[Help] LS997 rooted, DevDigitel rom not getting any service - LG V20 Questions & Answers

Hi,
Hopefully this is the right place to post, as this account is too new to post in the dev thread.
For the past few days i have been on the latest rom from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-ls997-stock-debloated-su-goodies-t3531923 (version 4.0HHH) but i cant get any service, be it 3g or 4g (Sprint, LS997). I can text and make calls, however. I've tried everything i can think of and have been searching frantically for help. A list of things i have done so far, to no avail:
wipe data and reinstall rom
update prl
change apn
update profile through sprint zone app
use shortcut master to try to change apn
flash different roms, such as the one found in the dirty santa thread, none of which work
activating my phone by dialing ##873283# - after a while it said my phone was activated, restarted, but then no service
I have been using an app to check up on which networks i'm connected to, and it always says eHRPD. I don't think the problem is that there are no towers in range, because my family members all have 4g lte.
At this point i'm really not sure what else i can do, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
edit - for a bit more info, when i go into settings and try to change the apn all the options are grayed out. the options are: internet, ota, pam, and vowifi, with internet being the only one with a selection circle next to it. thats why i used shortcut master, which was suggested in the devdigitel thread. when i access the apn settings through there, it has 3g_apn, internet, pam, ota, vowifi and a bunch of dummies. i can select 3g_apn or internet, but i dont think either of them make a difference. when i try to make new apns they dont save and i cant select them.
edit 2 - I went back and flashed the sprint stock rom from the dirty santa thread (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224409782) and then reset the network by dialing ##72786#, then activated it again by dialing ##873283#, and after a prl update and profile update (while connected to wifi) i get 3G on and off and i had 4g lte (for the first time in weeks!) today out in the city. I think the coverage by my house just sucks, but its very frustrating nonetheless. still doesnt seem like a permanent fix, because 3g is very spotty and 4g only lasted for a little bit

rowing the same boat
i am stuck in a similar rut myself. have you had any luck with the problem, OP?
after a successful root/unlock of bootloader and running the stock rooted rom for a few days, I decided to take the plunge and install a custom rom, after my desire for V4A got the best of me. having had problems with modem signal quality in the past, I am out of habit continually checking my signal level. Before flashing the custom ROM, my signal was around -70 to -77 db .. immediately after clean flash of custom ROM my signal level dropped to -117 and lower. when I do see something show up, it is a 3g icon, and then only for a faint second or less. have yet to see the 'LTE' icon show.
I have tried ##72786#, ##873283#, updating prl/profile. deleted via fastboot : system, fota, misc. reboots, reflashes dirty and clean.
still, i yield a totally undesirable (read: not there at all) signal. i have been using Samsung telephones since the Transformer days (pre OG galaxy) and in a situation like this, one would typically have a modem file to flash via 0din. Is there an equivalent to this for LG telephones? I admit my noobishness with the way of doing things with LG, but i am not unfamiliar with adb/fastboot/0din.
Could myself and OP somehow inadvertantly disable a few bands on the modem? is this repairable?
i realize its anecdotal, but still, my signal took a header immediately after flash of the new ROM (i am hesitant to name it, in case someone interprets it as casting shade at another. ) Could this be the reason? Am i missing something really friggin stupid?

Have you found a fix? I'm in the exact same boat.

Hi there!
I had a similar issue with my LS997 as well - I went through all the troubleshooting with sprint, did everything that you've done including installing the stock rom. I was never able to fix it on my own - I had to go to the sprint repair center that was in town, and they used LGup to restore my phone to factory.
The issue that I was having, was that I had data, but couldn't place calls or send texts. When I tried to place a call, it would tell me that my phone was not activated. Texts just wouldn't send. I spent the better part of two days scouring everything that I could find on the issue, and couldn't come up with a solution. It repeated the issue on every rom, every update, everything. This is all that worked for me.
I've decided to keep my phone on stock until we can get our hands on LGup and a stock kdz, since that is what will resolve that particular issue.

Did you come clean and tell them it was rooted? I may have to go in the store today and do this. The phone is almost useless at this point since I can't receive/send calls or texts.

I did come clean, but I carry the nice 13 dollar a month insurance on it. Also been a customer for near 4 years so that helps as well - I didn't tell the rep that I was talking too, I told the tech that was working on my phone. It's my experience that reps care, techs do not. Especially if it's that easy to fix, roughly 15 minutes or so.

