I was in the same boat as you. After a little trial and error, these apn settings worked for me.
FYI... It still won't pass the Hands Free Activation, but you'll have data working!

I'm in the same boat. I was able to get 4G working but not 3G so everytime i lose 4G i lose data no 3G..
Could never get Hands Free Activation to Work.
From what i've gathered is that you need to get the phone back to its original state last previous activation sprint with Original sim in the phone.
They say it's not good to reset phone ##786# or ##72786# as it changes the files to a non activated phone ?
( So i rooted the phone installed a custom recovery did a full backup. wiped and formated pretty much everything rebooted in download mode )
( I have the original sim that use to be activated on this phone. I fired up odin and flashed the original tar that matches my rom OC5. )
( After booting up and going through the setup handsfree still don't work and now lost 4G and Talk and text. )
Is your phone booting up with sprint 4g logo. Or do you see just the samsung logo then your phone is most likely not provisioned to any carrier
I tried everything i even flashed it manually in DFS. Called boost took longer to figure out how to connect to them through there 2 hour menu. That ending up being a waist of time.
What i think might work is a good working carrier folder that was activated but has not been reset .
Could anyone provide a carrier folder located in the root of the phone. This might fix the problem not sure
Any Help would be great ... Thanks
That is exactly what my problem has been and I've tried everything I got calls and texts working but no data. I know carrier is messed up because it shows either Samsung or chameleon instead of boost or sprint. I have odined back to complete stock and still no data... any help please fellas

I was able to get my 3G Data back and 4G . I copied over the GS4 Carrier files and added this apn.
The note 3 carrier files did not work for me ... but the GS4 files did.
As for hands free activate i just froze it in titanium.
I didnt even bother trying the HFA everything is working fine ( Leave it alone if it's not broke )

I'm assuming the reason why he did that on an s3 sprint or boost phone is because they are cdma only phones and he was able update your profile 2 setting . I thought changing the esn on a note 3 will break cert file. I could be wrong.
I'm thinking what he did was used your note 3 esn on the s3 and OTA your info to that phone then he was able grab your profiles and then store them in the note 3 using cdma/DFS ..
I was only able to get my 3g and 4g working going through apns attached to the sim card. my data profile on the phone is wrong it still shows the last person's profile. so when ever i pull the sim card my data will not work.
It should still work in 3g without sim ..
I have an s3 boost phone I'm going to try this tonight.
Do you have a sim card in your phone?.
Yea sim card is in..and you know sometimes my 3g doesn't work..but lte works great but i m not always getting lte. But my network says boost mobile
Can I use the APN settings posted in here ? It would boot up with the boost mobile logo but I'm messing with it and lost it now boots up with sprint logo.. thanks for the info

Yea u can use the apns here .. I setup 2 apns under ##data# one using the Bearer eHARPD and the other LTE .
as for boost mobile boot logo . There's 2 things you can do. Install GT App apk ( Not sure if this is still around? Search ) in the app make sure mps_code , sales_code are set to BST or change it from SPR to BST.
or you can go in the root of the phone system/media and rename the BST_ files should be 3 files to SPR_ .

Okay first off I can CONFIRM THE REZOUND IS A GLOBAL PHONE (lets just get that out of the way).
EVIDENCE
Okay so I purchased my HTC Rezound form an American eBayer and he shipped it to me just after Christmas (i live in the UK), i was already under the impression that the Rezound was a global phone but just before it arrived everyone was saying that it doesn't have the GSM or WCDMA networks which made me sad
But when it arrived i thought i would try what i thought would work, sooooo i place the sim card in the phone and powered it up. After setting it up i went to the phones dialer and dialed: *#*#4636#*#* and then went to phone information and changed the network type. I was shocked to find that there was many options including 'GSM only' and 'WCDMA only' . So i switched the phone to WCDMA only and the phone picked up signal and showed T-Mobile in the notification bar .
(I got my data by adding the T-Mobile APN and then going to wi-fi settings>>advanced and changed the time till wifi switches to mobile network to 15 mins (then waited 15 mins))

Problems (That i think can be fixed)
Okay so the only two problems are:
1. I can receive and make calls, can use data (internet) but i can only receive texts and not make them?
(When i try to send a text, as soon as i press send the network signal shuts off and i have to press no when a message appears that says something like "would you like to try and send text when phone has signal?")
Anyone know how to fix? Is this T-Mobile UK SMSC Number?: +447958879879
I HAVE TRIED:
1. Changing SMSC number under: *#*#4636#*#* (there is no option in the HTC Mms.apk (Messaging app))
2. Changing to/installed HTC Sensation XE's [SENSE 3.5] Mms.apk and still same problem (also made sure the SMSC number is correct)
Screenshot to show texts not sending and network stops: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0U8I71u15EGYTFhMGEwZmMtMzYwZi00MTdkLWI2MGQtYmIxMDljNGUyZDgy
2. And the other is just to get rid of the lockscreen message that says "This SIM card is from an unknown source".
TEMP FIX (Until Reboot): If the ROM you are using has the tweaks menu (MikROM) then you can go to Miscellaneous Options>>>Choose Lockscreen Style and select 'Android Lockscreen', Then Restart or Hot Restart and change the option back to 'HTC Sense Lockscreen'. THIS WILL REMOVE THE 'This SIM card is from an unknown source' message, but this process must be done every time your battery dies or you turn off the phone.
(still better than the ugly message every time you turn on the phone screen).

So please could some DEVS work on this cause this is another great advantage to the Rezound that was let down by the Verizon tailored HTC Sense.
This
You just need the exact right apns for sending texts. I hope you deleted the Verizon ones?
I'd do an APN backup of an htc t mobile phone, then in the rezound delete apns, then restore apns
I use apn backup and restore
Mb you've already done exactly this but thought I'd suggest. Need to customize a few apns for your phone number, mb didn't customize all of them? Our if Verizon one still sits there?
Possibly need a copy of an mms.apk from a gsm phone because some settings built into the Verizon apk may make it fail to send
I did delete the verizon ones, and i only filled in the T-mobile APN like this and left all other settings blank:
APN: general.t-mobile.uk
Username: user
Password: pass
Dude, seriously.... DOES NOT BELONG IN DEVELOPMENT!
Back in my experience with AT&T, there was a phone number for the messing center that needed to be input. Otherwise, you couldn't send text but could receive them. Do you'll need 2 things ... the phone number to your carrier's messaging center and the place to input it in your phone.
I did a quick look and couldn't find the field. But that's what you're missing.

No, it does not belong in development. Development is for WORKING MODS/HACKS/ROMS/KERNERLS/ETC, not to talk about or request Developer help. Hence why it was moved.
I think it is funny that people think that the Devs are locked in the development forum and can't get out. That the only place to reach them is in there . Yes they can and do read other forums!

I was just in Japan. VZW rep told me my phone would work out there. Got there and could only receive SMS and Calls, couldn't make SMS or Calls. Two other people I was out there with had no problems with there VZW iPhone and LG android.
Global support told me that the 4g LTE sim can't authenticate on the CDMA network or there. I was able to get $40 off my bill for my troubles ....

That would be because you used the VZW sim which only works on certain frequency. They are talking about unlocking the sim and using one that authenticates for GSM/WCDMA/LTE.
The MMS.apk app you have is the CDMA version of it so no you will not have access to the SMS center number... You need to have the mms.apk from a GSM sense phone to have access to that settings, but even then you will probably run into problems.
Problems like.. Resolutions issues, FC's ... It not working at all
OR... Its a universal apk and a simple edit with in one of the XMLs would enable that options or something..... Food for thought

I did try and download an app call SMS Pro (or something like that) and it had the option to change the SMSC number but my text still cut the network out as soon as i press send
try pushing the mms.apk and such from a european sensation sense 3.5 rom. Then reboot into recovery and clear the cache and dalvik cache. Maybe that will work for you.
Ok here's my evil little plan. I am from India. And its only 149$ on Amazon. So can I buy it on Amazon and then just use it here? How much would it be, without contract?
There are.only GSM networks here..so will.i still face problems lie the OP?

