Help with X!i on ATT

Couple of questions for those using the X!i on ATT.
I'm here in Atlanta and I always get full 3G so this phone rocks.
1) I want to setup Medi.net as my Homepage in Opera, how do I do that?
2) I also want to access CV (Cellular Video), whats the URL?
3)I take it 3G video calling must be a network enabled feature, I have a lot of friends in the UK but cant initiate video calling from here, not even 1 one video.

Calls sent to Voicemail if Data is Active

I have an unlocked Hero on the o2 network in the UK.
I have been noticing that a lot of calls are diverting straight to voicemail without ringing. It appears that this occurs while in a 2G Network Area.
2G Networks cannot cope with both Data and Voice calls at the same - so if, as you would expect on a "Smart Phone", a data connection is active - i.e. Push Email, Updating Twitter, Facebook or streaming Radio - then you are unable to receive calls!
This is not an issue on a 3G Network.
I have read that a phone should be able to terminate the Data connection if a Phone Call is coming through. It would appear that the HTC Hero does not do this - incidentally I have read of similar issues on the iPhone.
Has anyone found any solution to this? Is there anyway to ensure that the Data Connection IS terminated when necessary?
Thanks in advance.

bump for the Sunday crowd...

It's not the phone that terminates the connection, it's the network. When it knows it needs to route a call to a phone which has an active data connection, it should terminate the data connection, or at least suspend it (HTC's are capable of this if commanded) and then route the call through.
Networks that route through to voice mail without ringing are not doing this, they are simply routing straight to voice mail without bothering to try and contact the phone.
Nothing you can do about it apart from keeping data turned off whenever you are not using it.

"Unlocked" Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 to Tmobile switch - cannot send text messages

"Unlocked" Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 to Tmobile switch - cannot send text messages
Please! HELP!!
I switched from Verizon to Tmobile and my stupid phone updated to Lollipop 5.0.1 and now I can't send text messages without calling Tmobile and having them send a signal to reprovision my phone EVERY time after it reboots (which I have to do EVERY day now that bluetooth sucks so hard and randomly stops all the time in Lollipop).
Before I accidentally hit the button to update, my phone would show my Verizon voicemails waiting in the notification area and say "No Service" until I called my voicemail and let it disconnect, to which effect it would seem to go to no signal to nothing to HSDPA to plus to 4G LTE and BAM! I'd be on Tmobile able to send texts and all (before which I could NOT send texts, but COULD receive them (IIRC), and make phone calls (WITHOUT dial tones being accepted (which seemed to be fixed in Lollipop by selecting long press tones in the phone settings), and I COULD browse the web, etc.).
NOW, that little workaround does NOT work anymore and I have to call Tblowbile to send that magical signal to my phone (which doesn't seem to take all the time for all people for some reason).
I DO have the APN entered correctly (as stated on their website) and setting the phone to and from global to global/lte/gsm and selecting tmobile as the mobile network in the settings does NOT work.
I GUARANTEE it is that stupid GRAYED OUT Verizon APN that I CANNOT remove that is causing ALL these problems (given the nature of the phone post-reboot on KitKat).
PLEASE, tell me how to delete that stupid VZW APN or how to downgrade to KitKat or of another workaround other than having to call the deceptive, bait and switch company that is Tmobile EVERY time!
I'M DESPERATE!
PLEASE, HELP!

You can't. The bootloader is locked on Verizon, which prevents root. They've also apparently blocked access to the APNs in firmware.
Your options? Head to the XDA Verizon S4 forums and check out their various guides.
P.S. T-Mobile is not pulling a bait and switch here. They are providing you with service, which is what you paid for. They have no control over the OTA function of the device. Unless you have proof that T-Mobile is baiting and switching, your comment is slanderous/libelous.

Custom roms and video call (over network, not internet)

Hi. I am currently on LineageOS. It is great but I realized I can't make or receive a video call (over the network). Internet video calls work fine, but that is not what I want. Is there any custom rom with support of video call over network that I can switch to?
Thanks.

Searching for Service can only connect to 4G LTE

Hey guys! I'm hoping someone here can help me. I just recently got a Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus (Verizon) and it will only connect to 4G LTE (data only) I can't access my SIM card's phone number or messaging services. Which is kind of fine because I use Google Voice for my calls and messages, but my banking app won't use my GV number for verification reasons and fraud alerts.
I'm on Straight Talk Verizon towers, and the phone will only connect to data. I can't use the phone number that is assigned to me through S.T. which normally I wouldn't care because like I said I use Google Voice for everything. But my banking app will not recognize my Google Voice number to verify things, so that's what I use the number assigned to me from Straight Talk for. This phone has had all kinds of connectivity issues since I got it.
It says "searching for service" while connected to 4G LTE. All I get is data. No phone calls or text messages from the number assigned to me through Straight Talk. If I pop my SIM card into a different phone, I don't have these issues. I can access that phone number, calls & messaging as well.
I'm hoping someone here can help me.
Thank You!
