[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] ingenious247:
Usually to get around the issue, you have to send one MMS via mobile data, then after that it should work. If I remember correctly. Something to do with verification for the initial send.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] mhill1986:
I can't speak to TMobile or Sprint, but I have MMS working over WiFi on Verizon prepaid. I know it isn't using data because I have 0 bars at my house. MMS over WiFi did not, however, work for me on Cricket. Do you have WiFi calling enabled? If not, I think I needed to do that first (this requires a data connection to initiate). Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Tel864:
I have an unlocked S10 on Consumer Cellular with an AT&T sim and I've noticed that I can completely disable data and send MMS also. I knew I had working wifi calling but never tried MMS until this post.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] jasonevil:
Been on Sprint since 2008. MMS uses data, never been able to use it with WiFi......

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] vlug:
I just switched over from an s9 to the s10 on Sprint. Was able to receive mms while talking on the phone as long as I had WiFi. I'm not sure why some people don't believe this works. Now I am trying to figure out how to make it work again.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] fearbasel04:
I am tmobile I notice MMS and text will send on wifi if I have bars of service if I am in dead zone and no service wifi only will not send.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] JoeFCaputo113:
Yep, THIS is exactly what I'm talking about. If you have no service/no mobile data, MMS will not send. It used to back on my S8+, but then recently also stopped on my S8+ and continued to not work on the S10+.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] fearbasel04:
You might have a point i always had service up until getting moved to a new spot at work in December. I know it does not matter if there is data or not. It matters service. Good luck and I hope for my sake too u find a fix lol.

I dont know how can they come up with that sale strategy. This is the first phone they sub brand as redmi devices out of mi devices which possibly means they dont have enough money to make it on international market. So they sale it on india and china for now to gain money for the next redmi generation.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] true2you:
Hello dear friends.

As I've always hated samsung phones since their first mainstream dumb phone 20 years ago, for more than legitimate reasons, i have finally gotten one. There was a deal with my carrier and i thought since samsung has the best screen quality, and finally got a wide angle camera, on paper i had no more reasons to hate the brand so much. A nice case can still hide the ugliness of the back.

But, coming from htc since 2007 to 2015, then, sony, then htc10, then lg v30, i can say for sure this is the most annoying phone to use and to configure.

For every thing samsung got right, it's as if there is a bitter counterpart to swallow.

Never has it been more difficult on a phone for me to set my email account as the main source of contacts (to both store and sync)

Only options i see are my Gmail accounts, device memory, or add new (Gmail) account option.

Did anyone manage to set an Outlook.com account for contacts?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] maddie01:
I just did this. Unfortunately I can't provide you a screen shot as the security on the corporate Outlook Account will not allow it.

Once the account is set up, go to settings and click Sync Contacts...

Go to the Inbox, click the hamburger (3 lines) to the left, and then Settings icon at bottom left, choose the Office 365 account and then you will see the option to turn on Sync Contacts.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] SunilSuni:

No it's a problem, even if you flashed firmware-less most of the functions won't work, at least that's what happened with me, no camera, no earpiece, no vibration and ofc more under the hood.

We're stuck on pie and even the custom ROMs need to be updated to the new vendor because the situation is the same.

Pie is so far so good but I'm surprised that exFAT isn't working!! now my sdcard is useless! i checked and the module is missing which is exfat.ko, don't know if they forgot to add it or what now!! also all the recoveries i tried give a problem with data and encryption so it need to be updated, other than that all is good.

Hi all,

I have been trying to flash a custom ROM on my Z1C, but I can't even get to any recovery screen. My power button does not work so I can't use the Power + Volume combo to get to recovery. I can get into both Fastboot and Flashmode. I have tried multiple different versions of TWRP but when I try to boot, the phone gets stuck on either the Sony logo, or on a blank screen. I have tried using both fastboot boot twrp.img, and flashing the image, both with the same results. From Flashmode, I can restore the original firmware with Emma and the device works perfectly. Any advice on how I can boot into recovery?

Thanks in advance

You can download an app from the playstore where you can boot into recovery. Or use developer settings and advanced reboot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid_Nut:
I used to use RCB Root Call Blocker, and that app was the best ever, ever since Oreo it no longer works, the Dev knows this, and knows how to make it work, but it would be blacklisted on the Play store.

I tried Blacklist Blocker from Fdroid, and that worked well on Oreo.

Now that I am on Pie, Blacklist Blocker no longer works either.

The best I can do is, do not disturb for anyone that is not in my contacts.

Does anyone know of a call blocker that actually works?
