Alrighty, heres my situation. i havnt been up to date with the Spyder community lately so i might of missed something but i need some suggestions. I decided to give my Uncle my Droid Razr so to keep him updated with software, i installed Safestrap (3.75), formatted the system, installed latest cm12.1 nightly, activated a mini cdma sim from straight talk and everything is running smoothly. the only problem i have is 3g/lte is not showing up. I get a signal bar with an ! beside them. i checked on straight talk website and it said i didnt need to modify verizons apn for straight talk but with Cyanogenmod, it gives you every carrier option under the son so what all should i have set to get a data signal? calling and texting works but no data.
i was gonna say screw it and rsd lite back to original moto firmware but looks like the rsd website is down.
I also have a verizon towered straight talk sim.
When I switched to my Droid 4 data came instantly.
When I switched to my Note 4 it took about 24 hours.
When I switched to the Razr Xt912 it was not happening right away. What I believed helped was switching over to the stock Rom and waiting utnil things activated. Took a bit. Could still take up to a day.
The only main issue I found is no LTE on any of the custom Roms. At least 4.4 and probably 5.0+
oh wow, i managed to get 1x to kick in but thats a 5kb data connection enough for mms

Go to setting, then mobile networks and place a check mark next to "Global". Re-boot and see if that helps. You can also try resetting the APN to default or manually set the APN for Straight Talk

Straight Talk offers a BYOP SIM card unlock, dont they??, also, if your using "Straight Talk", then you cant use Verizon APN
EDIT: Does it work properly if you boot into the stock ROM???, 3G, LTE and SMS??. If it does, then while in the stock ROM, manually copy the APN settings and then boot into CM 12 and manually copy/edit them while in CM 12.
EDIT 2: I dont use "Straight Talk" but I just saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a76Zi7HVy6A, see if this is of any help

i dont have the stock rom any more. BYOP is what i did. activated a cdma straight sim card and access point. I dont have access to the rsd files anymore. i did flash cm10 to see if the android version made a difference and nothing. APN should be the same from stock.

Look in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr/general/index-motorola-droid-razr-development-t3023837. This will have everything you need to flash back to stock, root then use safestrap to boot into Stock ROM or custom ROM on the fly. The link I provided will also have links to RSD Lite

I cannot for the life of me get Straight Talk data or MMS working. Phone calls and text work perfectly though.
I bought it online from Swappa, completely stock and followed the Straight Talk instructions that came with the SIM. I never got anything, not even a hint of data. Browsers would immediately say no connection, pic messages would just spin and nothing would happen.
So I went online and tried every single APN that people said "This worked for me," tried them all, restart-my-phone party-2013 and still nothing no connection ever.
So I thought maybe it was the AT&T stock image that wasn't letting me connect. I just flashed to Vanilla Rootbox and have been trying APN settings for the past hour or so. Still nothing, nothing ever changes. My signal has full bars but says ROAM. Which is odd because my brother has AT&T Straight Talk and gets data just fine in the same location I am now.
Am I missing something? Mobile Data is enabled, I've tried enabling data roaming multiple times to no effect.
What could possibly be the issue?

Yeah those were some of the first ones I tried on both the stock and on this ROM.
I enter them, restart my phone, when I open Chrome it just immediately says
"You are offline. Wi-Fi and mobile data are turned off."
Which is not true, because settings clearly shows Data is enabled in two different places. This is so frustrating.
Is there any way to check to make sure the radio that enables data is still working? I've thought about taking it in to the AT&T store to have them test it because I'm about out of ideas about what it could be.

