Hello everyone,
I own the European LG Urbane 2nd Edition, just flashed the latest (3rd) Android Wear 2.0 preview. Everythings works jusr fine, however I am unable
to use mobile data. Phone calls work just fine, but no APN settings appear in the app. The SIM card does have the correct settings. Is there any way I can add APN settings manually. There is an article which explainss the steps to take using adb, but I am unable to root the watch.
Cheers
Chris

Ok. Yeah I had this same issue when I first bought my watch (W200A AT&T version) last November. I tried a few MVNO carriers SIMs but couldn't get data to work. Unfortunately there isn't an easy way to set the APN settings. I eventually found the Truphone SIM. It's a global SIM that I've used here in the US and when visiting family in France. No guarantees, but maybe it would work. It's prepaid, 9 cents per minute/text/MB with free incoming calls/texts in the US.. Depending on where you're located, it may cost more there. If you use a lot of data or located in a country that cost more, it may not be the cheapest.

Yeah I've been using Truphone with calls/texts and data for just over a year now in the Urbane 2. I'm still waiting on the 2.0 update to see if data increases much. I only activate the cell now when I run a few times a week and I'm paying about $1-$2 a month. My last purchase of $15 credit in July still has $3 left. Credit doesn't expire unless there is no activity in 180 days, based on what a CS rep told me.
Using MVNOs on Android Wear
Unfortunately there is not yet an official way to enter APNs manually in Android Wear 2.0. So this is nothing LG specific - the same is for other smartwatches like the Huawei Watch 2 4G. As the virtual provider's (MVNO) APNs are usually not preconfigured you won't be able to connect. At the moment the only way to circumvent this is by rooting your watch. In my blog post I describe the process. You find the link on the Android Central link shared by mward1995 (I'm as a new user not allowed to post external links)

Hi,
I have the same watch as you and i'm not capable to root mine (too complex for me). Can i ask you a service for me if possible? It it technically possible for you to get the complete list of all the apn that already present in your watch ? I want to show it to my carrier to prove that they aren't in it...
Thanks
HI,

Hello all,
I tried searching but couldn't find some of the info I needed on this and was hoping to get some answers here.
I have a Droid 4, I have it rooted and am running Liquid Smooth on it. So far so good, works like a charm.
I go to Brazil often and needed a phone there, so I was just going to bring my droid and insert a chip. The actual radio / phone will work, but it would not send any text messages to save its life. It wasn't a 3G / account with internet service so I couldn't even check that piece of it unfortunately.
But I was wondering if there is anything specific I need to do in order to get it to work outside the country that I'm missing. Or if it is the lack of data package, and why would calls work but not SMS?
And and all help is appreciated.
Anyone?
what do you mean insert a chip ? another sim card or so
Yep, another Sim card from another country.

k that's good
to get it to work in brazil you have to change some build.prob entries to get it work there
the telephone is not a global phone it ist locked by verizon but outside US you can use GSM Network and to get work you have to change some things
use a build.prob editor you finde some in the store
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0
ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1
ro.telephony.default_network=3
ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc=0
ro.mot.phonemode.vzw4gphone=0
persist.radio.lte.mm.disable=1
ro.mot.lte_on_cdma=0
persist.radio.ap.phonetype=1
but it could be thet if you go back to verizon that you have to change it again

I used my Droid 4 in Germany with no problem this spring. Calls, SMS, data - everything worked. I did have a data package with the SIM, so IDK if that is necessary to send SMS. You probably have to check with the carrier....
When I logged into the network the first time the carrier automatically send me some packages to install the necessary APNs and settings via SMS and I was good to go. when I returned, I just popped in the Verizon SIM and the phone automatically reverted to the Verizon APN.
I am on rooted stock.

Since you are running a custom rom, you may want to read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766479
I updated to the 8.1 developers preview on my Sprint Samsung Ativ S Neo and everything worked well yesterday. Today when I left the house I found that I can't access cellular data.
I've checked to make sure cellular data is enabled, tried profile updates, etc. and I'm stumped. I was hoping that someone could either direct me to a place where I can download a ROM to flash back to the stock version of WP 8 or suggest some additional troubleshooting steps.

Nevermind - Saw your post in the other thread - Vodaphone.
Who is your provider? Sprint customer service and two Sprint stores were clueless on what the APN should be. I asked the question directly. I have also done much searching and came up with nothing (that works) for Sprint.