Sorry to hear you guys are having issues.
It seems a small hanful of users are experiencing some service issues
Have you tried to do ##brand#
And let it re-activate that way?
I never activated my test device prior to dirty santa and have no idea how it acted before root.
But after root ive been 100% Lte or 3g 1x depending on area. I did have issues that after any rom flash i do need to do a profile update or a ##update# to return service
To be honest. Lte isnt provisioned by the device at all. Its only provisioned by the lte sim card.
If you ##data# and hit view is your ptn and msid present?
If not this is why texts wont work
For data. Ive found you can use the shortcut master and access all the bands for our handests without the msl.. I can get the msl for those who dont have but its not needed for this process.
You use the shortcut master lite app from playstore.. Then go to search and search mobile network settings. Or lte.
Make sure its set to cdma/lte
As well have you confirmed under your settings you have a network set to lte/cdma?
This seems to get unchecked sometimes..

Ill be busy tonight but most nights im willing to txt call or video and help with q/a and issues.

I'll give what you suggested a try and report back.

I tried ##brand# and it cleared some settings and rebooted but I still have no network. I did ##data# and went through all the settings and neither ptn or msid are present. Phone is set to CDMA on device settings.
I used Shortcut Master (Lite) and could not find a setting to select CDMA after searching for lte. No search results when I searched for mobile network settings.
To add some information, I live in a very rural area where my phone is always roaming. Today I was in an area where I get LTE so I wiped my phone, flashed the LS997 stock rom and did ##873283#. This enabled data and I got LTE but still no text or voice. I wiped my phone again and flashed your rom, went through the same process and got the exact same results.

need to set to cdma / lte
pm me or hangouts.
we need to add some settings, or contact sprint care, ask for your msl, and get your msid, you can manually activate it.

Check in about phone under phone number and min ....I lost both and am going to have to get sprint to flash my phone back to stock also

im writing a fix now guys, we mamanged to get a work around to manual program your devices.
for some awful reason sprint hid the EDIT option to manually program our devices? wtf..
well we managed to do it a diff way. im making a post now to walk everyone who needs to get their phones active and talk/text/3g back.

[Q] EVO> Boost 3G EVDO evdo and still no internet?

Hey people, new here, just finished getting my EVO 4g on boost. however i have no data. ##debug# says im on cdma with EVDO rev a also 3g icon is up with dancing arrows. when i hit internet and try to goto a site it times out after a min with dreaded page not found.
I have poured thru the extensive toots on this site with no avail, and spent atleast a 3 days non stop trying to get this to work. the misses is real upset with me and threatening all types of boycotts because of my "neglect" so any help dealing with this would be appreciated.
Im assuming this is some sort of authentication failure but again when i check debug mode under EVDO ( an/aaa authentication) i get Authenticated. im stumped at this and cant find a situation quite like this on any post in any forum.
what i have:
Ive got HTC EVO 4G non rooted with Incognito as don'. incognito was activated before the surgery. albeit very briefly.
3g icon with arrows. CDMA EVDO REVa listed under status
What i dont have:
Internet...1xRR or 3g
called up boost ATS ( by the way to skip thru the endless automated messages press "88" as the dude asks if you want spanish, you will be connected immediately...then ask for advance tech support...dont waste ur time with the first person). anyway they told me the phone would need 24-72 hrs to provision, i then told them its was going on 4 days , they then told me there was a delay with there provisioning servers because of an outage in my area. could this be true since my other boost phones work fine?
so to recap my issue is getting 3g to work...since not even 1x works at the moment.
Update you're profile
If that doesn't work ##33284# go down to data what does it say 1xrtt or evdo A , if it says evdo rev A, and you did an update profile already something mis inputted in qpst

