i just bought the LG Optimus G f180k from ebay. It has android 4.0.4. Software version F180k 10k. seller claims it is an unlocked phone for international use, however when i insert my micro sim card it can only make emergency calls. how do i fix this? also, how do i get rid of the korean stuff, eg. my lockscreen has two clocks: one showing seoul's time and one showing my time, how do i get rid of the extra clock? I am completely new to android. im switching from iOS 6. Please understand if this is a stupid/"nooby" question.
Go into your data settings add see if your carriers APN in entered. I'm going to guess its not if only emergency calls are allowed. Or you may have been lied to and the phone is not unlocked.

APN settings not entered. Seller claims the phone is unlocked. The phone came with the olleh mark behind it and a bunch of olleh apps preinstalled. Olleh is a korean phone company. Does this mean the phone is locked to olleh? if so, what can i do to unlock?
try entering your apn settings manually

i finally got the phone to work i had to manually select my network under mobile networks instead of the automatic option. i have another problem however, i just updated to android 4.1.2 via LG mobile update tool and i have a korean keyboard. i tried changing the settings under language and input and it hasnt changed. what do i have to do to get rid of this keyboard? do i have to root phone then flash a custom 4.1.2 ROM?
Have you tried changing language settings to English and unchecking Korean if its checked?
I don't think the f180k has the correct LTE bands for outside Korea.
Where are you located?

Hi. Have you found a way to change your lockscreen yet? I have the same problem. Can't seem to find a way to change the lockscreen clock. It keeps showing local time and Seoul time no matter what I do. I tried everything under Lock Screen Settings including trying all the different Clock and Calendar options, deleted the entry for Seoul under the World Clock, fiddled around with my Network and Date and Time settings, and basically went through every other tab under Systems Settings. I have the exact same phone (Olleh LG F-180K) bought brand new and sealed from an online reseller and this is the only thing that's bothering me. Everything else is smooth as butter even without having updated to JB yet.

Ok... lets see if its help you:
First of all, BACK UP everything!!!
Root your phone, many ways to do.
try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181103
After that, go to playstore and install "root browser lite" app;
give it a root access;
go to system folder and at the end you'll see a file called "build.prop", make a copy of it.
in the original file, open it with "RB text editor";
find and change this lines:
Those lines bellow are examples, make changes thats suits you better.
ro.build.date=Fri Jan 28 00:43:20 CST 2013
ro.build.date.utc=1361983400
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US
I believe it will stick with your language and local time, after reboot your phone.
in other hand, you can try follow this tutorial to install the latest E975 LG Rom from KDZ.: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287236

Hi All,
After having HTC Windows mobile phones for quite a few years, i've gone to an Android Motorola Defy.
Its frustrating for me to get used to, I love the idea of Cab files and the simple installs. The .apk system seems to be the go, but my question relates to the Market.
Is there a market app for the Defy? If so is there any reason for it not to be there from the start?
I setup a google account, but there isnt a market in the launcher, i have been through searching for the vending.apk which another site had said was the market installer.
Tried downloading a market.apk file but it has a parsing error...
Used astro file manager searching everywhere for anything i thought could work.
What do i need to do?
Any info/suggestions welcome!
Cheers,
Nathan.
thats strange, what rom are u using?
Its a stock rom, literally only got the phone today!
From the about phone details
moto_version.2.54.0.mb525.Retail.en.ME1
firmware version 2.1-Update1
Kernel 2.6.29
I thought it was odd to be honest.
My mates HTC Desire worked out of the box...as many others seem to.
Ok,
I think i found a way round it, after a bit more searching i found a vending.apk that works on this rom.
Heres a link in case anyone has similar probs, there is an Apk file in the zip file in the system/app folder, running that on the defy it had an error on install but closed and restarted and all appears ok!
http://www.mediafire.com/?qacks5flbor595z
Correction, - all appears ok, but after trying to install one or two apps it comes up with an error.
the application market (processcom.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly please try again. (Force close)
this is a bit odd as it browses and does everything as normal untill it begins to download then crashes.
thats the first time i see 2.54 build
I thought 2.51 was the latest official
It seems that hard to know whats going on with it all the motoblur stuff and the customised roms, thats what i hated about the Xperia X2 with sony ericsson not releasing any substantial updates.
Most of the Defy's in Australia are the telstra next g (850mhz/2100mhz) I got a (900mhz/2100mhz) for use on Vodafone, and if i change to optus it will work on that.
I wouldnt mind seeing a Telstra version close up, might try checking them out at the telstra shop and see if they have the market.
Will keep mucking round with it, won't be long and i'll flash a new rom.
now thats strange ... any Android phone that meets google's system requirements, should have a market app "out of the box"...
Tried a few attempted solutions including a market enabler apk but no luck..
Anyone have any clues what i can do??
Very weird! I have never seen any android device without market app out of the box. Have you tried a reset to factory settings? Do you see the Market app in Settings--> Applications--> Application Management? (The translation may vary because I use defy in my native language).
the latest unofficial froyo v3.4.3-3 UK Tmobile Blur also not include market app

