Hello,
My network operator uses configuration message to let you use Mobile Data
so i sent a message to 250 with the word "set" as i always did on the Samsung Stock Rom
but with the CM10, I didn't receive anything
and in the message app on the samsung stock rom when i click the menu button, there was an option for managing Configuration Messages
but that's seems to be missing on CM10
{Q} Is CM10 able to use Configuration message somehow or what ?!
The point of the configuration messages is so that you can install the APN settings for the particular carrier you're on. CM10 will automatically install the APN settings for your carrier (unless you're on a ridiculously obscure carrier) so there's no need for the configuration messages.
Are you getting a data connection? If you are, a then all good. If not, check your APN settings and see what's happening there.

No, I don't get any connection without that configuration message
and Where is that APN settings ?!
Settings then more settings then mobile network then access point
Andrew have you seen where the default CM APN's don't cover a given carrier? I've been on a pretty obscure carrier with custom ROM and still been fine...

Iv never had problem with apns till I stuck a different Sim in a stock Rom.
I am unable to get reliable data on my CM11 rom on my razr maxx. I have checked all the network setting with a friend's whos is working and there are two differences:
1. His APN is grayed out
2. I do not get a "pass" on HTTP client test when I go into #*#*4636*#*#
When I fire up the phone it connects at 3G. It then takes about 10 minutes to go to LTE. When it does, it is DOG slow.
I also have the same issue with CM11 roms on my Incredible 4G LTE. It was thinking it was the sim, but it works fine on a stock rom. I have seen other folks with similar issues, but no resolution.

Brilliant! Fixed.
I did have to change the permissions on the APN app before moving it. After restoring the APN's from stock, I did have to go in an select the appropriate one.
Follow-Up
After about a day of use, this stopped working. This morning, I was unable to connect via LTE. If I chose an appropriate APN, it would not stay selected (if I went back into APN's after making a change it would be set to something else).
What I did to fix this was to use APN Backup and Restore to delete all the APN's and then restore ONLY the APN's from the stock ROM. So far, it is working.

It looks like the APN's get jacked when I use WIFI. Any thoughts?
Probable Fix - By ME! (CDMA ONLY - XT912)
This is what I did to fix the issue. It doesn't just fix the LTE, but the entire connection overall. (Atleast for me, please leave a follow up if you try this).

I just tried this in an attempt to resolve my LTE connection issues and APN issues with CM11. Rebooted the phone and it quickly connected to 4G LTE. Will let you know if it doesn't work. Verizon XT912 user in California.

I have been having issues connecting to the LTE network. Right now, there is no solution. I have tried almost everything. I have even tired flashing back to stock with RSD Lite. I made sure that it wasn't the SIM card (i have had issues with the SIM before on a different phone) by putting it in a different/newer 4G LTE device and it connected to 4G LTE with no problem. My RAZR will connect to 4G LTE when I am in certain areas, but the connection isn't a lasting one. It will quickly switch back to 3G. I contacted Verizon Wireless and even took it into a store. They told me that it's the upgrades that they're doing to the network. While the customer service representative said that my model of the RAZR was just outdated and is probably experiencing hardware issues. My solution used to work, but now it's something else. (Hardware or Network related). My suggestion would be to contact Verizon about the issue (revert to stock first; if you need a link as to how to do that, PM me and I will help point you in the right direction.)

I am currently testing a solution. Will report back.

Have you tried APN Backup and Restore on CM 11? There are some other flashable fixes as well that I have seen. APN Backup and Restore has worked a few times but I have to do it after every restart.

I haven't. BUT I'm running on my stock ROM right now. And it's having trouble connecting. I have to restart just to get 4G. And it lasts for a few seconds and then (in the *#*#4636#*#* testing menu) the signal strength turns all weird (I'll provide the number of dBm later when it comes back). Then goes straight to 3G and no matter how hard I try, it won't switch back to 4G unless I restart. I think it could have something to do with the radio (well obviously it is). But something serious that we can't fix unless we have an unlocked bootloader. If frickin' Motorola would let us unlock the device, then we'd be golden.
WiFi tethering worked like a charm on 4.3 (stock), but it will work for a few minutes and then cut out. However, it still seems as though my HAM2 has data. The tablet I'm tethering still shows itself connected to my phone, but with the exclamation mark that shows no data is being received. I've had this problem as soon as I updated to 5.1. I'm on T-Mobile and have "Always-On Data" setting selected.
Pretty sure this is a software issue since it was perfectly fine before updating. Anybody have any luck dealing with this?
Try going to settings>more>mobile network>access point names...find the APN you are using (should be fast.t-mobile.com)
Add ",dun" to the end of APN type

I seem to be getting absolutely no help on the original moar rom thread and ive been without a data connection for 2 weeks now with no hope or luck of fixing it. i flashed MOAR rom and now my data connection doesnt function whatsoever, i can make calls and texts but cant use mt 4g lte service or even 3g. when i go to the APN settings it shows "LTE - verizon Internet" but its greyed out and i cant click on it. when trying to set an APN manually i click save after i have entered th correct APN info but it doesnt save there is no selection for the APN i just created, how can i hack or force my phone to use an APN that i set?? flashing another rom is not an option because ive tried every rom in existence for my model and this is the only one i can get working that doesnt give me the "no sim card" message. theres gotta be a tweak or something i can do to force an APN right??
Same issue here.

