enable data on foreign sim? - Verizon LG G3

I put a Sim from Japan in the phone. It gives me voice and shows the 3g symbol but not the upload and download symbols. So I can make phone calls but cannot access data. Any ideas?

Can you try to use the search now option? I just tried it on my phone and it works fine. Also, check to make sure Network mode is set to GSM/WCDMA (AUTO MODE)
Additionally, go to settings manage applications. select menu button >> Filter >> Show all >> Call settings and select clear data.

Do you have access to a tmobile post paid sim, if so give it a try. I am not sure why it will not let u connect to the network, unless tmobile had you blocked somehow.

Had the same problem and this worked for me. Well, not exactly. Did the Setteings>Wireless and Network>Mobile Networks> Network Operators and pushed the "Select automatically" option instead. Post put me on the right track though. Thanks

I had this same issue. It was finally fixed with a new sim card. TMobile stated that there is a new sim card that fixes issues due to their new 3g+(4g) network. The sim would work fine on my older BB but wouldnt work on my Vibrant. They replaced the sim for free at the T-Mobile store and I have been fine since. I hope thats your same issue.

SUN cellular GPRS settings

I can't use mobile internet using Sun Cellular (I'm on plan 350), no 3g icon appears when I enable data traffic but I whenever I use a globe prepaid sim, 3g icon appears.
Tried calling SUN hotline, and they told me that I must go to the manufacturer of my phone.
I'm certain that the problem with my x10 since the same thing happened to me when using Globe prepaid sim but I replaced it and bought a new one and the 3G icon would appear.
Anybody experiencing the same problem?
do you have the correct apn settings? I'm not sure anymore what the supposed setting for sun is and if you really have to set it, i'm not in the Phil. anymore. but try putting in minternet or fbband.
Go here and download an Excel file of any phone setting and copy that to your APN... Or follow instruction on http://suncellular.com.ph/ecs_configure.php

[Q] My Atrix 4G does't connect to mobile internet

Hello,
I have an unlocked AT&T motorola atrix 4g mobilephone in Spain. If I put inside it a Vodafone SIM card I can connect to the internet (3G) without any problem after setting the APNs, but when I try it with a Euskaltel SIM card (an Spanish virtual mobile network provider that uses the Vodafones network) I can't connect to the internet (3G) even if I set the correct APNs.
The problem is not the SIM card because it works in a Nexus S after setting the APNs, and as I have said, the Atrix also connects to the internet with a Vodafone SIM card. But Euskaltel+Atrix doesn't work.
The wierd thing is that after I set the APNs, or activate the internet roaming, sometimes appears the arrows that it is connected but just for a few seconds and then dissapear, but even with the arrows if I open quickly the web browser it claims that doesn't have internet connection.
I have tried with other ROMs and the same thing happens, and also with an AOSP ROM like CM7 beta, there is no way to make it work.
Does any one have any kind of clue to solve this?
Regards and thank you

Try creating a new apn & call the first field "euskaltel" & the second one "internet", leave the rest as they are, click save & activate it. That worked for me a couple of months ago with a yoigo card.
It doesn't work, but thank you anyway

[Q] Not being able to get my data to work on my s4 SPH-L720

Hi guys,
This is my first post here, sorry if i make any mistakes with my english also.
Yesterday i bought an S4 SPH-L720, the Internet was working ok in 3g, (btw i live in Dominican republic and my carrier is Orange). i Decided to use the option to factory reset it , after that the phone just reads my sim card, but the Data does not work, i try to go to the mobile networks options, but the option to add the APN is not there, also the roaming network option is only in gray, just allowing me to change the settings or the guards. Wifi works fine, but if i turn it off so my sim tries to get the mobile data i get an error saying this: unable to establish a wireless data connection: lte : ESM - 33 EMM - x.
What should i do??
Please help me out with this.

Hi, i tried to do it as you suggested, the phone booted twice, gave me msg that it will reactivate, last thing that happens on second boot is a message saying that the firmware update is not available, then the network changed to CDMA, and it gives me the option to change the roaming network, but when i hit GSM, that option goes back to its gray state, also since that i get the message: Invalid sim Card, so that is not working now, and the data still doesnt work, any other advice?

hey, I have the same problem but my SIM works, have WIFI and I am in 4.3. Where you able to fix the "unable to establish a wireless data connection: lte : ESM - 33 EMM - x."???
This is an apn issue. Call orange (the provider) and ask for your apn settings

Go to settings / about / status / sim card status / sim card status and check of you are running LTA.
If not go to general management / reset / reset network settings. This fixed my problem.

[Q] LTE but not phone calls

Hi !
Recently I bought this LG but I have this problem:
I put my sim on it and can use LTE , download stuff , facebook, whatsapp and everything connected w / internet , but I can not make or receive phone calls or sms . When I dial a number that says " network number not avaible ."
I've tried with another simcard and moved to Cm11 and CM12 but without effect.
Can anyone help ? :crying:
Sorry for the bad english
You can't make or receive calls when only LTE is enabled. LTE frequency doesn't support calls. You should try dialing *#*#4636#*#* and then select the first one. Scroll down a bit and then select the network type: LTE/GSM/WCDMA. I have this selected and everytime someone calls, phone automatically switches from LTE to WCDMA/3G. After the call it turns automatically back to LTE.

Where did you get the SIM from?
Were you ever able to do calls with that SIM in any other phone?
Maybe it is a data only SIM, like sold for tablets or laptops.
I would try it with a different SIM card.

Nope, I never could text or make phone calls,and the problem isn't the SIM because right now it's in other phone and works fine.
Same problem with mine, 3G/2G data is working fine but the phone won't let me do a call ("no network" available). This happened on the kitkat rom, and since that I upgraded to the official Lollipop rom (through OTA) bu the problem remain the same...
The strange thing is that the phone just came from repair (the touch screen stopped to work without no reason... ), hoppefully it was under waranty... but now the waranty is over so I don't know what to do except maybe putting this phone on a trash, but it would be a such waste...
If anyone have an idea about the problem, it is hightly welcomed!