It says Evdo Rev A . I forgot to do the update , but I just did it now, with same results. still says Evdo...
Dont know if this explains things, but I turned off the EVO and removed the battery, Turned on the incognito, and tried to access the web, and a web page comes up saying that I havnt payed the bill... and gives me options to do so...!!! WTF? the 50 dollars was added 4 days ago when i activated the phone lol... any thoughts on this and if it could be whats causing the EVO to time out?
Im going to call boost now to see whats up with that web page on the incognito. will follow up
Prepaid carriers have terrible data transfer speeds without an excellent signal.
OK got it working.
didnt realize the cdma workshop wasnt writting nv files. well it was but it seams you cant load the individual 466, 465, 1192, 1194 without errors because the format is wrong. I didnt catch the error because its the error message looks the same as successful message. so what I did was Read the entire nv file 0000-1174 i believe and deleted the 465, 466, 1192,1194 and copied and pasted them back in from the saved donor nv's. also make sure it successfully wrote NAI's ... the [email protected]..... as well as your boost NAI. mine was successfully written but reverted back upon restarting the phone and failed profile updates. also on my evo in order to connect to modem i had to enable tethering and when thats done i would get an error saying that I am not authorized to to use sprint hotspot and it would automatically disable all data... so what i did was turn on the handset and enable airplane mode whenever i had the phone plugged in to the pc. anyways once i had the correct nv files written i restarted phone waited for handsfree...cancelled PRL update...waited for phone to show 3g...restarted phone, i then skips hands free activation and goes into PRL update, allow it to continue and then viola it worked...
getting 900-1400 kbps down and around 300kbps up with about 3 bars
voicemail notification doesnt work like it used to on sprint but i get texts and what not...
too bad it so expensive to purchase DFS cdma tools. the whole process could be completed with no need for multiple programs.
do you have any update on the voicemail notification ?
---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------
also are you sure the NVM Items 1193 and 1194 are correct... in my NV i do have 465 and 466 but not the other 2
thx
this helped me

Sprint LG G2 LS980 on simple mobile, Thank You!!

First off, I would like to THANK all the smart M'Fers on this forum that help lead the way!! I found a TON of useful info and files that saved my brick on more than 1 occasion.
I now have my Sprint LG G2 LS980 on the simple mobile network (US) with 3g data, working! Lay to rest the myth the G2 LS980 cannot be opened to US carriers!!
It really ended up being a very easy process, even though it took alot of denial and error to get here! I started from a stock ZV7, I rooted it, I connected wifi, then d/l'd from the play store, rom toolbox, telinfo, offline sim apn database. I edited the build.prop as suggested all over these forums <--(this is the sim unlock), reboot, make sure to change build.prop back as instructed to stop ui crashes,you should now notice the sim with a red x on it is gone, then I used offline apn to bring up android apn settings, entered my APN and saved, then used telinfo to set the band to lte/gsm/wcdma, thats it, I am still testing it out but working very well so far, only thing I noticed is wifi crashes now when I try to go in and look for a network but can use the hot button at the top in the slide bar to toggle it on/off, also you must dial a 1 before the number to make a call or you will get a crash. Well so far this is great progress! Again I would like to THANK the forums as a whole, a great collection of info here and it really came in handy for me....THANKS!!
Dont' Feel Shy to give credit where it is due, if you or you know someone who had contributing information to this work around, please stand up and take a bow!!
I only am showing my collection of methods/tools, I chose. Feel free to choose whatever will work for you, let us know if you have success and what carrier you "moved" to from sprint

I think this is the wrong section for the thread, but I am curious of your speedtest speeds on simple as I am with solavei a t-mobile mvno
Sent from my unknown using Tapatalk
I get at best D/L 3Mbps but average around 2.5Mbps consistently, U/L 2Mbps but average 1.5Mbps and you? I only have managed to get 3G enabled on this phone.
wanted to note a couple of things, first one is a pain but liveable for now, when the phone is rebooted it wants to resort to the cdma sprint service, this could be because there is still an active line on this phone for another couple weeks, so we will see. The second thing is I have gained excellent performance gains over 3g by going into the data menu, look up dialer codes, and setting the mmsc to simple settings, I am getting over 3Mbps on the regular and upwards of 7 Mbps on my D/L, no real improvement on the U/L though.
*update 4/1, Sprint line now disconnected and also used telinfo to switch service from GSM/LTE/WCDMA to GSM(auto PRL) and now the phone settings hold through reboots!

I cannot get LTE to any APN work right with any custom ROM on the Moto G4 Play. :(