Yea, i posted about 9 pages back, all i had to do was call straight talk and the lady reset my data and it was working great. in the meantime, you can still use data if you put your phone in CDMA only mode, but just call straight talk and they will fix it for you.
Im still using MOAR ROM with no issues at all, its really great.
My phone is the Boost Mobile XT1526. Running Cyanogenmod 13 by squid2. The latest build.
I've been using the Boost APN found here, and even though it works, its not ideal. I'd rather use the APN that's built into the ROM or the APN I pulled from the stock ROM.
My problem is that, for the life of me, I absolutely cannot get the APNs to stick. The APN that's built into CM13, doesn't stick. It disappears. And if I manually add the APN I pulled from the stock ROM, that disappears as soon as I hit save. I have no clue why. The only APN I can use is the one I linked to above. But that one isn't ideal. But I'll use it if I have to.
Can anyone help me with this that knows more about this then I do? I'd really love to use either the built-in APN or the APN I pulled from the stock ROM, if its even possible.
I have data so that's not my problem. I just can't send or receive MMS messages using the SMS app in Cyanogenmod.
Thanks!
If anything isn't clear then please tell me and I'll try to explain better. I suck at explaining.
Trying to get it to work too!
I'm having the exact same problems. I think it might be an issue with cellular network settings in CM13/MM roms (you'll notice clicking "Carrier Settings" in any of them causes com.android.phone to stop).
I've been playing around with various things, and I've found so far that using the Cypher rom (which doesn't have any Boost stuff baked in) I can put in the APN settings you linked to and send and receive MMS but LTE doesn't work. I then went back to Squid's CM13 rom (which is amazing, btw!) and LTE appears from install but changing any APN setting makes it fall over. Then I tried editing the Boost APN in deega/Buzbee2's flashable zip from "n.boost.ispsn" to "Boost_Mobile". I could flash that, and that does make it "stick" in the APN settings but, again, LTE disappears when I do this. Entries under the "Access Point Names" tab do seem to appear and disappear somewhat randomly whatever I do!
I've tried various other fixes suggested online, from root-deleting the telephony database to trying some SMS programs that let you put in the APN settings manually, but still nothing. I feel I'm close...but not that close I'll keep fiddling and see what happens but I'm not entirely sure whether this is a settings issue or a CM13 issue.
Thanks for replying. I'm gonna do some testing too. I had the same exact issue on CM12.1 so I don't think its a CM13 issue.
I wonder if there's a way to use adb or fastboot to force the APNs to stick?
I tried using the Boost APN I pulled from the stock ROM that Motorola or Boost put there and you'd think it'll work but no. It disappears as soon as I hit save.
I know CM13 has to be using some kind of APN because I have data, but I don't know what that APN is nor why I can't get the SMS app to use it so I can send MMS messages.
I'm confused but I'll figure it out. Maybe. :/
EDIT: I notice too that whenever I tried to get into Network Operators that com.android.phone would FC. I was able to get in there by putting my phone in airplane mode and rebooting. I can take the phone out of airplane mode while I'm in it without it force closing. But I'm not able to do anything. Kept saying "error while searching for networks" or something along those lines. So I just gave up for right now.
EDIT2: I noticed that in the file /data/data/com.android.settings/shared_prefs/com.android.settings_preferences.xml that it had APN settings in there that were blank for the most part. I tried editing that file to add my APN settings but it didn't help.
I've been testing things during the day and my hunch is there's a deeper problem with the LTE implementation in the 6.x roms (and earlier, perhaps, if you had issues with CM12 as well). It's difficult to know if this is Boost/Sprint related only - Buzbee2's flashable fix seems to be working for people on Freedompop and Virgin. I had a few issues today where my phone would be telling me I had LTE connectivity but web pages would give timing-out errors. I switched to Cypher which was solid on 3G where LTE had basically crashed. I sent MMS with manually inputted settings on Cypher again.
So I was left feeling that at the moment it's a choice between fast (patchy?) LTE speeds without MMS or solid (slow!) 3G with MMS. Hmm. It may be that current roms have a issue switching down and up between LTE and 3G...?
Looking at deega/Buzbee2's flashable zip it doesn't seem like it changes much, so it should be a settings issue, just as long as those settings can stick! Trouble is there might be multiple points of failure at present.
I dug up an interesting thread on the Moto G forum where a user who struggled with this on their phone found that Boost requires authentication for MMS over LTE but not on 3G:
Getting MMS to work on LTE made me pull my hair out. Virgin mobile(Boost) working on Sprint networks when it comes to MMS messages is an over complicated issue caused by the providers. When attempting to receive MMS on LTE networks with stock MMS or some 3rd party MMS apps it returns with a "HTTP error: Authorization Required". When trying it on 3G its no problem. Seems they required "Authorization" for MMS on LTE but not 3G - go figure. Hangouts basically works for all because the app itself doesn't use the phones APN settings. It tries (and does) to attain what carrier you are on and use its settings. In our case it will identify you are on the Sprint network and use those APN settings. Why don't we set our phones to the Sprint settings?...no LTE then.

