LG G2 not working on Metro PCS

[nirbhad]

I bought an new unlocked AT&T version of the LG G2 so that I could run it on Metro PCS, but I am having one major problem with Metro. The phone is able to do everything fine on the Metro PCS network EXCEPT connect to mobile data. I have no clue what the problem might be. I read some threads on forums and some said to change the APN settings, but when I click on them in the menu nothing shows up at all.

I have gone to Metro PCS twice and they have been zero help at all and keep saying the phone might not be unlocked properly but I doubt it since most of them don't know what they are talking about half the time. I also inserted an AT&T sim card and the phone works perfect, mobile data is on and working great so I am not sure what is preventing the phone from connecting to the mobile network on Metro PCS. Any help will be appreciated please!

By right it should work unless metro did something special.

Go to a metroPCS store... they need to make sure your IMEI is in their system.
Also, you may need the Metro APN added to your device.

I had the same issue with my G2 but I had ported out from T-Mobile.

Even though you're now using a Metro plan.. keep using the ATT network.
Settings >> Tethering&Networks >> MobileNetworks >> NetworkOperators >> Search Networks

Then select the ATT Network.

For me the T-Mobile CDMA network works best. but you can try them all until you find the one that gives you the 4G icon.
