How's everyone doing on AT&T? Speeds? 3G/HPSA+?
Trying to decide between this phone and the Galaxy S2 (international unlocked)
Thanks
Once I changed the APN settings to match those on my Atrix, I get ~4-6 MBPS down and ~1 MBPS up (consistent with where my Atrix was speed-wise, so that is a tower limitation in my area). The original WAP.Cingular apn that my SIM card defaulted to was basically 3G only (like ~1 MBPS down, and ~0.7 MBPS up).

If you wouldn't mind providing the complete APN settings it would be nice. I plan on using the GN on ATT as well.
Thank you.

You really only need the "AT&T US HSPDA" (which provides both HSDPA and HSUPA) one and the "AT&T US MMS" ones (I think). Just add them as new APNs (separately, and you can leave the default 3G one there), type it exactly as it appears in that post, touch the menu "dots" and save each APN, select the "HSDPA" one by tapping the circle, and make sure the green light stays there (that it can connect to the network- you'll see the data bars up top first be gray, then show an H, then turn blue)- then reboot the phone. It looks like the GS2 one might even provide faster speeds than this- but I haven't tested it (or even seen what would be different)...
I'm running whatever it came with for APN. SpeedTest shows 3 MBPS down. So I'm not going to mess with it. Works for me.
or you can change your apn settings from the system settings and get faster data speeds. Its really very easy and is very safe to do.
I get better data performance with the default cingular 410 APN..
like 1.7mbps higher.. and my upload is about double compared to the HSDPA APN..
Think I'll stick with the stock one
Just stuck my Micro SIM in and started using. I haven't changed anything.
A word of caution for those of you on non-Smartphone data plans. A friend replaced his i9100 which he had been using on the $10 unlimited data for Non-Smartphones plan with a GN and was flagged less than 24 hours later. It appears that as with other Nexi, Google provides the carriers with the IMEI's. Also, it appears that using the 4G APN (vs. Cinglular) with a grand-fathered unlimited plan will get you throttled from as low as 2GBish a month. There are seperate servers for 4G and they seem to be part of the auditing process. I'm at 8GB this month on my Tab using the Cingular APN and haven't heard anything. The HSPA+ speeds are the same for both APNs.

Interesting. I plan on using iPhone 4S and the GN, and I have the "umlimited" iPhone data plan from the day it was available. I consume upwards of 10 GB a month (Slingboxing CNBC everyday to work ), I do notice being throttled. I do want faster DL speeds too.

Yes, interesting. Thanks for the info, I didn't know they were on separate servers. There is a difference in speeds though, as mine more than doubled by switching to the HSDPA APN. But of course my plan is officially a "4G" plan so maybe that coding on AT&T's end makes a difference...

I was travelling to a couple of places in TX with a friend that had an Infuse. He's on a 4G plan using the 4G APN and my i9100 is on a 3G plan using the Cingular APN. We compared speeds a couple of times in different cities. Mine were equal to his and even faster a couple of times because I had a stronger signal in the same location. I typically get 8MBish down in fake-4G markets and 3MBish down in less congested 3G markets.

IMEIs are like MAC addresses. The first eight digits of your IMEI is called a TAC and can be used to identify the type of device you have. When you use the network, the IMEI, APN and a whole lot of other information are sent to the billing system. AT&T as with most all others can apply rules in their billing system that check your IMEI against the TAC groups allowed for your plan and then apply changes.

That's pretty interesting. I didn't know Google actually sent carriers that have absolutely nothing to do with a phone a list of IMEI's.
Why would Google send AT&T a list of the IMEI's? The phones have absolutely nothing to do with AT&T.

Wow, I don't hit that here (just outside the DC Metro Area) on the fake-4G network (shows as HSDPA in "Phone Status"), with the fake-4G SIM & APN, with an official fake-4G device (The Atrix 4G). There must be some seriously back-hauled (or less-congested) towers out west...
The highest I have ever seen around here (DC-Baltimore included) is ~6 MBPS

I'm also not sure why Google would be sending them these... especially considering the phone isn't on sale in the US. I doubt AT&T has a list of Galaxy Nexus IMEI's.

