Yeah the LG fiasco with the boot loop on the G4 (and the V10 although they still hem and haw about that one) was handled very poor by LG and it will hurt them for some time.  T-Mobile (and Verizon) tried a few years ago to give Sony a chance to re-enter the US market and both got s******d for doing it as it didn't go as well as Sony had hoped so they just pulled the plug on support and everything and pulled out leaving just the TMO and VZW versions of the Z3 without the OS update that year. So then you have Google and the Pixel but VZW keeps paying to be exclusive on it and while it works on TMO you have to go to Google or VZW to get one so you can't EIP it or JUMP to it. TMO used to be one of HTC's biggest customers but now HTC is barely treading water so no US carrier sells their phones directly anymore.  After that you have some smaller 3rd party players but nothing that any of the US carriers will carry and my guess is the individual tailoring that they want or in the case of TMO need so the device can take advantage of all the "features" the TMO network supports.  So yeah pretty much leaves Samsung at that point;  I have had every S since the 2 and have had 2 Notes one being the Edge and the only 2 screens I have broken (well 1 for me 1 for my ex-wife) were clearly our issue.  Mine S6 came out of my shirt pocket when I bent over and it went face first with no case onto the pavement, it didn't even shatter since the GG4 it had doesn't shatter it just got a crack which I couldn't even feel on the surface.  The other was an S5 also but that one my wife (at the time) was using my phone and trying to walk and talk then tripped and rather than let the phone go used it to break her fall and shattered the screen. I have the S8 now and love it other than since I preordered and it showed as larger than my S7+ I got the regular S8 when actually getting to look at both phones physically would have gotten the 8+ since the new dimensions make the + not seem so big even though the screen size is actually larger.

The picture message issue there is a way to get that to work it is just a matter of tweaking the settings and APN.  I am surprised with a TMO SIM card in it and on TMO network you should be able to dial the short code number for VM (123 I believe) and have never had anyone try to install the visual voicemail app on a non branded phone. I don't even use regular VM, I just use the app since it is so much easier.  The hotspot yeah that one sucks but it's more for security and or abusers that it's locked out and requires coding in the OS for security so that folks that don't have hotspot or a small amount can't use 3rd party software to get around it, so as usually the handful of cheats/abusers screw it up for everyone.
