APN Settings for Simple Mobile on Star N8000

Owner of the Star N8000 dual sim, I would like to know the Simple Mobile APN settings for the N8000 because Simple can't give the apn settings because they can't identify the phone. Will the N8000 give 3G or 4G or Edge on Simple Mobile in the USA?
btw I have posted the APN setting for h2o 3G here: iph0ne27 on youtube

Apn settings for 3G on simple mobile?

Enable only wcdma, LTE, or any other band

This is for that people that needs to force the cellphone to preferred network type.
1- Needs to be root. I uses this: http://www.ninjaromeo.com/root-lg-optimus-g3/ but I think this works too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2776198
2- After you have your cellphone rooted install the intelli3G app from PlayStore.
3- Install intelli3G app but not open yet, Install the xposed installer: http://dl-count.xposed.info/modules/de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v33_36570c.apk
4- after install xposed open it and update the framework,
5- reboot the phone
6- after reboot open intelli3g app but inmediately exit and open the xposed and in the modules check the intelli3g app to get the permissions.
7- Now open the intelli3g app and select the band you want.
just say thanks if this was useful to you.

So this is an exposed module, not a stand alone app?

Appear to be an app but needs xposed to works.

Hmm.. Excuse my ignorance but will doing this allow my phone to connect to networks that run on bands that the D850 doesn't support?
I was in England recently and after unlocking my phone, I stuck a T-Mobile SIM card in and was getting calls and texts but could not get internet despite paying for it and all. Would installing this module allow me to get 3G services from any network etc.?
Any information would be lovely, thank you.

not only does this work, which is awesome, but it has a dual mode with a toggle, which is REALLY nice, and the hotspot still works even when you switch bands unlike the build.prop edit that does the same thing
Thank you very much for this

Too many steps which aren't needed.

If you're using T-Mobile SIM, then you'll need to input the correct APN settings for T-Mobile.
Any information would be lovely, thank you.

The D850 has support for WCDMA 2100MHz so you're good to go for all 3G networks in the UK, but for LTE, stick with EE (1800/2600) or 3 (800/1800). D850 does NOT have LTE 800 which O2 and Vodafone uses.

You likely needed to change your APN settings.

By APN settings I assume you mean choosing between the services that my phone could find? For instance, my phone was finding o2 3g, o2 2g, ee 3g, Vodafone 3g, etc. If so, I tried connecting to each and every single one to no avail. I was considering getting an o2 pay as you go Sim or a Vodafone since according to various sources the D850 supports the bands that those services require, at least for 3g. I don't exactly need LTE but I do want some sort of internet service.

So what would I need this for? Will this help me with issues I am having staying connected to LTE?

SM-G920W8 | No Option To Connect to LTE

I bought an Unlocked Canadian S6 recently, and it just won't let me connect to the LTE network.
Model Numer : SM-G920W8
Android Version : 5.0.2
Baseband : G920W8VLU1AOCG
Connecting to the LTE is not even an option. When I go in the Network Options, I get the choice between :
-WDCMA/GSM (auto connect)
- WDCMA only
- GSM only
I know for a fact that I am in the coverage zone, so no need to ask that silly question
I've tried different SIM cards, played in the options a bit, and factory reset the phone about 5 times now, yet nothing seems to work.
Also, when I try to do the update, it just reboots and gives me an Android logo and a failed Icon
I've only seen one other post like this from a carrier's support website, but no solutions were found.
**Update : For a reason, after a recovery, it will connect to the LTE for a bit or until next boot, then go back to what it is now.

