4G LTE & signal bars disappear about 30 seconds after powering on. What's wrong?



So I bought a Verizon Note 4 (Verizon sim from previous owner installed) and a Gear S from a person off craigslist for 0 total. I have not activated Verizon service yet, only using on WiFi for right now. The phone has been updated to the latest BOG5 firmware from Verizon, so looks like no root for me as well :(... Anyways...

...Is it normal for the phone to show 4G and a signal for about 30 seconds after powering on, then have no signal or LTE? Again, I have not activated the phone on Verizon yet, so keep that in mind.

I have checked the APN, and it seems I can't change or edit the Verizon APN. It is greyed out. It also seems it's incorrect. I'm wondering if this is why I get no signal at all.

Anybody have any ideas? I tried putting my metro PCS sim in it as well, and same result, no signal or LTE icon. Even added the correct APN for metro PCS and still nothing.

I also have a Verizon Samsung S6 Edge Plus that is not activated yet either, with a Verizon sim installed and it shows 4G and signal. Also, I can put my metro PCS in the Edge Plus and it works perfectly, without changing or doing anything.

Anyone have any idea as to why the Note 4 isn't working?
