I downloaded the t-mobile on and it doesn't work.

I tested them all on my VZW TP2.
Hmmm.... did you have a carrier banner before?
I ask because I have not used a TMO TP2 before so I can't be certain.

well I guess it does I'm not sure directly below the start button in portrait it says 3G T-MOBILE

If would be just opposite that on the right side of the screen, below the taskbar.
Here is a screen capture of a 100% stock 6.1 VZW TP2
Highlighted is what these replace.

Doesnt work on my US Cellular Touch Pro2

so it appears that if you didnt have a carrier banner before, then these wont work.... but gimme some time... i have an idea

Cant wait! Hopefully you can make them work!

ATTNETION AT&T / TELUS / T-MOBILE / US CELLULAR PEEPS:
I need the manila files from US Cellular, AT&T, Telus and T-Mobile stock ROMs.
You can copy these to your computer by connecting with active sync and browsing to \Windows\ on the device. Then sort my file type.
If you are able / willing to do this let me know and I will PM you with my FTP server info so you can upload them in ZIP file format.
Thanks !!!

Doesn't work on Tilt 2 either
The carrier bar replacement doesn't seem to work on my ATT Tilt 2 with the stock rom. Maybe it's a WinMo 6.5 issue?

Nope, not Speed6, but V6 MTX, soon to be supercharged if the kit ever comes out.

Telus TP2
Hello There,
I got the Telus version and I (we) don't have this "picture banner", but only text wrote at top left corner : TELUS
I found out that this can be change in the registry.
\HKLM\SYSTEMS\STATE\PHONE\CURRENT OPERATOR NAME ( telus )
But when you soft reboot the phone the TELUS is back again.
Let me know if you think that the files from mobile\windows\ (manila*) is needed to fix this
Regards,
TP2 telus

The reg edit hack is only to change the carrier name on the upper left. I would like the Manila files so I try to figure out how to get this to show up if you don't already have one. PM if you can send files and I will send you FTP info.

My TP2's unbranded but I'm on T-Mobile - reckon you could get your logos to work with this?

Yeah.. I like it... but she will be 10 years old this month and she is starting to show her age... I think a 3.0L swap is in her future

US HD2 missing 'Set Destination' feature

Has anyone else noticed this? The built-in compass app is supposed to have a 'Set Destination' feature that lets you pick a destination from Google Maps and it will show a dot that you can use to navigate to that. I have a TMO US HD2 and there is no 'Set Destination' button at all. I checked the manual for the US HD2 and even that mentions this feature. What's going on?

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...hts=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=off

Thanks
Thanks for the quick reply Sam. I'll try that cab. I am curious though. It seem the cab was created to restore the compass to a stock one after flashing removed these features.
I just have the Stock TMO US Rom that the phone came with. I haven't flashed it or anything. Wonder if TMO removed this feature. Although I can't imagine why.

Hello misalies,
Did that .cab work?
I am using the stock T-mobile USA HD2 .rom also.
The version on the T-Mobile USA HD2 .rom is:
Digital compass for Pocket PC Version 1.0 (Build 1922.1511)
In the T-Mobile USA HD2 Manual, it shows this picture. I would like mine to be this way too.( #2 GPS Coordinates & #4 Destination Readout)

Did anyone try the cab and get it to work??? I am afraid to try it, but would love to know if it works!! please report back!

Ok, I have installed it on my T-Mo HD2 and....
it works!

I can't even get my compass to work always says magnetic interference.

The cab works but
Yes, I installed the cab and it works. I have the 'Set Destination' button now. But once I pick a location, the dot doesn't stay in one place. It's jerky. Not sure if that was because I was driving though.

Gotta do the figure 8

It has instructions on the screen for that. Move away from a computer or big TV or something like that and move the phone in a figure 8 like it shows. Usually does the trick for me even if I don't move the phone away from anything.

when doing that figure 8 thing, it works better and faster if you do vertical as well as horizontal movements.

I've tried everything, never works.

Where is the cab file at?
I feel retarded but I don't see where the .cab file is so I can download, when I go to those links sam left it only has info on how to install new rom. Any help would be great, thanks!

It would depend on her camera settings. She might have the resolution set to low therefor creating poor pictures.

well its the same thing when i send her a picture from my phone to hers. my camera settings are set to high resolution too...

What are your MMS settings?
Messages>Settings>Maximum message size? I have mine at 1000K
Check to see if yours is set lower and try raising it.

Also, try going to Settings>Wireless & networks>Mobile networks>Access Point Names and make sure those are set like the image below. If not, menu then reset to default.

Not that I can think of. If your settings are correct then everything under advanced should be ok.

I have the same issue, but what i noticed is, like Windows mobile if the picture is to big you can compress it, but unlike windows mobile android does it automaticly and you cant select to which level you want to compress it (low, high, medium, 1024*768 ect...) so its turning a pic thats about 1MB in size to about 60-70KB. is there a way to edit the level of compression?

[Q] MMS problem on tmobile?

