I've been having problems for quite awhile now with the modem on my GS4. It started after I installed Hyperdrive RL14 so I tried switching ROM's, at the time not knowing what was wrong. I switched to the AOSP 4.4 ROM but still no fix. Then I found out about modems and tried flashing an original MDK modem to match my baseband. LTE is the only service that works for me, I can't use 3G or CDMA/EV-DO. I tried flashing the ME7 modem also but still to no avail. I can't make calls or send texts anymore and it's starting to get annoying....
Any idea what my next course of action should be?
Do you have Mobile Data checked and Network mode set to CDMA / LTE / EVDO?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, my LTE works and I have the preferred network set to CDMA+LTE/EVDO and access point on LTE-Verizon Internet. My Calling and Texteing isn't funtioning.
This has happened to me over the years. Sounds like the APN settings got corrupted. Unless you're savvy enough to edit system settings there are two alternatives.
1 Factory Reset
2 Odin back to stock and start over.

Have you tried to create a new APN with the Verizon settings? when I used Verizon I had a weird issue when I visited my wifes family way out in the sticks. I was messing around and ROM hopping because her family is boring and somewhere during the hopping I lost my voice and text... I didn't know it because I had no signal on their farm but on the drive home I created a new APN with the factory Verizon settings and it worked.
I flashed Hyper drive 11 or 12 a day or so later and I did not have to reimput anything, it just worked after that.

or a way to go into the root settings and change it? gimmie a minute I have ti somewhere and I will edit the post if I find it
I know it is in :
/system/etc/apns-conf.xml
I tried creating a new APN but it would never save, then I tried altering the current APN, it wouldn't save either :/
Eh I think I'll just ODIN a fresh stock and be done with this.
Edit-
I successfully ODIN'd a fresh stock ROM, however my calling/texting still does not work

It might even be a bad Sim card. I'd call VZW and get one shipped just in case.

Hey guys, I just came off of the Galaxy Note to the S3. I never keep the data option enabled all day because of the battery drain, plus I just manually update all my sync'd apps anyway so there's no need for it to drain my battery & use up my pre paid credits at the same time.
My problem is this. With the galaxy note when I would go to either send or receive an MMS I wouldnt have to have my data connection permanently on. It would automatically enable the connection to send or recieve the incoming MMS, download the pic for me then automatically disconnect it when it was done. No muss no fuss. The GS3 does not automatically enable data to retrieve ur messages, you instead get a little download button in ur text you have to click. Problem is even after I enable data and click download to retrieve my mms, 95% of the time nothing happens, no activity is shown that the pic is actually being downloaded and you just end up staring at the screen for an hour until you get bored and turn it off, without your mms.
Is there a setting somewhere or something I can hack that will turn on the feature that will automatically enable data to retrieve your mms just like I had on the note? Its a bit hard to believe they'd have it on there then disable it on their brand new one. Not everyone likes to have data on all day :|
Thanks guys

Hey, I had the same problem and I just fixed it. it will take you about 10 seconds.
1. go to mobile networks in wireless and networks.
2. choose access point names
3. menu button and choose New APN.
4. Im on AT&T so this is what I put (may be different if you have some other carrier)
Name: ATT PHONE
APN: Phone
that's all you have to put, everything else will already have values in there so dont change them.
5. once youre done with this just choose the APN you just created and your MMS will work.
**If you have a carrier other than AT&T then maybe this will work exactly the same, just find a phone with the same carrier and copy what's already there.
Thanks for the tip jon, however it still didnt work for me

Oh, that explains it. you could probably use the same method but copy the info from another phone using the Optus network. for example, here in the US, AT&T has several settings that I can choose from so if one doesn't work I can switch to another (which I did by inputting the info manually)
Maybe Optus has more than one setting so you can just use another. borrow a smartphone from someone and see what settings they have, if its different than what you're using now, try the one they have.
Hi
I also have this issue but it is important to note that there is nothing wrong with the MMS settings. The problem is caused by the S3 requiring Mobile Networking to be active to send and receive MMSs, but I choose to keep Mobile Network disabled unless I specifically wish to use it.
On my previous mobile of another make, even with Mobile Network disabled, the network would come to life to send and receive MMSs and then switch off again. The S3 does not behave this way and needs the Mobile Network to be specifically enabled manually.
This is an irritation! I would love to know if anyone has a fix or workround for this.
So.. there isn't a work around because its how they designed the phone eh. Is it something that they can tweak in a custom rom? Or do I just have to wait until the release the new galaxy note and hope they they put it back in again?

