[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Alvinu:
I recently got this phone and things are working fine except I can't add my carriers APN to the phone for mobile data. The only option is greyed out and there is no button to add another. I'm not quite sure what to do.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] antintin:
With your sim in, dial ##3282# then go to apn settings , 3 buttons at the top right, and reset to default. Try a few times in areas with better connection if it doesn't work. It should work the first time though
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Alvinu:
I've done this but it does not seem to work. I'm using a local carrier from a not very large country so I don't think they have any auto APN settings on their network. When looking it up on their website the only option is to add the APN settings manually which looks to be impossible sadly.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] antintin:
Your only option is to contact Sprint and ask them for a service code. That is the code you need when you click edit on different settings in that menu. Another user had this problem and ended up returning the phone
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] kaz61:
Same thing for me too. Can anyone please come up with a solution for this. Had the same issue with the leaked firmware too and had to downgrade to Pie to get data back.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Alvinu:
I might just end up returning it. I was wondering if root is ever achieved on this phone would there be a way to then freely access the settings?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] fongher10:
Bought 5 of these unlocked LG G8 phones for families in Laos and the update basically broke them. Now I can't get help from LG or Sprint. WTF...never again with both of these two companies. What a waste of my time and money, Grrrr.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] fwz247:
I have the same problem. Can't edit the APN in Setting to get it to work. But when I go to ##data# and go to APN Setting and try to edit it demands my Service Code which I randomly entered 000000 and it opened for edit !! But most things are un-editable so that did not work for me. I.e I can edit user name, password, authentication, APN NI and PDN Type but I can't edit the APN to change it to my carriers "#777". Any ideas?

P.S. My device is actually sprint locked, but I'm using an unlocking electronic chip to make it work on my carrier
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Alvinu:
Update

This was brought up on the Sprint forum and a representative states, "We are only responsible for unlocking the device, not getting the APNs to unlock. You can contact the carrier you are trying to activate the device on or contact LG" as shown here. There was another post on the LG forum where an LG representative says to contact Sprint or the other carrier because the problem can only be resolved by the carrier here.

So currently Sprint and LG are passing the blame onto each other. This is sad to hear because this is the only disappointment I have in my purchase so far. Maybe if more of us comment on the issue to both companies we can find out which one is really at fault and get them to issue a fix?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Spartan F8:
I have the unlocked Sprint variant of this phone on ATT and my APN settings are also locked. My APN settings got messed up after this last update and once during a factory default. I fixed the APN settings for ATT doing the below steps.

Do the ##data# code

Then go to APN

Then on the top right corner of the screen hit the three little dots

Then hit reset to defaults

Next restart the phone

After that mobile data and mms started working. Hope this helps.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] antintin:
Well we already had this but some people don't get auto populated apns
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] fwz247:
Update..

I tried deleting all APNs from ##DATA# and now the 3G symbol appears briefly for a second and then disapears every couple of minutes.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] acekid109:
check the sprint community forum, there is a moderator that can help you get your service code, once you have this, you can make changes to your apn (I don't think you can add a new APN though) The update screwed up this apn badly, sadly lg and sprint are just passing the blame around
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Alvinu:
I got in contact with him through pm. Sadly he said the method he previously suggested didn't work.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] fwz247:
I don't think they would provide service code for locked phones!
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] acekid109:
The phones are unlocked, even with service code, you can't add a new apn, you can only edit some parts of the existing ones.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] fwz247:
So.. is there a chance in the near future or what?!
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] antintin:
Not really. But resetting to default should help in most cases
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Alvinu:
FIX

So I continued searching and there is an adb fix that forces the "Add APN" activity. Enable ADB debugging and then type

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.INSERT content://telephony/carriers --ei simId -1

This was discovered by xda member deskjet390 here. I used an app that a member named miji2 on another forum created that does this on device here. I also think I should link the website that I found all this information on as they're the reason for all of this so here.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] antintin:
It's still greyed out
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] fwz247:
I tried the apk and it opened the "Add a new APN" page but everything is greyed out and I can't do anything.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] joshdv:
This is a Sprint thing they usually do to their firmware. I found this out back in the days of the G5 when I left Sprint. The fix is to buy a different phone.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] didadi:
FWIW, adb trick works. That command will open a new APN menu on the screen. In mycase, I used RedPocket APN details and saved it.

Immediately device picked 3G and no LTE. Atleast I have data (like air/water!). Next I did 4636 trick to toggle few Global GSM, UMTS/LTE

changes and finally was able to get LTE. The latency/speed is much better with LTE obviously. After all these, the options to chose

APN are still greyed out but device has picked the RP APN settings atleast automatically. I can't believe something as basic as this

is broken so badly on Sprint/LG phones irrespective of who is responsible.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] fwz247:
So you're saying the "add new APN" menu you opened was editable? I tried it before but but everything was greyed out I couldn't edit anything. Did you do something different other than removing sim card and using the adb command?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] completing:
Add APN app Alvinu linked works just fine.

You can't edit, but it lets you add new APN.

Here's the Link to the app
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Maxx3f:
Hi.

After buying 2 of the LG G8 phones from ebay I got the same problem.

One was running android 10 and had no option to change or add apn.

Second one running android 9 was ok. Three dots to add and modify apn.

After updating to 10 apn option dissapeared.

Solution came in a form of small program called: my new apn

Follow the instructions and you can add apn for current carrier.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Hiacios:
The app helped me input my Red Pocket APN settings and now I have data but how do I put it in 4G? It's says LTE next to the service bars but on my other phone it has 4G LTE. Am in 4G mode or not?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] completing:
LTE is 4G. What are you talking about?

The service logo varies by carrier and phone model.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Hiacios:
Oh, I didn't know that it varies by carrier and phone model. In that case then I'm all good!
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Hicaro:

Update: today I changed my e-sim unlocking card and data worked instantly. Turns out my old one was to unlock audio calls only. I finally have data on my sprint g8
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] antintin:
Can you give some more details on how to buy and use this please?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] fwz247:
I got the new chip from a local dealer. It has no brand or marks what so ever. Actually the dealer separeted the esim from a long ribbon of attached ones and non had any writing on it! And he had 'em from a local service too.

I don't know how to help you guys. But I thought I'd give you hope.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] antintin:
Can you ask him if there's a way to buy it online? And aren't esims supposed to be embedded and non removable???
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] fwz247:
I did ask him. He has no idea. He gets them from local distributors in town. Also unlock-e-sims are chips that you install under your sim card in the slot to convince the phone you're still on sprint or verizon or what so ever. It's removable.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] antintin:
Hmm... That's unfortunate. You could buy a bunch and make a listing on eBay though :/. Does he know what phones and what software versions they work on
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] fwz247:
It looked like he knew exactly that my G8 will work using that e-sim. But I doubt he'd share the information. And sorry, can't start a listing on ebay for many reasons.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] antintin:
And he has no listing online anywhere??? I very much doubt that the esim you have is not listed anywhere online. It would be very difficult to find though, given that there's no branding.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] fwz247:
I live in Yemen. Nobody here uses ebay.

---------- Post added at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

But it must be definitely on ebay buy some other source.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] antintin:
Do you think there's any way for you to find out what that esim is called or where to find it online? Finding something simply based on the description of no branding is a bit difficult ? do you think you could upload a picture of it to imgur and post it here

Update on the greyed out APN settings

The last update with June security brought back the ability to change APN settings. Try it out
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] ryar:
Mine are still greyed out after the June 8 update, which is the latest. Care to elaborate your claim?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] aldamon:
Yeah, I'd really like to know as well. This particular glitch is really biting us right now.

We have two GSM-unlocked Sprint LG G8 working on Cricket for the last year and originally activated on Android 9. Now the phones are on Android 10 and I tried to switch one to Red Pocket. APN is grayed out. Been spending the better part of last 24 hours on this and there's no workaround. No codes for sale. Nothing. Just a paperweight flagship after a year. Can't even revert to Pie so I can change APN and upgrade again. Losing my mind here. My last resort, after seeing some Reddit posts, is trying to get Hello Mobile to give me the Service Code/MSL after buying the $5 plan. First CSR wanted me to wait until Hello SIM arrives so no go so far. Hopefully it won't start working immediately with the Hello SIM and they'll have to play ball. My phone? I'm basically stranded with Cricket. No way I'm doing this twice.

[LG G8 Questions & Answers] aldamon:
As many have reported here and on Reddit, even with the ADB trick, APN is still greyed out. I've tried ADB and the separate app that pulls up the same exact screen. No dice.

If we can get the spc or msl what can be done then?

We have two identical sprint lg v50 phones

One i left the stock sprint firmware alone (v450p20h) alone and the apn settings work fine

On the 2nd lg v50 i flashed the tmobile unlocked firmware which shows as (v450p20h) also but settings are greyed out.

I have done the apn reset to default but still the same.

Where can i get the official sprint firmware to flash it back like the 1st phone?

Thanks

Solution

With the great help from Rigattoni i have found an option now. Perhaps you can use it fort he next update?

But it doesn't work with Stock Rom, you have to install a custom rom. Because the Stock Rom dont allowed to make a connection.

If you use the adb commands:

settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*

with this command i have found my way to hide the Status Bar. Perhaps you can include this?

My way was to go from my Laptop with ADB installer installed and the IP from the RNS tot he RNS:

ADB connect ***.***.***.*** <--- here the IPV4-Adress from the Radio in the same Network.

ADB shell

settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*

I hope it works also for you.

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] JazonX:
Which APK do you need?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] deltarz:
I already grabbed what I need, but thanks for offering.

For those who might find this thread in the future, the apks r renamed. Compare fizesizes and icons instead.

I wanted an older version of game genie & armory crate to revert the ingame refresh rate locking. However, using the 08.12 version apks doesn't remove the lock for some reason, despite 08.12 not locking game fps. I suspect there's some hidden external configs. The games list's custom wallpapers were still saved after i reverted baxck to the new version despite 08.12 not having them.

u can remove the fps lock by disabling armory crate or removing a game from the games list.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cityneversleepz:
What you need: Monitor / TV with HDMI, Chromecast, Two Android devices one of which can have an active hotspot and the other needs only wifi.

I am not going to explain how to connect to chromecast in detail. You can find that with a google search if you don't know how already.

I'll refer to the android phones as phone 1 (active hotspot) and phone 2 (only needs wifi).

Press the reset button on the chromecast to start fresh.

Turn on the hotspot on phone 1

Connect to phone 1's hotspot on phone 2 by finding the hotspot's name and using its password.

Download and install Google Home on phone 2.

On phone 2, open Google Home and create a new HOME and name it anything you want.

Find "set up new device" in the same Google Home and continue to set up the Chromecast device by letting the search find it.

Use "other wifi" in the list that appears for connecting with Chromecast which will let you enter the HOTSPOT name and password. That's the only place that will see your phone 1's hotspot.

VERY IMPORTANT STEP enable GUEST MODE which is in the Google Home settings.

Now the connection should start to complete and establish. You are done with phone 2 and don't even need it anymore.

Turn off / unplug the chromecast. Before you turn it on again, go back to Phone 1 and make sure Hotspot is on. (I didn't need to turn off my home router but maybe some people might, IDK).

Now turn on or plug back in Chromecast. It should connect pretty quickly to you hotspot on phone 1.

Turn on cast screen or just go to the app you want to cast if it has its own cast icon.

It should cast for you as it does for me.

Maybe you have audio without picture on Netflix. I had that when I just turned on cast screen, but then by tapping the cast Icon in the Netflix app that issue was solved.

Now you should be able to take that chromecast and phone 1 anywhere you want and have it work without Wi-FI.

GOOD LUCK
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joolz03:
Hi, this only allows me to cast from apps like youtube and netflix. I can't cast my phone screen to CC as my phone is now acting as the hotspot. Is this right? I tried for an hour to cast my phone screen but it just won't connect with the CC.
