Anyone know how to turn on my APN settings menu in my Verizon LG G2 VS980 running CM11? I have 4 of the phones and all of them have the menu except for one. I used the same install routine on all of them. Maybe I need to flash a different modem? I flashed the 12B modem on all of them and the 12B baseband.
Any ideas would help out alot! Thanks much. btw I can connect to the T-Mobile tower on the phone but not send texts. The other phones all work with everything.
EDIT: I wanted to note that when I download the APN Shortcut app it bombs like the menu doesnt exist.

Strange enough, the menu just showed up on its own. So weird.

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.

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.
my 2 cents

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!
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.

You don't happen to have a link to a guide on how to change the APN settings to Factory Default?

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.

Id this what you are looking for?
http://buzzmobile.us/verizon-apn-settings-verizon-mms-settings-android-phones/
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.

Hello from a noob. I have done the saferoot, text edited the sales dat to AWS and changed the other file (forget the name) from OFF to ON. Basically I switched the IMEI on my Metro account to a 545. I kept the same SIM. The store says there demo SIM does not pick up the internet either. The internet worked for 2 minutes and now there is no logo (4g lte, H+ etc) and no connection to the internet at all. I have tried going into the bands etc. but I think I'm missing something (I guess obviously). I have done "everything". Updated the APN settings etc. etc. It is stock rom except the root and the minor text edited changes. It is on 4.3 android. Can anyone out there please tell me how to turn off the stupid VZN LTE band option (I think that is my problem) however when I put in the *#276... command it doesn't pull up the menu that lets you access the band option like I've seen on Youtube. It gives me a different menu with UMTS at the top. I still haven't found the turn off the VZN LTE option. Any help at all would be appreciated. The dialing and text messaging work so it's a clean phone but for some reason the phone is blocking my damn internet. Thanks for the help.
When you installed the MetroPCS SIM, did you configure the APN to use their network?

Yes sir. I have done it all and nothing has helped. My only thought is finding that switch for the Verizon band or something else in the programming but I can't get to that damn menu. And the *#276.. number is not working on the phone anymore either.
So for those interested that may have Metro and are having the same problem I finally just updated the phone with the stock 4.4 firmware (clean wipe and all that) with Odin and it now works and the LTE no longer shuts off. After hours and hours of agony I finally did it. I tried rooting and everything on 4.3 and I don't care that I lost root - I'm just glad it works now. I do appreciate for what it's worth all the information on here and best wishes to you guys for all the future modding, unlocking the bootloader and all of that. See you around.
Really love the Lollipop rom, but since I am on Bluegrass Celluler, when the rom is installed, the data connection doesn't work. No phone or sms or mms is available. Bluegrass uses their own roms and special data connection settings to work with Verizon towers. If any one has overcome this, I would like to know. Have googled to no end and never found an answer to get phone and sms working with custom roms with Bluegrass Cellular as the carrier. Thanks guys......
bluehrass
I feel your pain ......I too am with bluegrass and I tried several Roms on my moto x 2014. I had no service or internet either. I went back with my backup the first few times no problem then I had trouble with recovery, getting phone to see the files etc....anyway after a few days I finally got back to my original but now my cell signal is weak and data is horrible...no 4g ever and seldom even 3g....maybe I picked up the wrong baseband or modem along the way??? If anyone has any advice or a bluegrass baseband I could try it would be much appreciated ....thanks in advance.....
I have an S4 mini and it updated using Samsung Kies. After that no data connection. Bluegrass re-flashed it for me. It seems this is something they do on a regular basis. You might try that.

You Can Correct The Issue With Advanced Signal Status from the app store.
Possibly try..

CM12.1 D2VZW from download.cyanogenmod.org worked for me on PagePlus. I don't recall if BlueGrass is a provider or reseller, hear ccommercial often. At worst you will have to edit APN and or ##DATA setting. I would recommend downloading Partition Backup from Play Store by wanam. At minimum open menu and choose Backup first blocks. That makes a unbrick image for real emergencies. I would also backup your efs, modem, modemst1 and modemst2. The first time I installed CM12.1 I lost my network/serials and sound. I had the best luck with 5-17-2015 nightly, which kept my sound. Worst case you can do like others suggested and take it in store for restore. Maybe with some talking you can obtain the actual restore file.
Note : Check the ##MSL settings on bg rom and note the settings for adding into the custom rom of your choosing. Code is typically 000000,but maybe different. This is a subset of service program only available on TouchWiz/Stock roms
Hey, got the phone and sms working using Advanced Signal Status from Google Play. Thanks for your reply. The major issue I am having now is no sound at all and no mic with any Serrano Lexx Lollipop rim. I have an S4 Mini SCH-I435L.
I tried to edit the APN settings on my V10 and I am unable to do anything but modify them. I can only add? Anyone else notice this? I am on stock ROM, but I am rooted. Thanks
Dial 277634#*#
In the hidden menu, click on unlock apn, reboot. Then you can edit them...

I have modified mine a couple times as i once was having mms issues - what exactly happens when you change yours?
Did mine yesterday, didn't have LTE only 3G.
From the settings icon I went in with DATA enabled, if disabled if wasn't able to make any changes.
If I'm on the T-Mobile unlimited what APN settings can I choose from?
I know when I had straight talk I could change back and forth between Straight Talk and one or two other ones but I don't know anything about T-Mobile and the different APNs you can use
