Hi,
I'm with Videotron using a Internet USB stick SIM card and I can't find a way to connect to their data network.
I don't have any issue with any roms based on the official 2.3 release.
On the other roms all I have to do is change the apn to "ihvm.videotron" and everything is good but no luck so far on CM7.
Also I have a reception (2 bars right now) but 4G never connects
Any clue?
Thanks
Figured that the APN edditing was not considered. I openned the zip and modified the apn config file (/system/etc/apn-config.xml) in it then flashed and it finally worked.

I've did the QPST setting changes do it and I have Talk Text and 1X internet working but 3G and MMS still remain a mystery to me even though I've changed the APNs on this sucker.
Another thing to note is that when I edit the PPP AN username, it reverts back to the sprint username instead of the one I edited it to cricket. The UM actually sticks but not the AN.
been trying to figure this out for a while. Then I may just dump this rom so no one else has to bother with such a hassle
Any progress yet I'm trying to find the info on doing the same?
I have made progress, I'm down to just figuring out how to fix video play on 3G and mms settings. I do have 3G working now and it's pretty fast on the cricket network, about the same speed as using my 7Mbps (or mbps, I forgot which) DSL internet. 513kb download and 533kb upload.
Do you know how to make a backup of a rom on these 8600? I can't seem to update from 2.1 without it being hooked up to a sprint network or something. And the two roms I found on the internet 2.1 and 2.2 are not doing it, because the 2.2 has issues reading the NVRAM info and the 2.1 has problems with the camera feature on the phone (the camera just stops working...)
I'm gonna post a guide to this once I figure this out, I think this phone deserves it since no material is on the internet for it. If someone google searchs this and finds this post, can you please help me with backuping up my rom? xD
I've got 3G working good but any ideas as to what's still causing mms to not work? I've unpacked the Mms.apk and saw no references to the provider in it and I took a look in telephony.db and saw that the APN settings were correct for cricket. Any other files that affect mms settings on sprint phones (or androids in general?)

hey how did u get the 3g to stick in qpst an settings i have been tryin for along time to get it to stick
Hi, I just got my skyrocket.
everything activated fine rooted then cwm.
now I am running quickwiz and rogers modem.
Band switch in settings is iffy I can change form lte hps gsm to hps gsm but cannot force hps or gsm only But if I go to service mode I can change to anything and it works related to band.
the other thing is there are no apn's listed but data and mms works fine and if I add a apn when i save it its not there either. the apn screen looks like there are no apn's listed but data works fine.
I have had the same issue with apn on skyrocketeer and att modem and I haev reflashed quickwiz with the att modem too. anyone have any ideas?
I figured out the apn issue.
The apn's are hidden for some reason.
I currently flashed and activated the Epic 4g (Sph-D700) on the cricket network, and everything was working good. But stupidly I flashed the Cyanogenmod 7 RC3 for the Epic 4g on Sprint network thinking the 3g would work. But ever since then I could never get the 3g working anymore.
Tried many steps; from QPST, APN settings, returning to stock, flashing CM9 Beta 4 on cricket, CM7 for Cricket, trying many ways in many forums to fix 3g, and returning to Cyanognemod 7 RC3 on Sprint and trying to fix it from there.
don't know what to do anymore. I installed an app like root explorer for free and messed with the apn. Tried to mess with the hap secret going to system, etc and reaching ppp. Tried installing the epic 4g different cell phone company fix flash file, the i905 data fix and no luck. I tried using CDMA workshop and QPST and tried a bunch of PRLs and the 3g icon wouldn't even pop up.
The PRL that worked with 3g cricket was 42700 one. Flash cyanogenmod 7 screwed it up. I even used voice dials to open APN and nothing. Even dialed ##8778# and set it back to PDA. Tried dialing #data and mess the settings there. Does anyone have a back up of the apn settings on cricket where the 3g works? I currently have thr $55 plan .
I noticed that on cm7 and cm9 the connection goes to 1x and no 3g connection. Also noticed that I keep losing signal and sounds like its updating PRL.
If anyone can help, please
Hi everyone,
I have a d2vzw running Carbon ROM Kitkat. I spent the weekend back in the UK and enabled global mode, which connected to Vodafone's GSM/HSDPA network using the original Verizon SIM. So I had phone and SMS service - no problems at all.
However, I couldn't get a data connection. It was connected to the HSDPA network (enhanced 3G). Under Settings-->More...-->Mobile networks there is the option ("Access Point Names") to choose an APN. However, none showed up. I tried to add an APN manually, but as soon as I set Vodafone's MCC and MNC, it refused to save the APN info.
Oddly enough, the correct APN settings are all on the phone in Carbon ROMs "apns-conf.xml" file, they're just not showing up.
I tried everything to remedy this, but no luck.
So, here are two questions to harvest your collective wisdom:
First, is there a solution to this? I like Carbon ROM, but I have to have global data access for my work. If I can get my d2vzw running Carbon connected to international GSM networks and APN for internet, then I'd really like to.
Second, does anyone know of a KitKat ROM that DOES do this properly on the d2vzw?
Thank you so much,
M
I haven't checked in on AOSP ROMs in a while, but last time I did, none of them could do this, you need to run a Touchwiz-based ROM. AOSP ROMs like Carbon use a reverse-engineered radio interface which is not quite as good as the Samsung one which is included with TW ROMs, and this is one problem with it.
The bottom line is that if you want all the hardware features of your phone to work, you have to use a TW-based ROM, because Samsung hasn't opened up the hardware.

