[SOLVED] APNs wont save & Straight Talk SIM not recognized

Trying to get my friends phone working on Straight Talk. So far, I found the APN settings but when I choose to add a new APN, enter the settings, and choose save... my APN list is still blank. Even after serveral reboots (I've read that sometimes that will make the new APN appear) it still does not show up.
I'm running CyanogenMod 10.0 with a fresh install after clearing all partitions and doing a factory reset. I've unlocked the phone with the app in the android market called 'Galaxy S Unlock'... I've tried everything I've read on the subject (and even had to re-flash from soft bricks)... What am I missing?
EDIT: I should note... after unlocking, my T-Mobile card worked without even editing APNs.
SOLVED: See my last post on this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37664537&postcount=9)

First off does the phone work for phone calls and text messages on StraightTalk? Secondly when you find APN settings in the phone is there any list at all? Clearly the phone is unlocked since you got it to work on T-Mobile so it's not that.
Also I'm curious where did this StraightTalk sim come from? Did it come out of a StraightTalk phone or was it ordered off their website?

Thanks for the reply... appreciate the help/direction.
Nothing appears in the APN list. It doesn't work for StraightTalk at all... no calls, text or anything. I'm guessing the SIM came with a StraightTalk phone but I'll have to ask my friend to be sure.

There's the problem. A sim out of a straight talk phone will not work. He will have to order one from their website and have it activated.

I'm assuming that is it then. This sort of thing makes me CRAZY! I will buy a SIM from the site (this friend of mine is past the age of online buying)... thank you for your help... I'll post how this goes, for future Android newbs like myself.

Keep in mind that I could be very wrong but I am on StraightTalk myself and have never had any issues with the sim I ordered. And considering that you had no troubles using the phone with your sim then I have to assume that's the case.

If anyone has any input on a SIM card from a phone package not working on a different phone, please let me know. It is about $20 after tax and shipping to get a SIM. We are thinking of just going the prepaid ATT route instead.

Well with StraightTalk they lock the sim card to the phone it comes with. So even if you had two phones from them you wouldn't be able to just trade out the sim card like you can with ATT or T-Mobile. Now if you get one of the sims off their site those will work in any ATT or unlocked phone.

Just got my brand new StraightTalk SIM in the mail and activated it online. It worked perfect. HSPA and 3G worked, I could text and send picture messages. The phone is ready to go!

After making sure you have a working modem (ugkg3 works great for me) you'll want to check and make sure you haven't lost your IMEI. It happens sometimes when you flash custom ROMs and that will prevent you from getting any service.

no cell coverage on straight talk with cyanogenmod
I have a galaxy s2 i727 with the cyanogenmod 10.1.2. I am a caveman newby (over 50) and i am not able to get more then 1 bar on the cell coverage and not able to make calls. Does the cyanogenmod effect cell coverage? should i use different apn settings? the wifi works perfectly well and i have received some texts. I live in nor. Cal and i believe straight talk is using att lines.
any help would be awesome!

The old one is the att.mvno APN but I deleted it so if u need that one you will have to search....
I would also search/ read about modems and what one may work good for your area. There are numerous threads (some stickied here) about modems. Try the APN first though to rule it out. After you make the new APN save it, select it, and reboot.....
Edit: I see you also have an s2 not a captivate so don't flash anything from here....

Also the APN will not prevent you from getting signal and receiving phone calls. So if you can't even receive or male calls you need to look into modems for your s2.
And a little more specifically in regards to the last post the two different apns depend on when you purchased a sim card from them. If you got one in the last year or so it will likely be the tfdata. If older it'll be att.mvno

What wasn't fair was when I lost my data and no one at ST could tell me why!! I had to read way more than I wanted to...From other posts around the web on the subject led me to believe the change was more to do with the 4g/lte towers. Seemed like at some point some users were forced to change to the new apn because they lost even 3g data using the old one.
Some have also posted about when traveling through certain areas, they had to change just the MMSC/MMS proxy back and forth between old and new to keep receiving mms.:silly:

I'll give it a shot...
Coming from a Note 2, and I rely a lot on Google Now (aka Voice Search).
I was able to set up my Note 2 to launch Google Now by long pressing the menu key.
If there's a way to do this on the Note 3, I haven't found it yet. Anyone know a way? (For now, my workaround is to long press the home key to bring up task switcher and press the globe icon to launch Google Now.)
Question 2:
I used Internet Browser (had manually installed flash) on my Note 2. The version on my Note 2 had a "Labs" menu where you could turn on a circular floating menu feature to operate most browser functions by just sliding your thumb in from a screen edge. I got really fast with that and feel very inefficient in the browser without it.
My Note 3's Internet Browser app doesn't appear to have a "Labs" menu at all. Any secret way anyone knows to get that menu (or the floating circular thumb menu feature) back on this apparently newer version of the app? I know loading an older version of the app is probably out of the question without root.
Thanks for reading my stupid questions.
Despite these minor quibbles, I'm really loving this faster, brighter phone and its (in my opinion) vastly better camera.

I'm relatively new to Android. I had a few Kindle Fires and an S2 Skyrocket but didn't do anything much with either. After having an iPhone 5s and being underwhelmed, I switched to the Note 3 and love it. My problem is my battery life has been poor. The battery life was supposed to be awesome and I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.
Here's what I do now.
-Keep screen as dim as it will go
-Have Juice Defender that switches WiFi and data off/on depending on what's being used
-Bluetooth & GPS off unless I need them
-Auto-Sync is off and I have data restriction on
-I periodically go into the running apps and stop what's useless to me (Games, Samsung Apps etc.)
I may be overreacting, but I heard this battery is great and it's going down fast by just web browsing. Is there anything I'm missing being new to Android and all? Thanks.

Have the pen button gestures from the note 2 been removed from the note 3? I miss the one for going home.

On Q3. Google updated maps and removed labs. Really pissed me off becuase I used the labs stuff. I actually think the newest version is worse than the desert version. Does that seem to be a way to add it back.

I'm currently with Sprint and thinking of switching over to AT&T (Sprint 4G/LTE signal sucks at my work location) and get a Note 3 (or MotoX, but most likely Note 3). I'm new to the whole GSM smartphone in US so I'm unclear on a few things, especially regarding Sim Lock and Bootloader lock on AT&T
Here's my questions:
Why bother locking Bootloader? The official words seem to be that the Carriers are worried about untested software running on their networks and could cause problems. However, people are mentioning that they can pay full retail price for a T-Mobile phone which is not bootloader locked and sim unlock it and use it on AT&T. If anyone can do that (if they want to pay for the phone in full) there WILL be untested software running on their network anyways.
Why bother locking the sim card? It's not like I can unlock my phone and cancel my contract and move to T-Mobile, I'll still get slap by a Early Termination Fee to pay off the subsidized portion of the phone and then some.
If I want to use my phone elsewhere in the world, I heard that the phone is Region Locked as well, and if I don't unlock the sim or use the region unlock apk, I can't use it outside of US. Are there any issue if I pay to remove the sim lock? e.g. will AT&T fine me or something if they finds out? (I currently don't have to deal w/ this problem because no one else in the world use CDMA, and I just get a cheapo dumb phone when I travel).
thanks

AT&T won't fine you if you unlock your device.. I'm pretty sure they would do it for you for a fee.

Ok, under s pen option. It says turning off pen detection when the pen is attached can save battery. What does that mean? What are they calling pen detection?
Also, I can not get burst mode to work while taking pictures. I assume it is press and hold like any other phone right?

To answer your first question your phone is always making sure (yes here come the jokes) you got the pen in it. But turning that off will save battery life. It will still detect when you take it out.

What kind of system language is available on this device? As in, menus, apps, etc. (not keyboard since keyboard can be downloaded through play store, etc.), all in a certain language. From my past experience with AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 and S3 phone, there is no Chinese as a system language if I remember correctly and wondering if this still the same.

