I bought a Verizon S7 at a good price and trying to use it on T-mobile. After buying it I rooted the phone, applied the patches discussed on the forum, updated the APN setting to align with T-mobile's APN and everything seems fine except for MMS. Does anyone know what could be the issue. I'm getting 4G-LTE through T-mobile and voice, regular sms seems to be working just fine. What am I missing here guys? Anyone had this issue before?
Try using a mms app from the play Store and see if you can send one from it. That way you can see if it's a network problem or a app problem.

Why not flash the Tmobile firmware?
I tried downloading a different MMS app from the market, but that doesn't seem to be helping.

Yes. Download U firmware then flash it then download the current version of Tmobile firmware then flash that and profit. Make sure both bootloaders are the same level.

I've tried various APN settings in an attempt to get MMS working on Wind Mobile, but have had no luck.
Anyone have confirmed working settings for Wind?
Is Auto Internet setting working in your phone? My unit came with grayed out Auto Internet setting, so I flash the firmware to UK Generic, and that fixed it...

No, says its not available with my sim.
The first comment on this Wind Mobile community board thread has both data & MMS settings. They're talking about the N1 but the X10 if not the same should be close enough to be able to figure out where the settings go.

Tried it. Still no go.
Have you contacted Wind? I am sure someone there will reach out and help you! Or contact Mcanns he seems to have an inside line there..

Dude same here! I got an unlocked g2 and data works fine but not mms.
I tried so many different variations of settings floating around and even wind couldn't fix it for me.
Don't know what to do now. Maybe gonna go into a store...
I had to switch from TMobile to At&t for work reasons. I got the Samsung Focus on At&t and I love it, but I flashed Android on my HD2 hoping that I would have the best of both worlds: a WP7 and an Android phone equivalent to the Inspire 4G.
The good news is that when I put my At&t SIM Card on my HD2, it registers and says At&t, and the data works fine (EDGE, but nothing is perfect, i knew that 3G was not going to work because of the different frequencies At&t and TMobile use), the bad news is that I'm not able to make or receive calls or texts.
Anyone has any idea how to make the HD2 with Android work on At&T?
Please ignore the part of my sig where it says that i'm running windows mobile, although i'm willing to flash it if that is the solution, but i want to play with Android for a while.
Any help will be appreciated!
Cheers!
You will have to unlock the phone. Call T_Mobile and they can generate a unlock code for you.
My phone is unlocked... any other ideas?
Did you go to Settings/Mobile Networks/Network Operators/Search Networks and choose AT&T as your carrier? In the same menu, you can Select Automatically so that you don't have to manually choose which carrier is available in your area.
AT&T is the only carrier that shows up whether i select it manually or automatically.

That's strange. Seeing your moniker and knowing you were on T-Mobile, it should also show up. Since your phone is unlocked like mine, I used to be on AT&T and would see both carriers when I did a search of the airwaves. Did you check your APN settings so that they are set up for AT&T?
Here's the link to the ATT APN thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=692059
Hope this works for you.

I will try this when i get home tonight. I also thought that both of them would show up. but strangely only AT&T shows up. It's weird that data works fine, though...
Thanks for your help. I will post back with the results tonight...

Nothing worked, so I flashed windows mobile and now everything works fine (except 3g, of course). I guess it is something with Android. I'm sure someone will figure it out...
Thanks for the help, though.
try a different rom. might be the rom you're using... try an unofficial cyanogenmod7 rom and flash with cwm.
Same Problem
I have the same problem with my HD2. It's been flashed to gingerbread 2.3.6 and unlocked. I can get data, but I can't make calls or send texts. I'm wondering if you fixed yours! If so, I'd really appreciate it if you could help me out
I didn't notice this before but I'm able to send SMS and receive them just not MMS - today a friend sent a pic and I could not open it. Carrier is Verizon not sure if that matters because I'm seeing others have the same issue with other carriers.
Messenger or google messenger doesn't download them either.
Is there anything I can do?
Thanks

Any problems with MMS. no matter what phone or rom, always ALWAYS triple check your APN. A phone call to Verizon will verify if you have the correct APN and make sure there isn't problems on their end.

