Hi, I have a old sprint galaxy note 3 that was flashed to page plus years ago. everything from calls text and 3g data was working until this morning when I accidentally hit a "network settings reset".
Now I can still make calls and recieve text but the data/Internet is not connecting. I looked in my APN settings and see that the needed Page plus apn is gone. But the screen is also greyed out so I cannot edit it.
My phone is rooted if this helps but I am relitively new to this. So if anyone can please help me in sort of simple terms I would be so appreciative & would even donate to a paypal account for the help. I rely heavily on my hotspot so I would like to fix this. Page plus was of no help because the phone is flashed.

Did you try going in the Settings menu and changing the network settings?

Hi!
I have a Verizon Samsung Fascinate (SCH-i500) currently working with PagePlus Talk and Text. I bought it from somebody, so I'm a second owner. Mostly I use wi-fi, but sometimes I need to use data/mms. I went to a PagePlus dealer and asked about enable data/mms, he said I can't use it because PagePlus dose not allow data/mms on smartphone. I searched about solution more than a week, but I couldn't find it. Can you help me with your magic hands? I have QPST program. If you can, please give me a step by step instruction.
Thanks!!!
I just activated a Fascinate with Page Plus today, and I seem to be having the same issue with no data or mms working. Calls and text seems to be working fine though. I bought the phone off ebay, so it was previously used with Verizon service. I've searched for the past week on this as well, and I can't seem to find any instructions on what to do, and Page Plus CS is pretty useless. Any help would greatly be appreciated, thanks in advance!
I don't really know how to fix it but maybe I.have some information that can send you in the right direction.
First, there was a thread where people got the fascinate working on either US.cellular or cricket. That may help you get some information.
Second im pretty sure they had to use qpst to change the settings.
Third I think the problem had to do with the prl information in the phone.

Hey thanks for your reply. I looked into people flashing to cricket and there isn't much information on that either. Plus I can't seem to find any apn settings or anything like that for Page Plus. I've prob spent another 6 hrs today on this with no luck. If anyone has any info about getting data and mms working it will be a huge help. Pretty much everything I find online are people asking what I'm asking with no responses.
For data, you require qpst build 215. Flash the correct ppp settings for your carrier. Any other build will yield you nothing. As far as mms, use apn back up to flash the correct settings.
Hey I really appreciate you giving me an idea with qpst. Unfortunately I'm still stuck at one part, so I'm hoping you might be able to clear that up for me. I downloaded qpst 2.7 build 215, I got my phone in dial up mode from **33284, set the COM port to 1, so I have the QPST service program recognizing my device, and I'm at the PPP Config tab. Only problem is I have no idea what values to enter for anything, I see 3 tabs "Rm", "Um", and "AN" and in each one there are spaces for values of "LCP", "IPCP", "IPCPv6". Then there are spaces for user id, password, tethered NAI, retries, timeout, primary dns, secondary dns, optimized dormant handoff, 1xEVDO->1x. So I really don't know where to begin. I've tried searching all over to see what I'm supposed to set if I want my phone working with Page Plus. Can't seem to find any clear answers. Anyways sorry for the long message. Hopefully you can clear some of this up for me. Again I really appreciate your help, thanks!
I just activated a fascinate on pp as well. Data works for me (haven't tried mms). Have you tried calling pp and verifying that data is enabled on the account? Also maybe an esn reset. The folks over at howard forums are pretty helpful too. Good luck!

Wow, sounds like you got lucky! I did call Page Plus to verify if data was enabled and it is. I guess I should call back and try the esn reset your suggesting. But as of right now I still don't have the data or mms working

Also when you log into your Page Plus account is your phone listed as generic? Mine is listed as generic, and with Phone features as SMS and voicemail. No mention about data on the phone. Even though my plan has 100 mb of data. I do see 100 mb of data listed under the plan on the right though.
I'm getting a fascinate off ebay.
how to use it on pageplus?
$.99c activation service on ebay will activate the phone since it is Verizon phone?
or i have to use qpst?? software?
You guys think my data and mss might not be working due to the fact that I'm running a custom rom and 2.2.1? As opposed to the stock 2.1? I want to get some feedback, before I odin back to 2.1 to test it out, thanks.
I got exactly the same issue.
I know for a fact that the phone is not a problem, because it was working for last half a year with pageplus. I ported a phone number from google voice today and lo and behold, data not working anymore. I tried calling pageplus, they reset data service twice, didn't help. I also tried re-programming by calling numbers from here: http://pageplusdealer.com/PagePlus/catalog/ActivationInstructions.php . I tried reflashing firmware, kernel, and radio, and nothing. It isn't even trying to data connect.
Anyone knows what to do with QPST to try helping the issue?
*EDIT*: I figured it out. QPST showed wrong NAI. Somehow instead of [email protected], it was some completely bogus number with completely bogus domain name. Anyway, I reset it to correct value, and it works fine now. I have absolutely no idea why was it reprogrammed, and why *22890 didn't put it back.
Use (Page Plus Cellular) i have a Galaxy S Fascinate (Verizon) and data / mms work perfectly, I'm on $29.95 Plan 1200 min / 3000 text, 100 mb Data per month.
Hello,
I bought my Atrix in AT&T, unlocked the sim and then rooted it. 3 days ago I finally bought a data plan, but for some reason, even when I'm using the same settings I got from Cellcom (my cellular supplier), the only thing I'm getting is "page is not available". I have found out that no matter if I have APN point or not, the H sign still appears in grey. Also, quick settings doesn't allow me to switch the data to "on" - it remains on "off" and under it, written "unknown". I really want to fix this problem, but I'm running out of ideas. please help me =)
Rooted AT&T Atrix: GingerBlur 4.5 ( already came from AT&T with 4.1.83)
thanks!
delete the settings that are in. reset to default and try to input again. after you save them make sure you select the actual apn for use. you should see the icons start to light up if its in right
I've done it like milions of time.
Off course,when I put my sim in cellcom's phone I can surf.I don't understand why the data is always off...
Hi guys,
I am on the Fido network.
I purchased the Galaxy S2 I9100 from Bell Mobility.
I unlocked the phone using cellunlocker.net.
Everything worked great once the phone was unlocked (data, voice, text, mms, etc).
Once I updated the APN and selected my network operator I noticed my date stamp on incoming texts was off by a few hours. I corrected this by calling my service provider who reset my SIM.
This is where the more serious problem started, the date stamp on the texts was corrected although I lost my data connection.
Another thing I wanted to mention was when restarting the S2, the data network mode (when holding the power button) automatically goes into "deactivated". I activate it right away although this still has no effect.
Can anyone help? The phone worked for just under 2 weeks with data, voice, etc. Now nothing........
=(