If you do find it listed here you may be able to use it with an app like "Better Cut" by creating a shortcut for it. Of course, you have to find a way of getting that app onto your phone, such SD card etc.

Narf, where did you buy the phone? I see complaints from some users about the same issue and when they called the manufacturer (in two cases from a Samsung forum) were told this:
"I spoke with Samsung tech support in the UK and based on my IMEI they determined the phone was grey market imported from the United Arab Emirates where the Market app was not installed. There was nothing they were prepared to do to remedy the problem. I'm returning the phone to eXpansys UK now. "
"Have just finished speaking to Samsung and based on the IMEI and firmware the phone is also from the UAE and they are unwilling/unable to support it. It was purchased from http://www.crescentelectronics.co.uk"
Quotes came from here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android Market/thread?tid=378157a41cd6df08&hl=en
In one post on this forum a UAE user was able to get market on his phone by changing his IMEI number.
Adding Android Market
Hi,
I don't know the specifics of you ROM version but like you, my Defy (on stock Froyo from China) did not have an official Market installed on it.
But I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896312
And I could easilly install the official market without any rooting needed and just by placing the update.zip file on my SD card and do the update by re-booting with Volume DOWN and power ON...
- - -
edit:
- controls are a bit weird on that mode: you have to press the volume up/down to select and the power key to accept.
- clear wipe the cache and the other option (can't remember the exact name of the 2 but it's clear and reset everything) after the update is successful and reboot your phone normally and you should now have the Google goodies [although google map is not the latest version available ...but probably updateable...].
Let me know if it worked! You can hit the "thank" button if it does ;-) [but real credits to the original guy on the link posted above]
edit end

Worth a try on yours...
Good luck!

1. i want to change my mms settings from root access because i cannot find any option in mobile phone
i am unable to send or receive mms
2. i want to change my Data Settings like mobile no, owner's name, emails and Internet settings APN or etc from root access..

i am using my phone in Pakistan, on UFONE Network
i have LG G2 LS980 Sprint Version
my phone is rooted and i have root browser installed as well
please help me to fix these questions
Thanks
Hello, welcome to a great site with loads of info on our model, plus 100's of other android models!
1. Get an APN app from the google playstore, such as Tweakker or Offline Apn, use it to get access to the APN menu then manually add the APN settings you need.
2. You can make changes in that ##DATA# menu, you just need to get your MSL #, when you hit edit, a box pops up, enter the MSL and it will allow you to edit these fields, I only changed 2 fields in that menu MMSC and Multimedia to my carrier.
Hope this helps you out, best of luck!

