[Q] G2X on AT&T, DATA WORKING NO MMS??!?

Hey guys I purchased an unlocked G2X off of craigslist after my HD2 died on me :/ now I am running all of the Stock OS no mods nothing. This phone is unlocked as is working with at&t. I am able to access 2g which lets me get on the internet and browse (even thought it is slow it works really good). well the phone is great except I cannot download picture messages (MMS) it just keeps saying failed?!? idk what I am doing wrong? I tried to talk AT&T about it but they are saying that since they do not have a similar phone to it they cannot check the settings for me which sucks! I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and found a way to fix it?? **I HAVE GOOGLED, AND READ UP ON VARIOUS TOPICS BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANYONE WHO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME!*
Thank you for all of your help!! Someone please get back to me! THank you ago

I have the same issue with Simple Mobile. I think the images being sent are larger then what we can accept.

yeah i thought about that also, but it wont even let me send a message out, it just fails at that part too. I have tried using Handcent, resizing the images myself everything.
What I am thinking that it is, is the fact that MMS Proxy settings inside of the APN settings?
any suggestions?

It definitely has a lot to do with apn settings. What I suggest is to find out what is the apn settings for one of at&t's (& Simple Mobile's) Android phone and copy it to the G2x and that should most likely fix the MMS issue. I fixed a myTouch 3g for somebody having MMS issues and all it took was Googling the apn settings of the carrier and then add it to the phone and you should be golden.

Have you checked your APN'S... Cuz that's the part you need to fix if it isn't set up for Att.
Usually you would need APNbackup from market or sideload it and backup and then alter apn for att then restore.
If not try using goSms and fill in mms proxy/apn info

4G Unavailable on My vzw S3

Hey I appreciate any help provided. I went ahead and followed droidstyle's guide to rooting and then flashing a custom rom to my 16GB S3. I believe that I followed the steps correctly but experienced some boot loops after installing CWM and before flashing Bean's Custom Stock Rom. Eventually I was able get the device booted and everything worked great except that my 4G was not working. 3G was working properly. I then applied the most recent OTA modem thinking that this could remedy the problem without success. I ejected SIM, powered on the device without the SIM, powered off, and then repowered with SIM seated. Still no 4G. After, I figured that I'd try going back to bloated 4.0.4 but this did not fix the problem. It's also worth mentioning that while I was flashing back and fourth that I was unable to backup using Nandroid. A message indicating that a backup could not be saved was displayed. I read in another thread that formatting the internal SD should fix the problem but I'm a little worried that I may much something up (again) while doing so.
I'd really appreciate the help.
Thanks!

Install phone info apk from the market and select lte/cdma/evdo and should be ok

I have had essentially the same problem. I have added the phone info app, which really hasn't worked too much better, except that I can lock it into LTE only. When I put it on LTE/CDMA/EDVO it has 3G, but will never automatically switch to 4G. I have to put the phone into LTE only, so that it will pick it up. I did notice today that when in LTE only mode, I can't make any phone calls, text, etc and get a message about my service provider being unavailable. Has anyone else had this issue?

Just give it some time eventually will switch to lte if you have lte coverage in your area

I have given it days !! I was thinking Verizon was having LTE issues, but I have been in multiple towns, all with LTE and I don't have any LTE, unless I force it manually; problem is I don't have anything BUT data, because LTE only mode for some reason makes me only have data.
Is it normal to have data only, when in LTE only mode ???
I have been considering going back to unrooted and doing a factory wipe, but with the lack of being positive it will fix the issue, I hate to do that work. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

If u are rooted, wipe and reinstall rom. Same thing happened to me but was fixed as soon as i wiped.

Phone Info.
Sent from my Galaxy S III

After a couple days of incredibly fast CM10, my S3 has decided to revert back to it's old ways. I'm not entirely sure what caused the issue the first time around nor do I have a clue what caused it this time. Also, I do not know what allowed me to begin receiving 4G/3G when this happened originally. I have my proper IMEI/MEID. I've tried booting the phone without SIM, shutting down, reinserting SIM with no luck. I've used Phone Info to try switching my network type with no luck. I've cleared cache in recovery (Haven't cleared Davlik). I've applied the pre-release modem from the most recent modem. Nothing seems to be working. Everything was working just about flawlessly for the last couple of days. I suppose that I'm at a loss. I've backed up my efs using adb... The next logical step is to reflash CM10 and see if that provides any difference. If that doesn't work I will go back to Bloated and move back into CM10.
I've been looking for something unique for the better part of 4 hours. Do you guys have any ideas?
I really do appreciate any help!

Jump into your dialer, and press *2767*3855# and you'll reset your SIM card - and - that's what you need...

Hey, I appreciate the response. I've tried entering in that number multiple times but its not yielding anything but 2 rings and the Verizon "lady" telling me that the call cannot be completed as dialed. I've seen this exact reply in about 5 other threads. I'm digging for sure. I'm going to go ahead and try Synergy since users are reporting a more reliable data connection.

No joy, eh? That completely reprovisions your phone, so it *should* be the trick. Interesting - works for me (I've munged my MEID twice, and this always brought it back.

Hey guys,
Just wanted everyone to know that I went ahead and flashed synergy. So far I've had no data issues. I can't wait until CM10 is working properly.
Thanks!

