Easy way to fix APN? I NEED HALP. - Verizon LG G3

So for the past literally 3 mmonths, I have been unable to send a picture message, or do anything "data" wise (chrome, playstore, play music, games that require a connection) while "on 4G LTE.
The interesting thing is this...when I flash Jasmin or Skydragon, it works for about 30 minutes, then it NEVER works again once I disable data then turn on wifi, then reverse it. All I get on Chrome is "ERR Name not resolved".
Ive seen that this is a APN problem but I am unable to add one, and there is only one apn in the settings...does anybody have any idea how to fix this? I have unlimited data grandfathered in and I have been completely unable to use my phone outside of my house.
Any help is appreciated!
I understand I dont have signal in the screenshot...I had full bars at Kroger last night and was showing in amazement how I couldnt do anything but take pictures...lmao

Able to change APN in Cyanogenmod...
So I backed up my Skydragon rom, wiped everything off the phone, then flash Cyanogenmod 12 with Gapps and I have been able to get on the web and send MMS pictures ALL day even with toggling wifi/LTE and reboots...I also noticed that there is like 10 different APN's to choose from on Cyanogenmod AND I can MAKE a NEW one.
What gives?...
Ok...I lied. Getting error not resolved again...

I will guess it's a bad sim card. Call them and they may overnight one if they see you've used no data for three months, or stop into one of the dreaded Verizon stores and pick one up.

I completely wiped my phone before Installation of Cyanogenmod and had data for like an hour, and i completely wiped my phone again and reinstalled Jasmine, and i've had data for 2 hours now. I'm trying to test slowly where data quits connecting. It will SHOW 4G, full bars, but can't use it...it just says not connected to data and bla blah blah

Go check to ensure you have an IMEI number. If that is blank or all zeros, that could be the issue.
If so, getting a new sim card might fix it (just go into the VZW store and it should be free) but I would flash back to stock first or they will refuse to help you. Or you can restore it yourself manually. Or, if you're IMEI number is still there, then you'll still need to flash back to stock before going into VZW to get a new SIM card.
I've had it where I flashed back to stock using a TOT file and it wiped my IMEI number for some reason (the next time I did, it didn't wipe it so go figure).
Go to the following link (if you're IMEI number is wiped) to fix it. Hopefully, you still have your box the phone came in. Otherwise, you can remove the battery and find the number on a sticker in the battery compartment:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58915450&postcount=3
In that post, I explain how to restore your IMEI number.

I found the fix.
Okay so they recommend after booting a rom to let it sit for 10 minutes. I found in my case that this does NOT work. After multiple testing scenarios and a few weeks I discovered I need to let my phone sit for 30 minutes. Thats phone wiped, Jasmine installed with mods and all the shebang, and after you hit reboot phone set a timer somewhere to NOT touch your phone for 30 minutes and Data has never failed me. Now it is ENTIRELY diffrrent from letting it set to 10 minutes. My family has 6 G3's and 3 of us would flash with a ten Minute sit, and 3 with a 30 minute sit and we had almost PERFECT results with this.
Im not expert but I think its not giving the phone enough time to call for apns for the phone anf since you cant ADD any, you S.O.L. until you fix it.
We usually have 2 bars of 4G where we live so I almost wonder if its because of that. But you think two bars would be enough in 10 minutes to grab the proper apns.
Once again, 6 phones. 3 different houses. All samr results.
Wasnt a bad sim card...wasnt a imei wipe. It was NOT enough time letting the rom sit.

