I have trouble connecting to a certain website using the Straight Talk AT&T BYOP sim card on my Nexus 5. The website is Chatango and whenever I try to login into my account on LTE, I receive error message net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE using the Google Chrome web browser app. I also downloaded the Chatango mobile app from the Google Play Store and I receive the same error message. However, I only receive this error message when I'm on LTE or 3G. If I switch to Wifi, both the Chatango app and connecting to the site on Google Chrome works without any issues. I am running Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.
To troubleshoot this problem, I took an activated sim card directly from AT&T (not from Straight Talk) and put it in my phone and I was able to connect to the site without any error messages. I even took an activated sim card from T-Mobile and I was still able to connect to the site. It's only with the Straight Talk's AT&T mobile connection on LTE or 3G where I receive this problem. So I thought it would be a carrier issue with Straight Talk. I called their customer support and they claimed that they could not help me with the issue. They claimed that it is a "Google" problem and that there is nothing they can do, despite the fact that the site works on any other carrier that I tried it on and it works on Wifi. Can someone help me with this? I am also using the latest APN settings according to what is presented on Straight Talk's website.

I just bought a used Verizon LG G5 (VS987), however my carrier is AT&T. After putting in the Sim card, calling and texting works but when I go to turn on mobile data in the settings, I get a popup that says "Add Mobile Service Please contact Customer Service at (800) 922-0204 for assistance."
I have called both that customer service number for Verizon ^ and also AT&T. I made sure that my IMEI was updated on our AT&T plan, and I have the right APN settings put in. When I called Verizon, the guy didn't really have much to say except that the device is unlocked but full access to features can't be guaranteed, and I am aware that Verizon and AT&T use different wireless bands, which he explained, but I should be able to at least have some kind of data. We both agreed that this is just some piece of Verizon software keeping me from using data, and he suggested rooting the phone to get a workaround.
One suggestion that I saw in some forums and tried was that resetting the network settings in Backup and Reset does turn mobile data on by default, however I get the same Verizon popup as soon as I open any browser, and other apps just say there is no connection, although when I do this I can see that I am getting either HSPA or 4G data, it just seems like it's being blocked by this Verizon stuff. Messing around with other setttings such as Data roaming and System select didn't change anything.
Does anyone have any experience using a Verizon G5 on AT&T? I saw a video of someone demoing T-Mobile 4G data on the Verizon model, and another user on XDA said that he put in his T-Mobile sim and it worked perfectly. My best guess on where to go from here is to unlock and root, and see if I can install a custom rom to get around this. Does anyone know if there is a stock LG rom without all of the Verizon bloatware installed, maybe a stock rom for the unlocked model of the G5? Any suggestions on how to get this to work are appreciated, and I think this is posted in the right place, I'm an active reader on XDA but this is one of my first posts
Thanks to anyone that reads all of this!
Update: I reset the phone to factory settings and set it up with the sim card from AT&T in it. Since then I can turn on mobile data, and the notification bar shows I have data (mostly HSPA), however I have no connection when I try to load a webpage. Tomorrow morning i'll stop by the AT&T store and see if there's anything they can do.

Did you add the correct APNs for AT&T in the phone when you put in your sim? you need it for internet and MMS
Did you which it to Gobal or other option that is not LTE/CDMA?
Same problem here

Was your problem solved? I'm having the same problem with another Verizon LG Device. If it was solved, what did you do?
I set up the custom apn and data works fine and I'm able to receive picture messages but I can't send them. It always fails. Am I missing something? I'm using the at&t model and the straight talk sim card uses at$t towers
I got my phone unlocked and put on Verizon. As soon as I put my sim card in I see "searching for service" and can use data online but can't recieve calls or send/receive texts
Edit: Found out through trial and error I can send and recieve messages/call when roaming domestically. As for the "searching for service" that has changed to "preferred system"

mke sure it supports data may be on 4g and calls texts on 3g
Sprint phones are always finicky on other carriers.
check all the supported bands of the device and verizon in your area
Using verizon on sprint galaxy you need to change the firmware to the verizon one, i had that issue.
Search here or in youtobe and it will show you how to
Hello, so recently I bought a second samsung galaxy s7 (G930FD made in indonesia) I'm livin indonesia too. So, I have some problems. When i got the phone it had android 6.0. Everything worked fine, the sim, ussd codes, 3G internet. But status Phone is Custom, i can't upgrade via OTA and i trying upgrade via Odin
After that, i`ve upgraded to android 7.0 via Odin. I downloaded an official android for verizon s7 number PDA G930FXXS2DRAB, Now, with android 7.0, I've signal and strength but emergency call only, i can`t call any USSD codes (for example *200# that is the code for checking my sim balance). It just shows that it calls the ussd code and then says that the number is incorrect. Also, i can`t connect to the internet. I tried to find the Acces Point Names, but they are nowhere (like this function was deleted).
Also, in my settings app, i have 2 unknown options. T roaming and Service provider Giga LTE, KT twophone service and whenether i enter them, my settings app just crashes and it wants to restart it.
Please help me!
Have you tried connecting using 2G only if you can get to a place that sets the network? I had similar on my S4 and if I used dialer codes to force 2G it would connect, allow calls and allow EDGE data. I never resolved the issue but the best I could find out was the EFS/modem was corrupted or incorrect so it can't communicate on 4g.
This also happened after a 6.0.1 to 7.1.2 upgrade though I'm not sure it's the same as I don't think the S4 supported Nougat officially. I gave up when I went to a local phone shop who were apparently an authorised Samsung service centre but didn't have the tools to repair/replace the EFS (or anything else so it seemed).

Recently got a Phone as the titles says, Unlocked Docomo Samsung S4 SC-04E 14.1 lineage OS.
Installed my AT&T SIM from my troublesome OEM Samsung S4 i337 into the Lineage S4 and everything worked fine for about 10 days after setting it up and using it.
Then it suddenly stopped connecting to AT&T Mobile Data, so no email, no internet, but can still make/receive phone calls, and send/receive Text messages.
If connected to WiFi, everything is good with all functions.
When not connected to WiFi, the Mobile data Symbol is lit up and, it says AT&T, and every setting I look at, including dialing *#*#4636#*#* it shows AT&T as the network, but that's the one place it shows it is Not connected to data and the ping test fails.
Spent days and hours talking with AT&T Tech support and they couldn't get it to work, so they sent me a New SIM card, which did not help either.
I then went to an AT&T store and they could not fix it, so I tried numerous times using those "how to fix no Mobile data connection" with no results.
My thought is why was it working fine with Mobile data for so long, and then stop working.
Would this have something to do with the Lineage OS.
My other question/thought/last resort at this time, is how to clean reset the phone without losing the Original Lineage 14.1 settings, and start over by putting my SIM card in to see if it Connects to Mobile data on it's own like it did originally.
Any help is appreciated.
