[General Questions and Answers] enigma9o7:
With stock jellybean, I'd mostly see 4G, sometimes 3G, and ocassionally something else like 1X or something like that H+ I can't remember.

I just upgraded from stock jellybean to lineage 14.1 and now having data problems. At first I thought my problem was just no 4G/LTE, so after searching, applied those settings, and although now I have seen LTE which I didn't see after first installing lineage, I'm not getting any data at all in many places that used to work fine, like the park I take my kids to regularly. So something is not right. And I don't remember what APN it was set to before I added this freedompop ehrd one, so I don't even know if setting it back will at least keep me connected even w/o LTE, which would be better than having occasional LTE but often no signal at all...

Are there other related settings? I've tried data roaming on and off, didn't seem to matter, which should it be?

I have preferred mode as Global, is there any reason to try another?

I want my data back! I use freedompop data as my only service (and google voice/hangouts for phone) so I want data working, to the point I'll switch back to stock jellybean if I have to, but I really really really don't want to, my phone is much faster/more responsive now, battery lasts longer, uses the sdcard automatically now so I don't have to worry about filling up my limited internal storage, etc... really like this, but if I don't have a signal half the places I go I can't keep using it!

I wrote freedompop support a few days ago but no response... any help would be appreciated.

Well I just read the whole thread and decided to try flashing Shdware.Freedompop_APNs_fix.2.8.16, especially after reading someone with my same device saying it worked for them. Of course they were on CM11, and I was hesitant to do that at first, because its over a year old I didn't know if it even applied to LineageOS 14.1, and don't know how to undo it if it made things worse.

Anyways I did it, and looked at my settings, it didn't change anything that I can see. Of course I'll have to test it in the real world to see if it changed anything. Can anyone explain what this zip actually does, is it any different than manually adding the info from settings? And confirm this is the latest "version" of the apn fix?

If I decide to undo it, is the only way to wipe /system and reinstall lineage/gapps?

One last question. I found a thread on freedompop forums https://forums.freedompop.com/us/discussion/6242/installed-third-party-rom-and-lost-my-service that actually references this thread coincidentally enough, that implies you have to install a freedompop app for everything to work right. Does anyone know anything about this? I've never used my freedompop # for anything, I think I did install one of their apps at one point when I was stock jellybean but then removed it shortly thereafter as I had no use for it.

The other weird thing is under SIM Status, My phone number is not a number I recognize. It's a local area code tho. Dunno if this is related.
