I read through all the suggested threads but didn't get a clear answer on my problem, so no lmgtfy...
I have a mytouch on tmobile and am able to turn off data, but still receive MMS.
Problem: I have a Infuse on ATT, when I turn the data off and receive a MMS it just sits there and says downloading - so I enable Data and it still sits there for hours and says downloading, I am not able to download the MMS. I have a data plan on t mobile and am aware that it works fine if I have data on all the time (which drains the battery like crazy).
My question, is there not an automatically turn on and off mode if you receive a MMS option, or at least a redownload/cancel option after I turn on the data?
Thanks in advance!
Im not sure on stock ROM but yeah many custom ROMS have options for MMS.
You probably just have to go into Advanced settings and adjust to your needs.

Also check If your APN for MMS is correct since your on T-mobile and some roms dont Auto adjust APNs
(Where??
1.-Setting---Wireless--->network--->Access point names
2.-Input your T.mobile APN data
You dont know it? call T-mobile and ask for it)

On mytouch it works fine, thats on miui
The Infuse is the problem, and I am on stock ATT android, fresh out the box... thats where I need help...
On ALL ATT phones that I have ever had REQUIRED data to be on, stupid, I know.
It's been like that from the days of my 8525, Tilt 2, Iphone 4, and Infuse. I think it's something with ATT, because all my phones were modded and IP4 was fully JB with custom IOS and when I turned data off I had same problem on all phones, it just gave me the option to re-download when I turned data on on IP4
Same here on rogers you need data to be on.

damn, do you guys think a ROM would fix that issue.
I know my miui on the mytouch has automatic enable data when a mms comes in... i just dont know about the infuse
the problem i have is, that even when i turn it on after i see that it came in, it wont dl it...
I turn my data on when i get an mms and it downloads fine. Thats on stock and custom rom. My wifes rooted inspire turns the data on automatically when it receives a mms. Thats pretty cool

Yes the way HTC handle the data is mms will still download if the data service is turned off. But come to think of it my captivate worked the same way as long as I was not running an AOSP rom as it handles data being turned off differently

That is the message I get when people send me pics or videos from certain phones. I click on that message as if to download it manually, but it pops back up with the same message.
I have tried to reset the phone, clear the messages, have sender re-send......nothing works.
Is this a known bug? Do I have a setting wrong?
no this is not a bug. you must have the data connection ON to receive an MMS. then you could turn it off when you received the message.
I receive text messages no problem. I do not receive picture or video texts, I just get the above mentioned message?
Reset the phone, checked all setting, updated PRL and Profile.............STILL wont work!
Update:
I can no longer send picture messages either!
I had the same problem tonight then it went away. Maybe a brief issue?

This has been going on for a week.
I just sat on the phone with Sprint (whose customer service has gone downhill faster than Joe Paternos career) customer care, tech support, and finally escalations.
Tried to send refresh notices to the phone, we re-did all the updates (profile & PRL), and finally sent me some sample picture texts, still nothing!
Any thoughts from the great minds at XDA?
You have to have cellular data ON you can not get pic/video over wifi for some reason. so go to settings -> cellular -> data connection = ON

And you have a data connection? Like you aren't in a dead spot for coverage? Is your phone one that is sold by your current carrier? Do you have a custom ROM on it? If yes perhaps restore it to factory. If that doesnt work I am out of ideas. I had this problem and found out its becuase I had cellular data turned off (battery saving trick I use)
EDIT: You don't have ICS on do you? Or if you did but don't currently, try turning it on then off again and see if that helps.
All stock, bought from Sprint, still on Sprint. No custom ROM. Cell data is always on as I get loads of texts from work. This is killing me because my job also sends me a lot of picture messages, and I have been having to have them email them to me recently.
What is ICS?
Internet Connection Sharing
Hmmm.....where do I find that setting? I dont remeber changing it, but.........

glad im not the only one!
Have you connected your phone to your computer and checked for any updates in Zune?
daily, that's elementary.
I am thinking ill have to make the 2 hour round trip to the Sprint store, damn!
I really do not care if it is butt ugly, I just want a ROM that works with the phone's features:
examples that I can think of:
USB -- able to connect to PC as a usb drive
WiMax -- able to connect to the Sprint WiMax network. That is why I bought the phone in the first place.
3G data -- it is so slow that if it doesn't work I really dont care
built in keyboard -- if that doesnt work what is the point of having this phone?
bluetooth -- I have an A2DP headset that I want to be able to use for music & phone calls
i need it to work with the GPS / Navigation software
i would like to search and get apps from the Market
So far I have tried the following and they do not meet that bar:
Evervolv nightly 10-26-13
Evervolv release 3.2.0.p1
CM 7.2.0
This phone has been out forever, can anyone point me to a ROM that does this?
Try newSENSE or SupremeSense XII

I have been working with SupremeSense XII for the past few days:
Somewhere in the rooting process, my data profile settings got messed up, but the ROM let me update my data profile and that is all taken care of.
So far, I can report that Wifi works as expected. So does 3G.
I have not had the chance to test the WiMax yet, because even though I am in the "best" coverage area I get zero bars of signal in my apartment.
(Added the folloiwng 10/31/13) Last night I was able to connect, get an ip and open a webpage on WiMax while I was at work. Outside here at home the signal says poor??? I walked all around the building, and it never changed. (end of new info)
I was able to pair with my old phone using bluetooth and transfer over all of my contacts. I haven't had a chance yet to use my headset.
Although the Supreme Sense ROM has an option to take screen shots by pressing the power button and home button simultaneously, I am not coordinated enough to do it. aScreenshot seems to be working fine for that.
I was able to get a voicemail widget on the main screen but it does not seem to show if I have any messages waiting.
I was able to put a missed call counter on the main screen, but I have not missed any calls yet to see if it works, lol.
I have a gmail counter on the home screen and the unread message counter works great.
SMS Unread Count installs but it crashes when I try to put it on the home page.
I like to have a different ringtone for any calls that come in that are not in my contact list. I was able to easily accomplish this using Group Ringtone Lite.
I have the phone underclocked using SetCPU.
WiFi Ruler and WiFi Power saver work like a charm.
So, thank you very much for the advice! The only thing I have thrown at this so far that doesn't work is SMS Unread Count!
I've seen a bunch of threads on enabling native tethering for VZW/ATT/Sprint, but none for T-Mobile. Any advice on how to enable native tethering for us TMO folks?
I would be very interested as well.