Sprint Is Onto Us (Only Logical Explanation)

Ok guys, I'm an avid tether user. I've been tethering my ass off since I'm blanketed in LTE, but as of late I've run into a problem. I noticed on Ecliptic Sense 5.5 that while tethering, the data connection would drop constantly. I was on OMJ Sense 5.5 before and it didn't used to happen. I thought it was just an Ecliptic Rom error so I clean flashed OMJ Sense 5.5 only to notice tbd issue is now there! Someone then said that ports are known to do this so I decided to flash Tranquil 4.3 only to notice... THE ISSUE IS THERE ALSO! I think Sprint is doing this as a preventive measure to prevent tethering. They already blocked WiFi tether somehow and have now sniffed out our script for native tether. Can someone smarter than me (@FrozenRiff) hopefully elaborate on this?
I need to kill some people in GTA V really bad right now!
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4

My tethering works just fine, but I don't abuse it like so many people do.If your using it to tether a console, then get a wired connection. Who would want to tether a console or rely on it for primary internet?

If the terms of your contract say otherwise, then it's not technically your choice...just sayin'.
Also, are you sure they're not just doing tower maintenance or something? Not saying that's the reason, but just tossing that out there.

No because data doesn't drop UNLESS I'm using tether. Take a look at this logcat here. I don't know how to read them, but I uploaded this one for the smarter people

I haven't come across this with sprint, but with VZW (i'm still on unlimited data) once I would get over 30GB no matter which tether method I tried, it would always disable data, then enable over and over. Once I turned off tether it would work fine. Sounds similar, I never found a fix and it wouldn't work properly until the next billing cycle when my data counter reset to 0.

That's what mine does. Do you think that's what's going on? It never drops when not using tether

I have a different phone on vzw so it's not device specific apparently. This sucks, I'm moving to a Sprint LTE area next month and planned on making up for all this 3g nonsense lol
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

Yeah exactly what I was thinking as well, native tethering would connect my laptop on the road but no internet connection, but I could browse on my phone. Used wifi tether and worked perfectly...think they're figuring it out, on OMJ sense 5 ROM.

So you are stealing from a service that legit people pay for and when it stops for you you complain?
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

Sprint is the one stealing. Remember the premier benefits? Every year they seem to take more from long term customers and reward new ones instead. Their false LTE coverage map is a joke as well. The ones knowledgeable enough to enjoy the benefit of something that should be offered anyway are perhaps just trying to get their money's Worth out of their service.
Though you probably already have this number saved in your phone since you support them so much, here is sprint's number. You can call them and complain about us there since you won't change any of our minds here.

I'm up to 3GB of force roam data so far too. Screw ETFs.

LMFAO when did people start having a gun pointed to their heads to get a smartphone on Sprint? Anyone who is unhappy should have left in June or July when Sprint changed the contracts and ETF's were temporarily waived

Not everyone knew they could get out ETF free during that time or sprint would have lost many thousands more customers. The ones that did had to fight for a while to get out. Force roam is pretty easy though.

Eh, getting rid of Sprint without ETF is as easy enough with a PRL change. Roam on VZW long enough and they boot ya.
As far as tethering/data goes, try an AOSP rom, CM10.2 or whatever floats your boat. I have a ONE on both Sprint and VZW (One's business, one's personal) and my crybaby boss set a 2gb cap on my VZW line. Needless to say, the cap doesn't ever kick in on AOSP, but on any stock-based rom (Sense) the data cuts out. Tethering on AOSP is pretty solid also.

Sprint is awful with their false 4g map.... worst 3g speeds i've ever seen in my life. It's atrocious even in MAJOR metropolitan areas.

Ok guys, I'm an avid tether user. I've been tethering my ass off since I'm blanketed in LTE, but as of late I've run into a problem. I noticed on Ecliptic Sense 5.5 that while tethering, the data connection would drop constantly. I was on OMJ Sense 5.5 before and it didn't used to happen. I thought it was just an Ecliptic Rom error so I clean flashed OMJ Sense 5.5 only to notice tbd issue is now there! Someone then said that ports are known to do this so I decided to flash Tranquil 4.3 only to notice... THE ISSUE IS THERE ALSO! I think Sprint is doing this as a preventive measure to prevent tethering. They already blocked WiFi tether somehow and have now sniffed out our script for native tether. Can someone smarter than me (@FrozenRiff) hopefully elaborate on this?
I need to kill some people in GTA V really bad right now!