I don't know why (legal/FCC reasons maybe?- like all GSM IMEI numbers get reported/made available to all GSM carriers?), but I know when I switched over to the evil empire with my N1, the lady just scanned the barcodes under the battery and they had all the info about the N1 up in their system, including it showing up on the account profile as a "Nexus One" (without a picture of course), and this was maybe three weeks after the N1's shipped; so like mid-Feb. maybe. It really surprised me that they had the info on the device.
my GN got delivered on Saturday, headed over to a AT&T Corp. store and asked for a SIM card provisioned for the phone with HSPA+, took the guy about 5-10 minutes, popped the new sim card in and its all been good. I'm getting very good speeds 300-700KB/s. I haven't touched the APN settings, my phone is showing the Cingular 410 and I'm a little afraid to mess with it. I came from a grandfathered unlimited iphone plan (3gS) and they put me on the new unlimited smartphone personal plan for 4g.

300-700kb/s is "very good speeds" for you? Good lord....
lol yea those are really slow.....on another note. They still offer the unlimited 4g data?? is it the same as the unlimited one from iPhone. Im on a grandfathered iPhone 3gs plan basically.

EDIT: OP EDITED WITH CHANGED PTA SETTINGS UNDER APN TYPE!
After reviewing the GS2 thread on the same topic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109983), I thought it might be worthwhile to discuss this issue on the Nexus. I was not able to get the Nexus connected using the information in that thread. However, I was able to get it connected to pta using a slightly modified version of the Skyrocket settings, which I'll post below.
One quick question before I do that, though -- I am only able to get 3 mb/s or so on my Nexus. I am on the unlimited data SOC code for LTE: LDPPVM5 -- think that code is causing any problems?
Anyway, here are working settings to get to PTA (the one the Skyrocket uses):
1) Go to settings, more (under networks), Access Point Names
2) Click on the 3 dots to create a new APN, name it AT&T PTA, and enter the following:

3) Then separately create another new APN and enter the following:

4) Make sure the little circle next to AT&T pta is green.
5) Wait for the device to connect and then restart it.
I had a hard time finding these settings, so I thought it might be helpful to someone else here.

No. Bad joke.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Not to be too paranoid, but will messing with these settings make it appear you are, say, tethering? I don't want to lose my unlimited data on ATT and fear that changing anything to access faster speeds may flag me for using a computer?
Similar to when the Dolphin desktop mode was flagging people on ATT, prompting the carrier to accuse users of tethering...
I wasn't aware Galaxy Nexus had the proper radio for this...

Are you using AT&T's LTE provisioned SIM? that's probably why you're seeing the issue. Also that SoC code is LTE provisioned code which doesn't help.

I am using an AT&T LTE provisioned SIM and my SOC code is LTE, so that could be part of the problem. But also keep in mind, I had that done just in case AT&T ever started to refuse to upgrade unlimited data users to LTE unlimited data. Right now, they're eager to get the LTE towers full, so they won't stop such upgrades -- that may change in the future.
Anyway, I played with my settings for a long time tonight and realized that APN type needs to read "default,internet,supl", not just "default,supl". I have no idea what that means or why it matters, but when I changed that, my speeds definitely increased. To give a comparison, at 1 AM, I got the following speeds:
default wap.cingular APN -- 4-5 Mb for most test servers
phone APN (as described in the thread linked in the OP) -- Average of 5 Mb for most test servers and high of 6 Mb
pta APN (as described above) -- average of 7 Mb for most test servers and high of 8 Mb
The difference isn't exactly extreme, and it's far lower than I'd hoped for, but I think pta is demonstrably faster, at least in my area. I'm eager to see how it does during the work day tomorrow.
I just tried this in Saint Lous, MO and I get no data service with pta

Are you sure this line was exact (with no spaces)? Without "default" there it won't get me data services either, but with it I do:
APN type: default,internet,supl
No data for me either, reverted back to the dault cingular apn...though the HSPA+ phone APN that is floating around these board damn near doubled my speeds.

