[Q] LG L5 E612g can't access to internet via data connection

Hi I have an LG Optimus L5 E612g only rooted no custom rom recently I updated the firmware to version v10 but I didn't noticed that does not work via data connection.
is there a way to configure manually this?
one curious thing is that when I try to find any available network it says network error.
or it is possible to reset the movil and downgrade de updates, because I did hard reset but still updated and rooted.
thank you!!

Go to your Android’s main Settings.
Under Wireless & Networks, go to “mobile networks.” You many need to hit “more settings” to get to this option.
Tap on Access Point Names (that’s what APN stands for).
Press menu, and then hit “New APN.”
Enter in all the necessary information in each field by tapping on it and then pressing OK to save.
After you’ve finished entering all the settings, press menu again and then Save.

[Q] *#*#4636#*#* not working

Hey i want to change my phone to WCDMA Preferred by using *#*#4636#*#* but when i am trying to use nothing happens?

'Hidden menu" on our note 3 is not enabled...
you need to be rooted...
And you'll need Root Explorer...
Go to file EFS/Carrier/hiddenmenu
Open with root explorer text editor
You will see the word "OFF"
Delete and type in "ON"
Use capital letters
Hit the back button "you have made changes to this file do you wish to save?"
Click yes
Reboot
You now have your hidden menu but I don't know if all the codes are the same as previous Samsung devices... I don't mess with it to much... I just used it to turn off the wifi power saving mode.

Is there any way to access it without rooting the device?

Not anything that I know of...
If you go to a Best Buy store when the Samsung specialist is working... they are supposed to be able to plug in and enable that menu to do their tests before giving you a warranty claim... maybe if you found one of those dudes and bought him a beer?

I had the same problem, the folders did not exist. I did a search for hiddenmenu and it found nothing. Then I checked the EFS folder again and everything magically appeared.
Rooted, using Hyperdrive ROM

If your rooted try "advanced signal status" app on the playstore... Works great and easier

Answer
Just try *#0808#

No need to enable the HiddenMenu anymore.
You can use 'Phone INFO ★Samsung★' app --> go to 'Secret Codes' menu, or use 'Shortcut Master' app --> go to 'Secret Code Explorer' menu to launch the secret codes (ROOT is required).

No APN specified on device.

Anybody run into this error when sending or receiving mms? I'm on cm11 and this was never an issue until today.

Yes just started today for me as well. Seemed to have started with the latest nightly for my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 2. I tried resetting APN, no dice. Tried using Hangouts instead of stock, no change. I also tried flashing the nightly from 3/3 & was stuck in boot loop....I'm out of ideas, hoping the next nightly fixes this as I find it EXTREMELY annoying!

Try the program elixir2 from play store.
use titanium backup or similar to move it to a "system app" --- if you don't move to system it cannot write the apn settings!!
then when you run elixir2,,, tap the top left button labled "information",,, then look for and tap "Telephony",,, then tap "APN settings"
edit or add proper setting and remember to then tap the '3 dots' and 'Save' your work,,,
mms function should now work if you have the proper /etc/apn-conf.xml file
... if you need it just grab one from a previously working mms ROM and overwrite the 'apn-conf.xml' file and set permissions

Thank you for your quick reply, hhp_211. I tried copying the etc/apns-config.xml from the 3/3 nightly (which had worked fine), changed permissions & rebooted....still that pesky 'No APN specified on device' error. I did figure out how to make the error disappear, I switched to Hangouts & did a force stop on the Messaging app. A temporary fix until I figure something else out...

Cool, the .xml would only be half off the fix though... You need to set the apn
If you have the voice dialer app you can also use that and speak "open APN's" to get to the settings menu

I've tried all these things to no success, but thank you. I just switched over to PAC-man and hae the same results. Then went back to stock touchwiz 4.3 and mms works fine. I figured maybe if I restore touchwiz and then restore cm11 over it then mms might work but it still doesn't. I guess this is a kitkat issue only. Seems every kitkat rom i've tried have the same issue(s).

I tried an APN setting I found on the internet, it didn't work. Not sure what it should be....at any rate using Hangouts isn't too bad. Thanks for the suggestions hhp!

Found a fix for Verizon here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2053705&page=3
Essentially, in the MMSC spot in APN settings you put:
http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=1234567890
REPLACE 1234567890 with the 10 Digit Phone # of the Device.
Did this by opening Elixir2 (thanks for turning me on to this hhp!), go to Information, Telephony, APN Settings. LTE - Verizon Internet is already selected. Tap on it, and change the MMSC there and SAVE.
Hope this helps someone else! THANK YOU 4MUSKRAT & hhp!

