Visual Voicemail only with LTE APN, not Phone

Don't have LTE, so I created an APN for phone, gives me faster speeds with ATT and lets me use Onlive (blocked using the original APN). Noticed however visual voicemail only works with the LTE APN. any way to add it to my custom one?
Don't have a response to your question but I'm curious how you got the new APN to stick? On mine when I created another APN but it just keeps on defaulting to the "pta" APN.
My understanding visual voice mail is exclusively for LTE network. In fact, if you switch to LTE plan and go back to regular plan, you might endup with disabled voice mail.

I have no problem adding new APN and use it...
I wasn't aware there was a separate LTE plan?
That is strange. I wonder why I cannot set up an additional APN to connect to. Whenever it's selected, I can watch it get switched back after a few seconds...
Yeah, basically it's the same plan just has LTE in it's name.
If you have SQLite Edit (or something similar), you could try alter the APN manually.

I had the same issue with the phone APN not sticking. I followed the instructions from a thread in the Skyrocket forum about throttling that said to use phone for the APN name, internet for the APN type and leave everything else blank or default. How I ended up solving it was using the MMSC, MMS proxy, MMS port, and APN type entries from the pta APN and using them in the phone APN and after that phone APN would stick.
Also, I too am unable to get Visual Voicemail on the phone APN.
Thanks! I can't believe I didnt think about trying that. I just created the phone APN with the same settings as PTA and it works. I'm back on regular HSPA+ speeds since I'm not in an LTE area. For what its worth, visual voicemail works just fine for me.
Evening-
I too had some issues with the VVM not working and couldn't figure out why...even tried to use YouMail with no luck and finally logged into my account and reset the password for my V-Mail. I then re-set up the stock ATT VVM, deleted the forwarding YouMail installs and everything worked like a charm again.
I too setup the alternative APN (not in the LTE Market) and it stuck just fine...maybe try resetting the password/pin and see if that works. Good luck!

[Q] LTE Bell dies if using other roms?

I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this and this only happens after a period of time where the LTE will just stop working but if you switch to CDMA it's working fine?
To go a step further I've wiped the phone and restored to stock. Once that's done LTE is working fine.
To go further again, I grabbed a different ROM and the exact samething happens, I'll be able to be on LTE for about a day and then the service stops and if I switch it to CDMA I'm good.
Just wondering if anyone else here has noticed that.
Cheers,
did you verify your APN settings?
i'm using a Bell version GN2 but on Fido and i can flash all day everyday and 4g has always worked.

The APN settings are always the same with Bell. They don't change.
HSPA+ will work but LTE will die after a little while. (This only occurs on other ROMS). If I stay on the stock rom there's no problem.

On a different note... I noted that if I have SAMBA Fileshare on I have strange things that happens DATA wise.... I'm still looking into it and dropping logcat and looking at different possibility.
At this point it's looking like something with the SMB Fileserver I have on the phone. (Will know later on)

im not saying the bell apn has changed but ive found that sometimes when flashing roms, the apn settings arent included in the rom and have to manually be entered.
This happened alot when using my galaxy s2 lte.

[Q] ported sprint s3 to straighttalk but no internet

I ported my Sprint Galaxy S3 over to ST with the BYOP program. Calling and texting are fine, I can even receive mms but I can't send out mms and there's no internet connection. I've been on the phone countless times with ST, they always tell me to update my profile and prl..... which is strange because my 3G signal pops up when updating but disappears when its done. Can anyone assist me with this issue? Do I have to update apn settings or something?

Those are for phones with SIM cards, my phone is a CDMA phone. Will it still work the same??
I wasn't directing you to the Sim card solution per say. I was thinking maybe, some of the other trouble shooting options might help you. Have you tried Updating the APN Settings ? You could try ##72786# , but I'm not sure if that will work on ST.

Yes I changed the APN and dialed ##72786#, the 3G sign popped up for updating but disappeared once it was done
So can you actually access the internet ? But have no indicator that your connected. Or you have no data at all ? Can you send SMS / MMS ? What Rom are you running ?

I can't access the internet, no indicator and no data..... I can send sms but I can't send mms. I'm not sure what rom I'm using. Is Rom like jellybean??? And I rooted my galaxy with twrp root thing.
Fox you flash a Rom ? I'm just trying to narrow things down. Make sure it's not a Rom issue.