I have the Moto G4 Play (XT1607) (Harpia) and I have decided to flash LineageOS (lineage-14.1-20170131-nightly-harpia-signed.zip) on it using TWRP v3.0.2 r5. After getting it installed I noticed that it was not connecting to my 4g LTE Internet (I have Ting). So I figured I needed to make some changes to the APN settings. So I go to Settings>... More> Cellular Networks and the moment I click on "Cellular networks" I get an error message saying "com.android.phone has stopped". After reflashing and trying again a few times with the same result, I tried using a completely different ROM. AOKP. (aokp_harpia_nougat_nightly_2017-01-31.zip) and I ran into the same exact problem I was having with LineageOS.
I then tried to see if I could force my way into the APN configuration using an app called "Change APN". This worked, but now I see the message "Access Point Name settings are not available for this user". I decided to ignore this and click on the + to create a new APN. After filling the correct info out for Ting APN, I click on "Save"... and it doesn't save at all.
I decided to revert to the stock rom, and everything works perfectly fine with the stock rom. 4G LTE on Ting works fine. Whenever I try using a custom ROM of any kind, I run into the problem I described above. I don't know if I am forgetting to do something, or completely doing something wrong. I could use some help with this guys.
Isn't Ting a Sprint service? I didn't think CDMA-based networks had APN settings to configure. Verizon and US Cellular have always used *22XXX for programming, as far as I can remember.

Yes. Ting is a Sprint service. Well either way LTE isn't working and the 3G keeps randomly turning on and off whenever I use a custom ROM. However, when I use Stock firmware, everything works perfectly fine. I am unsure what is causing the issue.
It seems nearly all custom ROMs at this point are having data connectivity issues. I'm trying to find a nandroid of the original xt1607 rom so I can just go back until its all sorted out.

With Ting you can choose to use Sprint or T-Mobile. I am using the T-Mobile side of Ting and you do need to add Ting's APN settings for it to work. I am still on factory ROM but watching closely to see what others are experiencing with custom ROMs.

I haven't noticed any issue with my GSM ting service on lineage. I get LTE and the WiFi/LTE handoff seems to work. I don't install many apps and don't let them run in the background, so perhaps there's a conflict between them that's shutting down LTE service. This is just a guess.
Anyone have any information pertaining to this subject? I've searched hours on hours to no avail. I run U.S. Cellular and on the newest RR-5.8.1-OMS after I go to Settings>More>Cellular Networks>Crash. Every time. Resets my radio and picks right back up again. Everything works until I'm in my house, then I'm roaming and there's no way to manage in settings because of the crash.
I looked around in the file system and in /data/data/com.android.phone/ there is no files, no .db files or anything. I don't know of there's supposed to be either. But like OP stated, stock rom is flawless.
Would I be and to copy com.android.phone from stock and restore after flashing? I don't know what to do but this is with every single custom ROM out right now on every release. Data and everything works fine as far as I can tell but just no way to configure the settings. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Just out of curiosity, have you tried the *22XXX thing yet?
EDIT: Just so we're clear, with you all who have CDMA phones, when you go into "IMEI Information," it does show both an IMEI and an ICCID, right? Because if not, I think I figured out why your LTE isn't working.
I tried, I tried dialing *22999 (guessing that the x stood for the 9 button in T9 language) and pressed the make a call button. Am I wrong about the "XXX" part? Because I did try that when I seen it previously in the thread earlier but had the same thoughts.
So to make that novel a shorter version, what exactly should I dial?

It depends on the carrier and the model of the phone. For most Tracfones, it's *22890. For US Cellular, I've seen it as *228 and *22894. You may have to call your carrier and ask what their phone programming code is.
Aaah ok I got you now. Yes I've tried that on nearly every ROM. Matter of fact I just noticed I posted a little off topic almost, but I'm here for the relevance of com.android.phone crashing EVERY SINGLE TIME I try to open Cellular Networks. The only ROM I will say it doesn't force close on is the Slim Nougat ROM, but I don't run that because instead of Cellular Networks settings making com.android.phone crash its when you place a call and then it force closes the UI part of the call but still carries the call through. I forgot to mention that by the way, whatever it is in Slim that is the making the different reason for force closing com.android.phone could probably be a pretty easy red flag for someone better equipped for this Lind of troubleshooting than myself!
Thank you for the suggestion though on the *22(8 in my case)