First question, who did you buy the phone from? Second, Is it second hand? By default, Wind mobile does not allow the LTE option to be displayed in system settings as they as a carrier don't have LTE. It is blocked by the CSC setting for the carrier. As for other carriers It should leave you the option to connect in settings where you say it is not. If it is a Wind phone, You would need to change the CSC to enable the LTE selection. There is a method to force LTE even without option in settings, but I think it is removed in the latest firmware. Try dialing *#2263# in the dialer. It may bring you to menu that will allow you to select LTE. This is not a permanent method though as it will need to be done every boot. The other way, (If you are in fact a Wind/Mobilicity phone) is to enter dialer and enter *#272*IMEI# with IMEI being your devices unique code. If at all possible, take a full nand and Titanium Backup before doing this and be sure to transfer everything off the phone to a PC. This method wipes everything and I mean everything off the phone buy is a surefire way to enable LTE.

Yes, it was second hand. I didn't ask who was his carrier simply because it was unlocked.
I'll try it tomorrow, thanks for the information

Here is the menu you will see when you type the *#272*imei# code into your dialer. The codes are the carrier names. Mine which is GLW is Wind, BMC is Bell, RWC is Rogers, etc.

Maybe there is no LTE in your area...

It would still be visible in the Settings/Mobile Networks/Network Mode menu which it is not. His problem is more than that.

Sweet! It works :good: Thanks man
Now, would you have any ideas on why the update won't work? I didn't get much into it yet, but I will soon.

I'm not sure why it wouldn't update, but now that you have changed the CSC you can download the update and flash with Odin. Pick your carrier and go to town. The guy running the following thread runs his own firmware host. He's got amazing DL speeds. Usually takes me 6 or so minutes to do the 1.6gb file. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3086387

I'm having the same issue.

Connected with someone selling a G920W8 version. LTE is disabled and the codes aren't working. Can you reaffirm which unlock code worked for you? I'm on Fido, what LTE network are you using?

hi BCSC
Thanks for the details. I searched complete net and read all articles but nothing set me up with the proper thing. i read your solution i dialled *#2263# and all i got is service mode and in that i went to band selection , LTE and the all ....... Yes and its showing LTE in mobile data. THanks so much.
But now another issue, network is showing perfect but no outgoing and incoming calls.
in incoming its showing busy and on outgoing its not connecting to another phone.
And, Lte is not showing in mobile networks, There only 3 options still are showing.
Mine is same Wind S6 but i had to use in India.
Let Me know
Thanks once again
Cheeerzzzzz
Varun

Picking LTE from the service mode will note make it visible from the settings menu. Its more of a workarpund instead of a way of permanently enabling it. As for the issue of no out/in calls, my best guess is that it could be due to which LTE bands are being used or are available in India. Unfortunatly I have no way to test that option. I only was successful in getting the Wind LTE option on Canadian carriers.

How to get Hotspot and APN settings without root or mods

I bought a sprint N920P for use in Canada. It was sold unlocked but I discovered I couldn't turn on Hotspot or change the APN. After doing some research, I found that flashing the XAS firmware I can enable the hidden settings. I can still receive OTA and Knox is not tripped. The device is unrooted. Samsung Pay is functional. Link to firmware is here. It will wipe everything so backup first!
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=1CACD973C35D11E69215FA163EE8F90B
To get hotspot settings, download Samsung good lock. This will unlock the hidden hotspot settings. You can find good lock in the galaxy apps store and the hotspot toggle in the good lock pull down menu. Long press the hotspot toggle to access hohot settings.
To make sure the new firmware works, check if the firmware wiped your phone. If the phone boots up in the factory reset state, then you're good. If it doesn't try again.

I wouldn't say this is a for sure way. True test after you flash this firmware is to have Sprint Service. Whatever firnware you have, once you pop another SIM into the Sprint Note, 5 the APNS become editable. I popped in a T Mobile SIM and I was able to edit the T Mobile APN.

Do devices connect tho? I have the same unlocked SM-N920P on a Canadian carrier, but when I try to connect a device to the hotspot, it doesn't work.

Yes devices do connect. On my phone I created a hotspot and I was able to link iPhone, and windows.

I flashed the firmware that you included in the link, and I after installing I still cant find the hotspot option in the settings menu. Do you mind going a little further in depth in how you activated the hotspot?

