help please s4 gsm data not working

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.
Thanks

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.

So tweaker almost finished and now killed my texts as well. Data is checked in roaming and gsm. This has been a giant pia.

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...

[GUIDE] Flash Sprint Moto X to Page Plus

Hello all! I recently won a Sprint Moto X on eBay for the shockingly low price of $130, and I decided to attempt to flash it to Page Plus. So, in order, that others may benefit from this awesomeness, I decided to post a basic guide. One thing to note is that, if you have flashed Sprint phones to Page Plus before, the process is very similar.
DISCLAIMER: This guide comes with no guarantees of any kind. If you lose personal data or service, brick your phone, or lose your arm to gangrene, I am not responsible.
Stuff You Need
A PC running Windows
Motorola Drivers (download here)
SPCUtility APK (download here)
DFS (download here)
QPST (download here)
Page Plus PRL (attached)
10.key file (attached)
Stock, rooted Moto X 4.4.2 firmware (you can try an older version, but I've only tested on this)
How to Do It
First, if you don't have one, get a Page Plus phone number and account. You'll need it for manually programming.
If you have trouble getting Page Plus to accept your ESN (which is the MEID you'll find in Settings > About Phone > Status), try live chat until someone is okay with activating a 4G phone. They will probably warn you that they offer no support for programming 4G phones.
Make sure to Live Chat with Page Plus and ask for your MDN, MIN, and SID. Most likely, your MDN and MIN will be your phone number.
Once everything on Page Plus' end is set up, dial ##DIAG# on your phone. In the screen that appears, click the overflow button and choose Edit. Then set Diag Port to Enable.
Now install the Motorola drivers so you can connect your phone to your PC. This is sometimes a tricky process, and I don't know why. Google is your friend if you have trouble. When successful, you will see this in Device Manager.
Before attempting to program, you need your MSL. Install the SPCUtility APK and use it to get your MSL.
If you haven't already, install DFS. Open the program and click the Ports button in the upper-left corner. Then double-click the Motorola QC Diag Port to select it. (If you don't see this port, the drivers are not properly set up.) Close the Ports window.
Enter your MSL in the SPC box under the Ports button. Then click the SPC send arrow. Your log window should show DEVICE UNLOCKED. (If the log window is not visible, click the Log button in the upper-right.)
(Optional) In the General tab, click Read in the SPC box. Then replace the SPC string with 000000 and click Write. This sets your MSL to all-zeroes, useful for future programming.
In the General tab, click Read in the Config box. It may already read NV_ONLY. If it does not, set it and click Write.
Go under the NAM tab and click Read at the bottom. The fields will populate with your phone's current programming. Now replace the numbers in both MIN A and MIN D fields with your MIN. Fill the MDN and PCS fields with your MDN. Finally, in the Home box, fill in your SID and click Write.
In the PRL box, click Load and select the Page Plus PRL you downloaded. Click Write.
At this point, you may click Reset and your phone should have talk/text. Try taking and sending one of each to verify that everything has gone right so far.
Now go back to DFS and send your SPC again to get back to work. In the Data tab, click Read, and then fill out all of the UID fields and the HDR AN NAI field with [email protected] (the X's being your phone number). In the PPP SIP NAI, use [email protected]. Put "vzw" (sans quotes) in all of the password fields, and make sure the authentication box is checked. Click Write.
Go to the Mobile IP tab and click Read. At this point, I admit that I do not know 100% what I am doing, but that these settings worked for me. Basically, make your settings look like these ones, but input your number where I scribbled out my own. Also, for everything in the Selected Profile Settings box, put it in both the first and second profile selections. After filling each of those out, click Write current profile settings. Then click Write in the left box.
At this point, reset your phone. You might have working 1X after a minute. Irrelevant, because we're about to go for 3G. Close DFS.
Open QPST Configuration (install it if you haven't). Click Add New Port... and select the only available port. Click Okay, then go to Start Client > EFS Explorer. Select your phone and enter your MSL. It will take a minute to read the phone's EFS data.
Once the EFS data is loaded, right click the root directory and click New > Directory. Name the new folder DMU.
Inside the DMU folder, click File > Open and select the 10.key file you downloaded. Verify the target path is /DMU/10.key.
When the file is copied successfully, click Phone > Reset Phone. When the phone reboots, wait a minute or two. You should have 3G!
3G speed test results here
MMS Fix
Download and install 8sms from the Play Store or their website.
If you're using KitKat, be sure to set the new app as your default SMS app.
In the app, go to Settings > MMS Settings.
Now set the following:
MMS Network: Sprint
MMSC: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=XXXXXXXXXX (the X's being your phone number)
MMS Proxy: leave blank
MMS Port: 8080 (if that doesn't work, try 80)
MMS over WiFi: Off
Volia! You should have working MMS.
Now, I freely admit that there are numerous places to go wrong here, but this is what worked perfectly for me. If you have trouble, tell me and I'll try to help. Also, check out this thread for general flashing reference. Viper is an expert at these kinds of projects.
Happy flashing!

Flashing between major, independent carriers is illegal. Legally we can only flash between MNVOs.

but what mean MNVO ? I am not USA citizen I live in Republic Of Georgia

It wants your MSL/SPC code. Look for the app called SPCUtility.apk in the OP.
I downloaded it from an XDA page by the guy who developed it but I no longer have the URL and don't recall his handle.
It will tell you your subsidy unlock code, at least it did for me on my Moto X and for several other folks with other Android phones.

Configuring APN on Verizon S5

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.

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 could not add the "Dun" to the apn for it to work even with my MSL code it was grayed out.
PLease! Please! share how you managed it.

I'm not sure why mines have it.... Have you tried the old method from the G5, do you have debugging on?

I don't think it's anything special because it's everywhere... It's crazy if you don't have that option.

I thought i was going MAD..but im not ...see screen shot
I did not know there was a way to do it on the G5.
I only knew methods for G2 G3 ill jump back to the G5 forums and search.
And yes i have all great setting on dev mode ,unknow sources..usb debug..etc

That's strange, I'm not sure why I have it in mines. I wish I could compare our phones settings.

If it's not too much trouble could you post your system settings..just curious i remeber one time i got and update forced on my phone.

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.

I deleted the IMS, the only thing that I kept was ota. And then add the Internet APN manually. Yours might be r.ispsn.... And it's in the ##DATA Menu.... MMSC

Just glad I could help... Had no ideal that the phone had to be UICC unlocked.... I guess they did that when I brought the phone. :good:

Thanks Again,
last question.. what app are you using to depict your LTE signal?
Top left of your screen shots?

Unlimited hotspot/No root/Android 9

Works with any version on android even android 9
I have unlimited hotspot
This method only works if you own your phone.
Call sprint tell them you want to unlock your phone
Once they are done dial ##data#
Click edit
Pin: 000000
Click apn settings
Click add (if you can't click add, update profile and prl in setting and reboot or dial ##brand# and click yes)
Call it whatever (sprint custom)
Clone your other apn for sprint for each setting
Under apn type add dun with no spaces
EXP: default,mms,dun
Save the apn and choose it
That's it
Don't update your profile or you will have to select the custom again. You can update your prl all you want tho.

I know this says Note 9......i tried this on the Note 10+ and got nothing. Everything is greyed out so i cant even add or edit.
Wondering if theres another way. I've free hotspot for many years now....and i hope it doesnt end here with this Note 10+

This for note 8 running android 9.
Is your phone unlocked to make a dummy apn?

Used this method. It's working great for me.

not necessarily the equipment must be fully paid. If you have debts, you only need the MSL code. when you pay full your device, sprint unlocks it, the MSL changes to 000000

My notes msl has always been 000000, even when I was paying on it.

I own a Note 8 that was originally on AT&T I believe and unlocked.
I put a Sprint Sim in it and it has been on Sprint since January 2020.
It's on latest Android 9.
##data# just calls 3232 and "not a working number.
I have the original device unlock code.
Do I need to do something else?
Appreciate the help
I don't have Hotspot with my plan.

.UPDATE:
I hit ##3232" where it should have been ##3282# and worked fine once i5figured that out.
Thank you for the tip.
