Simple Fix

I flashed endless zips trying to fix my LTE on CM11 for my Galaxy Nexus. Nothing worked until now. So for those STILL having issues here's an actual fix. I flashed my GNex back to stock 4.3, then navigated to /system/etc/ and copied the original apns-conf file that came with the stock ROM and saved it to my PC. Then I downloaded the Ting APN Android 4.3 version 3.zip file (Google it) and replaced that apns-conf with the stock version I saved earlier. I re-zipped it as 'Ting_APNs_Android_4.4 (02-28-14).zip'. I rebooted my phone to Recovery Mode (TWRP) and did a factory reset (REQUIRED). Then I flashed my 3 ZIP files; CM11(ROM), GAPPs 4.4, and my own Ting_APNs_Android_4.4 (02-28-14).zip. Reboot and setup your device really quick. That's it! If LTE doesn't show up right away disable Wi-Fi if enabled, navigate to Settings>Mobile Networks (under Wireless & Networks) and make sure your mobile Data Connection is enabled and LTE is selected then navigate to Settings>About Phone>Sprint System Updates and click Update Profile and Update PRL. Thanks to the original creator of this file.

Interesting... Not sure why any of that worked; unless its the flashing the apn on installing the rom or something is carrying over. The file you have doesn't have the Ting apn for LTE. Ting uses apn="n.t8.ispsn". I've ben questioning whether or not there is another apn location... apparently there is. Thank you for the info.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dman28401:
No problem. It's the original XML file from the stock Sprint 4.3 ROM that came on my Galaxy Nexus. I don't think Ting requires a special APN to access Sprint's LTE considering we're still on the Sprint network. When I first switched to Ting I never had to modify anything for LTE to work when I was using my stock Sprint ROM. Regular Sprint APNs work on Ting.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] rileysmith:
I'm glad I found this thread. I lost LTE on my phone a few months ago but didn't try too hard to fix it as I never did anything high bandwidth off of wifi anyway. A couple of days ago I updated my ROM (new unified CM11 for some Moto devices) and lost my data connection completely. I flashed the 4.4 lite zip from the OP and wiped my phone with no success, but poo706's zip worked great. Not only do I have data, but LTE is back as well.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread for helping me fix my issue.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] poo706:
That's what I like to hear!

[Sprint LG Optimus G] Jniede:
Thanks a lot! This gave me back LTE on my Galaxy S 3 on Ting. I just upgraded to a 4.4 rom and it wasn't working. Went back into recovery, did a factory reset, installed your apn zip and rebooted. Worked like a charm.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ERAUguy:
And this will work for Sprint LG Optimus G on Ting?

btw, I never had a problem with mms on Ting. Just no LTE, ever.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] s9amme:
I'm on SlimRom 5.4 on my S3. I lost 3G and LTE after flashing and was stuck on 1x. Flashed the 4.4 file in the OP and got 3g/LTE back! thanks! However, I'm unable to send/receive MMS now. SMS works fine.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
hmmm. sometimes if you dont add the file into the rom that happens. try using 8SMS.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Lurker1126:
No LTE after many apn flashes

I am running and AOKP rom on my Note 2. It is a 4.4.4 build. Everything is working wonderfully (dont know about mms though since I dont use it) but LTE just doesnt work. I have flashed your 4.4 file with no luck and several from Ting forums and nothing seems to work. I am not sure what to do. I have tried server AOKP/CM roms over the last year and have always had this same issue. I am sure it can work I just dont know how the heck to make it work. FYI I flashed this ROM coming from a stock 4.2 ROM (rooted) with the latest radio.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] poo706:
Is my fix one of the ones you tried? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2428999
[Sprint LG Optimus G] octhrope:
Some of the roms break and the apns dont load. maybe try poo's fixes or another rom too.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Merudo:
Try rebooting your Note 2. Do you get a LTE icon for the first few minutes? If so you may have a problem with the 4.4.4 radio, in which case you should try flashing the 4.4.2 radio.

