Hi this is an odd one, but here goes. I am on Solavei and have to manually set apns well recently after reflash, the apn setting for mms protocol is completely missing. Checked the factory tmobile apns and they don't show it either. I have no idea how this happened but it's driving me crazy. I've reset and flashed 3 different roms all with the same issue. Any ideas or input would be much appreciated. As a result of no mms protocol, I can no longer send or receive mms.
wow apparently I stumped everyone. Or my question isn't clear?
Search on the google for your settings and Than set manually or you may ask for help to your service provider,
They will guide you and teach you set manual settings..

lol I have done that. There is an entire field "mms protocol" missing from the apn settings on 3 roms that I've tried. i'm concerned that I somehow jacked something up during one of my flashes but I can't understand how it would affect all my installs unless they are from the same source.

If you look enough there's a thread for US internet settings for most carriers a thread by Hasoon in general section you'll find the settings you want from there

lol what you guys aren't getting is I know all my settings. So slow down before you answer please. I know what my apn settings should be. I've done this before. The problem is that under apn settings in my phone, there is no longer a field for mms protocol. Without said field, I can't change the protocol to the correct setting and hence am not getting or sending mms.
Did you ever find a solution? I'm trying to enable MMS on my LG GTab and there are no MMS fields in the APN settings.

In your mobile networks find the APN names. If there is no explicit MMS section, there is a PROTOCOL section or something like it where you would add "mms" in the new APN you would create.
This page will give some basic insight, but might not need to be followed exactly--tailor to your needs.
http://www.amaysim.com.au/help-supp...et-up-mms-settings-for-my-Android-device.html
lol at the previous poster doing exactly the same thing ... again. You guys, the problem isn't what setting to use OR where to use the setting. The problem is there is literally no place to put in the setting that you need. The field "MMS Protocol" is not there.... you simply cannot enter the information that you need to. It's obvious that it's in the APN settings where you can change all the other related fields. Funny how two years apart, people are not reading and spewing the same stuff...
Anyway, apologies for resurrecting this, yet again. I got a new phone recently and I am having the same issue. I'm looking for this field but it's not available. This was actually the most relevant thread that I've found after a bunch of searching. So, if anyone found a solution (for this or any other phone/tablet), please tell!

Maybe the rom's don't have that setting? Same thing if you create a new APN?
Correct, it is not in the default APN nor available when creating a new APN. Unfortunately, I am stuck with a phone that has no custom roms at the moment. The question is whether this setting is actually missing (not displayed) AND unsupported (not implemented) or whether it is simply missing (not displayed) in the rom. There seems to be very little online that I can find about this other than threads which mention that the "MMS protocol" should be x, y, z for the APN of a particular network. Basically, all my searches turn up nothing as to "why" this is missing and whether (or not) there is anything that can be done about it.

Carrier probably crippled the feature in their factory rom--which means it is available, but not displayed--they don't want anyone messing with it.
So all you gotta do is find how to edit the file in which that information is stored, and I bet it's really easy.
Good luck.

While I don't disagree with you that there is probably a file somewhere that deals with this...I disagree that it is easy. That is, it would be easy...if the information on how to do it and/or where to find it were actually easy to find
I also disagree that this is simply due to a carrier-based rom. First reason is that this phone is an international, factory unlocked phone and the rom comes directly from the manufacturer. While it's possible that manufacturers themselves don't want you to change this setting, that would explain the second problem I have. I have a slightly older phone with a custom rom which also doesn't have this setting. It's possible that phone doesn't support that setting anyhow...but I don't feel like buying a bunch of other phones just to look into this one thing.
Anyway... none of this stuff about *me* is actually even relevant. I think our discussion still doesn't help people find what they are looking for. So, let's leave it at that and maybe someone will stop by here sooner than later and know the answer (and then also post the answer) about if this is "unlockable" or it's permanently missing for whatever reason.

Then the factory was very lucky in locking in just precisely the APN you need in your country for your carrier. That doesn't sound like an unlocked international device to me.
See if there is a way to add a new APN specifically for MMS. MMS settings can be excluded from APN because they are meant to be in a separate APN.

