Come on people help me out pls
Bro I gaved you a link where clearly explains step by step, he uses offline sim apn database app but theres other apps
""Download an APN app that will write APN settings onto your phone (I used an app called Offline SIM APN Database), if you want data services while abroad you're going to have to root your phone thanks to JellyBean (here is a fast way of rooting the phone*How to root the Samsung Galaxy S4 | Android | Geek.com)
2a. If you applied Root to your phone move your APN app into the system folder. ( I purchased Titanium Backup Pro to do this).
3. Backup your APN settings (This might not be necessary since Sprint Technical support told me that this data is locked into the Sprint Sim, but I am an IT guy so always back up)
4. Take your trip abroad
5. Pop in 3rd party Sim
6. Follow directions from Sprint International Support (Turn off device > Insert 3rd party SIM > go to Settings > More (tab) > System Update > UICC unlock.* You will receive the update and it should change to GSM Mode.)
7. To enable MMS/Data write 3rd party carrier APN settings to your phone using your APN app.

Ok bruv I'm based in the uk have a uk contract with ee a 4g provider I got the s4 from my relative I unlocked it via this site and also rooted it via this site I cannot get data I get signal fine but no data can you give me the correct step by step details in which I can set my phone to get this data connection sorted I can call you up if you like if it makes if easier cheers .
You won't get 4G data in the UK. They use a different frequency then Sprint S4 is capable of. The best you will do is get 3g. He gave you the instructions and you don't seem to be able to follow them. Sell the phone and buy one from your carrier if you want 4g and can't follow instructions

Try dialing *228 then option 1. If that doesn't work then try a factory data reset from settings. There may be other options but those are the two I know.

Do you live in a former alltel area? I do & I was having similar problems with email apps. Vz tech support had me do *22899 and then change my mobile data setting from automatic a to automatic b in the wireless & network settings menu. This option is only listed in former alltel areas though.

Ya I think so i went on the altlel website to check an it said
"Alltel is now a part of Verizon Wireless in your market, creating America's Largest Mobile to Mobile Calling Family — over 80 Million Strong! We'd like to invite you to shop verizonwireless.com and explore the full lineup of products and services we have available."
ok so i have flashed back to stock everything via odin and i still get problems and idea's?
You could try going to automatic b. As I understand it, it allows use of alltel AND vz towers & sets their priority as well. You get to it from menu>settings>wireless & networks>mobile data>system select.

well .. if your phone didn't need any additional configuration for APN during your very first use, then I guess, as princeasi just mentioned, you might have to check with your network operator for help..
the reason why i told tht you might have to define the APN settings is because, for me, I had to manually add the APN, username /password in order to get access to my carrier's data network ...
maybe you could browsing on this link: http://modmyi.com/wiki/index.php/Carrier_APN_Settings#Italian_Networks
for APN settings..
that link is meant to help configure iPhone APN settings (Android has a lot more parameters to define) .. but the details shud still work with your NexS
(for eg. all settings for my carrier were the same as what were already on my phone by default.. the only thing i had to configure manually was the u/name, password and APN name)
Hope that helps...
I let it auto reconfigure everything and it came back .. not sure what happened

Hi guys. Hope someone has an idea. My s4 was unlocked by sprint for my trip to england. Swapped the sim card for an o2 card. Talk and text work. I cannot get data to work. Tried turning it on and off. Rebooted the phone. Enabled mo ile data over mobile network. Enabled data under roaming settings for gsm data. Still nothing. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

If you can get wifi, download tweakker app. It will setup the APNs for you. Let us know if you get the data working.
I tried getting tweakker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tweakker), but it says "This app is incompatible with all of your devices." I have a 3G Nexus 7 as well, so I'm surprised it's not compatible with that nor my Sprint Galaxy S4. Is there a way to get it to install? Am I looking at the wrong app? Or is there another way to change the APN settings on the S4?

Yeah, it won't let me install it either. Weird. Worked on other phones before.
Try the different options under Connections->More Networks->Roaming. Maybe the APN options are buried there somewhere. Also, see if you have "data" checked under "GSM Network" in the roaming section, that might help.
Also, in the screen that shows you the network that you are on or allows you to select a network, make sure the green button is on the host network the SIM is associated with, then press the menu button, it might give you options for the APN.
Dial ##DATA# enter your MSL hit other then LTE APN settings then add your APN.

if you can hook up to wifi dl nova or apex (its just temporaory unless you want to keep it) hold on your home screen till you get the option to add shortcut>activities>settings>APNs this will give you access to add or remove apns at will without having to mess with your msl and sprint tech support.

That got me to a menu to add apn but the menu is grayed out and wont let me edit it. I figure I probably need root access.

I have root, and it's still greyed out. It doesn't prompt for root access either. That said, I don't have a GSM SIM in right now, so maybe when I put in a third party SIM it'll be available?
I'm guessing though it requires the MSL to add though, but there's no prompt to put it in either.
EDIT: Actually, I found the exact same APN menu under ##DATA# under Other, LTE APN. However, pressing menu doesn't even have the option to add an APN, and I put my MSL in to edit. I'm hoping it just won't let me add it because I still have the Sprint LTE SIM in.

shouldnt be under menu you should have like a little circle with a plus sign near the top right of the screen and that should prompt u to add your apn.

if you can get it and as long as that works then once you are done adding your APNs before you leave that screen be sure to hit menu and save

well my friend im at a loss. the problem is that i am always rooted and even when i got my sgs4 it was rooted in the first 5 minutes of ownership. i know you said you are as well but based off what i saw in your screenies it lookes like your running stock (or something that closly resembles stock) so it may be something in the stock rom thats not allowing you to change your settings. this method is how i have done it since the epic 4g days so i dont know what to tell you. mabey one of the devs here can give you a better workaround or help you unlock that edit menu cause im outta ideas. good luck :s
Sprint Galaxy S4 APNs Are Unchangeable and therefore prohibit international data use.

Update: This is a known issue on the Galaxy S4, primarily from Sprint. They have completely disabled all APN changing and editing I order to disallow data usage on any other network than their local and global roaming networks.
The only known way to fix this is to root your device which will void the warranty, stop OTA updates and software upgrades, and possibly brick your phone.
Or, you could just travel overseas and pay $500-800/ month for Sprints roaming.
And then there's the option of using your Galaxy S4 like a flop phone and just using it for SMS and phone calls.
Because even though Sprint says it's an international smartphone, it's not.. If you like to use data services that is.

that is not a data plan, a data plan is when your carrier allow you to enter the Internet for a monthly basis or by having credit on your prepaid account.
Also make sure reverse Tethering is working properly by having the Correct drivers for your phone and setup the sharing options on the Internet setting on your PC.

That would depend on the rom, there is nothing you can do.
You may remove your sim before flashing and then disable roaming and then insert sim back to prevent any roaming charges.
