I’m in the U.K. and recently bought a secondhand LG G7 smart phone that has been unlocked from T-Mobile. Since it’s now unlocked I put in my 3 mobile sim and I am able to make phone calls but I cannot go on the internet even though data is enabled. I then get APN details from 3 mobile to enter and I save the new APN and restart the phone but I am still not able to get on the internet on the phone. Please advise.

Did you ensure the APN for Virgin was setup correctly?

+itsbighead thanks, but I'm little green with APN settings , and not sure where to look
I recently bought a used LG-G3 from Korea. The phone has LG U+ logo on the back panel and also the same is being displayed while booting up. So I suppose the device is from the operator - LG U+. The person who sold this to me said it is unlocked and he has used it with the operator KT. I came home without testing (my bad) just to find out that it doesn't detect the network on my Olleh SIM card. How do I check that this phone is really not locked on to a network? I won't be able to check the phone with another SIM card with another operator as I don't know anyone using a network other than Olleh. I also noticed that the code 2945#*400# (my model is LG-G3-400L) doesn't yield any result while I enter it on the dialpad. Neither does *06# works. But I can see the IMEI from settings as well as from the back panel (beneath the battery). The phone is able to search the available networks, but unable to register. I will be leaving for India in a few weeks and would like to know if this phone would detect the network in India? Any help?
I don't know if I am supposed to ask such a question on this forum. If not, please close.
Trying to Configure Note10+ 5G (N976V) with Visible but can not add APNs. The option is Greyed out. I was able to do it with my Verizon S10 that is also not officially supported. Crazy thing is that for about 5 min i was able to use the Visible SIM in my Note and Call and Send Txt until I rebooted the Phone. The Phone is paid off and Im using it on Mint Mobile now but it doesnt Show the T-Mo Boot Logo when I switched SIMs like my S10 Did. Has anyone been able to get this to work. I was told by Samsung that I may need to Reflash the Phone.
i have the regular unlocked note10+ working on visible.
N976V on Visible.
I am having the same issue, the APN settings are disabled. If you get this resolved before I can figure out a work around please let me know. Thank you.