Just curious... If the HSPA+ APN doubled your speed, then why go back to the default cingular settings?
Im confused, why would the PTA apn do anything in the first place? i thought the i9250 version of the GNex isnt equiped with an LTE radio. Im in Los Angeles, CA where theres no LTE, i cant even get data with the PTA APN on my skyrocket. Unless I am mistaken and theres an LTE radio? id be so happy. Can anyone confirm? GSMARENA.COM list the specs for the i9250 with LTE 700mhz but other sites dont.

It does not have LTE. It has HSPA+ (which AT&T and T-Mobile advertise as 4G). The poster here was saying he previously used a Galaxy S II Skyrocket (which is an AT&T LTE device) and because of that, his data plan is LTE and his SIM is an LTE SIM.
Anyway, I used the APN settings listed around this board and it doesn't seem to make a difference. When I used the settings posted, speedtest wouldn't work properly. It said I was getting 7kbps when it clearly wasn't that slow in real world usage. Going back to default fixed that issue, but I'm only getting about 3.5mbps down. I'd be happy to be getting 5. I already called AT&T and confirmed I've been changed over to an HSPA+ data SOC. Also, I got a new SIM card yesterday since my last one was from when I got my iPhone 3GS a couple years ago.

If you have an LTE SOC, you can use the LTE APN but the device doesn't support LTE. You might as well get the HSPA+ SOC and use the HSPA+ APN.

Using the latest AT&T LTE compatible SIM will not cause a problem. It is backward compatible with all AT&T plans. As for an incorrect SOC, well that's a different story and may have unpredictable results although a number of people have different SOCs/APNs working to their satisfaction.
Since a lot of people here think the LTE SIM is not compatible with HSPA/HSPA+, I am posting part of an official communique for "company owned" device users that went out just before the new LTE SIM was rolled out:
ATT said:
Next Generation SIM card for 4G devices now available
The new SIM card for 4G LTE devices is available for ordering in the COU system. While this SIM is required for 4G LTE devices, it is also compatible with 3G devices and COU will be shipping the 4G LTE SIM with every device make and model going forward (with exception to iPhone 4/iPad 3G +WiFi).
The new SIM (SKU 73057) includes enhancements that will enable functionality for LTE capable devices when supported by the network.

my account is LTE provisioned too(came from skyrocket) and these are almost the exact settings I ended up with as well after messing around with them and comparing with other skyrockets and SG2.
i have not been using the "internet" in the "default,internet,supl" setting, I just had "default,supl".
i have added the internet to see if I see any changes. these are the fastest Ive been able to get my GN to perform at. still not as fast as my skyrocket was using h+, and the MMS take a while to send/recieve sometimes.

Confirm that after obtaining new SIM to replace my 3 year old one and provisioning with a Skyrocket IEMI with LTE unlimited data plan I now am regularly 5Mbps down and hit 7-8Mbps at times. Latency is around 130ms.
MMS not playing nice. I haven't tested send and receive enough to say it works for me or not. I'll check in the morning when texting.

Yes. Thank you. I did do so. My calls to ATT level 2 tech support and then a Supervisor now claim my issue is related to provisioning. The sim is correctly provisioned as pta with APN type settings as default,internet,mms,supl. I am told my account settings as part of my customer profile does not correctly reflect my IEMI and therefore my MMS feature is wonked. Sounds like I am in the customer service black hole waiting for my service ticket to make it through helpless-desk hell. There is something to what I am being spun because my online account is all screwed up. I love smartphone gadgets and hate wireless carriers!

