Can't answer your question but I'm getting service all the time again but no data connection just keeps asking for sim card. These 4g phones are whack lol. 1.5-2mb down is fine for a phone for me. I'd blow the biggest ass in the guys face that came up with LTE haha! I'm just buzzed up now. Total unprofessional here lol.

EDIT:I think after it turns on it goes through some kind of loop where it keeps looking for sim every 10 seconds or so then just gives up lol. That's my best explanation. Very odd.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vettejock99:
Thanks for the response. I tried that just now and it didn't work, and I also tried renaming it to the apns-conf-cdma.xml and also next apns-conf.xml and no dice here. Maybe I'll try again on one of the 4.1.2 TW ROMS that wasn't working. This one is 4.3 AOSP and I know it works for "normal" users, just not for my PP-flashed device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] njdan30:
its because your settings in qpst are set to simple ip not mob ip i had same issues when flashing to ntelos and when u go off touch wiz roms you lose data aosp work differently its an easy fix if you know proper settings and aa ha passwords for you network
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vettejock99:
I thought it might be something like that but I've used a number of AOSP roms that worked just fine....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] itwhit:
4.1.1 or 4.1.2

Norcal - which version are you on (4.1.1 or 4.1.2), and is it stock or custom rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] norcal4877:
Its on 4.0.4 stock. mobile data just won't go on... I only changed a few settings like ha and aaa passwords, username and passwords(from the donor) added rev tunneling, addresses, and nv only in RUIM config. All the normal stuff from the donor that I've done in the past..

Also enabled profile 0 since it was disabled on this one(from the original RUIM config maybe). Of course MDN/MIN pair as well. I'm kind of at a loss here. I should have researched the different models first. I'm behind on the times.

Good news is QPST works to write this one though and DFS works for some settings. I was hoping I could at least get 1x data lol. I have all the info ready for 3g though. Might try to swap this one with a verizon one or something. I'm not even sure which one gives the least amount of problems. Whatcha think?

If anyone has a USCC GS3 that they would want to share the settings I would be very grateful.

By the time I posted last night I was good and tuned up lol.

EDIT:This thing is stuck in media device usb mode as well even with usb settings set to MTP. WTF lol ghetto.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] njdan30:
Try **87284 might only work on 4.1.2 though
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] norcal4877:
Yeah that works even on 4.1.2(original version it had on it)but that's only to change the usb settings for dm mode after enabling the hidden menu.

Also you need to let everyone know you are trying to flash to USSC Prepaid not PPlus, it is different......

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] norcal4877:
##786 doesn't work on this phone. The one that does work is *2767*3855# but it doesn't reset all the info I don't think. I have to double check. I listed exactly what I did. All basic things that I can change to whatever anyone thinks.

Its on mobile IP. That was another setting I noticed on the donor phone. I have an i500(vzw)that I may try to flash to uscc just to see if I can get data to work. The mobile data button is actually greyed out and says insert sim to activate network services when I click on it on the GS3. Is that normal?

I am flashing to USC prepaid that is correct but its a CDMA carrier just like the others so IDK. You would think mobile data would be enabled but it just couldn't pull an IP addy if settings were wrong. The changing settings part of it only took like 2 minutes, as I only changed a few settings. Both the donor(HTC ONE V)and GS3 are both US cellular phones so it makes sense the settings were close even though the phones are different manufacturers.

EDIT:Yup, doesn't reset anything having to do with the radio. If anyone knows that correct code please tell. I tried another code as well(can't remember)but it didn't work either. Thanks!

Just insert att or T-mobile sim card and boom 3g will appear :thumbup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Actually thats not true, only on 4.1.2 or up android does he need a sim card

But he can try whatever he likes who knows with USSC prepaid ;)

The ##786# is to RTN on the phone so you could try again, you got something wrong and when you go in changing all sorts of things that happens sometimes.

norcall: I also asked you to message me, so i could look at it again........ Going to bed soon ;)

MMS with picture fails

I have both native msging and VZ msging on my Galaxy S3 that Viper flashed to PPlus [THANK YOU VIPER, IT WAS WELL WORTH THE DONATION!]

Everything is fine so far after 2 weeks EXCEPT I can't send an MMS that contains a picture. Both msging apps act the same: they sit there saying "Sending" for hours and eventually the msg fails. How can I fix this?

