Oh you bet it works! Tried tested and proven you bet your last dollar it works! And as simple as that is I could hardly believe it when I thought about what was going on and decided to name it exactly. It works for sure. See the link of the picture proof I posted. And the average simple user does not have to worry about flashing anything. Thats what I liked about this little trick when I discovered it. And for around 2 bucks to unlock this phone, come on now that is just an awesome deal.

Thanks for posting what you did but in your other post you did say,

"Nothing listed here fixed this issue for me. I eventually ran across APN Manager on the market. It works with root access and gives you full control over the APNs. I just made a backup then deleted the T-Mobile default one and now only Simple is there and always active"

And thats obviously not true. Had you tried what I said you would not need to download any other app and since people are carrying over this phone to simple mobile's service you may as well unlock and for just around 2 bucks and change on ebay you just cant go wrong.

BTW, what I described is for stock G2x on android 2.3.3. This problem does not occur on 2.2.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jmodix:
Are you sure the phone needs to be unlocked?

my g2X is not unlocked, its rooted and running Cyanogen 7 and I was able to delete the T-mobile apn and add the Simple Mobile one. The service works fine. Actually I have 2 simple mobile accounts on unlocked T-mobile phones, both work fine.

You wouldn't happen to go by unlock_fusion on ebay would you? :p

Actually.. after paying $20 for an unlock code about a year ago for a different phone.. couple bucs is a steal. :D

no.. I buy my codes from them though and their prices on the g2x unlock is a really good deal. Like around 2 to 3 bucks!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gggirlgeek:
Thanks for the tips. I'll probably try the APN Manager app if I run into this snag. Right now my stock Froyo is working great with just the instructions on Simple Mobile's website http://www.mysimplemobile.com/Support-Center-Phone-Programming.aspx 10mbps down /4mbps up.

Question: Has this Gingerbread problem been solved in recent roms? I thought someone said it was but I can't remember where or which rom?? I'd love to graduate from Froyo but I'm chicken.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] e4e5nf3nc6:
Okay so earlier today I noticed that my data icon wasn't present. I checked the apn's and somehow both the T-Mobile and Simple were both gone. There was nothing there. Everything was working fine without any problems at all prior to this, and I hadn't changed any settings either. My phone had been in my pocket for hours. I tried to flash the correct zip (I'm running EaglesBlood) and the first time I flashed it I forgot to change it to simple after rebooting. Either way neither of them worked. I deleted both and decided to reflash. Now when I reflash, the t-mobile apn never shows up, just the simple one. Meanwhile during this entire process I haven't got a single data connection through messing with it. I tried again and same thing, still not working and t-mobile apn doesn't show up. I would REALLY like not to have to reflash my rom or anything. So, what am I doing wrong?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gggirlgeek:
Did you try that APN manager app? It looks like you can just add the provider.

Also, try keeping the Simple Mobile settings, and renaming the profile to the exact name of the T-mobile profile. If you need the T-mo settings again, I can give them to you. Just PM me.

As an aside, I am not looking forward to this mess once I move to a new Rom. I think I'll procrastinate a bit more.

Sorry to hear you're having more troubles.

Simple Mobile 4G

I just upgrade my Simple Mobile plan from 3G to 4G..but internet speed did not get any faster. Now I'm about to flash jboxer's zip again, since Simple tech support made me play with APN settings and now my phone receives no data at all.

Does anybody know if I need to make any changes to the APN settings for Simple 4G network? If so, could you please make a flashable zip...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pcdocta:
Hey, does the 4G symbol show up at all? If it does then you are getting 4g even if the speed seems slow to you.. also the APN settings from simple mobile website work just fine on the g2x...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] dokjon:
Yeah, 4G symbol does show at status bar at top, but it's been there ever since I had 3G plan..so I'm not sure if it does, indeed, indicate that I'm receiving 4G, or my G2X is just not capable of showing "3G," which I've never seen.

I finally reached the right person at Simple and found out that APN settings dont need to be changed in order to receive 4G..if my phone has internet connection already, then I don't have to do anything to settings.

