Problem sending MMS on AT&T/cricket - Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers

Edit: Problem solved by manually editing APN settings to the specified info on Crickets website. I don't know how to close a thread ?
Honestly have no idea what the cause of this issue is. Noticed when I tried to share a picture with my cousin that it never sent about 4 hours later and have since been scratching my head trying to figure out why not. Reset network settings, did the usual troubleshooting but to no avail. If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

browser not working

Hi everyone,
I've got the desire s a few days now and allready tried various roms. However my mobile internet connection when browsing doesn't seems to work. In app like facebook and whatsapp there is no problem what so ever, but when I try to open google.com it loads for a second and after that nothing happens. All I see is a blank screen and that's it. On wifi there is no problem everything works very well. I also tried different browser but the problem is always the same. Loads for a second and then a blank page.
Hope that anyone has a solution, cause I don't know what to do anymore. And I wouldn't like to send my phone back since that can take weeks before it's send back.

It would help if you tell us what ROM you are using

Sorry, right now I'm on the latest Europe ruu 2.1 something.
But as I mentioned before it doesn't really matter it happens on custom roms and different versions of the official ruu... The only thing I don't know if it worked straight out of the box.

in which case I'd be rebooted to try a full factory reset, then re test and report back
Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium
thanks for your help,
I rebooted to fastboot and there I did a factory reset. But the problem still occurs. That would make sense since flashing other roms didn't help either while I did whipe al the required partitions like cache, delvik cache, system en formatted them all. It seem's a software fault in I guess my radio because apps work fine. It's only the browser.

Try this...
Settings->Wireless&Networks->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names-->(touch on your provider)-->touch Proxy and erase so that it is blank, and touch Port and make sure it is blank.
Save those changes, and reboot your phone. Has that worked?

thanks for your input.
But both are allready blank and if the settings are wrong apps like mail, whatsapp and facebook wouldn't work either right? I'll try and report back but I wouldn't make any sense to me.

edit: edited APN, rebooted but it still doesn't work
Nuts. Was sure it sounded like an APN issue. Have you tried ringing your provider and asking for them to resend the apn? Or you could search for it and just check it matches. I'll do a little more digging and get back to you. (I'm sure i encountered this problem before. Can't for the life of me remember the fix though. Not giving up!

I know it doesn't make sense.. but I checked the settings more then once and they are correct. I'd be very happy if you would know a that fix but we will see.
Thanks for the efforts so far!

OK I'm still thinking it's APN issue. All other instances I have found of browsers only working on WiFi, this has been the cause. Can I have a little more information about your circumstances?
What provider are you with?
Which country are you in?
Which ROMs have you tried, and which are you currently running?
It may be worth you completely deleting your APN and starting a new one from fresh with your provider's confirmed details. Be aware that the APN itself is case-sensitive.
Maybe worth trying: going to dialer and dialing *#*#4636#*#*
Then from the menu that pops up, go to phone info and scroll down to network connection type. I have 'WCDMA preferred' and that has always worked for me.
What is yours set to?
What provider are you with?
- Hi
Which country are you in?
- Netherlands
Which ROMs have you tried, and which are you currently running?
- Right now its the latest RUU 2.10.401.5 with the radio included. I tried the bindroid v2.1 and Beatmod blisssense hybrid latest version. Noticed it at first with the bindroid reflashed it but still occured, so I switched to beatmod still didn't work so went back to stock all together.
It may be worth you completely deleting your APN and starting a new one from fresh with your provider's confirmed details. Be aware that the APN itself is case-sensitive.
- Done that now but still nothing

