I have metro pcs and when I inserted my Sim card in got nothing, is there another step I need to take? Anyone's have this problem or a possible solution ?
Have you guys tried the T-mobile apn settings? I'm currently running on walmart Family plan with T-mobile apn. But I've had my on metro. Also with the T-mobile apn settings.
I just called metro gave them the imei number put the sim card in the phone and and it worked
Works just fine for me on Ghettro PCS
Call metro with imei
With metro pcs you have to call them and give them the imei number, that's the only way it will work,no matter if it's a metro phone or unlock phone you ever got to take it to the store so they can activate it or call them and give them the imei.if you put the sim in with out doing one of the 2 nothing will happen..but yes the Verizon s6 edge plus do work on Metro,using metro on one now..all Verizon phones or tablets come unlock and will work on any network...
Took my SM-G20v to metro store twice .... first time the young woman who helped my wife swap out device clearly had no idea what she was doing lol because the phone could only make calls and receive txt msgs upon sim swap out. Took phone back a few days later and Reworked the APN settings from Verizon.Internet to metro.fast and now am fully functioning on Verizon s6

i have an unlimited prepay t mobile data plan i use to mess with various gsm htc phones. i picked meself up a t mobile 3g flyer,fired it up,and while it looks like 3g and 4g are working,little arrows and all,data is not really working.
ive tried adding a different APN,and flashed leedroids HC with phone enabled rom in efforts to get it working.
im assuming that t mobile somehow knows i have a phone data plan,and as such is not letting the data work correctly.
i can make phone calls and send sms just fine. but no data.
question is simply,anyone know of a way to make this work??
thanks for any info
Did you get it from T-Mobile or is it an unlocked international unit? If you got it from T-Mobile, you may have to get the MSL to unlock the system first.
I do the exact same thing with an international unit and a T-mobile prepaid SIM card and my data work great. I'm on the $3/day of usage plan, as I normally have either wifi access or my phone has a 4g connection and I can tether the 2 via wifi.
thanks for the reply. any idea how to get the flyer into diag mode? i found !!3424! on the calculator works for the view,but its not working on the flyer
it is a t mobile branded device,so if i can figure out how to get into diag ill give this a shot
update: i still cant figure out a way to get to the diagnostic menu to find the msl and unlock. i believe the t mo flyer is not subsidy locked,as when i put my vzw lte sim into it,it does not prompt me to enter an unlock code.
i dont know if the difference here is the fact that youve got an unbranded international unit,or the fact that youre on the $3/day prepay. i called t mo and played dumb,and eventually they confirmed that i would need an internet "broadband" plan,wich would make the sim card not work in phones,and be more expensive
hoping maybe the $3 prepay plan maybe is what is letting it work,i ordered another sim that i plan to activate with the same
failing that,i guess i need to either sell this one and find a international unit,or find a way to make the t mobile unit "look" like the international one to t mobile.

got my sim,set up the $3 prepay,still no go. is there a way to make the t mobile branded device look like an international unlocked version?
it is from us cellular if you ask me its the s3 mini anyways itsa cdma phone that has a sim slot which has a card in it for us ceullar. now im confused the phone specs say its cdma only but with a sim card that makes me t hink its gsm global(locked to any us gsm providers im sure) and cdma so I would assume it will work with say cricket wireless.
I am leaving u ceulluar and would like to use the phone with c ricket wireless and being its a cdma phone im surei could it is just that sim card confused me.
I know on phone in past cricket can take your imei i think it is and use a tool over the phone to convert it to propperly work on their network.
So basically anyone know if this phone can be used with cricket? is it locked? do I ahve to flash it. if the gsm part is locked that wont matter since i will only be ising the cdma part. here is the link to the phone on us cellular
http://www.uscellular.com/uscellula...tandard&device-category=device-category-phone
Edited: The sim card has your programing for CDMA & 4g/LTE access. Just took mine out and it has zero service without it. I would guess as long as you put it in another compatible phone you would get service.
Hoping someone will figure out a simple rooting method, but doesn't appear there is a lot of interest yet.

Thanks but nah not what I was wanting, i wanted to be able to use the phone on cricket but since they dont use sim cards since their phones are cdma was why I was confused that this one has a card since usually only GSM phones use those. so im guessing I wont be able to use it on their network if they added it..I know they can convert certain imei's over the phone with a tool they ahve with cricket support but have not tried that yet.

So, just wondering, would the Samsung Axiom work on T-Mobile or AT&T ?
yes and no
The R830 by U.S cellular is a CDMA phone. now ah days having a sim card slot does not symply mean its GSM ....TMobile....GSM ALL DAY. ATT GSM all day. Vzw,sprint, uscellular...CDMA. the Sim card in question is a 4glite. it controls the 4g side and basically activates the phone upon new activation. the question is: WELL THIS PHONE WORK ON CRICKET? Answer...yes...I put one on Pageplus by just activatiing the imei and then OTA...but I'm having trouble with the DAta side... cant get data or MMS (picture messaging) to work..talk and texts works fine.....Now im on to figuring out how to get this thing into DiagMode without rooting it Oh yeah.....try activating your Imei on cricket and then star code it. . if it asks you to press 1 or 2 but you dont see a keyboard,....thats okay...just let the lady run her mouth until the music starts playing....when its done the phone will restart and you'll have talk and text

No, your phone will not work on either. The sim slot in question is for 4glte, all 4g phones will have this sim slot. A GSM sim will not provide any functionality at all.

Was anyone got success in enabling the data ???
Flashed pa 4.4 suppose to work on the metro PCS mega .Cause it was claimed in that thread that international mega Roms work on this phone
Flashed fine works great but NO DATA
No LTE no 3g even when I choose any T-Mobile APN settings .
Is there a ROM that does work .
I can't restore my backup either

you need to select Metro PCS at the top, not T-Mobile. Metro PCS sim cards are locked to Metro's network.
why can't you restore your backup? I posted a clean stock backup in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2572643
No that's not how metro works
I work for them..
the apn settings you choose have nothing to do with being carrier locked .
Apn settings pull data from whatever tower are being used on that carrier in which metro pcs uses tmobile gsm towers now Since we merged The metro s4 Mega lg f3,lg f6 etc...
Almost 90% there phones use T-Mobile towers since 90% of the phones now use T-Mobile gsm signal and gsm sim cards .
Trust me any T-Mobile APN works on metro gsm phones as well as the metro Pcs apn setting
The issue is I believe elsewhere in the ROM.
But one guy mentioned re add the APN manually don't use the ones that are pretty configured upon first boot up .
Anyways cm11 worked great upon boot up ....but paranoid android 4.4 and aokp 4.4 no dice .

BTW thanks I did use your clean backup method extracted in twrp backups.. So now I have a clean backup .:thumbup:
But I've also concluded cm11 ROM is nicer .
Plus I get free tether you probably know that
If your using cm11,
As I posted a little Info Guide in general section .
I've concluded that the Easiest way to bypass metros tether block on the 60$ plan is to Use an aokp cm11 ROM .
It simply doesn't have the metro bloat which means its free of the pesty upsell apk that blocks tethering unless provisioned.
People try day In and out to get tethering to work on metros galaxys on the 60$ plan .Even trevemod doesn't work only on metros s3 so far I've seen
:thumbdown: downside is that Doesn't work on stock shipped firmware .

dude You are wrong. sorry to tell you. I use both PA and aokp on the Mega they work fine. You just have to manually set them to Metro's network. But hey, I'm not going to argue with you. do what you think. :good:
No im far from wrong nor will i argue with you ...if you understand my response and read into its meaning.
You'll clearly see I said that Currently on metros network using any of there gsm phones you can use T-Mobile APN settings . You don't have to use metro APN settings PERIOD.
This is because metro now uses T-Mobile network .There remaining CDMA phones use tmobil towers .There current gsm lineup which is 90% of there inventory uses Tmobile towers which is fast.tmobile.com that's the same thing as fast.metropcs.com more less
To explain to you your confusion about carrier locked vs APN locked
The metro PCs sim card mess you mention is nothing more than being Sim carrier locked duh..... we all know what carrier locked is . Not APN locked wtf..if apn settings were locked down to a carrier How come we T-Mobile and att users have been adding each others apns on each others CARRIER UNLOCKED DEVICES for years now .
Million to 1, someone here is gonna say Yup he's right .

Metro locks down their sim card. they have their own apn settings. Even though they are now part of T-mobile they still use their own APN. Have a great christmas if you celebrate it.
Hi, I have an LG V10 that I purchased from TMOBILE. I switched to AT&T, and brought my T-Mobile device with me. Everything works fine, but I cannot get 4G LTE service at all. I have tried 2 APN settings, and that does not help. I live in a large metropolitan area, and I know that 4G is available here with AT&T. Does anybody have any idea why I can only get 4G and not 4G LTE?
Thanks!
This happened to me when flashing a custom Rom, the fix for me was to change the network speed to 3g or 2g then keep changing Ap's until you see you are connected to a network. Once you see that you are connected, change it back to 4gLTE. Let me know if this worked for you.
This is the APN I use and got LTE to work. It's old APN but it works for me.
Name-LTE
APN-phone
proxy, port, username, password-Not set
MMSC-http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS proxy-proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port-8080 (In order for MMS to work with adblock plus, I use 8080 instead of 80 because using port 80 will cause the MMS not to work)
MCC-310
MNC-410
Authentication type-Not set
APN type-default,mms,supl,hipri (hipri is what makes LTE to work. Without using "hipri" I only get 4G, not LTE. No need to use "fota". It is for tablets)
APN protocol-IPv4
If changing to this APN setting and you still don't get LTE, reboot the phone.