Sorry...not sure I follow the relationship here... And unlocked phone is not attached to a carrier. I bought it unlocked, unattached to a carrier, and I am using it on a carrier here, without the need to unlock it. How exactly does that mean that the factory locked something on it...
Just because there is no "MMS protocol" setting in the APN settings doesn't mean my phone is completely gimped.

I created a new APN with just mms in the "APN type", saved, went back in to edit and see no difference in the available settings. On the APN selection screen, this particular APN did not have a "checkbox" on the right side, so it was different due to the APN type.

I'm glad you gave it a try.
Every carrier's APN's are different--a factory unlocked phone has to allow for changes to the APN and one can only assume, to the MMSC. Did you put the other APN settings in yourself?
Have you asked the factory or tried support from the manu?
What kind of phone do you have--Amaze 4G? Which region?
It's been years and I'm having the same issue, has anyone found the solution?
Edit: By years I mean this thread, not me having the issue.
I have a S7 Edge.
In the APN Settings, there seems to be everything except the option for MMS Protocol. :/
This is the first time I've seen someone with my exact problem...it appears no one has the answer yet? OP, did you ever figure it out?

Hi. I am having the same issue with my Lenovo 503LV. There is no MMS setting present in the menus.
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.
Hi everyone, I've read quite a few discussions on here but this is my first post.
I've recently moved to Sweden from the US with my sprint lg g3. Before I moved, sprint told me that my plan covers me to use voice and data for free, but only with a specific carrier. They said that it's already taken care of and I shouldn't need to do anything when I get there.
That was one week ago. I've been in Sweden for a week and every day of that week I've spent around an hour on the phone with sprint trying to get my phone to connect to the data network. I get voice just fine, but, from what I understand, the phone is wanting to connect to a different carrier for data and he doesn't know how to force it to connect to the right one.
So, after some digging, it looks like I might be able to create a new apn and maybe connect to the right data network that way? Going down this path, I can't by default add any apns, so I followed another discussion and installed root tweaker to be able to fix that. My phone is indeed rooted on lollipop, but the tweaker doesn't seem to change anything for the apn screen, I still can't add nor edit them.
So, my two questions are, should I even be messing with apns (and if not, what should I be doing), and if I should mess with apns, how can I edit it/make a new one?
Thanks so much in advance, I'm getting frustrated with the sprint guys so I'm trying to take some initiative myself.

Try flashing (in recovery) my "MegaAPN" file. It should support a HUGE amount of carriers. You may also need to unlock your apn's so you can edit them. You can do that by searching for this: com.lge.hiddenmenu.settings.ApnUnlock in shortcut master (lite or pro) and clicking the name of the shortcut then just press the "Launch" button (looks like a little Space Ship). Then just press the little "Unlock APN" button and Reboot. You should now beable to add/edit and remove APN's.
Hope this helps:good:
Hi!
I've tried the shortcut master to unlock my apn, and a dialogue bowstring my apn is unlocked appeared, but after a reboot I still have no options to add or edit an apn.
Luckily I do know the carrier I need to be on, and I've found the apn information for that carrier, I just need to be able to add it in the phone I guess.
Thanks for your help!

