I seem to have an issue with my AT&T LG Optimus G Pro E980, i cant get data, my APN directory is empty and cant seem to add an APN it will just not save! anyone else have this issue or know what i can do? thanks!
Was it working for you previously on your G Pro? I had this happen with cyanogen 10.1 on a different phone and also with a SIM card that was locked to tracfone. I haven't had any problems with my APN settings with my straight talk at&t sim card though.

Ok well seems i've solved the problem, if APN is not entered exactly it will not save at all. so ya, basically i pulled a serious noob move on this one :laugh:
EDIT: Oh and im getting full Rogers LTE here in canada now with the proper LTE settings on the AT&T E980
Glad to hear it was an easy fix!

hey, anyone help me? f180s 20d just can use 3g network...
What is your phone model number
Sent from my LG-E971 using xda app-developers app
Pretty sure you have to setup your APN's again in mobile network settings. Jellybean will wipe your phone completely if you didn't backup your phone settings before. Check what the APNs are for your service provider,
I've been running Xylon Rom for some time without any data/internet issues. This morning I unplug my phone and there is no data service. I can make/receive calls and texts but have no data/internet service.
I spoke with AT&T about my issue but they were unable to resolve it and recommended I get a new sim card.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks
Did you check your APN? Maybe try rebooting the phone. It shouldn't just disappear for no reason.

YEP! Thank you! I wonder what caused it to switch like that on its own. Again, thank you!
Glad you got it working

Just a trick for future issues...
Go into your APN settings and create a duplicate APN of the one you use in a new location. Then dump the APN's you don't use.
Xylon is clearly a CM variant build, and contains 3-4 extra APN's already yes ?
Dump the ones you don't use, and leave the one you do, then create the duplicate.
That way, the system only has the correct APN to use, and will still function if it reverts to the alternate APN......g

Try the update.
your lte settings are still wrong you know that right? and some of those carriers dont use sprint network... so your network numeric is also wrong, oh yea and stealing someone elses script and just changing the names is not cool. while we do appreciate you working out the mms addresses for other carriers giving credit where credit is due is a must and there is more to it than that

So I just flashed the newest update and all my APNs are gone. I'm on 4.3 Stock Deodexed ROM.
this isnt the stock version i dont think, it seems he grabbed our cm/aosp version. if youre using virgin mobile though you are in luck, the original mod is over at androidforums

I ported my phone to straight talk from sprint and my data is working but the speeds are very slow. Straight talk told me to manually enter APN settings they provided me but it's not where it is supposed to be under the mobile networks settings. LG support told me it should be there and if it's not that Sprint has removed, hidden or disabled it. Does anyone know how to access APN settings on this phone?

I'm not sure because Ive never had to do it on this phone. I know Sprint has removed/hidden/disabled it. Certain 3rd party messaging apps will allow you to change the apn settings but I dont think it's system wide. I'm not by my phone currently so I cant test this right now but we do have a hidden menu. From your phone dial 3845#*970# to access the hidden menu.
If apn settings aren't in there you could always try a different rom. You would have to be rooted and unlocked with a custom recovery but most of them will allow you to change the apn settings. If you go that route, head over to the original development section for our phone and read the root guide by engine95 found there VERY CAREFULLY. Sorry if this isn't much help but like I said, Ive never had to do this because I'm still on Sprint Stock.
I tried some apps but they don't work on android 4+ they say and I've tried some secret menus with no success. Can't remember if I tried that one or not. Ill check real quick. I am rooted but I've been hesitant to switch Rome since stock works so well but I may have to look into it. Can anyone recommend a hassle free rom?

Yeah I tried that menu before. Didn't see it.

Yeah I was worried it wouldnt be in there. Most roms have some slight issues, I prefer stock myself and have been modifying it manually. Cyanogenmod 10.2 is probably your best bet though. It's based on Android 4.3, CM 11 is 4.4 based and mostly smooth but still not labeled as stable.
EDIT: Just make sure you make a full backup of what you have now in TWRP. I'd use TWRP 2.5.0.0 btw. Backup all partitions so if something goes wrong you can restore it back. And follow the install directions for CM precisely. Good luck!
try thisOffline SIM APN Database Otherwise consider using a custom rom or even a stock variant.
I'm not sure that database will help me since Sprint is cdma, but also I already have the correct apn settings from straight talk. My phone just doesn't doesn't have the option to input them thanks to Sprint. Cell providers really need to stop locking people in at this point. If your services were good and your price was competitive then people would stay with you, without the gimmicks. Sorry to rant I'm just really sick of all the cat and mouse games of unlocking a phone. I think I probably will just use a custom rom since my phone won't have anymore limitations after that, but that is still more work than I wanted to do just to change apn settings. Thanks for the feedback guys!

I have heard of other apps not having much luck with changing apn settings for us. Even tho I dont currently need it, thanks for the heads up!
It didn't change it for me. It said ICS or later prevents it but it did allow me to open the menu which was good enough for me. Still having a problem where after a reboot it keeps creating the sprint apn after I delete it but I figure that's baked into this stock rom somehow. Prob still be switching roms but I will play with it some more. It also keeps trying to reactivate on sprint but I was glad to at least see the menu. If it were not for some clever sprint engineers that app would have worked perfectly.

How can I disable LTE. I have tried a few suggestion from this site, and havent got it to work. I am not tech savvy at all.
I went and got at&t service in December 2013 and bought the LG G2 phone and loved the phone. Everything was great with
The phone, data speed and connections until April 12th. I was not able to load any web page, and when on facebook it would
not update the page. It would tell the that I was not connected to the network, when I had all 5 signal bars. I also noticed that it also
now said LTE under the 4G. So they sent me another phone (lg g2) and I still had the same problem, so I then went and got a new
sim card, and that did not fix it either. So they sent me another phone. So now I have the LG OPTIMUS PRO E980 . I also figured out
that the only time I am able to use data is while I am on a phone call. And when i make a call, it changes from 4g LTE to just 4G. So
I called at&t to ask them how to disable LTE and they told me that they couldnt tell me how to do it because they dont support it.
I work from home, and use my phone for work, so this is really hurting me. What isbreally weird is that I have a tower about 1/4 mile
from my house. I am sorry for such a long post. I am not tech savvy either, so alot of whatvyall talk about, I have no clue what
it means, lol. Like rooted, bricked and flashed. HELP PLEASE! Thank you in advance.
Under settings, mobile data, is there a place to select "preferred network type"? I remember it being there.
On cm11 it can be selected, either LTE, 3g, or 2g.

Hello, and thank you for the response Abumy.
Yes, the option is there, but it is greyed out
and will not let me select it.
Anymore suggestions, please??
Thanks so much
Have you tried changing the APN.
Its in setting/tethering & networks/mobile networks/access point name..
Once there click your menus button and add Apn..
Input the info listed below. One of these should accomplish what u want. Oh and make sure after you enter the apn to hit menus and save.

There is an an app that will let you set it to 3g, but it seems to require root on some devices:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cc.signalinfo.
On some att phones dialing *#*#4636#*#* can give one access to these settings too.
I am not running stock and not on att, so I cannot test it.

What about APN'S for the LG G2 phone? I have to
send one of the 2 phones back, and I would much
rather keep the LG G2, if I could figure a way out to
not have to use LTE. I really appreciate everyones help
here!!!
The apn would be pretty much the same wouldn't it?
