[General Questions and Answers] Jyclop:
I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner. I've been really busy.

That sounds like an extremely frustrating problem.

If you don't have very much on your phone, I would totally recommend downloading my whole zip file for getting it all up and running. That is kind of a lot of work though.

Personally, what I would do is flash the "Freedompop_APNs_fix_2015.zip" again, and then try to make the APNs show up.

This is what I read on getting the APN settings to show up: http://www.reddit.com/r/cyanogenmod/comments/2v8tb8/how_do_i_fix_the_access_point_names_are_not/

I hope this is helpful! :)

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------

Okay, so what you want to do is this:

1. Go to your APN settings. You should see "FreedomPop EHRPD" and "FreedomPop LTE".

2. Tap the "FreedomPop EHRPD".

3. Tap the three vertical dots in the top-right corner.

4. Press "Delete".

5. Tap the "FreedomPop LTE".

6. Tap the "Name" and put in "FreedomPop EHRPD".

7. Scroll down to "Bearer" and select "Unspecified"

8. Tap the three vertical dots in the top-right corner.

9. Press Save (YOU MUST SAVE IT!!!)

10. Press the little indicator on the left side of the "FreedomPop EHRPD". (This selects it as the APN)

I hope these instructions are actually right because these instructions were from memory because my SIII is broken at the moment.

Hope this helps! :)
[General Questions and Answers] PitCritter:
Thanks Jyclop.

Out of the blue, after a couple of reboots, I WAS able to access the APN settings. This was before I saw your reply, so I did things a little differently.

I clicked the button beside EHRP and changed the "Bearer" on that APN to "unspecified".

I left the "freedompop LTE" APN alone.

After a reboot, I immediately had a VERY SLOW 1x connection.

I'll be back in LTE coverage tomorrow. I have high hopes that I'll have service.

I'll post back to this thread tomorrow night.

If I have no luck, my first step will be to delete my current APN and make your recommended changes to the LTE APN.

As a side note, both the LTE and EHRP APNs look identical at a quick glance, but I haven't actually checked all the settings.

Thanks again...I'm pretty hopeful of this one.
[General Questions and Answers] PitCritter:
Success...sort of.

Once I got back into a 4G covered area, the "LTE" symbol lit up on my phone. I am now able to get 1x, 3G and LTE connections according to my phone. So, in answer to my own question, you do NOT need to wait for initial activation. In fact without the edit to the APN, I wonder if it would ever activate.

Unfortunately, my speed test numbers are far less than stellar and make me wonder if what I'm getting that claims to be LTE is really something else.

My 1x numbers speeds were so slow that the test timed out. With 3G selected and displayed, my D/L came in at 0.15 Mbps, the upload was 0.31 Mbps. On LTE, I got 0.05 down and 0.32 up.

Something looks a little screwy.

I'm hoping that I'm connecting to a bad cell site, but I'm not convinced.

BTW, the two APNs that are on my phone (FreedomPop EHRPD and FreedomPop LTE) are identical except for the title and "bearer" setting.

As I said in a previous post, I'm using the EHRPD APN with the "Bearer" changed to "unspecified". The Bearer on the LTE APN is listed as LTE.

It'll be some time before I can get out of town to another LTE area to test again.
[General Questions and Answers] Jyclop:
Okay, so basically it still has a few problems, but it's basically working now!

That's good. Also, I've noticed that some places have different connection speeds. For example, 3G in Denver CO is actually pretty decently fast. But in the mountains, it may say I have 5 bars of 3G, but it's an unusable connection.

It could just be that the LTE was slow where you were.

Glad it started working!!! ;)
[General Questions and Answers] esonder_:
don't delete or rename the apn's

Ok, so I haven't been here in awhile. But reading the comments I noticed that many of you are DELETING /RENAMING the 'freedompop LTE' to 'freedompop EHRPD' [THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT, I MEANT FOR YOU TO CHECK THE 'freedompop EHRPD']

No deleting or renaming required.

