s968c and CM 11 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Everything was going good up untill the 5th and bamm.. Lost data.. So figure i would wait and just flashed the 12th and still no good. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem. Flashed Slim 7.8 and its working fine.
And I'm pretty sure we are officially supported, right?http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/61149/

Does stock sms work for mms on SlimROM or are there still APN issues with it like CM?

Yeah, i use chomp with slim cause there is the same issue with the apns.. I played with the apns for ever and could never get anything to work and just gave up. Lol... I dont know enough about it to fix it. Maybe you can. There is a guide with an app called apn backup and restore here at xda.. Have to move app to system app priv.. Do a search for it. Good luck!

Just tried APN backup and restore following the directions I found on XDA. The app said the restore process was successful but I still get the no APN message and MMS doesn't work. Reverted back to stock again.

[Q] MIUI GB Pureview by Fundozz

Been using fundozz's pureview miui rom and loving it, however I am unable to download picture texts (mms). I've tried playing with the apn settings and used an app that automatically sets up the apn for you, still no go.Did a full wipe before install, on T-Mobile USA. Any advice?

You might have to enable data to receive and send mms. This is a problem for me and doing this solves it. Then if you don't have a data plan just disable it after.

Thanks for the response. Data is enabled. It seems to be downloading for about a minute then just fails?
Has MMS worked before, on other ROMs?

Yes. Working on recent roms such as gsnap, GingerDX, even JB paranoidandroid works. Seems to be just pureview?

Yeah, I guess. Your response rules out other variables.
Alright so I installed go SMS. It received a picture just fine.. maybe its just the stock app? Which I would prefer to use over go SMS.
Maybe you could use the stock messaging apk from another ROM?
Ok so deleted go SMS.. now when someone sends a mms I get a fc.. something something.mms? Went into msg app and it fails to download again.
Would it be possible to unzip another miui rom and just install the message app apk?
Can't hurt to try!
No go. Problem parsing the package.
Hmmm. You sure they're both based on the same version of Android?

I guess it makes sense that they would have to be. But no... ill try another one later today. Thanks.
Proper apn settings?
Press thanks if I helped you!
As far as pulling a stock sms app from another cm7 based miui, it causes forcecloses. SMS app doesnt even open after installing the .apk.
As far as the APN settings, ive googled and searched, and everything ive tried is still a no go. Used an app from the store called Twweaker? Sets the APN for you, still no go.
Weird.

Why am I having such trouble going to an AOSP ROM can keeping 4G/Data?

I know of the issue with the 4.2 ROMs. You must perform some tricks, such as change CDMA subscription, etc.. but that's not working for me. Still stuck on Roaming
So instead, everyone says.. flash a 4.1 AOSP ROM, and then dirty flash into 4.2. OK, so that doesn't work either, and even checking the CDMA subscription for RIUI or whatever, I still get stuck on Roaming.
As soon as I wipe and restore my TouchWiz backup, I'm back to no problems.
What is my plan of action in order to get a working 4.2 AOSP ROM? I've tried Wiping, 4.1 -> 4.2, and no go.
Help? I'm usually great at hacking, flashing, etc.. I got a 4.2 ROM working once, but forgot to create a backup. Now I can't get one working again.

Did you reboot after changing subscription?

Tried several reboots in both 4.1, and 4.2 with clean flashes. Tried it also in the 4.1 -> 4.2 dirty flash..
The setting sticks after a reboot, but still in R mode.
Ok try this... install cm 10.1 with no g apps. This will take you straight past the activation screen. Nor only do you change subscription but also network to automatic. Then reboot. I believe it's network. Can't remember exactly but it's right above the other one. I'm not on a 4.2 ROM to see right now but I know this works for me.

APN problem is driving me crazy

I have been trying to help a friend out who has Net 10 and wants to buy my old Skyrocket for cheap. I ran the Net 10 sim card in the skyrocket with the stock samsung rom that you need to unlock the network lock for free. After verifying that it worked by making calls and recieving texts and data we then began to talk about upgrading to a newer Rom. Well after upgrading to Cyanogen 4.3.1 the problem first began, then it happened again with Cyanogen 4.2.2, and again with this Embryo Rom. I have done everything to the T and its just getting ridiculous that the APN will not save. No matter what I do, as soon as that APN is finished I click save and its gone. What do I do.. I am running the ATT JB Radio that the Cyanogen Mod threads recomend for the 4.3 rom to work. I have not flashed anything other than the recovery, radio, and roms. I am using CWM btw.
Anything?

This isn't a solution for your issue but it may (or may not) offer some insight.
my girlfriend has a glide and when I put cm on it the apns would randomly disappear. Same with pa. the phone came from stock gb. Flashed stock ics and haven't had a problem with it yet.

Apn settings

I just flashed the newest nightly of Omnirom and now I lost all my all settings... I'm not getting any signal whatsoever... I tried to enter the apn settings that I found in Google but whenever I tried to save it, it would be gone... I saved it then backed out and went back in that settings and it's still not there... I read online if u reboot ur phone it will appear but it's still not there... Idk if anybody else has experienced the same problem or similar but I need help... Thanks

Did you back up your last rom? If so, flash it back. Good luck.

Yes I did go back to my previous rom... I had my back up but the problem continued... I was able to fix it though... I had to repartition my SD card cuz for some reason I couldn't access anything on it... So I then flashed cm 11 rom and then I found the options for the apn networks... Afterwards what I did was flash my Omni rom again and the apn networks was still there... So if anyone has a problem apn try this... Thanks...

Straight Talk APN Settings??

Hi everyone, Im hoping someone knows the apn settings for our S3. Ive tried going to Straight Talk's website to the get apns that way and it just gives me an error saying that if i am using a sprint of cdma phone then i dont have to update my APN. one problem with that. theres no APNs in the list at all. My s3 was running 4.1.2, but i have recently rooted it and flashed Gummy 4.4.4 to it. still a locked bootloader though. any ideas or help with the APN will def be appreciated
You'll need to use a third party messaging app and enter the APN info in the apps settings. I work recommend 8sms for a close to stock experience. In the MMSC section of the APN settings you'll need to enter "http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms" without quotes.

I have the SCH-S968C, the Samsung S3 for Straight Talk. and your pastebin link helps but i downloaded the apn backup and restore application and tried that but an error popped up saying that it was supported with Android 4.0+.
I lost data the first time I flashed CM and the only way I could get data back was by restoring from an unbrick image. Have you tried going back to stock? There are directions on another XDA thread on how to use APN backup and restore with Kit Kat roms but the APN settings don't seem to take on this phone.

I dont want to go back to stock is the thing lol is it all KK roms? ive only tried flashing the Gummy 4.4.4 and ive been using it. I tried to flash PACman rom but it boot looped my phone to the point i had to restore using Verizon's Update and restore program.
I am currently on stock but have successfully flashed CM, Pacman, PA and SlimKat. When I first lost data I restored to stock which restored data and the next time I flashed a KitKat ROM it worked fine.

did you do a complete wipe when you flashed 4.4.4? i have a twrp backup of my stock that i can go back to and start from there.
I always do a factory restore and wipe dalvic and cache before flashing a new ROM.
