[MOD](WIP) Add 3g/ipv4 support + more (update.zip) - T-Mobile LG G3

I don't have much time so Ill revisit this later and give it more details
What this update zip does
add apns
allow edit of default apn
allow edit of tether apn
add 3G
add ipv4 option (and actually work)
proper icons (E, 3G, H and 4G)
all network modes visible (probably not needed but added anyway)
TETHER BROKE FOR NOW
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A NANDROID BEFORE YOU FLASH (works for me might not for you)
THIS REPLACES THE BUILD.PROP SO ANY PREVIOUS BUILD PROP MODIFICATIONS WILL BE LOST USE WITH CAUTION
If you want to use this with your modified build prop check back in a few days or take a look at the build prop inside the zip.
Reboot into twrp
Install apn_mod.zip
Wipe cache/dalvik (do not skip this)
Reboot system
Tell me if you get stuck in 3g I think I fixed that bug but not 100% sure (temp fix: open network mode and select GSM/WCDMA/LTE)

Honestly if you need to ask you probably wont benefit from it. But you can change the default tether apn to fast instead of pcweb + 3g + mega apn pack. I need ipv4 for my vpn to work properly and not leak my ip but there are lots of reasons to use ipv4 instead of ipv6.

This is awesome. could you possibly add lte/wcdma to the network modes? I can get the option in the hidden menu through the dialer, would love an option for it in the network mode menu.

When Roaming IPV6 doesn't work that well. I had to create another APN so I could connect to the roaming network. Even that was a little finicky. This will come in handy when going to Wyoming to visit the Family.

Probably not unless you are only seeing 2g and 4g lte if that is so you will see e/3g/lte after flashing this. but you can just go in the build prop and edit that in. I will try to update the op tonight with details but probably wont get to it until tomorrow. I guess if you already see e/3g/4g you will get a lot of apns from around the world with this package.
*Edit*
can you get ipv4 apn to work properly with this phone on att? I dont mean ipv4/ipv6 but the real ipv4? if not that would be another benefit for you if you care for ipv4.

It shows ipv4 in the APN, but I never see 3g, just LTE, 4g, and a couple times 2g.

yeah then you would only be getting apns from this. If you are interested in that I'm going to make a apn only package tomorrow for the zone people.
*Edit*
sorry didn't see you don't get 3G if this phone supports that band (I think it does) you should get 3g from this.
*edit
but that's just a simple build prob edit Ill have that in the op tomorrow

So this actually changes the tethering APN for the stock tethering app?
Does it also replace framework-res then?

This should help out with VPN and torrents. Checking it out now!

Does this removes the 5GB cap of tether use on T-Mobile ?
Thanks

VPN works now, that's awesome. Still not able to download torrents though, oh well. Nice work!

Hay boss do you have to make the changes to the build.prop for this to work? Reason is it cause poor signal and 4G to drop in and out. At least it does on my device. Had the same problem with those edits on the G2.

If you can get your tethering to work with the fast.t-mobile.com APN, data will not be counted as tethered data.

No 3G bug since I flashed this last night.
Last night I noticed my tether is broken, but I didn't know why. My computer will not connect to the hotspot and will complain that the signal is low.
I did some debugging and found this:
I/hostapd ( 3179): wlan0: AP-STA-MAX-REACHED
The phone is not allowing the client to connect because it thinks the max has been reached. It's not a build.prop thing, I couldn't find it there.
Doing some more digging, I found that the hostapd.conf file that is generated when the hotspot is on (/data/misc/wifi/hostapd.conf) has max_num_sta=0 even though I have set it to 8 on the Settings Menu. I have changed the settings to something else and this always comes up as 0.
I also see some errors about some config files not being setup properly:
Code:
E/hostapd (31402): Configuration file: /data/misc/wifi/hostapd.conf
E/hostapd (31402): Invalid MAC address '/data/misc/wifi/hostapd.accept' at line 1 in '/data/misc/wifi/hostapd.accept'
E/hostapd (31402): Line 15: Failed to hostapd_config_read_maclist '/data/misc/wifi/hostapd.accept' at config_file.c
Not sure where this config_file.c is, probably in the code of the hostapd binary.
I don't think I had seen hostapd being used in the stock tethering, but I wasn't really looking for it when debugging previously.

