I have a Sprint L720 Galaxy S4 that I am currently using with Metro PCS/T-Mobile. I have the correct APN settings, I can make and receive calls just fine. I can send texts and MMS just fine and receive texts as well. I can not receive MMS messages or texts with picture attachments.
I looked in the ##DATA# menu or ##3282# menu as I have my MSL number. If anybody here has used the L720 or Galaxy S5 with T-Mobile/MetroPCS can you please give me your working settings from the data menu?
I looked through the entire data menu and it is filled with Sprint.com this and sprint/mms/server that etc. I tried changing the most obvious things to T-Mobile's settings, but I know I am missing the crucial settings to allow me to send and receive texts with photo attachments. I tried the METROPCS fix here in the forums for the L720, but the files give errors when installing. I am certain that manually entering the settings from someone else's phone will work. There are a lot of settings in the ##DATA# menu, but it would take maybe five minutes to copy them down.
I would really appreciate it if anyone could give me their working info. T-Mobile said they simply do not have time to look those up as the data menu is too specific. The phones in the stores are not rooted not do they have the dialer app installed to get me to the data menu.
Thank you very much.

Go to Mobile network settings and go to SMSC Settings and put in +13123149810 click update. This number is for ATT US. Try looking up your SMSC Android settings on your carrier and putting it in andn hopefully it works. If not try restarting and see if it works then. Make sure u have all of your APN settings setup for your carrier 2.

I upload my APN for AT&T, (Update) Should be able to send and receive pictures and video to and from people for At&t only!
Download ApnManager From Market.
Put ApnManager Folder in to the internal sdcard.
Open ApnManager and click resort APN. See if u can now send and receive, If not try restarting.
My old APN had Custom Tethering that messed up Picture Messaging! You can try deleting that if u can't send or receive pictures!
For GSM handsets, the SMSC number is actually stored on the SIM card. The handset should update from the SIM to correctly display the SMSC.
Also, a universal instruction for all GSM Android phones to verify or change the SMSC is to dial *#*#4636#*#*, select Phone Info, and scroll down to SMSC. You can refresh to see what's already there and update the SMSC if it's incorrect.
Not trying to threadcrap, just wanted to make sure you had this info!
Thx

Hi everyone. I purchased a sanyo incognito phone, successfully activated it and followed a guide i found here on how to pfash evo to Boost Mobile. I followed all steps without any problem. Did a copy o all correct nv items, copy of nam from donor phone to evo. I successfully zeroed all location (flashed to RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.29.651.5_Radio_2.15.00.09.01_NV_1.77_CNV_release_150224_signed and then unrevoked3), did restart and found at ##786# all zeroes in mein and esn. Then successfully write donor MEID (esn was generated correctly and writed by itself). Then i put HA and AAA passwords into the phone.
What i've got now - is fully working internet with 3g (i'm not sure, but speed sems to be pretty fast), however voice and text messaging are not working. Text messaging showing error code 97 class 2, and when I'm trying to call someone i got a srange message from operator (i believe from sprint) - i attached it.
The only thing happen strange to me - when i tried to write all aaa and ha passwords with 0 profile in QPST Service Programming andter flashing it whowes me an error something like ESN has been changed or something.. However i found this on google and somebody wrote that i shouldn't worry about that - all information was written successfully.
In settings about the phone i see next information:
MEID: donors meid
Phone number: correct phone number as on the donor
IMSI: some numbers?
current username: boost mobile user name
prl 60683'baseband 2.15.00.01.01
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be gratefully appreciated! I just don't know what to do - i didn't find similar problem on the whole internet! Maybe i was looking wrong?
Thanks for everyone in advance.
and here what I've got in QXDM after writing correct meid into the EVO - check attached picture
should DIAG TX items be zeroes?

Have you done a factory reset, and re-input the ha aaa passwords. And all other info in service programming? Had to do it with two phones cause i counldnt receive incoming calls or texts. After a factory reset. Then the fresh write, all worked. I cancelled the ota but let it kick in after final reboot. Might be worth a try.

If Sprint is saying Error Code 16 Switch number whatever and is calling a representative. Your EVO has been flagged. You'll need to let the call go thru answer their identity questions about your Boost account and they will clear it. I just did it 2 days ago. NOTHING else will clear the code 16, ONLY a Sprint Security Specialist can clear it. After they reset your Boost account the voice will work.
Hooray! I did it! It works now! Thank you everyone, and especially Dean_L. Next time when i called any number the system transfered to a representative who asked me a few questions about my account and then reset it for me. Now the phone calling is working. However text message still not working. Trying to resolve that problem now. Thanks again
Fixed problem with text messaging by calling customer service. They asked me what is the phone I'm using and i said Incognito - lie, but it worked!
The only thing left - is the MMS messages. I can recieve them, but can't send! Running miui latest rom. I changed MMS apn http://mm.myboostmobile.com (through voice dialer "Open A P N"), but no luck. Is any suggestions on this? Thanks.
Finally i found the fix. It's already been here, but i will post it again. The way to send MMS is to install Go SMS Pro from the market (it's free) and change in settings different mmsc address. The "Open A P N" method is not working. Or i installed SexynSmooth rom, which is sense rom and change mmsc by dialing ##DATA# - and it worked great for me. ANd exen long text messages works too (on miui they not working, unless you install gosmspro and change settings in it to manually partition them).
I love MIUI rom - so far it's the best one, but i don't want to use those forsk like installing different apps and not gonna be able to send long text messages. Hope they will change it in future versions and will app manual mmsc to their application.
Hi There,
I have rooted verizon S5 with GV.
Just switched to use Hangout instead of GV for sms. SMSs are working fine, however, MMSs are not working. I can send, but can't receive. I was hoping to change APN, however, when I change APN in hangout, it is not get saved and if I don't have an option to change APN in the phone settings.
Please advise...

Just got my 950XL and it is all set and working under T-Mobile for voice and LTE data. I have two things left to work. The most important being basic MMS. I have entered all the T-Mobile settings on their website at support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090 and data started up however the MMS or group texting isn't working? I have standard texting working but if I try attaching a picture it fails to transmit and if I receive a MMS picture it doesn't download it. Any help would be appreciated.
The other issue I need to setup next is to get visual voicemail. I read that YouMail and ISeeVM works well for the 950XL.
I just got my 950XL and I didn't have to any additional setup. The phone has a t-mobile setting that uploaded automatically and even though it shows no MMS setting my MMS still works. Also for visual voicemail, I just had to toggle the switch and it took a few seconds but it got configured on its own I believe. I may not fully understand visual voicemail but I get my list of vm messages and I don't have to dial any number or press any numbers, i just click and I can hear them.
VVM works, MMS required APN tweak for me

I had to enter the MMS settings for a general Windows phone from the T-Mobile website, and MMS just started working for me. I can post my settings if you're still stuck?
VVM is fixed, .218 for sure, and the other "release preview" build before that, MS release this around Feb.