What is yours set to?
- Same here, so that's no difference.
But question for you, if it would be an APN setting, apps which require an active internet connection wouldn't work either right?
Thanks for your time once again!
From what I have read on the matter so far, it would seem that other apps can use 3G if an APN or data plan issue prevents the browser from working. Sorry if I am grasping at straws here, but has your provider confirmed that your data plan is confirmed on their end?
Other people with similar issues found that "Opera Mini" browser would work on 3G when no others would. Is this also the case for you? I know this is a work-around & not a solution, just trying to rule things out.
Edit: Another thing to try would be to ask a friend (who's 3G internet does work) and borrow their SIM card.
Another edit: Found this after some searching for Hi APN settings. I know I said to remove the Proxy address and port number, but have you tried putting these in:
APN: internet
Username: (niets invullen)
Password: (niets invullen)
Proxy: 10.10.100.20
Poort: 5080
Now that is strange, it does work with the Opera Mini browser. So at least something is working now.
I renewed my contract and got the desire s with it. But the terms of my data plan are changed so it could be that that is the reason that the internet isn't working. I'll call in the morning with customer service to see if that is the reason.
I did now, but still nothing.
So I'll make a phone call and see what they have to say. I usually don't really have much confidence with customer service so that's the reason why I tried my luck here first. But if it is a provider issue than I don't have much choice of course.
Once again thanks!
Cool. That's ruled out hardware fault. There is nothing physically wrong with your phone! It's a software, setting or Sim card issue.
Good luck with your provider. Will be interested to know if you get to the bottom if it. If i find any more clues I'll post them here or pm you.

Well I called today the customer service today and they contacted the tech guys which apparently made some changes to my APN settings, which I can't find btw, but everything is working now. So I'm happy
Thanks for your time, it's appreciated.

Excellent!
No problems. Glad it's sorted.

Which baseband are you using? If you're not using the July baseband, I'd suggest upgrading to it. Just search for July baseband and you should find instructions. If you're already on that baseband, try updating your RIL with the GetRIL app from the play store. If none of that works, try wiping cache and dalvik in recovery, then fixing permissions.
I have the new baseband and have tried numerous wipes and fixing permissions and also the getril from market. Has anyone one fixed this with a new sim card I have read if you can find an old style card things work better in the g2x?
Are you using WIFI at the time or mobile data? I have issue with MMS using wifi. Everyhting works as expected when using mobile data.
I can receive messages with wifi calling on and that is the only time I can get them on wifi or mobile data nothing
Hey I'm having this same problem. Has anyone else been able to solve this? From what I've seen, it seems that the OP and I are the only ones with this problem
I tried tons of other things and never got it to work correctly I ended up exchanging phone under warranty for 5 bucks and with the new unit had none of the problems that I was having with the old one so in my opinion it is a hardware issue that you can not fix with out changing out phone I ran across a few others that ended up changing out phone. The only thing I can recommend is somewhere I saw a thread where some people had flashed a experimental rom and lost the ability to text and they had to use some kind of at commands to the modem to get it back in the right mode you should be able to find it if you search the fourm

I was able to find this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19794570&postcount=9
but I'm a little confused because he says that he "saved" the settings or something after he clicked refresh, but I don't see any option to save. any time i leave that menu and go back to it, the numbers are gone again.
it has been my experience that even with completely stock, unrooted builds, MMS picture messaging does not work with wifi. even in jacksonville, fl and new orleans, la (both 4g markets), that while on wifi, if you receive a picture message and attempt to download it, the phone will connect to the 4g mobile data service to download it. it happened on both my g2 and my g2x. i want to say that with wifi calling turned on you can download picture messages, but im not entirely sure.

Couple of questions about troubleshooting a problem/RMA

Hey ladies and gents, I have a strange issue with my N5. I am losing data connection despite having a 4-bar LTE signal. Most of the time, I will catch it at work while streaming music from Spotify/Pandora. Once in awhile i'd catch it while browsing Facebook as well. It will show a 4-bar LTE connection, but the apps will report "no data connection available." I've tried surfing Chrome when this problem arises and it says "You are Offline." I found a temporary fix - turning Airplane mode on/off or restarting the phone.
Has anyone ever heard of this, and does anyone have any suggestions. I was running SlimKat before, but now i'm on stock 4.4.4 with ElementalX kernel, with the issue crossing multiple ROMs/wipes.
I also just got off of chat with Google support. The lady is emailing me some troubleshooting steps, and wants me to contact T-Mobile as well. If the problem is still there, she wants me to RMA. What are the steps needed in order to do so. Some quick searches brought up factory images but I haven't found anything recent, and want to make sure I have all my bases covered.
Thanks guys!
Google doesn't care whether the bootloader is unlocked or whether the phone is rooted. If it's a hardware issue, you are covered!
If you want to return to stock before sending it in for peace of mind then follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
Sorry for the late reply, been pretty busy the last couple of days. Glad to hear that Google doesn't care about the unlocked bootloader! I'll probably just return completely to stock and return it like that IF I have to.
However, I think I may have fixed the problem. I altered my APN settings and changed IPv6 to IPv4 and it seems to have fixed my problem, at least for now (the problem is random so i'll have to use it for awhile to make sure it really is fixed). Anyone else ever heard of this problem, or this fix, especially on T-Mobile?

Intermittent Data/Cell -Exclamation Mark in Signal Indicator

This happens on every Lollipop ROM I have flashed, no problems on 4.4 ROMS. I do clean installs, do not restore anything from Tibackup. So basically what happens is I will randomly but very frequently lose all data and cell service. Like once every three minutes frequently. It only lasts about 5 seconds at a time. The signal bar triangle will have an exclamation mark in it (see attached example). I delete and re-enter my APN, turn off wifi AND the Scanning Always Available option. I have read some threads about this exact same thing happening on Nexus 5 after Lollipop update but they are old and it seems to have been fixed with an update. Does anyone have any ideas about what is going on? I'm on TMO in the US and like I said, it ONLY happens on Lollipop ROMs it does not happen of Kitkat.
I read this as sort of an explanation as to why but nothing as to how to fix it. It is driving me insane.
I'm in the same boat, I cant make calls with hangouts or with Dialer or it will disconnect. I haven't seen a solution yet. I've tried every ROM I can, but it keeps crashing. drives me up a wall. I want to logcat it, but having issues while at work.

Only discussion about this I have seen is in the Nexus 5 forums, nothing in OPO
Any insight to this would be greatly appreciated.

You're not alone, I have this as well but I don't get the exclamation mark but instead the triangle appears completely empty, as if I have no signal at all.
anyone know a way to fix this awell? i flashed the new lolipop alpha modem and still same thing if not worse
The only time this has happened to me is when I toggle Wi-Fi. It for this every time, but have no data issues otherwise. Seems to be when switching between ip addresses. Are you possibly between towers or roaming on another network? May be the issue, but I can't say for sure. Running the lollipop rom exodus, no issues at all.
EDIT: also what baseband are you guys on? I thought I saw something similar and someone flashed a test baseband and it fixed whatever issue they were having. Link coming shortly.
EDIT 2: just now noticed the list above mine about the alpha modem and it not working for them. If anyone else needs to try however, link is http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho... work for some and not others.

Does anyone know if we can flash the CM11S modem on CM12?

In OP "I delete and re-enter my APN, turn off wifi AND the Scanning Always Available option."
Same issue here. Running SlimSaber using alpha radio.
Same problem on two OPOs here, both running Temasek CM12
Anyone found a solution yet?
I have the same issue on CM12, BlissPop and Validus ROMS.
Strangely I do NOT have the issue on Euphoria.
Think it happened after I flashed the Alpha L modem.
Tried flashing an older CM11S modem, but no luck...
Hi,
Sorry for the noob answer but anybody tried settings>mobile networks>preferred network type and set it to 3G? I flashed a new rom from stock CM and noticed that I was experiencing signal trouble, I checked my status and the signal detected is LTE so I changed my network to 3G and network signal improved. Downside is that you cant use LTE (but thats ok for me since here in our country, LTE signal is still kind of limited)
Zino same for me. Ever find a fix or a rom that doesn't do this?
OP here, it's strange that all of us have this issue, the same issue that came up on the Nexus 5 thread when L was first released but know one else seems to have any knowledge of it. I am almost certain it doesn't have to do with our carriers but rather something software related.
I'm also suffering from this issue, until now the only way I knew how to fix it was to wipe the cache in recovery which takes ages!
got the same problem :<
I have a similar issue. I use t mobile in the USA and LTE works, H+ works, but 3g shows signal and won't load anything. No idea how to fix it.

Issues with not revieving texts via the app Signal.

I enjoy using encrypted SMS apps like Signal and lately I've been having a problems where people who aren't on Signal will text me and the text won't go through at all to my phone. I just won't receive it. researched this problem online and yes, I tried keeping the app updated, making sure to allow it all permissions on your phone etc. and I still run into the problem. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know how I can fix this? My device is an Honor 5x non rooted. thank you. I hope I'm posting this in the right forum.