If no LTE icon appears, and if you had LTE before, I recommend you flash the stock 4.3 rom with Philz recovery, get the apn-conf.xml file from system/etc/ of your Note 2, and replace the apn-conf.xml file in the Ting APN Fix with the one coming from your android. Then, you can upgrade back to 4.4.4, and flash the modified fix.

---------- Post added at 12:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 AM ----------

I disagree with this claim. I believe your fix can work with other Sprint providers as well, if the apn-conf.xml file in your fix is modified to match another provider's.

All you need to do is follow this guy's instructions and get your own apn-conf.xml.

It worked for me even though I am on FreedomPop (also on Sprint network).
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sportscrazed2:
Thanks at least 3g seems to be working. I'm right at 100mb right now so don't feel like playing around too much but once my cycle ends I'll play around a bit more. Update flased the ones fromhttps://help.ting.com/entries/42358068-LTE-MMS-APN-Fix-Android-4-4-Kit-Kat- and late shows up in status bar but there appears to be no data being sent. Is this bug still present in d2lte? This is driving me freaking crazy. LTE show up as working but it doesn't actually do anything
[Sprint LG Optimus G] J-Pod:
I rooted my fathers Ting Evo 4g LTE, went through the Dev unlock and rumrunner S-off etc and put the latest cm11 nightly (from the cm download page) on his phone and I could not get data to work at all. So I looked around and found several places like this that said it had to do with the APNs and so flashed the zip and still nothing. It would send sms and phone calls but no data, it wouldn't even say 1X, 3G, or LTE above the signal bars. The closest I got was when the 3G symbol appeared above the signal bar but it simply would not connect to the internet. In the quick settings dropdown the signal bars remained orange and there were no up/down indicators at all.

I tried different zips from the Ting forums and some from the Evo 4g LTE forums, wiping and reflashing CM11 often to make sure the zips weren't conflicting, and still absolutely nothing! I am really at a loss here. I had to go through and run the JB 4.1 RUU and immediately 3G was working again and everything. Does anyone have any ideas on this?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] b4u2:
I followed the instructions in this link http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53502055&postcount=16 and got my S4 to work.

The was the first one I tried and unfortunately didn't work. I got so close with the 3G appearing but no internet. thanks
[Sprint LG Optimus G] AaronCompNetSys:
I flashed this on a S3, SlimKat ROM. LTE was fine, no MMS. The APN menu in the OS was blank. Weird. So how in the crap do I get an updated version when the stock ROM pulls a new one fine?

Reflash stock, root stock, run APN Backup (need to make it a system app with Link2SD), grab file, restore backup of SlimKat, restore APN. All works perfect! I'm even using Hangouts only, uninstalled stock messenger.

Link to my files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_q3JcNMHmUYOEJNVkVFNTh4V3c/view?usp=sharing

I have a nandroid of the entire system, stripped, updated with GApps (plus play store only goodies), Ting App, DPI up to 300something and APN baked in, factory reset-able. I plan on resetting it before handing it over to its new novice user.

Jeesh that took forever but I'm glad I'm rid of these stupid MMS bugs. Only thing that wont work right now is wifi carrier mms.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] fuzzy7k:
Your 4.4 apns did not work for me, but with some modification they did the trick. I've updated your zip and uploaded it here.

Tips for installing: If installed post first boot, go to Settings > Mobile network settings > Access Point Names > Reset to default. If things still do not work you probably need to update your PRL.

Note: Does not work on CM12.

