I have Metro and I believe that to get the MMS working, you only need to have the service active. From what I have read, the Instinct is MMS capable. Call Metro and ask them to add the service to the account.

hey guys
i was wondering if anyone in the US has got their i780 working perfectly with ATT service. i am unable to get 3g and also i am unable to receive MMS. well i recieve mms, but the message is blank. im wondering if there was any specific steps i need to take to have them activated. i searched all over, but all the solutions seem to be only for the UK and singapore. any help is appreciated. thanks.
also i am using a stock rom.
sgh-i617
i had to call att to get my phone working correctly, it was on their end. They have to set up their end to work with a pda.

Your ability to get 3g will depend on if the phone supports the frequency american 3g is on. A lot of foreign phones don't
I had a hard time getting to cell me a data package too for my phone since I bought it unlocked. The a holes act like "if its not ours we cant guarantee it will work!" then they wouldn't cell me a data package except the crappy medianet one (I should have been dishonest and taken it, would saved $15 a month for the same service). Called back, got a different rep, gave him the IMEI number, told him it was a PDA, went smoothly.
k all you guys out there with the att fuze , can u guys answer me a question, are u able to do video sharing like the guy on the commercials that att has been putting lately. "This is how i Fuze" i have an xperia and would like to know what the settings are to let my phone access these functions (mms too please.) sucky to not use atts full potential .
thanks
you have to pay for video sharing

1. You have to have the program on your device, best thing to do there is get Video share program. I will try later on my X1 when I have some free time. You can get the program here, and try for yourself.
2. You can only use the service on ATT's 3G network
3. Unless you have the X1a U.S.A. version it will not work. Most people have the X1i. How to tell?....
4. The AT&T 3g bands are 850/1900mhz
Check the FCC label under the battery,
on the upper left if it reads:
FCC ID = PY7A3880001
then your phone is X1i
If it reads PY7A3880002
then it is X1a
As far as your MMS question, that's simple just put the requires settings in.
cool i got the x1a , so ill give it a try, do if you wanna try back and fourth pm me ill give u my number
Hey henvanvo,
Did you ever get video share to work? I'm also using X1a on AT&T and I've installed the AT_T_Video_Share.CAB posted by Da_G, but no go. AT&T tech support didn't recognize my IMEI and couldn't help. Just wondering if you've had any luck.

Do you have the us version? did you read my previous post?
Just spoke with the tech support department at tmobile... They say the tab will do voice but it has had the software removed from the build... Can someone please pull the phone apk and the phone utility apk from a euro build so we can test it on wednesday when it comes out. Hopefully this will solve the issue of no voice. He also confirmed it has all for gsm radios onboard and will work with the standard android data plan... Heres hoping...
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Hells yeah!
XDA GO GO GO GO GO GO !!
Just came back from demoing the Tab at my local tmobile store. It does use a standard sim. However the update is this: in the apps management screen, it seems that the only thing missing is the actual phone apk. The phone utility apk is there and the contacts apk is there. It looks like we just need the phone apk and then possibly the contacts merge apk to get voice enabled. Anyhow, the phone is being released at 11am pst tomorrow in my town, mine is on reserve so I will have it by 11:05am pst. anyone who wants to guide me into activating voice on this baby, send me a message and i will be happy to assist with trying some methods out.
I will need to try the following apk's from the euro version:
phone.apk
contactsmerge.apk
oh, the local reps looked on the computer and said that this device WILL require a webconnect data plan, not the unlimited android. There is a work around though... with voice enabled, you can call tmobile and ask for a tech support supervisor, open a trouble ticket and request an engineer to change your device ip range to that of a smartphone... then data and voice should work together. I had this problem on my aws version of the dell streak and it fixed it using unlimited voice and unlimited android data plans.

i would appreciate any help you can give me. i tried pushing a modified phone.apk that was on this forum but with no success. i put my nexus sim card in there and when i launched my browser i was able to go to google.com and do a websearch. but when i clicked on a link i was sent to a tmobile site with a 404 error. not the same error that you get when u try to use a $10 data plan on a mytouch (it says u need to upgrade ur plan). it was an actual 404. but i am actually using the $10 data plan on my nexus, but since i was able to go to google.com i think theres away around this.

Why don't you just flash it with the EURO firmware??

Is it known for sure that the hardware is identical? If not, I'd say that might be a good reason. This could lead to reversed buttons, inability to get into hardware, recovery mode, etc. Also, the system dates would likely display backwards from from the US does it too. Just my 2 cents.
It seem a much better idea to just pull what you want from a system dump of the euro firmware.
can someone please post these apk so we the U.S can work on calls thank you
I second that request... the guy I was working with yesterday and I were stopped at loading the phone apk as well...
Does anyone know if anyone else (anywhere) is working on a fix? I've googled and googled with not much success.
jdmadonna... all of the Euro firmwares are posted on samfirmware.com ... have you checked there?
I loaded the phone.apk onto the tab after rooting it with z4root. Then using root explorer. It loaded fine... but then a really wierd thing happened. The tab vibrated every couple of seconds and kept showing the message : android.phone has stopped working. This kept happening over and over. Finally I turned off the tab, and rebooted... that's when all hell broke loose... lost the network provider and lost the whole baseband on the tab. Nothing would bring it back... bricked the tab. I took it back today, will wait for more to come in stock and for a REAL developer to figure out how to bypass this problem... sorry guys, I tried... and it killed the tab!!

Sorry you bricked your tab :|.
I wished you would have tried to flash the Euro firmware before taking it back to see what happens as it was already bricked.
If the euro firmwares are flashable on the T-mobile model, voice should work just fine.
Geez jdmadonna.... WHAT a drag... I admire you trying...
I'm hoping some developer somewhere is working on this...
I made the decision today that I'm just not going to pay ~$1000 for the Euro Tab in order to get a phone... I love the tab.... but $599 tmo off-contract is all I can justify... I can afford more, but will not spend more.
So... if we can't get the t-mo working with phone... it's going back...
effing greedy US carriers who didn't want to "cut into their smartphone sales"...
thx again for trying... will they replace it?
btw... was that the Euro version phone.apk?

You didn't brick your galaxy tab. All you had to do is push the original files back. I pushed a modified phone.apk and got constant crashes. I made a backup of the original, you should always make a backup.

I'm having this exact same issue. Straight Talk seems to be stumped and I've been spending days and days researching yet no luck!
What service do you use ( BYOP sim Verizon,AT&T, T-Mobile...)?
Been seeing alot of reviews on this service from Verizon so decided to give it a shot and trade in an old phone and get there zte r2 with there unlimted service. Let's just say the device is garbage so I tried popping the sim in my unlocked essential phone. I already know that visible only supports a select few devices but I was curious. It did not work even with there app installed(phone service in a app). I was able to get it to work by adding the visible apn to my apn-config file and spoofing a certain device number. Now mobile data works but cant make or receive calls and text. Any ideas?
I signed up and got the S9. The service is excellent. I switched over many family members. My only complaint is they haven't yet enabled WiFi calling for Android (iPhone works) or conditional call forwarding (YouMail and PhoneFusion).

They only have wifi calling on the visible r2 at the moment. I have one lol its garbage to say the least but I use it as a hotspot only phone for my ps4
Yes. It's garbage but it's cheap. Free with a swap and currently $19 to buy. For the cost it's pretty damn good.
