5s in my household and checked their APN settings:
- One is running 4.4.4 and an older version of Hangouts. I have verified that MMS works on this phone. I went into the Hangouts configuration and I saw that it had the APN just for MMS pointing to a MetroPCS APN which was not configured on my phone. The default APN configuration fast.t-mobile.com is identical to the one that is configured on my ZTE Axon (the ZTE Axon has only one APN configured).
- The other is running the latest 5.1.1 (the SIM is relatively new - this is my old phone which I installed clean for a relative) and the latest version of Hangouts. I checked Hangouts configuration - the option to choose a different APN just for MMS is gone...but MMS is still working on this phone. It also has the MetroPCS APN configured in the APN list but is not selected anywhere.
So I tried to add the MetroPCS APN configuration to my ZTE Axon and "Saved" it. Save was successful but the MetroPCS APN did not appear in the list. I partially re-added the MetroPCS APN and I saw the MetroPCS APN in my APN list. I completed the MetroPCS APN configuration and it disappeared again!
Jonathan - Do you have MMS working on the ZTE Axon with T-Mobile? This looks very broken to me.

More information - it screws up once I try and set the "MVNO type" and "MVNO value" which is set for the MetroPCS APN on both Nexus 5s (MVNO type - GID, MVNO value - 6D). If I set the MVNO type to GID and leave the MVNO value as the default it blows away my default T-Mobile APN when I save. If I set the MVNO value to 6D as well, the MetroPCS APN disappears on the save.
EDIT: Also double-checked my default APN settings against what T-Mobile suggests:
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090
The fast.t-mobile.com configuration provided by the SIM (and shown in the Axon) is identical to this.

The support document is correct and my APN is set the same.
However, I am talking the messaging client. Most MMS messages have a limit set by the provider. If I'm correct T-mobile is 1MB. You have to set that limit in the messaging program or app. If you don't, the message just gets blocked by the provider. Have you tried sending a picture message of something that you know the size of? Like a 30KB jpg or something. If that gets through and others don't that's your issue. The only reason why I say this, is that I had the same issue when I got my OPO. It was the whole reason I started using Handscent in the first place, because you can choose what network you are on and it will re-size pics appropriately.
Found My MMS Problem
I went outside my house and tried to resend (and try to re-receive) my MMS messages. MMS worked!
Came back inside and it stopped working. Turned wifi off while inside and it worked again!
Narrowed the problem to the adblock plus wifi proxy on my phone (as I don't have the phone rooted yet I can't use AdAway - ugh). Once I turned that off MMS worked while wifi was on.
Even though I have worked in telecom in the past, I did learn something here - I thought MMS messages came in over the mobile network...but that does not appear to be true. They must be retrieved from the internet (whether it be 3G/LTE or wifi). It now makes sense that the APN defines a MMS URL. I guess the mobile network (probably via SMS) provides a key to look up the MMS at that URL.
Still doesn't explain the wacky disappearing MetroPCS APN...but that is not as big an issue for me now since I can get MMS to work.
I'm still having problems with sending and receiving MMS the messaging ap crashes every time I try to send one or try download one that was sent to me. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it. Nothing.

What have you tried? Have you tried MMS in both the Messaging app and Hangouts? Have you tried on LTE and Wifi?
What happens when a message is sent to you? In Hangouts if it receives the message from the mobile network but can't get the MMS, it tells you there is a message waiting (the ZTE Messaging app displays nothing).
Agreed with gflash2015, need more detail. All my mms come through no problem.

Well today I got a software update from zte and it fixed this problem.
Not sure if it's a bug or intended but music services, such as Tidal, that provide hi-fi streaming music do not work on the hi-fi setting. Music streams fine on the other settings but not on hi-fi. Seems that this was overlooked. Hopefully an update can resolve.
I am having a problem with the camera on my Axon Pro. I guess this would be considered a bug. It seems almost all the pictures I take have a skin image softening effect to them. Outdoors, with daylight, indoors even in a bright room, etc. No matter what effects I try changing, it seems just about every image I take has a softening effect to it. When you view the image in the gallery and zoom in, you can see everything looks softened or blurred. Not sharp and detailed. I have tried various other camera apps in the Google Play store, and it seems that this softening effect is just built in to the base camera firmware or something, because it happens with every camera app I try. Google Camera, Camera FV-5, Camera MX, etc.
The only time it doesn't apply the softening effect is when you are close to something with the flash on, but even then, it still comes out softened sometimes. I took a picture of my cat from about a 2 feet away, with the flash on, and it came out super clear and detailed. I was using Camera FV-5. But when I try taking pictures outside, in my backyard or wherever, or in any other situation, it applies that image/skin softening like effect. Very VERY annoying.
It's not as noticeable when you just view the picture zoomed out all the way, but if you pinch to zoom you can see that effect I'm talking about. I hope it's something that can be fixed somehow... Otherwise I might have to sell my phone and get the Samsung Galaxy S6. I like everything else about the Axon Pro, especially the audio/music quality, but I'm also a photography guy and based on reviews I read, I expected the quality to be pretty good. I didn't see anything about a softening effect in any reviews I watched/read.
So anyone else experience this? Can this be turned off somehow and I just am blind and don't see the setting? Or is this something ZTE would have to fix with an update? Or is it not fixable at all?
Are you on the bokeh setting?
No, not in the Bokeh mode. I did try that, and that is a nice feature to have.. I tried all different settings though, auto mode, and manual mode. For some reason the pictures I take all seem to have this softening effect applied to them. It's strange.
I don't know, maybe I'm just expecting more out of the 13mp camera than it's capable of... But then why did my Sony Xperia ZL from a few years ago, which also has a 13mp camera, not have this softening effect?
Trouble with Music Player
My Axon is just 3 days old. There is this annoying problem with its music playback, it just randomly skip last part of the songs. like it wont play last 4-5 seconds. It is there for mp3 and FLAC files. These same files plays just fine on my nexus 5 and ipod and PC. Phone is just new, no settings changed yet. Installed Play Music and tested with different sets of files.
I have contacted ZTE support. They tried to clear the cache and test in safe mode and it still continue to behave the same. So they are replacing the device.

Isn't there a setting mentioning something about fade? I'd check myself but I've parked the Axon while I test drive a Z5.