Sprint apn settings
Okay, So I'm curious what the sprint apn settings are because nothing allows me to get MMS back working on my developer preview Sprint Samsung Ativ S Neo. If someone could post them that would really help.
The other thing I'm curious about is if anyone knows how to get back to standard windows 8.0 on my sprint samsung ativ s neo. I guess my data problems stem from the fact that I've done a hard reset on the phone and that's why MMS isn't working. I was able to do some tricks with activation to get data working but still no MMS.
Please someone post how to get standard windows 8.0 back. Thanks!
This tutorial is my method for successfully unlocking the G flex to Cricket/AIO/ATT wireless with data/MMS, No battery drain, no Wifi calling drain.
1. Pros. Use Cricket/AIO/ATT sim.
2. Cons. Must dial International code +1 ( or whatever country code you're in) before every 10 digit number.
********Before we start you need to be on stock 4.4.2 sprint rom with Network Mode LTE/CDMA enabled************
(The roaming option does not appear when on GSM)
Next, change theme from "FLEX" to "LG". For some reason FLEX bugs out after the phone unlocks and causes crashes. (May be an isolated incident)
*Now we need to add the APN from AIO wireless into the Apn list by going into settings>roaming>Access point names
*The APN list will be blank and state "NO APNS" this is normal. Hit the menu button and add the AIO wireless APN settings from
http://buzzmobile.us/aio-wireless-apn-settings-internet-mms/
When completed you will need to press the back button and once again you will be greeted with a blank APN screen. Don't worry it's there.
Follow the instructions for root + unlocking the phone here. Total commander doesn't work on 4.4.2, don't use it, do it all with Root Browser (Get from Play Store).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50477852
After you are finished you should be rooted, successfully finished removing bloatware and left with a half unlocked phone.
Now navigate to settings/tethering and networks/mobile networks/Network Mode and change to GSM/WCDMA
**********************You are finished with this portion of the Tutorial***********************
*Fun Part*
1. Download Rom toolbox on your phone, the free/lite version is fine.
2. Navigate to build.prop editor
3. Find and change the settings listed..
ro.carrier=spr (spr to lowercase)
ro.build.target_operator=spr (spr to lowercase)
persist.service.crash.enable=1
Lets keep something in mind here... Once you change these settings you will need to restart your phone and you will be unlocked for Cricket/AIO/ATT networks, however, at this time you should know that if you venture back into network mode and happen to change your settings back to LTE/CDMA, you will lose the ability to change your network mode back to GSM UNLESS you revert the build.prop changes listed above. You can actively switch from LTE/CDMA and GSM by this method although I don't see why anyone would..
At this point you should have Talk/Text/Data/MMS...If not, you may have done something wrong.
**More funner part***
At this point in the tutorial your phone is doing two things.
1. It lies when it says its only on GSM/WCDMA
2. Rapidly draining the S#$% out of your battery.
We need the MSL Code so we may dial ##DATA# in your phone and access LTE settings.
Follow this Tutorial for retrieving your MSL code.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47324060
After you obtain the MSL pull up the phone application and dial ##DATA#(3282) Navigate into LTE and disable LTE/Band 26/Band 41
When you back out of the menu your phone will restart and stop continuously looking for LTE Radio.
**Final touches**
Remove all and I mean ALL sprint and preloaded wifi calling applications if you experience wifi calling battery draining. For some reason wifi calling spazzes out.
I'm not going to list the apk's because it may be an isolated incident and if you find out wifi calling is draining your battery just long press it in battery stats and go to "APP INFO" and find out what it is named and remove it with root browser...
I have been on Cricket/AIO wireless for two weeks now with HSPA+ and enjoying it.
This method may work with other carriers who knows.
**Food for thought**
1. When I change the ro.carrier settings from lowercase spr to ndo like in the APN i got a cool h+ instead of GSM.
2. I have not been able to wifi tether yet with cricket and I'm actively looking for a way now..
3. Think anyone else has issues with the FLEX theme crashing?
thanks.

If you don't mind how much do you pay? Will this work with a T-Mobile Flex? I'm pretty happy with T-Mobile since I got my discount back. I have 4 lines so it's around 25 bucks in savings a month.

