Last week I was using NOS M7 v3.0.6 and everything was working great but me being a flasaholic, I wanted to try out a 4.3 Rom so I flashed SlimBean DLX 4.3 and it would not connect to 4G. I used it for about 2 days and tried changing the preferred network and rebooting but still didn't work. I then did a full wipe and flashed ParanoidAndroid v3.99 and still no 4G. I then tried crDroid AOSP after a full wipe and still same results. I then decided to go back to NOS to see if it would correct it but it didn't so I even went to Tranquil's 4.1.2 Rom which is what I am on now but still have no 4G. Anyone have any suggestions for me?
I am considering taking it back to 100% stock and see if it works.
Also...my wife's rooted Galaxy SIII connects to 4G in the same area with no problems.
RUU

Its a known issue on some 4.3 roms, you must do a RUU but do not forget after Ruu a Phone Reset is obligated , so all your
factory original settings will be back.

I had this issue before, check out my thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338810
No issues since.
I'm running the NOS GPE 1.0.3 rom, and ever since, I too have only been able to connect to 3G...until like 20 minutes before this post. This worked for me.
Go to phone, dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to Phone settings, scroll down and set the preferred type to LTE/CDMA. Go to settings, "More" under network settings, go to mobile networks, turn off data and change the CDMA subscription to NV, then restart your phone. After I did that, after unlocking my phone, it tried to activate but it was stuck roaming, from there I pulled down the notifications and went to settings from there and went back to Mobile Networks and changed the network type to CDMA/LTE/EvDo and restarted my phone again, now LTE works perfectly Only thing is, it seems to always be on 3 bars of LTE, no matter what, but I'm not complaining, its much faster than 3G.
Ok, thanks for all the help. After flashing the RUU and upgrading to 2.06 it still wouldn't connect to 4g. I then went to a Verizon store and swapped out the sim card and it still didn't work but after about an hour it all of the sudden it connected to 4g. So, I guess it was the sim card and it just took a while to connect. Thanks again.
This is not a thread about me asking for help, more so opening the door to help others and provide general guidance with GPS issues on Lollipop.
This past weekend, I flashed back to ZV4 from ZV6. I rooted through Stump Root, installed TWRP, took a backup, and flashed two different Lollipop ROMs. I tried CM first, but am now working with Illusion as the SMS button was broke. GPS would not work no matter the fix on any Google Play Apps, be it a gps.conf changer or an AGPS manager. So there is the back story of what exactly I did, and now I will outline what I did to get GPS working.
I took current backup of Illusion and restored from backup to my stock ZV4 ROM. Lo and behold, getting into the ROM -- I found that GPS was disabled. There was also a secondary "enhanced" GPS option in the ROM I enabled from the same screen in the Location settings menu. (if anyone is still on a stock ROM, can you check for the name of that option?). I also enabled that option. I used "GPS Test" from the Google Play Store and was able to get plenty of satellite fixes -- "3D Fix."
I then rebooted to recovery, restored to the Lollipop ROM -- and GPS worked just fine. This is fairly odd, and we used this method to get GPS to work back in the OG Samsung Epic 4G days. I am wondering if its something that the Stock Rom and firmware can do -- aka turn on GPS, that Lollipop can't actually initiate and toggle. I'm sure Lollipop can "turn it off", but I am not terribly sure of this at the moment.
Anyways, I hope this helps someone out.
OMG thank you! I almost gave up on L for now because no rom I tried would give me a GPS fix. The locating icon only even appeared in the status bar for a few seconds and went away. I restored my stock nand, enabled high accuracy (I usually leave it in battery save unless I'm actually using it), flashed back to L, and bam, instant lock.

I can't, for the life of me, get this to work. I've tried instructions to the t, still no GPS on Illusion.

This has been a long standing fix, but again confirmed working for me. Brand new VS985 (Verizon LGG3 Warranty Replacement). Had booted the phone to register the new sim card and immediately rooted, Bumped, wipe and flashed Illusion 5.0. Tried maps the next day, GPS apps, etc, NOTHING would work..
Backed up that install in TWRP, loaded up Jasmine 4.0, booted in, turned on GPS, downloaded a GPS app, got a lock, immediately loaded TWRP, wiped 3x, restored my Illusion backup, booted it up, loaded my GPS app, and within 5 seconds it found GPS and locked in.
I can't claim to know why the stock rom would make any diff on turning on GPS, locking in, etc when a rom that does similar stuff and what googles phones are primarily based off of don't work.
This worked though and I'm happy!
Hey I have the same issue and tried this workaround twice, but still can't get GPS on lollipop...

I also still have the issue, and can no longer get a GPS lock on 4.4.2 ROMs after having flashed lollipop
I spent hours looking for a solution on this that would not imply flashing another ROM.
What fixed it for me was updating the gps.conf file with a proper NTP server more suitable for your zone.
The easiest way to do this is using FasterGPS app. You need root, of course. But works very well.
Didn't work for me.

I tried this method but it did not work for me. I'm hoping to figure this out without re-installing stock firmware.
Yes gps is not working on lollipop roms. I flashed 2 different lollipop roms, and neither gps is working. I restore my previous kitkat version copied the gps.conf file to my sd card, reflashed the lollipop rom and then I replaced the gps.conf file with the one from kitkat. It works. I updated the rom and the gps won't work again. I replaced it again with the gps.conf from kitkat, gps works fine again.

Thanks and waiting some support from u people.

