No roaming settings at all. Please help!! - Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone im new to the site. I have a sprint lg g5 and im out of the country currently. So heres the deal. I requested a uicc unlock before i left. So i got here (israel) and i had roaming for about a half hour and then it just went to no service. So when i went into my settings to make sure the roaming was on i saw that the option for roaming whether domestic or international does not exist. Also network type options all i get is lte/cdma or just cdma no automatic option.
I called sprint and they said its lg's fault so i called lg and they said its sprint's fault.
Has anyone ever seen or heard of this problem?
Comments, ideas,solutions anything please i need help so i can get service.

Force Roam

IS there any change someone could develop a way to force the EVO to roam? I know there are quite a few people over at Android Central that have asked about it. Force roam is one of the two things I miss from my Pre, because I do a lot of traveling, and sometimes I'm caught in between Sprint and roaming and just bounce back and forth between 0 & 1 bar.
Thanks

I've seen that. Is it the only option? I was hoping someone with more knowledge then me would be able to make a simple app or widget with a switch. Is there just no option for that, or just a lack of interest?
Thanks for the reply

Done, thanks. I guess I have to stick with the posted method for now. It amazes me that someone can't make a simple little toggle widget.

Update: CyanogenMod 6 RC1 and Nightlies has forced roaming capability:

Straight Talk + GNex.. coverage?

Hey guys. I just got my GNex up and running and I had a question for those using ST. I am currently running on AT&T post paid.
First off, this picture sucks. It is way too small and hard to tell where coverage is... do you know where I can find a bigger map?? If not, I'll try to get in touch with ST support...

}
Second, should I be looking at "Android Coverage"? I assume I should since... ya know... it's an android, but it seems like they are calling "non-android" voice only and "android coverage" data + voice. Is this correct? If so, I probably will not be able to use ST because many states I travel in will not have data service (which means no google nav).
On the webpage, if you click on the "bring your own phone" program, you get yet another coverage map which appears to be the "non-android" map above...
Thanks for the help guys.. :good:
the android coverage is sprint coverage. straighttalk does sell android phones that run on sprint's network only.
you should look at the map on the left which uses att's coverage.

Ah, that clears that up. Thanks for that. I assume the coverage is HSPA+? I'm not expecting LTE (especially with my non-LTE GSM GNex..).
its whatever att has in the area you are in.

Good deal.

Verizon G3 on T-Mo, Service Disabled

I got a Verizon G3 from a friend of mine, seeing threads saying that it works fine on T-Mobile. I put in my SIM, and I get the standard "This SIM card is from an unknown source", but I also get a "NO" sign next to my signal bars and the home screen says "Service Disabled". The phone worked fine with my friend's service on VZW
The IMEI is fine, I've checked on multiple IMEI checkers and have confirmed with my friend that it's not been reported lost or stolen. I've got the APN set as mentioned in other threads and on the T-Mobile site, and I've registered with the T-Mobile WCDMA network (also tried with the GSM network). However, when I run network searches, T-Mobile doesn't reliably show up. AT&T shows up more reliably, but not 100%, and VZW rarely shows up
The thing is that the service disabled error doesn't always show up, and sometimes I do actually get T-Mobile service. It's not fast by any means, but it's enough to send texts. There are also times where I just get no service and I get the usual "Emergency calls only" message
So what's my recourse here? Does the phone need to be unlocked, am I doing something wrong, is the phone defective, should I just sell it for a T-Mobile model (yeah, I should, but it'll be difficult to find someone willing to trade)?
Thanks!

Never mind. I took it outside after letting it sit a couple hours and it works fine, there's just terrible reception in my house compared to my last phone Guess I'll have to get one of those T-Mobile signal repeaters

Sprint LS992 domestically unlocked but data not working at all

I have had my sprint LG G5 domestically unlocked officially by sprint. Calls work with a tmobile or att sim so it is definitely unlocked.
I cannot for the life of me get data to work. The only options I have in "network mode" are Automatic, LTE/CDMA, CDMA and GSM/UTMS. I've tried Automatic and I've tried GSM/UTMS. I have LTE roaming enabled. All LTE bands including bands 2, 4 and 12 enabled. All verified in ##DATA# I've tried switching band priority to 2, 4 and 12 but that didn't help.
LTE discovery picked up LTE band 12 for a split second once but usually it just connects to UTMS and no data on UTMS. This is in an area with great coverage. It says it isn't roaming so maybe that is an issue since the lte bands on the G5 seem to be categorized as roaming lte bands. But not sure why I wouldn't get UTMS data.
APNs are correct.
Anyone any ideas?? Is this phone just crippled for use in the USA?? Do I have to resort to the software hack method to unlock it with hiddencallmenu?

Like I said I had it officially unlocked.
I did figure out that I needed to set the APN to default and authentification to none. Works now. Thank you.
Are you still using this device?
If you are, I am curious how things are working. Are all of the voice and data features working properly? I may switch to T-Mobile from Sprint later this month. Thank you.

Carrier name display as Samsung

I have a note 10 Plus unlock and instead of seeing my carrier name like AT&T, Sprint, Verizon or T-Mobile, it display Samsung. Why is it not showing my carrier name Sprint. You can see it on preferences, about phone, status, sim card status, network, Samsung. You can see under Brand Samsung. Also on lock screen top left says Samsung instead of Sprint.

I don't know how to change it, but you can hide it with 'quickstar' pluggin for Good Lock.
Thank you, but anybody has any idea why is it displaying Samsung as my network operator instead of Sprint
I surely would like to see "samsung"instead of my carrier name!

No idea, but interested in learning the reason! I'm also with Sprint, and seeing Samsung would be nice for a change
