Tmobile Unlimited Internet (web2go)

I had to cancel my tzones plan yesterday since I switched contracts and got a new 9.99 unlimited web2go plan.
I changed the apn settings to internet2.voicestream.com.
It worked for approximately 6-10 hrs and now its giving me an error saying "cannot connect". been trying for last 4 hrs.
anybody else having problem......
Or
Am I doing something wrong in the apn settings?

What country are you in ?
I know it a minor detail and I'm just being picky but hey

call tmobile and find out..... tzones and web2go are both wap internet.... internet2.voicestream.com is usually associated with the higher internet plans as well as it is being replace with the new tmobile universal apn for higher end internet plans( epc.tmobile.com)
bottom line.... sounds like you have wap data plan and using an apn from a higher data plan

tzone and web2go is only offered in the US.
i am on tzone and would never give it up, if they take away my 2.99 internet i am switching to another carrier.
i am on epc.tmobile.com by the way since the day this apn become active.

Well I know for a fact that TMob have had a product called tzones outside the US.
Anyway, my point is wouldn't it have been clever to have mentioned what country you're in to start off with. This is an international forum after all.
Central America isn't Kansas people

Help with apn settings on ATT

I have gone though all the posts that I can find about the right apn setting for a GN on ATT.
I have tried the following.
1. The default, Cingular 410. This gets me somewhat connected. I connect, but pings are way hight and speed is 1 MB down and if I am luck 500 Kb up.
2. I have tried pta / phone. Seems to connect but I can not get online.
I went to a ATT store and had them make sure I was provisioned for a HSDPA+ plan, with I think is the smartphone plan.
This sim came from a Vivid. So it was provisioned for LTE.
Any suggestions on what steps I need to take to get a reliable connection on my GN. Dam I like this phone, but bringing an unlocked phone to ATT is a pain...
Thanks
Matt

You shouldnt have to setup anything. I popped in my att sim and all apn was automatically entered. Its a 5 year old sim.
What did you change?

My AT&T SGS2 (my Galaxy Nexus is T-Mobile) wasn't connecting to data although it had the correct APNs.
I called them and it turned out they needed to switch over the data plan to a "4G smartphone data plan" on their end (from a BlackBerry data plan that it had before). Your issue may be that you are still on the LTE plan. For the Galaxy Nexus, the correct plan would most likely be the 4G smartphone plan.
The APNs that I have on the SGS2:
Name: ATT PHONE
APN: Phone
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN type: internet
everything else is <Not set>
then I have a 2nd APN (which I guess is needed for MMS)
Name: ATT WAP
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN type: mms,supl
everything else is <Not set>
I have the ATT PHONE APN selected and everything works (including sending and receiving MMS) just fine.
Hope this helps

No go.
I went to ATT and had them put me on a LTE plan.
Still no data.
I added variations of the pta apn and it alway reverts back to the cingular apn.

From what I understand you do not want to be on a LTE plan as Gnex is not an LTE activated phone, this can cause spotty or zero coverage for data.
Make sure your on 4g smartphone data plan, maybe try a new sim card and then pop in these settings:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1149523.html
You should be good to then!
PS:
You only need the phone and mms apns!

That's right, the GSM Galaxy Nexus doesn't have LTE. I'm certain changing the data plan to the 4G smartphone plan (non-LTE) will fix OP's issue.

ATT won't put me on a 4g plan. They say the nexus is not reconized on the system and it defaults to a 3g plan.
They can not override it.
There only solution is for me to get another 4g phone that is att branded. Get 4g plan put on my account and then move that sim..
Dam, this sucks.

I read it called yesterday fought with them for an hour went to level 2 tech support finally got them to activate a matrix on my account by an imei I found on the internet *shhhhh they don't know that and had them reactivate my nexus. I gotta be honest though it did nothing for my speeds :/ but my plan is now data pro 2gigabytes for 4g smart phones!

Dam, this is just about the worst Nexus I have owned. I have tried all the US radios and the xx radios, but my connection just plain sucks.

I have done the IMEI changing thing and they gave me a plan that says:
"SMT Personal" on the bill" and when I go into manage my features it says: "Smartphone bundle: Data Plan for SmartPhones. Unlimited domestic data usage. Only available for upgrades. Requires customers to be on a "Gold List" SmartPhone Plan prior to upgrade to 4G device."
Is this the correct 4G (HSPA+) plan for those changing from an iPhone unlimited plan?

Do you have an unlimited data plan? If so, AT&T seems to be throttling people that still have the unlimited data plans.

