i had bought an unlocked LG V60 from ebay and it was able to connect to mobile data using my Lyca mobile sim . but since the last update the phone is not able to connect to mobile data as the apn is coming greyed out . I tried updating it with few apn apps from the app store and didn't have any luck with it. Its a t-mobile version and the unlock checker app says the mobile is unlocked . Is there any way to revert back to the older version or add apn to use mobile data . I have already done a hard reset and the issue still persists . I am currently in uk and any help will be really appreciated .

Hey
Had an issue updating my phone and had to do a factory reset and download all my apps etc. again….!!!
However on Pay as you go and now cannot connect to the Interweb. Have been in touch with o2 and they provided the below settings
Settings- Wireless & networks- Mobile networks- Access Point Names
Name: O2.ie Internet,APN: internet,Proxy: leave blank,Port: leave blank,Username: blank,Password: blank,Server: blank then MMSC:http://mmsc.mms.o2.ie:8002,MMS Proxy: 62.40.32.40,MMS Port : 8080,MMS Protocol : WAP 2.0,MCC : 272,MNC : 02,Authentication Type : PAP
Have the Data Switch app and when I click this it states mobile data enabled but still cannot connect to Interweb.The phone(S3) is rooted and its running Android Version 4.1.2 Wanamlite xxemd3. Was told to go into an o2 store but wondering anyone here can help?
Anyone…Bueller?
Cheers
O2 may reject help non Samsung firmware .
As you factory restored it could be sim card faulty .
actory reset and download all my apps etc. again…
Not heard of Nandroid or Titanium backup .
Might be worth looking for an O2 forum for alternative settings .
APN settings dont look n100% correct to me .
Fails reflash rom or flash stock rom .

Its not the SIM as I checked it could be a problem with the firmware installed. Do I need to install the O2 stock firmware from Sam Mobile and take it from there. Cannot connect to network so there is some compatible issues between Phone and SIM
hi guys I got a Samsung s3 of a mate he had it working on a custom rom I wanted it back to stock so flashed it with a btu (uk) firmware
now when I put my virgin media sim in it I get the "do I want to download the virgin media config settings"
I press yes and I get nothing?
now here is the thing it will give me access to virgin mobile internet?
I go to settings and the virgin media apn for mobile internet is there but nothing else
it will not register on the network
the sim works fine on my other phone
I have done this .....Open your dial pad and then type in *#197328640#.
Go to Main Menu > [1] UMTS > [1] Debug Screen > [8] Phone Control > [6] Network Lock >then I just get this message....MENU NOT EXIST PRESS BACK KEY Current command is 186
thopughts please
Very difficult to understand you, but flashing a firmware has nothing to do with network lock.

If your phone is unable to connect Virgin network then how come it asked you to download config settings. Are you able to call any one? If not then flash the correct firmware. (Refer sammobile)
If you are able to dial out and only internet is issue then google and find out virgin mobile internet configuration and do it manually.

When you installed the rom (BTU is fine its a generic UK Europe firmware so any sim should work) did you do a factory reset to clean the phone of all the custom stuff, if not then do that, Settings > Accounts > Backup and Reset then Factory Data Reset if you are running Android 4.3
This will wipe the phone data and settings to return it to factory state of the BTU rom, move any pictures, music etc from the internal storage to your external SD card or you will lose it
When the phone reboots you will need to set it up from scratch as if you had just got it.

In addition to the above: reboot the phone and go to Settings..more settings...Mobile networks....network operators. ..select Virgin and let phone register on the network.

hi this sim works flawless in my chinky phone
is there any way I can find out if my phone is barred and if it was barred would I be able to use the phone for mms as it can send mms?
sorry if this is stupid btw

Don't know how to check if the phone is barred. As your phone registered on Virgin network, I don't think it's network-locked.
Try a sim from a different network to see if you can replicate the problem.
Maybe try factory reset and setup without the sim card in. After the set up shut down and pop in the SIM, then restart. Make sure mobile data and wifi are off when you restart.
It is odd, because it should automatically configure without the need to download anything.
ok thanks will try that
ok done all that phoned virgin support
they are suggesting it is locked onto the previous network
thing is I don't know what the network was before so I guess
ive got hold of a small wifi tablet for the boys to play with
unless someone can point me in the right direction?????

Use KIES to recover the original phone firmware,
Start Kies do not connect the phone turn that off and remove the battery
On the menu bar go to Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Installation them follow the instructions
This will put the most up to date original firmware version on the phone but may well sim lock it if it was previously locked to a network
Hey guys, recently I've got an Alpha SM-G850A which is for AT&T. I live in Iran and the phone has been unlocked to work here, I was trying to get the Android Lollipop 5.0.2 for my phone. so first I tried to get the update from AT&T software update by phone, but it says that there seems to be no updates available for me, nevertheless on the net the guys claim that they've got the update, is it due to my location in Iran and my internet IP? (I used VPN too but again, no updates). I tried to get the firmware from Sammobile.com too, but there were no firmwares detected for SM-G850A. Can someone help please?:good::good:
BTW, I've got the cellular data from my operator, and it works, but I can't select which type I wanna use (2G, 3G or 4G). I mean there's no options in the phone settings to select the data connection type. NEED HELP!

Even tho the phone is working on other networks you will still need an at&t sim card to update it. There is no way around this as far as i know.
Type below code in dialer and select Device information. Now, if you scroll down you will have the option to change network type.

Sent from my LGLS990 using XDA Free mobile app
happened to me a few times when flashing, i talked to the sprint cs ppl and they said it had to do with the towers not giving u the proper handshake when booting, i just kept doing the ##72786
I have the same problem and released this because I use with Telcel in Mexico but do not let me use data not shown me I get my operator Mimas options attached images...
work if I do say to type: ##72786# ???
only 3g on RR 5.5.5
I've had to experiement with lots of different ROMs to get the data working at the same time as the calls/texts on my phone.
i've used straighttalk for a while and finally abandoned that ship and went with Ting.
so far, other than stock rom, i only get service on Resurection remix but its only 3g.
anyone find a work around for this kind of problem?
I'm on their sprint CDMA network.