Sorry if my instructions weren't clear enough, my fault.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=

AGAIN,

To Get 3g and 4gLTE:

1. go to mobile networks

2. under the access point names MAKE SURE 'freedompop EHRPD' IS

CHECKED

, THEN

3. click on the 'freedompop EHRPD' and scroll down to 'bearer' and change it from LTE to Unspecified, AND SAVE

4. Now go back to 'preferred network type' from here you can switch form LTE to 3g [when 3g is desired, ie no LTE service in the area) (if still no 3g, try rebooting and doing the steps again)

5.

Once you click 3g, if you go into 'access point names' it will state 'access point names setting are not available to this user' --- to get access to the apn's once again, just go back to 'preferred network type' and change it back to LTE from 3g. Now you can see the apn's once again.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I'm using the S3 on AICP with LTE AND 3g working fine. Again, to get 3g follow the steps above, once done, the phone should switch from LTE to 3g when LTE signal is weak/not available, if it doesn't change automatically from LTE to 3g when you're an area where the LTE signal is weak you can do so manually. Go to 'preferred network type' and check 3g.

Hope this helps.
[General Questions and Answers] PitCritter:
As a follow up to my earlier post...

I can verify that Esonder's method DOES WORK

I was getting terrible speed numbers, but I must have been on a problem cell site.

I tested again and my numbers were as follows"

LTE 4.73 Down, 4.32 Up

3G 1.10 Down 0.82 Up

Theat's proof enough for me.

The only issueyou might have is getting the APNs to actually show up.

It seems that a mix of patience, persistence and luck is the only solution. Keep re-booting. You'll get there eventually.

Once you do, follow the directions in the above post and you'll be up and running.
[General Questions and Answers] mckayc:
Thanks RedRover88! I had to do a bit of troubleshooting but eventually I was able to use what you wrote to get my phone working.

I have a Nexus 5 with a Cyanogenmod Nightly (12.1) ROM (Android 5.1.1). Nothing else I had tried in the forums worked. When I tried your suggestion, it worked but only for about 30 seconds, then the connection no longer worked.

I found that the problem was that it was switching to another APN. If anyone reading this has the same problem as me, you may want to consider deleting the other APNs listed (to do so, select the APN then press the ... options in the top right corner and select "Delete").

If you do not see any APNs listed, you will need to restart your phone (make sure that WiFi is on and connected when you do). After you restart your phone you should see all the APNs included the one you just created (don't delete that one ;) )
[General Questions and Answers] bmccoy11:
On my Nexus 5 running Cataclysm 5.1.1, I'm unable to get 3G or 1X working, while LTE works fine. I can't get to the APN settings, and if I boot the phone into airplane mode, the entire 'Cellular Networks' section is greyed out from the settings. I've tried both the original fix from page 1 and the 2015 fix on page 2. Any help?
[General Questions and Answers] tamkwjoe:
Hey guys ,

I have a FreedomPop S4. Flashed Aicp ROM. And fixed Apns myself... The Same APN gets LTE, 3g, and 1x. All I did was change the settings up of a default APN Aicp came with... I changed the Sprint LTE Apn. But what I found was the name doesn't matter... Bearer MUST be unspecified...

APN is: n.f6.ispsn

MMSC: MMS.sprintpcs.com

MMS Proxy: 68.28.31.7

MMS port: 80

MCC:310

MNC: 120

APN Type:default,mms,supl

APN Protocol & APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4/ IPV6

Bearer: Unspecified.

Note: This is my first post.

Hope it helps

[General Questions and Answers] bmccoy11:
I grabbed the APNs from the FreedomPop ROM on the Nexus 5, and now 3G and 1X is working flawlessly. Flashable ZIP attached.
[General Questions and Answers] PitCritter:
It helps!!

I just reflashed AICP since I wanted to get a fresh start. I simply flashed the latest AICP nightly and Open Gapps. I DID NOT flash any of the APN fix zips.

I opened up the APN settings (first time, they were there, no messing around). there were probably 20 APNs listed there.