St. Louis just has poor network..I guess.

extra $20 spent for nothing! woot

[T-Mobile LG G2x] pcdocta:
Hey man, I checked out that app you talked about, "APN Manager" , and found a few things worth bringing to this thread. Open the app and then in the menu open where it says "APN List". You will most likely see more than one APN in there including the one you are currently using where you will see the green bar next to it as the one thats active. The other APNs in there are that you see are in the phone but all hidden. My G2x (android 2.3.3) had 8 other APNs. If you press and hold for 2 seconds over each APN the menu comes up and you can then delete each one. I was able to do this without root on my G2x. After you delete them all, including the "T- Mobile US" APN, you can then press in the main menu, "Insert APN", and setup the "Simple Mobile" APN as your only APN. I was able to do it that way with no problems.

I also have another android motorola defy which I use on H2O wireless and found in the APN list that it had a whopping 218 hidden APNS! The APN manager doesnt allow for a mass delete of all APNs but I found another app that does which is " APN Backup & Restore". It has a button in the app that "deletes all APNs". So I used that to wipe out the 218 APNs found then just setup my correct APN. Now when I look in the APN List using apn manager, I only have my 1 APN instead of the 218 that was there before. Interesting... Hope this helps other users!!

Hi JBoxer, I been using your apns-4-simple.zip to flash in CM7 in all builds and has works flawlessly for use with simple on my G2x. But now I tried to flash this with CWM 5.0.2.7 and the new version of CM9 (ICS 4.03 based) out now for G2x, and flashing this doesn't seem to work..IM not sure if its the ROM or that the zip file that is not compatible..anyone have any ideas?

I know this is an older thread but I am giving it a try as I am struggling with simple mobile settings after switching to HFS 1.7... Nothing has worked and no one has posted anything useful yet! There are just not enough owners with my same exact phone who also use simple mobile. I hope this works for me!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] godwheel:
Did anyone get this to work on ICS?

I'm struggling with disappearing APN and disconnections aplenty when I flashed to AOSP 4.0.3 and 4.0.4...

we just got a new update for the HTC One S, its a tmobile rom...

this is what I did, cause it kept defaulting to the locked tmobile apn settings.

I left the tmobile alone, and under apn type I seen this added. "default,supl,admin,hipri" without quotes..

then next step was mms... after playing with it for 1 days, because I could not send or receive mms trying different settings.. under apn type I added "mms,default,admin" without the quotes.

SIMPLE Data

apn type= default,supl,admin,hipri

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kadin:
Just yesterday I noticed that my battery was draining crazy quick while it was in sleep mode. I don't have any background syncing going on other than auto-update for a weather widget once an hour along with the core Google things like contacts, email, calendar, etc.

Usually the screen has been the largest contributor to draining of the battery and via betterbatterystats, there's no abnormal wakes going on.

I did a reset of the phone and I've now disabled 'Data Network Mode' as I'm primarily on Wifi right now. It seems to have fixed itself so far but I'll know better tonight.

Is this a conflict within the OS itself (rooted on Infused V2.1.0) or something from having 4G enabled when I'm in an area where I typically only get 1 bar? Either way, it's a huge draw on my battery...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Tomdg07:
From what I've heard/read this is a random bug caused by gb, not common at all but ocassionaly android os will go nuts and suck down your battery. Resolutions I've seen posted have just been power off, remove battery, re-insert battery, power up = issues reoslved.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] d0wngrade:
Hmm, I would say try the battery-pull method first. If that doesn't fix it, maybe try flashing back to stock via ODIN and then re-flash Infused? Just an idea. :P

Subject Edit: Motorola Warranty Repair Issues - No problem with bootloader, but HORROR STORY!

EDIT: MY SD CARD HAS BEEN RECOVERED, REJOICE! Be careful anyone who is purchasing a Motorola phone.

I sent my Atrix in to repair the fingerprint scanner and touch screen as neither were working only a couple months after purchase.

After submission, motorola changed the repair to a slow repair(5-7 days) instead of express repair which I was guaranteed (2-3 days).

I received the phone back, both the fingerprint scanner, and the touch screen still do not work.

In addition, the repair team stole my Wintec 32GB Class 10 Micro SD card that I purchased on NewEgg for $82.49 a couple weeks before my pre-order arrived.

I wish I hadn't accidentally included this in my return. Stay away, for your own good.

I was disconnected from customer support several times while trying to resolve this issue also.

Spread the word, I have posted this status on my facebook for all 400 friends to see.