[Ouya General] OreBoySwaggin:
I got my ouya the day it launched. Set it up. Found out that it required a Credit Card, not happy. Blah blah i properly rooted it and installed superuser and busybox, nova and several apps. Worked fine. also set up wireless ADB. tried to set up CWM Recovery, both manual and one click. with adb over wifi and wired adb. noticed that adb would always revert to Wifi, causing it not to finish setup as ouya did not connect to wifi outside of being booted. did my best to get rid of wireless adb, taking it out of the build prop and pushing it back in, etc. Nothing worked. so i did a factory reset. added busy box and superuser. worked fine for a little. then su quit working and so i redid a factory reset, and now my Ouya wont go past the WiFi Setup, even after rebooting, making sure it was connected, still managed to connect through ADB -____- and if i click continue on the wifi setup, it says "controller connected, connect more later.. etc etc" and so i continue and it goes back to the wifi and does a loop! >:(

Any Ideas? Any way to do a full reset like flashing a tar.gz on odin with stock firmware? Please help im not happy with my ouya already. almost ready to return it.
[Ouya General] JLCollier2005:
As far as I know right now there is no way to do a full reset. Try plugging it into ethernet before turning it on and see if it goes through everything. It sounds like you're having wifi issues, which was happening prior to the last 2 updates, and it's having a hard time connecting.

Right now trying to install CWM is very much experimental and advanced, so the fact that something messed up after trying that is not OUYA's fault. Why did you install CWM anyway? There is very little reason to do so right now unless you' like to try all the new stuff while it's still in Alpha. Plenty of people working with CWM have bricked their OUYA.

You can contact ouyasupport and get it fixed through them, I'm pretty sure, but it involves sending it into them.

It kind of sounds like you may have broken the OUYA recovery and when you tried to do the factory reset it didn't actually work. I can't know for sure without messing with it myself, though, and I"m not an advanced user when it comes to CWM, so maybe someone else can help you better.
[Ouya General] gianptune:
Yes, there is a way to do a real reset and return it back to "like new" condition. The thing is, since Ouya doesnt have a way to enter recovery/bootloader mode in the event that the flashing goes wrong, there's a decent chance that you can make things worse by trying it. Having said that, here's how you can do it -

# go to bootloader

adb reboot bootloader

# launch cwm

fastboot boot clockworkmod.img

# use cwm's menu and select "install from sideload", then push a factory flashable zip with

adb sideload factory_ouya.zip

then wait 5 minutes, hope your power doesnt go out and make sure the dog doesnt trip over the cable. because 1 little mistake and its a brick.
[Ouya General] OreBoySwaggin:
ksd

Well when i do the factory reset it does go to recovery and goes through resetting, so i know that that works, i guess i will try Ethernet. i plan on installing CWM because i want to make my own ROM and Kernel as to the best of my ability, since there isn't really any options that work. if the Ethernet option doesn't work i might just return this and buy something else. I'm glad i haven't bought anything.
[Ouya General] OreBoySwaggin:
Ethernet?

Well there is through adb, but adb will not work for me as unless i can turn off the network adb it will be network- only mode. So even in bootloader mode adb trys though the network.... wait maybe ethernet will help? Stupid 5 minutes between posts... well i plugged in the ethernet but it still goes to the WELCOME -Controller Connected screen
[Ouya General] OreBoySwaggin:
Broken?

Well it appears that Ouya Launcher and Ouya OOBE are not working, i started getting FC errors, and adb is still only working through wifi, i managed to reboot into the bootloader, but i couldnt control the Ouya, so no CWM :( if best buy will let me return this, here i go because i dont like this very much.
[Ouya General] OreBoySwaggin:
Returned it

Biked to Best Buy to return it. Had 3 minutes left til they closed, but hey! i got my $100 back! i'll just see what money ill get at my garage sale on friday and probably ill buy a new phone since my current Tmo S2 is a pos! What phone should i get from tmo or should i wait? I know the S4 is the best. Preferably a phone with LTE

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 318sugarhill:
Ok. Got it working for myself. Was using the free FoxFI app before rooting but the data limits were a PIA.

So, there are some wierd quirks compared to my other phones, as this is my first Samsung, and I only use HTC before. Here are my settings.