Sounds eerily similar, but his fix file has disappeared into the mists of time and seems to have only worked on certain roms. Anyway, I'll keep digging and hope others might chip in.
I found a file called preferred-apn.xml in the data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/shared_prefs directory where you can set a preferred APN. Least I'm assuming that's what its for. But I need the APN id and I can't find the id for the built-in Boost APN.
I'll keep looking and testing stuff. Hopefully we can get this figured out.
I'm stuck with using 3G where I live. Boost/Sprint doesn't have LTE where I live. So LTE isn't a issue for me.
That's a good find. I think the APN ID refers to the line where you can find the details for the APN in the telephony database. There's some stuff on the Moto G forum about it here.
I'm guessing that the APN settings tab is pulling stuff from the telephony db and that your XML file is telling the phone which is the default. If so, maybe writing to the telephony.db (in the databases folder just along from shared_prefs) might make changes "stick", although if you delete that db it's recreated at reboot so it's not the originator of the data. My feeling is that there's a screwy connection between telephony.db and various other bits of CM13 right now...
Maybe taking telephony.db from a stock Boost rom and copying that in will do something.
I still have a backup of the stock ROM on my laptop. Tomorrow I'll pull the telephony.db and copy it onto my phone replacing the original one and see what happens.
Update:
I pulled the telephony.db from the stock ROM and copied it to my phone, replacing the original and I set the APNs in apns.xml to what I thought the APN should be. I wouldn't recommend it.
As soon as I rebooted CM13 stopped recognizing my sim card and the com.android.phone error popped up and wouldn't disappear. I couldn't do anything. Had no choice but to reboot into twrp and use its file manager to delete the db file. So that's a no go I guess.
I found a program for Linux (also available for Windows) called SQLiteBrowser which let's me open the telephony.db files and look through them. All of the APN IDs are stored in that db file. I'm going to use it to look through the telephony.db file for CM13 and get the APN IDs that I need. Then try to edit the preferred_apns.xml file to set it and see what happens.
EDIT: I'm looking through the telephony.db file from CM13 but there are no APNs in it for some odd reason. Wonder if we can manually add them if need be?
Finally working for me
Buzbee2 made some suggestions on his support thread so I tried them and - to my amazement - everything worked. Not immediately, I had to wait a few hours (for the APNs to be picked up from Boost?) but it did work.
So what I did was first go into airplane mode and entered the Boost_Mobile APN details that you can find everywhere online (and on Buzbee's support thread). When I switched off airplane mode those settings disappeared and those baked into Squid's CM13 (or flashed via Buzbee's zip) came back. Switched on airplane mode again, those disappeared and the Boost_Mobile one I entered and saved is there. I can't believe that's meant to happen, but there it is.
I then downloaded Google Hangouts. I'd heard it sorts out its own APN settings if you set it to be your default SMS program. I could send SMS through Hangouts but still no MMS. I gave up at this point as I had to go out.
Checked my phone a couple of hours later and my MMS sent via Hangouts had arrived. I tried a few more and they all worked. Then I tried the stock messaging app and that could send MMS too! I couldn't believe it. I uninstalled Hangouts (much prefer the simpler app) and went to bed. In the morning, no MMS. Reinstalled Hangouts, still no good. Left it a few hours and - yep! - MMS was back for all my MMS apps. I tested with and without wi-fi, knowing that Hangouts likes shortcuts , and it was all good.
So the moral of the story is...I have no idea. But either Hangouts sets the APNs for the whole rom, or some combination of the Boost_Mobile APN (even though it doesn't "stick") and Hangouts gets it going. Maybe set that up, leave it overnight, and see. It doesn't explain some of the weirdness in the carrier settings, but at least it might work.
I'll try that. ☺
Any luck, Debdude? My phone has not been perfect, with it refusing to switch down to 3G when out of LTE coverage, and MMS mostly sending but sometimes not, but acceptable for something running a cutting-edge rom. It'll hopefully improve as things mature.