As I suspected this does not work. He is able to edit the APN because he is on another carrier and not Sprint. Flashing firmware doesn't do anything.
He said he wiped the phone to factory state after he flsshed the firmware. Did you do that?

I'm not using sprint either, I have a sprint note 5 but running on Fido network in Canada. I'm hesitant to wipe my phone as the method may not even work. Maybe if OP responds, he can explain how he is able to enable hotspot.
I can access APN settings fine, but the hotspot function is non-existent in settings.

There is another thread he posted in - he just said that he did a factory reset. Did you do that? Anyone can access APN but not be able to edit the hotspot settings. I could do that on a stock Sprint Note 5. Sprint just greys out certain parts.

So after downloading Good Lock from the Samsung store hotspot menu seems to popup, but I'm having trouble actually having devices connect to my note 5. The wifi connection is seen, but the farthest I can go is "obtaining Ip address". Does anyone know how to solve this?

You have to install samsung good lock. It's available in the galaxy apps store. Read my OP for more info.

Try on different devices. Does computer work? Does its work? If they all don't work check your mobile data settings, apn settings and Hotspot settings.

So far this is not working for anyone one than the OP. I am considering this a non fix. If someone who has a Sprint phone is able to use Sprint service AND can edit APN that is a fix. Taking a Sprint phone and popping in a SIM from another carrier and being able to edit APN is not a fix but pretty common. Again I took a T Mobile SIM and popped into my Sprint phone and voila I am able to edit T Mobile's APN - because apparently T Mobile does not block access to edit APNs but Sprint DOES. I'm glad this worked for you Justinxfan - here's hoping for a true fix for the rest of us!

hey,
I want to buy a Sprint Note5 from ebay.
I'm going to use it on koodo in Canada
If I dont have access to apn settings does that mean I cannot use data on it?

You can use data just fine, it's just that the hotspot functionality is blocked on the sprint note 5.

If you reboot the phone, upon boot, immediately go into enable hotspot, it will work until you reboot again. I've done this on several road trips with the kids and the unlimited plan comes in handy with three streaming youtube or netflix.

i have exact problem like this: i use unlocked sprint s6 in my country, i dig the hotspot setting with nova launcher, can turn it on and set the password up, use another phone/ipad/laptop and SEE the S6 wifi, connecting, and that's it.

trying to use data while talking on the phone.

I have a SM-G955U that's GSM unlocked. It was originally an Xfinity phone, but I'm now using it on mertopcs. Mero supports active data while talking on the phone. But my S8+ disables my data while making a call. I do not have root, is there a way to keep my data while talking on the phone?

Try this settings/ connections/ mobile networks/ VoLTE Calls. I think that's the option you're looking for

That option doesn't appear when I go there...

I've checked through the phone app and the settings menu, nothing like that appears anywhere.

I think this option depends on the carrier itself you're using some carriers doesn't support vollte so this option will not be enabled by default. My carrier supports vollte.
Next to 4G or LTE icon vollte will appear like the picture below
https://mega.nz/#!zZBAAaaA!UJM62RS1-M0NwU7Tu1X_wpXiGKf3QXWQlSf3OB41qe0

The original carrier for this phone did not support vol LTE by the carrier I'm using now does support it. It was originally Xfinity and now I'm with MetroPCS.

Maybe flash the MetroPCS firmware or unlocked firmware.

You don't need use VoLTE to talk and browse at the same time, if your carrier doesn't support VoLTE your cell phone will perform a CS Fall Back to UMTS and then (if your carrier support MULTI RAB) your cell phone will make MULTI RAB, one RAB CS to voice and one RAB PS to data. The problem is when you are using 2 sim cards, if you make a call from one sim card and the data came from the other sim card, the Galaxy S8+ will block the other sim card in a call.
So to call and use data at the same time you will need VoLTE in LTE or Multi RAB in UMTS but must be the same sim card.
