OK in order to get MMS on cm 10.2 u need to edit the APN in system/etc/apns-conf.XML ..... Change the sprint mmsc to http://mms.plspictures.com....... There is 3 or 4 places that need it changed so read through slowly.... Once edited and saved reboot phone and make sure you're APN changes stuck.....

If did then u need to go to settings and reset phone ... Once you do this it will re load you're newly modified APN settings and BAM MMS works ......

It will always say pending when u check to c if they have received it .... Idk y that is ...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
Here's the link to my apn-config.XML .... I use this for every ROM except stock and MMS works every time : https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1DGsUzId7AHSVppbF8zVTN4ODA/edit?usp=docslist_api
[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
HA!!! I did the same thing today at work. Couldnt get the the rom tool kit to open APNS... kept saying non installed and pay for full version. So i pulled them out of the cm10.2 and did the updates manually. Came up with the same thing. Awesome work! Thanks for all your help! Looks like this might be the big one, tested on two phones; working over wifi. :victory:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
Hey no problem .... Once I had changed ROMs the root tool box kept saying same thing so after monkeying around I finally had it .....know if I could figure out y it says pending even tho they receive it ....
[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
mine just says sent. its working like normal. i did however start by flashing the teeny bin original then rebooting and installing the teenbin alt/ slb stack. then flashing the apn. working on two phones. standard gapps, not pa gapps.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
Mine says sent to but I have it set where it tells me when they received it ...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] DQEight:
Wifi

I thought this was for connecting to the Ting mobile network operator?

Can someone explain what the Wifi fix means?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
mms over wifi
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Thorminathor:
The v9 apns occasionally do get mms for me.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
Yes after editing the APN mmsc to the plspictures .... Factory reset the phone and restarted the phone ... Need to factory reset in recovery because this way when phone boots it loads new APN setting not original ...

so it sounds like i need to make an injector to insert the apn into the rom before installation... It can be done manually but it would be way sexier to do it with a utility...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
Yes that would b awesome....my new ROM builds will have 2 versions 1 with stock APN and 2 with our APN ...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
13 lite should work nicely. only sprint; vs having verzion and such in there.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
Huh ?

Sent from my fingertips to you're eyeballs !
[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
the v13 is a stripped down version of the working apns. i didnt know if you still were using one that had all the other carrier info in it.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigfdaddy2:
Na I use stock just put the mmsc change and have it save to each ROM I use

[Sprint LG Optimus G] VoluntaryMan:
So can the ultimate apn list work for plain Sprint users or just for Ting?

I'm trying to port ParanoidAndroid to the LS970 but I want it to work with Ting automatically!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
It's gonna be Ting only. The issue being, every setting is the same except the mms server. So it overlays the Sprint ones; unlike MetroPCS, for example, which uses its own. (realistically, lte and mms won't work for sprint but 3g and sms should, but i can't test this)

I've got some ideas, about building a rom customizer for windows, that could inject bootanimations and apns and such. Been kinda lazy about doing it because it doesn't take much to just put them in there.

I would be excited to see PA make its way to the ls970! Especially when CM is about to turn evil.:crying:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] VoluntaryMan:
So you don't know of any way to have both? That sucks.

Maybe you could make a zip that would inject the apn into another zip automatically?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
From the problems I've had, the phone can't distinguish the service. So if you have Ting and you try to send mms without the APNs, it acts like it sent but doesn't go anywhere. That should be the same for Sprint users with the Ting APNS.

Yeah, a simple rom customizer would be good.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Thorminathor:
Yea the ultimate apn v2 still isn't doing it for me. Wondering if some apns are regionalised?

[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
I had some issues that required i take it back to stock... wipe all internals, lgnpst everything back, get stock running and redo everything. The i started putting the apn into the rom and then flashing it also if it stopped working after the first reboot. got everything working right now on AOKP 9-28-2013.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] poo706:
I'm confused. Is the apns-conf.xml loaded at the start of every boot or just the first time the ROM initializes?

[poo]
[Sprint LG Optimus G] VoluntaryMan:
Unfortunately it's on first boot :/
[Sprint LG Optimus G] poo706:
So if I want to use the ultimate apn for 4.3, I need to flash it and my ROM during the same recovery session, correct? This information that's getting wiped away, does it live on /system or /data? In other words, is a clean install required or is a dirty flash sufficient?

[poo]
[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
What I do is insert the apn file into the rom.

open ultimate_apnsv2.zip > extract the apns-conf.xml > copy it to an easy location

open (DO NOT EXTRACT) the rom.zip > navigate to "system/etc/" > overwrite the apns-conf.xml with the one from earlier.

I've had a better outcome inserting the apn into the rom before flashing than flashing after the fact. but sometimes you need to flash it after the first reboot.

Sweet. Definitely subscribing here.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] foolforfood:
Is anybody in an lte area? I'm on cm and an having issues with my lte. Basically when I have lte on I get no data whatsoever. When I turn it off, I connect to evdo no problem. I'm just wondering if anybody has beaten this? I do have lte where I live so I'd like to get it working lol. I've heard of people getting by this by changing apns.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] poo706:
I am. Are you on 4.2 or 4.3? Have you tried any of the Ting APN flashable zips?

[poo]
[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
This is a weird issue. I had the same problem. The only solution I have had is to go back to a stock rom and update prl and profile. I just put up two new apns as well; lite apns v7 is for 4.1 / 4.2 and v8 for 4.3.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] foolforfood:
Yeah I have inserted them and flashed them. Still working on it. I'm on cm10.2

I'll try that again. Basically just boot up, update and then restore cm? Thanks for your help. I noticed that when I go to the phone settings (*#*#4636#*#*) when it's set to lte the network says unknown. Could it be that the software isn't recognizing the network? It will connect to ehrpd sometimes until it recognizes that there's an lte signal and then it disappears.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
yeah, i got it working for a time by adding a bogus apn to the list in the phone. had to use an app to open the apns, (which show empty). after a few days it stopped though. then nothing would bring it back and i had to go stock.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] poo706:
I had no luck with the ultimate apns zip for 4.3. The lite v8 zip is new and I haven't tried it. However, several people have been saying that my zip is working beautifully for them. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2428999

[poo]
[Sprint LG Optimus G] VoluntaryMan:
Yea I've done the same thing and have just been throwing the modified CM APN list into each new nightly I flash.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
Interesting, Its the same as the original ting apn with version 8 added. I had one like that too but not all the apns need to have the mmsc set to ting. i guess it doesn't hurt anything but i noticed i was getting duplicate sms sends when i would do short messages. So the recipient was getting my message 2 or 3 times. but if its not then awesome.

the backup feature is hot. how do you feel about me "requisitioning" it?

i was thinking use it to pull apns out of working roms but it wont since it does something with them after first boot.

EDIT:

Sorry i was looking at a response not your original post apn. I also tried that to the apn, v13 is that and v13 lite has all the other providers removed.

also i just read through your posts; i'm glad it wasn't just me seeing weird apns that look stock or aren't there.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] poo706:
I don't send or receive MMS hardly ever, but never had a duplication issue. I've had to use Sprint Diagnostics to override the MMSC URL several times after installing a new ROM, even with every one set to plspictures in my apns-conf.xml. Do what you'd like with my zip, it's all for the greater good!

[poo]
[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
SPAGHETT! :highfive:

MMS was my main concern; the wife wanted it working. I got wifi everywhere and not having reliable mms sucked. so i never knew if some one sent me something or group chat being stupid. Man i wish someone could tell us what happened to the apns after first boot. We could solve this ****.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
Sometimes you have to manually edit them in the phone. Ofline Sim APN Database is the only app i've found that will let me open the apn settings, unless you have voice dialer ("Open A-P-Ns") then open the apns-conf.xml and copy one of the LTE apns with the ting url. YOU HAVE TO MENU BUTTON > SAVE. This got me going when I was out of town but stopped a few days later.

I went back to stock updated prl profile, made backups of partitions, efs, got gps lock and then went back to aokp.

Poo's APN worked to give me 4G on KitKat release... Switched out APNs, factory reset and it works solid.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] cobak:
Just found this thread over on Ting's forum with an updated (as of 11/23) flashable zip that includes latest CM Sprint APNs:

help.ting.com/entries/23423026-Flashable-Zip-Fixed-LTE-eHRPD-for-CyanogenMod
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MonstaDriva:
Kitkat Ting

I've been trying the slimkat and cm 11 kitkats on my gnex . Love em but I lose 3g data each time . Radio works but I can't complete the data part of the activation . sprint error code 601 . Would any of these apn's possibly address that ? I googled that error and it says

Error Code 601

System error code 601 means "The attempt to find the object found an object matching by ID on the volume but it is out of the scope of the handle used for the operation." This error code may also display as "ERROR_FOUND_OUT_OF_SCOPE" or as the value 0x259.

I'm in no way a coder but that seems to say sprint recognizes me but something isn't quite right about me so it declines to handshake with me . Anyone have a suggestion on how to get 3g working ? The icon lights up and turns orange for a couple of minutes and its like its denied and so it goes back off .I've never edited an apn or swapped one out . Any ideas ? thanks
[Sprint LG Optimus G] adio201:
Hey guys I'm on sprint and I having the same problem as the guy on the post above. My question is how do I flash stock kikat aosp 4.4 xml
[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
my understanding is the data switching issue is upstream with cm. there are some workarounds but for the most part its an issue that's plaguing custom roms everywhere right now. its on the compiler end, getting the right apns to stick.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MonstaDriva:
This is strange then because I've been using your 4.4 lite version and its been working great for me on CM11 and Slimkat right down to adding plspictures for me . I noticed your new CM11 file doesn't add the ting info iin .My method is to flash the rom , flash gapps and then flash the apns-conf.xml file two times . Everything sticks just fine for me and data hands off between lte/3g/wifi . I can go drive and come into a 4G area and it switches over . When I leave 4G then 3G comes back . Flashing the zip did not work on an already installed rom for me . Theres something about having it injected at first boot when everything gets written that first time . Has anyone else tried this ? I've had perfect data on every build I've tried on two gnex's for slimkat and cm 11 since Nov 29th when I started using your file . As I said I'm using the lite version . Just curios now on your new file , the CM11 Ting apn . I can't find one reference to Ting inside of it and it doesn't fill in the mmsc like your lite version does . Whats it suppose to do that the other Ting Lite and Ting Full doesn't do ? They both work fine so I'm puzzled about your new one .
[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
Sorry for any confusion. When CM11 was published I pulled the apns out and modified them for ting. Thanks for the feed back, I'll pull the link if its causing problems.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] VoluntaryMan:
I've been using cm-11.0 and just changing all instances of sprintpcs to plspictures but LTE doesn't work. I'm pretty sure it's not the 3G/4G handoff since it doesn't work when I reboot either. Any suggestions?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] poo706:
The plspictures is only relevant to MMS. For LTE, you need to swap out /system/etc/apns-conf.xml.

[poo]
[Sprint LG Optimus G] VoluntaryMan:
Aren't those the only changes to that file? What else is different?

Thanks.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] poo706:
On the two lines where mcc=310 and mnc=120, apn="n.t8.ispsn" for Ting, as opposed to apn="n.ispsn" for Sprint.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] spoonydx:
Is that something I can do with CM File Manager? Or should I use APN backup and restore? I, for the life of me, cannot get LTE working on CM11 on my GS3 - it was working great on 10.2, but hasn't worked since then. I've tried flashing about half a dozen zips, factory resets, etc, and still no luck. Any pointers anyone can give would be greatly appreciated :laugh:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] poo706:
Have you tried my zip?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=45205796

[poo]
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spoonydx:
I have indeed. Still no LTE :( Shouldn't make any difference if I'm using ART, right? Maybe I'll try wiping everything, flashing the zip again, and seeing what happens.

Edited to add: My other problem is that LTE sucks where I live, so I have to drive halfway across town to test it. Alas.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] VoluntaryMan:
you've tried wiping everything but data, flashing ROM, gapps, APN, and then factory resetting?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spoonydx:
Not exactly, although what I've read on here so far seemed to indicate that only a factory reset would be necessary after flashing the zip, but I'll give that a go. After my ingress run ;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] VoluntaryMan:
a factory reset "should" fix it but if anything will work I'd imagine what I outlined will.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] poo706:
I played with the values in the xml a ton prior to releasing my zip and never had to do anything more than reboot for changes to take effect. FYI.

[poo]
[Sprint LG Optimus G] VoluntaryMan:
really? That's very interesting... I wonder what sets yours apart...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] poo706:
In the op for my zip, I say to flash it and say nothing about wiping anything. Quite a few people have reported that my zip worked for them. I have to assume that most didn't wipe either.

[poo]
[Sprint LG Optimus G] VoluntaryMan:
I'm not doubting it does, just flashed it myself. Just have to wait until I get to an LTE area to test it out.

I was just wondering what makes other zips require that when yours doesn't.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
Ive had it work both ways... some roms require to factory reset or be injected, while others will just take the flash.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] b4u2:
Anyone getting stable LTE on 4.4.2 and if so which ROM and which APN? If anyone is on Ting and could possibly provide their APN and data settings with working LTE (any device running KK is fine).
[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
If you're getting LTE that means the apns are working. A couple of months ago there were issues with LTE WiFi and 3g switching. I've only been following the cm build for the optimus g. Apparently all that has been a taken care of. The other thing to try, is going back to stock and running that for a bit. Then do a nice clean flash to a custom ROM. If you have been going from custom to custom for a while **** tends to get wonky.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] TheValk:
I went from rooted stock Photon Q with everything working to the 1-26-14 KitKat Gummy. Everything seemed to work out of the box, MMS, SMS, 3G, except for LTE. I have flashed the KitKat zip and have no luck. I'm alright with only 3G, but wouldn't mind the extra speed at times, especially when tethering.