[Q] How to fix "SIM Card is from an unknown source"

Hello,
I have recently purchased a Galaxy s5 in USA.
It's a unlocked version and I just noticed that I get an error that says "SIM Card is from an unknown source",
Even though my SIM works fine I still get that error, probably because its Verizon's version.
Now my question is how do I fix it ? I read around and it seems like I have to change the name of the following app?
"vzwphoneservice.apk" to "vzwphoneservice.apk.bak"
-Located at System/priv-app ?
Now I tried finding this specific file and I couldn't.
However, I have another file named VZWAPNService.apk but once I try to change the name of it I get an error that says "Access Denied"
Thank you.

anyone?

have u got root ?

You have to root the device to do this.
If your device has been rooted, you should grant root permission for the file explorer app that you used to rename the system file.

You can use ES File Explorer app, open Menu > Tools > Root Explorer = ON, then try again.

I'm able to edit it with ES Fie explorer now but like I said I can't find the following file :
"vzwphoneservice.apk"
I tried changing the other files names I got here but (all the ones that start with VZ) but nothing helped so I changed their names back..
any idea what file is it ?

Can you show the screenshot when you get that error message?
In order to get to know this error message comes from what app, try the following:
Install Shortcut Master app, open Menu > Capture Shortcut > Manually Capture. When the error message is being shown, scroll down the notification bar, tap on the 'Capture Shortcut' and show me what you get?

Hello, so I tried using shorcut master like you suggested.. I couldn't really find the information you wanted..
But here's a screenshot of that notification : http://i.hizliresim.com/R6oq9R.png
However, I found out that it has something to do with "setup wizard", I clicked on "force stop" (once you hold your finger on that notification you can click app info, then it takes you to setup wizard)
AND suddenly, this notification disappeared but I also found out that it'll pop up again on my notifications once I restart my phone.

Anyone

Thank you so much, it worked =)
But just out of curiosity, there's nothing to be worried about right? I don't want to see that some feature in my phone got disabled because of that.
All I want is to get rid of this message and that's it, its perfect.

I'm not sure, but this method has been reported working fine. Anyway it is more safer than renaming the file, as you wanted to do. And you can always enable it again if need.
Just curiously, is your phone fully unlocked?
Can you install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Secret Codes' > scroll down to 7465625 and tap to launch?
(7465625 is a secret code for checking SIM LOCK).
Thanks.

How to force 4G only (LTE only) Mode?

Can someone help me I am trying to force my Huawei P10 Plus to use LTE/4G only mode. I have latest Firmware/Patch Level.
I have tryed many service codes in format like *#*#.....#*#* codes but I can not set the LTE Only mode.
Isn't it possible without "root"?

It is possible to force "4G only" without root. First download "Setting Database Editor" from playstore. Open it and look for "hw_networkmode_preferences". I use this value "9,3,2,1,11" on my phone. Save it and restart your phone. If you still don't get "4G only" option then you need to open the "Setting Database Editor" again and look for "hw_add_4g_only". Mine was set to "250". You need to change it according to your country mobile code. Look for your mobile country code here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_country_code. In my case I change the value to "250;502" since 502 is my country code. Save it and restart your phone.
Tested on rebranded P10 Plus 256GB.

Thank you very much for your Help! I already installed the DB Settings Editor and found out that hw_networkmode_preferences were already "9,3,2,1,11" so this wasn't the case. Additionally I found that I have to add "hw_add_4g_only" so I added it with the wrong Country Code because I didn't know what the hw_add_4g_only means. I was searching for it a few days now and never got an answer, so I was trying to ask here. And you made it clear now. The Wikipedia Link was very helpful and it works now for my Country. I have to set it 262 for O2 Telefonic Germany.
So again Thank you very very much!

Using Huawei P10 (VTR-L29) 8.0.0.374 (185) solution above works for me too.

Worked on my Samsung Galaxy S9

Honor 6X is stubborn as heel... Nothing works.
Can't even find the commands... Sigh!

First Method :
1. Use SIM 1 as the default connection setting
2.
You need to install this app for FREE
at Google Play
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teknokia.force4glteonly
pro version : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teknokia.force4glteonlypro
galaxy store: https://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.teknokia.force4glteonly
pro version : https://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.teknokia.force4glteonlypro
3. Run the application, press the SIM 1 only or Android testing button. You will enter two LTE Switcher options and also 2 Android testing options.
4. You can try all of them which support your phone.
If the telecommunication operator you are using does not support VoLTE (Voice over LTE) and uses LTE Only Mode, so regular calls will be blocked.
Second Method :
1. DOWNLOAD Force 4G LTE Only 2020 Pro application from Google Play
2. Run the Application
3. Select SIM 1 Only menu, then Hidden Activity
4. wait to load until 100%
5. tap the search box type RadioInfo
6. In the DEvice Info app section, there is a RadioInfo activity.
7. Long Tap 3 options will appear: Create Shortcut, Launch Activity, Edit Shortcut. I recommend Select Create Shortcut to make it easier for us to enter network activity mode without having to bother opening the Force 4G LTE Only 2020 Pro application.
8. Please select Launch Activity to enter the Radio Info
9. Select LTE Only in set preferred network type