Reverting back to Stock Verizon will break Data

I wanted everyone to know about this. I was having a problem with receiving flix messages (was getting 10pics instead of an actual video), so after no progress, a different ROM i decided to go back to the stock Verizon ROM. After I did that, my data is basically broken. Every time I put in my password and try to get on the internet it says my password is wrong. I checked and the password is blank, so i put it in again and the same thing happens. Tried flashing a pre-GPS ROM and didn't help. I had Verizon "reset" my Data and that did not help. It seems as though reverting back to the stock radio somehow has blocked me getting data now. So be warned, if you go back to the stock vzw rom, you will loose data and have to get a new phone (sending me one out Monday).
Anyone else have this experience?
You try putting in your 10 digit number and VZW as the password?
yea everything was set perfect everytime. even for the fun of it let the vzw tech at the store try, nada.
Did Verizon tech support try to remove your data package from your account and then put it back on, then push a reset to the local towers in your area... I went back to the stock verizon ROM about a month ago and those are the things they had to do to get it to work, but it did work.....
I called verizon and she removed the data and then pushed a reset to the towers and it still doesnt work (not sure if she did the reset b/c she didnt know what i meant at first). So ill wait for the refurb and see if my new phone will connect. thanks for the help...
It is actually your 10 digit mobile [email protected] with password vzw.
I had to create a new data connection with the correct username and password which fixed my issue. Then I reflashed eveyrthing properly.
well it took one day for me to want to flash back to the gps rom. one question, has anyone had any problems with MMS Video meg on verizon? i was getting a bunch of 10 pics instead of a video.

[Q] Data Hanging?

So just as the title says, a few days ago my data just stopped working. it will show H+, but it won't have the bars underneath or anything. I literally try everything, and sometimes it works and then just disappears again.
I got so frustrated today with it that I flashed down to 1.5.7 then OTA'd to 1.8.3 and guess what..it's still doing it!
Another frustrating thing about it is that I can't receive pictures or anything. I'm very close to going back to my iphone 4. Has this been happening to anyone else?
i have this problem too and like you i tried everything with fail.
maybe it's your apn settings?
i've reset them twice, and it still doesn't do anything. i'm ready to just exchange it out
this happened when i ****ed up my APN settings.
go to you APN list and then make sure that AT&T US is selected. Wait till it connects to the AT&T cell tower and then restart your phone.
Thats what worked for me.
This is happening to me too, I don't know what else to do I've done almost everything I can, I even restored to factory settings only to find out it would wipe all of my APN settings (I thought it would set them to default, but it just erased everything)
I've now set the APN settings but it still doesn't connect to my data plan. I'm really running out of options, I'm really frustrated.
i have att us hsdpa selected. i'll try just doing att us

I've had this issue...baseband .15P
I'm on the fido network in Canada, it doesn't matter which APN I use
.15. i'm going back to att soon to just exchange it out and hope that fixes it
edit - yep gave me a new phone/sim, still can't access the market from data or receive/send pictures. I'm stumped
well I ended up switching back to my iphone 4, still have my atrix just isn't active.
turns out that I was missing a feature that would have given me full data access vs limited.

Lose data connection when using Talk

I'm having a problem that has me stumped.
YouTube
Earlier in the week, I noticed that I was unable to stream YouTube videos over mobile data. I could launch YouTube and it would bring up the top videos. I could search and it would get me results. I could not however get anything to actually play, when I choose a video it will just sit at the loading screen, and my bars will turn grey. I will not get a mobile data connection back until I back out of Youtube. I confirmed this issue with several different videos while in different parts of the state, so it isn't limited to a certain video or tower.
Google Talk
If I am at the main screen that shows who is online/offline, usually this will display properly. However as soon as I pick a name and go to send a message, my bars will turn grey and I will lose my data connection. It will not come back until I back out of Talk. Sometimes after this happens I can reopen talk and it will sit at the main screen for a while, get mobile data back, and display who is online and who is not. Most of the time, Talk will not work again until I force close it.
Edit: Talk will not disconnect until I actually send a message. The message makes it through most of the time, but then I lose mobile data. This results in Talk saying "Lost connection to Server. Messages will be sent when online."
I am on CM7 Nightly 20 with the stock CM7 kernel since the day Nightly 20 was released. Just to be safe, I did a full wipe in Fastboot erasing the following partitions before re-flashing: userdata, cache, webtop, system, boot.
I am unsure when this problem started. I know that YouTube worked last weeks, but when I think back, I can't remember the last time Google Talk worked while I was on mobile data. Note though, that while on Wifi everything works just fine.
I'm at wit's end here. I'm going to wipe the phone again and install stable Ba2tF and just Google Apps, and see what happens (after I flashed Nightly 20 earlier today I had the Market start spam reinstalling my apps before testing Google Talk - though I did get to test it and have it lose data after just a few apps were installed).
I'm on 30P for the radio, AT&T, Western Massachusetts, any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
I was going to post the same exact problem. The problem only appears over cellular. Over WiFi, everything works fine. Also, I just reflashed stock and it works. So it would seem to be a problem with CM7 and/or AT&T.
I'm going to get a good logcat of what's going on after I narrow it down a bit more... my current log is 1MB, which as about 2 minutes of info. I'm going to try to narrow it down to just the few seconds from when I hit "send" to when I get disconnected.
Hopefully at that point someone smarter than I can figure out what's going on.