Thansk for the quick response and welcoming me.
i had installed tweakker but there is not pakistani networks available in that app and about offline APN can you tell me the exact name of the app please.
Thanks
no problem, cheers..... it is called Offline SIM APN Database, use the free version and hit the "search APN settings for this SIM" button, then pick a carrier (any will really work, just to get the menu) , then hit the "Go to Android APN Settings" button there a menu will pop up and you can add a new apn, enter your needed APN settings.

Thanks i have tried this app and it's not saving the apn setting saying problem in creating apn setting
and also tried APN Manager pro.. not working anyone. i i have i think there is not any option are working
it's saying " you are using Ice Cream Sandwich. change is this version no longer allow for the direct writing of APN settings. the setting found will need to be manual copy and pasted. click go to android apn settings. and create a new apn entry then press back button on your device and press the copy button next to the value on the screen. return to the apn entry and paste each value into the new apn one by one" .when i am going there nothing works there is not any option of creating new APN or anything.
find YOUR apn settings for YOUR carrier, open the APN settings menu, add NEW APN, fill out required fields, then you hit the menu button on your phone and choose SAVE APN, it will save and you will have a radio button next to the newly created APN!

I would not upgrade to kk 4.4.2 to fix this issue, I personally would look into changing radios, you might also try doing the SIM unlock tutorial look for the part about making APNs stick.
Are you sure you have root permissions? confirm with root checker, root with ioroot if not

Hey, I have a HTC Desire 816 (US) for Virgin Mobile. I like the Google Messenger and Hangouts app however I can't seem to send or receive MMS for either app. The stock Messages app works just fine. I've done some research and it appears I need to look into my APN settings. However, I have no idea how to get to those on the phone. The directions that are given lead to know where. Can anybody tell me how to fix this. Thank you.
You probably need to download an app from the play store, I think the one I used for CyanogenMod was called Change APN. Just opens the APN menu for you. Also, the one site I found with Virgin Mobile US APN details had it wrong. But if you're on CM 12, their pre-set APN for VM is correct, you just need to select it in the menu. For the Sense-based ROMs, they don't seem to have it by default.

Thanks for trying to help. I am currently on stock rom and it appears that Virgin Mobile has the APN on lock down. I have not found a way changing it and getting it to work. Everytime I try to add a new apn with CHANGE APN app it says saved but doesn't add it. The one that's in there has a locked symbol on it. It could be because I am on stock rom. However I am rooted and S-Off, I still can't change it. I haven't tried CyanogenMod because I want a fully functional phone. Anybody else have any ideas. All I want to do is use hangout or google messenger with MMS and it work. I think it stupid that its included on the phone and it's not even fully functional. I can get chompsms to work but it has it's own apn settings.

There is another app available here on XDA that worked when my S6 was on version 5, but doesn't work on version 6 now. Bummer...
can't we restore it using xposed??
Ive looked the past few days. I havnt seen anything about a data toggle. That one worked for me on 5.1.1 stock rom quickpanelrestore.apk v1.3. once i was on the teamspr rom that didnt work.
Dont lose hope there is another way to get it with sqlite editor. Im still a nooby justa flashing stuff lol but ive read about that somewhere.
Any solutions guys?
Same problem as me. Is there anyone have a solution?

Same problem here, any solutions yet?
Well theres gota be a way i see other model S6's on MM roms with a nice data toggle lol. I WILL ask the rom makers how they got those extra toggles
Hey guys.
Facing same problems in Canadian Galaxy S7 Edge. No Data toggle at all. Bought a quick panel setting with edge, Mobile Data toggle shows up there but unfortunately clicking it takes you to the Data Usage.
Contacted Samsung and they say that the Canadian S7 Edge does not have this feature and it cannot be fixed!! C'mon Samsung!!

Download that compressed file and extract, install the APK.
I can't verify that it will work for you as I already have the toggle, but people did report that it worked.
I can't install this app on my Canadian S7 Edge.
It installs fine, phone reboots, new lock screen shows up but then it reboots back by itself with the old lock screen...
any solutions?
Though it pops up with saying "The device will restart" & there is no option but to click "okay". And then finally it reboots with old skin
