It actually also has LTE Band 4, but it was never activated in firmware. There are ways to select radio bands on Lumias (see my post at WindowsCentral for the 1520 (RM-940) for AWS HSPA+), however it doesnt appear to work on CDMA Windows Phones and I haven't found a way of calling up the Field...

I switched to Cricket from Verizon, now running a Nexus 6 and it's great. $35/month for 2.5gb ($5 autopay discount). AT&T coverage, which is pretty solid on the east coast (NYC region). Only difference is that LTE is capped at 8mbps, but Verizon's network has been degrading over time and i'm...

There is no way to get the MMS APN settings to show up unless you have the old Windows Insider app still and use the method I described. That said, people have had success getting the Icon to work on T-Mobile by hard resetting it without a SIM card in (see Windows Central Lumia Icon forums)...

Which version of the M8 do you have? AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon?

Please make sure you actually read the thread with the instructions, as it is clearly stated how to accomplish the hack. If you have further questions, please be specific. For the Lumia Icon you need to have: A) Windows 8.1 and B) the OLD version of the Windows Insider app. You can then change...

Only way to do it is if you didn't update the Windows Insider app. You can alter the WPFlights.xml file used to workaround the Windows 10 TP update process to make registry edits. I started a thread on it, but unless you have the old version of the app you can't do it

I actually just turned this off this afternoon on my Lumia Icon on AT&T. Looks like its in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Messaging\PerProvidersettings\0\ I see AllowSendingDeliveryReport, MMSGroupText, SMSDeliveryText, SMSDeliveryNotify, RequestDeliveryReport among other things.

Fair enough. Its a bit weird that only Nokia put out any kind of program to re-flash phones, but I have a feeling that the app Microsoft has put out will, going forward, be used to reflash any Windows Phone that is having problems. They kind of need to provide that functionality if they are...

Realized that after posting, my bad. Thought it was a more recent post for some reason, but its still weird it doesn't show up properly

Generally I think you are out of luck until they launch the Windows 10TP for HTC M8's. When that happens, you should be able to use the Windows Phone Recovery Tool to re-flash your phone. It looks like it's basically a re-skinned version of the Lumia Software Recovery tool, and it only makes...

I haven't risked updating the Windows Insider app to get it to work at the moment, waiting to see if they can figure out a workaround. That said, there is a thread in the WindowsCentral forums about getting it to work by installing and then deleting Nokia Access Point. Can't vouch for the...

What network are you on? Can you edit The Internet APN and MMS APN settings? Are you still able to connect to a proxy in wifi? If your APN settings are hidden, it's possible you just need to do a few registry edits to re-enable APN, however you need to be able to proxy. Unfortunately there is...

No, don't reset your phone or you will lose it since it reverts back to the original OEM/Carrier settings. I left the XML basically intact except for the last part (see below) because I don't have a lot of experience (computers, and even more so xml/programming, is just a hobby of mine) and I...

Yes, I should have clarified I AM NOT running the Windows 10TP on my Lumia Icon. I only used the method for the inherited permissions so I could write to the registry. I actually couldn't get this working in Windows 10 TP, only on Windows 8.1 on a Lumia Icon w/ 8.1.1 and an HTC One M8 with...

In Navifirm+ you can search for the product code. Weirdly, it's greyed out but does register as a legitimate code and I am able to download the ROM.