& remember that Verizon "thinks" it is Roaming (although not), so insure you have your MMS settings set appropriately

OK so... I had to factory reset my phone and right away had issues... tried to send a text message and it didn't work. So I went through the steps of setting the APN up. But it hasn't worked.
I've done the whole thing with using a GSM sim to get the + and add APN...but nothing.
Anyhow, I was hoping someone can tell me the latest APN settings for Verizon. Perhaps they have changed. I'm just getting really cheesed off with all of this and nothing seems to be working. I love this phone but this is just getting on my nerves now.
Please help thanks

These are the APN values I'm using on Verizon postpaid: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68263623&postcount=61
Thanks!
I'm using pre paid will that make a difference?
I was having a bad day yesterday. Im in the right mind to get this fixed now.

Should be the same values for Verizon Prepaid (different if you're on a Verizon MVNO). Did you make sure to enable Data Roaming?

Neither on wifi nor cellular will it check for update. I get the error "sorry, we are having trouble authenticating your device"
Any idea how to fix this ?
wondering the same :/ anyone have anything?
see my post here. besides flashing the t-mobile ummm rom I guess over it, you won't be able to update. I've tried samsung and t-mobile and the only thing that will work besides that is to borrow a sim from a friend and use that... https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/best-buy-screw-t3594359/page2

will not work because system updates are coming from carrier and having a tmobile sim in a verizon phone means verizon will not allow you to connect to their update server...

Thats not the case. I am using vzw GS8 on att and I receive updates fine
Well I'm confused then. I was able to do the last update with a t-mobile Sim in the phone? Right now when I try checking for updates it errors out saying it couldn't be authenticated. Anyone have any clue?
Hope I can help you!

you wont be able to updated through wifi or LTE unless you use a verizon SIM but you can do it easily using your computer and samsung smart switch.

Try to get at least an inactivated Verizon sim card from any Verizon store or you can also try a normal working Verizon sim. I had AT&T Galaxy S5 and it needed the carrier's sim card to even check for update. I took the sim, put it in, checked for update and was able to install it.
Fix to your issue
Hey guys so I do also share the same situation, I have a Verizon s8+ yet I have T-Mobile One as my coverage
Because it's not authenticated as a Verizon provided account it simply won't update
Now.. the solution to updating isn't directly on your device.
It's within the Samsung Smart switch App for either Mac or windows, you can run an update through there with little to no problems at all and finally keep your device up to date without having to return it for an unlocked one.
Just a brief note regarding the smart switch App, keep in mind that sometimes the update will freeze at a certain percentage on the computer so just be sure to close the app out only if your Samsung device hasn't received the green upload screen yet.
Hopefully this helps out alot of you guys ?
Best regards

I'd like to flash mine to t mobile, I'm begging you to help me with this!!!
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
I've seen a bunch of info on the forums on how to flash the T-Mo ROM on an s8 - as well as flashing the Samsung Unlocked ROM on the s8 but frankly, almost all the threads are from back at the phone launch - and it is unclear to me which roms & programs to search for.
In a similar vein - I'm a noob to the whole process using oden - which I think is what i would need to use. I have experience from years ago running cyanogen mods on a nook tablet and messing with windows phones - but nothing recent and things have changed a lot.
I've read conflicting reports throughout the forums on doing this...
I'm running a VZW Branded (but it's now "unlocked")
Model: s8 SM-G-950U
Build #: NRD90M.G950USQS2BQL1
Baseband #: G950USQS2BQL1
What I'm looking for (really the right word is "NEED"):
Access to lower 700 A block (full band 12 use)
Ability to get OTA Updates
Mobile Hotspot Functionality
WiFi Calling
VoLTE
Bixby
If I could have these all running the Samsung Unlocked ROM - then that would be preferred...
If not - I would want to flash the T-Mobile ROM.
I need to know ASAP as I only have 14days from today (2/14/18) to figure this out or go back to VZW
Many thanks!

Was working fine before update.
I'm on Verizon, but since 10 it's identifying as Sprint.
Anyone else with this issue?
Any thoughts to resolve? Aside from reboot, of course.

Verizon Messages app is only way I've found to get MMS to work on VZW and this phone
Hmm. Def need more info but start by posting the apns your devices are using. I've never had an issue w mms whatsoever. Actually no, once I did but only bc I forgot to enable wifi texting on my MVNO carrier Mint Sim which is TMOBILE based.
