Weird Text - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I keep getting these repeatedly
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app

Looks like some of the texts I got when T-Mo was doing provisioning. I would reboot into recovery(stock or custom) and wipe cache(and fix permissions if you have custom recovery). If that doesn't work, contact advanced customer support. Good luck, and don't click any links in those, just in case.

[Q] Call Problems CM10.1.3-RC

Flashed cm10.1 release candidate today. Everything seemed fine, then I discovered I wasn't receiving calls and wasn't able to make calls either. Anybody have any similar issues? Anyone have any suggestions as to what I may have done to cause this or if there are any settings I may need to change? Please help. Thanks in advance.
I literally just had this problem and spent the past 5 hours with useless tech support.
Don't call Sprint tech support, they just end up doing something on their end that makes you lose your texting and data, too. They ****ed me so hard I have to go into a repair center.
I can't even get another phone correctly activated in the meantime to use as a placeholder.
I'm just as lost as you are, too.
Try ##786# menu and reset. Make sure you are in a good signal area, this will do hands free activation and update prl.

The problem with trying that is the phone number and MSID fields are now blank, and going into the other dialer menu ##221542# and setting them that way doesn't stick past the reboot it forces when you try and apply those.
Maybe try following this thread

Tried that a couple different times with a couple different tech support reps, each time the phone number and MSID don't stick afterwards.
Sorry I tried, I don't have any other ideas. Hopefully someone else can help.

My older phone is finally activated (took well over an hour for calls and data to come back to it, by far the longest I've ever seen a phone take). So at least I have a phone again.
Good luck OP, I'm going to visit a Sprint store tomorrow to see what they say. Report back in on whatever it is you try and what you find does/doesn't work.
Did you try set ril.class to HTCCDMAQUALCOMMRIL in the build.prop

It didn't do anything. I'm heading to a Sprint store right now.

Back from the Sprint store, the rep I had happens to be a flasher like one of us. I explained to him what had happened and he got right to ordering me a new phone after a $50 deductible.
So, OP, we were both SOL. The MSID had gotten corrupted (similar to how in the early days of the Galaxy S3, it had a chance to lose its ESN) and couldn't be re-written. Only thing to do is get a replacement.

MMS Issues?

Hi all, just got the M8 and it's a great piece of hardware.
But I seem to be having an issue receiving multimedia messages. I was just wondering if anybody else was having an issue with MMSing.
I'm planning on calling Sprint and seeing what they can do for me tomorrow.

Check your mms settings. Is it set to 5mb size? I couldn't send set to that size either, but setting it to 2mb works.

Sorry, should have specified that I'm on the stock ROM. The max message size is 2mb. At least that's what I'm seeing in the settings.

Bummer, sorry I'm no help then.
I also had that problem. I called sprint. We went thru the usual checks. I ended up getting transfered to 2nd level support. I was getting the error " general failure...........". I ended up resetting the phone to stock(hard reset) to clear the problem. Something in the restore hosed up the phone.

Yes. Everything worked perfectly. I guess the M8 does not like to have messages restored.
I was having problems and the solution I found is
##72786# and then menu then reset. After reboot I ran activation.

Isis Wallet

I was told that the Isis Wallet app came with a free $50 credit, yet when I tried to activate it, it told me I couldn't receive the credit due to me already having an American Express Bluebird card account. Anyone know anything about this or how to actually get it?

You get a Serve card with a $50 credit. I have the card and credit, but there is a problem adding it to the isis app.

I have to zero balance my bluebird account and cancel it before I can sign up with the other. Ironically enough, I switched to ART runtime (redundant) and both the bluebird and xda apps had problems with it.

if your balance shows zero, just log out, restart your phone and log back in. that's what i had to for mine to show up. Can't beat free $50.
Got my $50 right after everything was set up.

Wifi calling permission denied?

With the new update every time I press the wifi calling app in my launcher it says "permission denied" in a toast message and does nothing. And the menu in settings refuses to turn on. What am I missing?

Ask I got wifi calling itself to work in the settings and through the dialer by un-freezing self service. But the "app" still dies nothing and displays a "permission denied" toast message

Yeah, I'm getting the same toast notification, even though I have it all good to go in Settings.

VZW: Need to be on 3G to send texts

This has happened on a few VZW phones and the only way to fix is to flash a stock rom/reactivate. So... yeah.

Go into settings then SMS then access point names. I use T-Mobile and for some reason metropcs was selected. Try to select the AP that fits your carrier

APNs are set by the SIM on Verizon, this is neither an option nor needed.
The APN setting that needs to be changed is within google hangouts

I wasn't using Hangouts, but I tried it. The APN was already set to VZW (there were a dozen APNs in settings, but all the same). I tried it on LTE, but still no dice.

It has to deal with the activation, i'm sure. This has happened to me once or twice on my N2 and S3. I had to reflash back to a completely stock FW, reactivate, and flash back. No clue how it works, but it sounds like it happens when activating the phone. If this happens, there might not be a fix since there is no VZW FW/activation/etc. I spent ages playing in APN and cell settings (the hidden one in dialer.)
Try this, send a text, let it hang, and then toggle LTE off and then back to on again. If it sends, this issue is most likely very similar to those other issues on Samsung.