After I posted that, I went back to try and see if Lineage was able to pick up my phone's MEID (even though I use a GSM SIM, the MEID is still tied to the phone hardware). For some reason, Lineage is not reading it, and I think all of your problems are being attributed to that fact.
The way CDMA phones work (and god, do I hate this), is your 2G/3G network is tied to the phone MEID, while the LTE SIM is data only. The OS needs to read both the 14-digit MEID (sometimes shows as a 15 digit IMEI where last digit is 0) as well as the 20 digit ICCID (SIM Number). A phone may also use the SIM number itself as an IMEI (BYOP SIMs do this) by dropping the first five digits of the 20 digit SIM number.
If you phone is showing only one 15 digit number in the system settings, then it's either the MEID OR the SIM, not both. So either you have calling and no LTE, or LTE and no calling. You can't program APN settings because the phone has no idea what ID number to tie APN settings to. This is actually a rather serious conundrum.
Ok ok, makes sense. I checked my Status info, every ROM has dual SIM capability by the way so I don't know if that would effect anything for xt-1607, but I looked at SIM slot 1 info and it reads my MEID correctly with 14 digits. I couldn't find anything about ICCID. My head pounding question here though, why in the hell (pardon the language) is everything flawless on stock, but on every ROM this problem occurs? Here's my next killer, everything works like it should for me, LTE, 3G, Calls, SMS/MMS, just can't change any of the settings due to a force close, AND I put my friends Straight Talk SIM in and it fired right up with no force close when going to change Network settings...?!

I think you just answered your own question. As stated in PCMag back in 2015, "Nobody makes a Dual-Sim phone compatible with Sprint or Verizon." It legitimately believes your MEID is a GSM-based IMEI, and is attempting to cross the streams, so to speak. And the only way your friend's StraightTalk SIM would work is if it was piggybacking off ATT or TMo's networks (the MEID would have been paired to the other phone causing a mismatch).
If you look at the stock ROM for this phone, you will see a BUNCH of system apps for programming Sprint and Verizon network information. They never made it into the custom ROMs we're using. FWIW, here's my thoughts on the matter. Someone needs to go back and make a single-SIM variant of these ROMs, as well as a flashable ZIP containing the necessary APKs for Android to detect the necessary information correctly. And if that doesn't happen, then everyone who bought an XT-1607 has to ditch their carrier and move to a GSM carrier.
That makes complete and total sense! Because I wasn't thinking this while time of it but I was in Oklahoma at the time where the main towers are AT&T, matter of fact Sprint and U.S. Cellular lose almost all signal right when you hit the county line where I was at. Verizon only gets signal because it's Verizon, lol. Reason I say that is because I was wondering why this whole time I has full signal with LTE coverage and completely list everything when I went hone, because where I live is complete opposite, there is hardly any GSM coverage, we don't even have an AT&T store, just Verizon, Sprint, USC.
So, with that being figured out, my laptop just recently kicked the bucket on me so I'm out for the most part, I do have a trick to swap files in and out of a compressed archive without extracting it in any way! But, it takes a while, not too much longer I guess but nowvi just remembered everything is pretty much .dat files so nevermind that.
Not that this thread isn't the most popular, but where would be the best place to take this request too to get the most attention from it? I mean if I had to go back to stock, so be it, but I'm a little spoiled to the custom life. Lol.

IIRC, there is a Verizon thread with 80ish replies, but I think a developer like Squid might need to be made aware of this, so I might copy this into the Lineage thread.
A bit of good news. While reflashing all the time that were force closing when opening cellular networks, I looked in /data/data/com.android.phone/ and was looking, now remember to go back to that directory after I say all this, I found that directory was empty, on all of the Roms. Was curious so I flashed back to stock. Went to the same directory, BOOM! com.android.phone was not empty, in that folder I found 2 folders that were now populated with in:
1: (/files/ )I now had a file named carrierconfig-com.android.carrierconfig- (and after the dash was my ICCID number) so for this directory I need /data/data/com.android.phone/files/carrierconfig-com.android.carrierconfig**ICCID** (replace **ICCID** my ICCID number)
2: then there was this /data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs/_has_set_default_values.xml
and
phone/shared_prefs/com.android.phone_preferences.xml
These files are missing on all the Roms, I know this doesn't since everything, but I know for almost a fact it's a good chunk of something that needs to be available. Can I copy these files and move them into place, and set permissions how they were? I ran out of time tonight, and am busy all week so this is mainly for reference I guess. More research told me these files can be edited to change what is available to configure in cellular network settings like option to change from 2G, 3G, LTE, APN, and so on. Sorry for the mess, that's all I have for right now.