If you PM me with the options.... I can try to add it to my MEGAAPN file
So a little background on why I'm posting this. I have owned a G4 G5 G6 and V20, all on Sprint, and none of these devices can ever access the Phone Info section or "Radio Info" section as it's referred to on the Hidden Settings shortcutter App. I believe Sprint or LG removes access to this area on all LG devices. On all of the ones I've owned I can try and access the section but only catch a brief glimpse of it when I try to access using a shortcut app. It is always immediately covered by the same message every time which is: Note This application does not work on this device.
Now I just activated a V30+ a couple weeks ago which I received through Sprint's normal telesales channel and on this device I can get to and modify most fields in the section. I haven't seen other people posting about this so maybe it's standard for everyone with the LS998 Sprint variant and no one really cares or just doesn't have anything to say about it. If thats the case, my apologies for wasting everyones time with an unnecessary post .
If my access to this area is a one off situation and could help lead any developers or more avid tinkerers to any discoveries I'd be happy to test out some things together with anyone with more experience than myself. I've been holding off on attempting to unlock the bootloader and haven't done any PRL updates or resets just in case this access is worthwhile as I've been worried something is going to update and take away my ability to get into the section.
I've included some screenshots. I've cropped them to try and remove some of the more personal data but I think all the relevant sections are covered.
*** Below are some questions and thoughts I've had. I hiding the section it to keep things less cluttered for those that are just reading up but dont have any experience or opinion on the settings/functionality etc***
If everyone can already get to this section, have you changed your bands or modified any of the settings and what results did you see?? I've been tempted to switch up some settings and run some tests but I'm being kinda chicken about changing anything because I can't find any info on people using this menu to do anything except screw up their coverage. A few example seems to be people on different earlier LG models that select USA but live outside the US and then cant get it back to their countries settings.
Here is a list of things I would like to examine more, or try out in these menus. Maybe some of you have already done such or have the same questions. Any feedback would be cool on any of these things or even warnings or endorsements. I would love to learn a bit more about this area and its possibilities.
Under the "Set Preffered Network Type" option I would like to change the current setting of LTE/CDMA/UMTS auto (PRL) to one of the other options and see what happens. I believe this area is relatively safe and can be switched back to the original setting easily. I'd like to switch to Global Auto Mode, Unknown Mode, GSM Auto mode and LTE Only Mode and run some speed tests and see what towers its connecting to in each.
There are four toggle switches, one of which is grayed out. This is the Video Calling Provisioned Switch. Curious if this would possibly become accessible in another mode, or if there was something i could change in a database editor that would allow me to switch this to "on".
The only setting I did change was the one DNS Check. It was originally set to disallowed and I switched it to allowed. I dont really know what changes or abilities this added or took away and have not seen any difference since doing so.
The SMSC when Refreshed will give me an 11 digit number in "" followed by a 3 digit number. It begins with +1 giving it the appearance of a phone number. I believe this has to do with SMS provisioning but am unsure and have not modified the info here.
One part I am very curious about is a grayed out button labeled OEM-specific info/Settings. I have searched like crazy just to try and find some info on whats behind that button and got nada.
In the additional menu section (the three dots) I have an option to Select Radio Band. When Pressed it takes me to a menu which sats "set GSM/UMTS band". This is the area I have found little about other than what I mentioned earlier about people getting locked out of their country settings. I have not touched this setting.
The IMS service Status of my device seems to not populate correctly as I'm listed as not registered or unavailable for all sections as seen in the picture attached. I could swear that a week ago I was showing "registered" but if so thats no longer the case.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Do you mean the ones within thd expanded part of the phone info section? If so, I've checked those out and they are blank. Screenshots attached.
So enough people have seen this post now that someone with a V30+ should be able to confirm whether or not others can get to these settings.
Anyone?
There is several other threads about this already. I found them while trying to find a way to get more ?? bands working on my India based phone. Nothing new i don't think and none of it actually helped, for me at least. There is a dialer code for it but i can't remember it.

I'd like to hear what you tried out and see what changed and what stuck and what didn't. . Maybe we can get your phone working better here in the states if we team up on the problem... I know my avatar shows I'm a junior member but that's because I don't really post often, but I do plenty of reading and tinkering myself and I have been in the Telecom business for about 15 years. I'm not an expert or making any guarantees but I certainly don't mind helping out a fellow member here if I can.
Do you have your MSL code? I have mine so if you have yours maybe we can take a look at how my phone is provisioned in the ##data# menu and get your bands setup the same way since mine should already be configured to the proper bands for the U.S. Between modifying that area and making some changes in the Radio info section that could do the trick for you. Let me know if you'd like to work on it and we could PM or you could reply with a run down of what you've tried and how you're setup now and we could go from there.
Cheers.
*#546368#*930#
Field test. LTE band selection. Selecting any band from the menu just makes it completely lose cell signal. After selecting a band it just either says success or fail.

Ok so that dialer code doesn't trigger anythibg on my model. I also tried replacing 930 with 998 and tried replacing the *# and #* with just ## and no luck. But no worries.
I'm thinking you may need to change your settings in two menus in order for the new settings to work together. If you go into your Data menu (##data# or maybe *#data#* on your model) and update the information there to match the ones I am attaching in my screenshots and then go into the Radio Info menu and select a similar setup to how my device is provisioned you may see some success.
Thoughts?
You would need your MSL code in order to change the settings in the ##data settings....
Where do i get msl code?
Neither of the data dialer codes are working for me.
Oh those settings are only for cdma phone?