I deleted all except the two FreedomPop entries.

I selected FreedomPop EHRPD and made a couple of edits as per JT's post above. IIRC, I only had to change the APN type to "default,mms,supl,hipri", the two protocols to "IPv4/ IPV6" and the Bearer to "unspecified".

As soon as I saved, "LTE" popped up in the status bar.

I'll be doing some speed testing, but so far, it seems perfect.
[General Questions and Answers] tamkwjoe:
For me, my 3g and 1x works too. I hope it works for you too...
[General Questions and Answers] shdware:
This was great for me. The earlier fixes would allow me access to LTE only, which meant I could see several bars with an exclamation mark on my service, but could not access any form of data.

It worked great. I'm loving this with AICP.
[General Questions and Answers] noobtard:
Hey all,

So, I'm guessing it may have been a mistake to activate Freedompop with a custom rom(pac rom) already installed.

I've tried pretty much everything in this thread, and can only connect to LTE. (usually for less than a minute) No luck with 3g or less at all on a galaxy s3.

Think updating the PRL from stock rom would fix this? (I find it strange that it even connects to 4g really, if that's the issue)

*Edit: Yeah, flashing back to stock and updating both Profile and PRL then flashing back to custom fixed my issues.(doh?)*

Freedompop (Sprint) SPH-L720 (Samsung Galaxy S4) DATA working

My issue is resolved! I dialed *#*#4636#*#* and the TESTING screen came up immediately. Under "Set preferred network type:", I switched it to: LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) in the dropdown menu. I then turned off my WIFI, and LTE immediately showed up! I tested going to a webpage and it works!! I cannot thank you (shakim24 and XDA) enough!!! Turning the WIFI back on is a little tricky and requires some patience, but it will come back on. :good: :victory: :highfive:[/QUOTE]

Pages 3 & 7 are your friends.

This also worked on a Galaxy S3 using both [MENTION=1484745]Esonder[/MENTION]'s method and JT's method above with a fresh, wiped, install of AICP and Gapps testing each. (( [MENTION=1484745]Esonder[/MENTION]'s test included the FreedomPop APN 2015 fix.zip, JT's test did not ))

Thank you both.
[General Questions and Answers] RedRover88:
FreedomPop 4G SOLUTION

Hello all.

This post will aid all Freedompop subscribers on this Exodus Jfltespr ROM or possibly other CM based ROMs who are having difficulties staying connected or connecting to 4G/3G/LTE Internet.

There are a few floating suggestions out there, but this is my current and best suggestion after mucking around.

For some reason, just adding a FP APN and setting the preferences to global seems insufficient. The delay between WiFi and cellular internet is great or never successfully connects. It seems that this is because the ROM greatly favors the "Sprint LTE Internet" APN, even with global settings. If this is your problem, try the below.

Do not create a new FP APN. Do not try changing existing FP APN types to default. Instead directly modify the favored APN settings of the "Sprint LTE internet" APN.

Name: Sprint LTE Internet <--- Do not change to FreedomPop

APN: n.f6.ispsn <-- must change

MCC: 310 <--- confirm same

MNC: 120 <--- confirm same

APN type: default,(etc) <---do not change

APN protocol: IPv4 <--- changed

APN roaming protocol: IPv4 <---changed

For whatever reason, this was a game changer for me. We ae talking about a handoff that went from 30-60s to milliseconds! Coverage from spotty at best to flawless. There is also an agressive wifi to cellular handoff toggle in the developer settings you can consider activating. I did not need it.

Enjoy

[General Questions and Answers] muttleytm:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 SPH-L710 with Freedompop/Sprint. I've flashed AICP 5.1.1 with the 2016 Freedonpop Fix discussed earlier.

It worked great for several weeks, but, the mobile network stopped working.

At first I thought I had run out of time/data, but, my account started a new cycle and I have time/data.

