I have a Thrill p925 here in the US and am trying to activate a GoPhone account. However, I can not make any phone calls. I am assuming that the issue is with the APNs. Under the APN settings screen, no APNs are listed. When I try to add any of the AT&T APNs, still none show up. Using APNBackpRestore to backup the APNs, shows that there are a large number stored in the phone - they are just not showing up in the settings screen.
I am using CyanoenMod. I have tried both the nightly and stable builds from cyanogenmod.
Thanks!

I know the Sprint Note II doesn't allow you to change the APN settings, but I can't figure out a way to do it all; even with the phone rooted. Has anyone managed to do this? I can upload new APN settings using APN back up and restore, but I can't select them as my APN. Thank you!
I see in the ##DATA# menu, click Edit, type your MSL, Others > LTE APN Settings. This has the eHRPD, LTE, and Global Roaming APNs. you cant edit those, but you can delete them. That might be where you can select your own if they show up?
I have a rooted phone. I changed my phone number about a year ago. My phone has had no problems, none that I noticed, until a couple months ago. I noticed that I couldn't send MMS. I read a lot of threads about the source of the problem being the APN settings. I tried everything that I came across but no luck. Then I found out by looking in my settings that my phone is programmed with my old phone number. I saw some threads that said to try certain messaging apps to get the MMS to work but none of them did. I finally found an app that allows you to input a different phone number. I put in my newer phone number and now I can send MMS. I also found out that when I called my voicemail it called my old number. I had to go into my call settings and to the voicemail settings to change the number to my newer number. What can I do to program my phone with my newer phone number? I don't like the messing app that I'm using now. I want to go back to Go SMS Pro. I really liked it.

I am going to assume that you have sprint service. If you do, I know two options to get the phone info updated. If you have done nothing else to the phone other than root it and most likely you'll need to be on a stock ram than you can try this.
For the first option you'll need the phone MSL code.. dial it like this ##000000# (change zeroes with the MSL) than edit the phone number in the field and don't change the MSID unless you know what it is.
Second and the best in my opinion, is to try and do a hands free activation by dialing ##72786#.. this will reset the phone number information. After you do that, the phone will reboot and it will try to make hands free activation. *This option require internet access to get the updates. Incase your phone doesn't connect to 3g or 4g, connect it to wifi and it should update.
Please be careful and keep in mind that I assumed that you have sprint service and also using a stock rooted ram and have changed nothing on the device other than gaining root access.
I hope that helps.
I have 2 identical LG G4 (AT&T H810) phones that I am using with Straight Talk service. On one of them, I have never received a voicemail notification in the month that I have had it. If I dial in manually, I have messages. On the non-working phone, if I go into the voicemail settings, the "notification sound" option is grayed out. On the working phone, this option is enabled and can be modified.
Any ideas what to check? I am running the stock ROM, currently Android 6.0 build MRA58K.
I have only made one uncommon tweak to the phone. In the dialer app, the "Contacts" tab would ask me to set up AT&T contact backup. I found a way to get around this by the following which I found in a forum somewhere.
On the dialer, dial ##2666## and set "registration" to "completed".
Could this be causing an issue? Could this be an issue with APN settings? Keep in mind that I have 2 identical phones, and one works fine and one does not. I'm not sure where the difference lies.
Picked one up on Amazon and got all working for ATT except txt. Is there anyway to unlock APN settings?

Made an account just to say I've got the same exact issue, except with a foreign carrier (took it abroad to the UK--never ever had this bull**** issue with any non-Sprint LG phone). I know exactly what the issue is--on every other device I'm able to edit things like the APN type, but even in the ##3282# options with my phone's unlock code, I can't edit anything. The V50 Sprint unlocked version has also locked me out of wifi hotspot, which I was depending on to provide stable internet for laptop zoom meetings when my wifi goes down. No idea how to fix, but hoping someone knows..
EDIT: Hallelujah I figured it out.
Try:
"What you have to do is to "phone" *#*#4636#*#* You will get a page labelled Testing with three sub headings the top one is Phone information. Click on this and you get a lot of information; scroll down until you get to SMSC:. In here you have to put inverted commas followed by the telephone number of your SIM supplier (Get it from them - unless you can find it on the Internet) followed again by inverted commas. Click the update button and, in my case, it added a comma and 145 to the SMS number still in inverted commas. "
And then in your message app settings, in advanced settings you should do a custom SMSC (you can google what it is for your provider)
EDIT 2: Preemptive victory... It's really slow, and can only send to numbers with my exact country code (eg it won't work for texting the numbers you can get your balance from)
Thanks, but what is an "inverted comma"?
I am having issues with text messaging, and only text messaging at this time.
- I CANNOT receive text messages when my mobile network is on "AUTOMATIC" or "LTE/CDMA"
- I CAN receive text messages when I am in "CDMA ONLY"
- I CAN seem to send text messages on any network setting.
- Data seems to be working normal.
- I am unsure of incoming and outgoing calls, but seems to be normal.
Things I have done to combat the situation.
- Many "NETWORK RESETS"
- Had Sprint/T-Mobile do "NETWORK RESETS" on their end.
- Replaced SIM card and programmed it as needed with Sprint Tech Support and T-Mobile support.
- Booted and ran several days in "SAFE MODE" to eliminate any app issues.
- I have tried different texting applications
- I have taken my phone to an authorized Samsung dealer, UBreakIFix, and they went through the phone and say that the phone is in perfect condition and everything is working as it should.
I have done everything short of doing a factory reset.
Original purchase date is August of 2019.
Problems like these sometimes can be hard to pin down.
Could be needing a reprovision on your account. Bands not being selected. Blacklisted imei in some shape or form. The device in say like nam programming may be set to read CDMA based instead of gsm based or sim. My s8 had this issue when I went from CDMA to gsm.
Could be incorrect apn settings.
But it seems more like a carrier issue to me as everything else seems to be going ok for you. I would reach out to my carrier and aim for a account and device sim reprovision. Also doesn't Verizon still use that *228 or whatever to do over the air programming and roaming update. Maybe try that too

Try the LTE/GSM/UMTS setting and see what happens. I have a feeling that more people like you are going to be having problems because of the Sprint/T-Mobile merge. If possible, you should take it to a Sprint/T-Mobile store and see what they can do. They may tell you to do a factory reset. Because Sprint was CDMA/LTE and T-Mobile was GSM/LTE you may need to factory reset to connect to T-Mobile's networks as Sprint's gets shuttered.

He's a Sprint/T-Mobile subscriber. Any Verizon info won't help.