You could try flashing another radio? But if not, I'm sure the people at AT&T could help. Down here they are pretty helpful and friendly no matter what.
Not sure if is your problem but I know with snowjb I and several others had to edit the default XML file then delete the lg one and then goop into APN settings and "reset to default" and select the added ST apn

Hello back everyone. I solved the issue!
It wasn't a problem with my APN settings, it ended up being a problem in the activation of my SIM card with straight talk.
I went through the port process and got my number moved to straight talk and my calls and texts were working fine so I figured it was a matter of just fiddling with the APN settings until I found some that worked. I had heard so many stories about this being the case. Unfortunately, in my case it wasn't true. I tried everything.
Good news is: I called Straight Talk and asked them what else I could do. They walked me through settings the APN settings, which was super frustrating, I literally had the correct settings memorized at this point. Then they asked me what phone I had. I told the CSR and she said "okay, I switched something on our side, restart your phone and see if it works." I was dubious because I had done this so many times but I guess she wasn't lying to me because I restarted and it has worked fine from then on.
tl;dr AT&T Optimus G works great on Straight Talk with an AT&T sim. Just call them if the provided APN doesn't work.
For anyone else with this problem:
I was having a similar issue after just switching (from a working Nokia Lumia 520) to a new LG Optimus G. In my case, the APN settings from my old phone (and the site I got them from) appeared to be out of date.
I went to the Straight Talk site, logged in, and went to Support -> HOW TO UPDATE DATA SETTINGS, entered my phone number and selected Android 4+. This gave me some different settings that are now working correctly.
Hi All,
I know its a topic which has been addressed differently in different threads. I am a user from India and have a GSM SIM. I have got a Verizon S4 phone. I tried using it with Vodafone SIM and get a problem in using it. Surprisingly a NOTE 2 from Verizon works just fine. I am able to use it for data with 3G but not able to use it for voice. Following steps have been tried already.
- Default Options of using Global Mode and GSM/UMTS ** Doesnt search the network at all.
- Hidden Menu Changes using # codes. ** Shows network but emergency mode only.
- Phone Info app to change the mode. ** Shows network but emergency mode only.
- RF Band change using the hidden menu. ** Shows network but emergency mode only.
It does say that it has GSM radio but cant be used for some software reason I suppose. I checked with Verizon Rep and was told that it cannot be used in India with a GSM SIM and would need the Verizon SIM only to connect with International Roaming.
Can I install a I-9505 ROM on this and then would it pick up the GSM signal for voice and data. Please help.
I don't think your Verizon rep is correct. I bought a Verizon S4 just before going to Europe for 1 month. I used first a gsm SIM card from Germany, and then a gsm card from France. I had to add APN's to get data (I used "offline sim APN database" from the market to help get the necessary APN info), but had no trouble with voice or data for my entire trip. The gps and navigation services on the phone were extremely valuable on a couple of occasions, as was the wifi hotspot. In France, you can purchase 2 GB of data service for 20 Euros. I checked with Verizon global services ( 908-559-4899 outside the US or 800-711-8300 from inside ) before I left, and the Verizon S4 was sim unlocked out of the box. They did not make a big deal of my plan to use other SIM cards either.

Installed WamanLite I9505 ROM
Hello All,
I found that Wanam Lite I-9505 ROM can be installed on Verizon S4. I installed it and patched it with Loki-Doki patch to boot up as I got the Verizon Software error. Yet my phone doesnt pick up the GSM signal for voice and SMS. It picks up the signal and I am able to browse internet on it but no calls or SMS. Please help...!!
Is there any way that I can install or flash a regular GSM radio over the phone ? Or tweak it in someway to use the GSM signal as primary for voice and sms.

I have also Verizon's S4 (i545) and use it in GSM network with only one small problem - it will not send SMS with in-ROM SMS apk to international-formatted numbers (+380-XX-XXX and so on), but send without problem to local-formatted numbers (XX-XXX...) All the rest is working good.
Could you tell me please - how did you get to install i9505's ROM on your device? I have also Verizon's error after installation, and don't know how to run it...
Hi I too have the vzw s4 in india.. and niether voice nor sms is functioning on it.
By rooting it and installing apn manager I was somehow able to get the data 3g working for vodafone ind.
I too am struggling to find a solution to this.
Ive haventvyet flashed it. I came across a guy who said he will be able to get it working but somehow I havent yet been abke to follow up with him.
Guess we both are on the same boat.

