My MMS works fine on TMobile.

Download the app Network Profile and Select T-Mobile.

Reboot, and done. Works perfect.

Good luck.
[Focus General] rush_ad:
this didn't work for me... can't figure out why
[Focus General] tarusdg:
I have an unlocked Omnia 7 and that method worked for me as well. I have the Android data plan on T-Mo. Which do you have?
[Focus General] rush_ad:
I do not have data plan. But for T-Mobile USA I do not need to have data plan to use MMS features. MMS work fine without data plan on HD7, Samsung Vibrant etc. I believe it is a settings issue.

As per the Network Profile app, I am not even able to select T-Mobile USA from the selection menu. The dots (those moving dots from left to right) keep on moving and then eventually the app closes. When I restart the Network Profile app, ATT is selected. I have auto selection option enabled in the Network Profile app but it does not automatically select T-Mobile USA.
[Focus General] rush_ad:
Do you have ATT Samsung Focus and are you using MMS on T-Mobile USA?
[Focus General] rush_ad:
for T-Mobile USA users using ATT Samsung Focus, check this thread to have your MMS working

I have the ATT&T Focus. I unlocked it for T-Mobile using FastGSM. I have the Android data plan and everything works except MMS. I installed the Network Profile app, rebooted and it still doesn't work. I'll check out this link you just posted. Thanks!

i have the $10 data plan on t-mobile (phone first web) and i could not get data to work. i tried all the APNs and everytime i would get a screen asking for my subscription to be upgraded.

the only option is to get $30 5gb "unlimited" data which is a complete rip off for only 2G speed. :(

update: it seems that push mail works with internet2.voicestream.com APN settings. i am able to send and receive mail via gmail.

perhaps t-mobile is blocking port 80 access based on user agent strings?

AT&T samsung focus I917 unlocked for Tmobile use issues with mms picture sending

i was able to get my samsung focus unlocked for .99 cents on ebay, after days trying to get my mms working, the network profile app worked for me! thanks!
[Focus General] benjammin:
I called AT&T to unlock my Focus so i could give it to my wife who is on T-Mobile. Unlocked it, installed the Samsung app from the marketplace, and everything is good. MMS full size pics, txt, etc. TOO good. She doesnt have a data plan but internet IS working (w/WIFI off i mean). A couple of minutes after i unlocked the phone, a message came in from T-Mobile saying that now she could use pay-per-use data. Not good (for my situation).
[Focus General] hwalker84:
Anyone get visual voicemail working for this phone on Tmobile?
[Focus General] pseudoware:
Something else to try for MMS:

I installed the NP app after the T-Mo sim was already in and I had been using the phone for a few days. MMS only worked after I removed the sim, powered on/off, then put the sim back in.

Focus S on T-Mobile

I purchased a Focus S and got the unlock code from AT&T. As stated previously, data works but only 2g. Ok for web browsing but it takes awhile to download apps/music etc.

I also had trouble viewing MMS (I would tap the 'get media content now' link, and receive some error message). I downloaded the Network Profile ap by searching for Samsung on the marketplace. MMS works great now. A bizzare thing is when I used the Network Profile app, it seems to have erased my favorites in internet explorer. Not sure why that would be. No other data lost as far as I can tell.

One other strange issue I've noticed is that I cannot use the t-mobile data network while I'm on the phone. I I have to switch to wi-fi. I also can't receive phone calls while I'm actively using the cell data network. It rings on the other end, but not on my phone, and evenutally goes to voicemail. Maybe this is the way it's supposed to work? Anyone else experiencing this problem?
[Focus General] cognus:
anyone know if Tmobile will just get the model into their lineup? seems this would be a slam dunk since they do so well with the galaxy on droid....
[Focus General] rush_ad:
Yes there is a trick to do this. You have to send a text/sms as follows:

To the number: 122

And include the text: Activate:dt=6

I don't know if this is case sensitive or not but the way I wrote works. After you send the text, wait for 5-10 mins and then restart the phone. Hope that it works.
[Focus General] Technosquid:
My dad is using a samsung focus on T-Mobile service with no data plan, except the outrageously-priced $1.99/mb pay-per-use data they require. Accordingly, I have his phone set to cellular > data connection > off.

Unfortunately, switching data off also breaks MMS data, which is free to send and receive under his text/mms plan. I guess it was pretty naive of me to think that this data would come through anyway, or could be received through wifi. The confusion I had over this is what initially brought me to this thread. I thought I'd mention this just in case this is the solution to someone else's problem as well. From the screens I've seen of the cellular data screen in build 8773, it doesn't look like this will change in Tango. Hopefully it will change in WP8.