Having some problems lately myself tethering on CM10-seemingly out of nowhere. Not ready to point the finger at sprint yet but it's on my radar and ruined a night of gaming for myself as well.

Add Nexus 6 device ID to Verizon account?

Has anyone been able to add their Nexus 6 ICCID to their Verizon account so that it shows up as an officially recognized device (with a picture and stuff) on the account?
I'm trying to add HD Voice to my account and it won't let me add it with the unrecognized device. I've run into this problem before and have had to swap my Sim card back into my MotoX that it is officially registered to, then add/remove account features on my line, and finally swap the Sim card back into my N6.
I thought now that Verizon is selling the N6 it would reconigze my ICCID, but it still said invalid device when I tried to update it myself online.
Thanks

I have not heard of anybody being able to update their phone to make it say it's a Verizon device but many many of us have turned on HD Voice. Your account should show it as compatible.

Hmm, whenever I try and it in on the Add/Remove Features page I get this error "Please ensure all required features are selected for XXX-XXX-XXXX" (with my actual #). There are only two features that look as if they're required and I've selected an option for both.
I wonder if it's because I'm on a business account.

I was at the Verizon store last night and was informed by the rep that within the next few weeks Verizon should be adding devices to their database so that its recognized. They tried to add my IMEI but it still would not allow them to.

Try to change it from the mobile app, I cant change anything online since a rep in the store looked up my account now if I try to change it online it shows that I have to call Verizon to make the change. Something to do with the unrecognized device .

I've been trying for 2 months now. Still no luck. Spoke w/ tier 2 this morning. Paperwork was submitted and I'm supposed to get a phone call back tomorrow to resolve the issue. I'll keep everyone updated. Not very optimistic though. I really could care less if the phone was recognized, but I was getting a $25 loyalty credit that dissapeared 2 months ago. Had to keep calling in to get the credit. At least they were happy to issue the credit every month. Just a pita.

Unbelievable. And its no wonder that the CFO of Vz warned investors last month of an increase of churn for the 1st quarter of 2015. How can you treat customers like this and expext them to be loyal? Makes me look real hard at tmo. Sad.

They submitted a ticket for mine but she wasn't optimistic that it would ever show anything other than unknown.

You are looking at the "Free Products" tab and not the "Premium Products" tab which shows up by default in the "Manage Products & Apps" page?
When I went to select Advanced Calling on the Free tab, there were no other products chosen in either tab except for (Free) Verizon Cloud on my (unrecognized IMEI) Nexus 6 line.

Thanks for the advice man, but as a business customer I don't think I have the "Manage Products & Apps" page. I only have an Add/Remove Features page, I attached a couple related screenshots.

Surprisingly, I didn't have to put the SIM back in my old Moto X (2013) in order to place that order - it worked with my Nexus 6 holding the SIM and showing as an unrecognized IMEI in my family account, for some lucky reason. You can't enable this via the Moto?
Assuming your Nexus 6 is on a 5.1 level of Lollipop (which is required for HD Voice), perhaps you already checked to see if it's available to enable in the phone setting menu.
Hope I'm not confusing things, here.

I might be the one who confused things for you. The picture with Advanced Calling/HD Voice checked was just showing my attempt at enabling it. When I check it and press submit I get the error in the second screen shot. I'm almost positive the problem is that I'm using my N6 on my business account. I actually posted a different question in another thread, where I explained my whole process a little better. This just happened to be the thread brought back to life...
It's long and there's no real reason to bother reading it, but I'll post it here anyway...
EvanVanVan said:
Thanks for your help, the problem isn't the business account, it's that the combination of the business account and the non-vzw device (I think). I can't make any changes to the account while I've got my sim card in my N6, so when I need to, I put it back in my Moto X. But...
When I have the sim card in my N6 and go to my VZW business account page > click on my line > go to Add/Remove Features > I have a check box to enable HD Voice. But when I try to add it I get the following error "Please ensure all required features are selected for 555-555-5555." I think this is due to the non-vzw device status. There are only two required sections on the page, and I've selected an option for both of them.
Yet when I have the sim card in my Moto X, the HD Voice check box is no longer there...So I'm hoping if I can get a hold of [a Verizon compatible HD Voice] devices you listed and pop my sim card in, the check box will reappear and I'll be able to add it for my line.
And since I have a business account I can't use this page (http://www.verizonwireless.com/wcms/consumer/advanced-calling.html) to add it like another user suggested, because that one wants me to login to the regular My Verizon service, not the business one...