The stock firmware has a hidden tethering APN, which is pcweb.tmobile.com. Using this zip allows you to change the tethering APN. If that one is configured as fast, then you should be good to go. Is your tethering working with this patch? Mine isn't

[Q] 3g and h switch rapidly

These icon swap back and forth alot. Im on at&t and i dont believe i live in an area with enhanced backhaul what does this mean? Also i have trouble with my MMS. They take a very long time to send and sometimes dont send at all. Could this be why?
I dont know if it is related but try either GSM or WCDMA rather than both under settings - mobile
And may I ask...why are you still using MMS in times of WhattsApp?

I literally know nobody that uses android. and im running cm9 how to do that?
Sounds like Fast Dormancy is enabled on the phone, maybe your network doesn't support it, which means that your phone is taking a long time to renegotiate HSDPA connections...
How would I turn that off in cm9?

Unsure, I believe this is set by the RIL or Radio, stock ROMs likely do the same but hide the fact that it is switching by having both 3G and H icons be the 4G icon.
its something like *#9900* you can look it up online though to make sure. At least it was the way to do it when I had a Samsung
you would type that in dialer and it would bring up a menu
Or you could flash a ROM like leedroid which should have fast dormancy disabled by default since it asks if you want to enable in the AROMA installer.
Mine switches between H and 3G every once in a while. Not really frequently though.

might be your data plan or APN
use the Phone apn
go create a new apn in settings and put in this
Name: phone
APN: phone
leave the rest blank. How frequently is it changing from 3G to H? I don't think anything can really be done about it and it's natural. So long as it doesn't interfere with anything.
Mine switches but not frequently, every once in a while

How do I delete the T-Mobile APN [I already have ROOT]?

Hi everyone,
I just rooted my phone using mrRobinsons No-Counter-Tipping method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687). I still can't seem to DELETE the stock T-Mobile APN, and I need to delete to get on SIMPLE MOBILE's data network.
Please help me if you know how to do this. Thanks.
I may be wrong, but I don't think you would need to delete it. I believe that you would have the option to select T- Mobile or Simple Mobile. Check the Simple Mobile box and you should be good to go. Hopefully this helps you. I'm not 100% sure since I've never had to switch carriers or APN's.

On(in) the apn screen, hit menu, add apn, fill in the blanks (I don't use Simple Mobile so I do not know the correct settings) and then save (or, menu> save) and when back at the apn screen tap the radio button next to Simple Mobile.

Thanks for the reply everyone, but on my HD2 I did add the SIMPLE Mobile APN WITHOUT deleting the T-mobile one, and it didn't connect to the 3g/4g network. Once I deleted the T-Mobile APN (as the instructions say to do per Simple Mobiles website) it worked fine.
Now that I'm using my S3, I tried just adding Simple Mobile, and that Does NOT work. I recently found an app that allowed me to change/delete the T-Mobile APN (APN Manager), but maybe that didn't complete delete it, otherwise something else isn't working correctly.
Is there anybody that is using SIMPLE Mobile on their Galaxy S3 (T999)????????

I just did it this morning. Added the new APN then selected the radio button (to the right of the name of the APN in the list). I was getting an average of 15 Mbps down.
My phone is unlocked, but it's never been a problem with any Android phone I've used.

Your phone is SIM Unlocked? Is it Rooted? I'm just trying to get my setting working, and stock (out of the box), the settings for SIMPLE Mobile didn't work (I restarted and everything just as the instructions say). The T-Mobile APN was still there.
Please let me know exactly what you did so that I can try and make it work for me. Thanks.
EDIT: One other thing. I have the $40 SIMPLE Mobile Plan (which was working fine on my HD2) with unlimited 3g data. What plan do you have? Do you think that would affect it?
im pretty sure u need to go to mobile networks/network operators/default setup and choose manual before attemtping to do your add apn.