Geoff
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gadget069:
Do you have a sim card in? Do not use the native messanger, only use Verizon messanger. If you're still having issues, have Viper take a quick look at it to make sure everything stuck. I've had 2 phones flashed by him and working perfectly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] norcal4877:
Sorry Viper I totally forgot. :( I'll get with you on that. Sooo much drama over here..... Thanks for keeping me in mind. BTW, ##RTN DOES work. Must have been me. Too much sauce... The only time I get to do what I want is on Sun-Mon and I kind of over do it sometimes muhahaha.

Someone said you can put an att/tmobile sim in it and data will work? I forgot to mention that Sunday I found someone with an actual USCC sim card. I popped it in and of course it had the guys number on it instead of the the one I want. Nothing worked but this phone is blacklisted anyways.

EDIT:I RTN and reset everything. All I've done so far is loaded prl and changed Ruim config to NV only.

Turn off WiFi

---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

Assuming this is a Verizon samsung:

Sim card is only needed to get rid of no sim notification and to allow the display of 3g or 1x icon, sim must not be a vzw lte sim (at&t, vodaphone, t-mo all work)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] norcal4877:
So does the sim(att or whatever)just show the 3g icon or make it so you can actually enable mobile data? What happens on your guys S3's(with sim slot no sprint)when you turn on mobile data? Does data just work but says to access network services insert sim?

I really didn't change many settings at all. Just mip profile and the usual stuff. I copied those settings exactly from the donor. I don't think this thing is even trying to connect at all. Mobile data is just off completely.

I really appreciate everyone's help. :) Hopefully this will help someone down the road. :)

EDIT:BTW, this phone was on 4.1.2 at first. Does that change anything you think or a simple odin back to 4.0.4 should be good enough? Its still acting like a sim is needed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gdstuart:
It's a Verizon Galaxy S3.

Turning wi-fi off did not help, the unsent MMS msg is still grinding away after 15 minutes.

I don't understand the SIM card advice from gadget069. Is he warning me NOT to have a SIM card in (which is Viper32's advice), or is he saying I should have one in?

Geoff
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
Don't need the sim on the Verizon S3 unless you dislike the nagging no sim notification or no 3G icon. As for MMS, have you tried GoSMS Pro? Under MMS Settings-APN Configuration, I have MMSC as http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=[10 digit number] and the port as 8080 and have no issue sending or receiving MMS. I'm also running SynergyRom r484 if it matters.

Leave Sim Card out of Verizon S3 Phones and USSC S3 up to 4.1.1 Android.

You are just asking for MMS problems by inserting a Sim............

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
Viper's below response. He shouldn't have had to say it but i'm glad he did.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
1. I do not agree with the cloning of esns to get service in a manner that is not intended.

2. Family Mobile Phone is GSM not CDMA anyways.

3. Verizon Prepaid Division is on to the cloning and is killing the data on the phones every few days if not sooner.

4. Honestly the topic states PPlus, Selectel, and Next-G Flashing which all have benefits. If you are wanting to go with one of these carriers people are here to help.

This is my personal stance on the Cloning etc. and I know others do not share my same stance and that's ok, but I would rather not not bring it up or give any info in my topic. (Hoepfully you can understand my reasoning)

XDA is a great forum and I have spent allot of hours compiling all this information and if it was to get taken down because of some of the things I mentioned above allot of people would not get valuable info and help that they are looking for.

Great Tip. MMS now working great.

Thanks to this great thread, the excellent work of the xda developers and my pervious experience converting sprint s3 to pageplus, I was able to easily convert a really cheap verizon note 2 to pageplus.

Verison Note 2 - SCH-i605

Android Version - 4.1.2

Using a very old AT&T Sim card and I have a dual mode phone with AT&T and Verizon (pretty cool). I have text, calls and data on AT&T and Verizon. All I did was change what network to use under mobile network settings. This is sweet!

I have one question. Is there a hidden menu to force only cdma mode? I see no reason to have LTE turned on.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
Build Prop Edit:

ro.cdma.subscription=4

this will set the mode to cdma/evdo (auto prl) on boot

not exactly what you want if you want to use those gsm bands. but if 3g on cdma is your goal it should work (as long as it's not deprecated)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] daCLOUD:
Yep you can! I agree why not turn off LTE radio and save your battery. Download the app from the market 'Phone Info' and in the app go into 'Phone Information' menu and set it to 'CDMA auto (PRL)'. This will give you 3G data and fall back to 1x when needed with working voice for making calls. Don't set it to 'EVDO only' or you will have 3G data with no voice signal for using the phone. :good:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alphahere:
Great little app.

Started looking at this app and realized this app was only a shortcut to a hidden system setting (same menu on my galaxy nexus).

So if you have nova launcher installed (or any app that creates shortcuts) you can access this menu without the above app.

For nova launcher -> Shortcuts -> Activities -> Settings -> Testing

Created a shortcut and then deleted the app.

Thanks again for pointing me this app that creates a shortcut basically.

I kind of blew it on the talking about taboo stuff sorry about that Viper and XDA. If PP didn't suck so bad in my area I would continue to use them but I've been dealing with them for too long.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ganjamatik:
hey viper- all the passwords are accepted on the us cellular s4 but almost nothing will write to the phone in cdma workshop or dfs- not prl min or other basic stuff- it all says write failed -- read only in cdmaws - have u ever had this issue and thanks for your help!!

irrelevant. updated in post on page 150....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ma$etas:
i have a Verizon Gnote 2 on page+ im currently running custom rom Jellybeans build 21 which is good rom but i have been dirty flashing the phone since build 19 and seems like it needs fresh install but im concern if i do a Wipe dalvik, Wipe Cache, and wipe data then it will revert everything back to Verizon info instead of page plus. everything currently works flawlessly.. phone, text, mms, data etc.. no issues just that the phone seems laggy since ive been dirty flashing on top of older builds

what do you guys think? will it revert back to verizon or will the data and mms settings stay on page plus?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
u can wipe ..all that will not mess with the flash....flashing is dealing with programing the phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ma$etas:
so doing a Factory data wipe in TWRP Recovery/ clean in install wont affect data and mms settings
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
no because the data is set thru the flash...and the mms is either set thru Verizon messenger or go SMS pro ....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ma$etas:
ok cool thanks.. i dont use go sms only have Verizon messenger so that seems to be working
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
go SMS it has a lot more customization that u can go on it ...I prefer that over the Verizon messenger that's just me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ma$etas:
i used it before but would have many issues with it but the main reason i stop using it was due to alot of messages not coming through till about 3-4 hrs after they were sent or a day later...

there was times where my wife would send me a text which i never got, then she would call me why havent u replied back to my message i would say i havent received any message from you but then when we would be home before going to bed i would get the message and she would be like who is texting you right now.. i would look at the text and would say YOU are, the text she sent me finally came through ..LOL
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
yea I at a similar problem ...but it wasn't that the phone wasn't getting the messages its because the for messanger was closes down ..I need that it was closed that it wasn't running in the background ..i dodnt get my messages until i opened up go sms .. the normal stock messanger notification wasn't working to tell me that i had the message honestly I don't no what I did to fix it but that's all I use...

..but also before u do a wipe on the phone use titanium backup that's always a good choice
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ma$etas:
ill just stick with the verizon messaging app not alot of options on it but it works.. i use the phone heavily for work so i need the reliability of stock app.

also already have a backup in TWRP recovery from before i started to flash roms but already flashed to page+ .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
OK koo and I was just saying do the titanium back because u really can't use the backup u do in twrp .....titanium is more to put that data back on your phone for the apps that was on your phone like if u want to restore the saved data u had in a downloaded app ...if u try to restore the data that was made in twrp it could mess up your phone and make it force close
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ma$etas:
Ok but i still could use TWRP backup i have just in case all the settings were to get messed with for whatever reason.. say data or mms are not working i could just go into recovery restore the full back up not just data settings and since in that back up i had everything working (data, mms) it should work again right?

i dont really care for the saved data i have on the apps so if were too loose that its cool.. all my work stuff i have it synced online
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
yea...as long as u put the Verizon messenger bk on your phone u will get the mms working and...data will not change ..and the back u do in the twrp is really if u don't like the rom that u flash to ..u can just go back to the rom u had before u flashed the rom

Verizon Note 2 to Pageplus

Hi, Viper,

I just got one Verizon Note 2 and want to flash it to Pageplus. Following ur instruction and using DFS to flash it. But seems have some issues. I cannot write anything to the phone. Mode change, offline. Something like that.

I don't have sim card inside, and the system is 4.1.2 stock rom. Is there any thing I missed?

Thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
dfs is OK to use but sometimes dfs is tricky to get things to write to the phone cdma workshop is a better program to use..I think its a good thing to have the phone in airplane mode while flashing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goback211:
I used DFS to flash Sprint GS3 to Pageplus before. But never touch Verizon 4G phones. Is there any instruction about the flashing of Verizon 4G phones without sim card.