Wow, i was thinking i was the only one with this wierd problem, i had a lg g3 tmobile with this issue, when i was on wifi for large periods and the back to data, the 4g lte appears like it was working fine, but it never gave me access to inteternet, then i had to revert to 3g or 2g, and when it connects and works, i revert back to 4g lte and works fine, until i get wifi, and the same all over again, but this only happen to me with lg on tmobile, i had htc, samsung and this problem does not seems to happens with that brands, so i tougth it was the lg g3 itself and i sell it, but now i get a brand new v10 with tmobile and the problem is still the same, and i don´t find anything on the internet about it, until i see this post, do you know why is this happen? im on mexico, and i use my phones whit telcel
Have you tried apn unlcok?
Diag 277634#*# and look for the "APN UNLOCK" option

when i hit the apn unlock option appears a message that tells me: "apn has been unlocked" or something like that, but the phone stills the same, do i have to do something else besides manually enter apn settings from my operator?
A word of advice I have an unlocked t-mobile lg v10 and I have had the same issue as you and believe me I tried every possible fix and nothing worked until I tried this fix ( put your sim card in another AT&T device in my case my girlfriend has an AT&T iphone 6 and leave it for a minute or 2 once you see the 4G LTE on that device remove it and put it back into your phone and you will have the 4G LTE all the time, of course you need to set up your apn but like I said I spent a whole month and tried everything before I came to that fix because nothing else worked) I hope that would help you.
I totally switched iphone 6 SIM on unlocked LG v10 ,,,but i saw LTE for 5sec and then back to 4G ...
Don't know if it will work ..
Just a network access problem, you should save yourself some time and just.... Call AT&T customer support?
Or hit the AT&T V10 forums for correct APNs. I'm sure you aren't the first person to deal with this issue.
Yes u can have 4G LTE ...just activate with a AT&T 4G LTE IMEI

i have the same senario...recently moved to AT&T with the UNLOCKED Tmobile LG V10 and every thing works just fine with AT&T SIM except no 4G LTE and when you asked At&T they will try to convince you to buy their device to get 4G LTE signal....it took me a while to figure it out that u can get 4G LTE on an unlocked LG V10 if u activate the service with any AT&T 4G LTE capable device IMEI..... One more thing.. u are on your own to provide the LTE capable IMEI to customer service. That means don't except to walk in to AT&T store and borrow the IMEI from their display unit..coz they wont let u do that.....
The T-mobile phones pick up perfectly on ATT, it's most likely an APN related issue.
I have an lg k8+ model x210ulm that i want to use with cricket. The phone is fully unlocked and will accept any sim from any carrier but has an odd behaviour that wont let me use my own sim.
I bought a feesh sim from cricket and when i put it in and set it up it will register with crickets apn and mobile network settibg. I get data and it shows up in the about network as connected and working. It shows cricket carrier in notificstion and i can get texts and even voice mail. But ........
I cannot use the dialer. Upon connection there is no error toast or anything it just imnedistely hangs up.
I can use my wifes my sons or my friends sims in the phone and after a reboot works perfectly. But when i put mine in it stops.
Also my sim works fine in any other unlocked device or cricket device.
Any clue as to wth is going on
Ok so after talking to lg and really that was frustrating. Why because the rep told me it the phone was carrier locked to us cellular which i knew it wasnt because its advertised as being unlocked and well us cellular put up an advert a few years ago stating that all thier phones are unlocked.
So after that i went ahead and talked to a rep at us cellular who assured me it was unlocked and checked the imei for me and sent me link to the advert about thier phones being unlocked.
Back to lg and got another rep this time who knew a lil about something but not much. Could not tell me any thing though.
Now back to cricket where we tested my girlfriends sim in my phone to which it worked and mine in her phone to which it worked. We put the sims in my aristo 2 and fortune 2 and both sims worked. But when i put my sim back in my my k8+(2018) once again every thing works fine but you cannot make or recieve phone calls.
We also tested the voice mail app and and thier what qualifies as a carrier app and it registers. The sim registers in about phone shows service and is connected. Shows the phone number every thing works.
Just not the phone Dialer app
So is there any one out there at all that has had an issue like this before. Any one that can help me figure out what the problem is. This is so crazy that my sim wont work and every one elses will.
Could it be something i did using dialer codes? Any cLues at akl
So here we are months later and im still having sim issues with my k8+ ulm. I ended up buying a brand new device and i tried my provisioned sim card with it not working but literally every other sim card works fine.
I have switched from cricket to assist wireless now who is run or what ever by sprint and i can get the sim card to work for a couple days before switching it to another phone but the main issue is that i get a error popup stating that the sim card has locked and that i need to power cycle and call customer service.
But i made a ton of changes by adding all the system apps from sprint including sprinthiddenmenu and any other apk that was on the tribute dynasty they came from. I also went through the file system and made any prop changes or any thing else that was needed to enable sprint.
At this point id flash a sprint modem but i cant find a cv1 device provisioned under sprint
