I just bought a used DINC2 with the intentions of using it on Page Plus. I've factory reset the phone and it's running stock Gingerbread 2.3.4. I've noticed that the phone is always showing the roaming indicator. (I currently use an LG VX5500 flip phone on Verizon and it is never in roaming.) So, I've tried dialing *228, option 2 to update the PRL as I've seen mentioned but it's always unsuccessful (it dials but then comes back with a message that it was unsuccessful - probably because the phone isn't currently activated). I'm afraid to activate service on the phone if it has a problem and I can't call Verizon support to help because it's not activated with Verizon. Will activating the phone likely fix the problem? Any suggestions?
So the phone isn't activated but you see the roaming symbol because possibly it's trying to find an active Vetizon signal. Once activated n it knows the signal I'm 94.6% sure it won't be roaming anymore.
Sent from my forgotten by HTC Droid Incredible 2. Kept alivw by great minds at XDA that haven't forget this phone.
I went ahead and activated the phone with Page Plus and roaming is gone now. The phone must have lost it's programming because when I activated it, there was a list of things that got programmed (including the PRL). I activated another phone and it didn't do any of that on activation. Anyway, long story short, activated the phone and roaming is gone!
Hi, last night i flashed my sprint lg g2 stock/rooted phone to cricket using DFS, called up cricket and had them switch to the new flashed phone, and since i have not been able to get data 3g or even 1x on the phone.
I have flashed several phones and never encountered this problem, but this is my first LG phone, Rest were samsung and HTC
Texting and Calls work Great
It constantly lets me know "Mip 67" "Mip 111" and "Unable to Establish a wireless data connection" .
I have searched everywhere and although i can similar people with the problem, all are on sprint.
I have gone through DFS settings many times, reflashing, and nothing is seeming to work or stick
Any help or guidance would be much appreciated, an andorid phone without any internet might as well be a flip phone
Have you tried updating your profile while on WiFi?
A lot of ROMs for the g2 require this

update the data profile? i do click update when the mip error pops up, but it always fails..
ive done *228 multiple times, but doesnt get the 3g going
Are you connected to WiFi. I'm on sprint so I'm guessing. What band does cricket use?

yes, whether im connected to wifi or nothing it gives error.. this is normal with sprint optimized apps when on a flashed cricket phone though.. sprint connection optimizer wont work for all the right reasons... ok i made progress, got 3g, reflashed with simple ip only, no mobile ip. and i get 3g, but not consistant.. but its about progress not perfection! still open to help and advice to solidify this rocky connection
edit: anyone know how to edit the apn settings?? I go to settings and all, i can see yhe apn settings but cannot edit them... first time ever for me on that one

i wish it was that simple. He has a cricket sim card and somehow able to edit his apn settings.
on mine, its a sprint ls980, still has a sprint sim card in it..
update on whats ive notice over the day.. Itll randomly connect to '3g', but when you go to settings and status, its only really 1x.. mobile state is usually saying its 'connecting', once it does connect data drops out..
from what i believe, its still trying to connect to spring network for 3g, but will use cricket for 1x. might have something to do with the sim card, but i have popped it out to see what happens and it still as sketchy as before.

We have a Galaxy Note 2 from ATT now. Just upgraded, so we're not using it. We want to take it to Europe to use as a phone and a hotspot for our computers on our trip. I've read that people do that with unlocked Androids and a European SIM.
I was able to unlock the phone with no problem using a data only T-Mobile SIM card in the process. The problem is that I can't turn the Mobile Hot Spot on. I've tried with the valid data only T-mobild SIM installed. When I try to turn the hotspot on, it says that either the network is not available, or there's an invalid SIM. I'm worried that it's the ATT restrictions on the phone that aren't going away even if the phone is unlocked, and there's a different SIM in place.
Does anyone know what we have to do to enable the hotspot, so that this phone can be used in Europe?
Thanks.
Try with wifix.apk

Thanks. That looks like a good app to fix problems connecting to external wifi sources. However, I want my phone to BE the wifi source when in Europe. Still looking for a solution.

The thing that sticks out to me is that you actually need the correct Sim card that is provisioned for phone service.. I'm assuming this "data only sim" was provisioned for a tablet and therefore can't make any calls... the network unavailable message will show up even with no Sim installed and trying to enable a hotspot. You need a valid cell service in order to hotspot.
Hope Getting the Right SIM will do it.

Thanks. I hope that's what the problem is. It would make things simpler to be sure. I just didn't want to get there and then find out it wasn't going to work. In the meantime, I found my old Galaxy S 3. I managed to unlock it, root it, and install basic ROM. Thought maybe that would work, as well. I'll know by next week.
hello everyone
so i've recently bought lg g3 phone model LGLS990
everything works just fine until i go into mobile networks and change the preferred network to LTE
when i do that i lose my phone signal and all i can do is emergency calling, it's like there is no sim card inserted anymore
and when that happens i can't even change the preferred network to gsm again
but before i've done that i could've used phone for calling and messaging and internet but internet wastes my credit tho i've got a data plan and it's way too slow
i think this is related to my threat each time i turn on the phone a dialog box appears says: "hands free activation contacting network"
a couple of seconds then it fails and there is an option that says activate when ever i click it, it tries to reach my mobile network provider i suppose but then it fails too showing this message: "Sorry - we experienced a system problem during your task. please dial *2 from your Sprint phone or call Customer Care at 1-888-211-4727 from another phone to complete your task."
**im pretty sure that the sim is okay since i use it on my old galaxy s3 phone and i use 3g just fine
**i've tried to change the preferred network to all of the options listed
**i bought it new but the seal wasn't on the box tho it couldn't be used i guess since the screen sticker was on it
**the one i bought it from have brought it from another country but it's not shown that the phone is locked, i've never used a phone with a locked sim so i really don't know how is it like :/
**when ever i open sim toolkit i find the network provider's name there but when i click on it it keeps loading and nothing happens
**the android version is kitkat 4.4.2
sorry for any language mistake and sorry for my modest knowledge
please reply asap so i can try to contact the guy i bought the device from and try to get back my money if it's unsolvable issue
thanks in advance
Hi so after I fixed a customer's note 10 plus that had a completely borked and shattered display I decide to put my SIM card in it and restart the device to make a test phone call to make sure everything works before calling the customer telling him his phone is ready. Everything checks out however after I started to notice that the T-Mobile boot screen gets replaced with the Verizon boot screen some junk apps download automatically. Also an error message pops up saying "This is not a Verizon SIM card in this device" whenever a non Verizon sim card is in the note 10 plus which I couldn't get rid of doing everything in the software troubleshooting book (reset network settings, change some cellular settings, factory reset, called cricket and Verizon, etc.) and nothing worked. Didn't really bother the customer but after a week the customer's phone loses all ability to make and receive phone calls/texts, every time you try it just says "this phone is not registered with this network." I tried factory resetting the device and even flashing T-Mobile firmware into it using Odin and still, same bull**** results as before. My question is, has this happened to anyone else here and if so has anyone ever fixed this problem? Uuugghhh.
