[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] darkmanmd:
Working T-Mobile to Straight Talk APN Settings 4 MMS et al

I used to have the problems you described; no MMSC PIX in texts and the rest of the lot but when things got to point of ridiculous I got a hold of one of the English Speaking and Knowledgeable Straight Talk Techs, After beating the hell out of him and then kissed it all better after which he came off with all of the the secret settings.

I punched them in and tested transmission back and forth 2 or 3 times with him. It was perfect! Then I harassed his boss just for fun and explained to him that if he were ever going to be promoted he would have to select and train someone to do his job before he could leave all the while lauding the talents and dedication of Straight Talks ONLY Intelligent Tech. In the end, I leaned a little harder on his boss who promised to give the tech a raise and NOT a higher chair and put all the good stuff into his permanent personnel record. Considering he hooked us up, I figured it was the least that I could do

I hung up, rebooted just for luck and Shazam! POOF! All the problems were gone!

Sidebar: I did once used the cross your eyes, hold your breath, stand on one foot while simultaneously pushing all the buttons according to instructions using the "free unlock method" (rolling eyes) but in doing so I was forced to revert back to Jelly Bean 4.11. Oh well, yo cannot have it all eh? I strongly suggest that you use the same CAPS and word spacing theme that you will see below.

Let me know as you get it hooked up? I won't bother to say good luck ladies and gentlemen, If I did it you cannot fail, guaranteed! So here you have it. On your Note 2 go to settings, More networks, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names, hot the + (which means add a new network) unless it is already there because you installed the new sim card and if not follow the bouncing ball naming the new mobile network Straight Talk. Now hold or tap or hold and double ta if you've been infected by Samsung's horrid Master take over your phone software push and type as I did below. Easy as cake!

I added two carriage returns above to make space for this observation. Once again, There are no carriage returns in the set up but I wanted to point out the following.

The entirety of the category entries "Turn APN on/off, including the checked check box and the words "APN turned on" are dimmed.

Possibly because we have already invoked the process earlier on in the exercise? That sounded pretty good but really I haven't a clue? In any case don't let it bug you I just wanted to hip you to what I see.

The following entries will complete the T-Mobile / Straight Talk grudge match.

Turrn APN on/off

APN turned on

Bearer Unspecified

Mobile virtual network operator type None

Mobile virtual network operator value None and the entire entry and remark are dimmed

So there ya have it guys. Let's get those nekkid girlfriend's Hi Resolution photo's flying through the ether! :cool: I'll send you yours as she sends then them (strictly for testing purposes) to me.

BTW, this was my first post and I know the content was not anything earth shattering but I hope I at least passed grammar, spelling and punctuation muster. If you find any other shells in this egg please let me know. I promise I will find other ways to error with more stealth and sophistication in the future! :rolleyes:

In a sober closing, I realty want to thank all of you brilliant dreamers, scientists, programers, sneaky De-compiling reverse engineers, fearless testers and the wonderful toolmakers who (I wish would add an optional auto unlock feature to the Galaxy Note 2 Toolbox!) Who provide such ease of use and access to so much of your magic available to a layman like me. Thanks you for all of the knowledge you freely shared as I have wandered here.