Just thought I'd chime in and give some feedback. Tested this out on Weekly #2 both with wi-fi and regular data and everything was working as it should. I've been through a few different versions of CM7 and have not run into this.
Have you been using the same gtalk .zip each time? Maybe try re-downloading it along with your fresh install? Also, have you re-flashed your radio?
And here is a logcat capture. I force closed Talk, started the capture, launched talk, connected, pressed on my roommate's name, and lost my connection. The part that says "<SNIP>" is where my email address was.
I'm going to upload it here, then start to go over it myself.

Yeah, the GAPPS package ROM Manager lists as newest is still 20110828, which is also listed as newest on the Cyanogen Wiki. I never re-downloaded it, I've always used the same .zip everytime I've needed it... which is since Pre-Beta1.
I didn't flash my radio up to 36P when it came out since some people reported issues with it, and 30P had been working fine for me since June/July.
I am going to try to re-flash Google Apps now, this time without using the new version of talk that supports the front facing camera... since I never used the functionality anyway. I will report back in a few minutes.
DK
I tried reflashing both AT&T radios and both versions of Talk (w/ and w/o video chat).
For me, I get disconnected as soon as I open Talk. Happens every time. I froze Talk and I was disconnected when I got a Gmail notification. Maybe it was a coincidence but either way I was disconnected so the problem isn't limited to Talk. Maybe it's a problem with the Google Services Framework.
Here is what I think is a better logcat of what happens. This time, I setup CM7 to have long press back kill the currently active process, so that I could kill Talk right away.
I started the logcat from killing Talk and hitting the home button while it was restarted. I sent one message that said "Son" to my roommate, and lost my data connection. I then waited 20-30 seconds, killed Talk, it restarted, I got data back, I sent another message to my roommate that said "disconnect", and I lost my data again.
NOTE: This is with the Talk from the newest GAPPS (fresh download with ROM Manager), but not the one with the camera support (camera crap was cluttering the logcat anyway).
Anyone who is smarter than I able to see what's going on here?

Same problem with CM7 Beta so I'm guessing there's some problem between CM7 and AT&T. I'm on AT&T in NYC.
I have a list of ROMs this does NOT happen on. I went back and restored to several points trying to figure out exactly where the problem started, and while I didn't find that, I do have a list that it does and does not happen to.
Talk Works on:
Prebeta2
Prebeta3
Prebeta4
Stopgap
Ba2tF
Weekly1
Nightly8 (likely it works on Nightlies 1-8, I just never made a backup after that and went right to 20 so I dont know exactly where the issue started with nightlies)
Talk does NOT work in:
Weekly3
Nightly20
So at some point between Nightly9 and Nightly20 (which includes the commits for Weekly3), something happened with Talk that is causing it to drop your data connection when you send message or refresh the friend list.
If any Dev happen to stumble upon this thread, I did take a logcat dump and linked it above as a txt file called "betterlog.txt" which clearly shows two disconnects while using Talk without having a lot of other "noise" in the logs from other things happening on the phone.
DK
Same problem, only I have this in Ba2tF. Odd thing is, I was running Ba2tf for some time, then all of a sudden this issue just appeared. I couldn't get it to clear, even after wiping data, caches, re-flashing etc...
Looks like this is nothing new. Check out CyanogenMod issue 3557.

