data offline and no mms

My rooted Verizon GS5 with TF sim card is randomly losing data service (group mms is now working with textra). ST customer service provided an APN but the issue with data offline is recurring. I used BuildProp and APNchangeR apps to update APN settings (leave all other fields blank) steps:

1. Installed BuildProp, Edit code at bottom to add:

#Code:

ril.sales_code=LOL

ro.csc.sales_code=LOL

2. Save changes and Restart Phone

3. Open APNchangeR (Note: APN will disappear after saving but is there)

Name: TRACFONE.VZWENTP

APN: tfdata

4. Open BuildProp, edit to remove code, save, and restart.

From this post, it appears the settings provided by ST might be wrong and should be:

Name: TRACFONE.VZWENTP

APN: Info

MMSC: acct.tf.gw6.vzwentp

MCC: 311

MNC: 480

APN Type: default,dun,supl

APN Protocol: 4 & 6 (local and roaming)

*After updating settings to above, is anyone still getting data offline or mms issues?:confused:

Missing a few things for the apns. I know with newer phones you don't even need to add the apn manually where as the sim card is automatically recognized. I can screenshot what is missing but I know if varies by device. My Nexus 5 was recognized by default as well as the N6 but the S3 needed to be input manually. My co worker has an S5 and it also needed to be input manually

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Those are the APNs I've used on ST S3 for 2 years, no issues at all. What is missing? They are also the APNs I got from Tracfone/Straight Talk.

The N5 I got my wife and put on ST didn't need APNs set either, it did that by default from SIM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
At least on my N6 this is what is under apn type,

default,mms,supl,hipri,fota

That's one thing I noticed off hand. And yea I've been with straight talk for 2 years myself

I just wanted to mention the following (by all means, not to contradict nor insult anyone).

Straight Talk, Net10 Wireless, Safelink Wireless, etc... are all owned by the TracFone Wireless Inc...

I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 and am using Net10 Wireless. I have Net10's SIM and it's been working fine.

Now from what I have read about how Straight Talk works, it also use a SIM in the same manner as Net10 does. Now the GS3 is supposed to grab the APN's automatically based on the SIM and an OTA supposed to update the device after their system registers the device as an active one. If any service issues arise, you contacting them via phone or chat, and they are supposed to send a system reset to grab the device again and program the device OTA with any updates.

These are just my thoughts.

Happy Holidays!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
The thing is, the actual Straight Talk S3(SCH-S968C) as it pertains to any discussions of it on XDA in any ROM thread concerning SIM is quite different than what pertains to the Verizon S3(SCH-I535) on Straight Talk and its discussion of using a SIM. It is different because the thing is that the SCH-S968C natively doesn't require a SIM to be active on the Straight Talk network while on stock because it is a 3G device. But when these (d2vzw)Verizon SCH-I535) ROMs are flashed on the (d2tfnvzw)SCH-S968C it makes the device require a SIM when it "normally" shouldn't. That means we are having to manually program the device to connect to mobile network in a manner that the actual device isn't "supposed" to require to connect to its native network. The Verizon S3 requires a SIM on its original network because it is a LTE device and the SIM is used to regulate the LTE data connection, this doesn't exist on the ST S3 and it cannot use a LTE connection where the Verizon S3 on ST can use LTE and is setting the device up in a manner that it was originally designed to. The conditions, how to and reasons for using SIM are different between the d2vzw and the d2tfnvzw. Under normal conditions, a ST S3 owner should never be making a call to service and support for any kind of SIM or APN connectivity because the device isn't supposed to need it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ibuprophen:
Not a problem.

This was posted under the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 so I was under the impression that that was the device.

All is well...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
All good.

Just clarifying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] virginwidow:
Now I am curious -- I mean, conFUSE

Ok,

Now I am confuse, I mean curious. For a minute, pageplus was selling S3's for only $39 so I got 2 of them. I've not gotten my son's activated yet, as it's 'virgin' I figure that would be the one to pull a backup from...

So, sadly the fone's are no longer available, and I fear I'm at fault... For when I activated mine, it took their poor 'tech support tele-prompter reader' over an hour to activate it, cause I asked to be sure we got the data working -- the phones were shipped no sim included or anyplace in the box. Since my Note 2 (stolen, dammit) required a SIM... only stands to reason.

The poor tech kept insisting a SIM wasn't required (because that's what's in the script) and I bet they had me *22890 reboot, try the 'mobile data' again three times before I was put on hold about 5 minutes before the tech came back and said mobile data doesn't work on this phone! And then wouldn't send me the darn 0.99 cent SIM to at least SEE if it worked...

So, knowing the tech had to be wrong, I guessed any SIM would work, the only one I could find I pulled outa an ancient trac fone, snipped off the excess, popped it into the slot, now the 'mobile data' works - the SIGNAL SUCKS - but data now works

This leads me to ... AHA! I see up there in the part where I <snipped> there is indeed a difference between ***vzw and *****vzw, so I'm grateful I haven't just dove in and started messing with mine.... This phone boots with the ugly Tracfone logo, has all the dumbass tracfone apps pre-installed, and perhaps on the hideously expensive Tracfone network it may NOT need a SIM, but it most certainly does on pageplus ... Even though they have become part of the Tracfone-Borg...