Now I either have to teach him to only switch data on briefly to receive mms, or sign him up for the lowest tiered data plan t-mobile offers.
[Focus General] cognus:
i was never able to get the Focus to read a T-mobile sim - interested to hear what others figured out.

I don't think it had anything to do with that particular handset: I tried three or four diff sims on my OWN phone [which works fine in spite of this] and could never get an acceptance of the default 1234/12345 unlock codes. I have never setup a sim with my own code, and got one of these supposedly "brand new" from t-mobile dealer/store, so.....

as to the plan, why not try him on what I use: the lowball prepay $30/month talk/text/data plan? unless he is talking or texting a LOT, it will do the trick. 300mb data but remember that wifi doesn't count [actually my current handset does not even need a sim to hop on wifi]. so, I only turn "on" data enabled when I know for sure that I need it. its plenty for the occasional phone num or map lookup or MMS message from someone I care about.
[Focus General] Technosquid:
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but do you just need a sim/carrier unlock code for the samsung focus? People sell codes on ebay for as little as $0.99. I don't know if these are generated algorithmically based on the IMEI, or if they're actually contacting someone to get the unlock code, but the one I bought worked.
[Focus General] cognus:
since I did not prove it I don't have the whole answer: what I do know is the "unlock" typical method does not work for the Focus. What is reputed to work is far simpler: insert a foreign sim, give it the SIM PIN, the type 'NCK' and you're done.

need someone that's actually DONE it to weigh in
[Focus General] Technosquid:
Is it possible you're confusing SIM PIN (a four-digit code you put on your SIM card to keep it from being used without permission) with a SIM unlock code (an eight-digit code you enter to unlock your phone to be used with any carrier's SIM?)

It sounds like you're pretty savvy about these things, but it also sounds an awful lot like your phone is asking for the SIM unlock code because you have a foreign SIM inserted, not a SIM PIN.

Anyway, I can tell you, all I did with my AT&T-locked Samsung Focus was insert a T-Mobile SIM, enter the eight-digit code I bought on ebay for $1, and it unlocked. Do your self a favor, blow $1, and try it out.
[Focus General] cognus:
i appreciate this post. sounds like you have the 'proof in the pudding'.

the one long thread I read on this that sounded like it was authoritative referred to the code as the "sim pin" with no reference to digits [8, 5, 4]. T-mobile folk told me that older sim has default 1-2-3-4 code, newer ones 1-2-3-4-5 ... nothing about 8's. where did you get the 8-digit code? how to set if need be?

thanks for your post!

:)
[Focus General] Technosquid:
What a great way to get up to 10 posts :D

Well, like I said, I bought my code on ebay. It's probably frowned upon to link to individual listings, so I'll just give you this general search.

samsung unlock code (focus,i917)

Pick one of those, send them your IMEI, and they send you your carrier unlock code.

To be honest, this "SIM PIN" / SIM Security thing is something I had to google. I don't think it's very commonly used. Apparently if you enter the wrong PIN three times you need to get a new SIM. The SIM security code for the T-Mobile SIM I got in 2010 was 1234.

What your focus is asking you for is the eight-digit carrier unlock code. Based on the other thread you're referring to, it sounds like if your SIM had security enabled, it would be asking you for that four-digit code first. The fact that you've guessed the code more than three times confirms this. I don't know if there's another way to get this code, but $1 via ebay works for me.
[Focus General] cognus:
curiouser and curiouser

the i917 I had ... I did exactly that, except I dunno now if it was the same unlock outfit -but one that has done a couple thousand such... anyway, sent them the IMEI [triple checked it...] and their database came up with "not found", so they refunded my bucko.

nuts....

I think I'm just going to pay up and get the galaxy s 4g .... stick with droid warts and all :rolleyes:
[Focus General] Technosquid:
Off-topic, but if you have a Microsoft Store near you, and have an old non-windows-phone smartphone, you can participate in the "smoked by windows phone challenge" and trade in that old phone to get a Focus S. No contract, just a straight-up swap for your old smartphone. Apparently they'll even take Symbian s60. Runs through March 29th.

[Droid 2 General] cberman:
Hi all. I've been a long time lurker here.

I've got a friend with a Droid 2. He cracked the digitizer on his Droid 2. I told him I would make an attempt to replace it for him. In the process of replacing the digitizer, i accidentally broke the main flex cable. I was not able to find a Droid 2 replacement for the flex cable but noticed that the original Droid shared a very similar looking cable. (As well as sharing some of the same hardware). I ordered one of those and replaced it as well.

