Auto switch WiFi off for MMS - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently switched from a Note 3 to the Nexus 5 and have a quick question. On the Note, whenever I received a MMS it would automatically switch to LTE to dl the message and then switch back to WiFi. Is there any way to accomplish this on the Nexus 5? My Note was Verizon, Nexus is AT&T if that matters.
Thanks

[Completed] Can't send texts with cm12-20150222 on a Sprint Samsung Note 4

I Can receive, but not send, text messages on Samsung Note 4 cm12-20150222. Any ideas? I did try a different text app, but no luck. I am using a Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
Did you check your apn settings? This is normally the issue with sending or receiving.

I had this issue sine November, I am on Canadian Bell.. the issue is the LTE (In canada) or 4G, when you switch to 3G it should work. The real solution for me was switch to fjltecan (canadian ver), and Hallelujah, works ..
Try this DU_jfltecan_5.0.2_20150211-0217.v9.1-UNOFFICIAL.zip, maybe it'll work on Sprint. Or most likely you need to find proper kernel file for your phone. PK

There should be the option inside of cellular networks inside settings. Personally I haven't even on TMobile since before the smartphone days but you "should" be able to change it. Don't hold me to that however

Flashing tmobile rom?

This question may bite me back but still going to askā€¦ so bring it!!! Nicely please , any way if I was to flash a tmobile stock or custom rom I think it would brick my phone. Right ??? Just tell me so I could stop trying to find a way to tmobile, cant return, can't sell so am stuck. ??
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? My sprint note 5 runs great on t-mobile. I get faster data on my sprint note 5 than on my t-mobile note 3.
exactly what you have , how did you get it to work on tmobile
The download booster feature is not on Sprint rom

Hi 954wrecker,
I also have a Sprint Note 5 (SM-920P) which is running perfectly on Ting.com using GSM.
Why on GSM instead of Sprint? I changed jobs and GSM coverage is better than CDMA at my new location.
Anyway, What DOES work. . .
1. Calls
2. Automatically Switch between GSM LTE and GSM 3G (when needed)
3. Send/Receive Text (but need to use Textra with Port 80 to send Receive MMS)
2. WiFi
3. WiFi Hot Spot
What does NOT work is. . .
1. my VoiceMail Notifcations icon. If I get a message, I never receive the "Voice Mail" Notification icon at the top.
Question-1: Does your VoiceMail notification icon work? (when you get a new VoiceMail message)
Question-2: Would flashing the SM-920T(T-Mobile) Stock ROM on my SM-920P(Sprint) brick my phone?
Thanks ! !

Don't know about voicemail. There was a little voicemail notifier applet around somewhere that might work if you can find it. You might try just removing all sprint voicemail apps.
You cannot odin other phone firmware. You could try flashing a tmobile custom rom with twrp but you also have to flash a sprint kernel along with it that matches the bootloader/firmware you are running or it probably wont run. I recommend one of the beastmode kernels.
Sprint phones need a sprint rom for the cellular radio to work. If you want a wifi tablet you can flash any gsm rom. Try visual voicemail see if that works, i dont use tmobile anymore just ringplus.

I'm looking to see if this is possible too. When I got a Sprint Note5 in exchange for my T-Mobile Note5 because of issues, it works but I lost a lot of good functionality. Video calling, download booster, just to name a few...

Note 7 Wifi calling

Did Samsung really remove the WiFi calling option from the note 7. I have sprint and I'm noticing it's no longer available.

It has been talked about a good bit already.

Using Verizon note 5 on T-Mobile

Sorry if this has been posted before....but is it possible to flash a T-mobile ROM on a Verizon note 5?
I left big red for T-Mobile and bought a unlocked Note 5 that was originally on Verizon.
It works fine with T-Mobile and I am overall happy with the network.
However I travel a lot and would like the option of WIFI calling and also to be able to use the free in air txting on GOGo inflight.
In order to do that it seems I need the T-mobile firmware? Or is this something I can flash?
As the phone is now I have no option to turn on WIFI calling in any of the the settings.
Thanks!
Nope. If you try. You will soft brick it. Only way to recover is Odin back to stock TMO firmware. I attempted with and s4 and s6 from Verizon. I eventually caved and ponies dup for a TMO note 5. The lack of volte alone killed me.
I have a N920V as well and am now using t mobile with great Lte speeds. You 1)dl BK Package Disabler app for Samsung, 2)give it admin permission and disable all Verizon packages (except Mobile Hotspot And Tethering to keep that function), 3)input APN settings for t mobile manually, then reboot. I am unrooted and have great network functionality that rivals Verizons so called superior service.
For in flight free texting there is no need for TM firmware. I have international Note 4 (N910F) with generic rom for TM plan. GoGo works fine during my frequent Delta flights.
I have s7 verizon and have used many verizon galaxy on t-mobile. Wi-Fi calling cant be added. I am able to use the internet intermittently whilst talking but on 3g. On some verizon phones it was nothing while talking.
I have the nexus 6 on Verizon. I really would like to have the note 5. Will the T-Mobile note 5 work on Verizon?