Took my Yakjuzs to ATT (purchased in HK), they scanned the IMEI of the phone (behind battery) then put that in the system and gave me a new SIM, my old one was iPhone from about 2 years ago.
On Sunday AM when everyone is asleep I get upwards of 6 meg down and 1 up, just now got 2 down and .5 up.
So, it varies. I live in Orlando Fl area.
I got no special SIM, nothing out of the ordinary and it's fast enough for me. Is it LTE fast? No, but I chose the Nexus and with that the speed penalty.
It's the same speed as my old "4G" Motorola Atrix.

Sure I am on the right plan for data, 4g smartphone.
Using the 410 apn, I get great speeds, at night.
At 8am, I can't get online. Pings are so high, the phone is useless.
I have tried 4.0.4 and all the radios that are published.
Might be selling this dog.
While my Vivid is able to get online np and keep a connection. While the Nexus required multiple battery pulls, though out the day to get online.

Yeah and i ran the test right at 5pm rush hour sitting on the freeway parking lot. But some areas here do give crap network, just not that spot.

Some more help needed
So, I have an Vivid. I had ATT set me up for LTE. This works fine with my Vivid. Moving that sim to my GN and using the pta apn
While I do connect, I can't even run speed test.
I am somewhat lost on what plan on ATT I need and what apn I need on the GN for it work on HSDPA+ or 4G.
Any help and or suggestions??
Even using the default apn, cingular 401, my speeds and horrible. The phone is un usable.

Htc one x on tmobile - issues

Just switched from an hd2 a couple days ago so the android os is new to me. I do have a few issues in which tmobile is clueless and won't help with being that they don't sell the one x. It's the unlocked international version
1-Will not send or download pics in texts. Sending failed after multiple attempts on ul or general network failure on dl
2-one x does not recognize the newer tmobile micro sim. I've read that I need to find a tmobile store with the older version. Until then under mobile network settings it will say no sim card foud and all apn settings must be done manually
3- manually transfer 500 phone numbers
I'm hoping that solving #2 will also fix #1. After inputting apn I do have Internet. Anyone xperience this yet? Thanks guys

you will need to change the message centre for MMS messages for pictures in texts, like changing the APN.
backup your contacts from the hd2 onto your google account, then sync with the android phone

Any clue how to change the message settings?
Never had a google account with the hd2 but I'm opening one today.

best bet. find a tmobile store if you have one near you and take the phone and ask one of the members of staff there to help you out. best solution really.
or call the customer service line and go through your issues and surely they will help you out. as the poster above you probably need your sms and mms settings to be send so they are set up for you to send and receive.
regarding the sim card i am not sure. probably the new card needs activating. again speak to the carrrier for that.

Tmobile online support told me there's nothing he could do being that tmobile doesn't carry the one x. I called cs and she was cool. We went through and did the apn settings per tmobile but I still have the picture issue. Advance tech support said idk as well. They both said to try the sim issue and see what happens.
I'm sure someone else has had this issue right?

do you have your mobile data on when trying to send a picture message or receiving?

Message/service center number was already present in the phone and correct.
Data is turned on.
Just found the older micro sims locally. I'll report back in a couple hours

I'm extremely interested in seeing how things work out for you. I currently have a DX on Verizon but my contract is almost up and am planning on jumping ship for T-Mobile's $30/month unlimited data plan (and hopefully using a HOX)...
Is there anything I should know about doing this?

I bought a t mob sim in NYC a few weeks ago. They tried to get mobile networking and mms working for an hour or so then realized the phone was not compatible with their current network. Supposedly some areas have the proper band for it. Hope it works where you are at.

HTC One X on T-Mobile
Hi,i am on T-Mobile USA with HTC One X.Until U get older sim card(with 50.01)serial # U want be able to set EPN.Ned older Sim>after that phone will read card without any problem,but U only will have E speed no 4G.Anyway phone works grate and I use Wi-Fi all the time

Any chance the One X can be flashed to work on tmobile like the Skyrocket?

one x
I was going to buy a one x but tmobile tech support told me that the network band frequency's are different and the most i will get is 2G. I am about to call htc and will update with anythng

Correct. Edge aka 2g data is all you will get for now.
You see, T Mo USA uses their 1900 MHz PCS band exclusively for 2g traffic. 3g data (HSPA) and "4g" (HSPA+) is used in the 1700/2100 AWS bands.
T Mobile is reframing their 3g and HSPA+ to the 1900 MHz band and will have true 4g (4th generation) LTE on those 1700/2100 AWS frequencies (previously used for 3g).
I have the international One X on T Mobile USA and am patiently waiting for the network to modernize their infrastructure. Supposedly, between now and the end of the year.

any way either of you could get me a 50.01? say its for a friend and mail it out to me and ill cover mailing, and then i can activate it myself? or tell me where you got it from?
atvxda i love your sig and also, it makes me feel so comforted and not alone as i felt before now knowing that you also are waiting for the bands change.

