Having issues setting up my ATIV SE, a Verizon phone, for use with T-Mobile. The phone works almost flawlessly now except for one stupid issue. It will send MMS but gives a server error whenever it receives one. Tethering is unlocked, LTE is fully functional... just that one really annoying bug left to get out of the system.
I was hopping someone with working MMS on T-Mobile could share their MVSettings registry values
Currently mine are:
Hide3GPP2ModeSelection = 0
HideMMSAPN = 0
HideAPN = 0
SwitchIMS = 1
SwitchSMSOverIMS = 1
SwitchVoiceOverIMS = 1
ShowVoLTEToggle = 0
I've provided a picture of the error and my MMS settings. On the ATIV S I was able to set the authentication type to "none" but Verizon has lock it to PAP. Any ideas, help, or advise?
Thank You!
(EDIT: The phone was on 3G to test if it would work on the epc.tmobile.com - it did not)

Hi all,
I have been using a GSM pre-paid card on my Tytn II for over a month without problem. However, yesterday I have been to some places without reception, and I have put my mobile into flight mode. Also, I have been using the GPS in a car (charging as well).
Now I turn off flight mode, I cannot able to register to the network anymore!! If i set to to use "GSM only", I cannot even get anything back from the network!
I am wondering if the GMS modem is dead.... anyway to test the GSM connection in Kaiser? (I don't have a 3G sim to test at the moment, will try to grab one from friends and test to see if 3G connection do work...)
*Updated:
I have just tried to run the FieldTest Application for Tytn on my Tytn II (can someone tells me if the value there should be valid or not?). In the GSM page, the RSSI value is between 16 and 29, is this not acceptable? Maybe something gone wrong in the antenna? Can someone try the fieldtest app and tell me what is your RSSI value? Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=274269
anyone here able to me?
anyway, my current ROM version:
ROM version: 1.81.710.1 WWE
Radio: 1.27.12.11
Protocol: 22.45.88.07H
I've not checked for the TyTN, but RSSI value reported by various GSM modules I've worked with is multiples of 2dB above a baseline of -113dBm...
so an RSSI of 16 is (2 x 16) -113 = -81dBm. Anything which is stable above -100dBm should be fine. So that suggests your radio is fine...
On the other hand my TyTN2 is reporting RSSI of 34 (modules I've used only measure up to 31) so that may not be true for TyTN2. I do have a *very* strong signal here though - the base station is a few hundred meters away and the antenna is level with my window.
Check that your network selection is set to 'automatic', network type to GSM and Band selection to 'Auto'.
If that doesn't work set change network selection to 'Manual' and see if it lists any networks found when it scans.

My RSSI value varies between about 23 to 28 but I don't understand enough to know what that means (and have no time to read the link at the moment). If its a HTC Branded TyTN (I don't know what that ROM value means) what happens when you run Connection Setup in the Settings, Connections tab? That should automate things for you.
Yes, already set to Auto.
Tested Sim cards in Australia: Telstra (2G), Vodafone, Optus, 3.... all failed.
However, using a CSL pre-paid from HK, able to connect to Telstra HSPDA network....
Also from the FieldTest App, in GSM page, RSSI 1 value stay at 255dbm, not sure if it is ok
If you do a network search, does it not list any 2g networks at all (with either SIM or USIM installed)?
You said before your rssi was 16-29, now it's 255? What changed?

From the FieldTest app, under the GSM page, there is a RSSI value. For my Tytn II, it is currently stay at around 26 now.... but I found another RSSI 1 value at the bottom of the page, which stay at 255dbm. Since this app is for Tytn, not sure if the values are valid for Tytn II.
Currently I have no idea why the only SIM card that works is the HK CSL SIM, which roam to Telstra HSDPA network (if i disable HSDPA, it does connect to 3G), but all my other GSM SIM does not work (even the one from 3, which suppose to connect 3G does not work).
I have no idea whether it is software or hardware issue at the moment, I have done hard reset, tried a few ROMs already.... still the same result...
Ok.... looks like my mobile is working again.
looks like the RSSI 1 value is only valid if it managed to connect to a GSM network.
There's no Auto option in Connection Setup