Go to mobile network settings - access point name. I'm guessing that there is no APN settings there. Google APN settings for your service provider or ring them and ask them. This should sort out your data connection
Hi,
All APN settings are correct, they were working prior to calling the service provider for a SIM reset. I rechecked them 10 million times to ensure all is well.
Using my wireless for now and even factory reset my phone but nothing.
Try deleting your apns and reconfigure them!

Just finished, I deleted my APN and created a new one. Still nothing, even when I reset to default. Also registered it on my network operator. This is very puzzling for me... I appreciate your response as I thought it was a great idea and was sure it would have worked! =(
Maybe try a buddies Fido sim to see if it helps.

Tell me what network your on and tell me what modem you are runinng? Take a screen shot of your APN settings. It will take 2 screen shots for the APN settings
I apologize for the delay as I was away for work until today...
The data works now.
I called into my service provider who at first stated they could not help me as my phone was unlocked. This was overcome as I still had the my Nexus S which I bought from my service provider which also had no data. After trouble shooting for 30 min on both phones (resetting, factory wiping, creating new APN's, etc) we were unable to get the data to work.
The tech rep then asked me to attend a Fido store (my provider), which I agreed to (rep asked me to insert my SIM into another Fido phone and try the data connection that way).
Within 10 min of the phone call my data connected just like that. Funny part is I didn't do anything to the S2.
I believe my provider switched off the data when I called in originally regarding my date stamp. Then when I called back they switched it back on knowing it wasn't any of my settings or the phone. This is just my theory.
My advice is never let your provider know you have an unlocked phone, especially Fido.
I appreciate your help and hope this helps anyone going forward.
i followed the thread made by whoareyou and i got the 4g network option and even put in the apn but nothing seems to work. i also get notifications that the voice and data are restricted. everything im doing so far is new to me but i cant get this to just work. if anyone could help me it would be much appreciated. when i turn the network app off and back on for a second it says in service then right back to emergency calls only if that helps anything to figure this out
i'm experiencing the same proble. I got the network to say 4G, I put in the proper APN for t mobile, but nothing. I put in the lines of code again in the cmd prompt because it worked for some people on the second try, still nothing. Please help!
So, I just flashed my old s4 to Straight Talk. Voice, and SMS worked fine right from the jump, only thing I had an issue with was Data. When I went to look everything suggested to change the APN settings. Upon trying, I wasn't able to change anything in the APN setting, everything was greyed out. I spent countless hours trying to figure out solutions.. Here are some things I tried:
Entering Developer Mode
Editing something to "yes" in the customer.xsl file
Adding ro.code_source or something like that in the build.prop file
None of that worked. I'm running Hyperdrive 20, so I would think it would be easier with an aftermarket Rom, but I'm stumped. Any tips?
Verizon to Straight Talk
I'm having the same problem. I have had several conversations with Straight Talk reps and so far their answers haven't helped. They are sending me a new Sim card and that is supposed to fix the problem. I doubt it, but it can't get worse!

edit - misread question
I FINALLY have LTE on my Verizon S4.
I now have LTE on Straight Talk!
In settings, under more networks, mobile networks, access point names, tap on Verizon Internet, if you change where it says APN to
tracfone.vzwentp
Tap the back button and make sure it still says tracfone.vzwentp under APN. Then hit the back button and make sure there's a green dot next to Verizon Internet. Then reboot and you should have LTE!
My wife's s4 and my g3 have been on straight talk vzw Sims for a few months now. Every month when the auto refill goes through our data shuts off and the 4g symbol is greyed out next to the signal bars. So I call and they ask me the same dumb questions and then they reset something and I reboot and I have data again.
I saw a thread on Howard forums where a guy detailed out some Apn settings that were different and mentioned something about old and new systems for connecting.
Since verizon is such a bastard about not letting us edit the apns our self fully, I'm going to try this on my wife's s4 next month and try the other apn and this fix on my g3 when the data shuts off. I can edit and create new apns from a hidden menu with shortcut master on my g3.