There are a bunch of tips and tricks to find your MSL code posted throughout the boards, but I have only ever got mine from the carrier. If you call customer service you can usually talk them into giving it to you, though their policy on this is to not give it out unless your phone is fully paid for / out of contract. If you tell them you are working with a tech in a store and need it for provisioning they will normally give it to you.

I know this may not be in the right place but does anyone know how to bypass frp lock on this phone
I recently purchased a refurbished phone Samsung Galaxy S21 5G. I just got it yesterday, and found that I am not able to use my mobile network. The sale said it is factory unlocked, and according to the descriptions, it should work just fine with my US Mobile SuperLTE network as well. When I switched on the phone, I see Verizon on the screen and so, I assume that it was locked to Verizon in the past.
When I tried to change the network settings, specifically the APN settings, I get the message "Access Point Name settings are not available for this user." The three dots on the top with reset to default is also greyed out along with Network mode in the previous page. When I click Network Operators and try to connect to the network manually, I am only able to connect to Verizon Wireless and no other. But, calling and messaging seems to work fine. Is it that the unlock process has not been completed properly? Did any of you face the same problem before? It would be great if there is something that I could do to unblock the APN settings as the rest of the phone works really well. The specific model is SM-G991U.
Thanks!

So, you need to go into the settings menu and find about phone, software info. What you want to find is the CSC information.
It will basically look something like this: XAA / XAA-XAA / XAA (or some other letters like VZW or ATT or TMB etc etc.
What taht will tell you is very helpful in determining what rom the phone is running and what kind of device it was originally. Find that in your device and post it and people will help you to figure out what it means.

What taht will tell you is very helpful in determining what rom the phone is running and what kind of device it was originally. Find that in your device and post it and people will help you to figure out what it means.

Thank you so much for your reply. I looked through the software section in the about section. I found the following codes about the rom.

So the csc info is complicated, I'm no expert on it. But it does look like the OYN indicates it's a multi csc rom. It does have XAA as a part of the code, and that indicates it's 'open' for that specific part. But all the others are VZW. So it's running a vzw rom, obviously.
Your sim US Mobile uses both verizon and t-mobile networks. So it working for calls and texts makes sense, as a vzw phone. You could use patched Odin and flash a different (open) rom, but first you should verify that the device really is unlocked from vzw.
Best way to do that would probably be to insert another carriers sim card and see if it can make calls / texts. If not, it's not unlocked. But are you saying everything works now except mobile data? IOW, no internet access?
I had an international sim card at hand and I put it in. Interestingly the APN settings are no longer blocked. But, I do get a notification from setup wizard saying the inserted sim is not from Verizon and some services may not be available. But, messaging still seemed to work and I was also receiving 4G.

Oh then yer okay. That message from verizon can be gotten rid of a couple of ways; 1) use adb commands to disable the specific packages 2) use patched Odin and flash a different rom
VZW is the only rom I think that does that, and it's very annoying. I don't remember exactly which packages have to be disabled, but search google and use xda and vzw in keywords and u should find it.
The 2nd option would be my choice. It would do away with vzw crap and with an open rom you may find volte and vowifi will work also.
cheers
Thank you so much for your reply. That sounds great! To just give it a try, I tried putting in a TMobile sim and phone restarted to install software for TMobile. After that the APN settings were unlocked and now I am also able to connect to the internet using my US Moblile sim. The only problem is the the network mode is greyed out.
This rom I think only recognizes network from major telecom providers. So, just flashing with an unlocked rom would just help to unlock all the features and also remove telecom specific crap. I will try to flash it today.
Thank you again!
I also just flashed the stock firmware which is fully unlocked. And there is no bloatware from telecom OEM's. I am now able to use the network and set the APN's, but the Network Mode is still greyed out. Is it possible to know why? I am guessing that if the phone is fully unlocked, I should be able to change the Network Mode. Is there any other info that I can give you to help understand what is happening? I do not see vowifi as well.
