so I am having APN issues after upgrading from 2.6.3 to 4.1.2 rooted. no data or mms, phone and txt works great. same provider.
galaxy s2 sch-r760 generic cdma, ACS provider here in alaska. apparently goes through gci?
now this is going to be a book, so grab a tasty beverage.
when i add the APN the mnc and mmc are not correct.
when i change them it discards the APN
i have no sim.
this thread did not help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715788
if i dont change those, it seems to communicate with my network as it fills in the mmsc field. but i get no internet.
if i enable then disable airplane mode it shows the 3g emblem, then it disappears.
I have all the correct APN info from my provider.
I have tried every way of changing the APN-conf.xml file but nothng has worked.
my thinking is that i need to change the default mnc and mmc that appear when i go to add the apn, to the correct values and then i will be able to save it.
however i cannot find that field in the systems. if someone know a trick i havent found in the last week of researching, please help.
could my phone be locked? if so how would i go about unlocking? could upgrading my software have changed my cdma settings??
i am fairly new to messing with android but i have some linux experience and am a quick learner.
Also if there is a custom rom or kernal or binary or what ever the operating system is called that might fix this issue and work on my device please let me know.
if someone does help i will pay a reward to them via pay pal, it wont be much but hey its better than nothing.
I've had an issue crop up every now and then esp if i switch roms. Right now I'm running the nameless 5.0 ROM t0lte on my i605 and sometimes it gets stuck on edge. Here's some help with getting 4g back.
Go to phone dialer and type *#*#4636#*#*
Should take you to a special menu. Click the top selection should be phone info.
Select band as in attached image.
Also go into settings where you change apn and make sure APN info looks like attached files. Then goto network operators and search for.. Try one of the at&t ones.
This should work

****NOOB Question**** I just bought a Sch-I605 from a friend and had it switched from VzW to Straight Talk, ive rooted using ghettoroot method (Super Shotout to the creator of it because it made at least rooting on 442 ND7 easy as pie!) right now i have not done much else to it is there somewhere that can show me the best settings for my phone/ maby also by area/ how would i know what the best settings for me are? if possible can someone point me in the right direction to learn more about what i am looking for ( im not even sure if i am asking the correct questions) id like optimal apn settings and id like to learn how to verify / can i switch from stock VZw settings to another as far as my data profile ?/ where can i find out how to gain unlimited data for my particular model and phone any help would be greatly appreciated .
also the dialer code *#*#4636#*#* did nothing ... the only thing i truly can assume about that part is i did something wrong is there a list of dialer codes?
** also if i am in the wrong forum / area i truly apologize for that where can i ask new to android dev questions id love to learn more not just to do it but also to know why im doing it.
***I TOTALLY apologize for the terrible grammar mistakes self-improving is time consuming***

Attempt to find a way to carrier unlock the LG Tribute HD (LG LS676) without having root access.
One consideration, GCPro Key might operate by generating a 'pseudo key' which tricks the phone into believing the system has been unlocked by the carrier. This is deployed to the phone via adb. If this is the case, it would not require root.
Second consideration, begging and pleading with Sprint to perform OTA unlocks. This doesn't seem likely.
So, just as an update, I was able to get the phone to recognize a FreedomPop global sim, but without being able to edit the APN settings, it is unusable.
Have you tried to change the APN by dialing ##3282# to get the Data settings menu? It requires entering the MSL to edit.
I looked at the APN settings, but even with the MSL given to me by Ting it didn't seem to want to let me edit any.
I just unlocked my friend's with gsmzambia. Everything working perfectly.
this gsmzambia is bot

How did you manage to get it accept non-Sprint SIM?

It was activated on Ting, and they were able to perform an International SIM unlock.
Since APN's cannot be edited, it isn't worth very much, though
Ok

Your feedback is valuable to us, thanks
Why can't anyone edit apn settings? I have a **** boost mobile LG tribute had (LS 676), and boost provided me my msl code, so I CAN edit apn settings. What kind of screenshots can I post to help? If love to have root on this device.... Not a bad daily driver, but root for make it that much better. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide... And come on, gotta give it up to the devs, who have lost so much sleep...and probably a little hair, working on this!?
Hope this helps in some way?

What is the "this" you're referring to? I have a Tribute HD that was international unlocked by Ting. I have the MSL but ##3282# only displays APNs, can't edit them. How did you manage to edit them? Can you post a quick step by step process?
Lgls676
Use same method as g5 on youtude download hidden menu i believe its not install all ready tryed everything else same way to unlock hope it helps to gain root other then that check oma setting ##66236# msl required

I did - I can see the menus and settings and set LTE etc - but APNs are read-only. You can open to see but can't create any.