Device Profile: Samsung Galaxy S4

Setup-Method: Native Framework Tether

MSS Clamping and Routing Fix checked

What happens is wifi tether opens the stock VZW tether app. It works. The name of your network....Access control.....password....all that must be setup in the stock app. When you turn off Wifi tether, and then try the stock mobile hotspot app, it will check for a subscriptions from verizon. As long as Wifi tether is running it wont check for subscription. This is unique in the phones I've ever used.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xAudacityx:
You might want to use my settings because my native wifi doesn't turn on and wifi tether still runs great
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Divine_Madcat:
Do you have to reboot your phone to get it to connect again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BusyPooping:
i use pdanet+ for my wifi tethering...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stuartv:
I downloaded PowerToggles from the Play Store and use the Hotspot toggle to turn the built-in Verizon Hotspot on and off.

No paying VZW for tethering required. Even without paying for tethering, you can still go into your Settings and configure the hotspot settings for encryption, password, etc..

No root required.

I generally tend to trust built-in functionality more than 3rd party apps. I used WiFi Tether on my Rezound for the year before I got my S4 and it worked pretty well. But, it did occasionally randomly turn itself off. So far, so good with the built-in hotspot.

Download "portable wifi hotspot free" from the market. Create a widget and use that to turn on and off your hotspot. Its skips the hotspot subscription.

This is working perfectly for me on rooted ME7, just hit the home button instead of any of the options on the Verizon screen. You might try that for your setup too.

I use Tethering Widget with no problems. I used to use it on my S3 without any issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ratbastrd:
I'd like to ask this question as well. Had the "Android-wifi-tether widget" installed previously on my S3 and was using with great success. Makes me a little nervous to be using the Verizon hotspot with a work around "tether widget" to avoid the subscription charge, (seems like a recipe for disaster). Have used "Android-wifi-tether" in the past with great success, would like to use it again, at least then technically I am not using a work around to a verizon app which is clearly a violation. Using a third party app seems a little more grey shall we say.

All that being said, this has been asked repeatedly, in various threads without a comprehensive answer. I would love to get an answer, as this is pretty critical for a broad group of users.

What is the difference between the two apps TrevE's "Android-wifi-tether" & the various "tether widgets" which utilize the native verizon tether app by overriding the subscription check?

Do either method provide better connectivity (stability, data rates, reception etc.)

One would appear to less of a violation of terms, but that might be meaningless.

If there is no difference why use "Android-wifi-tether" and the native verizon tether together (this appears to be the only way the "Android-wifi-tether" app works, effectively, by triggering the native verizon app and piggy backing off its connectivity)?

Would really appreciate one of the devs or someone who can speak empirically on this issue to provide some insight.

Thanks!

You're welcome! I couldn't believe it was that simple, either!

When I get the Verizon popup that I need to subscribe, I just click the Home key on my S4 and the popup disappears but my Hotspot continues to run just fine. Woohoo!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thetootall:
This worked as well for me. I wish there was a native method to bypass the subscription check (being an unlimited data user as well), but after spending a good portion of the last day digging, I'd rather have this than nothing. Thanks as well!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thesoldier:
To add the hotspot toggle:

Download app => Click Me

Got to => Settings storage

Click => settings.db

Click => system

Search for "notification"

Highlight => notification_panel_active_app_list

Click the edit "pencil"

In the "value" section add "WiFiHotspot;" anywhere you like...

Restart phone

Found that from another thread as I don't feel like typing out again. It enables the native hot spot toggle and works fine without any subscription check. If you don't want to buy sqlite editor, there are other apps out there for free.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thetootall:
I did in fact try that, and it does add the Wi-Fi Hotspot button. I can turn it on, no problem. However, when I connect my device it pops up the Subscription message and immedately turns off the feature.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stuartv:
Doesn't this require you to have root?

Using the PowerToggles widget (a free download from the Play store) does not require root. And, since I can't load a custom recovery or ROM, I haven't bothered to root, yet, myself. If I had to root to use my phone as a hotspot, I would. But, since I don't, I haven't. I figure I may as well ensure the integrity of my warranty for as long as possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thesoldier:
Oh yeah, it does require root. And that's weird how it does the check when you connect to it, I've used it plenty of times and I've never gotten that check.