It should work with t-mobile, i don't see why not, instead of ATT/AIO apn's just add a Tmobile apn and make sure that you have some time to play with the build.prop settings for example...
ro.carrier = spr can be changed to ndo and still work because "in theory" it matches the APN.
After adding the tmobile apn setting, changing ro.carrier to " t-mobile" to match the apn might work .
Try it out and see!
p.s i would leave ro.build.target_operator=spr alone, if all else fails you can change this too.
Thanks for the guide . I picked up a sprint g flex and lg g2 cheap, used your guide on both. Enjoying them on NET10 in the states.
patiently waiting for a custom recovery for kitkat on the flex.
interesting thread. i keep running into an issue though. as soon as i reboot after changing the stuff it reverts to where i was before and nothing saved. any suggestions? root is fine...
awesome stuff here i really want to see this happen on my flex!
Wont allow apn change
so i got stuck with a simple issue. when i go into the apn list there is an apn there already.
cinet.spcs
and when i press the menu key it is not showing the add feature to be able to add the new apn as described in the thread.
after doing these I noticed when opening Wifi it force closes and says "Unfortunantley, Settings has stopped"
only wifi that works is the one i used before doing these mods wont allow adding others
also have tried various wifi repair apps
working for me but getting tons of systemui crashes
Concerning the errors that appear often but I came out I did this : I returned and change in the build prop, spr for SPR capitalized and not returned to me the problem also remove the option to persist crash : 0 , take into GSM mode UMTS network selection mobile. I'm in version 4.4
Not working for me.
I tried this 3 times. Once with stock 4.4.2. Once downgraded to 4.2.2 and another time after updating back to 4.4.2 from OTA. All failed. Could not get any sim to be recognized. I am a smart guy and have done much more complicated methods of flashing, rooting, etc. for Android phones. But this just does not work. The phone states no SIM when I put my Cricket SIM in it. But when I put the Sprint SIM back, it reads it.
Any help would be GREATLY accepted. Thank you.
PS: I called Sprint because this is a clean phone. When I asked for the unlock code they gave me the MSL. I have a feeling that is incorrect but I could be wrong. After an hour on the phone, they said that is the unlock code. No matter how much I tried to tell them it's not.

Maybe this is a better guide for you:
http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-sim-unlock-sprint-lg-g2-ls980/
The Sim unlock does work, I've been using my sprint g flex on cricket for 6 months or so , but only with H+ .
You don't really need the msl or have the phone in good standing (blacklisted is OK).
If the Sim isn't being recognized that means you didn't do the folder replacement right. I had trouble at this part, which was solved by using the app "ROM toolbox". It took a few tries.
As far as changing the APN , just use any shortcut app on the playstore.
For switching bands, use the app " network" from the playstore. No msl needed.

Did you use the files from my link? Flex specific?
Don't use total commander.
What software version are you on?
Even after the FC, does it recognize your Sim?
You must also change the build prop, just realize the guide doesn't have that. Probably why your getting FCs.
Save a copy before making changes:
ro.carrier=spr
ro.build.target_operator=spr

Sweet. Glad you got it.
The only trouble I have had with this method is if the phone shuts off or I restart, I have to switch the bands back to GSM.

Hello there,
First time poster. I've had a hell of a time trying to figure out this problem with my LG L90 D415, updated to the latest version of Lolipop, which I bought advertised as "unlocked" off eBay and intended to use with Consumer Cellular (CC), a virtual GSM network using bandwidth from the AT&T and T-Mobile networks. Such a phone is supposed to work on their network. It is now rooted and ready to go. However, I cannot change the APN settings to use data. Under settings, if I try to create a new APN with a different MNC number, the new APN will automatically be deleted. The phone is supposedly unlocked, and does seem to be so as it accepts the CC sim card and I am able to send and receive calls with it. It is now rooted using the one-click script by avicohh method.
As a side note, I also cannot send or receive text messages from anyone other than a friend who is on T-Mobile. I've contacted CC's tech support and they swear its the fact that the APN is still locked on the phone. I therefore plan to fix this problem so I can add the CC network's APN to see if it makes a difference on my phone.
I have since rooted the phone using the one-click method. I was even able to delete the T-Mobile APN entry by using a combination of BusyBox, /system/app mover, and APNManager apps. However this does not stop any APN without the T-Mobile MNC from being auto-deleted in Settings -> Mobile Network - APNs.
I have downloaded and installed the Android SDK suite in anticipation of flashing a rom onto the phone as a last resort fix. However, I cannot find a link to a rom for the D415 which I am certain does not contain the T-Mobile firmware and bloatware on it, neither on LG's website nor here.
I am hoping someone here has heard of this problem before and has an idea of what I can do to fix this frustrating APN problem caused by T-Mobile.