Anyways, you can elaborate here if you want -- because I sensed there is probably some subtle but critical difference in the "actual tracfone variant" v. ST type S3, I started a new thread in the "Help & Troubleshooting" Forum... whatever works. Thanks in advance

VW

PS the $39 fones were avail 5 days ago when I activated mine. They might re-appear when SIM are stuck in them who knows
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
All of the Tracfone variant that have S3 with the model number SCH-S968C are all the same, the only difference between all of them is that some came stock with the UH2 baseband and some came stock with MH2 baseband, some are 1GB RAM and some are 2GB RAM, other than that, no difference.

The reason why the SCH-S968C requires a SIM in what I've discussed here at XDA and other sites is only when/if a ROM that was built for the Verizon S3 is used because the Verizon S3 is a 4G device which requires SIM to regulate the 4G data, this makes any device that flashes these Verizon ROMs require a SIM. That is the one and only reason and the absolute simplest explanation.

The SCH-S968C(d2tfnvzw) S3 can use all of the SCH-I535(d2vzw) custom recoveries and custom ROMs because it is actually a SCH-I535 S3 rebranded for Tracfone, the Tracfone S3 actually has SCH-I535 stamped on the motherboard, it's the exact same device with 4G disabled in the hardware making the device 3G capable but not 4G.

A SIM should never be required on stock, unless switching networks as you have done.

The confusion is that most think that since the device can be activated without SIM then the mobile data should not require a SIM, but as we've seen, data won't work without SIM with anything other than the Tracfone network on stock.

The odd thing is that even some devices on stock on Tracfone network have corrected MMS issues by inserting a SIM even though it "shouldn't" be needed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] virginwidow:
Well, actually they (Tracfone) switched networks, and didn't inform pageplus in the course of the buyout or since.

I read someplace (howardforums maybe? I dont participate there but have goog-lurked there plenty) that TFn itself was unique of all the MVNO's in that they're leasing from both CDMA and GSM towers, and their phones were also capable of using both bands.

This now invokes curiosity whether their stock ROM (with the Tracfone SIM ~~ even the feature fones all ship with a SIM, that was my other clue as to why the SIM would be needed) shouldn't be accessing GSM towers as well. I'm thinking it cannot, based on the motherboard difference between CDMA/GSM Galaxy S3's.

Also pageplus was originally Verizon's 'secret' mVNO before the buyout.

Even on a pageplus branded SIM, My verizon branded Galaxy note 2 "mysteriously" lost mobile data sometime late in 2016 ... I just didn't bother with it since I've got this OCD thing goin on with security so seldom ever use a phone for anything but calling and txt.

Based on your experience, which hardware (+carrier?) currently is capable of best "voice radio" continental coverage for N. America? OTHER than Tracfone, which still offers no unlimitted talk plan... the cost is prohibitive... I only have an ancient now invalid Ham license, and it's impossible for me to sort out the signal potential of the frequencys

Thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
That I know of, there were two different models of S3 on Tfn, formerly, there was the 960L that was actually a rebranded AT&T(GSM) device and now the S968C which is a rebranded Verizon(CDMA) device. I do remember reading a couple of years ago that the S968C is GSM capable but I can't confirm as I've never encountered a user that has the device on a GSM network. The S968C shipped unlocked so in theory it should be GSM capable because the Verizon I535 when unlocked can be used in GSM mode, since the S968C has the same I535 motherboard and other hardware.

I don't have an answer for the best voice radio, I haven't experimented with other carriers. I've been with Straight Talk since I got my first smartphone and have been satisfied with the service for the price. 4G unlimited service with Verizon coverage for half the price, i.e Unlimited everything with 5GB of high speed data for $45 or unlimited with 10GB of high speed data for $55. About the only thing better would be an actual plan for those that want truly unlimited data and don't care about the price, there are few if any other better options with a prepaid network than that.

I was a Page Plus customer back when I had a flip-phone but I hated their service and limited data. I've also looked into trying Ting with an old Sprint S2 that I have but, again, I didn't find Ting satisfactory. Sure, some money could be saved by using Pageplus or Ting but....you get what you pay for.....which is crap for either one of them, the money I would save wouldn't be worth what I'd be giving up, it's a wonder they still have customers in the smartphone age in my opinion.

I have an XL running Omnirom 4.4.4-20150521-FINAL. Original Omnirom Lockscreen

The problem I have is if I boot my phone and not use it before screen goes off. It hangs / freezes. It doesn't happen if I'm using the phone right away to open some app like calls or checking email or whatsapp. Sometimes I can get it to open but that time the lock screen redraws from top to bottom (like you're downloading a large image in browser). Once redraw finishes I can use it for long. (I have done days without rebooting).

This is the sequence

Phone Off

Press Power button to start

It boots up but I am not using it immediately

screen goes off

press Power button again

no response

I had the same experience with other AOSP derivatives like CM & mokee. But those where also nightlies and phone was not being used by me at the time. Omni is very stable for me.