Ok, for the sake of argument, try this please and report back. I have a Vivid that I bought unsubs, therefore I didn't get it from at&t, but from Tigerdirect.com and I had to set my apn because I live in York, PA and there is no LTE here. I am able to send and receive mms and access internet at 6+ mbps and I didn't call at&t to report my new phone. Here are my APN settings:
I setup 2 apns, below are both:
APN1:
Name: AT&T HSPA+
(everything else leave blank until the end, which you will
APN type: default,admin,fota,hipri
APN2:
Name: AT&T MMS
APN: wap.cingular
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
APN type: mms
Those are my settings and again I can send and receive MMS and access internet. Ensure the radio is clicked on AT&T HSPA+
Hope this helps.
Picked this phone up yesterday second hand. It was rooted when I received it and started crashing anytime I would try to install and application. Did a hard reset and it ended up getting stuck in bootloop. Finally got it restored via the threads on here and re-rooted....however the phone will not connect to LTE now, and my data speeds are slooooww (.10kbps download .05kbps upload)...with full "4G" HSPA signal. Any ideas?
Maybe your APN settings are out of whack. I don't know much about it, but let me get my phone and I'll edit this post to add the APN settings.
The APN should show in the list of APNs as:
ATT PTA
pta
The settings for it are:
Name: ATT PTA
APN: pta
Proxy: <not set>
Port: <not set>
Username: <not set>
Password: <not set>
Server: <not set>
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type: None
APN type: default,mms,supl,hipri (no spaces)
Hope this helps.

Is it a 4G sim? Not sure that makes a difference.
Are you certain your are not in top 5% of heavy data users?

I would imagine that I only use about 250MB...so no. I got a brand new SIM this morning from AT&T and was told it was the newest revision.
Should Brady try installing one of the ROMs guys and see if it fixes some kind of software issue that might be imaged on the phone by the previous owner?
Also, worst case scenario, you should still be able to send it back to LG under warranty since it's last than a year old.

Now I'm curious what the previous owner did to fudge the phone up that bad that the signal is shot.
Do you have another phone to test your sim card in?
Silly question, where do you live? I ask because LTE is only available in a very few markets.

Tried the SIM in another phone, however it wasn't 4G compatible so it didn't help. I live in Houston, Texas. When I called into tech support, they said I was less than half a mile from an LTE tower. Even HSPA+ should be getting better than 1/10 MB second.....
Yes, HSPA+ should get you 3-5MB/second. The .10MB/sec is edge speed. LTE will get you at least 15-20MB/sec. Here in DFW I get over 50MB/sec sometimes.

Was it the same speed or slightly faster? You know it would make a difference, we are troubleshooting here...
Go to settings -> about -> status
what does it say in the mobile network type?

Here comes the Mb/sec Mbps confusion... Your numbers are written as MegaBytes, yet you meant MegaBits, it's 8 times difference right there.

Tried the phone in an old 3G phone. Data was faster. Its definitely the phone and not the card. Says HSPA under network type
What is it supposed to show at the network type when phone connected to LTE?
The next attempt I'd do is to backup all partitions:
Code:
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 > /sdcard/firmware-backup.img
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 > /sdcard/boot-backup.img
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 > /sdcard/recovery-backup.img
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 > /sdcard/baseband-backup.img
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p27 > /sdcard/system-backup.img
(you must have root and these commands executed either in adb shell or console app on the phone)
then skipping to "Restoring Nitro HD partition images" at the [Solved] Unbricking Solution for LG Nitro HD | Confirmed Working on Bell Optimus

Oops, you're right. I put that in wrong my numbers are Mbps... not MBps. Either way, its a bad benchmark I know. But its something to reference at least.

Hey, I have the L18i Arc S and am unable to get 3g thorough T Mobile or At&t in New York. Now my question is, would I be able to get 3G through any of the service providers by flashing a different ROM ? I know T Mobile frequency doesn't allow that so I guess the only choice left is At&t. Is there anything I can do to get 3G through At&t on my L18i Arc S ?
No, you should have bought a LT18a.
LT18i has no 3G connection is the states as it's missing the US specific frequencies for 3G and 4G/HSPA+

please help.... LT18a no 3G under straight talk
hey guys, i'm new to XDA. I didn't want to make a new post because it seems that my question has been asked. unfortunately my issue is a bit more technical, I recently bought a lt18a and for the past week I have not been able to get 3G to work. I found a work-around that Straight Talk works under AT&T network so I didn't have to pay their insane prices, but the 3G is not coming up no matter where I went. (I looked up an AT&T tower, drove there just to test out the phone and still nothing) I bought the SIM from straight talk's site and followed their direction on the APN settings I got EDGE to work but no 3G.
I have called straight talk but their infamous awful tech support was no use to me. I also check on other forums and still nothing.