The phone is now up and functioning but the LCD is extremely dim, even at max brightness. I assume that perhaps the ambient light sensor has changed. During bootup, the motorola logo seems to be at normal brightness. Is there some software solution to force the brightness higher, or does anyone know of a site that stocks a decent amount of Droid 2 parts?

Any ideas would be welcomed.

Thanks in advance

This is simply a Flashable ZIP I made out of eugene373's Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo.tar.md5 for those of you that don't feel safe using / can't use Odin.

It flashes his kernel, modem, and the stock JK2 system.

The only change I made was adding the Stock Android Keyboard and upgrade Superuser.apk !

Rom Manager works... OCLF should work...

Working GPS.

Wi-Fi Calling.

This is a Vibrant kernel and a Vibrant ROM. It was built FOR the Vibrant.

Flash via ROM Manager or Clockwork Recovery... Disable Voodoo... blahblah...

This flashes a kernel + ROM so it can be flashed over Macnut, it can be flashed over old AOSPish, it can be flashed over JFD, it can be flashed over...ANYTHING except Voodoo Lagfix!

Install Astro File Manager. Then open it, hit Menu, hit Preferences, and Enable Browser Downloads.

After running Logcat I noticed that this was missing a file. /system/etc/dbus.conf

I don't know what it does, but Logcat complained about it often. I think this may cause 'battery life' to not be as well, but it didn't seem to have any issues. I am uploading another new one right now that has this file. It didn't get pulled when I pulled the system so I copied over the one from Obsidian and the Logcat stopped complaining about it.

I attached dbus.zip for those of you that don't want to redownload the ROM and want to 'fix' this. Just unzip it and put dbus.conf in /system/etc via adb push or root explorer.

If you aren't sure if you need it, check your /system/etc folder in root explorer and see if dbus.conf is there. If it isn't, add it. I didn't notice any issues other than logcat complaining with this file's absence.

Connectivity issues resolved. See below.

Flashed this over McNut R9, was having issues with the R9 with data connectivity and signal (none).

cwm flash worked just fine and nuked the I-9000 boot animation replacing it with the T-Mobile 'Stick Together'

Currently sitting in class, showing 1-3 bars of signal, however I cannot get onto the internet via UMTS, more peculiar is that even though I am showing signal, when I go to dial out I get a 'Not registered on network.' error. Cannot text out 'Currently unable to send your message. It will be sent when the service becomes available.'

Turning on WiFi Calling will allow me to dialout, receive calls and send/receive text messages. Interestingly while WiFi and subsequently WiFi calling is turned off signal, like I mentioned before, will flucutate from 1-3 bars (no data indicator), but when WiFi is turned on, there is no flucuation in the signal strength indicator, it is pegged at zero bars.

When I turn the WiFi back off, and go into Settings -> About Phone -> Status

Network: Unknown

Signal Strength: -99dBm 7 asu

Mobile network type: HSDPA

Service State Out of Service

Mobile network state: Disconnected

Turn WiFi on w/ WiFi calling enabled

Network: T-Mobile

Signal strength: -113 dBm 0 asu

Mobile Network Type: GPRS

Service State: In service

Mobile network state: Disconnected

Build: FROYO.UVJK2

Firmware: 2.2

Baseband: T959UVJK2

Kernel: 2.6.32.9

Now, that being said I admittedly may be in a class room where I cannot receive T-Mobile service, but if that was the case, I would expect the signal indicator to accurately reflect that...

w/ WiFi

w/out WiFi

I will check again when I'm in a place I know I get signal and update this post. Could just be a wierd way that the software handles no signal, or it could be a screwed up radio from a previous flash, but I was under the impression that this zip had a JK2 radio included. Can anyone rip the JK2 radio and post it here so I can just try to cwm restore that?

Edit: Turns out there was just little/no signal where I was, radio works just fine. Still bizarre though.

I have a deodexed version, well at least sort of one. I did it myself with the deodex manager, but a couple of apps did not work, so I grabbed those from the obsidian rom. I just did it last night so I need to test a bit, but will post later today/tonight. It seems that a much better or more knowledge person than me would have already done this, but I have asked around and if its been done (which it has for every single rom) them nobody is sharing it. So I figured out how to do it myself. If you want to learn how to do it for the future brut.all (I think that is it) has all kinds of different scripts to help out.