I am trying to switch from Verizon to Pageplus so I need to get rid of my LTE phones. I picked up a couple of US Cellular Mesmerize phones for cheap and I was able to get them working on Page+ by:
Using Odin to flash the Verizon EH03 ROM
Finding the SPC of the device (I used method #2 on this page)
Dial ##3282# and enter CDMA Directory #, MIN #, SID #, and change the SPC to 000000 in the Advanced section.
Dial *22890 and the phone programs successfully
The problem is that I do not want a GB phone... I have tried a multitude of ROMs (CM7.2, CM10.1, SuperNexus 2.0, Hacksung Build2, etc.), but when I flash them I loose data and MMS functionality. If I try to dial *22890 I will also lose call and text functionality.
I can't figure out what is changing by applying a different ROM... ##3282# does not work on any of those ROMs so I can't tell if it is one or more of the options in that menu that I need to fix.
I am desperately hoping that one or more of you will be able to help me out so I am not stuck with a GB phone w/ Bing on it!!

Unfortunately ##3282# will not work on any CM based ROMs (it's part of Verizon's stuff)
Once you have set your min # & activated with pageplus you should be good,,,
*22890 tries to reprogram things.
Have you tried any of the 10.1 ROMs without doing *22890?
At most maybe a *22891 which updates only the prl.
If it's working fine on the Verizon EH03 ROM the maybe once you put an 10.1 ROM on there you might need to do an esn swap with pp service to an old phone (one of the other mesmerize on Verizon EH03 ROM would be fine ) then back to the fassy (er: mesmerize) that reconnects things from the pp side.
if you need help with that pm me i can do a swap for you.

I'm not really sure what language you are speaking there . I had to give Page+ the ESN of the phone that I am testing this on. Is an ESN swap something different than that?

This is a completely serious question - why? Unless Samsung is stupid and gave two different hardware configurations the same model number (SCH-i500), the two models are exactly the same from a hardware standpoint. I know Page+ doesn't have an issue with me using the phone, when I gave them the ESN they just said that they couldn't guarantee it would work. I am new to this though, so am I missing something or are you just letting me know that I have created more work for myself in not buying a Verizon branded phone?
Thanks!

But did data and MMS work properly on the GB EH03 [ Verizon goodness ] ROM?
Sorry,,, Yes. Doing an esn swap is like this ::
your current phone [ I'll call it A ]
and an alternate phone that can be activated on pp [pageplus] [ I'll call it B ]
or alternately,,, an old alltel flip/non-smart phone { I'll call it C }
currently you have "phone A" active for use the pp network,
starting with both phones turned off,,,
basically you contact pp tell them you would like to activate "phone B" [ yes, with the ESN ] now onto your plan,
once that is complete
then power "phone B" up with [ Verizon goodness ] ROM and make the test call,
once all it good, power off "phone B"
contact pp tell them you would like to activate "phone A"onto your plan,
once that is complete
then power "phone A" up with [ CM10.1 ] ROM and make the test call,
You may have to do the *22890 and let it reboot or manually reboot, but it should all work after that.
::: alternatively instead of going phone:: A -> B -> A ,,, you may go:: A -> C -> A
hopefully that didn't sound too retarded

exactly a Mesmerize with any Verizon style rom {CM7/9/10] should work as though it is a Fascinate on the pageplus network.
Some other phones would have to be "flashed" to do this but the sch-i500 should not need anything extra

Yes. However... I reflashed the Verizon EH03 ROM with Odin last night, and I could only get 1X. I swear I have been able to get 3G before...
I then went through the process of flashing a 10.1 ROM (I think I used SuperNexus) and tried *22891 as you suggested and it sounded like the phone programmed successfully. After a reboot the phone shows 1X sometimes, but it doesn't seem to be reliable enough to do a speed test or load a web page. I am going to try the ESN swap today if I get a few moments at work.
Thanks!!

Just use the voice dialer app... Speak "" Open APNs""
You'll also need to press menu and save after you have changed the port to 80
You may also have to set the regular port in there to 80 as well, i don't think it would hurt anything,,, mine is not set though on either and works fine... But it sure ain't gonna hurt to try.

Thanks for checking! The ESN swaps have not worked.

Thanks, but I still get nothing...
I also noticed that my wife's old Vortex had no APN entries, but it is able to connect to Page+ just fine (and much faster than the fassy w/ the Verizon ROM)
I don't get it at all...
Well I guess I give up on getting anything other than the Verizon ROM (EH03)... This will at least tell me that I have 3g...
Any ideas why the speed is so slow? I can barely get 100kbps. I have a friend in town w/ an actual Fascinate and he is getting around 530k.
i have metro pcs and i have no data right now, the htc one can make calls and its unlocked but i cant access the internet nor anything that requires a connection. i spoken to metro pcs twice already and they only told me to change 2 things from the apn settings, i am on custom rom right now, do i have to flash back to stock???? please help me out

Thank you. I found this out by going to Howard forums and someone posted their pan settings from a samsung s3 they bought directly from Metro pcs. They are the same settings you just posted here. T bad I found this out at 4 am in the morning lol.

