[Q] Data connection will not connect on factory Unlocked G2x

My G2x is unlocked and I'm using mobily "Saudi Provider" . I can only ever get data to work on the stock rom and the leaked Gingerbread update. No other rom I've tried including cm7 will connect to data. The APN settings are correct. My phone will recognize both Mobily's HSPA and EDGE networks but connect to neither.
any ideas would be appreciated.

c'mon guys..about 60 views and no replies

SMS not working

I've currently got CM9 stable running on my skyrocket. For the most part it runs fine although I am having an issue with text messages. Off and on my SMS stops working. I cannot send nor receive them. No errors or anything just no messages.
I tried searching to no avail but i am currently at work and only have my phone to search with, so searching kinda sucks.
I originally started with nightlies then stable. No issues other than that.
Help me get my text messaging fixed!! Thanks!

Did u ensure it apn settings were correct?

SMS works most of the time, but it occasionally drops for a few hours.
I can confirm the apn with my neighbors skyrocket when I get home. We're both running cm9. He doesn't have any issues.
If they APN wasn't correct wouldn't it not work all the time?

Reflashed stable 2x, SMS working for now.

Change imei back to tmobile

Okay. So I bought an unlocked g2x brand new from Amazon. Everything almost works as it should: calling,wifi,texting ....the thing is I cannot send or receive picture messaging.
I spent hours on the phone with T-Mobile (ironically bought an unlocked phone that was originally T-Mobile to use on T-Mobile network. Funny right?) and they say because the imei number is unlocked I am unable to do picture messaging without a data plan. I can't afford a data plan right now.
Anyways I'm hoping there is a way to change the imei number back to being T-Mobile specific. In other words: I want to lock my unlocked phone back to T-Mobile.
All I want is picture messaging. I shouldn't have to have a data plan to achieve this. Can anyone please help?

It shouldn't be your imei, it's your apn settings. Go to settings, wireless, network settings and make sure your apn is set for tmobile.
My phone is unlocked and I send pictures without a data plan. Just remember that you need to have mobile data enabled. It uses data technically, but it's incorporated with your texting plan.

You sir are a genius. That actually fixed my problem.
Now, I have data blocked on my phone so I shouldn't be able to use the data thing even if I tried. ...
I did activate that setting and upon successfully sending a text,the 4g logo does come up where my signal strength and battery are shown. Can you confirm this to be normal? I don't want any extra charges on my next bill....
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

Call them and make sure there's a data block on your phone. You won't get charged. And yes the 4G logo will show when sending an mms.

I spoke with the T Mobile representative. I believe her exact words were : Now you're not supposed to have multimedia messaging on an unlocked phone, But it's changing that setting give you the ability to do so then that is great.
Haha. But yeah she basically is telling me what you guys Are telling me I cannot thank you enough.

I can send mms. But I can't receive them.....any ideas?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

Data turned on when downloading it? Edit your APN, make sure the APN is set to etc.tmobile.com, mmsc set to mms.msg.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc, mac set to 310, mnc set to 260

Did you mean to put "Epc.tmobile. " on access point names?
Would I be asking to much for a little help navigating to those particular settings?
Thanks redmonke.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

Ok after rereading, I see you said to edit my apn, which I assume is short for access point names. Should I edit the only one that is there which is "T-Mobile us, Epc.tmobile. com "
Or should I create a new one?
This is of course assuming that apn is access point names.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

I did what you suggested, although I had to Create a new apn rather than edit the original because the original will not let me edit it....
After creating the new one, I suspect maybe a miss type in the settings. "Etc " is what I believe you said, but upon using that setting I could no longer send pics.
Once I changed it to "epc " I was able to do so.....
Anyways after creating the new apn as per your suggestion, I noticed that it was an exact mirror of my original apn.
But here's the kicker:
I was able to receive pics so long as my buddy selected to forward it rather than sending it directly (if that makes any sense) .
I then tried to have him compose a fresh message and select a pic to send....to no avail. I also had another friend attempt to do the same only to achieve the same results.
I am having zero issues sending pics.
And so long as data is enabled, I am able to do so.
Its the receiving pics that is giving me the issues.
I don't understand why I can receive forwarded pics....
If anyone can help I suppose I can send my cell number,(with great apprehension) ,via pm to someone who is willing to trouble shoot....

Also, not trying to open a can of worms ; but if I install a newer version of android would that rectify the situation I am having?

Hm so it looks like you are on the latest version. Did you do a factory reset when you got it?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

No I didn't...would that somehow lock my phone to a specific carrier?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

No but something might be messing up the mms.

Do you think if I installed a newer version of android I would be able to send and receive texts???
Or if I root it?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

Root no, if a factory restore doesn't then I'd wipe data and install cyanogenmod and see if it works.

[Q] Can't send SMS

so I'm using the Verizon Galaxy S3 in my Country with a CDMA carrier, I'm using CDMA RUIM to connect to the carrier.
The problem is, when im in the EVDO coverage i cannot send SMS (no problem incoming SMS and In/Out Call) to send a sms i must manually change the network to 1xCDMA, is there any fix to this?
Thanks

What ROM are you using? Are you able to send with a 3rd party texting app or same results regardless of what app?

Well the first think i would try is your using the stock is to get off of the stock. Try using synergy rom or something with a bit more network access on the phone side. Untill i can look into it, that's all i can suggest.

Hmmm. Odd that it has no issues with anything but sms. I'll do some research and see what I can find. What country and service if you don't mind me asking?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

Im in indonesia, im using a CDMA carrier called "Bakrie Telecom" / "Esia" unlike most of CDMA carrier that "inject" the Number into the handset, this carrier using CDMA RUIM.
When im using Sprints Epic 4G i used the "inject" technique too since that phone do not has a RUIM slot, and its working well.

I would agree with this. Maybe a rom with a little more network access options would help with this.

Ummm...I'm not sure deleting files is such a good idea. Make sure that your data is enabled to ensure that MMS can function properly. MMS will not be able to send or receive if data is disabled under network settings.

no see when I get a sext its as a video of that picture. or a slideshow idk. it has a play button and I can't DL it

That has nothing to do with your phone. that happens to me a lot when people with iPhones send me a picture message. Nothing to do with your settings