I just tried it. No luck, but thank you for the link. Looks like it applied to the same problem, but solved it only for an older version of Android. It will not work with my phone which has Lolipop. My problem is that the new APN entries get auto-deleted, not that they are greyed out as that link described.
I have contacted LG and T-Mobile technical support, and they keep pointing fingers at each other and cannot help me. After much insistence, T-Mobile has suggested that I go into one of their stores to solve the problem, and if a support tech cannot help me there, then I should return the phone to the vendor, which is what I intend to do.
If anyone has a clue how to unlock the APN settings on this phone, please help!
almost ready just have to confirm a few things before i give the instructions
I don't know if OP is returning to this thread, but here is the explanation he posted in the S7 Edge forum:
Just a quick how to on unlocking the Hotspot on any version of tw including our new s7 and s7 edge. Root is Not needed
First you must get your msl
There are numerous ways to get it the best way is call sprint tech support and tell them "band 41 is disabled and you need to enable it. Your friends s5 gets it and he has sprint spark. Mines disabled" "i can tell because the app lte discovery shows it disabled" they will send you to advanced tech support who will give you the msl and walk you through enabling band 41. {just go along with him and say goodbye you got the msl now} or however you can get it
Next type in ##data# (on the phone dialer pad)
Click edit
Type in yoUr MSL
Go to apn settings
Select the first apn EHRPD and go to type
Change it from (default, mms) to (default, mms, dun) no spaces
Click the menu up top right and hit save
{hitting save is mandatory}
Next got to the lte apn
Go to type
And make the same changes also remember HIT SAVE
Now reboot and turn on your Hotspot
Tadaaaa a.
Note Hotspot will not work on airrave. without adding this:
to get it to work on airrave got to the same APN area as above with MSL
click add apn and name it APN2 EVDO_A
next go to APN below name and type n.ispsn
next go down to type and enter default ,mms,dun
next go down to protocol and check ipv6 and ipv4 both do this on the roaming protocol below it also
next go down to bearer and uncheck unspecified and check EVDO_A
last again in the top right corner hit menu save (saving is mandatory) At least this method. But it works flawlessly otherwise. Hopes this helps
Works on All tw roms
Enjoy
if you update your prl or profile youll have to add dun back to the apns it only takes a minute though
profile and prl updates reset the dun setting
enjoy my fellow s7 edge owners
ADDITIONAL EDIT: If you activated your S7 via the Sprint site after you ordered it, your MSL is the "activation code" that they sent you in your activation email. You can find it on the left hand side, next to the photo of the phone. Look for where it says "Activation code: XXXXXX If your device does not activate automatically, you may need this code." That code is your MSL.

Why not just subscribe to the thread?
Depending on your plan, Hotspot is included if you have one of the gig bucket plans. Use to have to do Hotspot tweaks too,
I went from the 1500 unlimited data, to a 3gig plan and Hotspot is included.
My plan with 2 ezpay s7 phones and 3 gigs is much less than I was paying. Plus I never use more than 3 gigs, usually way less with wifi.
If you have your msl, just adding dun to a string in your data settings will work.
Hoping for the best with this. This was as big omission on my part when switching from my CM 12.1 S3 to the S7 today. Really miss that on the go.
The standard MSl/3282/DUN mod works fine.... However, I'm stuck @ 600k/s

Has anybody gotten a hotspot toggle widget to work?
All the previous ones I used worked on my N3 but not the S7.

Seems my recollection is you have to 'dun' a couple spots in the '3282',
Be sure you got 'em all.
Edited my first post with the details on this mod.
OMG 5 tech support guys later and all giving me the run around for this band 41. Non giving up any codes. Any other work around for finding MSL i miss my tethering ability.

Hopefully you have an old sprint phone lying around...
'Switch/activate' the old phone on your gs7 line via mysprint.com,
at completion of process,
You'll get the ACTIVATION(msl) code.
Wait a short time for account to settle (5-30min),
reactivate your gs7 and get the ACTIVATION(msl) code a6 completion of process.

Tried that but system tells me to go to a sprint store. I have my old rooted Note 3. Guess i will wait for root
I got mine in 3 minutes via chat when I told them I needed the MSL to reset my GPS.
I got mine via chat. Tell them you don't have LTE. They will walk you through some troubleshooting and it includes giving you your MSL
Struck out again went through 3 diffrent people in chat all they did was ##72786# and reset the phone then said to call tech support. Worst luck trying to get this code

I too am interested in this! My previous phone was an S4 which I rooted and did the SQLLite mod to get the hotspot setup widget. But I don't want to root my S7E. What's the best way to get quick access to hotspot on a non-rooted S7E?

This is how I did it. Worked perfectly.
Sprint: We received your information and will connect you with a Chat Specialist soon.
Eric K.: Thank you for contacting Sprint. My name is Eric K.. I am happy to help you today.
You: Hello Eric I am having Data issues with my phone. Can I please get my MSL number?
Eric K.: I understand your concern.
Eric K.: I'm sorry for your inconvenience. I’ll help find a solution for you as quickly as possible.
Eric K.: Please give me a moment to access your account information.
Eric K.: May I please have your 6-10 digit numeric PIN to access your account?
You: I don't know it. THe answer to my secret question is ***** though
Eric K.: Thank you.
Eric K.: May I know what steps you will take you use this code?
You: Just going to use it to access the network settings and select a different APN. It has happened to me before and doing that has always resolved the issue
Eric K.: It is ******
The steps:
Go to Dialer and enter ##DATA# (##3282#)
Press "Edit" then enter your MSL.
Click on APN Settings
For both "APN2 EHRPD internet" and "APN2 LTE internet" change APN Type from "default,mms" to "default,mms,dun"
After you enter the change, hit Menu -> Save before going to the next APN.

Issue wasn't with modification, it was location.
I changed location and peaked at about 60mbps
