The LG G2 is a smartphone that supports manual network selection on AT&T networks, allowing users to choose their preferred network operator manually when automatic selection is unavailable or when roaming. This feature is useful for optimizing connectivity, reducing roaming charges, and troubleshooting network issues. Below are key sections for network setup, features, configuration, and troubleshooting specific to AT&T networks.
Manual network selection allows you to choose a specific mobile network operator (e.g., AT&T) instead of relying on automatic selection. This is beneficial in areas with weak signals, during roaming, or to avoid unwanted network connections.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Automatic Mode | Phone automatically selects the strongest available network |
| Manual Mode | User selects a specific network from available options |
| AT&T Network ID | 310-410 (Primary AT&T network codes) |
| Roaming Support | Allows manual selection of partner networks when roaming |
| Network Search | Scans for all available networks in the area |
To access network selection settings on your LG G2:
Note: Ensure your SIM card is inserted and activated for AT&T service.
Follow these steps to manually select AT&T or another network:
Tip: If AT&T is not listed, ensure you are in an area with AT&T coverage.
When roaming, manual network selection helps control connectivity and costs:
Warning: Roaming charges may apply; check with AT&T for international plans.
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Corrective Action |
|---|---|---|
| No network found | Poor signal/SIM issue | Move to area with better coverage; reinsert SIM; restart phone. |
| Cannot select AT&T | Network locked/out of coverage | Ensure phone is unlocked for AT&T; check coverage map. |
| Registration failed | APN settings | Verify APN settings (Settings > Networks > Access Point Names). |
| Roaming not working | Roaming disabled | Enable Data Roaming in Mobile Networks settings. |
| Frequent drops | Network congestion | Switch to manual mode and select a less congested network. |
If manual selection causes issues, reset network settings:
