Hey Guys..
My LG G6 of sprint is unlocked.. tested with att... call and text works fine.. but data does not.
I cannot edit or add APN as its grayed out in settings..
I tried ##DATA# and there it does not give me any option to edit delete or add ... just gives reset to default for APN Settings and nothing happens....

Please help

Its a problem after unlock via boxes. No one boxes has solution for this. Upload data is not working yet.

It worked for me but with some changes in the procedure. When you're done with changing the property, u do get the option to edit and change apn in the settings but internet connection would still be unavailable. So I took another Android phone at home on the same network as mine and copies the other information there into my phone. The information I'm talking of us the apn type, apn authentication and those info you find on the apn edit screen and it worked. I've been online since. So u can try it.

Try using QuickShortcutMaker, search for hidden, tap Service Programu, then IOT Hidden Menu, then tap Try, LTE setting, APN Setting. Long press the square button to access menu, and add a new APN. I added dun to APN type under intenet to enable tethering. You might need to enable UICC Unlock. Hope this helps.
Tried this says permission denied. Any ideas?

Okay, I believe I found another way to edit/add APN. Use QuickShortcutMaker, search for "Setting Util", hit try, then tap "Change PROPERTIES" set it to match your operator and/or country, or try a GSM carrier, and hit confirm. Go to settings, more, and APN menu should now be accessible. You can now add your APN. Don't forget to hit save cause once your phone reboots it will lockup again, but your APN settings should stay.

Also, you will need MSL, as you have to set MMSC in the ##DATA# dialer menu, delete the IP and Port fields, or you will not get proper multimedia messages. Once done your phone will reboot.

I tried this with both a Sprint and T-Mobile SIM in the phone, if your APN setting doesn't match your SIM it will not be visible, but it will save. Also if you have not changed your network to LAB in the IOT hidden menu prior to ZVB, I believe you will get the annoying Sprint hands free activation message.
So i tried this and managed to get to the APN menu (thank you by the way) but I am still unable so save and select an apn. I tap add new apn and enter all settings but when i tap save, the apn saves but then isnt visible to select. like it disappears. also below is a message that reads.. "Unable to view the access point names settings. Access is restricted for the current user profile".

Is there a way to edit the "user profile"? Maybe change its permissions?