Yes through Odin. But even before I rooted my device and didn't change the APN..... the same thing happened.
Sounds to me that your APN is not set correctly. Have you double check it. They offer a guide on how your APN settings should be. I had to do that with my brothers AT&T GS3 and after I set the APN I had to call them back to give them the serial # of the Sim card for them to activate it and then restarted the phone and everything works.
Granted it was a GSM GS3 but jus trying to help.
Did you have it programed to Straight Talk or did you go to their website and have them to set it up?
Be now I noticed they offer CDMA service byop. I was thinking of trying that this Friday

FIXED! - No LTE

Hey guys. I'm kinda stuck here. I am getting no LTE service on my phone at all. Of course those idiots at straight talk keep saying im provisioned for it but nope, not getting it. I tried everything I can think of from factory resetting to apn settings and nothing. When I go into my network it bounces between HSAP and HSPAP but no LTE. I live in an LTE service area and was getting LTE up to about a week ago but then suddenly it was gone. Any ideas as to what I can do?
Can ask what are your APN settings?

The ones ST gave me.
Name - Straight Talk
APN - tfdata
MMSC - http://mms-tf.net
MMS proxy - mms3.tracfone.com
MMS port - 80
I don't understand what's goin on. It just doesn't work anymore for some reason. And ST troubleshooting is non existent. All they tell you is to put in those apn settings and it should work. Well it isn't dumbasses!....lol
Also port :80 . I have straight talk too. Your apn looks right
My wife has the Optimus g and her LTE is working just fine. WITH the same APN settings! The last thing I remember doing was going through the hidden service menu but I didn't change anything in there. There is nothing you can change in there to make your LTE stop working. I know with some phones you can but not with the OGP.

It's been over a week mervingio. And as I said, My wife's LTE is working fine on her Optimus G.

Ok guys. I got the issue resolved. I used this method here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351041
The only issue I had was for some reason I couldn't manually edit the build.prop. I had to install JRummies Rom Toolbox Lite and that did the trick.It's so nice to have my LTE back!
Thanks for the link. Always liked to manually set to 2g or 4g when lte was weak. One reason I always installed custom roms and didn't stick to stock.

Personally I don't worry too much about it. Being on stock with this phone gets great battery life. So no need to turn off the LTE to conserve battery.

Straight Talk data issues with custom roms using 4g LTE Verizon sim

Greetings everyone!
Signed up so that I can hopefully help someone else in need with their LG G3 phone using the Straight Talk 4G LTE Verizon sim card.
After many hours of flashing roms and trying out various things, it turns out for some reason other variants of the stock roms like Bliss Pop, CoudyG3, and Skydragon will not work with the data. I can still use my phone and make calls and i can still get text messages and even pictures sent through text messages, but for the life of me data would NOT work.
The only rom that did work again was the Jasmine rom. To my understanding it works pretty close to the stock verizon rom that comes with the LG G3. After the flash, BOOM! Everything worked and data came back to life.
I noticed the APN settings is very very different but this rom wont let you go in it to see it's settings. Surely there is a way to import/export the APN data to push on over to another custom rom? Just weird that after putting this specific custom rom data happily worked again.
BTW, if anyone tries to activate a verizon lg g3 with straight talk, be careful. Though their stupid website said that the phone was already registered with another tracfone provider/service, I was still able to get the phone to work. If after entering your MEID/EMI or whatever the numbers are and the straight talk website spits it back out at you, CALL straight talk. I got screwed and used up the network access code which somehow got lost into oblivion, but turns out that they themselves can manually add the Verizion 4G LTE sim card with the network access code card. (I bought the 4g LTE sim card package from wal mart). As long as the phone is in good standing, it will work!
Thanks. Hope this helps someone else out trying to get it to work with straight talk. I will try and see if there is a way to export this APN setting. I was told by straight talk that you don't need an APN set, but i think they are lying.
Peace!
solved
Back again,
Happy to report im using skydragon Rom with straight talk. Turns out you do in fact need to set the apn in the settings. Just add this apn
acct.tf.gw6.vzwentp
This is the apn for the Verizon 4g lte sim card when you use it. I didn't have to reset the phone but now data works great.
Hey question. I have a Straight Talk S3 currently running CM 11 kitkat based rom and things work great but I found other roms I want to install one of them being a Pac-Man custom rom but I have no data. I have a Verizon CDMA 4G LTE sim coming in acouple days just need the apn settings. Could anyone help me out with this? Thanx in advance for any help.

Surely it is the same APN setting as above. Try it out once you get your Sim card. Also, that S3 being a different phone may pick up on the access point names when you try another rom and set itself up, but if data is still not working, then try that APN I posted on the first post.
Also, be careful that you are actually connecting at LTE speeds as long as your area has it. Flashing to another rom I was only connecting at 3G. Turns out that once I tried another rom, you have to set the preferred network to LTE, then give the phone a reset. It took it a moment after reboot, but LTE finally showed up.
Depending on your phone, there are other settings to be set in it's hidden menu settings using the phones dialer. Just google around.
Hope this helps!