Thanks, Jacquestrapp. That's helpful. Perhaps I will flash a TW-based ROM and then keep it as a nandroid backup for when I go travelling.
I have been using my Verizon S3 in the Philippines as an international phone for months with excellent service. I am able to connect to the GSM network and transmit data at H+ speeds. I am on CM 10.1.3 official on Baseband MF1 and have been able to successfully switch to GSM using the PhoneInfo app. To assign proper APNs, I use the HiAPN app. Be very careful with Phone info: I once broke my connectivity messing with the settings too much ("Select radio band") and had to revert to Twiz and turn on the GSM bands using the "secret menu" to turn those back on. If you have a Twiz backup, try dialing *#2263# to choose the bands your phone has access to (seems impossible on other ROMs) if you keep having problems.
The thread here (see post 106) is enormously helpful.
The info about Twiz and reverse engineering is useful -- I haven't been able to get reliable service beyond CM 10.1.3 (very low signal, inability to send SMS, but somehow can receive SMS and voice calls), so I have been sticking to 10.1.3, unfortunately. I want to upgrade to 4.4, but haven't been able to do it without breaking GSM functionality. Has anyone gotten GSM and data to work on a 4.4 ROM?

So do i. I can't connect to data. I'm come from Vietnam
I have been using the CM13 nightlies for a few days now, and all I can say is wow - I love it! Phone is super fast, no more constant freezing and restarting (when I was on MOAR rom).
Only problem I've had so far is that I cannot connect to 4G LTE network. I have Boost Mobile and the default Boost APN seems to work fine, I can connect to 3G if I set the preferred network type to 3G, but when I set it to LTE I get neither 3G or 4G LTE. I do not know whether I should be using NV or RUIM/SIM in CDMA subscription (and couldn't figure it out through googling either) but it seems that I cannot change it to RUIM/SIM, no matter how many times I click the option it just stays on NV. Also, trying to open carrier settings just crashes settings "com.android.phone has stopped"
SIM status shows network state as disconnected when I have LTE or Global chosen as preferred network state.
I started out with the unofficial CM13 build, then from there upgraded to the 20160716 official nightly and then the 20160720 nightly.
I then flashed a stock 6.0 rom I found here and that let me connect to 4G with no problems whatsoever. While in this rom, I updated my PRL just in case. I then flashed back the 20160720 official nightly, and same thing. Still no dice.
TL;DR anyone have 4g working on boost with cm13
update:
found this flashable zip through google, flashed it in TWRP and LTE has worked like a charm ever since. :good:
