Hi everyone,
I am going to Europe and have a Verizon G4, I know its a global phone, but I dont know what that means...can I just pop in a Cosmote SIM in Europe while im there and its up and running, or, do I need to go in and switch it to gsm and add APN settings for text? Where would be a good resource to find APN settings for Europe, I tried googling and cant find any consistent answer....
thanks in advance,
It's probably automated when you put the sim in. I bought a taiwan g4 off eBay and I didn't have to enter any apn for my network.

Hello all,
Prior to going to the US last September I had checked with my carrier (Vivo) in Brazil that the 4G-LTE frquency they use is 2.600MHz. When in the US, I managed to buy the above said device and brought home. Back home, as it was
unlocked my carrier's SIM card worked like a charm. It downloaded from the carrier's network the APN configurations and all was fine.
I went to the carrier's shop to try the 4G-LTE so I could bump up my contract. I tried the clerk's SIM card (he has 4G-LTE) and the signal icon changed from 4G to a smaller 4G with underscore LTE. But only the 3G and 2G APNs were found when searching networks manually.
I did rooted the device and removed the bloatware that came along using this xda-developers how-to.
Any idea how can I get 4G-LTE access on my device?
Thanks in advance,

I suspect your APN need modifying. Check the clerks APN settings against yours.
Your APN is set wrong. I'm not sure how to change it on the stock AT&T ROM though.

It's in the settings/tethering and networks/mobile networks/access point names. I have consumer cellular, but it leases from ATT, so it has slightly different settings, though ATT APN will work ok.

I had thought that menu was just tethering settings. That's embarrassing. :S
I was recently in Korea for work, so I picked up the G4 to bring back to the US. I bought it from SK Telecom, they told me phone should work globally. Now being back in the US, i popped in my Verizon Sim card and no mobile network is available. Phone is reading my sim and has the correct APNs, but still no connection. Does anyone know how to access the service menu to change bands?

I figured, but does anyone know how to access the hidden menu to view all the bands available?
5457#*500#
That should do however I can't access the main hidden menu to disable the throttling.
Thanks for the info 3rd degree.
I tried that on my H815 G4 but it didn't work (invalid code).
I also tried 5457#*815# but that didn't work either.
Unfortunately the 3845#*modelnumber# that always worked previously doesn't now. eg 3845#*815# just gives the invalid code error.
*Edit* the answer is in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/how-to-enter-g4-hidden-menu-t3122373
the code that works for me is 277634#*#

Which carrier are you using in Europe? Are you roaming from T-Mobile or have you purchased a different service/SIM card in Europe?
Also, what country are you in specifically?
There was a guide somewhere on XDA regarding Qualcomm processors and band unlocking using QXDM (LTE) and QPST (GSM/WCDMA) though I forget the exact name. I believe there was also concern that it could damage antennas. Also I have no idea if it actually works and mucking around in the NV RAM space is very risky. I would not advise it.
Is at least the GSM service working? If so, is it really that bad that you need LTE? Personally I would leave it at "oh the gsm works, I'm good". :good:
Depends on the carrier you are using, is your phone unlocked? I would assume that it is since your can receive gsm signal.... Anyways, what you would want to do is check your network's APN and check our phones APN settings and add the 4g/LTE APN settings to your phone manually... Then restart your phone and try again, make sure you select the apn after adding it so you know it's active. Try that. If that doesnt work, then go into your APN settings again and just do (reset apn setings) or something along the lines of that which resets/restores your apn settings back to normal/default.... either one could work, try the first one first ofc!

I have an LG G5 LS992 from Sprint. I bought that phone in the USA. Now I need to use it in Spain. Sprint said they unlocked the phone. I am using Vodafone carrier. When I inserted the SIM card, Vodafone ES is recognized. I can do and receive calls, but I do not have internet. Any solution to that problem?

Use the hidden call menu apk to get into apn settings and set up apn? Have you done this yet?

Hi, thanks.
Yes, I have done a new APN and is still not working.
I also tried the different options in the submenu System Selection. Also, I enabled all possible bands in the Hidden Menu.

Try to dial ##3282# and navigate to view apn settings, reset to default and it should auto adjust to your sim att phones are a pain with updates if you're not on their Network

Thanks but I have done that and now can't send attachments with texts and still can't edit or add a new apn. The ebay seller agreed to take it back so I will try the att version.

I did get the android 10 update and now the hot spot is not working. I tried using the settings database editor to change the value of the tethering entitlement setting, but apparently it's not working with android 10...Any suggestions or should I just get rid of this att g8 too?
