Hey everyone i had to edit my APN after a factory reset. Now the carrier setup notification won't go away. I'm using straight talk and have service and data. Is there a way to make the notification go away. I had to swap my Verizon straight talk sim with my at&t Sim to edit the APN then switch it back to my main one. I'm using a Verizon pixel in case that's helpful. Thanks!
I have the same issue with my pixel, after using a verizon sim to modify the APN settings. Data and voice work successfully but the carrier setup notification will not go away.

I ended up going to the settings on the notification and was able to make it not appear in it's settings. I don't know if it's the best fix but it hasn't popped back up since then.

I have an unlocked US Cellular Galaxy S6 and I use my Straight Talk sim card (running off AT&T towers) and calls and texts work but there's no option anywhere in settings to enter apn settings. I bypassed this using an app but I would like to know a fix and not just a work around. I'm VERY familiar with Androids and I've never encountered this issue and searching hasn't led me to any answers.
Anyone? I also keep getting a + symbol with incoming calls and its annoying
Anything? Lol

There's a thread over at teamuscellular.com. it involves getting into the service menu. I used a USC S6 on TMO for a while. Also maybe a csc edit to show the default apns, and you'll just edit it and it'll stick. It's been a while...I'm just trying to point you in the right direction.
I got my ST SIM activated yesterday and LTE connected without having to make any APN changes.
I can receive incoming text messages. Incoming calls go straight to voicemail, and I receive a notification for them but cannot retrieve.
Outgoing calls /messages result in 'no mobile network' error, including dialpad codes.
Have had six different sessions with Straight Talk, whose solution, depending upon the CSR, has been to change the APN, restart phone/pull sim/battery, factory reset, wait for activation, etc.
At one point, Verizon Wireless briefly appeared as the carrier but LTE stopped working.
Any suggestions? I have done all of the above, along with installing several different ROMS, restoring earlier backups, etc.
I have searched and found a lot of posts regarding issues with data, but can't find anything relating to my particular issue.
I am currently on CM13 Nightlies. The phone is not under contract and I have used it with other BYOP carriers with no issues.
Thanks!

I was helping someone else out with that recently. I found that both on CM12 and CM13 it doesn't give you the option to change the APN settings.

I am actually able to change the APN settings by selecting the APN, editing it, and saving it from the menu pull-down. In a few of the ROMS I tried, I needed to put in the updated APN of TRACFONE.VZWENTP. (I laugh every time I type it.. VZ went P heh)
Anyway, in some ROMS it works with the assigned APN and in others I have to put in the updated one for LTE to work. The APN is for internet and MMS, both of which are working at the moment. I need to figure out how to get calls and outbound SMS working.

What carrier are you on? Straight talk? There is an app for it in the play store

Yes, I just got the Straight Talk SIM and network code and activated it a few days ago. I looked for the apps but could only find one for account management and auto-APN settings.
I was using a prepaid T-Mobile sim in this phone prior, and had to use an older modem to get data (only got edge since it's GSM on a CDMA phone) working. I am currently installing a newer modem to see if that will help.

Yeah that's the one I saw. I installed it just in case, but it only changes the APN settings, which I have already tried. Thanks though!
Not a problem. Sorry I couldn't be of more help

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?
Hi guys,
I've been running the stock rom (6.0.1) with RingPlus for about 4 months now, and just got word that they were discontinuing service. I canceled my service with them and have moved to Tello, which many of the users on RingPlus were saying was a painless switch. I've received my Tello phone number, and activation/provisioning instructions, which I've followed several times. I'm able to make and receive phone calls, but don't have 3g or LTE data.
From my experiences with Nexus devices and AT&T MVNO's my gut says it's an APN setting, but when I browse to the APN list the whole list is grayed out and unchecked, the add button is also grayed out.
Does anyone know how to open this up?
This issue is solved. I used a hidden menu (##3282#) to view my APN settings and they were being pulled from Tello. Later in the day my phone randomly did a prl update (several dozen had been done since posting this thread) and after that update everything worked. My best guess is that the line wasn't fully activated.
Hi Thunderbolt,
My phone is rooted and after putting in the MSL and dig down I have the same issue as APN Type and many other options are greyed out. I'm with Sprint. Looks like you haven't done anything and it automatically became available. What's Tello? Do I need to install any otger app to get the access? Thanks.
I'm on Stock TouchWiz Marshmallow on my S5 Sport G860P and my APN settings aren't greyed out, but they don't save when I add the proper APN for my FreedomPop SIM I received yesterday.
Is there a way to unlock this phone for free? I bought it on Ebay used and it has a clean ESN. I'm not the original owner so I don't have to Sprint account number and I may not be able to get it because it was purchased from a reseller.

What does it mean to use a hidden menu? And what is Tello? I am having this problem as well and would love to fix it. My issue is ultimately about not sending and receiving MMS consistently. But having the prn menu grayed out isn't helping my efforts to fix it.
Thanks!

Open dialer Punch in ##3282# this brings up the hidden menu for a lot of things.. Choose edit, and if it ask for you MSL enter it, then go to apn settings and you can add one, it should not be greyed out.
I have a carrier unlocked AT&T One A9 with the bootloader unlocked and use a T-Mobile SIM card. Calling and SMS work just fine, but I can't use my mobile data or MMS. I figured out that this is because my APN settings were not properly configured, so I decided to punch in the T-Mobile APN settings. (Just to point out, the screen where all the APN settings should show up just says "APN settings not available for this user") There's a little floating notification that says "APN settings saved" but the screen remains unchanged, without my APN settings. I thought of S-OFF -ing it and flashing another ROM would help, but I can't come up with the $25 for a Sunshine license.

Not sure if you still need the info, but the reason the APN settings don't seem to save even though it says "Saved" is bc of some bug.
The way to to get it save is to click on the BACK button instead of clicking to save. So after you input your APN settings, DO NOT click the SAVE APN settings. Just click on your in-screen back button. Your APN settings should then be saved.
I updated my a9 sprint by using RUU side load, but my sim card is locked and i can't receive neither a call nor use data could you help me unlock my simcard pleasee
