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
Add apns?

You are supposed to turn the phone off, insert the new Sim, turn the phone on and go to settings, more, system update and click UICC Unlock

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?

I found an apk to sideload but it crashes. I think the apn issue is the problem but havent found a workaround yet. Any ideas for other apps that might work.

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.
Waiting for an update to fix Sprints proprietary obsessions...
Hi,
I want to activate mobile data on my Nexus 4. I went "Settings"->"Wireless &networks"->Mobile Networks and selected an APN. Data is enabled in the menu as well. Still, when I enter Chrome i get "You are offline' message. Also, no other apps have data. Is there something I am doing wrong?
Thanks.
p.S. I have P.A.C Rom 23.0.0

Did you reboot the phone after saving the new APN, sometimes it needs a restart to set itself. Also check and make sure you entered all teh APN settings in correctly.

I don't use custom ROM's any more as I'm happy with vanilla android and have never had a problem with it. Go into the thread for the ROM you are suing and search to see if anyone else has the same issue. Could be a conflict with the kernel you're using maybe.
I'd be willing to bet your APN is not correct. Where are you located and what carrier are you with? I just went through the same issue with my wife's phone on ATT&T Straight Talk service, it was a PITA to get data.

Hi There,
I have rooted verizon S5 with GV.
Just switched to use Hangout instead of GV for sms. SMSs are working fine, however, MMSs are not working. I can send, but can't receive. I was hoping to change APN, unfortunately, when I change APN in hangout, it is not get saved (except for if I change the port only) and I don't have an option to change APN in the phone settings. Create a new APN (a plus sign) is greyed out.
Please advise...

Huhmm, it seems the firmware has blocked the ability to edit or change the APN.
You may need to flash another unbrand firmware to bypass it.

Yeah, I've contacted both Verizon and Samsung and Samsung rep told me that they blocked the ability to change APN. The setting that I have now is the default one and can be changed by Samsung (or custom ROM).
Trying to get in touch with Google if they have plans to override firmware APN since they have APN configuration option in hangouts.

Regarding firmware: I feel a little skeptical about unbranded firmware. I'll have to remove all my configurations and it will void the warranty. Besides, I like Samsung dialer. In any case, what unbranded firmware would you recommend?

1- apn-conf.xml is a file used for auto configuration at the initial step. It will NOT actually affect your current APN settings.
2- Typically you should not manually modify the MCC-MNC parameter. If you want to do so, you need enter the proper value. To obtain the right MCC-MNC value for your network, install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app, scroll down to the MISC INFO section and see "Mobile Network Code" info.

Before Starting Make Sure You Have A Copy Of Your Internet Settings. (Everything in APN Settings)
Go to the Data Menu by entering ##DATA#
Select the APN Settings & Select Edit (Enter MSL)
Tap Each APN Separately (Select Edit & Enter MSL) & DELETE APNs (By Selecting The 3 Dots To The Right)
**You won't be able to delete ota apn but that's fine.
**Now you should have no internet!!!
Go To Regular Settings Then Select (More, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names) & Add APN Manually. **Adding "default,mms,supl,dun" under APN TYPE
**Put in all the correct settings the first time before saving APN. YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GO BACK & EDIT APN AFTER IT'S SAVE. (The only way to correct the APN once saving it is to start at step one. Yes starting all over.)
Once You Put The Correct APN Settings In & Save It, LTE or DATA Should Show Up.
TRY TETHERING!!! OH IT WORKS.....?

i was finally able to get the APN option to show up.
Here is what i did ..
Called sprint and asked to get my Phone UICC unlocked. I explained needed it to be able to use my phone abroad with other carries. (I have business trip in two weeks.)
This request takes two to three business days to get this through their system and your account has to be in good standing.
Then today i did ##72786# which resets provisioning parameters... Now the APN menu is available.
Now that the settings are available to me. I did try your method posetd but got no LTE data after all was said and done.
So i do have a few questions for you if you can still assist.
1. Where/did you get the full APN settings from ..on my phone it will not display it.(mms address ip etc..)
2. on my phone for LTE its using the IMS APN can you share your IMS APN settings with me?
much thanks once again.

After I got my ls993 unlocked from sprint, i inserted a metro pcs sim and everything worked { voice, sms and data}. After a couple minutes and i decided to debrand it.
after that, some features were removed which i dont really care. but now....i dont options to get to add apn / its all greyed out! i dont also have the Service or MSL Code. All I need is to add an APN! Can anyone help?

The problem is that I can't add an apn because it is grayed out!
@marshallcodex - Have you tried contacting the community.sprint.com forum to see if they can provide us with more details or steps to add APN?
I just received a refurbished LS993 and applied the latest security update or patch released. Dialing the code to see the hidden menu also only provided the options you shared in your screen capture.
I am behind the curve because I am not eligible to receive the MSL code yet (the LS993 isn't listed as a DSU/UICC Unlockable from Sprint's unlock site). I need to either activate the phone with a new plan for 50 days or have a family/friend activate and use the phone for 50 days then request for the MSL code. Correct me if I'm wrong and I don't have to do it that way.
Anyhow good luck, hopefully you can find your answers and lead the way for us other LS993 owners.

The only possible way to unlock the apn section is to activate a new service with them....then the phone will be re-provisioned with all necessary stuff for the phone to work well.....i suggest we have to use their service [the $45 prepaid plan]...then cancel the service after a 3 or 4 days.....then get back to our normal carrier. I have my MSL but cant add apn still
If u already hav a sprint sim...just activate the $45 plan which will $50 [taxes included] the ready to go

Dial 5689#*993# ; go to NAOT + NAO Test + NAO CARRIER (Select NONE).
Check if you can add/edit/remove APNs with the app.