Thank you, that did the trick for me. I just moved from Straight Talk to MetroPCS. The rom I am currently running on my phone had MetroPCS APN settings built in, but they were different. I assume they must be for the old cdma network. In any case they were working for me, but LTE was only pulling 2 mbps. I changed to your settings, and speeds are now back to where they were on Straight Talk.

Update on metroPCS APN settings.
Hello, all:
I just set up two phones on metroPCS, one of them a new Kindle Fire phone for my wife, and my Samsung S4 GT-i9500 [PhoenixROM]. I tried utilizing the settings supplied on the phone after the initial configuration; Internet connectivity from the phone did not work. I tried the settings listed here, but I continued to experience the same issue.
After dealing with these not working, I ended up taking a look at my wife's phone, which had worked without any problems immediately after setup. Upon comparing her settings to the settings listed here in XDA, the one big difference I had noticed was on the APN setting. When I changed the setting to what she had, it started working immediately.
If anyone is having a similar problem, change the "APN" setting to: fast.metropcs.com vice fast.tmobile.com (or fast.t-mobile.com); it should take care of the problem. HTH someone like the site has helped me.
Hello, I am in the same boat and the above posts have not worked for me. I recently bought the Elephone P6000 so it didn't come with any APNs by default.

Name should not make a difference (whether MetroPCS, metripcs or LeroyJenkins, it's just the name)
Fast.t-mobile.com and fast.t-mobile.com both worked for my M8 (fast.metropcs.com did not anymore after Lollipop upgrade), however, since you are not using an HTC One, try using the fast.metropcs.com APN as suggested by OS2Tech. Good luck!

My gf bought a Verizon S4 last week and is now here in The Netherlands trying to get this Dutch Vodafone SIM card working. It accepts the SIM and it makes calls/receives texts. But data isn't working because the correct APN settings can't be added.
I set the network type to GSM (or Global, doesn't change anything), restart the phone, but the necessary options are unavailable. There's a big + button in the bottom of the APN list to add APN's, but it's grayed out. Same goes for the only option visible under the menu button (something like 'Reset to defaults').
Any ideas?

Interesting. I use a UK sim and it works OK. Verizon doesn't enable the APN function when there's a Verizon SIM inserted.
I wonder if there's a similar block for Vodaphone since Verizon owns a chunk of them.

Anyone know if I can change the APN some way now that I've rooted the phone?
7 months later and my girlfriend has moved to the Netherlands last week. Obviously she wants to use her Verizon S4 with a Dutch carrier permanently now, but even with the latest firmware there's still no way to change the APN settings and it's pissing me off.
Another cry for help, I hope there's a way to fix this!

There's a few things to try.
1. Try installing an APN application. "Offline SIM APN Database" shows up in some Google searches.
2. It may be that using a custom ROM will allow you to bypass that lock.
3. Try some other carrier's SIM to see if it unlocks the APN settings. The lockout happens when there's a Verizon SIM installed. I suspect it also happens with Vodaphone SIMs.
have her reboot into safe mode wipe everything then install the stock rom. i did the same , same phone and there is no trouble adding my apn from another carrier.. its completely stock..

The APN application isn't able to set APN data anymore since JellyBean. When I pop in the Vodafone SIM it says it's a Verizon SIM but shows Vodafone as the carrier. That's kinda weird.
I could install a custom ROM, but I'd rather not honestly. It's not my phone. That'll be a last resort.
I currently don't have a SIM for another carrier available and would like to use Vodafone anyway, since they have the plan that best fits her needs anyway. I'll see if I can pick up a cheap Prepaid SIM later.