Can you post a screenshot of the APN settings Add/Edit view as a starter? I have MSL code too but unable to add/edit APN.
It took me a bit of time to figure out what is being suggested above related to following the G5 procedure to unlock the Tribute HD, so I am posting here to make it easier for everyone else trying to unlock this device.
For starters, you don't need the Service Programming Code (SPC), you don't need it rooted, nor do you need to have it internationally unlocked by a Sprint MVNO -- I unlocked two, and the second was pretty much straight out of the box (the first was internationally unlocked first).
Follow the instructions here for the G5 -- Same Hidden Menu app APK and same first 8 steps up to the point where you reboot and are about to add the new APN:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g5/how-to/guide-gsm-unlock-sprint-lg-g5-t3574819
Then, to add the new APN, which is where I struggled to find the solution and the "trick" to creating the new APN was recently posted towards the end of the G5 thread. To create the APN, use the Hidden Menu app and do the following:
1) Select IOT (GDG2),
2) Select LTE Setting
3) Select APN Setting
4) Now press and hold the multi-function key (the little square task-switcher on the lower right of the screen) and select NEW APN
5) Fill in at least the following 3 fields:
NAME -- Call it anything you want
APN -- Enter the APN for your carrier
APN Type -- Enter "default,dun" (without the quotes).
Note: If you have other APN entries that you know, please add them too -- the above 3 items will get at least the web working (and perhaps hotspot), but you may need additional carrier-specific settings for SMS/MMS/etc..
When you are finished entering the APN entries, press and hold the multifunction (little square) key again and select SAVE.
Make sure your new APN has the radio button selected on the right side of the screen, and then back your way out to the main menu and close the Hidden Menu app. Close the Hidden Menu app with the task switcher.
Your device should now show either 3G or LTE for your GSM-based carrier. The web should work, as should calling (admittedly I used FreedomPop SIMs for my testing so I was only able to test 3G with the Global SIM and LTE with the AT&T LTE SIM, but I didn't test calling/texting/MMS with a US-based SIM myself). If something isn't working, I'll borrow a T-Mo postpaid SIM from another phone and try to provide further assistance.
Kudos and thanks to all of those who figured out the G5 -- I am merely outlining the steps they developed here for the Tribute HD.
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?
Bad news, the LTE functionality test hack used to edit apns on S9 and older phones doesn't work anymore. But good news is, if you know your MSL (all 0's for unlocked), you can create new APNs. Just dial ##3282#, put in your MSL, click APN Settings, and create a new APN with the same settings as APN2 LTE ... internet, but add dun at end of APN type.
You cannot modify the APN once you save it, but if you make a mistake, go to general management, reset, reset network settings to remove the APN you added and fix any problems.
Enjoy
EDIT: Updating profile deletes the APN so you should get used to creating new APNs frequently.

I do not believe so but I have not been able to verify yet. I can verify that it does switch APN because mobile data cuts off for a min when you switch to the one you made, and a similar procedure on the S9 did not count on my tethering data. I get 50gb and it didn't count at all, just my normal data. I will test with this new one though.
How can i get my sprint MSL ? Can I even get it from them if I am leasing the phone?

Just call andtell them you want it if they ask for what tell them you're a developer
Add button is greyed out... I am not unlocked, I used 6, 0's but it let me hit Ok
Hope to find better solutions.
Thanks this worked for me hopefully it sticks without profile getting updated.
How did you edit this my phone will not allow me to edit this its grayed out. I try to add a d it dose nothing
works. :good:
how to get "enhanced LTE" working? so LTE stay connected while on voice call?
It seems that after the new update, I can not change it to my new added apn. Anyone could help?
I just called Sprint and they have me all 0's as my MSL. So means I'm unlocked and I didn't even know. Unless they lied. I'm about to find out when I try this hack.
Update: boo add option is grayed out. I didn't take this newest update and I thought that was the update that prevented adding APN.
If I reset will it reset to the original software version I had when I initially bought phone or the last update?

It will reset to your current update. You could flash older though, as long as the bootloader's haven't changed, which I believe hasn't but could be wrong.

Thanks. I'm going to look for the version I had when I bought my phone 3/12/19.
I think that Hotpot is included with my Sprint plan. Yip I think it's 50gb hotspot.
Disregard.
Following along... MSL 0's, cant "add" anything... I rarely use the hotspot, but at times I *need* it.
Any idea if anyone has broken this yet? I’m in the same boat where even with my MSL the edit functions are greed out.
is this still working?
esqueue said:
I'm on the most recent update, Got it only a few days ago. I purchased the phone outright from Bestbuy and my MSL seems to be all zeros. I was able to successfully enable wifi hotspot. This was one of the main reason I rooted my phones in the past. I know that this will be patched out eventually but it's awesome at the moment though.

would love to know if sprint folks still have the workaround for the wifi hotspot. I'm sitting on an unlocked S10 that I haven't shoved my SIM card in yet because I absolutely need the hotspot sometimes...
