Recently bought the verizon model (G900V) for use in Brazil, though some configuration is required to make use of 3G. Currently i can not add or edit any configuration of APN.
Any ideas?

Perhaps you need to set up the APN manually. Go to Settings/Wireless and network/Mobile networks/Access Point Names, and add a new APN with your carrier's settings.
omg.. its a lot of settings.. how do i go about doing that
Who is your mobile service provider? Try googling "X APN settings android" X being the name of your provider.
And no need to worry about all those settings.. usually you just need to set the top 2, which for example for me are Saunalahti Internet (name) and Internet.saunalahti (APN name)
Thanks Thom47 and TS
I had the same problem and now its fixed

Internet Sharing/Tethering on the e900H (850/1900 UMTS)

We have had to twiddle our thumbs,while our counterparts with the e900 have been able to enjoy Internet sharing by flashing Vodaphone ROMS. Well it seems that those of us with the e900H finally have an option as well.
A fellow forum member reported that the Argentinian e900H from the carrier "Personal" has just received the Internet Connection Sharing update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20085347&postcount=166
I may try switching ROMs tonight, if anyone tries before I update this post, please inform us of your results.
Update
As I've mentioned in my last post, I have finally achieved e900h Zen by flashing the Personal ROM, and then installing HeathCliff's WP7 Root Tools.
The Personal ROM brought Internet Sharring capabilities. I was able to enable both internet and MMS using WP7 Root Tools which allowed me to copy my carrier's 3 XML settings files from my original Telus ROM into my Windows directory. I then used the MFG app to choose the XML Carrier settings file.
Sweet I connected my phone today and I got a Zune message about an update so I'm updating the phone right now, the info says: LG Update for Windows Phone, hope I get Internet Sharing!
My carrier is Claro on Puerto Rico.
.... Wohoo! Got my Internet Sharing and Add Wifi networks option. Now, time to meet with iPhone friends and rub the Internet Sharing in their face lol.
Is right i´m from Argentina and today I receive update with internet sharing and work´s fine!!!!

Hi,
Can you check following thru MFG:
Goes to Engineer menu -> Other Setting -> Edir registry: Select ROOT_PATH: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
In field Input SUB_PATH type following \System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo
Under Input KEY... type: MobileOperator, click Query
Then again under Input Key... type: MOName, click Query
Again, under Input Key... type OEMDeviceName, click Query
(Type values here)

I'm still waiting a bit to see if Telus pushes the update so that I do not have to change ROMS.
I have a Telus phone, on a whim I tried CLA-PR as my operator code. It works, and pushes the 7440 mango update BUT since we are using different firmware versions, I did not get pushed a firmware update, and there's no "Internet Sharing" in Settings.
Seems that this shortcut won't work unfortunately.
I'm beginning to have my doubts about Telus releasing an official update. I'd rather not have to flash a ROM - especially a non-english ROM, as I bought into WP7 to get away from flashing.
I had read this article, http://www.wpcentral.com/canada-done-wp7, a while back, but dismissed it as BS speculation. Now I'm reconsidering.
I asked the only other WP7 users on Telus if they've heard anything...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20528489#post20528489

Flashed it to Personal Argentina too. Everything works, EXCEPT MMS. Activated ADC, but it didn't work. Tried to select the carrier XML, but the TELUS carrier file is not included in the ROM. Anyone know how to fix this?

I have the same issue, I have been trying to solve it via registry edits. I'll let you know what I find. Hopefully either registry edits or sideloading the northern America xml network profiles will work.

Is your voice to text or voice to search working? Mine isn't on cellular, but it works on WiFi. It will time out and say "Sorry, we can't access the network right now"
ADDED: Reflashed to TELUS stock ROM. That fixed voice command. Looks like it's more than just MMS that doesn't work on the Personal Argentina ROM. Tried ADC and using ProvXML with a file I made up, no luck in fixing any of the issues so far. Hopefully you have more luck than I do.
ALSO: Is there a way to extract the Telus XML file from \windows\_PROV_TLS_302_220_ENG.xml? If so maybe we can extract it from mine and then transfer it to the Argentina ROM and tell MFG to activate it.
Yes I have the same problem. Also found the battery is draining much faster. My phone seemed to get hot very quickly. Have reflashed back to Telus rom. Will have to live with USB tethering for now.
With the ROM for Personal on my telus phone I having the battery complete drain in 6 hours and the phone was very hot. Also noticed the phone connected to HSDPA (most place get H shown top of screen). Now back with Telus ROM I get 3G as sysmbol everywhere. Did anyone else have the same experince as well?

My hope was that ProvXML would work to fix MMS. It is interesting that it didn't work for you. That being said... voice command and 3G DO WORK for me. I activated them by simply adding the APN information under cellular settings. I still haven't gotten to trying ProvXML, been to busy with the holidays, but if it works for me, I'll report it.
As to the battery issue mentioned, I think I actually get better battery life with the battery lasting a day and a half instead of one day.

Maybe you can try ProvXML too. This is sort of my first time even trying anything like that so maybe I'm just doing it wrong. Hopefully it works (and if it does, please please please let me know... I bought a playbook and I was really hoping to tether it and my plan has 3 GB of data that I don't use... ).

Funny I bought the Playbook as well 249 (for 32 gig). I will look into the ProvXML method. Note in MFG settings under the Set Network Provider I no long have any xml files. I have tried find 302/220 for telus - no luck. Before I did the flash I use to have XML setting files for many carriers.