My newer micro sim did not allow me to save the Tmobile apn . Switched it to my wife's older sim that I cut down to a micro for her iphone. Entered the T-Mobile APN hit the save button and of course it worked. I was then surprised when I switched my sim back in and it still worked. Had a few 50.01 SIMS ready but did not have to cut any down and call T-Mobile to switch them.

wow, thanks for that tip! i dont know about you guys but honestly, the s3 is better. i had this mindset that touchwiz is crap and the s3s physical home button is ****ty, super lcd is better than amoled and all that. but i bought my dad an s3 and i fell in love with it. it has much better battery life for a few reasons: touchwiz is light, useful, clean, and good looking. amoled has more true blacks, and the 2100 mah battery. moreover, just plop one in your wallet (on ebay for $3) and there is no way possible you could lose battery. removable back is also replaceable with a more stylish and secure back from ebay ($7). i mention that because i really liked the one x for its beautiful polycarbonate backing when really the s3 can have something even more sleek like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/40033322089...eName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 or this http://www.ebay.com/itm/28093857636...eName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

World Phone Opinions

Hey guys, just wanted to see what peoples experiences have been with the world phone capabilities. I will be travelling to New Zealand this December and want to get an idea of the best way to go about using my phone there.
I am currently running UKB, but would plan on using something stock like andybonestock for my travels...(unless we actually get the ics source before XMAS and we have a stock ics ROM that is 100% functional). I was thinking about buying a certain amount of data while there so I don't have to rely solely upon wifi hotspots.
What have you fellow users been doing when going abroad and what was your experience?

I just got back from a 2 wk trip in Italy and ran AndyBoneStock just like you're thinking.
I simply used the preinstalled SIM card from Vzw and had them activate it so it would work with their European partner, Vodafone--more expensive than unlocking it and installing a local SIM card but I wasn't really planning to use the phone too much and this way I'd keep my own telephone number. I also signed up for Vzw's 100MB of global data for $25, as much for insurance against the occasional or accidental overcharge as anything else.
I was able to make and receive calls pretty much everywhere BUT the data connectivity SUCKED. Maybe it was the fault of their European partner, Vodafone or maybe I screwed up some setting, but I could only pick up a data signal the first couple of days and from then on, no data on the go (even in major cities like Venice, Florence and Rome). I kept getting notification that I'd lost data roaming but clicking the notification would only jump me to the mobile data settings page where I already had data roaming enabled, so I was never able to sleuth it out. I ended up relying on WiFi for email and web connectivity. And when I landed back in the US, my phone locked on to 3G within a few seconds, so I'm thinking it wasn't my settings. \_O_/
And another note, texts from the US always came through blank, with a "message format not supported" message. WTF?
So, what's the take-home lesson? See if you can talk to somebody who's traveled to NZ and get tips on whose carrier to use--Vzw's or a local SIM once you've unlocked your phone.

Not a problem
I've used the phone in Germany, France, Switzerland, London, and Malaysia with no problem. I called Verizon and had the SIM unlocked so I was able to use local SIM cards. I'm running rooted stock so I can't comment on any custom ROMs.

I've used the phone in India, Amsterdam and London - stock rooted worked fine in each location. I had VZ unlock the phone right after I got it, but used the built-in Vodafone SIM and never tried a pay-as-you-go SIM since there really wasn't any need.
On my last trip, CM 7.2.0 worked fine with an APN change to use the "VZW Embedded GSM" settings I pulled from the stock ROM. The phone would switch from Orange to O2 to Vodafone NL depending on whatever it found in the area. Speeds were pretty decent as well. Texting worked, but I never tested MMS so I can't comment there.
This phone has been excellent for those reasons: working CM7 port, world radios and decent speed/features/battery life. It will be a tough search to find a suitable replacement.

Thanks. Are you guys referring to the stock froyo - downgraded root as the ROM? It would be nice to use something like CM7 over the froyo...more options and whatnot.

i used my dinc2 both in germany and in india during a trip. i had two pretty bad mistakes during this time.
one was that i forgot to have my sim unlocked so i had to wait for a week before i could ask my family in the U.S to call verizon and get the unlock code. i did get a few calls before i got a local sim that i mistakenly took and was charged the ridiculous roaming fee. i think it was like 8 dollars for just 3 minutes of talking.
after unlocking it, making and receiving calls were fine, but my data connection was a pain in the a$$. apparently vzw phones cant get apn settings automatically, so unless you have internet to look them up your screwed. i didnt know this at the time and i kept annoying the cellular guy because i thought he messed something up, but it was in fact my phone. i'd recommend getting an app like tweakker to get your apn settings automatically, provided you do have wifi connection.
other than all that, the phone is pretty great abroad. but i would like to know if anyone else got a full 3G connection abroad. for some reason i was only getting edge speeds.
ps. make sure you put your phone in gsm mode and not in global mode once you get a local sim.