are you on AT&T? If so, with the Galaxy S the problem is not with your phone's settings but on AT&T's end. turns out that sometimes your phone just disconnects from their network and they have to reset it--takes the only about 2 minutes to do over the phone.
It's on US Cellular, calling then would fix it though?

Im not sure how US Cellular works. I have AT&T. before you called them you can check your settings and make sure mobile data is turned on and you can also check your APN settings. on my GS2 I have 2 settings for APN, one is AT&T the other is Cingular. on my Wife's GS3 she was having MMS issues so I added a second APN to her phone and it worked--for a while then it happened again, called AT&T and it was something on their end.
Ok, I suddenly have lost LTE data and cannot make phone calls.
I have pulled the sim card and reinserted but I keep getting a popup window asking me if I want to connect to Global and not CDMA/LTE. I change the request to LTE and make sure setting is there.
It won't connect to 4G. and keeps asking about Global.
I am rooted and ROM'd with unlocked bootloader and have even tried my trusty stock image -- no go!
All of my ROM backups have the same issue and I can't place a call.
:crying:
Yes, my bill is paid and in order.
What can I do? I doubt VZW will help me since it is a Dev Edition and I purchased through Samsung, not them.
APN settings seem to be blacked out so I cant change. It does allow me to delete it.
HELP! I need to place calls.

If it persists across different roms it sounds like either faulty sim or for some reason your modem or kernel is corrupted. I would re flash modem. After that try to re flash kernel. If that fails a new sim might be in order. I presume you have checked with another phone to be sure it's not a VZW problem.

Thanks! I will try the modem route first and then the kernel route.
Although each ROM has a different kernel, so I don't think that is the issue.
Yes, no problem with VZW as the other half's phone is working.
Data works on LTE for Internet but can't place any calls and all received calls do not ring phone: goes into VM.
Edit: at Verizon and not SIM card. New SIM card gives me voice but no data. Says voice roaming.
Ok, here is the problem after 2 new sim cards: Data is showing as "CDMA RX1TT" I cannot get data or voice now. Says voice is roaming with a triangle.
Is this a software setting or hardware setting? Something has changed on my phone, despite changing from stock to ROMS, etc.
VZW store is at a loss and though the rep was good, suggested I call top tier VZW support tomorrow and made notes in my account.
So, any clues as to what could cause this? Is my Dev phone now shot?
If it truly is an APN issue i can post my APN from my Verizon SGS4 and you can use an app called APN backup and restore to push it to your phone or push it manually using root explore and then set permissions. Let me know.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
You might have a corrupted EFS partition in which case you would need to restore a good copy of that. Some of the time its in LTE/GSM mode for whatever reason in which case you would need to change it to LTE/CDMA mode.

I had a "DUH" moment when I was in a similar situation. I had forgotten that I had enabled the hidden menu on my DevS4 and changed the "band" preferences to try and force the AWS band. This took the phone off of "automatic band connecting" and I was unable to connect to data. Once I remembered what I had done, I simply when back into the menu and switched from forcing AWS band back to "automatic". Just my 2 cents.

