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....

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.

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.

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....

Purchased new and unlocked from Amazon.
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.

Hi guys. Im not asking how to unblock a phone or change imei or anything. I was just wondering.... If your imei number gets blacklisted does the phone become inoperable or can you still play games on it. This question is purely out of curiosity. I just like to know stuff
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
You can still play games and even use Wi-Fi for internet access, just can't connect to the mobile network
Ah ok. You would think they would be able to pretty much disable it.

Hello, my fiance has a galaxy s 3 with verizon and uses the jb camera from the market. She did a factory reset after a software update and lost them all... Any advice at all qill help. She does not have a sd card but i was under the impression that all her pictures would be synced with google but apparently i was wrong and she is pissed off at me =/ all the pics of our little girl are gone...

There are a few recovery apps in the market that will scan for erased files. Give them a shot, good luck.

A factory reset deletes all internal memory I believe never heard of it even deleted the internal sd card but I'm guessing that's what it did since you had no sd card.

Hey guys, unfortunately I have lost the WiFi icon on my notifications bar. I have rooted my phone and removed some bloatware.
I have a Samsung n7105 have searched the forums and people are suggesting on factory resetting but I am afraid of losing my stuff.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using XDA Free mobile app
It maybe as a result of a root I did, looking at restoring. Very annoying bug.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using XDA Free mobile app
Yeah so it sounds like you removed something important relating to the android system. You can go to factory settings, or you can first try flashing the newest gapps for the app yo be returned, or reflash your rom, then you won't lose any of your personal data.
