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.

I have HTC One M8 international version. Currently I'm in Poland and tried Play and Orange sim cards but phone is not connecting to LTE.
I've tried to lock radio to "LTE only" mode and as you can see on screenshot it sees the LTE cells but is not connecting to them.

I've tried different ROMs and Radio firmware. Also I've checked which bands enabled in my phone using QXPD and they are: Band 3 (1800Mhz), Band 7 (2600Mhz), Band 8 (900Mhz) and Band 20 (800Mhz).
So in Poland "Play" and "Orange" (shared LTE with T-Mobile) have their LTE based on 1800Mhz (Band 3), so it should be working on my phone.
Maybe someone had the same problem and can help me.
maybe the sim card isn´t prepaired for lte?
I have two sim cards from vodafone germany and only one card has lte, the other one (for Tablet ect.) with the same contract (multi sim) has only gsm.
Well, I've inserted sim card from the other phone which is connecting to LTE, so it's not an option.
Finally I've found a SIM (Play operator) which is working with my phone. Also I've flashed latest Maximus HD ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2695706).
So still not clear why Orange is not working, seems also a sim card problem.
But it's still not clear what was the cause of LTE 4G not working: radio firmware or rom. But it's clear that sim card is important.
Has anyone noticed their FI SIM roam when off of sprint and t-mobile coverage?
I have a Nexus 6, 6p and 5x. When my FI SIM is in the 6P and N6 and I'm in sprint mode/CDMA mode and there is no sprint coverage I have noticed that talk/text and 3g data work just fine on both the VZW and the US Cellular networks.
Also when in T-Mobile mode/ GSM mode and there is no T-Mobile coverage, both talk/text and LTE/HSPA/Edge data work just fine on AT&T. Also if on AT&T I actually have mobile data while on a phone call!!!??
But on my 5x I have no roaming at all doesn't matter what I do. It will not work at all on any network except Sprint and T-mobile.
All 3 of the phones have been tried on various ROMS and kernels and that don't seem to make a difference. Currently on Chroma/Franco on all 3.
I use FI Switch by @dwithereIl and Signal Check PRO to switch between CDMA and GSM mode and to know what provider I am currently on.
What has been you experience?

No Project FI users with the 5x??
I don't have an answer for you, but you might want to ask this question on Reddit, at the Project Fi subreddit and get the Reddit hive mind working for you. You'll need to make a user ID to post questions, but you can search the subreddit as a lurker and you might dig up the answer you seek.
I have yet to be in an area where I don't have sprint and t-mobile coverage, so have yet to see my 5x roam. I have seen it switch between the two networks between home and the office. I'll be traveling to in a couple weeks, so I'll see what happens then.
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.

Try the app in the OP of this thread, it should help you to access the roaming settings - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3574819

It works
Worked like a charm. Thank you!!
I recently switched over from using my Galaxy Note10 which was a AT&T device to my unlocked S20 Ultra 5G. When I made the switch I also changed my plan from the Business Unlimited Starter plan I had been on since last year to the Business Unlimited Performance plan which now gives me 5G/5G+ access. I am in a AT&T 5G area & I can not pick up a 5G signal at all. My city is pretty much covered in 5G and their is a 5G tower not far from me. I've tried resetting my network settings with no luck at all. What issues could I be experiencing that I am only picking up LTE+ & not 5G?
Try this...
First call AT&T and make sure you give them the IMEI and ICCID...then get the Net Monitor App and go to the top right hand 3-dots click dots and click SETTINGS...Then ANDROID RADIO Menu....click okay when warning comes up....scroll way way way down to Set Preferred Network Type and just make sure your are on Unknown per the screen shots below...always remember what is chosen if it is not Unknown in case you need to go back. Please do let us know if this worked? Also, DO NOT change anything else in this app as it could mess with your connection

Just wanted to give a update on my AT&T 5G situation with my S20 Utlra 5G (SM-G988U1). After calling business customer support I had my IMEI# changed from what they had on file for me which was my Galaxy Note10 to my S20 Ultra 5G. This now allows me access to 5G on AT&T. If anyone else has this concern just contact AT&T customer service and make sure your account has your 5G device's IMEI# linked to it.
I have the Google Pixel 6 Pro by Verizon and I have a 5G tower about 1.5 miles from my house. I get really good speeds or so I thought. When I run the speedtest app I get around 75mb of download and about 50 of upload. My neighbor using his Samsung S21 Ultra get at least double my speeds. Now we both have about 3 bars of cell service when we are at our houses, but when we go to where the tower is we have 5 bars of service. He gets 330mb of dl and about 70 upload. I get about 150 dl and 50 up. His speedtest app reads 5G Verizon Network and mine reads LTE Verizon Network. I went to Verizon and got a new sim card, I have rebooted the phone several times and reset the network in the settings but no luck.
I read an article here on this but I'm still confused why the S21 would show 5G Verizon where the GP6Pro shows LTE Verizon. I am attaching pics below. We are both standing at the same place using the same network. His reads 5G mine reads LTE... Just wondering if anyone else has the same issue.

Ensure that you are indeed on 5G and not LTE in settings
I finally got 5g and got 634mb download which was surprising and was indoors too and still get LTE on my Speedtest app also.

It is definitely on, that is the first thing I checked.
