Edit APN Settings - T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to edit the APN settings on my V10 and I am unable to do anything but modify them. I can only add? Anyone else notice this? I am on stock ROM, but I am rooted. Thanks

Dial 277634#*#
In the hidden menu, click on unlock apn, reboot. Then you can edit them...

I tried this and no joy

I have modified mine a couple times as i once was having mms issues - what exactly happens when you change yours?

Did mine yesterday, didn't have LTE only 3G.
From the settings icon I went in with DATA enabled, if disabled if wasn't able to make any changes.

If I'm on the T-Mobile unlimited what APN settings can I choose from?
I know when I had straight talk I could change back and forth between Straight Talk and one or two other ones but I don't know anything about T-Mobile and the different APNs you can use
LG V20 - NATF 5.0 - Magisk 13

Multiple APNs?

I use my DNA primarily on VZW but recently added a TMobile SIM card to my international travel kit. I found out the DNA is SIM unlocked so I jammed it in, set the APN settings and all was dandy. Phone worked very well.
Problem is, NOW I go back to the VZW SIM and the Verizon APN settings will not stick. I input the settings and save but then it retains the TMo settings.
I have signal bar but it won't get to internet or send/receive MMS. no 4G icon in the bar.
Anyone have experience with this?
Is there an app that allows me to easily switch between multiple APNs? It appears only one is saved at a time.
Does anyone else use multiple SIMs on any android devices and have suggestions on how to maintain this?
Stock Rooted with S-Off.
Steps taken:
Reboot, Clear Dalvic, Clear Cache
in APN click on 'Reset to default', the VZWINTERNET shows until I exit the screen, when I return it's TMobile settings
BTW: I have already tried suggestions here and it never saves. It will not add another APN. As soon as I go out and back in the new APN is gone.

[Q] Unable to use mobile data with my SGS3 (Need APN Config)

A week or two ago I updated to the latest version of the Resurrection Remix Rom. It seems this wiped my APN settings as I needed to use my mobile data today only to find that nothing was happening (no icons appearing in the status bar). The thing is, the link on the T-Mobile website that sends the text with APN settings to your phone doesn't work. I have tried manually setting the APN settings using different sources, but none of them work. To double check, I restarted my phone after each change, but still, nothing.
I am based in the UK and I'm on T-Mobile. Does anyone have a working APN config for T-Mobile that I can use?
Thanks in advance!

You can call T-Mobile and request APN for your device. In most countries, the carrier can also send a config sms that sets up the APN.
Also please make sure that Mobile Data is set to ON. It is overlooked in so many cases.
PS: Was your phone carrier-locked?
Name: everywhere
APN: everywhere
Leave everything else blank.
I'd guess you have other problems than just APN settings, try a full wipe and flash again.

[SOLUTION] LS990 with Fulmic's ROM data/mms not working solved

The issue is that it the APN database is populated with garbage apns, they don't work at all. First you have to get this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.appando.app.changeApn&hl=en
Yes yes it looks very sketchy but it works around the issue of not being able to get in to the APN settings.
You have to follow these instructions to clear the apns (because you can add new ones but it won't prioritize them if there are the originals):
https://forum.fairphone.com/t/how-do-i-uninstall-an-apn-giffgaff-apn-settings/5834
After that, just go back to the change APN app and create two new APNs: One for mms and one for internet (data). You need to use these APN settings: https://apn.gishan.net/settings/769_20_sprint_apn_settings_for_lg_g3.php (MMS)
https://apn.gishan.net/settings/769_21_sprint_apn_settings_for_lg_g3.php (Internet/Data)
After doing this do you have to toggle airplanemode to get data to kick in after reboots?

Possible to get Sprint LTE on AOSP Roms?

I am currently running a V30+ on Sprint's network using the latest Resurrection Remix build. No matter what I do, I cannot manage to get LTE working. Sprint's LTE Internet APN selected and for network typed, I have CDMA + LTE/EvDo. I tried selecting only LTE, but I would not get any service even after reboots.
I've also tried the following steps:
1.) Flash AOSP ROM and make a backup
2.) Go back to Sprint Stock Rom
3.) Go through the setup process and wait until phone is connected and LTE is working.
4.) Restore AOSP backup
And still no LTE. What else can I do? Flash modem or would I have to edit build.prop?
Yes, it's very possible. I've gotten it working on the Aosip unofficial before. What made the LTE work for me was replacing the rom's modem with Sprint's official modem for the V30.

I will try that right now!
EDIT: It did not work. When I switch to LTE under network mode it gets stuck on searching for service.

You have to enter your carrier's APN settings manually.

I actually couldn't get lte as well until I tried the latest versions of lineage and now I'm on dotos. Just changed the apn settings and everything is working great. Took a few minutes after initial install was only getting 3g but after a couple of messages and a phone call lte started to work.