Hello all. This is my first post as well and My friend has the same problem. I did research all over the web and i can't find a normal explanation to why it wont work on AT&T 3G HSPA + network. Does anyone have any info on this matter? All help is greatly appriciated.
If you set it to GSM only, then 3G is turned off/not in use. You need to set it to use WCDMA preferred.

So I recently received my nexus, and set it up with cm10 nightlies, but i seem to never have a data connection. I've looked online for apns and have tried every one but I always get connection for a few minutes, but then disconnects. This happens periodically throughout the day. And I know its not where I live because I was getting a great connection on my skyrocket. So I guess my question is what apn's are you guys using for att? Or maybe do you think I have a broken phone that needs to be sent back. I really wanna keep this phone, but the constant data disconnects are frustrating me! I hope this makes some sense, lol. Anyways, thanks!

Once you installed CM10, were the APNs intact or was the list empty?
I've just looked at my GN, also on AT&T, and found the following:
NAME: ATT
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: <Not set>
Port: <Not set>
Username: [email protected]
Password: <Not set>
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: <Not set>
APN type: default,supl,mms
APN protocol: IPv4
APN enable/disable: (checked off, but is grayed out and says 'APN enabled')
Bearer: unspecified
I think these APN settings are pretty standard. They were put into place by CM10 and I haven't touched them. Coincidentally, I was just about to flash back to stock; if you'd like, I'll double-check these settings once I've done so.
Good luck.
Did you test the phone before flashing nightly roms? maybe try pushing it back to stock and see if that is the issue
So yes I was on stock and I was having the same issues. That's why I flashed cm10 to see if it would help. I have the exact same apns as you do. And when it connects I'll have 5 bars. And literally within a minute, I see it drop all the way down to no bars and then it disconnects from the network. Thanks for the replies. I'm starting to think that I should exchange it for another one to see if its just the phone.

It is my understanding that the GS2 Skyrocket being an LTE device your account and is provisioned for the pta APN.
I am in the middle of something right now, but tomorrow I will post the pta APN info.

Took my Sim right from my Tmobile N5 stuck it in my AZF2 From Amazon, didn't do one thing not even a APN, it worked perfectly.

Ok I have the same configuration mine said 3g change to h+ and 4g for one minute but my s6 always on 4g lte any clue????
I'm having the same issue. Only h+ and I have the same settings
I pulled my card from S6 to the ZF2 just like godgib and it worked right away (Just shows 4G, there is no LTE icon). You guys put it in the SIM1 slot right?
I had a similar problem with one of my new Zen 2, I was not able to even get Cell network nor any mobile networks.
I had to call the carrier and have the IME # added to their service and after 5 mins everything worked.
I had to change from ipv4 to ipv4/ipv6 to get lte. Some reason, for some people, the apn otb is not correct.
No issue on my end, was just plug and play.
Make sure you have the latest OTA updates as some of the earlier releases had incorrect APN settings for T-Mobile.
Not related to LTE but something I've noticed otherwise.. It looks like this phone does not do actual dual stack. ipv4 works fine on its own, as does ipv6. But by selecting ipv4/ipv6, clat4 is used for ipv4 support. This would be all well and good, except clat4 does not seem to load reliably. More times than not, I'm still stuck with ipv6 only. And while nat64/dns64 works, there are a ton of apps that make use of hardcoded ipv4 addresses.
I was able to get LTE (once I figured out that the 4G icon=LTE), but it want as strong as on my Xperia Z3.
I ran some speed tests on both phones in myhome office where it iis used most and any local Starbucks; likely where I use it second most. In both cases my Z3 beat the Zenfone 2 64GB.
Also of interest was that in an AnTuTu test of both phones, while the Zenfone 2 scored higher than my Z3 (48k vs 43k), in the test detail, the Z3 beat the Zenfone in a few categories including the single core test.
Needless to say, the Zenfone 2 went back to Amazon today.