I thought I would try to revert back to a rooted stock ROM to update the PRL, PRN and then reflash AICP. I couldn't restore using and old backup so then I noticed there was a daily build of AICP 6 and tried that a couple times, but, ran into problems with gapps installation crashing the system. I tried this several times without success and always was able to reflash AICP 5.1.1. I then tried reflashing to a rooted stock ROM (ND8_STOCK_ODEX_ROOTED .zip). It said if flashed successfully, but, when I went to boot it up, after a couple minutes the screen was black on the blue light on the upper left flashed for over ten minutes, but, it never booted up.

I'm back to 5.1.1. I thought I'd see if there was anything I could do from the command line or adb.

From adb I ran:

1|shell@d2spr:/ $ content query --uri content://telephony/carriers

Error while accessing provider:telephony

java.lang.SecurityException: No permission to write APN settings

I found that the list of carriers was at /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony.databses/telephony.db

Using aSQLiteManager I was able to open the db table which I've attached. It looks like everything is there.

In reading this thread I see that I have to set the the preferred network type to Global and select Access Point Name FreedomPop EHRPD and then change and save a setting. I've tried this numerous times but only once did I ever get a list of Access Point names. The one time I did I selected the EHRPD, but, didn't make the other change or save. Since then I've never been able to see this again. I saw the posts about rebooting with only the wifi enabled and/or only the wifi enabled and in airplane mode. I tried both, but, always got the Access Point names not available for this user message.

Anyone?

I also notice that I get a message saying clock has stopped. I don't know if this has anything to do with it. I have two apps listed with this name. One is an alarm clock.
[General Questions and Answers] mj56gt:
Thanks for offering the fix!

The fix from the OP worked for the APN issue on my LG G2. I notice that it is EMPTY under "Access point names": is this normal?

In addition, it seems that the fix in OP introduces the following error when booting up:

Does the above error have anything to do with the following stuff:

Do you think that yours would fix this error? What improvements in your fix method?
[General Questions and Answers] shdware:
No, it won't correct the issue you have now; it will only add improved APN support.

(Incidentally, my APN fix hasn't created any issues like this).

Try dirty flashing the same rom you're using over it, and it should probably resolve. You may need to reflash the APN fix as it is not always persistent.
[General Questions and Answers] mj56gt:
Thanks for the quick response!

By dirty flashing do you mean flashing the ROM without wiping, right?

Also, with the fix from the OP, the FreedomPop network works fine, but I notice that it is EMPTY under "Access point names": is this normal?

Your fix is better in what sense? Thanks again for your kind help!
[General Questions and Answers] shdware:
Yes.

CM-based roms for whatever reason do not yet give you access to this information, either for viewing or for modification.

/system/etc/apns-conf.xml are the phone settings for APN.

It adds additional APN and server information that isn't present in the OP fix, which adds LTE but for me had poor 3G connectivity and no 1x.

In addition to adding the extra APN (n.f6.sprint), there following manual settings are present:

APN: n.f6.ispsn

MMSC: http://mms.sprintpcs.com

MMS proxy: 68.28.31.7

MMS port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 120

APN type: default,mms,supl,hipri

APN Protocol & APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4/ IPV6

Bearer: Unspecified

APN type, Bearer, and APN is important.

We've got the same phone.

I recommend trying AICP or Resurrection Remix, both running Marshmallow. I've had improved battery life and performance, plus an up to date UI. TWRP 3.0.0.2 is also available.
[General Questions and Answers] mj56gt:
The reason I decided to flash ZVGMOD was that the ROM allows sim-unlocked so that I could use both FreedomPop and GSM carriers. Would AICP or Resurrection Remix keep sim unlocked?

TWRP 3.0.0.2 is a BUMP version, right?
[General Questions and Answers] shdware:
Yeah, it's a BUMP version. I had some initial difficulties flashing bootloaders and lost LTE - I think from using the Jellybean modem. I later flashed the lollipop one but still haven't been able to recover it (or I have it and it reports as 3G).

