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.

This is great, especially for Verizon users. Can you add the ability to unhide APN settings? [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Cellular\MVSettings\IMSISpecific\Default\CellUX] "HideMMSAPN"="dword:00000000"...

I am having problems with my 1520 as well with MMS and Data, and it appears that other people in the other thread are having problems as well. I think its just buggy at this point, and I know there is something weird going on with APN's because I wasn't able to unhide the MMS APN in Windows 10...

Yes, works perfectly. Basically turned the Icon into the 930. MMS group and picture messaging has no problems, and internet seems to be consistent, though only H/H+ at the moment because I don't live in an area w/ AT&T AWS LTE. Here are the APN settings I used: Programming non-AT&T devices with...

Post deleted due to instructions moving to original post

I imagine there is a way to do it with the WPFlights.xml file, similarly to how internet Tethering is enabled. Unfortunately I don't have much experience with this, but I'm going to try to play around with it and see if I can get it to work. Assuming it is something like this, but would...

Thanks, this is awesome. When I upgraded to Windows 10 on my 1520, I now have the MMS APN setting hidden, while Internet APN is still available. This problem also manifests itself on Verizon Windows Phones like the Icon and M8, so do you think you can help provide a solution. It should be a...

Thanks, appears to be there on my Lumia 1520 (AT&T, which was hidden in W10) and should be there on the Icon. I am going to have to find a way to write to it now, since the Icon doesn't have an SD card slot. I wonder if its possible to use the Windows Insider App

Update: Now that we found a solution, I am updating this post with the instructions instead of leaving the solution further down in the thread. Solution: On Verizon (and possibly others), the ability to edit MMS APN settings is hidden. Thanks to the help of RustyGrom and AlvinPhilemon I was...

The GSM/LTE bands are unlocked. Other than MMS, it will work fine. All VZW phones have to be unlocked due to their deal for Band 13 Spectrum with the FCC.

I have one, happy to do what I can to try and help, short of bricking the phone. That said, very rudimentary knowledge of development, etc so you're going to need to do some instructing on what to do / try. Have a Microsoft dev account, so can easily dev unlock / sideload apps and possibly...

Really appreciate it Sent from my RM-860_nam_usa_100 using Tapatalk

I'm new to developing but would like to start getting more involved, and hopefully contribute to all the work in the Development & Hacking forum. This is a pretty basic question, but how do I go about mounting Nokia .FFU's as VHD's? Thanks a lot for the help

When you travel abroad and use the phone on a GSM carrier you will get data up to HSPA+, unless the carrier happens to share Verizons LTE band. The issue with Verizon LTE after you have used another APN is that Access Point won't deactivate all the APN settings,and since Verizon doesn't have...

The one warning I would give you with the 928 is that the APN settings are a little messed up, and you may need to play around with it a bit to get them to work. My experience (using the 928 on AT&T and T-Mobile in the US) is that you need to manually set the APN settings, even when Nokia Access...

1. There is no equivalent of rooting at this time, as Windows Phone is much more locked down than Android (comparable to iOS) and there aren't as many devs working on it 2. Nothing yet, but its very easy to developer unlock it to side load custom made apps 3. You are probably best off getting a...

Hey guys, new to posting on the forums but have followed them for the past couple of months and found them very helpful. Unfortunately, I dropped by Verizon Windows Phone 8x about a month ago and shattered the screen, and have been using a Galaxy SIII ever since. After using Windows Phone, I...
