TMobile issues

@nutmeg the patches, I THINK, address MMS (only) so that you can send / receive MMS (group messages, images, animated gif, etc) but don't affect, I THINK, SMS functionality. With the MMS patches applied, it did NOT solve the "no SMS incoming" for me. That only came by turning off wifi and then rebooting.
Can you please try that and confirm or deny if it sends you SMS? If that does NOT work, reset the APN settings then, still with wifi OFF, reboot and see if the SMS will come then. After SMS comes, try turning ON wifi and see if you can still get SMS. Then if you are willing, turn off wifi, reboot, confirm you CAN get SMS again. I have tried various scenarios like above with mixed results. I haven't isolated how to reliably get SMS, but it is something along the lines of resetting APN, keeping wifi off, rebooting, and MAYBE toggling between 4G (LTE) and 3G (with reboots).
Again this is not a solution, it is only attempting to be able to reproduce where the problem is.

@rik I tried all of the above. There was no change. With wireless on and in 4G, I can send but not receive. With wireless off, reboot, and in 4G, send but not receive. Same with 3G. I am going to try and pick up a Red Pocket SIM on the way home and try that, will report. Looks like AT&T is the only game in town where I am.

@nutmeg again, as noted in other threads, this is now solved: SMS is 100% reliable in and out, 4G, 3G, or no cellular data, or on wifi.
MMS don't work on wifi, that is a problem bigger than the P3a. But on cellular data, MMS photos work fine in and out. MMS group messages can be sent, but not received.

@rik It's surprising, but if I use your MMS APN settings with my Google Fi SIM (which gets set to T-mobile values after installing the SIM), then I can send MMS but cannot receive. I do have wifi off and have rebooted.