If this is in response to my suggestion to use the Connection Setup function, that doesn't have an auto option - it's even easier! It's in Settings => Connections tab and simply asks you what country you're in and then lets you choose the operator, then it configures things for you. If you don't have an HTC branded TyTN II (or suitably modified other setup) you may not have this little gem though.
Just got my Note N7000 today (my 1st smart phone) an so my ignorance of the terminology is so great it may be hopeless, but now that I bought it I have to stumble thru it somehow. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that one could get 3G data access with AirVoice (as well as other at&t MVNOs) so I purchased their sim card and $10 airtime plan (4 cents per minute voice 2 cents per message, and 33 cents per megabyte data). When my Note arrived I slipped the sim card in and Viola! ... I could instantly make and receive voice calls (no phone setup needed). For data however it seems like lots of setup is required.
For my first attempt I stumbled on this app called "tweakker" that claims to do all the setup for you. So I ran it, selected "AirVoice" and after a 60 second test it says: "You do not have ..." This might be a useful message telling me what I need to have but unfortunately I can't read it! It is covered up by a white box containing the message "Something is wrong. We could not connect you to the internet via your operator". So it seems tweakker can't do it for me.
So then I went to the phone instructions at the AirVoice web site:
http://www.airvoicewireless.com/PhoneSupportGeneralDataSettings.aspx
The automated "Over the Air" setup method appears to work by receiving some messages sent by AirVoice, so I called AirVoice support and they tried to help me. They sent the first required message several times. Each time I saw a notification on my phone that said that this transaction costs $.02 (which is what my plan claims it should cost) but I don't actually see this message. Perhaps it is just because I don't know how to receive a message, but I didn't see anything that looked like it could be a notification of a message and when I selected the "Messaging" icon, I didn't see any messages. Tech support also had me turn off my phone while the message was being sent, but that didn't seem to make any difference. She put me on hold but I soon was disconnected and by the time I called back the support desk had closed for the day.
So then I went to their manual setup information, but this is where I ran headlong into my terminology gap. For instance under "General Settings for Internet & MMS" in says "WAP Homepage URL = http://www.avmobileweb.com" but I don't know where I enter this in the phone. Same problem with the "MMS URL" and the "MMS APN".
Then on the phone under settings, Mobile networks I checked "Use packet data" and unchecked "Data roaming". Is that correct?
Then under "Network mode" I selected "Auto" and under Network operators it said "Searching ..." and then listed "AIRVOICE WIRLESS" twice but when I click on either of those it times out after a minute of trying to register the service. But if I hit "Select automatically" it says "Registered on network". This would seem to imply success, but then if I disable wireless and go to the browser it says "No network connection" and tells me to check my settings.
So then I went back to the mobile network settings, clicked on "Access Point Names" and tried to set up the APN. I entered:
Name = "Airvoice Web"
APN = "att.mvno"
Proxy = "66.209.11.33"
Port = "80"
Username = <Not set>
Password = <Not set>
Server = <Not set>
MMSC = <Not set>
MMS proxy = "http://mmsc.cingular.com"
MMS port = 80
MCC = 310
MNC = 410
Authentication type = <Not set>
APN type = internet+mms
Then I hit "save" ... but this still didn't seem to get me connected.
Although in truth I would have been quite surprised if it did since many of my responses above were guesses based on the information AirVoice provided, plust some data they gave me (such as WAP Homepage URL, and MMS Access Name) I couldn't figure out where to enter.
Also the next section "WAP Browser Settings" I couldn't complete at all because at step 4 it says "Select Browser Settings" but I could find no such selection. So I wasn't able to enter any of the data in the WAP browser settings.
So after spending 4 hours on this and not feeling I'm remotely close to success, I'm wondering does everybody have to go thru a similar learning curve, or do I just have a knack for doing the wrong thing. If I call back the Airvoice tech support person tomorrow, is there any chance of success or is my knowledge gap still to great. Or if there is some reason I'm trying to do something that can't be done, please put me out of my misery now.
The other thing I thought of is going to an AirVoice store, but the nearest one is 20 miles away and before doing that I can't do it myself and that it is indeed possible for a more knowledgable person to get this to work. Also would the person at the store would know how to do it. (They handle several networks, so who knows how expert they are in this kind of thing).
Sorry for the very long message, but I had no idea how to describe my problem in a concise way. Thanks in advance if you have any suggestions.