I really hope the advocacy office can resolve this issue for me without getting the BBB, attorney general, and my lawyer involved.

The only good news about this whole matter is that the BOOTLOADER being unlocked did not cause an issue.

After receiving back from motorola I now have a stock ROM again, KennethPenningtons rom is no longer there, and the "UNLOCKED" no longer appears in the top left hand corner when booting the phone. I don't know if they replaced the MOBO or something to do so, but on my repair sheet it only says "Software" and doesn't indicate they replaced any hardware.
[Atrix 4G General] matthew5025:
Never had a problem with Motorola repair in my country. In fact, good after sales service is the reason why I got a ATRIX instead of a gs2 or a sensation. The fact that they actually repaired your phone shows how good they are :). You should email someone to complain about your missing memory card.
[Atrix 4G General] gzrecoil:
Matthew, I think you missed the point.

I received the Atrix back with a broken fingerprint scanner, as well as a non-working touch screen.

The phone is completely useless, all they did was wipe the software.

I have emailed the advocacy team, but I am not ready to go an additional week without a phone just yet.
[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
from what it seems to me, they prolly saw you had custom firmware installed so they figured a wipe to stock would fix the problems. sorry it didn't. it also sucks about your SD card, i've had nothing but good experience from Motorola in all my years of celluar usage.

i'm sure if you contact customer support and talk to some people, you can get everything worked out.
[Atrix 4G General] gzrecoil:
I agree, it is just unfortunate that they did not test the touch screen or the fingerprint scanner since those were the things that were broken.

I had already tested a stock rom and determined it was definitely a hardware issue, so it was extra frustrating.

In addition, their wipe caused me to lose everything, and my backup of all apps was on the SD card which was stolen.

After 30 minutes on the phone I was offered a 2GB sd card, which I laughed off.

I was placed on hold for another 5 minutes and offered a 16gb SD card, which I declined as my 32GB was full so I definitely do not want a 16GB.

In addition, I will be frustrated if they finally offer me a 32GB card but not a Class 10 card.

At this point I just want to cut my losses and be done with Motorola. This phone also has connectivity issues in which I cannot connect to the internet even when WIFI and 4G both have signal.

SMH... Great phone, lot's of problems.
[Atrix 4G General] ChumleyEX:
How do you use the phone without the touch screen, aren't you basically going without the phone anyways?
[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
best thing i can suggest for you to do is keep asking for someone higher up on the food chain while you're in contact with customer service, eventually you'll get to someone with the power to solve your problems. do you have any way to prove that your SD card was actually in the phone you sent them? and did you compare IMEI's with the phone you sent, and the phone you got back? they might have just replaced the phone without checking to see if you had an SD card or not in the old one. if they did do that though, it's a real shame your new phone has the same problems.
[Atrix 4G General] gzrecoil:
I can't use the phone. I can get it to work, but the touch screen is unreliable and frequently freezes as if a raindrop was on it and causing input.

I am able to answer phone calls for the most part, but not much else.

I am going to keep it until after the weekend and send it back again.

Unfortunately, no I don't really have a good way to prove I did not remove the card.

I do have my receipt from Newegg, but that is really all I have to go on.

It's a shame, hopefully they have cameras and can nab the guy putting the SD card in his pocket.
[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
what about the phone itself? is it the same one you sent in, do you know the IMEI of your phone so you can compare?
[Atrix 4G General] gzrecoil:
IMEI is the same, it is the same phone.

I am curious what they did to remove the "Unlocked" from the bootscreen.
[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
RSD flash stock firmware removes the 'unlocked' from the bootloader. you're still unlocked, you just have to reflash pudding.

i hope that you get everything sorted out for you man. it always sucks to get bad customer service :(
[Atrix 4G General] gzrecoil:
Thanks a lot, it really is a bummer.

What's the most frustrating is that I pre-ordered this phone and told so many people to get it(at least 10 of which actually did, imagine how many of their friends did too), and now I am the one experiencing the most problems.

I've never even OC'd. I am at least happy that they did not refuse my warranty for having an unlocked bootloader alone, for that I give them props.

I thought I might have to fight them over these repairs even though they have nothing to do with the bootloader.

