        @galestrike For receiving SMS, try changing from 4g to 3g. That works for a lot of people.

          You should be able to receive AT&T 4g sms/mms

          Known issue, you can not recive MMS when using wifi. Reset APN settings, reboot drive, input new settings, try reciving SMS/MMS on 4g.

            Also I would move off stable and move to RC if you can, things have been fixed in RC.

              @trwidick Sorry, to be more specific, I'm on cricket, so I don't know if those settings will work for me. Cricket is on AT&T infrastructure though.

                I might have just fixed the error. I enabled the options in the APN settings and I seem to be able to use 4G at first glance.

                  4G seems to work but no luck with MMS in. Could be some APN settings that I need to get right then.

                    MMS APN Cricket

                    Name: Internet
                    APN: Endo
                    MMSC: http://mmsc.aiowireless.net:80
                    MMS Proxy: proxy.aiowireless.net

                    This will be for MMS you will also have one for internet. If this works past both internet and mms setting for every one to see.

                      @trwidick No luck. Still very wishy-washy with SMS in too. I think I just have to move back to Lineage until I get time to learn how to debug this correctly.

                          @trwidick I'll keep messing around with it every morning. I'll let you know if I get it working.

                                    @captainzer0 SMS is now 100% reliable. See this update from @fredldotme :

                                    https://forums.ubports.com/topic/6039/bounty-for-pixel-3a-halium-9-stability/18?_=1630188659271

                                    MMS photos are reliable in / out with wifi OFF. Wifi ON and it is a problem, but broader than the P3a. MMS group messages can be sent but receiving they get "lost" (this is with wifi OFF again, with wifi ON, MMS group messages fail like MMS photos).

                                      Pixel 3a XL here on development channel. Cricket wireless. After mixing and matching multiple apn solutions to get mms working, I figured I'd share my fix. Hopefully it'll save someone the heartache I just went through, haha.

                                      WIFI off

                                      2g/3g/4g connection type

                                      APN stuff. Modify existing two and save

                                      -Cricket Internet-
                                      Used for
                                      Internet
                                      Name
                                      Cricket Internet
                                      APN
                                      Endo (think this was the main fix from default ndo)

                                      -Cricket MMS-
                                      Used for
                                      MMS
                                      Name
                                      Cricket MMS
                                      APN
                                      ndo
                                      MMSC
                                      http://mmsc.aiowireless.net
                                      Proxy
                                      192.168.196.78

                                      I believe changing the Cricket Internet to Endo helped with a conflict of both mms and internet being stock set to ndo? Not sure, but that was the last thing I tried before giving up, and it started working.
                                      Hope that helps

                                        I think you are right: in other testing we had similar issues when there were 2 entries with the same APN (one for "Internet" and another for "MMS"). Eventually the best answer will be the ability to set "Internet and MMS" as the APN type, but that is not sticking or working right now.

                                          Update. Everything worked. Everything. Now it appears to be denied access. Sigh.

                                            Apparently the verizon access point cell booster in the faraday cage-like place I work kicked me. Walked outside and got it back.

                                            So the fix works so far! Just not the darn access point here. Will play more with it.

                                              Further update. With no changes, the access point now accepts me. I guess I was initially kicked for being a suspicious new device? Idk how those devices work. Stable now, though.

                                              So with further testing, it seems you can swap ndo and Endo interchangeably between Cricket Internet and Cricket MMS, as long as they're one or the other, and not both the same.

                                              Initial testing sees slightly faster speeds with ndo on Internet, but the ip address location isn't accurate. Which is actually kind of a good thing imo

                                              Also, I changed the MMS entry to mirror the cricket website apn settings.
