        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.

                                      So my current loadout on Release Candidate branch is this

                                      ndo

                                      -Cricket MMS-
                                      Used for

                                      Cricket MMS

                                      Endo
                                      MMSC

                                      80

                                      Sorry if this is all total common knowledge, but I couldn't find a straight answer for my particular situation. Here are my findings. Hope they help someone

                                        Installed UT OTA-19 yesterday on my pixel 3a xl.
                                        SMS/MMS are ok. I can send and receive SMS using 4g on telus network.

                                          For now it's not OTA 19, as it's RC, it can change untill final release ^^

                                            @albator Hi David. Are you in Canada or USA? I am in USA and I'm having problems receiving MMS. I can send/receive SMS. I can send but not receive MMS. My network is H2O (AT&T). The fields for APN are not enough to place all the settings information I get from H2O's website. Those field are practically the same for Telus, so I am confused since you could not possibly feed all that info in UT but MMS is working for you. It's weird.

                                              Hi, guys!

                                              Could you clarify a little bit more for me? Is this issue related to mobile provider settings or is something wrong with UT image for this device?

                                              I am condsidering to purchase Pixel 3a as a replacement of my Nexus 5 used on a daily basis, and want to be sure it's stable enough for that. I'm afraid to be left alone here in Russia struggling with core issues like this.