Just thought I should follow up in case someone thinking about buying the international version gets worried by threads such as this one. It turns out customer support at Airvoice was able to tell me exactly what settings to put into my phone (even though the information on their web site was slightly out of date). Then the support person says "ok, now turn off your phone". So not knowing any better I hit the power switch, which just turns off the display. (I think it might have been better for her to say that I should "reboot"). So I still could not get a data connection. Then customer support just punted and said "oh well, you have the international version which isn't really supported". That's annoying, but I guess that is a cop out that they can use. An hour or so after hanging up I did a reboot for no particular reason ... and bingo. Everything worked as expected! Actually, at first I only got 2G but after fiddling with the settings for a while I got 3G to work. I would tell you what I did to make it work if I could remember

I have Droids 3 and 4, both rooted and with up to date stock rom.
Droid3 works okay with Rogers, it connects, 3G icon appeaars and i can work.
Droid4 doesnt, it shows H/3G icon but it doesnt brows for example
I have same APN settings on both, and I'm pretty sure D4 sim has data allowed (on both SIMS Rogers profile shows data addon enabled).
Is it something i must do to make D4 work on Rogers??

I posted in the Bionic on T-Mobil thread but I thought it would be more appropriate to post here since I am trying to connect to Globe Telecom.
I finally was able to unlock the GSM signal on my Droid Bionic.
Currently I am in the Philippines but my Bionic doesn't seem to get a strong signal over 1x through Globe Telecom (Pre-paid).
I tried adding the APN for GPRS and MMS but still no luck. I am not even sure if the APN settings I am using are correct because I've tried many different ones. Can someone give me the correct APN I need for GPRS and MMS?
I cannot receive or send text messages or connect to 3G network
How can I get my Bionic to work completely? I am sick of using my aunts Nokia from the 90s. haha.
When I go into *#*#4636#*#* and look at Phone info it states the following:

If you can figure it out let me know. I'm looking for the settings to be able to use my Bionic on Straight Talk.
I have the same issue with the same country and the same network provider in my Xperia TX.

I'm wondering if I'm the first guy on earth experiencing this problem.
I got an AT&T unlocked HTC One (M7) in the US and brought it with me to Brazil. I introduced the SIM card in it and it worked perfectly for phone calls. However, I can't get the internet access through the network. Brazil only works with 3G at the moment.
I called HTC and they told me to dial *#*#4636#*#* and change the settings for the network under "set preferred network". They told me there would be no guarantee this would work, but I should try.
I tried all the options from WCDMA, CDMA, GSM Only and so on and still could not get the mobile data access.
Right now, internet works only with Wi-Fi. So, he said that I could try finding help on XDA Developers.
So, is there anyone who knows what I should do next?
I wonder if rooting would resolve it, but it seems pretty much a device problem.

It's probably an apn problem. Call your provider and find out what apn you should be using.
Sent from my HTC One
Using 3G network instead of 4G on HTC One
That I had not tried before. Thanks for the tip.
I did now though with the following info for my provider, but unfortunelly still didn't work.
Could it be something with the device that simply, does not work over here?
Name = VIVO Internet
APN = zap.vivo.com.br
Proxy = Não definido
Port = Not set
User = vivo
Password = vivo
Server = Not set
MMSC = Not set
Proxy de MMS = Not set
MMS Port = Not set

That proxy looks weird. Generally proxies are in the form of a website type address.

That just means undefined. There is no proxy.
Alright guys. Thanks for all the help. It was really a APN problem. I called my operator and I was on the right track, but didn't get the Authentification type right.
Everything is working now! Thanks for all the replies!