I think this may have done the trick. I also think the connection is acting differently since I'm on this phone (with this stock ROM) compared to my HD2 (with CM9 ROM created by Tytung). So deleting the APN made it find the SIMPLE Mobile network, where manually setting this one made it so I didn't need to delete the APN.
Thanks.
Closely related issue - Please Help!
Your issue is closely related to something I'm trying to do, but unsuccessfully. I also have a T-Mobile andriod phone (galaxy) and I've recently switched to Net10 Wireless. The service is excellent and everything works great on the data side. However, I can't delete the T-Mobile APN and it keeps switching back to it randomly even though I've selected the radio box next to Net10's APN. It will work for period of time and then stop and I'll go back in to the APN settings, and sure enough, it has switched back to T-Mobile. It doesn't give me an option to delete this APN, only the one I added.
Any thoughts anyone?
Thank you!

I have a pantech pocket that I just got and I am using it on my new unlock straight talk plan...I am very technology challenged when it comes to this stuff. The pamplet that came with my new micro sim card for straight talk said that I need to change the APN settings and it lists what I need to put in it's place. However, whenever I go into "mobile networks" and try to change my APN settings, I can't. They are shaded and when I touch them they don't react at all. I can't change them at all! So, how would I go about choosing manual in the default setup? I am sorry...I just don't know where I would even find any of that at. Super confused

I don't know if anyone will ever read this, but simple trick:
You're right in that when you just add a Custom APN and select it (on any phone I've had), it won't remember your selection. It'll either keep selecting the Default APN, or neither.
What's always worked for me, is to create a 2nd one and name it "DONT USE" or "Dummy APN" and "Save" it (Menu).
Then create a 3rd one and set that one up the way you want/need and Save it, then select it.
Let the phone run for a minute and make sure your Mobile Data works (go to Google.com). Then Reboot and wait until it finishes booting up (2-3 minutes from when you see the Home Screen) and then go check it and your Custom APN should be selected.
Your Carrier may have instructed you to Delete the original one, but it can't be done from the phone's APN screen anyway. They never bothered trying it, trust me.

Hotspot performance

Hi, I live in a metropolitan area with generally good LTE signal (t-mobile/usa), and before the OPO3 I had HTCs, nexuses and a Z3. And I use the WiFi hotspot a lot. All the handsets in the past few years had performed surprisingly really well - same service, same place - i could stream HD youtube since 2010.
This one though is barely loading pages. Everything else works great. Is this normal?
when u r connected via ur mobile hotspot have u done the speed test through the device u r connected to and see what speeds u r getting
---------- Post added at 05:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 AM ----------
not as good as urs
it's like riding a comet..
oh and that verizon IP is there because i couldn't even load the test page, so i had to load it on my wifi, but i tested it connected through the phone

Do you have two sim card loaded? I have T-Mobile and I only have 2G, 3G and LTE option.

Lg v30/v30+ free hotspot (no root or msl required)

