I went through and read everything in the Super Thread - twice.
I went through and flashed the stock Rogers ICS 4.0.4 rom to the phone and then rooted it by flashing the cwm kernal in the instructions. My phone is successfully rooted and it is not reverting to the stock android recovery.
I went through and disabled all the Rogers bloatware and restarted the phone and now it isn't enabling itself automatically. Score one for patience and good advice.
I use Petro Canada Mobility pay as you go. They are a reseller of Rogers and the price is right until my ISP launches their wireless service.
I went through and set the phone so that is uses gsm/wcdma bands only - no LTE as it isn't available in my province as of yet. I set up Petro Canada's APN settings and save. I restart the phone and the phone automatically defaults back to Rogers APN settings. The APN that I created is gone - *poof* I can't count how many times in the last 24 hours I have reset this phone
What the heck am I missing here cause I can't figure it out. Why won't it save my APN settings? I got the rest of the kinks worked out and now this??
Do the Bell and Telus versions of this phone have the same quirks cause if they don't, I'll gladly flash their roms.
Help please!
I would leave the network to auto.
When you make an APN and save it, then select it, it disappears?
Can you edit the default Rogers APN?
Is your phone carrier unlocked?

When I make an APN and and save it, it is fine until I restart the phone. The minute I restart the APN disappears. I can edit the Rogers APN and save the changes. When I restart, it reverts to it's default settings. It is not carrier unlocked. Because my mobility carrier is a reseller of Rogers, my sim card works with it. There was no need to unlock it.
It seems like you need to unlock it, because you can't use any other carrier's APN, you're locked on Rogers.
Have you rooted it? Since that is the cheaper route, maybe being rooted will let you permanently create the correct APN.
Yes I have it rooted. Still the same issue.
Run a good nandroid backup ....
Then enter the new APN into the device ....
Then delete the old APN , then reboot ...
If the new APN sticks, then run a new backup and delete the old one ...
These devices can be temperamental on occasion ....g
Edit :
And yes ...you may be locked at this point, and stuck on Rogers ...g
I went through and unlocked the phone, stuck in a Bell Sim card and it recognized it right away. I went through completely reset the phone again, entered in my APN settings, and restarted. The settings disappeared. I am told that the Bell, Rogers, and Telus variants are all the same so I am going to flash one of their roms on the phone to see if I have better luck.
Well I flashed a different rom - Bell and that fixed the issue. It was the stock rogers rom that was causing me grief.
So my next question is this - anyone have any ideas on what Rom is better? The Telus or the Bell one?
Hello,
I have Koodo Mobile which is a sub brand of Telus. From using the Telus stock ROM, the Canadian Custom ICS ROM and others, only the first two ROMS mentioned allow me to connect via LTE, the rest only connect as high as HSPA+.
I'd prefer to stay rooted and use the Canadian Custom ICS rom, but there's one problem. I save the Koodo SP Access Point Name and it works fine, until I reboot and then it disappears. I've tried this several times and on a few reboots, I went straight to the APN settings and I watched as the Koodo SP APN showed up for a few seconds, then got deleted, possibly by some process???
So I started looking for APN files on my Android that I could edit to have the Telus APN changed to the Koodo APN info or create another APN (Koodo SP) that will stay listed after a reboot.
I found an APN file in /etc but after editing it, saving and rebooting, it didn't change anything.
Can someone please help! It's a pain having to reenter the APN every time I want to use data after a reboot.
hey on my galaxy s3 i9300 Australian version. im with optus and was wondering if any 1 new how to fix the no data connection issue. i looked it up and people say its to do with the apn. so i have reset apn to default and it helped but now its back to no data. i reinstalled the stock firmware for it and it went good again for a lil bit but now the data is back to not working. the problem seems to be appearing on a few forums but i havent found a fix. my wifi and calling and texting works fine.
Contact your network provider, if you have the latest stock rom and modem installed for your country then only the apn settings need to be checked. You might possibly need a new SIM, but it's more likely to be the apn settings are wrong.
.....Also note if you have been Rom swapping make sure you keep Australian modem version as they are optimized for your frequencies, you should find them in the modem thread
Hi, I had [ROM][I605VRUFND7][4.4.2]OFFICIAL STOCK ROOTED ODEX/DEODEX[6/13/2014] on my phone for a while and i went out of the country and used [MOD][ROOT] VZW GN2 GSM Unlock - Add APN Data - Remove Non-Verizon SIM Message so i could use that countries sim card which worked.
When i got back i am not able to get any internet with my vzw sim card, but i do get calling reception.
So i flashed back to my old 4.3 rom and i have internet with no problems.
I have tried just about every 4.4 rom i could find and none of them will let me use internet.
So now i dunno what to do, I want to go back to 4.4. does anyone have a clue what i can do to make the internet work again?
I've brought this LG G3 Verizon back in June. I'm running CM 13 20161102 build. Everything seems to work fine except the 4G services. When I change the preferred network type to LTE, the network bar disappear and shows no service. 3G and 2G work fine. I've also tried changing the preferred network type from *#*#4636#*#*, still no profit. I also tried changing the APN, still no luck. Please help me. (I'm using this phone in India). Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: I just found out that I have to enable the LTE bands. So using TWRP, I restored the stock KitKat ROM backup. Then I used Shortcut master to access the hidden menu, selected all bands and restarted my device. Then 4G seemed to work. Then I again restored the CM13 backup. I saw that the problem still persists. I want to know if there is a hidden menu in CM13 like the stock ROM has? If yes, please tell me how to access it and enable LTE bands. Thanks.
