Basically this is my problem.
On my XDA Guide, on touchflow, there is a weather section and when ever you accidentally go over it, 3G kicks in and updates it and costs me a hefty some every time i do this. There are other times when 3G kicks in. so eventually i turned this off correctly how ever when i was trying to overcome this problem, for some idiotic reason i went to connections, and deleted all of the profiles, i.e the cellular network, the other cellular network (3G & GPRS) etc.. And ever since that i cant make calls or recieve texts. My sim is VIRGIN at the moment. when i try to make a call all i get is 3 beeps. and the call ends. Any ideas on how to fix this PLEASE!!
i remade all the profiles i deleted (i think) so i dont understand why. Perhaps this isnt the reason for it not working? i dont know
ok how are you guys doing? Me, well I'm stick trying to flash the EVO 4G to cricket....
steps that I have taken, are basically:
1. Rooted the phone (showin S-OFF)
2. followed all the setting configuration on forums to flash phone using QPST and CDMA workshop.
3. Uploaded the cricket.xml (with MY #) to phone, via APN backup & restore.
4. Flashed the rom to GB sense.
5. Called cricket to put phone is System.. And basically following everything on like three different guides. Excellent guides at that.
To make a long story short, I somehow enabled the WEB, but text, talk, and MMS does not work.... I've went over my values in QPST about 100 times, but evrytime I try to make a call it just loses signal. And if roaming enables during the call, Verizon customer service will answer the call. I tried to turn-off roam. But it just loses signal. Cant text as well or recieve text. However, the internet is good .
I just bought a used Verizon LG G5 (VS987), however my carrier is AT&T. After putting in the Sim card, calling and texting works but when I go to turn on mobile data in the settings, I get a popup that says "Add Mobile Service Please contact Customer Service at (800) 922-0204 for assistance."
I have called both that customer service number for Verizon ^ and also AT&T. I made sure that my IMEI was updated on our AT&T plan, and I have the right APN settings put in. When I called Verizon, the guy didn't really have much to say except that the device is unlocked but full access to features can't be guaranteed, and I am aware that Verizon and AT&T use different wireless bands, which he explained, but I should be able to at least have some kind of data. We both agreed that this is just some piece of Verizon software keeping me from using data, and he suggested rooting the phone to get a workaround.
One suggestion that I saw in some forums and tried was that resetting the network settings in Backup and Reset does turn mobile data on by default, however I get the same Verizon popup as soon as I open any browser, and other apps just say there is no connection, although when I do this I can see that I am getting either HSPA or 4G data, it just seems like it's being blocked by this Verizon stuff. Messing around with other setttings such as Data roaming and System select didn't change anything.
Does anyone have any experience using a Verizon G5 on AT&T? I saw a video of someone demoing T-Mobile 4G data on the Verizon model, and another user on XDA said that he put in his T-Mobile sim and it worked perfectly. My best guess on where to go from here is to unlock and root, and see if I can install a custom rom to get around this. Does anyone know if there is a stock LG rom without all of the Verizon bloatware installed, maybe a stock rom for the unlocked model of the G5? Any suggestions on how to get this to work are appreciated, and I think this is posted in the right place, I'm an active reader on XDA but this is one of my first posts
Thanks to anyone that reads all of this!
Update: I reset the phone to factory settings and set it up with the sim card from AT&T in it. Since then I can turn on mobile data, and the notification bar shows I have data (mostly HSPA), however I have no connection when I try to load a webpage. Tomorrow morning i'll stop by the AT&T store and see if there's anything they can do.

Did you add the correct APNs for AT&T in the phone when you put in your sim? you need it for internet and MMS
Did you which it to Gobal or other option that is not LTE/CDMA?
Same problem here

Was your problem solved? I'm having the same problem with another Verizon LG Device. If it was solved, what did you do?
Are there any custom ROMs for the SM-G900P that totally work "out of the box"? By that, I mean that all aspects of the phone work (making and receiving calls and SMS; WiFi; cellular data; etc.) without having to flash additional APN files and such. I am trying to find a custom ROM for my Virgin Mobile Galaxy S 5, but I am tired of having to flash an APN file, and then finding that WiFi drops suddenly and won't reconnect, or SMS doesn't work, or some other important part of the phone is quirky.

I purchased this J3 Emerge from Sprint and later carrier unlocked it and ported to T-Mobile. The phone can make and receive calls and data works but MMS fails both for media and for group texts. I have updated the APN based on T-mobiles recommendations but no luck. The T-Mobile tech support guy (who actually seemed very knowledgeable) said that some unlocked sprint phones basically get locked to using Sprint's servers to download and upload MMS. I asked him if rooting the phone would allow better access to this and he was unsure, so that is my question:
Is there a custom ROM or root app that will fix this phone's ability to send and receive MMS?
Thanks in advance!
