So I just picked up a sprint G2 off craigstlist and have finally gotten the sim card working, recognized, all that jazz. However, MMS doesn't work at all... I'm sure I put in the tfdata apn correctly (using an app that links to the apn settings, which I couldn't find), but data works. MMS does not. It's confusing. Anyone have suggestions?

Same for me in Canada on the Bell network. Tried Hangouts and Textra, no luck. I couldn't find a hack or workaround.

Found a trick that worked. If you press and hold the power button for 2 seconds, this menu will pop up. Depending on your ROM, choose the "reboot" or "Shut down and restart" option... My SMS now works flawlessly. And if anyone wants to know how to use a sprint lg g2 on straight talk GSM (or art or whatever), feel free to ask questions. I now have working MMS, calling, 3g data, texts, GPS, WiFi, NFC, and 10x1 shimano 105 drivetrain.

Reset didn't work for me, but I got it working. Here's what I did...
In the dialer press ##443336772# -You will get a 6 digit SPC code, remember this
In the dialer, press ##DATA# -This will take you to hidden Data settings
Select MMSC
Hit Edit -You will be prompted for your SPC code (Get this wrong twice and your phone will shut off)
You now have 3 options -Set URL, Gateway, and Set Port. These are all set by Sprint. My Port was ok but URL from my APN settings was not used! Now, set your URL (EG. mine was http://mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc)
Set your gateway. This is by default a bunch of numbers, but my actual gateway that works is my MMS Proxy (web.wireless.bell.ca)
Your phone may restart
You can now send/receive MMS!

From what I've found you have to root, then edit build.prop ? I've thinking about getting one, but I want to be sure I can use it on Straight Talk

Yep. Or you can flash a number of AOSP roms from the G2 android levelopment section. Using my AT&T straight talk card and it works fine.

Do you know if there is any real difference between the older AT&T ST sims and the new 4G LTE ones? I heard it just might be a little different APN settings

I don't know for sure, as I only have the Straight Talk AT&T LTE microsim. However, both cards use the same bands so I'd think the older sim would work too
I'm using Rayglobe Flex 4.0 that ported I for the lS980 for my wife and mine Sprint G2 and everything but NFC works great using StraightTalk AT&T sim. Talk, Text, Internet and MMS work with the the proper APN of coarse.

What do you mean "ported"? Are there any specific installation methods for the flex rom or can I flash it through recovery? I looked at the thread for Rayglobe flex, but it wasn't posted under the LS980 forum. If you could give me basic instructions and what your apn settings are that would be great. I can add a new apn, but it won't save it.

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.

Just to let all the Sprint LGG6 owners out there know. FoxFi 2.1.9 does not work with Android 7.0, however, PDAnet 4197 (aka PDAnet+) does, but Sprint blocks access to it in the play store. I have attached the .apk. The FoxFi Key.apk will convert it to a full unlocked version.

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?
And sometimes its says no sim or sim error ..so i insert the sprint sim and dial this code ##72786# and insert the metro sim.
I get the same problem that my Sprint LG G6 after dial ##27263# Removes branding and it is now I can't add new APN. The add apn is grey out. I am looking for this solution.
I have the same problem that my unlock Sprint LG G6 after removes branding, I can't a dd new APN and it is grey out. I am here is looking for help solution too. Hope someone will get this problem solved and put the solution here.

@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.

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.

##72786# Resets provisioning and makes phone reactivate. Useful if you are having network issues. Sprint recommends this if you ever change your services or phone number. Reboots phone.

##27263# Removes any branding (sprint) and resets phone to update branding. (useful if flashing to boost or other carrier) (##BRAND#) Reboots phone.

A factory reset doesn’t work?
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.
Jerry
.UPDATE:
I hit ##3232" where it should have been ##3282# and worked fine once i5figured that out.
Thank you for the tip.