My problem is that no matte whether I write PRL into the phone or not, it always ask for sim card. Never saw this on Sprint phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
u take the sim card out the phone when u flash the phone and put it in air plane mode while u flash

I did use dfs to flash 2 Verizon s3 to straight talk ...but the sim card icon really don't mean anything its just there because the phone is use to having a sim card in it to work and that the phone can't ota.if it wasn't no similar card in it with Verizon other than that I work put one in to get the icon off the phone....I think they had a mod a few pages bk to get it off with out a sim card being put in
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Viper32:
Well this was true the airplane mode deal, but since some of the last updates it will not write in airplane mode on some phones.

Viper
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
yea the 1st s3 I did it with out taking it out of air plane mode and on the 2nd I had to take it out of airplane halfway thru to get write the data settings and keys to the phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goback211:
No lucky... I switched to airplane mode. Still the same. I tried to use QPST to change the mode to CDMA only, and flashed the PRL to the phone. Seems the mode has been changed, but have no idea whether the PRL has been writen into the phone. Try to dial some number, keep telling that I need to insert a sim card to make the phone operate.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
I tried the mod and I took it bk off my phone because it give me data but just 1x and it stayed at that so I deleted the mod ...I'm thinking u have a halfed flashed phone ...vipers the man help u on that one so ima leave it alone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] goback211:
OK. Thanks anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alphahere:
Thanks for the information. Sorry I did not hit the thanks. Anyway did not want to edit build.prop. That edit would have to be done each time I flashed a different rom. Anyway the PhoneInfo network settings does not change after a reboot. That is the best option for me because I use T-Mobile sometimes. I want to change network on the fly and have it remain the same after reboot or ROM flash. PhoneInfo (testing menu) does the job nicely.

*#*#4636#*#* does not work on my phone. I tried that first. Whatever.

Thanks again and no harm meant.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mrhunter13:
if any body needed the phone info app..u don't need to put in a hidden menu code or mod to do the same thing .. hit me up ...the play store don't have it no more
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] afextwin:
Thanks for the update, last time I tried it, the phone info did revert (but this was on a moto phone), only build prop edit made it sticky, and sadly i pasted the wrong value....the value i had pasted can only be a 1 or 0. my bad. :-/

Sorry ##INFO didn't work, I just tested it and sure enough no access to it after enabling hidden menu with *#22745927, i even tried *#,**,*#*# and everything else i could think of that Samsung has used as a prefix, suffix for these types of codes.

I'm testing the codes I had used in the past and almost all of them are disabled on JB....it's been too long since I messed with this phone and i appologize for posting without first testing. :-/

After enabling hidden menu via *#22745927:
**87284 works for PhoneUtil
*#1234# shows firmware versions
*#0*# opens hardware test menu
*#7353# opens a service menu
*#3282*727336*# shows storage overview menu

I'm at a loss as to why the majority of the code's are no longer working.

Thread linked below has all the code's.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36691629

I'd be interested to find out if any of these work on ICS that do not work on JB - I swear I accessed PhoneUtil at least once from a JB S3, but it may have been the USCC variant, idk.

some build prop edits and values that i've had to change on various (non samsung) phones, and some that i don't understand and would like more information on.

#all of these dial 911
#persist.ril.ecclist=911,*911,#911,119,118,999,08,000,112,110

#Not sure what this one does:
#persist.ril.modem.mode =1

# USB modes allowed for UI and switching
#ro.ngp_available=1
#ro.modem_available=0

# Default network type.
# 7 => Global Phone (4 => CDMA).
#ro.telephony.default_network=4
#ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=310000
#ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Verizon

# Set this for GSM <--I'm not sure about this, might need to be set to 1 to enable cdma.subscription, used in combination with below entry?
#ro.cdma.subscription=0

#Could/Should this be set to NV for PPC, Selectel, Next-G? Might be a fix for no SIM if this stops the OS from checking RUIM by removing the entry for the value
#ril.subscription.types=NV,RUIM

I can't seem to locate the pastebin containing what each telephony.default.network type is, there are 7, but as you can see from above, 0 = gsm, 4 = cdma auto prl and 7 = global.

edit: IOTHiddenMenu on Sprint TW ROM's - is it still baked in or is it gone?

I don't have a Sprint S3,S4,N2 to find out.