LOL. You too eh? I've still gotta write my giant complaint email to RIM. I ordered mine NOV 24 and it wasn't delivered until DEC 19... and they shipped it no signature required.....
Yea, the Argentinian ROM doesn't have any XML settings files for Canada. I found a few files for a Argentina carriers (MCC 722 I think) but definitely nothing in there for Canada.
Soooooo Close
Oh so very close now. So very very close, maybe someone can figure out what to change to make it all work.
Okay so I:
Reflashed back to original firmware (LG-E900hAT-02-V10b-302-220-OCT-07-2010+0_DZ)
Set the carrier in registry to ART-AR (so Zune serves up the Argentinian updates)
Let Zune update the phone up through 7740
Chevron and Interop Unlock
Install ProvXML
Followed and used drkfngthdragnlrd's instructions for the Omnia as best I can on an LG http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233612
Do NOT set ADC to enabled, for me it kills voice to text over 3G
I now have the Internet Sharing option in Settings. Turning it on it says there's no connection to share, so I fixed that by setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings\CellularConnectionName"=" " [String]
That error went away, now when I try to activate it goes "Connection not shared | There's a problem with the current settings". Read somewhere on here to set the carrier profile to someone else, then set it back. That didn't help so I'm stuck here now.
I feel like I'm soooooooo close, but I'm out of ideas for what to try now. Hopefully someone here knows what to do from here.
ADDED: Can someone with the Argentina ROM installed (sonus maybe?) dig thorugh the registry to see what the settings are? Maybe there is a mismatch between the settings I installed versus whats in the Argentina ROM that's specific to the e900h
What setting do you want to know?, i have a mexican Optimus but i flashed it with the Personal Argentinian rom so maybe I can help

Could you provide me with the PROV XML files for Telus (for you guys) and for AT&T-MCC:310 MNC:410 (for me)?
I am trying to firgure out if is is possible to either sideload or edit the current PROV XML files using the current tools at our disposal. Could you copy them out using Windows Phone Device Manager? They are located in the \Windows\ directory...
\windows\_PROV_TLS_302_220_ENG.xml
and probably
\windows\_PROV_ATT_310_410_ENG.xml
As to your request, I can provide anything you need, however... and this is a big however, unless things have changed since I've been on the Argentina ROM, the Telus ROM does not have the latest firmware and drivers that are necessary for Internet Sharing. This is probably why you are getting errors despite getting 7440 pushed. (i.e. when you updated using the Argentinian Personal ROM you got both a 7440 update and an LG firmware update to allow for Internet connection sharing.
Does anyone with access to the Claro on Puerto Rico ROM for the e900h know if the Nortm American carrier XML files are available on that particular ROM? Since PR is a territory of the United States, it is possible that the ROM contains the XML files for North American carriers. Please report back!

[Q] Unlock issue with data not working.

I have an LG G2 that was originally for T-Mobile. I unlocked it and put my father's sim card inside (ATT) and he can text/call without any problems, its his data (mobile network) that isnt working. Is there settings I need to change to get the data to work and if so where are they located and what information I need to put there.
Ive been looking for a while now and google isnt any help lol.
It is rooted, it has clean-rom installed (the latest one, I think that is 1.3 and in the setup I put T-Mobile as it is a T-Mobile phone). If I have to re-install the clean-rom to ATT settings will that do it? If not will stock firmware make it work?
Hope to hear from you guys soon! My dad want to use this phone lol. THanks again!
In the settings under Network I just noticed it says under Mobile network state "Disconnected".
Nevermind sorry! I was able to find the APN settings finally and was able to find ATT apn codes.
Thanks again, please close

That is the EXACT same story with my sister's phone I did for her. I spent hours on the phone with ATT after I unlocked it and they put in the code but still no luck. Any suggestions? Thank you!

[Q] Carrier specific GS4 kitkat offical roms

Hi, I had unrooted my i9505 and updated to kitkat (02 version). I am actually on the Tesco network and I thought that is what Tesco used. The rom seems fine, along with the network in general but I cannot use any mobile data networks. Does anyone know if this is because of the wrong rom or could this be a different error?
I have searched the forum and internet for a few hours but found nothing related to Tesco GS4 roms! : I used the 02 4.3 one from here and then update via keys to 4.4.2 -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
Thanks!
Tesco and o2 share the same network, but they probably have different access point settings. if you go to the tescomobile website or call support they should be able to send you some settings to ensure you have the right APN?
Are you connected to TESCO (it says TESCO in the carrier label when you pull down notifications?) Just also check that in "settings/more networks/mobile networks/access point names" that it relates to tesco and not to o2?

Started to work through these settings, forgot to try the APN. In a little bit of a pickle at the moment as I tried to flash an unbranded rom via odin and now cant boot the phone..Need to fix with kies it says but its not appearing. Think the APN was the problem when the phone (hopefully) starts working again.
Thanks!
Fingers Crossed. You should be able to use the unbranded ROM though. The only difference should be the preinstalled apps and maybe some backgrounds/branding on the boot logo etc?

Global Roaming APN's default settings

Hi guys, just a quick question. I just started rooting my G935U QD2 and got up to step #16 "For Sprint MMS/DATA fix go to:" from jtash01's guide but instead of deleting Wholesale OTA APN, I deleted Global Roaming by accident. I have a feeling that I can't just edit Wholesale OTA to be APN2 LTE Internet because Global Roaming's settings are probably a bit different. I know I made a huge nooby error and I'd really be thankful if anyone had the default Global Roaming settings so I can add it in or if theres another method to fix this. Any help is appreciated!

Just hit reset to default and it should bring back the other APN.