Edit: If you want this edit on the Oreo update (I just received it today) you must add the APN before updating. They have remove the button to add a new APN.
If it is added before you update it will stick!
I have only tested this on my sprint V30+ and am assuming it also works on the Sprint V30 and probably also the G6 but i cannot test them
also this should work on all the providers that require dun be active in the apn.
Even though the apns are locked(grayed out) and we cannot edit them they still allow us to add new ones.
so i tried adding an new apn with all the same settings as the default "internet" apn but adding in ,dun.
Worked Flawlessly! hotspot activated no hesitation.
Those of you who have other providers an wanna try you will need to get your default APN.
If your on sprint yours is probably the same as mine so you may skip to step #2.
Step #1
To view your current apn settings without your msl you open the dialer and type in ##debug# (##33284#) to open the hidden debug menu.
click on "Active APN Connections" and click on the default internet APN (Mine is titled "internet").
you can view all the settings but once again you cannot edit but right down your settings and then move on to step #2.
Step #2
now that you have your APN settings open settings and click More - Mobile networks - Access Point Names.
hit the 3 dot settings icon then hit add APN.
For Sprint only change the fallowing items leave everything else alone.
Name - hotspot (this can be anything you want)
APN - x.ispsn
Username - null
Password - null
APN type - default,mms,dun
APN protocol - IPv4/IPv6
others who decide to try this add all your settings in but like always add ",dun" to "APN type"
Now hit the 3dot menu again and save and thats it you should now see your new APN in the list of locked ones.
you do not have to do anything else in that menu just go turn on your hotspot and enjoy.
This method also holds through reboots.
Also...
Even though it is not grayed out you still cannot edit the new APN. if you make a mistake or just wanna make adjustments
you must hit Restore default settings in the 3dot menu and start all over again.
Edit
If Restore default settings does not show up in your menu after adding a new APN you can still reset them by typing ##scrtn# into your dialer an hit ok

Even though it is not grayed out you still cannot edit the new APN. if you make a mistake or just wanna make adjustments
you must hit Restore default settings in the 3dot menu and start all over again.

The option for restoring defaults only shows up after you have added an APN

Hmm that is strange tell me is yours leased or under an installment plan?
I'm wandering cause mine is uicc unlocked due to mine being bought outright I'm just curious if that makes a difference.
Also may try ##scrtn# in your dialer it's suppose to reset your network don't know if that includes apn or not

Mine is leased actually.. But I did follow your instructions to get hotspot working and it seems to be working. However something strange is happening. My daughter connected her phone to my hotspot and works as it should but with her tablet it connects fine but no data seems to be transfering.. just weird..

So that may be what is different... and as for it not working
I had the same issue when I first figured this out I was at work testing it with my buddies phone and it would connect but no internet seemed to go through but then I went to hotspot settings and changed it to 5 GHz and it worked fine I changed it back to 2.4 right after and it worked fine from then on even on his phone (I wanted mine in 2.4 GHz because my car does not support 5 GHz )

I bought mine outright but they won't unlock it. Sprint said it has to be on their network for 50 days before they will unlock it. How did you get yours unlocked? I'm calling back today 50 days is ridiculous..
question...does this work with T-Mobile to bypass the speed limitation for included HotSpot?

Also did test ##scrtn# in your dialer does clear your apns
So you can reset that way

I did. And yes, it does reset apn.
Had to do the reset.. my phone started acting funny with error messages and data would stop working after a while after changing the apn to get hotspot working... Just strange..

I am on the T-Mobile business plans. It does not seem to do anything for me.
Default APN: 20.45down/2.89up (Mbps)
DUN APN: 18.86/4.69
Do you want to test it and compare with my result?

Compatible Data Carriers in Canada

So I just got the phone yesterday, and I noticed that data on it didn't work, but calling and texting did. My data plan is under Rogers, so I went to a Rogers Wireless store, and they couldn't make data work, as it apparently couldn't connect to their APN. I was wondering if this was a software issue, where it wouldn't accept an APN from any service provider, or if the phone just doesn't work with Roger's data specifically?
Also, if anyone in BC has gotten the data working on their Red Magic 5G, how did you do that, and what's your service provider?
Try again. Im on Videotron in Quebec, took me several tries to finally to get to save the apn. Roaming data for Videotron is on Rogers network. Tested and working in Ontario.
Although, carriers in BC might use other lte bands. ?
Working without any hassle or need to setup the APN configuration with Public Mobile on their LTE network.
There were some mentioning the APN setup page isn't clear, especially is you're using dark mode.
Rogers APN settings should be readily available so you can edit/input yourself.
Edit: found this:

You need to use an app called MyNewAPN to add the APN settings. For whatever reason you can't do it through the APN menu.

MyNewAPN? I can't find an app of that exact name in the google play store. Could you link me to a page where I can download it?

Never mind, I just used a seperate app to put in the APN, and it works now! Thanks for the suggestion!