Need help

I was on Liquidsmooth ROM. Every thing was working fine until I crossed the border to Canada that is when I tried to make a call n I noticed that I had no signal no data. Went into wireless settings and under network mode it was on -home only- tried to change it but it wouldn't stick. Since then I flashed a couple other ROMs no change then I ODINed back to stock factory but still no change. When I'm in USA everything works fine when I cross into Canada I loose signal n data. I think I'm stuck in -home only- mode cause my phone is not switching into roaming. When in mobile networks settings under Roaming it says Not roaming. In Phone Status under Mobile network type it says unknown Service state -out of service-.
I have my phone #
My ERI Verizon is 5
My. IMEI is fine ( the usual #s)
My IMEISV. is 00
Can anyone help please . I cross the border 2-3 Times a week for a day or 2 n I need it to work in Canada for business n personal use. So please Help

I also tried reflashing the radios but that didn't help either. I upgraded through OTA after Odin to stock factory still no change. Everything works fine when I'm in USA but no data and no cel signal in Canada.
And yes I'm talking about my S3. The Charge is my backup phone.

I guess no-one has any ideas how to unfreez from -home only- wireless network and get the phone roaming.
Anyway at least some of you took the time to look at my thread thanks.
I'll be checking back once a day maybe someone figures this out b4 me thanks.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

To clarify, Everything was working fine until you flashed LiquidSmooth?
And then when you flashed other ROMs, and back to the stock ROM, you couldn't get services back to normal, which you had prior to flashing other than your stock ROM?
If the above is accurate, after you experienced your issues, did you flash back to the Nandroid you made prior to installing LiquidSmooth?
Or did you Always have issues when going into Canada?
I found this for now:

The only thing I can think of is try repro visioning your phone with the dialer code. I can't remember it right now, but you can find it with Google. It may not help at ask, but it's worth a shot. I've heard it does reset your phone so have a backup of any data you want to keep.

MMS selectively working on Nexus 5

So I think they weren't working at all because my IMEI wasn't updated with AT&T when I got my replacement phone. Got that addressed.
Since then, I was able to receive old MMS, but even new ones sometimes get hung up on trying to retrieve them. exiting app and going back in doesn't fix it.
Starting the phone up again does though..
Made sure APN settings are good to go, unchecked 'mobile data' in sms settings and re-enabled within Hangouts.
I'm on stock rooted 4.4 (and franco kernel)
any idea whats going on? It seems like other people are having this problem too but I don't understand it. Thanks.

I am seeing the same issues here.. Stock play store purchased and rooted on Sprint, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't, sometimes even SMS sits forever and wont send or receive until I restart the phone, trying to find someone with a Sprint purchased N5 to compare APNs with
Its almost 2014, you would think someone would be able to straighten out the massive amount of MMS issues with android phones :/ It should "just work" to the customer

I have a feeling it has something to do with Hangouts app itself..

I have issues with hangouts indefinitely, also with textra and handcent. Like OP said,sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

That's interesting you're also experiencing it with other apps.
I haven't tried anything but Hangouts.
Maybe it's a Kit Kat issue? no clue.

Considering you have At&t and I have sprint, im guessing ruling out the carrier is OK.

This is true.

Interesting, i wonder what the root of the issue is since it's selectively working.
Can't be hardware, because it selectively works whereas my data and nothing else has been on the fritz, and it seems like whenever I receive errors rebooting and going back into the app it loads the ones it was hung up on. Seems like it downloads it, but just shows an error instead of displaying the MMS.
Hmmm
And I had AT&T double check the IMEI I provided them was accurate..
Hopefully it just resolves itself eventually, either the network, or a software hiccup, or whatever it is.
Because this Nexus 5 I have right now is a perfect "copy" or whatever you want to call it, a perfect build.
EDIT: I FOUND THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM!!!
adblock for me. Uninstalling didn't fix it either. Just resetting the phone (wiping everything in settings) nipped it in the bud.
It makes sense that that would be the culprit too because it requires root access, and permissions don't seem to kick in until slightly after the phone boots up initially which would coincide with mms received and sent just for those first few moments.
Good luck all, found this advice somewhere else, and so glad it's not a hardware defect as I had suspected it wasn't.

Issues with calls and text

Hey xda! Man it's been a while.
I have the lg g3 in AT&T. I've had it sense release. I had it rooted at the beginning when ideas theming roms and having fun on xda. Life changed and I stopped, unrooted, and been that way sense.
The past month I've been having issues with calls and texts. Some calls are not coming through and going straight to voicemail. The text issue is the most annoying. I'll recieve some but not most of the text people send me. Especially in a group message.
I just did a factory reset on the phone. In hoping that will help. But as I typed this a message from earlier got sent to me twice. Wtf lol. So, anyone else hear of this issue? Would you think rooting and using a stick rooted rom help? Everyone in the house and around me are not having issues on a variety of phones on AT&T.
Btw I have tried third party text apps. I really don't want to purchase a new phone yet. I rather enjoy this one.

That really sounds a lot like a network issue. If you have already factory reset, next step is get a new sim. If they don't fix it it would only ly to being a network issue.

Hi cwhitney24- did you flash a new ROM for your lg g3? If you did you should flash your stock ROM via backup and that should help or reflash the entire phone with odin it self don't worry you wont lose anything. Solution if none helps then bring the back and see what's causing the problem.

Your welcome I usually to to keep up with the LG stuff stock wise anyway. I still own a G2 as my 2nd line. I honestly had a lot of problems out of my D850 but that was when running custom roms or my want to run stock international. Never liked How AT&T tinkered with the firmware.
Yeah try a new sim or try someone else's sim in it. I did have call issues on my D850 but that was due to running a D855 stock based rom.
Or you can also try my back to stock tot method as well, but if your already stock it might not make a difference.