That is definitely a major find! My only concern is even if you do that, there might be further missing components that would cause Dialer to crash on startup or some other wacky side effect. However, if you can make it work, then it's possible the proper APN settings will load by default and you'll no longer need to change them.
If you can, go into the System Apps on the stock ROM and look for any APKs branded by/with Sprint, VZW or USCellular, or anything CDMA related. They might be necessary for reading the SIM's ICCID.
That's what I was thinking too, and sadly for me I don't really know EVERYTHING to look for so it'll be mostly out of trial and error for me to figure it out. I wish they didn't compress Roms into .dat so I could use a root explorer to swap between tabs rather than copy, flash the rom, paste files and then if that didn't work start all over on restoring stock, so on and so forth. I miss my laptop. =(
Updates?
Has anyone looked into this further? I'm experiencing the same problem with the latest LineageOS nightly. US Cellular Prepaid with an XT1607.
I noticed that in my case i had to skip the Insert Sim thing on 1st boot. It never did whatever it wanted to there. (Maybe because I have no signal or weak roaming where I live?)
I'm seriously considering trying it from an area that I have good service in..

(Verizon VS995) can't get 4G data and Text/Calling to work in the same network mode.

I've tried searching on this and couldn't really find any answers. So I have a rooted VS995 (Verizon) and I have to change my network mode in order to get 4G data, but can not receive calls or texts.
[Settings > Mobile networks > System Select > Network Mode]
Here are the results I get.
Global - I get 3G data and I can call and text
LTE/CDMA - I get 3G data and I can call and text
LTE/GSM/UMTS - I get 4G LTE data, but can NOT send or receive calls and texts. Incoming calls go straight to voicemail, calls out fail with a no network detected and texts just say failed to send.
I should add that this all started a few weeks ago when I was flashing a few different roms one day to see which one I liked. My phone worked normally before I flashed a rom (can't remember which one) and now it doesn't matter which rom I flash, I still get this issue. I've been dealing with this for weeks and it's gotten really annoying.
I am DirtySanta Rooted, I have tried installing several different kernels and several different roms with no success. Is there something I am missing? Is there a Radio file or something that I need to flash?
I am even contemplating unrooting, going back to stock and then attempting to re-root, but I fear that I might have to flash a newer OEM that will disable the root method.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: It's late, I'm frustrated and I just realized that this thread is probably supposed to be in Questions and Answers section. If a moderator could move it, that would be great.

Sorry for the late response, I was away this weekend.
I ended up flashing just about every rom and kernel I could find and now somehow it seems that it is now working as intended.
Lucky. I still have the same problem, been flashing since I got this phone and not a single one can I get it to stick with service after boot.

x below lte signal and not internet connection help!

Hello so as stated above for some reason i have an x below my signal bar but it still says lte but not connection, ive tried the following, remove sim and put it back in (both with the phone off and on), checked my apns which i never had to mess with before (which i didnt have this issue yesterday just saw it when i got to work which i usually have lte signal), turn on and off airplane mode, turn off and on mobile data, ive tried every fix i could think of so far with none of them working.. my cell service is been paid and i checked my straight talk account to make sure, but now comes the weird part when im connected to wifi and pull down the quick toggles it shows no x under the lte (see screenshot below) does anyone know how to fix this issue i rely on my lte data for directions and gps at work.
Phone info:
Android 8.1 beta opp5 rooted
Thanks to anyone that can help!
I am having this same issue as of this morning, and I am on the Straighttalk AT&T network. I wonder if they just updated their APN network and our APN settings need to be updated too? If so, I'm not sure what settings to use.. using the straight talk website and selecting "Android 4.0" (the newest version listed), it shows the settings I'm currently using. Anyone else having/resolved this issue?

Borrow a (different carrier) SIM from a friend to see if it is a network issue. If the LTE works on that SIM, go to ST and have them provision another SIM for you (free). If the LTE still doesn't work, back your phone up, wipe it, flash a full image.

I called STW tech support, and they told me I had the wrong APN... I updated my APN settings (but really it was nothing other than changing the ID, so I don't think it had any real effect) and still had no data. After checking downdetector.com, it appears there is a widescale data outage with straight talk (or more specifically, AT&T). One of the commenters stated the following:
"I can confirm the issue is DNS. If you have the ability to changes the DNS on your phone, you can restore service. If you have Android + Root, I used DNS Override successfully. Just set DNS Servers to Google's"
I just used DNS Override ($2 app) to set my DNS servers to Google's and that resolved my issue. Hope that helps. If you don't want to spend $2, there are some free apps that also will change the DNS servers for you, and there are other methods detailed here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...ide-how-to-change-dns-android-device-t3273769
Update: earlier that day ot seemed to resolve itself while i was driving at work amd got to my destination which was about an hour away and once i looked at my phone ot no longer had the x and had full service amd working lte so idk maybe it was cell tower maintenence but don't know for sure but the issue hasn't happened again tho but thanks for everyone for the help and suggestion!