Question, did you flash Lineage and waited until you got LTE and then dirty flashed DotOS? Or did you do a clean install of DotOS?
Also, what do you have selected as Preferred Network Type?
EDIT: Ignore those questions, all is working perfectly fine! Thank you so much, just had to edit the APN's. I believe I was using old ones and that's why I wasn't getting LTE! Thank you so much!

Delete the MMS proxy and port from APN. It should show "not set" for MMS port and proxies after. Also change network from "global" to "CDMA/LTE evdo". Hope this helps
Edit: Look a few post above yours the APN should look exactly like that

Ah yeah it was the mms proxy and port causing an issue; removed those and was able to send an mms just fine, thanks!
So do you have to flash the Sprint modem or will just editing the APN's do the trick?
I'm just looking for a rom with working LTE and wifi tethering working, any suggestions?

Depends on the ROM. Most AOSP you just have to edit APN's. Depending on the stock ROM, you will need to flash modem and then edit APN's.

Any specific rom you can recommend? Every AOSP rom I've tried doesn't let me add dun. I'm back on stock now have it working, but still not as good as when I was on my pixel. For example, Netflix won't work on my TV and it won't let me chromecast it from my phone. Which kinda sucks. YouTube casts fine. I've kinda accepted it, but it would be nice to have it working.

I have never used dun or any casting tools/software. I'm currently running the EXTENDED AOSP ROM. Running buttery smooth and with no problems.

I just flashed the latest LOS 16 build but I am unable to edit apn's Anyone got Sprint LTE working on LOS16?
I cant get any pie lineage based room to get LTE. Can't even edit APN's
If anyone can help with this I would appreciate it. There is some Sprint specific bits not included with our Los base that other devices LOS 16 have like the sprint.dm apk.
But at a minimum we should be able to set the proper apns

Same thing been happening to me recently, is this something up with Sprint's end? IDK I asked about this happening a month ago and no one really seemed to have answers on the lgv30 chat. I can get APN settings to show up by removing the SIM card. and editing them then but even then my settings don't stick across reboots. I can usually get messaging to work by calling myself but that also doesn't stick.

Sprint Hotspot Hack

Bad news, the LTE functionality test hack used to edit apns on S9 and older phones doesn't work anymore. But good news is, if you know your MSL (all 0's for unlocked), you can create new APNs. Just dial ##3282#, put in your MSL, click APN Settings, and create a new APN with the same settings as APN2 LTE ... internet, but add dun at end of APN type.
You cannot modify the APN once you save it, but if you make a mistake, go to general management, reset, reset network settings to remove the APN you added and fix any problems.
Enjoy
EDIT: Updating profile deletes the APN so you should get used to creating new APNs frequently.

I do not believe so but I have not been able to verify yet. I can verify that it does switch APN because mobile data cuts off for a min when you switch to the one you made, and a similar procedure on the S9 did not count on my tethering data. I get 50gb and it didn't count at all, just my normal data. I will test with this new one though.

Just call andtell them you want it if they ask for what tell them you're a developer
Add button is greyed out... I am not unlocked, I used 6, 0's but it let me hit Ok
Hope to find better solutions.
Thanks this worked for me hopefully it sticks without profile getting updated.
How did you edit this my phone will not allow me to edit this its grayed out. I try to add a d it dose nothing
works. :good:
how to get "enhanced LTE" working? so LTE stay connected while on voice call?
It seems that after the new update, I can not change it to my new added apn. Anyone could help?
I just called Sprint and they have me all 0's as my MSL. So means I'm unlocked and I didn't even know. Unless they lied. I'm about to find out when I try this hack.
Update: boo add option is grayed out. I didn't take this newest update and I thought that was the update that prevented adding APN.
If I reset will it reset to the original software version I had when I initially bought phone or the last update?

It will reset to your current update. You could flash older though, as long as the bootloader's haven't changed, which I believe hasn't but could be wrong.

Thanks. I'm going to look for the version I had when I bought my phone 3/12/19.
I think that Hotpot is included with my Sprint plan. Yip I think it's 50gb hotspot.
Disregard.
Following along... MSL 0's, cant "add" anything... I rarely use the hotspot, but at times I *need* it.
Any idea if anyone has broken this yet? I’m in the same boat where even with my MSL the edit functions are greed out.
is this still working?
esqueue said:
I'm on the most recent update, Got it only a few days ago. I purchased the phone outright from Bestbuy and my MSL seems to be all zeros. I was able to successfully enable wifi hotspot. This was one of the main reason I rooted my phones in the past. I know that this will be patched out eventually but it's awesome at the moment though.

would love to know if sprint folks still have the workaround for the wifi hotspot. I'm sitting on an unlocked S10 that I haven't shoved my SIM card in yet because I absolutely need the hotspot sometimes...