Anyone have problems receiving pictures? I'm having a weird problem. I'm using stock messaging app.. Looks like I can send pictures, but have trouble receiving them. In fact, a few times I didn't receive an MMS until I actually sent an MMS back. So I would send a picture and then immediately receive one once I sent mine. Except the one I just received was sent a day earlier. Another time I didn't get one until a few days later. I replied and my friend didn't know what the hell I was talking about.
Only started having this problem on my nexus 4. Everything seemed fine when I was on my old gnex a couple weeks ago. So is it a phone, tmobile or software problem? Anyone have similar issues?

search around here for the proper apn settings. that will fix you up.

Well wouldn't it already be proper apn settings when I inserted my SIM card?

I am having the EXACT same issue. I tried contacting T-Mobile support about they just "reset" my device on the network. It seems to work better now, but I can usually see when someone tries to send me a message. If it doesn't receive, I just send myself a picture and I'll get whatever was sent to me. However I attributed this mostly to being on 2G at home.
How good of signal are you getting and is it 2/3/4G?

nope. i am on att and just fixed a couple people in a dif thread an hour ago. this is your issue. i just dont have the t-mobile apn settings to help you further.

Do as follows and it might help you:
1. Go Settings - Apps - All.
2. Find SMS app.
3. Force close SMS app.
4. Clear data on SMS app.
5. Go APN settings.
6. Do Settings RESET of APN.
7. Reboot.
It worked for me - though I am in a different operator.
What is also important - MMS comes when you are not on WiFi. Only on Data.
Good luck!

Try these settings for your APN.

What exactly are those changes going to do?

To be honest I really do not know. Once I changed to those settings I no longer had issues with MMS and had better speed. They also seemed to help a lot of other people. YMMV

AT&T MMS woes

Ok, so this is really annoying and any help would be appreciated. I am spending the summer in a place where there is no 3G (i know right...) and only edge. Problem is that whenever i try and send a picture it will just sit on sending and nothing will ever happen (besides my battery dying...). I can't seem to get pictures either. The weird thing is that i traveled to somewhere with 3G today (Nashville, TN) and the pictures still didn't send. Now i know Edge is super slow, so i tried sending a small picture, 290 x 343 @ 40KB and that wouldn't send either, so file size is not the problem. Also i have tried both of these APNs, XDA and Reddit with no luck. Please don't be useless and recommend checking my APN settings because i have already done that multiple times unless you have a different one that works. I am on a postpaid ATT iPhone 5 (LTE) plan. Thank you for any useful replies. Possibly throw some BTC to whoever helps me resolve this.
Edit: Also I would like to make clear that data works while on edge, just not MMS.

First, you are on the wrong plan. You should be on the non iPhone, non LTE smartphone plan. I'm not sure if that is making a difference, but second, did you try the apns I posted in that xda thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40899440

A) There is nothing wrong with being on an LTE plan, that's how so many people got their LTE to work. Secondly the iPhone portion should be find since the data works, it's the MMS that doesn't and MMS is a standard. I will try those APN settings and report back shortly.
EDIT: Tried your APN settings, same thing, stuck on sending since i replied to your post.

I pretty much figured that because the plans should be backward compatible. It may not make difference which plan you have, but AT&T sure makes a big deal about it. If those apns didn't work for you, then it is unlikely you have an apn issue. MMS is not hard to get working. You can use the two apn setup I provided or one of the single apns and as long as you have MMS in the apn type, it should work. Just make sure you are entering EXACTLY as it should be, or it will not work. Idk if AT&T will assist you since you have an unsupported device, but if you call them, the first thing they are gonna do is switch your plan. Are you rooted or not? Have you tried a factory reset.

Yes and yes, the problem arose when i arrived in this place with Edge only, previously my phone had never seen Edge. Nothing will send on edge, and when i traveled to Nashville yesterday the items still didn't send nor did any new ones even though i was connected to 3G. I doubt it is an APN problem since it was working (somewhat) fine in SLC.

Ok so something weird, it seems the problem is with my texting app. Lightflow will flash the LED signalling I received an MMS, and i will get a notification in the web portal for mighty text saying the same thing, but from my phone nothing is shown. Any ideas? Currently reflashing the latest version of PA Gapps.

Just curious, did you "delete / cancel" the stuck MMS messages, before trying to send new ones?
I have seen issues with this in the past.

Yes, i deleted the previous messages before attempting to send again.

So i reflashed gapps and all the messages people tried to send me showed up with a button to download the content, but every time I click on it it fails. Pictures still won't send as well. Also there is a new icon to the right of "sending".

Just reflashed stock and pictures seem to be sending fine, not sure though yet, and haven't been able to get anyone to send me one yet, this is with the stock APN settings. Gonna change to the ones listed here (the ones i was using) and we will see how that goes. And yes this thread will be bumped all to hell until this is resolved.

Flashed stock, and changed APN settings to the ones i was previously using, and MMS is fully functional now. Though this we have concluded that the problem MIGHT lie with PA. Going to attempt a completely clean flash of PA and i will report the results.