I'd like to know how this goes for people, too. I will be traveling to Mexico and buying a Telus SIM or two for the trip.
Plan to use my DInc 2 and a used Aria for me and my wife.
My DInc 2 is unlocked and rooted but my first attempt at using a T-Mobile SIM was unsuccessful (on Skyraider). Will flash rooted 2.3.4 OTA and install tweakker apk and see how things go. Thanks to all for their input on this thread.
Would love to hear if CM7 is working well with GSM networks.

I've used mine in Europe with a sim from ekit. Reasonable price and good connectivity.
For New Zealand, they charge 49 cents per megabyte.

UK & Ireland
I unlocked my Dinc2 before heading to the UK and Ireland (really simple phone call to Verizon). I was running aeroevan's cm9 from 8/22 while I was overseas. While in the UK, I went to ASDA - the Walmart of Britain and bought a prepaid SIM (it's actually a Vodafone SIM) for 20 pounds that had 500MB of data, unlimited texts and 1000 minutes (I think). Popped the SIM in and filled out the APN settings under System Settings > Wireless & Networks: More > Mobile networks > Access point names. Changed the Network mode to GSM/WCDMA preferred and was good to go. While in Ireland, I got an O2 SIM for about the same price with a little more data. Changed the APN settings to O2 and was good to go there, too.
Hope that helps.

Were you able to get 3G speeds doing this? I have read reports of some users stuck on edge when using GSM data.

Net10 Wireless now supports LTE

This isn't exactly NEW information, but it's something that I had just noticed. I knew that StraightTalk had introduced LTE into their prepaid plan, but apparently Net10 has as well. Granted, it's not unlimited data, but for the average user, 2.5GB should be more than plenty.
I've been on Net10 since July of this year. It's been pretty solid so far and my only complaint was the lack of 4G/LTE service. After flashing the new MK2 modems today I noticed for the first time that my Network Icon was showing 4G LTE; not just the standard 4G when connected to 3G or H+. Also Settings->About Phone->Status shows me as being connected to LTE... so just throwing that out there.
I'll throw out my APN settings that have working MMS and everything; although I do believe they're the standard APN settings on Net10's page.

This isn't exactly NEW information, but it's something that I had just noticed. I knew that StraightTalk had introduced LTE into their prepaid plan, but apparently Net10 has as well. Granted, it's not unlimited data, but for the average user, 2.5GB should be more than plenty.
I've been on Net10 since July of this year. It's been pretty solid so far and my only complaint was the lack of 4G/LTE service. After flashing the new MK2 modems today I noticed for the first time that my Network Icon was showing 4G LTE; not just the standard 4G when connected to 3G or H+. Also Settings->About Phone->Status shows me as being connected to LTE... so just throwing that out there.
I'll throw out my APN settings that have working MMS and everything; although I do believe they're the standard APN settings on Net10's page.

This looks promising. In your opinion then, there's no downside at all to doing this? I don't use Wifi calling so I would not miss that. What kind of data speeds do you actually get? If it's even close to what I get now (mid 20's, usually), I'm sold. The only concern I have is this sentence in their "transferring a number" section: In order to transfer or port in your phone number to NET10 you must have a NET10 wireless phone. I plan on calling them to clarify, but does this mean I can't bring my current number over with my phone, that I would need to buy one from them? That would be a deal breaker. Thank you.

I didn't see a down side. I was fine just getting 3G as I'm not usually in an LTE area anyway. Why pay $90 a month when you can get pretty much the same exact coverage for half the price? I came from AT&T and have the same coverage as i did previously.
As far as speeds go, I was just shy of 20 down when I tested the other day. I would upload a picture of it now, but I'm not getting too great of speeds where I am right now. Currently I'm only getting about 7 down and 12 up.. But I'm also in the middle of nowhere atm. I'm getting the same down speed on LTE here with 2-3 bars as i do on full bars of 3G. Upload is considerably slower on 3G though.
As far as porting your number, yes you can port it. It's a simple process and I do believe their website explains how to do it. I think I called though and had them do it over the phone. I do remember that your number still had to be active on your current network.. As in don't cancel your service until you set up net10. In fact, once you start the porting process, they take care of canceling your current service anyway.
And you don't need to buy a device from them, check the BYOP (bring your own phone) program.

FYI Net10 IS StraightTalk. In fact the APN settings are the same when using the new AT&T ST sim as the ones you posted :good:

Net10 is StraightTalk's non-WalMart-subsidized side. I know they use the same APN's, but while StraightTalk had 4G, Net10 was stuck on 3G.

Straight talk have LTE for their AT&T sims not on tmobile sims.
