Okay its a fully stock lg opti g, and its brandnew and not connecting on network. Id hate to have to take it to a sprint repair center. Anyone got ang ideas ive done soft resets and hard resets, airplane mode. Nothing seems to work. I tried activating the phone today and no network, I cant even make a phone call. Any help will be grateful!!! Oh and all other phones in home have perfect signal!

Ask over at the Sprint Optimus G forums. Got to be a cdma related thing.
LG Optimus G E971/3/5/6/7
E980 from eBay; unlocked with number code (no data service on T-Mobile at this point-only phone); rooted with XDA instructions-verified with Joey Krim’s Root Checker basic; installed SuperSU; installed ASTRO file manager pro (had it from prior phone) - could not access Build Prop file so installed Joey Krim’s Build Prop Editor; as per XDA instructions changed ro.radio.networkmode=disable to ro.radio.networkmode=enable (and SAVED!!!). Opened “Settings”; “Networks”; “Tethering and Networks”; “Mobile Networks” (which now shows “Network Mode” which I entered and selected “GSM/WCMDMA/LTE auto”; then went down to “Network Operators” and opened and checked “automatic”. After booting there was no change in data access and I figured out problem was with APN (“Access Point Names”) settings - went to uTube for "MMS/APN settings for HTC Inspire T-MOBILE " and using pause button got the APN data needed. Went back to “Mobile Networks” page and clicked on “Access Point Names” which opens a blank page. Clicked on the lower right “Menu” button which opens small window at bottom with two options-pick the “New APN” which opens the full page for entry of the uTube data (I did not find on this E980 a place to enter “MMS Protocol:WAP 2.0"). Rebooted and data service appeared. The data service was “E” (Edge apparently) but I live on Mexican border and no LTE yet nor has T-Mobile apparently switched their “4G” to 1900 band. I will investigate with T-Mobile support how, if possible in this market, to move up the data food chain. My prior phones were Palm Treos then HTC G2 and RAZORs for landline replacement with PhoneLynx devices.
LG says without hardware flash no possibility (if at all) of 4g operation and not sure will work now with LTE from T-Mobile (not in my area yet). T-Mobile support says G Pro is not in their system yet. Amazing to me that all phone manufacturers do not have frequency agile products - my 12 year old RTI TV remote handles multiple frequencies and IR. LG support would not comment on Key Lime Pie . . .
I feel bad for users of other carriers who can't get the G Pro. Its stupid how LG makes it exclusive on AT&T than does little to nothing to market it. LG is just hurting the sales potential of the device by not making it more available in the US market.
I agree. Although it has been confirmed that this device will work and get T-Mobile 4G and LTE. I dont understand why T-Mobile won't market this phone. Its clearly a Note 2 beater in every aspect.

I think AT&T has put a stranglehold on LG just like VZW does with some of their partner manufactures. You can bet there were some back room deals going on prior to release.

Maybe, but LG has many phones for T-Mobile as well, i think more even. But the exclusives have been AT&T only, like the 3D LG Thrill, the "first" HD screen and LTE Nitro HD...............yeah you might be right.....
where did you buy your unlock code? which selleR?

LG reminds me of Commodore back in the 1980s: GREAT products, but not a clue how to market them. The OG Pro has a big H/W advantage over the Galaxy Note II and a larger screen (with less bloatware) than either the HTC One or S4; LG should be running comparison ads non-stop. What do we get instead? Almost nothing.

Bought on Ebay from salvatoregm - UNLOCKED. Unlocked many phones in past with various unlocker sites without problems.
tmobile
Okay I understand that the bootloader is currently locke but assuming it gets unlocked would it be possible to flash a custom modem to create support for tmobile 4g in un-refarmed areas? something like they did for the note one?
How does The LG Pro G work on T-Mobile? I live in a re-farmed area and am thinking of switching to the T-Mobile $30 prepaid plan.I have the chance to get a Pro G for $49,my plan was to get it,unlock it and use it on T-Mobile.

Probably not. What helped the Note in this regard was it's similarity to the Galaxy S2 hardware, and then T-Mobile release the Note on their network. T-Mobile doesn't carry any LG devices with even remotely similar hardware.
Have people been able to unlock phones that were previously locked? I'm assuming so, since I have seen unlocked ATT Phones. I want to buy one on eBay and then get an unlock code, but wanted to make sure it was possible first. I'm switching from the Note II. I love Samsung, but hate the Camera...
4G and LTE Works on T-Mobile
I was digging around in the not so secret.....secret menu and experimenting with options and found that you can simply activate the 4G and LTE on the Optimus G Pro. I will post a few screenshots of the home screen and of some speed tests for your amazement.......
You can access the LG menu by entering 3845#*980#
I'm not responsible if you blow your phone up....please be careful.
I'm using the ATT Lg Optimus G Pro here in Canada with my Rogers carrier and get full LTE speeds just by adding Rogers LTE APN settings. this would be the same for Bell or Telus. I have to say trading my s4 for this device was a smart move! Ya sure no dev support because of locked bootloader, I'm sure eventually that will change

According to a few people I've seen on here with mobile, you should get full LTE speeds on T-Mobile.

What I don't see is the support for t-mobile AWS bands for 4g....just LTE and Edge....
No need to activate LTE,should work out of the box as long as the APN settings are correct.

Hi, i was on custom ROM for a while then i sold the phone to my friend and re-flashed everything back to stock and paid for unlock code for T-Mobile. Everything work great, except Hot Spot and GPS. Can't enable Hot Spot and GPS is not working. Is there any rom made for t-mobile on LG optimus g pro or fix for that two issues?
Thanks
Hello all,

I can see network n my laptop gets connected too but internet doesn't work on laptop.. i can browse on my cell phone though.. Is it because mine is an AT&T unlocked version? Please help..

Hi so just few days ago I bought lg g3 d855 as my old phone kick the bucket.
What I'm finding is that my internet is very slow compare to my old phone with the same SIM card and data plan. (i'm using 3g)
If I take my fiance phone (same network, plan and APN setting) the page will load around twice as fast.
I'm using stock firmware latest update(available for me) v20h-214-07
Any ideas? (getting LTE is not an option as there isn't signal where I live)