I called *611 and actually got a rep that sounded like she wanted to help. I explained that I had heard that people on business plans with nexus 6 phones not purchased through Verizon couldn't activate hdvoice via the website, but it was possible through the automated menu via *611. I told her that I was unsuccessful at doing it that way and she was able to get it done through the automated process on her end. Didn't have to transfer me or escalate the request to another level tech or anything.

Damn, sounds like you got lucky...I've tried and either they really can't help/run into errors like I do, or after hearing your story maybe they're kind of sketched out my device is showing up as unrecognized and are unwilling to help. The one woman did sound like she wanted to help, went through the process of filling out the paperwork to get it authenticated as a Open Development Device certification. But I never heard back from her and reading other peoples posts, it was most likely denied by the higher ups.

Try mentioning activating advanced calling 1.0 via the automated menu. After I mentioned that a few times she gave it a go on her end and I was all set.

Just to update, after a week of the runaround, the rep told me tonight that the only way I can get the loyalty discount is if I bought the phone from Verizon. They will not accept any other phones from other carriers, including directly from Motorola or the Google play store. It must be a Verizon branded phone. I lose my discount, so Verizon is losing my business. I'm switching to T-Mobile.

I put my sim card in my daughter's Droid Maxx to enable HD voice on my line. When I put the sim back in my T-Mobile N6 VoLTE does not work. I have been told by VZW tier 2 support the they tried to get my device added to their database and it was denied because I did not purchase it from VZW and my N6 will never be compatible with their VoLTE.

Well there is your problem.. You listened to a Verizon tech about this. It has been confirmed that volte works on non Verizon nexus 6's and the info on how to do it is in this thread.

Turn on shamu's AT&T HD Voice

Ok, I got the Samsung Gear S2 watch which runs on 4g today thinking the Nexus 6 at least had HD Voice because the 5 did and you have to have it to connect to A&T's NumberSync or it wont work on 4g and its useless. Anyway, I got everything to work except I couldn't get it to connect to the NumberSync with the error "We are sorry. We cannot set up NumberSync because your device does not have HD Voice...." I called AT&T and they asked for my IMEI number and that will tell them and they said it must not have HD Voice. Is there some way I can get this enabled on this phone so I can use this?
Thanks!

and what does hd voice have to do with Volte??? Volte = voice over lte. without volte, lte is only a data line, with volte it is also a voice line.

Heck if I know I just said VoLTE and she said yes but the error said HD voice... Ill change the title

if you make a call on lte, and you have voice, then its on.

Im not sure if the phone has it. I keep reading Verizon version does but AT&T dont at the time. Here is someting else. I thought she said my phone was coming up as something else but the IMEI number I gave her was correct or the same as I read off.

if you go to the main settings, more, cellular network, turn on enhanced 4G LTE mode.

its the same phone on all the networks, but i guess it might not be capable on every network(depending on their methods). anyways, it has hd voice on tmobile as well, not just verizon.

Whats weird is i dont have the option to turn it on in my phone settings and its an unlocked phone. The setting to turn it on/ off is there if i go to *#*#4636#*#* but the button is set to on and wont switch back and forth. There is supposed to be a nother setting under More/Cellular Networks/Preferred Network Type called extended and mine isnt there.

Does your phone company support VoLTE on this phone specifically?
The various Android 8 roms should support it if it works on stock. But many telcos check the specific model of the phone, and only enables it on the models that they have approved.

I'm on a AT&T MVNO (Red Pocket Mobile) so I don't know. But if you're talking about the backbone (AT&T) I still don't know because I believe my N6 was purchased from Google. I'm pretty sure AT&T branded N6's are approved.