Flash your stock firmware using .tot not kdz file,but you need another lg flash tool that uses .tot and dll files,just search on google,or use files from this site lgg3root i just did that after trying several stock/custom firmware/gpsconfig files

Hello,
I am currently running a VZN SCH-I545 MDK on a AT&T network that has worked perfectly for all pre-LP versions and ROMs. Although when I try to update to a LP ROM, my mobile data doesn't work. I get an exclamation mark next to the signal bars even though data is on. I do get phone signal and wifi works. Am I missing something when updating to a LP ROM? Is this an issue when porting from VZN to AT&T when LP hasn't been released?
1. I tried several LP ROMs, but the only one that has worked so far is Dirty Unicorns 9.2.
2. I always do clean flashes
Any help would be appreciated greatly!

So I found the fix... for me using a Verizon phone on an AT&T network, then the mobile data settings are incorrect when installing LP ROMs. Somehow I got it to work when I messed with the following -
1. Preferred network type to LTE (preferred)
2. APN set to wap.cingular or pta (?)
3. Dialed *#*#4363#*#*
I have a cyanogenmod 12.1 release on my VS985 LG G3 and it's starting to have some issues with the SIM card potentially. When I first installed cyanogenmod, I had issues seeing the Verizon network, so I flashed the appropriate modem files (can't remember them off the top of my head). It worked for a while, but then at some point a few months back, the phone had issues seeing the LTE network. I found somewhere that if you put it into airplane mode, then restart the phone, then take airplane mode off, you'll see the network, and it worked.
Lately though, the phone is occasionally giving me random problems saying that it can't even see the SIM card. Can SIM cards fail? Are the modem files buggy and just need to be reflashed?
I can't seem to figure this out, and I can't even find all the modem files for the cyanogenmod 12.1 I used...it's starting to become a nightmare! Help!
Yes, SIM cards can fail.
No, the modem files aren't buggy and shouldn't normally require re-flashing. That said, it doesn't hurt anything at all to flash a modem any amount of times. I would suggest you flash the entire Bootstack instead of just the modem. The Bootstack includes the modem. For CM 12.1, the 24B Bootstack from @xdabbeb 's VS985 v2.0 ROM thread is what you need. For reference, the 12B Bootstack is for KitKat, 24B is for Lollipop 5.0.x and 35B is for Lollipop 5.1.x and Marshmallow 6.0. I doubt if reflashing the modem/bootstack will achieve any result you're looking for. If your phone still lists a baseband in the Settings/About menu, then the modem's working.
The modem partition itself is only one file, modem.img.
Last but not least, it's very common for anyone who uses non-stock LG VS985 ROMs that they eventually have problems, usually with Mobile Data but maybe trouble recognizing the SIM card too. Unless you flash back to stock (I suggest the 10B TOT, which will wipe all data including internal storage) and it's possible that you'll find there's nothing wrong with your SIM card at all - if you remain on stock.
I've considered going back to the stock, I felt that the Cyanogenmod for the VS985 was actually a downgrade. The camera for the LG G3 was pretty badass and I never ever had issues with data. CM does allow some cool stuff, so maybe just a rooted version of the stock ROM is what I should go back to...hmmmmmm....

For what it's worth, the paid version of G3TweaksBox for Marshmallow Xposed module helps alleviate some of the pain of not running CM ROMs. Good luck!

Exchange your SIM card at a Verizon store. Also, has the phone ever been previously rooted? If so, see the last paragraph of the second post in this thread.

Exchanging is what a have already done, no luck but I will try 10B TOT, I'm wondering how to Flash this(TOT) file. I tried with TWRP and some unusual error message came up

If you Googled "How to flash TOT" you'd get the general idea. You can't flash TOTs or KDZs from the phone, you need to use a Windows PC.

My wife's SIM slot suddenly stopped working a month ago. LG wanted $75 to fix it, so we didn't have it fixed and we'll be in the market for new phones soon - she's just using her old flip phone for now. Apparently it's a common issue with the VS985.
I installed Fulmics 5.2 rom on my Verizon lg g3, and now I am stuck in 3g, even though there is great 4g in my area? Anyone found a reliable fix, or should I give up on Fulmics (which is great otherwise)?

+1000 to this request
I wasn't able to install it so you got further then I did. But I had that same issue on a number of non-stock ROMs and never found a "fix" other then trying diff nightlies until one worked. Another is very flaky WiFi which I'm seeing on XenonHD
Just simply give up. Nobody really has ever gotten an international GSM rom with working LTE on the VS985. A couple of months ago we got 3G working on fulmics 5.0. However to my dismay, when I flashed another ROM, I only had 3G data no matter what I used. It turned out that it wiped my EFS partiton, the one that controls call and data information. I had to wipe my phone with the stock KDZ file, and then re root and unlock.That really, really sucked. Moral of the story: give up on the international roms that say they're 'compatible' with the VS985. They're not.

Thanks!
Fulmics was a wonderful ROM except for Verizon 4g, so now I'll restore to something else. Wish I knew this first, wasted a bunch of time.
No problem man!
I've got it working, I think, my data icon shows a 4G. I've found a post in fulmics thread that says to get it working you should wipe, flash then bootstack, flash fulmics and once again flash the bootstack.
Some times in former versions i've got it working just wiping, flashing fulmics, booting without data and flashing the bootstack after all, so I guess that flash the bootstack after fulmics gets the point.
Give it a try and post back!!!

I've tried that before, however all I ended up getting is a 4G roaming data icon. Is it showing as roaming for you?
I would go back to fulmics, but I'll admit I was only using it to have a little look at UX 5.0. Then it wiped my EFS partition, so I'm not gonna go back. If it works for you then great! Happy on xenonHD right now though.