Looking for a mod to the entitlementservice.apk. they have this mod in this section for att and vzw, but nothing specifically for tmo.

Again I am probably missing something but they need mod because tethering doesn't work. On T-Mobile tethering works with out any mods.....at least on my phone.

I am guessing because you don't have unlimited data, or you have been grandfathered in from an older data plan (which I was). Tmo switched my plan to unl when I upgraded to my previous phone 2 years ago. I was getting it fine when I was limited to 5gb, but when they "upgraded' my plan the last time, I lost the free hot spot option. For those who fall under this category, we now get greeted with the attached image. There has been similar hot spot blocking on ATT and VZW, but there are also workarounds in this section for them. I cannot find any that work for TMo clients in this scenario. My previous phone was a GS3 running CM 10.2. AOSP ROMs do not have the carrier check, so I was able to use this without issue for the last 2 years. Switching to XT1053 with stock ROM now causes this problem.

interesting, i recently switched to unlimited data and my tether works fine.
edit: looks like it didnt switch thats why i have tether
What unlimited plan do you have? I have the new one (simple choice i think) and I can tether fine. I've never actually gone beyond the 2.5gb limit, so I don't know if that's why you're getting the message.
I used to be able to tether on non-Kit-Kat on my Nexus 4. I switched to the Moto X running 4.4 and I am now unable to tether. I keep hitting a T-Mobile upsell page.

The T-Mobile framework-res.apk/res/values/arrays.xml doesn't have a value set for the config_mobile_hotspot_provision_app property. I was having trouble building framework-res but your thread provided the solution (deleting values-mcc-310-mnc-1; the other directory you said to delete wasn't in my framework-res). Thanks!
My last hope is the single reference to pcweb under framework-res/res/values-mcc310-mnc260/strings.xml. I swapped it for fast but my first attempt at replacing framework-res.apk failed--I need to recheck my steps and make sure I did the resigning and everything correctly. Hopefully I'll have some more time to do this tonight.
Woke up this morning, no service, keeps saying current network (T-Mobile) is unavailable, the only way it'll work is if I pull sim card out, power it down, reinsert it and start it back up, it'll work fine for about half an hour and drops network again.
I'm running latest mahdi ROM, nothing else modified.
Any help appreciated.
BTW sim card is relatively new( about 5 months old)
Try a different ROM and if it still does it RMA the device I was having problems with service to where when I was using data it would decide to switch to h/3g I'm on T-Mobile as well

Thanks for the suggestion, i don't think its the ROM, but to put my mind and ease and eliminate that possibility I'll flash another ROM tonight.
Btw how does the RMA work? I've never had to go through this before
Thanks
If you purchased it through T-Mobile just call T-Mobile and tell them you're having problems with it and just do troubleshooting stuff and if what they say doesent work unroot it and send it back and if you purchased it through google same exact thing
Although I bought it brand new, it wasn't from Google or T-Mobile itself. If I can't rectify this with software I'll have to contact lg and see what they say
No bueno, flashed other ROM and currently on stock ROM still having same problem, service drops off rendering phone useless. Emergency calls only is all i get.
Any advice?
Try going to the service menu which you can get into by dialing *#*#4636#*#* in dialer. Go into phone information and try changing this setting:

Since you're on t mobile I'd recommend trying anything but CDMA. WCDMA is fine though. Maybe one of the options will help solve your connectivity issues.
Personally I'm on WCDMA only when connected to WiFi. This gives me 3G. Otherwise I am on LTE only. GSM should give you 2g.

Have you tried different modem?
Figured it out, in short I got scammed. Called tmobile today, they blacklisted the phone for non payment, I guess the guy that sold it to me hadn't paid it off/paid. I guess lesson learned, call service provider and make sure device is paid off.
It still works with att. At this point I'll sell it as such and or for parts.
Thanks everyone
Has anyone else been having this error???? Never happened until I updated to 7.0, the phone will say "No signal found for mobile networks" after sending a sms, when CLEARLY in the screenshot I am still connected to 4G with full bars. Only way to bring it out of it is if I make a phone call to someone, then quickly hang up.

My signal was a little wonky after I first updated, but seems too be fine now.
im having the same issue. its only after i reboot the phone or full shut down and power up. making a phone call is the only way i can start sending and receiving text messages. Not sure if it has anything to do with me being on Total Wireless? I have done 3 or 4 full wipe and restores some through the phone and 1 through Odin via the new Nougat tar file. still doing the same thing.
I am on TotalWireless as well. In Mobile Network Settings I have to use Global Mode in order to have full functionality of Calls|Text|3g/4g Data. Using LTE/CDMA mode I have 4g Data and can place phone calls, but I can't receive calls or send/receive texts.
After setting Global Mode and rebooting the phone you should have full functionality. If you don't, customer service may need to reprovision your phone, or delete and re-add it back on your account. If you do have to deal with Total Wireless CS, I would highly suggest using chat.

Downgrading back to QA1 fixes the issue so i doubt its a provisioning issue with Total Wireless but maybe i will give them a call, thank you!
