Ok. So I have come into possession of an unlocked D850 and I am using it on the t-mobile network. Everything about the phone works fine except MMS. I have tried several different APN settings and still cant get picture messages. LTE is working fine on Fast.Tmobile.com. I have tried everything I know how to do. Even tried flashing a couple custom roms (cloudy/CM12) and still no MMS. Anyone got any ideas?

It's most likely going to come down to APN settings. Unless somewhere in your T-Mobile account is blocked.

I am on AT&T and installed Adblock Plus and lost mms, it is a known problem with AT&T but don't know if it also causes problems on T-Mobile.
I dont have adblock installed. The apn settings im using have worked on my Nexus 5, Moto X, LG g2, Htc One, and literally every other phone ever!. Ive flashed back to full stock rooted and still no mms. It cant be the root messing up my MMS could it? My bootloader is unlocked, Im on TWRP with superSU and bussybox. I tried to post screenshots of My APN settings but since im a new user it wouldent let me.

I believe you are correct however I have tried every T-mobile APN setting I can find. Now for the weird part. I installed AOSP on the phone and it would send MMS no problem. So I checked to see what APN it was defaulting to and copied that then flashed back over to stock, plugged in the same exact APN and still no MMS. Im so confused. Why would MMS work on AOSP but not on stock based roms?

Ive noticed rogers apns posted here so I never backed mine up, I tried a new rom and the APN is different in the sense it says rogers, and it works fine, but my old apn was apn1.something, the new one is internet.com... does it matter ? should I find my old settings and put them in ?

Does not matter. Not really sure why rogers maintains several APNs when they all seem to serve the same purpose.

Are you sure Simple Mobile doesn't use T-Mobile's network? I'm in Canada so I have no idea.

Which one is it? You say that it doesn't work without TMobile's APN in the first post and in the second you say it works only without Tmobile's APN.... Anyway, I know that here in Canada, Virgin Mobile uses Bell's network, and so you need to use Bell's APNs.
the problem is that it doesnt matter what apn you ad ... the phone restores back to the orighinal apn that came with the phone which is t-mobile's apn
What rom you use.

Yah you need to root and maybe use apn back/restore see if that does the trick... If your stock then try custom rom they usually have. Simples apn built in to choose from

I doubt that, I have a TMobile branded phone and use it on WIND everyday without a hitch
I have my phone rooted with cm7 1.0.1 .. some times all my apn's just get deleted by itself and I have to hit reset to default apn then I have to manually enter them in agian

My wife's G2X (on Simple Mobile) had this issue on her stock ROM. Simple Mobile's Facebook page suggested installing APN Manager (free) which I did, and it worked great -- was able to delete the 'Tmobile' APN and leave only the Simple APN.. and its also backed up just in case things go wrong it will restore.
I am also going to test this out on my CM7 issue, where the APNs just disappear and work again on reboot. Maybe the APN manager will help me restore without reboot. This is with Tmobile -- no Simple Mobile even involved.
I had the same issue, and I use simple mobile. With weapon G2x ROM, whitehawkx's, it solved the issue. By default there is T-mobile's which cannot be deleted or edited. I also tried "MIUI 2.1.13 Stock w/ Trinity Kernel" which worked without any issue, just have to turn off auto selection on APN. It detected automatically the APN settings for simple mobile. Even if it is the old one(APN settings for simple mobile), it works. Simple mobile changed their settings, they made it more simple. I used this ROM for almost one day, there were no issue as I am telling, except my internal SD card, which was not available.
Try weapon G2x, see if it works for you.

Hey guys I bought this nexus a while back, and it has worked perfectly until yesterday.
I started out on Att then moved over to sprint with no problems. Well the other day I decided to try out some new ROMs. When I got the ROM itself on there (Crom) the WiFi didn't work. So I googled around found a fix. After applying the fix now my LTE doesn't work. I have to go into the settings and change it from LTE recommended to 3G to even get signal.
Things I've tried:
Reinstalling APN
Radio
Tried Spark settings for sprint.
Edit: I forgot to mention, I am running stock 4.4.3 now. I did a factory reset lock then re unlock to root.
Actually the only thing that seems to work is the 3G. If I set it to global I can't get calls or anything at all.
Anyone have an idea what's going on?

Yes, I put a stock ROM of 4.4.3 back onto it. I even relocked it to factory, then unlocked it rooted it. My preferred is 3G but only for the reason being I get no signal when I tap LTE. I've tried going into the setting on *#*#4636#*#* with no luck.

I tried that, and just about all the other settings. Only one that works is the CMDA auto.
Recently went to a CM12 build and even with CM11 I had the same issue. I am using ATT for my OPO and I can not send picture mails (mms) out of my messaging app. I changed to hangouts, and it sends out fine. Any one know why this is going on?
Thanks in advanced

I'm on Rogers in Canada, in my case there's multiple APN on my Sim card..
I have an LTE APN and another APN for 3G I think. Everything else is the same within each APN, just the first couple lines are different. MMS doesn't work for me with the LTE APN but it works great with the 3G APN for some reason
Maybe your situation is similar?
I attached my APN list
In hangouts you're able to specify which APN you want to use, so I use LTE APN for my phone while I chose 3G APN for hangouts. The new Google messenger app doesn't allow for this unfortunately..

That looks like the same one I am using. Did you have an LTE phone before this one on AT&T? Have you tried changing to one of the other AT&T APN settings seeing if it works or not then changing back?

What i ended up doing is getting off a daily cm12 build, and went to blissrom, solved all my issues. No idea why though.... using the same messaging app T_T
<3 thanks though
I have had similar results with different ROMs. Sometimes messenger app works fine with MMS and other times I have to use Hangouts. I also see this happening when people send MMS from iOS to me.
Coping/Pasting from a US Cellular page due to XDA being quite a bit more active. Any help is greatly appreciated.
So I had an old Verizon Galaxy S3 that was laying around, while I was using an old USCC Galaxy S2. Of course I wanted to update, so I picked up a Lollipop rom to tun on the S3 and it works beautifully. Smoothest OS I've had on my phone. This includes custom and/or stock roms. Well, I've been using this rom (CM-12.1) for almost two weeks now, with no issues aside from the normal Camera not connecting, lack of MMS, and no 4G. Camera issues is common with CM12, MMS is just APN settings (I'm hoping), and 4G is due to the different type of 4G radio in the Verizon phone compared to the USCC variant of the S3. I can live without the 4G though, but it would be nice. MMS is kind of annoying, having to tell my friends/family to "send it to me on Facebook". So that's been my experience up until last night...No comes the issue. I flashed a d2usc rom to my d2vzw device last night, and everything went smoothly (aside from the normal issues I mentioned above). It connected to 3G without me having to adjust/change any of the APN settings. Sadly, this rom was QUITE unstable. Programs freezing up and crashing left and right. So I ended up going back to my original d2vzw rom. Now...I can't seem to get it connected to 3G. I can text and make calls just fine, but no data. Every time I attempt to edit the APN settings, nothing happens/connects, or the APN setting i'm working on gets deleted. I've noticed that on the APN setting websites I've found, that there is one setting that is different than mine. Where it tells me to change the MMC, I have MCC. Everytime I change the MNC setting, the APN gets deleted. Let me know what information you need in order to help me get this issue resolved. Thanks for any help in advance!
