Update prl.. - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys.. I have a freedompop g2 (ls980) I'm not quite sure what they programmed with but some kind of custom rom for their service?
I had this phone working on ringplus but then they booted me/canceled me :angel:
But when I popped this phone on my other ring+ account.. it didn't exactly instantly come up.. I had to program the msn/phone number manually.. and then I got voice service.. but past that.. the 3G/LTE just won't work.. the phone is constantly caught in this mode

}
So I'm not sure what the problem is.. as I see it
it could be
1. software?
2. ringplus?
when I dial the programming code ##775# it crashes.. (hitting activate this device also causes a crash) I also see this problem is for others on ring+ but this phone used to work perfectly before ring+ kicked me off a certain account.
I am rooted have twrp on there.. and have put on this mod and taken it back off.. and I do have it on the wifi.. there is a myth or something that the prl can be programmed by wifi?? but doesn't work in my case.

PRL is built in by different operators, in this case, Its a Sprint service. It won't work if you're not using Sprint I think. 3G and LTE won't work because of different CDMA bands/frequencies.

all I can tell you is I got 1x/cdma working.. I wonder if I can dump my lte sim into another sprint phone and expect it to work?

ahh unresolved.. unresolved..
gonna go to used phone store.. and test my ring+ sim's I get to see if they get data.

Straight talk MMS issue

I know this question has been asked and answered several times but I swear I have tried everything and still no luck. I talked to ST support but they are no help.
I have a nexus 4 and I just moved to straight talk and ordered an activation kit directory though them. I am up and running but cannot receive MMS.
Thanks for your suggestions and help!

Well I bought the activation kit directly though Straight Talk. Sim says Trac on it.
Att sims are blue.
Tmoble sims are pink.
You're gonna need to tweak your APN settings.
Here's my tmoble APN.

[Q] Sim Card Removed Error apparently after updating to 4.4.4

Hello,
Since I've updated my nexus 4 to 4.4.4, I'm having this issue too frequently. After every 4-5 hours I get this error (image below) When this error arises, all my phone signals would go down and I need to restart my phone at least twice to get back the signals ! Can anyone help me solving out this issue ? is it related to hardware or software the new update ?

Pretty unlikely to be software, try another SIM in your phone, if it works fine ask your network for a replacement SIM. If it doesn't it could be your SIM reader is damaged.

Was just wondering why it starts working once I restart the phone ! If there was some hardware related issue, it shouldn't be working.?

Mine also happens after battery drops certain level like 40% and in few min phone switch off and battery dies.
After restart you see same battery level or reduce drastically?

[Q] Need some major help

Okay so im still sort of new to this whole forum and so far I've talked to some great people who have helped me understand how to root, and theme haha thanks.
But this is a serious matter. My mother has Verizon wireless their tech support can't figure out whats going on with her phone and shes getting death threats and lawsuits.
She has switched out her phone 2 times, changed her number twice and it still sends out messages of spam, like to random numbers, Pretty much she's spoof'd. I have looked at her phone and I've yet to see any strange apps, I've ran scans, she doesn't even have an SD card anymore. While she was transitioning to a new phone tho, they gave her a loaner phone, before she got out of the store she had 13 new messages sent out to random people.
I'm stumped, Verizon is stumped my moms freaking out etc.
I have also updated her phone to 5.0 here are the screen shots and the actual model of the device.

Unable to establish a Data Connection LTE: ESM - x EMM - 15

Hello, if this is in the wrong section please have a moderator move it, as I am unsure if it should be here or in the Tmobile section.
I have a Sprint Galaxy S7 that I have had SIM unlocked. I have my T-Mobile SIM installed and have data and voice. I am coming from a T-Mobile Note 4 which was working perfectly.
Every now and then(sometimes twice a day) I get loss of signal and sometimes I get this error message that pops up when it happens. usually turning airplane mode on and off will solve it, but sometimes it requires a reboot.
When it happens my signal bar goes blank, I have no data and cannot send or recieve phone calls or Text messages. It is very annoying and I cannot seem to find the correct combination of Mobile Network settings.
I have also noticed slow LTE download speeds and almost non existent upload speeds. Sometimes it says 3G instead of LTE next to the signal.
I live in Chicago and have attached some pics of my settings. If any more pics are needed just let me know. It is so frustrating I am thinking about just trading this phone into tmobile for their version of the phone to avoid all this hassle, but would rather not get ripped off. They say the trade in value is only like $400, but they charge $650 for their GS7, so yea.
Is there a solution to this?

Traded the sprint s7 into tmobile for their version, less hassle. Now I get wifi calling, tethering, and faster lte data without drops.

Class 0 Message/Flash SMS

Recently my carrier has decided to push Class 0 Messages (aka Flash SMS) after the disconnection from any call. I used to be able to block those popups by blocking the number it came from in Google Messenger. Now, the blocking doesn't work.
Has anyone had Class 0 Message popups that you've managed to block? I've Googled for hours and tried quite a few apps (Xposed and non-Xposed) but they fail to work.
Here's a screen cap to show what I'm talking about

Oh yeah, that would be helpful. I doubt anyone heard of it though, it's called Life Wireless (listed as Telrite/Pure Talk on Google Play). It's from the Lifeline government program where a disabled person can get free or reduced price cell phone service. They piggy-back off of AT&T's network.
I emailed them and they said I would have to call customer service. I have my doubts they could help me, but I'll try calling them anyway.
Google really needs to implement an API for dealing with Class 0 Messages.