It is fully GSM and as international as regular GSM-version of S4. CDMA can be turned on only on hidden test application. Everything else is working and was tested in different networks.
I too created a post seeking help in this regard but didn came across anything concrete yet.
Everyone out here believes it to be a world phone and some have even been using the gsm network in europe but its not working in india.
Ive failed to understand that how come its detecting signals with functioning data is not working on either voice or sms.
Tmobile and atnt gs4 guess have this service menu from where they can be network unlocked explicitly..but unfortunately I havent yet come any such thing for vzw gs4.

I tried installing the ARHD 2.0 ROM but still the same issue persists. The phone picks up the signal for data but when tried selecting network manually or automatic using the GSM / UMTS option, it says disable data to search networks, when data is disabled, the phone shows available networks says phone registered to network but the status still says Emergency Calls Only. Also if tried dialing a phone it says no network available. There has to be something in the modem settings which can be tweaked through the service menu which will change the use of GSM for voice and data and not use CDMA.

Did you do a full wipe when flashing ROM? It is mandatory. You will lose all your data though. If there will be no changes after full wipe - then try to install this card into another phone and ckeck if voice calling is working.

I did a full wipe. I have 2 Galaxy S4's and also an Optimus G. The card that I am using is my regular SIM card so its not an issue with the card for sure. The ROM was installed on both the phones and neither of them picked up the signal for voice and SMS.

Ok. To go and chose type of radio-band you may install Battery Monitor Widget from Google Play (well, the main purpose of this app is different, but it is what comes first in my mind). Put it's widget on the desktop, open it and go for bottom right button, named Test. There you can first menu (Device Info) and there you will be able to change all variations of the radio bands and their combinations, available for i545. If non of the combinations will help - mosty probably your operator works on unsupported for this phone cellular format.

I have the Phone Info app which allows band select. Tried on all possible modes. Same issue persists. Strangely the Note 2 purchased from Verizon works flawlessly without any mods or changes. I am thinking of giving to some professional phone guy who may have code level flashing or modding tools to try and fiddle around with settings of the modem or the radio to pick up the signal here.

Hey phrozenwire, I am able to use both voice n sms now in my VZW GS4.
And I literally did nothing to make the voice n sms functional. I too had troubles for like 2 weeks and it didn work for me then.
I rooted the phone to add apn settings and the data got activated. But today morning when I woke up ... surprise surprise .. it began to work.. rcvd sms and calls and I was so happy. . Last I remember I switched on the power save mode and my cell fell down twice and guess it did the trick for me.
Thanks all for your help and comments.

