APN: internet
Proxy: wap.metropcs.net:3128
Port: 3128
UserName: Phone#@mymetropcs.com
Password: MSL code*
Server: wap.metropcs.net
MMSC: http://mms.metropcs.net:3128/mmsc
MMS Proxy: wap.metropcs.net
MMS Port: 3128
MCC: 310
MNC: 004
APN Type: MMS

"master subsidy lock" The MSL code is generated by an algorithm based upon the phone’s ESN and the specific carrier who originally sold the phone. If you dont know yours you can get it with this method:

1. Go to settings/about phone/Status and write down your MEID_DEC number.<LI sizset="232" sizcache06010726080668953="4">Go to android market and download MEID Converter https://market.android.com/details?id=com.splicedmedia.android.meidconverter
2. Open MEID Converter and enter your MEID_DEC number and press calculate.
3. Read where it says MetroPCS SPC and write down these numbers in a safe place. (on the inside of your battery cover and on paper in your wallet). This is the SPC/MSL code for your phone.

OK, did all that and the end result is...got data working but no 4G

now that is interesting.... hermm... hows your phone setup (rooted, unlocked, flashed from another carrier, etc.)

also, what do you mean no 4g? (no 4g symbol, or no 4g speed?)

Yeah, I thought it a bit weird, rooted and no 4G symbol, checked speed on EV and just over 1Mb per sec, normally I get up to 2-3Mbp/s on 4G

I think you're better off posting this in the MetroPCS section than here in the LG Motion section.