I think your only resort is to talk to Vodaphone and have them tell you what to do.
The lock happens when the firmware on the Verizon phone detects a Verizon SIM. Vodaphone is Verizon,so it's supposed to configure an APN by default with the right settings (it's disabled to keep you from messing with it and causing the phone to fail.) I think the APN data is stored on the SIM and loaded when the SIM is recognized, so perhaps your Vodaphone SIM just needs that loaded.
So, two choices: get Vodaphone to fix it (they'll probably tell you that the phone is not supported), or buy a new phone to use with Vodaphone.
You're lucky that it didn't just activate the standard VZ plan in the Vodaphone area - $20.48 per megabyte.
I bought a €10 KPN prepaid SIM just to test it, and I'm able to add the APN now.
Unfortunately, this will probably mean I can't get a Vodafone subscription because of Verizon's messed up "security". Glad I don't have to deal with that company again...
I don't see Vodafone be able to help since they have no connection to Verizon whatsoever and obviously can't change anything about the phone either.
Thanks for the help guys!
I have the LS990 (Sprint) so I don't know if it is the same for other devices (comment below if it works for you)

DOWNLOAD THE SHORTCUT MASTER LITE APP IN THE PLAYSTORE: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite&hl=en
I was messing around with the hiddenmenus in the phone and I found a way to force LTE only on the LG G3. It normally does't give you that option in the Mobile Data network settings because you can't make calls on just LTE yet so if you turn this on, make sure you switch it back to what setting it was before so you can make and receive calls.
Launch Shortcut Master Lite and open the menu to search for "systemselection"

}
tap on "com.lge.hiddenmenu.vzw_only.SystemSelection" and click launch. Then Grant SU.
Then finally tap on Network mode and you will be able to select LTE only. Again make sure you switch it back so you can receive and make calls.
There you go! I am with Sprint so sometimes data is really slow and for whatever reason sometimes my data would stay on 3G even though I am in an LTE area so this way forces it on.
I have more goodies if you guys want to see them (ex: see what LTE band you are on and and turning them on and off, turning on Lab mode, production mode to Lab mode, etc)
Just to let you know lte does not support calls so you will need to enable VOLTE so you can get voice over lte (volte). You can enable this via shorcut master just search "VOLTE" then enable it. (Just thought I'd let you know )

I was just complaining the other day about how I missed svdo that the HTC evo 4g lte had. Simultaneous Voice over data. On this device, when you start a call, data connection stops.
Would VOLTE enable svdo? Thatd be absolutely awesome.
I was reading about some secret menu and it has a mode like that I tried it and I was able to make calls and come on xda. I will have to look for the exact setting but you can find the area in shortcut master just search for "com.lge.SprintHiddenMenu.sprintspec.Data" (No quotes). You need your MSL code in order to modify these settings if you don't have it you can call sprint and request it for free. The only thing you need is your account pin code and your phones iemi if you have multiple device's it just makes life easier for the person. Then just click "Edit" and type in your IEMI number and you can edit anything.
I don't know for sure and I don't take responsibility if you do this but I am pretty sure that you have to turn on "DDTM". You can find it under "EVDO". Again I have no idea if this is it so just make sure before doing this you make a backup. If something goes wrong PM me and I will help you. If you don't make a backup and something goes wrong don't get mad at me because I will not help if your mean
So VOLTE allowed you to browse Xda while in a call, or DDTM did? Sorry, just a bit confused. But if you found a way to have data and phone at same time, that would be fanfreakingtastic !

VOLTE allows you to do that but Sprint is not setup for that. You can't call with data anyways with tri-band devices but you could with LTE non-spark devices. It has to do something with the number of radios.
Damn, that sucks. My evo LTE had svdo, and that was such a great feature. Really pisses me off that CDMA tech makes it necessary to have extra radios for that, radios that no one includes. I believe the evo lte and one Samsung or moto device had the appropriate radios, and that was it. The 2 flagships during early stages of lte rollout were the only ones.
Sorry for hijacking thread.

It's ok. Did the force LTE on work for you? No one else gave me confirmation. If it did could you say the version of Android and what device you have?
I haven't tried yet, sorry. I was unclear if DDTS needed to be selected, or just VOLTE.
Has anyone had luck with DDTS change?

That short cut is for ##data# dialer code, now I wish I had data when making a call. But no sprint phone I ever owned did it, so I guess I don't know what I'm missing.

I did the force LTE and it works great. I'm in a horrible LTE area, aka, the entire state of NH, so forcing it to only LTE really helps keep it there once I have it. Thanks!
great job on this one....it does work but yes u cant make or receive calls but text does work....to change it back u can just go under normal network setting and reselect it
