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.

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#*#

If you call 277634#*# it wil open the menu and Go into Field Test > Modem Settings and will let you change it

For some reason, field test isn't an option on my Tmo variant. Any ideas? (i'm trying to see what LTE bands are enabled)
anyone knows the marshmallow code?

I'm currently using the AT&T H810 on Cricket Wireless and am wondering how to get the data to work with this Verizon variant. I can make calls when I put my Cricket SIM card in, but I get no data. Any ideas or anyone already get this working? Thanks!
Did you change the APN settings? Also, AT&T uses LTE bands: 2, 4, 5, and 17 primarily. The Verizon G4 doesn't have band 17. so you are not going to get very good coverage in buildings or at far distances from the tower.

I didn't but I think cricket did it remotely when I put the SIM card in, how do I check? Also is it possible to unlock band 17? I've seen posts here and there talking about unlocking different bands on variants which don't have them unlocked by default. Thanks.

I know I had to put the APN settings in myself when using a T-Mobile SIM. I would Google "Cricket APN Settings" and then go to the settings on your phone (under more I believe), and edit the APN. You can't unlock band 17 unfortunately.

Yeah, why can't we unlock band 17? I tried using a few methods listed where you write to the NV ITEMS and enable all kinds of bands, but it still didn't work. I only got LTE when I force it via a hidden menu setting, but then I couldn't make or receive any calls. I get HSPA and HSPA+ but that's it and there's a constant icon in the notification bar of a white sim card with a question mark on it...!?

Because the phone doesn't support it. You can't unlock bands that the phone doesn't have to begin with.

Is there anything special to get calls to work on Cricket ? Updated APN settings for data but calls still did work.

When I tested with my Cricket SIM card calls just worked. I didn't have to do anything. However as you mentioned I had to manually update the APN to get data working.

That is odd. I wonder if I met someone at a Cricket wireless there if techs would help getting it working.

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?