:/
[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
it's a real shame, i've received nothing but good support from Moto. i had an old Razer that got replaced two or three times, even after the warranty ran out.

they've always been expedient and friendly with me, extremely helpful. i guess the guy working on your phone was just a bad apple in the bunch. maybe you can get someone in Motorola Mobility to fix your problems and put this all behind you, the Atrix really is an amazing phone and i'm sure Moto will have a lot more great products out after Google finishes their takeover.
[Atrix 4G General] txaggies07:
I sent my Atrix in because turning on Wifi would crash the phone. I got it back the first time and it still had issues. I sent it in again (and got Motorola to send me a Fedex label for free shipping). This time they sent me a replacement phone. While not the best experience, I would say they did what they were obligated to do.
[Atrix 4G General] gzrecoil:
My phone was so new I would accept nothing but prepaid labels for the return, and they did issue them to my surprise. I was also very happy with this action.

You are lucky that you got a replacement phone, I wish they offered me the same option since I am also having trouble with WIFI & 3g/4g.

I am overwhelmed so far by the positive experiences with motorolas support listed in this thread, I hope they are also able to provide me the same experience and retain me as a loyal customer.

I loved my V600 back in the day, and never had problems with my RAZR.
[Atrix 4G General] Celidonius:
Why would you send Motorola an unlocked phone? You knew you voided their warranty yet you still expected them to fix it?
[Atrix 4G General] DroidRunner:
They took the SD card as payment to turning a blind eye to the unlocked phone.

[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Feel your pain with the FP reader and screen, but regarding the SDCARD.................your own fault. Should have removed it before you sent it in! Sorry bout' your luck there.

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

You "may" void your warranty. Many people are returning phones with unlocked bootloaders and receiving them back working and with unlocked bootloaders. Nothing anywhere I have seen states you absolutely will void your warranty. If the bootloader unlock doesn't cause the problem, they legally will waste a lot of time and money on lawyers for nothing, so it appears they are just ignoring unlocked bootloaders.
[Atrix 4G General] gzrecoil:
Great news! The SD card has been re-covered. It was shipped back to me with the battery cover and was hiding in the bottom right of the fedex pak. I didn't even think to look there since the letter included only mentioned they were shipping back the battery cover.

At the time I was so mad they shipped back my cracked battery cover instead of a new one I didn't even do a thorough search of the package.

Now I just have to get it back in there to fix the FP Scanner & Screen.

PHEW!
[Atrix 4G General] antuus:
I agree with the poster that questioned why on earth you would send back an unlocked phone for warranty service.

I would at least wipe the phone back to stock via RSD or any other method there may be. I've been in customer service where we forced the customer to wipe the device prior to working on it.

The motorola site explicitly says:

WHAT NOT TO SEND

Sim Card

Batteries

Battery Door

Cables

Software

Oh dam dude, that sucks. I'm sorta in the same boat as you and I'm on my 3rd atrix..... Still waiting for my NEXT replacement. And yea, I was also guaranteed the express repair and was then downgraded... I'll post my full story when I get home.
[Atrix 4G General] matthew5025:
I am going to look stupid, but I don't understand what goes on in the repair service in the US.

1. Why are all of you involving your carrier? What if you bought your phone without a contract?

2. You guys talk about 'sending in'. Do you actually mail your phone in?

I might sound stupid, but in my country, after you get your phone from your carrier and it is tested by you to be working at the point of sale, even if the phone spoils after 1 day, the carrier will not entertain any requests. For repairs, we bring our phone down to a repair centre, and they will call to inform us to pickup when it is ready.
[Atrix 4G General] Kraize:
In the US, consumers have rights. Enough said. I don't want to get into a huge argument about consumer rights in other countries. Just know that manufacturer and carriers provide warranties for mobile phones bought from them.
[Atrix 4G General] Moonshield:
Hey

This goes to the OP:

First I'm glad to hear you recovered your SD card, next time just remember not to send it anywhere, it is yours, and no one should receive it. Moreover, no one will repair you anything regarding the SD card, since you bought it separately.

Second, regarding your Atrix, did you by any chance wiped something regarding the PDS in the recovery? I heard of a problem like yours that the screen stopped working properly, and it was due to wiping the PDS partition. Try to flash a fresh rom, preferred one with some motorola junk on it (i.e. not CM7), or to restore a NAND backup that you know for sure to have worked well before.

Hope it helps