Hello Everyone! Sorry for the delay. Actually, this is what kinda occurred, as the 1/15 build of OctOs ROM which I flashed had an issue and it was posted on Facebook, which I didn't see until Saturday. It changed the CDMA subscription to NV and so even with stock or other ROM backup images, it carried over and didn't re-adjust. I had to reinstall that bad ROM, make some changes per OctOs instructions and BAM: all is well.
As you know on stock rooted, one cannot change certain settings and they were greyed out.
At least I got another backup sim card from VZW should I ever need to activate an older phone.
Thanks for everyone's help!
A week or two ago I updated to the latest version of the Resurrection Remix Rom. It seems this wiped my APN settings as I needed to use my mobile data today only to find that nothing was happening (no icons appearing in the status bar). The thing is, the link on the T-Mobile website that sends the text with APN settings to your phone doesn't work. I have tried manually setting the APN settings using different sources, but none of them work. To double check, I restarted my phone after each change, but still, nothing.
I am based in the UK and I'm on T-Mobile. Does anyone have a working APN config for T-Mobile that I can use?
Thanks in advance!

You can call T-Mobile and request APN for your device. In most countries, the carrier can also send a config sms that sets up the APN.
Also please make sure that Mobile Data is set to ON. It is overlooked in so many cases.
PS: Was your phone carrier-locked?
Name: everywhere
APN: everywhere
Leave everything else blank.
I'd guess you have other problems than just APN settings, try a full wipe and flash again.

@RazorMC, heheh it was on don't worry. And nope, unlocked.
Alrighty, heres my situation. i havnt been up to date with the Spyder community lately so i might of missed something but i need some suggestions. I decided to give my Uncle my Droid Razr so to keep him updated with software, i installed Safestrap (3.75), formatted the system, installed latest cm12.1 nightly, activated a mini cdma sim from straight talk and everything is running smoothly. the only problem i have is 3g/lte is not showing up. I get a signal bar with an ! beside them. i checked on straight talk website and it said i didnt need to modify verizons apn for straight talk but with Cyanogenmod, it gives you every carrier option under the son so what all should i have set to get a data signal? calling and texting works but no data.
i was gonna say screw it and rsd lite back to original moto firmware but looks like the rsd website is down.
I also have a verizon towered straight talk sim.
When I switched to my Droid 4 data came instantly.
When I switched to my Note 4 it took about 24 hours.
When I switched to the Razr Xt912 it was not happening right away. What I believed helped was switching over to the stock Rom and waiting utnil things activated. Took a bit. Could still take up to a day.
The only main issue I found is no LTE on any of the custom Roms. At least 4.4 and probably 5.0+
oh wow, i managed to get 1x to kick in but thats a 5kb data connection enough for mms

Go to setting, then mobile networks and place a check mark next to "Global". Re-boot and see if that helps. You can also try resetting the APN to default or manually set the APN for Straight Talk

I am currently running a V30+ on Sprint's network using the latest Resurrection Remix build. No matter what I do, I cannot manage to get LTE working. Sprint's LTE Internet APN selected and for network typed, I have CDMA + LTE/EvDo. I tried selecting only LTE, but I would not get any service even after reboots.
I've also tried the following steps:
1.) Flash AOSP ROM and make a backup
2.) Go back to Sprint Stock Rom
3.) Go through the setup process and wait until phone is connected and LTE is working.
4.) Restore AOSP backup
And still no LTE. What else can I do? Flash modem or would I have to edit build.prop?
Yes, it's very possible. I've gotten it working on the Aosip unofficial before. What made the LTE work for me was replacing the rom's modem with Sprint's official modem for the V30.

Delete the MMS proxy and port from APN. It should show "not set" for MMS port and proxies after. Also change network from "global" to "CDMA/LTE evdo". Hope this helps

Depends on the ROM. Most AOSP you just have to edit APN's. Depending on the stock ROM, you will need to flash modem and then edit APN's.

Any specific rom you can recommend? Every AOSP rom I've tried doesn't let me add dun. I'm back on stock now have it working, but still not as good as when I was on my pixel. For example, Netflix won't work on my TV and it won't let me chromecast it from my phone. Which kinda sucks. YouTube casts fine. I've kinda accepted it, but it would be nice to have it working.

Same thing been happening to me recently, is this something up with Sprint's end? IDK I asked about this happening a month ago and no one really seemed to have answers on the lgv30 chat. I can get APN settings to show up by removing the SIM card. and editing them then but even then my settings don't stick across reboots. I can usually get messaging to work by calling myself but that also doesn't stick.