Same problem in Ba2tF. I was running Ba2tF for several weeks, then this problem just popped up. Couldn't get it to clear.
Looks like an old CyanogenMod issue. Issue #3557.
I don't know if it's AT&T that changed or CM7 but the problem's gone since I started using weekly #4.

Problemw ith Data after Flashing Roms

Interesting problem that I suddenly have after installing rom. First I have been installing just about every rom has come for the last 6 months. Today I installed latest Carbon ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2310695 today and it installed ok, but upon booting for the first time, it got stuck the setup right at the beginning where I press the language (English). It just sat there and didn't do anything. I tried reinstalled the rom, and it did the same thing.
So I assumed a had a bad download, so I went to restore my daily driver backup rom (Zone sense 4 rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2116509). But now I have no mobile data or mobile connection at all. I get a triangle next to the bars and whenever I restart phone I get this message "Global data roman access is allowed. Significantly higher charges may apply". I have never seen that before.
I have tried removing sim, toggling all mobile network options (CDMA, global, roaming, etc.) and I still get no connection at all. Any ideas here? I am on Verizon.

Thanks. I did that and it worked. Any thoughts on how to avoid that in future aosp roms? Did I do something wrong or is it totally random?

Its apparently random. I've had it happen twice, once back non CM10 when it just got RIL going, and a build ago on Carbon.
I'm going through this right now. I rru'd and can connect to 3g and use the data but no texts and when I try to make a call I end up with a Verizon message saying my number is inactive. Everything works fine on my backup phone. So its not a problem with Verizon
Edit... I'm going to ruu again and factory reset before booting because I think I remember seeing that posted at some point

EDIT 2.... re rru'd still having problems it will not make calls and will get 3g data when set to roaming which it seems to be on with the triangle above the signal.
anyone know the Verizon apn's i only have verizon internet in my apn list.
Edit 3 All fixed. i was factory resetting in stock recovery to no avail but a factory reset in sense itself worked

Did Darklord N5 now I only have data for a few min then it say's no data connection?

I did the build number Darklord N5 (looking at settings), Kernal 3.4.0 Kernal now I only have data for a few min then it say's no data connection? It's a Sprint Note 3 and still using Sprint. But the model number no longer says SM-900P and now says SM-9020C. The file I used was DarkLordN5.RC2.1.SamsungViet.vn Sorry I'm a little new to this but I do tend to follow directions well.
It's like Sprint lets me have data and then see's something it doesn't like about the mod and shuts off my data. It always works at first then goes away within 5 min and says no data connection and roaming is turned off. And if I get data again will I still have LTE? So far I just saw 3G when it was working.
Other than that I love the update but I can't do without mobile data! Please help. I've looked everywhere I could think of on here and it's been almost two weeks without data.
Thanks!
Jim
Bump??? Please help???
Bump??? Please help???
That rom is kinda old and has bugs. If you want to use the latest note 5 port, I recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-base-n9200zcu2apa1-stablefast-31-01-t3308842
It's based off the last version of darklord's rom and tweaked/fixed it's issues like youtube lag...
It's tricky to get data from it. I use Ringplus so it might work without tinkering with sprint natively.
Just install rom normally, with SPR csc, and see if you get data like that.
If it doesn't here's what I did:
I had to install it with the XAS csc (the SPR csc won't let me change apn's but you're free to try). I then switch radio to cdma or anything else until the apn settings show up AND can be edited in Mobile Networks settings(LTE radio won't me edit). Then I delete all apn's because it won't use the custom ringplus apn i put in by default(yes, I choose it and it still won't use it). Once i'm all done, i set radio back to "cdma/gsm/lte" to get back lte/cdma data (for some reason the "cdma/lte" setting won't work for me). I used app's to get me to the radio and apn settings. There's a few out just take your pick.
Might take some trial and error to get the apn's to show up but in the end i have zero issues with data. good luck.
Thank you very much for your detailed reply. I was wondering if it was old. But being pretty new to this I'm going to have to do some research to try to digest all you said! Although yesterday I did successfully replace the screen/chassis of my old Note 3 which required switching over many components. Now just waiting on a new power on switch. So I'll be back.....