Thanks for the work!!!!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
I've always had better luck inserting the updated apns into the rom before flashing. alternatively, you can flash the file do a factory reset and then it should take. Let me know how it goes.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] TheValk:
A factory reset after flashing fixed the problem. Good thing Titanium Backup was installed.

Thanks for the help again.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bigsupersquid:
I'm not a Ting user, but cm11 on my Virgin Mobile device is having apn troubles with mms.

your lite apn file is the first I've found with references to what the bearer setting is for each data mode for Sprint which service my phone rides on (it only goes up to EVDO-A.)

Thanks!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] b4u2:
This works for me.

I didn't have any luck flashing Ting APN zips (through version 3), but I did have luck with a tip I found on the Ting forums on the same topic:

Get an app called Offline Sim APN. Open and click Search apn settings for this sim; select sprint, click through the warning, and click Go to android apn settings. Then choose the option menu and click Reset to default.

I did have to go into *#*#3282#*#* and turn LTE on again then it popped right up following the instructions. For some reason flashing the zip (APN file) does not get the settings right. I found that there must be something buried that overrides the APN flash.

I have been using this method for a few weeks and still works.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dsmryder:
First of all, thanks for doing this. Second, I have been having the darnedest time getting MMS to work.

I might have to edit this post, but to start

I'm running MoKee KitKat on an epic touch with FL14 modem.

I flashed the full apn file... Not sure what other information you would need.

Oh, I'm using Google hangouts for smss the stock one won't allow me to get into its settings to make it the default messenger.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
Did you flash it after you installed the rom? I recommend injecting it into the rom first or after you flash it doing a factory reset. Also, take a look at 8sms. Sometimes just getting it to work is more important. :p
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dsmryder:
Yeah, I had the ROM installed for a couple of weeks. I downloaded the app and it looks good. Thank you. If I have any more issues I'll holla back.

Let me know if you want any more information.

Just to report, the 8sms app worked. I think Google hangouts may have cached the old APN settings and even though the config was changed.

Thanks for the help!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] corona36:
I just hooked up my LGOG on Ting and I can't pull a 4G signal to save my life. When I connect to 3g I'm only connected to 1xRTT. I've tried putting the APN files in manually and flashing them but nothing but 1x connects. Any idea why this is happening and how I might go about fixing it?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] b4u2:
When I clean flashed the latest Vanir or any clean flash I have a hard time getting LTE working. Since I have done this a few times it is now "normal" for me. This usually takes a few reboots. Flash octhrotope Ting apn. Reboot. Go into CDMA tools and turn on LTE under advanced. Go to settings/mobile and set to lte. reboot. Once rebooted check cdma tools and see if LTE still on. go to settings mobile make sure lte set to on. reboot. should stick after 2nd reboot.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] corona36:
2 questions. When you say flash do you mean through recovery or is there a different way to do it? Second, when you say cdma tools do you mean ##data# or the #*#*number *#*# menu? I dropped vzw for this and i was fairly well versed with their networking setup. This is all new to me.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] b4u2:
yes flash the APN from here. CDMA tools is part of Vanir or #*#3282*#*# then go to advanced and turn LTE on.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] corona36:
Aww crap. The #*3282*#* is disabled on the zvc based rom im on.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] b4u2:
Flash this and you will be able to get into the settings.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] corona36:
Just tried flashing that twice and still no luck getting in. When I go through an app it tells me it doesn't work on my device, when I punch in the code it just clears it from my dialer. I tried to reply to you last night but I couldn't hold onto a data connection. When I looked into it further I found out I was only connecting to 1xRTT. The phone refused to connect to EVDO and LTE was nowhere to be found. When the 1x connection did complete once it went latent it would never let me use data until I turned mobile data off and on again. I tried flashing the modem and apns again and still got no results. The apns actually confused me the most since when I flashed them it cleared my apn list.

Maybe this rom is no good for some reason? I've tried flashing it a few times and it has never worked. Time to go for a test drive I suppose.

Btw, all of this was done in an area where I had a full signal both by bars and dBm.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
Go back to a stock rom and update PRL/Profile. Get signal/gps locks. Back up EFS then go to custom roms.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] corona36:
In the process of doing that right now. Do I want to root and do the apns before efs backup or should I hold off?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
On stock you shouldnt need anything to get lte or gps. Just make sure its working then add the apns that match your android version. If you are going to do a custom rom, add the apns into the zip before flashing.