Okay so I just wanted to help out anyone else who wanted to get their DNA flashed to PagePlus since there are no (complete / dedicated) guides for this. Also, I figure I'd save a couple of people ~$20 - $50 to pay to have their phones flashed. I'm no expert at this, but I did get voice, sms and 3G (see below) data working. I know how to get MMS working (natively) but I am only familiar on how to do it with Cyanogenmod / CM-based ROMs (I'm on ViperDNA). So here we go. (Sorry for the lack of pictures, I'm just short on time right now.)
What you'll need:
Phone Information: Know your MIN, MDN and SID. You can get this information from PagePlus.
HTC Sync. You can get it here.
CDMA Workshop 2.7. Get the full version.
HTC Diag drivers (read through for this, download below).
PagePlus PRL files (download below).
A stock DNA, or at least one running a stock ROM like this. It's needed to access Diagnostic Mode.
An unactivated Verizon 4G LTE Micro SIM card (you can get one here for $5). This is critical.
Once you have all of this ready, you can get to flashing!
Make sure you have everything prepped. Get your PagePlus account setup and activated (phone number and plan). You won't be able to add your phone to your account specifically yet, but you will put the number in service. Also, make sure you've got the SIM card with you as well. DO NOT PUT THE SIM IN THE PHONE YET.
Install HTC Sync if you haven't already. This will install the HTC Drivers for you.
Connect your phone to your computer and let all the drivers install.
Once completed, go to the phone dialer and dial ##3424#. This will put the phone in diagnostic mode. Windows will then install the HTC DIAG and HTC DIAG 9k drivers. Windows found and installed the drivers for me, so they may work for you. If the installation fails, just follow the instructions to install the DIAG drivers here. (Note: The Device Manager won't say HTC USB Modem, it'll say HTC Diagnostic Interface (COMX) & HTC Diagnostic Interface - 9k (COMX).)
Once installed, enter ##3424# on your DNA's keypad again if necessary, go to the Device Manager and check if the two HTC Diagnostic ports are listed under LPT/COM Ports without the yellow triangle. If there's no error triangle you're good to go.
Take note of the COM port that the "HTC Diagnostic Interface - 9k" diagnostic interface is on. This is what we'll be writing to.
You just got past the first hurdle. Now it's time to start actually flashing the phone.
Open up CDMA Workshop. Hopefully you'd have had this downloaded by now.
Connect to the COM port that HTC Diagnostic Interface - 9k is on. Click connect. YOU CANNOT CONNECT TO THE REGULAR (NON-9k) HTC DIAGNOSTIC INTERFACE'S PORT. This is normal.
The status bar at the bottom of the window will say "Ready..." if you are connected. Click read. If everything on the left hand side of the window populates, you're good.
Now for these next parts, I'm going to give my own experience. I had issues with the phone not responding to the write commands (it appeared) so I'd always write everything multiple times just to be safe. I'd also have to enter the SPC unlock code numerous times throughout working on the phone. It was quite annoying. Settings stuck though, which was good.
Go to the Security tab. Look for the SPC section. Enter "000000" (without quotes) into the box above the Read and SPC buttons. Then click SPC > Send. you'll then get a message saying the phone has been unlocked.
Go to the Other tab. Look under RU-IM. Click the drop down box and select "NV-only".
In the same tab go to the PRL box. "NAM1" should be selected in the drop down box. Under it click the Write button and browse to the folder with the downloaded PagePlus PRLs. I recommend choosing to write "52711.prl" as that's the one that worked for me. Write the PRL to NAM1.
Click the drop down box and select NAM2. Write the same PRL to it as well.
Switch the the NAM tab. Click the Read button at the bottom of the box. The fields should populate with data.
Overwrite the MIN field with the info PagePlus gave you. Enter your phone number into Dir_Number (the field to the right of MIN). then go down to SID and replace that number with the SID PagePlus gave you. Write the data.
Click read to ensure the data was written. Go back to the Main tab and then go to Mode > Reset. Disconnect from CDMA Workshop and reboot your phone.
Once rebooted, connect the phone to your PC again and enter DIAG Mode (##3424#). Open up CDMA workshop and connect to the appropriate COM port. Read the data and ensure everything in the NAM tab is what you entered. If it is correct, you may disconnect end get out of DIAG Mode.
Alright, here's where it gets changed up. Wifi was not working for me on the stock ROM that I flashed, so I flashed my DNA to ViperDNA after these steps (which I recommend). If wifi is working for you, you can just continue then.
Open up the Play Store and search for LTE On/Off (for the HTC Thunderbolt). Install it.
Open it up, scroll down to the radio settings and select CDMA auto (PRL). The settings may not stick at first. Just keep applying it and turn the radio on and off. (When I would select it, it would change to CDMA + EvDo/LTE and I'd have to keep toggling it and selecting CDMA auto (PRL) until it stuck).
Enter airplane mode for a minute and then disable it. Wait a minute or two. If the signal bars show up without the roaming sign, you're good. Go to Settings > Mobile Data. You should see your data mode set to CDMA (on ViperDNA at least). DO NOT EDIT THIS.
Shut your phone off. Insert your SIM card. Turn your phone on.
Open up LTE On/Off and make sure that it's still set to CDMA auto (PRL). You should be getting text messages (to check, just use Google Voice and send a text to your number). Call *22890 or *22891. It may not work. Wait a bit though as it may start auto activating for you without needing to actually open the phone app or anything (this happened for me). It'll activate the phone with Verizon Prepaid (obviously not PagePlus) BUT THIS IS NORMAL. Let the phone finish activating.
Make a call and listen to the instructions. It'll say something about your activation PIN being defaulted to the last 4 digits of your number, and to press 1 for English texting or something. Just press one.
Congratulations, your phone is flashed. You should now have voice, sms and 3G working.
If 3G isn't working for you, kick your phone into airplane mode for a bit and then disable it. Also toggle Mobile Data on and off once or twice. Eventually (within 15 minutes) 3G will start working.
Extended Notes
If for some reason the "52711.prl" list results in a roaming signal, try flashing one of the other lists included in the download. Make sure you are writing to BOTH NAM1 and NAM2.
If the HTC Diag drivers don't work for you / are not recognized, install PdaNet and then get the diagnostic drivers from there.
I am not 100% sure if this will work, so if any CM/CM-based ROM users can confirm this that'd be great. I used this same method on my Rezound to get MMS working on PagePlus. Just do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41981275&postcount=172.
Can I ask those of you who have flashed their DNAs to PagePlus using this guide to please report back with 3G speeds (post a picture using the SpeedTest.net app)? Thanks! I just want to make sure 3G is working as best as it possibly can. So far speeds are pretty fast for me though.