Did you work it out? if yes, can you share how?
As soon as someone has resolved this issue, please update this forum page!
I just upgraded my note 8(on Visible) to the note 10 plus 5g. After i put in the Visible sim card into my note 10 phone, the phone was not working with the Visible sim card. I was connected onto the wifi network at work and I went into the settings to update the APN information, but it was greyed out and could not enter that information into the phone. After a few hours of googling to see if I could fixed the greyed out APN area so that I could actually enter in the programming, I said let me check the phone outside with wifi turned off. I went outside and tried to place a call and the call connected. I was then able to get wifi calling turned on since the phone was not allowing me to do so before. I went back into work and tried to place a call on the wifi network and it worked. I also tried sending text messages and mms messages and they all work. I checked the settings under the APN area and the phone automatically populated the Visible Internet setting but it was also greyed out, but it was working and I was so happy. I am so happy now with my new galaxy note 10 5g phone that is up and fully working with the Visible sim card. So I believe that having the phone connect onto the cell tower signal and not the wifi allowed the phone to pull in the APN information that it needed. I also reset via the setting the network connections while I was outside a few times. Hopes that this helps...
Change CSC with SamFw Tool (don't brick your device!!!)
Don't update beyond U4
Unlock bootloader and root.
Modify everything.
Accuse Samsung of being stupid for ever creating such a product with such limitations.
Hi all,
I recently switched from T Mobile to Mint, but for some reason the phone won't connect to Mint network. The only way I could get it to register with Mint network is if I login to Mint website or use their mobile app to disable wifi calling then re-enable it. This method only works when I'm home, but if I restart the phone or if it loses connection, it just will not connect again until I disable wifi calling and reenable it through their app. But the same trick does not work when I'm at work. I'm not sure what the difference between the towers where I live and those where I work. Basically, when I try to register manually or automatically, I get unable to connect to the network at this time and to try again. Even if the phone isn't registered with Mint network, I can still make and receive calls through Wifi Calling though.
The phone worked fine when I had T Mobile. I also have LG G8X and the same sim works fine with Mint.
My phone is Sprint LG G8 G820UM20f cross flashed with US Open NAO firmware. Again, the phone worked perfectly fine with T Mobile before I switch to Mint.
I prefer using the G8 instead of the G8X as I like the smaller size and better screen. Any suggestions on what I should try here before I try reset the phone to factory settings or flash with another firmware? I already tried deleting cache, reset network, safe mode, using T Mobile APN instead of Mint.
I should also mention that T Mobile sim uses MNC 260 and Mint Mobile 240. I'm wondering if this has something to do with it not being able to connect to certain T Mobile towers, but according to what I read sim using 240 MNC should be able to connect to cell towers using MNC 260.
Thank you
Did a factory reset of the phone through the recovery menu, but unfortunately phone still won't register with Mint network.
Cross flashed from US Open NAO firmware G820QM20f_00_NAO_US_OP_0402 to USC (US Cellular) firmware G820UM20j_00_USC_US_OP_0607 but same thing... still refuses to register with Mint network. There is also no Wifi calling option in Settings menu with USC firmware and the hidden menu also shows it's not provisioned for wifi calling.
I'm going to flash it with G820UM20j_00_OPEN_CA_OP_0120 next and see if I have any luck.
So sad Still no luck with Canada firmware. CA firmware is even more minimal than US Cellular... no VoLTE or Wifi calling. Also no matter what firmwares, T Mobile APN always show up under APN. Which partition have this info saved under?
I'm wondering if I should try flashing it with Verizon Android 11?
I cross flashed with T Mobile G820TM20j_00_TMO_US_OP_0216.kdz firmware, but no luck still. The phone with this firmware should work great if you have T Mobile as you can see from the attached pictures, all three options... Wifi calling, VolTE, and Video Calling now show provisioned in hidden menu *#*#4636#*#*. With the US Open NAO firmware, only Wifi Calling and VoLTE would be provisioned.
I might switch back TMobile again after my 6 months plan with Mint ended just to avoid this headache.
Note: I followed this guide written by @netmsm here:

Hi there ;) Thanks to all other guys here who have made helpful development to tame this beautiful =) To crossflash models other than LG G8 please read post 3. Before asking any question please read the troubleshooting section at the bottom of...

I use mint and my apn settings are for 310 / 260. My G8 is xflashed to us open also. Works perfect. Sounds like u might have messed up apn settings.

Thank you for confirming that it works with Mint. I contacted their online tech support twice and they basically said my G8 is not compatible with their system based on my IMEI number. Their compatibility checks also said the same thing for my G8X, though it works perfectly fine with their network.
Anyway, your confirmation gave me an idea to try another sim they sent me for the 12 months plan. I originally purchased the 12 months plan but canceled it and purchased their 3 months + 3 months free plan. Even though I canceled the 12 months plan, they still sent me the sim kit.
The sim that comes with the 12 months plan happened to be using 260 MNC so I put it in, and it registered with their network instantly. I'll try and see if I can transfer the plan over to this sim.
Not sure why the G8 has problem using sim with 240 MNC, but not the G8X.
Unfortunately, the 260 MNC sim can't be used as replacement sim to transfer the plan over, so they sent me a new one.
The new replacement sim also uses 240 MNC, but what is weird is that before activating the new sim, my LG G8 had no problem registering with Mint network and it connected as 4G LTE. I rebooted the phone multiple times just to make sure it works consistently and wasn't just a fluke. But as soon as I went through the process of activating the sim to transfer the number over, it wouldn't register with the network again and only allows emergency call just like the old sim. Of course, the new sim works fine in the G8X.
I'm not sure what to makes of this now. I'm wondering if sim using MNC 260 would have the same problem once activated. At this point I guess I just have to use my G8X and once the 6 months ended, I'll probably switch to T Mobile $15 plan even though you only get 2.5GB of data compared to 4GB for Mint.