And no clue about whether or not it keeps the sim unlocked, but you can check that in their respective forums.
[General Questions and Answers] mj56gt:
So I just dirty flashed ZVGMOD, and then installed your APN fix. It's still empty under "Access point names". In addition, I continue to get the error:

This thread (http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/fix-unfortunately-update-device-stopped-t2955497) seems to offer a fix for Update Device, but it also changes the APN setting, which is why I have not tried it out yet since I don't want to mess up my current APN again. Any way to modify that fix so it would only fix the update device part but won't change the APN setting?
[General Questions and Answers] shdware:
From what it looks like, you can flash the fix then my APN fix immediately afterwards. If you're concerned you can back out up first in TWRP, but honestly I wouldn't bother.
[General Questions and Answers] mj56gt:
Thanks! I just did what you suggested, but for some reason the fix didn't work for the Update Device error.

An unrelated issue. I keep getting a message that my SuperSU binary needs to be updated. However, after I went through the update through TWRP, I still have the same message after booting up.
[General Questions and Answers] shdware:
Which message are you seeing at bootup: the SuperSU update or the error message you described?

Have you downloaded the latest SuperSU flashable zip and flashed it with TWRP? That will resolve the former. As far as the latter goes, you could generate a logcat and ask the ROM developer.

I have a S3 with Freedompop with AICP 5 and was having problems with the FP wireless service and then when I tried upgrading to AICP ran into problems with play services and other things so I reverted back and continued with the phone the way it was and got busy with other things.

I did notice that Freedmpop and a diagnostic app which I installed. It detected that the prl, prns needed be upgraded and provided a code to enter into the phone keypad. I did this and didn't notice anything had happened. I eventually realized that I was sent a text message (I never use SMS) with another code to enter somewhere else. I entered the code and didn't notice that my wireless service worked again. Then a week or two later I noticed that there were some app updates available so I updated them. One of the apps was the FP Messaging app. I didn't notice it right away but some time after this I noticed that there was a wireless network available and that it was an LTE network (I'd pretty much always see a 3G or 4G network with an !) and there wasn't an exclamation point. I tried it an it worked.

A little after that I saw this post. Thanks. I think for the time being anyway I'll just stick with what is working though.
[General Questions and Answers] shdware:
The current version of AICP for Sprint GS3 is AICP11 (Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow). This improves pretty much everything over AICP10 (Android 5.1 Lollipop).

Check their forum for more information. Of course you'll do what feels best for you, but I feel that AICP is the best ROM for the Galaxy S3 offered by FreedomPop for user interface, functionality, speed, battery life and performance.
[General Questions and Answers] muttleytm:
I'm still using AICP. I just meant while it is working again I'll not mess with the APN fix or upgrade the Marshmallow AICP.
[General Questions and Answers] sparklekid:
Hi. I had just installed the March 29 nightly of AICP on my LG G2 LS980 coming from a CM13 build. Unfortunately, the CM13 build + the APN fix gave me only spotty 3g and no LTE, whereas the AICP nightly out of the box with no other installations outside of opengapps nano gave me no data. I tested to see there was some sort of connection or attempt thereof by typing in *#*#4636#*#*. And the testing -> phone info reveals that my "Network Type" is at "eHRPD" whereas my non-rooted Freedompop phones show the Network Type as "LTE", even though the set preferred network type shows "LTE/GSM/CDMA auto(PRL)".

Unfortunately, in the process of installing the AICP nightly, I accidentally wiped the data, which included my stock lollipop TWRP/nand backup and flashable efs partition backup (which doesn't seem necessarily per this thread). I currently have the BUMP TWRP installed (blastagator) and the bootstack for the LS980.

At any rate, it's encouraging to see that LTE works with AICP on an LG G2 with no need of an APN fix or any other tweaks. One thing I noticed about the AICP build is that I can actually view APN profiles presumably "running" on my LG G2, whereas, I can only view the APNs looking at the apns-conf.xml file in /data/etc, meaning that the error lies in my configuration. If I can get some guidance on getting my now effectively bricked G2, I'd much appreciate it!
