Need a little bit of help with MMS reciving and sending on my Unlocked AT&T Atrix which is on O2 UK.
I've setup all the APN's as specified on a few threads on Google for it, but I cannot download them. I get the notification, but when downloading it just errors with "Text message not received".
Any ideas on this one as O2 don't seem to provide a setting download service for Android phones via the SIM Card or other means.
Thanks
Andy
I Have problem with mms and simunlocked atrix too.. But not with O2!
Anyone with simunlocked atrixegot mms working? ..
I want only mms , and NOT Internet.
Internet charges for me are insane!!!!!!!!!

Does this problem only affect sim unlocked atrix's only? I'm using a Rogers sim card with an Unlocked Bell Atrix and I can't receive MMS. They send fine though.
I have an Orange UK unlocked Atrix running on Three UK, flashed with the French retail firmware.
I didn't even have to configure any APNs for anything, data or MMS. They self populated.
I sent an MMS to myself and it sent and received just fine.

I have searched and read the wiki but I couldn't find an answer which I'm sure has been asked before:
If I get an unlocked G1, do I need a T Mobile (UK) sim? I appreciate sim unlocking it means it should accept any sim but are there any features that only require the T Mobile network connection. I presume it won't update any more if I leave it on Vodafone for example?

No, you don't.
Any SIM with data plan will work just fine, only you'll need to add APN manually and you will not be able to use OTA updates.
I've bought about week ago G1 in sealed T-Mobile box, but it was unlocked and i put my O2 SIM and during activation entered data for O2 APN and got i work without any problems.
Actually you will still get the OTA updates even if you arent on tmobile. Google sends out the updates so all you need is some form of data connection, wifi or via your provider.
I have a Xperia X10a from Rogers, unlocked but still branded. I placed my bell sim card in and while I do have the signal bars I do not have the 3G or Bell banner on the handset. Do I need to debrand the handset so I can?
Thanks a bunch!
Nope - you'll just need to configure the APN's for data/ MMS access... see here...

I was wondering, if I was to order a SIM unlocked Samsung Focus from america (there are a few on ebay) would I have any problems using it in the UK?
As far as I can tell it has the same GSM bands as UK phones, but I am wondering why it wasnt launched in the UK?
I think you will have trouble configure MMS for use with your own network of choice (known issue and seems no solution so far). Also, it may or may not support the 3G frequency depending on which band your carrier uses (Focus only supports 2100Mhz band outside of US).
In UK, you should just order the Ominia 7. Same phone (and looks better than Focus, IMO) sans the SD card slot. But with the amount of trouble of getting any SD card to work reliably with Focus, you might jsut forget about it ever had a SD slot in the first place.
I ordered mine to Norway from ebay. Everything but MMS works perfect, and the MMS issue can be fixed with an app from the Samsung Zone in the Marketplace which allows you to change the settings that at&t have hidden away.
I got the Samsung Focus recently and I'm using it on Vodafone UK. I notice that sometimes despite the phone saying full 3G there's no connection and I have to reboot the phone to get a data connection. Anyone else had this?
I have an unlocked Focus too... for those that have successfully got the 3G to connect - what tarriffs are you on, and how did you get it setup??
Cheers
Samsung Focus in the UK
I have a Samsung Focus from Ebay. I have unlocked the phone from fastgsm which was instant and simple to do.
I have the internet and 3g working fine so far by simply adding the Vodafone APN settings in the menu. I haven;t tried mms messages but don;t really use them anyway but think they should work if you use the samsung app for configuring the phone fromt he store.
Just a quick comment. I can;t get the radio to pickup much. I have changed the region to International but I am still getting a terrible signal although I do get some stations they are quickly lost if you move at all. Any help?
^^ I have the same problem with the radio. Unlocked via FastGSM.
howdy. I've got an unlocked focus on vodafone pay as you go SIM; they can't seem to give me any APN etc settings that allows the internet to work. Do you mind me asking what you've entered into yours??

Desperately need Wifi calling so I bought a US T-mobile T999. (works beautifully for US T-mob sim card)
How to get it working on Orange UK simcard??
I am happy to share files if you guys need copies etc to try and get this working.
On Wednesday I will be cutting my UK Orange sim (works with wifi calling beautifully blackberry) and popping it the S3 to see if it works.
I think I need to put UK settings somewhere, but I don't know where?
Any developers want to help? Am happy to upload USA T-mobile Wifi Calling Files
You need to unlock it.. and if you Google it you can setup WiFi calling on any ROM.

Wifi calling is carrier dependent, only ONE carrier per country has it, in the US it is T-Mobile USA, in the UK it is Orange. Wifi calling routes your cellular call through the internet. It is not about setting Gmail, or SIP Calls etc.
AT&T for example, does not have that capability.

Just tried UK orange sim on Unlocked SG3 T999.... No luck 'sim error' I need to find a way to change routing of the calls as we do on blackberries. Any clues?
I have the Verizon model of the S6 Edge+ (SM-G928V) I want to know if it's possible to flash it with the t-mobile rom??
I currently have a T-mobile MicroSIM that i put into the verizon phone. I had to configure it with the t-mobile APN to get calls/text to work. Currently I have a few issues:
1) I can make & receive calls, send & receive texts, but CANNOT send mms, but i can recieve mms sent to me. (I tried to see if enabling wifi would make a difference but it doesn't)
2) I get an annoying message anytime the phone reboots that says I'm not using a verizon wireless SIM. (if anyone knows how to get rid of that, great. if not it's not such big of a deal)
3) How to remove the Verizion boot loading screen??
Do I run the risk of bricking or tripping knox if i try to use a t-mobile rom on a verizion phone? Or does anyone know how to resolve any of the issues i'm having? Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance. (and No, just getting the t-mobile version of phone is not an option for me)

You cannot rom that phone because Verizon nazis lock all bootloaders on all their devices. As for the sending mms you'll probably need to take it to a t-mobile store and have them sim unlock and flash their full apn. That should do it but I can't say for sure since I've never used a Verizon phone on t-mobile
So just to update: The issue with not being able to send mms messages is because of the Message+ app that was set as default messaging app (factory reset setting). When I changed the messaging app to the "Messages" Samsung app I'm able to send&receive mms with no issues. (Please note the proper APN settings must be set)
The other issues such as the loading screen and the SIM notification I'm not too worked about, but if you have any help on those that should be great.
The only *real* issues with using t-mobile sum card with vzw phone is that the service isn't all that great, I seem to have 3g in some areas where I can't send mms while on the phone, but other than that it works well on an unlocked phone.

I believe the radios in verizon phones don't cover all the band's that t-mobile uses. However t-mobile phones tend to run pretty well on Verizon so your signal issues will continue until t-mobile launches band 12 in your area, which is the primary band that Verizon uses for Lte
Samsung lists band 12 on their site for the Verizon S6e+.
Swipe left or right to get rid of the SIM message. I've posted a similar thread here too.