It doesn't happen on Sony's stock firmware (15.3.A.1.17 or 15.3.A.1.14 I had used earlier)

EXCUSE MY BAD ENGLISH :)

Hi everyone,

So I was wondering if I would downgrade my lg g flex 2 (2gb ram 16gbrom) version back to android 5.0.

I'm using 5.1 since the release of the update and I love it but since i can't unlock the bootloader and flash root on it its kinda hard to stay on 5.1.

So a few questions if i whould downgrade is there a way to keep the performence of my 5.1 update? like remove lagg make battery life litle better?
[LG G Flex 2] gomhtog:
There are tips and tricks in here for improving performance on 5.0, if you downgrade and root. I followed the tips and my phone seems to be running smooth, most of the time. My Antutu score is about 2000 points lower than before I downgraded, except my performance stays around the same score instead of decreasing.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] level5music:
I've searched XDA, I've searched Reddit, I've searched countless forums with ZERO success. I've tried Lenovo Super Cam, I've tried installing the LG Cam, I've tried flashing in the HTC cam. Nothing fixes the smeary, awful framerate and as a result I've taken exactly zero good photo or video on this phone in CM12. Is there any hope for CM or AOSP ROMs? I'll sell this phone before I end up putting an LG-Stock ROM on this thing.

I'm looking for stable framerate in photo preview and video preview, regardless of light on CM12. Does this holiest of G2nicorns actually exist?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Choristav:
CM12 is pretty old. I personally don't have that much issue with the camera anyway. It's a driver issue, which could explain the framerate, but the quality is pretty similar. Could you maybe take a couple of pictures and show us what the difference is?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] level5music:
Not sure how a photo would illustrate a low frame rate but this video shows the sneariness and frame drops. This isn't my video but the performance is similar or worse. It's the same for the photo viewfinder and that makes it impossible to take a photo or video in anything but glaring sunlight.

https://youtu.be/r3ZDplkl984
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Choristav:
That's how it works though, the aperture remains open longer to capture more light, which causes less frames per second. Try recording the same thing on a stock rom and let us know how it goes. But then if it's a driver thing you can't do anything about it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] level5music:
All I needed to know. That LG Stock ROM is a flaming trainwreck, and if there's no fix for AOSP or CM I literally am better off getting a new phone.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Choristav:
Well the video you linked IS a stock rom. There's no fix because it's not an issue, it's a camera characteristic. It's like saying a monitor doesn't display 120hz being a 60hz monitor. It doesn't, and if it did, it'd have some drawbacks. If you want steady framerate lower the iso.

It's still a phone camera, and a pretty good one at it. I'm not sure how people sometimes forget that. If you find a smartphone that matches a DSLR in the camera department and is around 200$ let me know.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] level5music:
The stock ROMs used to have the issue as shown in the video above, but they don't anymore. I don't know where but when I bought the phone and used 4.2 the camera was busted, and when I upgraded to 4.4 stock it was super smooth. And that's what I'm looking for, but only on AOSP or CM. No frame drops and a smooth, consistent 30fps or 60fps just like the stock ROM currently does. The stock ROM is an awful way to use this phone. I bought this phone when it was one of the cheap $180 unlocked devices posted on Phandroid with the strict intention of not using LG's C- effort. If it can't be done, it can't be done. No big deal.

There's a million threads from 2013 and 2014 that list "Oh use this, use that! Try Lenovo's camera! Flash so and so's fix even though the files are literally nowhere on the internet!" and literally nothing solves this issue in the slightest. I figured in 2015, maybe someone would know of a definite fix.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mashed_Potatoes:
All 5.0 AOSP roms have a crap camera, including 4.4 AOSP.

Flash any 5.1 AOSP ROM for the G2 like BlissPop or Euphoria, it looks like Google got their **** together in 5.1. The camera IS better than CM12, but still not as good as LG rom.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilanStojkovic:
Lol, this doesn't look like g2 at all. At least not compared to mine. The main reason I am not running aosp is the camera. Running aosp g2 turns into bad nexus 5 pretty much (imo). Not just the camera, there are tons of bugs there. If you want good camera - go with stock, as simple as that. LG camera drivers and ois makes videos very smooth. Grab a Rom with advanced camera drivers and install xcam. Fhd 60fps at night as good as in daylight. I will send you a video of mine if you want so you can see what I am talking about.

But yeah, aosp = ****ty camera, and there's nothing to do about it. Sorry

So I took the 5.1 OTA from 4.4.4 on Retail GB.

Had issues so then decided to flash the FXZ retail gb 5.1 rom.

Used mfastboot for everything on mac but on the device I got "sp space is not enough" red line in the boot loader, however mfastboot on the mac in the terminal gave no errors. just the lines for downloading writing.

I continued with the flash process flashing everything and erasing everything.

Rebooted and it booted to the setup screen after an expected longer first boot. I then redid the process even rebooting the bootloader after flashing it and then flashing it again. Got same s"p..." red line on the device. But continued and it booted to the setup screen.

So what do i do?

I don't know what's happening. I've tried erasing data and sd card, wiping system, and nothing...I keep getting this message.