I would never have figured out how to do this without the guide on flashing the Rezound to PagePlus from javamaan, Yura80, watt19, AsianCajun and the other guys in that thread. Also dhaval1's reply to a thread that I randomly came by also helped. And I'd also like to thank the guys from those threads and other places here on XDA who got these files onto the forums for use!
Also, HUGE thanks to CapnChaos and jeanr464 for solving the MMS problem!

JDA, thanks for the posting. Seems a bit different than other profiles used, but also works.
Thanks JDA, a quick question does this mean we need the stock ROM only for flashing the prl, and after that we can move to any other rom as long as it support Verizon network?

I am curious how similar the process is for flashing to Selectel? I have seen a few people around say that a phone setup to work on page plus should work without modification on selectel but I also understand page plus is prepaid and selectel is postpaid in terms of network access so I wonder about that a little.
Sorry for the late reply, hopefully you already did this though so I'll make an update for future users:
I was wrong. You only need a ROM with the stock phone app. I'm on ViperDNA and I found I can easily enter diag mode. I stated that because with past experiences on my Rez, diag mode could not be accessed through Cyanogenmod 10.1's dialer (so I had to revert to stock).

MMS Problem
I used this guide to flash my HTC Droid DNA to PagePlus With 3G and Talk and Text. I cannot get MMS to work for some reason. Can someone help me.Thank you in advance.
Thanks In Advance.
Talk- Works
Text- Works
3G- Stable/2.42 MBPS Lowest Speed
MMS- Not Working
Thanks for the guide.
I can't get data working and I'm having trouble getting my sim to activate. The first time I tried, it tried to activate on its own like you said, but failed (I think because I accidentally had my old phone still on and I did an esn swap). I thought maybe I just ruined that sim so I bought another blank sim. But when I put it in it just said "Preparing sim card..." and didn't try to activate.
I'm new to 4g phones, so if anybody could give me any clues how to get data working I'd appreciate it.
Give it some time to auto activate

How long should it take? Do I need to re-run the initial phone setup to make it activate?
And to your question, did you try the 8sms application here with the PagePlus setttings? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41195590#post41195590
Yes I used 8sms and don't run the initial phone setup again

I actually got 3g working without going through the activation process. I used DFS to match my settings to post #6 in this thread (replacing my phone number with the blurred out sections in the pics). I left the keys sections blank, but somehow my 3g still works. I thought the keys would be necessary and that I'd have to get them from a donor phone, but everything works without them.
How do you get MMS to work??

I need help with MMS and how to edit APN-CONF.xml and where that file would be. When i send a MMS it states "invalid destination address"
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.
