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.

there's a whole thread about this but I'm mobile and can't search for it... title was something like here's how I got 4g on att us... google it! 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.

Well LA is a whole lot more congested than Buffalo and you still got a better speed than I do even during off hours! Best I have ever had as dl was 6mb down I may go start a fight at my local att corporate store today

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.
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.

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

Now I got my unlock code straight from ATT over the phone, told them I was going overseas on business), and unlocked the phone perfectly fine. Put in my net10 Tmobile sim, and activated and updated the apn. I can make/recieve calls, send and recieve text AND MMS PICTURES, but when I try to use data I only get the "G" symbol and slow as **** speeds (like .07mbs down)
Any way to fix this? I know it should work but its just not.
Sorry bout the (dot) com thing, wont let me post links and it's kinda important.
Alright, after flashing a new modem I get "E" instead of just G and slightly better speeds.... and by better I mean about ~0.15mb/s ._.

Before we go into too much troubleshooting, check your imei. Settings > about phone > status
That's sounds like a what happens with a Verizon phone on at&t. In don't think the bands are compatible that net10 leases. I think it also varies greatly by area. Straight talk would be the best for a prepaid using an at&t phone

I looked there and I don't know what you mean by check it, but it is the correct numbers in the settings, and it matches the back of the phone... Also I don't know what IMEI SV means (software version maybe?) but it says 2.

Net10's website simply says any unlocked GSM phone operating on 850 and 1900 MHz bands, which this phone does, and T-Mobile upgraded their towers last year from 1700 to 1900 in Tampa, so it should work just fine.
Is there any way for me to check what bands a phone is currently using? If so I can check on my brothers phone which is a T-Mobile phone running on Net10. If I could check what band's it's actually using for the 4g it's receiving then I can confirm for a fact that the problem is on my end.
Either way though, thanks for your help guys, I appreciate it.
EDIT: After about two hours searching I cannot find a way to find out exactly what band he is using, however I realized since his is a T-Mobile phone it would probably show 1700 either way. I need someone with a iPhone or other GSM in Tampa to confirm I guess... Kinda a problem tho.

Huh, Well I installed the last one on that list and it works!!! I get 4g and first speedest hit 8.5 down 1.5 up. Not too shabby compared to 0.15 on edge lolol
So I guess now my question is how did you do it? What if anything did you change and why does 4g not work at all on CM10.1? Curious.
For me I had to do a factory data reset, once I did it worked perfectly on the stock rooted ROM.

well I got it to work, the 4g that is... but I had the same problem with my wifes phone with the E.. edge which is 2g.. slow data...
I haven't done anything to my wifes phone for over a week, I think its tmobile antenna, which I use simplemobile..
I noticed my s3 would work downtown tampa, but not where I live in town and country... all around my area I was getting E... for a brief second or so I would see 4g and it would change immediately to E.
so I changed the following step last night to make both phones work and got 4g..
in settings... more settings... wireless and networks... mobile networks.. NETWORK MODE= Changed to WCDMA ONLY... seemed to do the trick.. I never had to do that before..

Well I was too hasty before, my phone only gets 4g in a couple spots out and about Tampa. Most of the time it's only Edge, which leads me to believe it is in fact just T-Mobile sucking.
I tried that WCDMA setting and that disconnects me from mobile networks completely. Like if I was in airplane mode.

So I guess now my question is how did you do it? What if anything did you change and why does 4g not work at all on CM10.1? Curious.

I have the same problem. I have an unlocked att on tmo and never see 4g, only E. so my question is what exactly did you flash to get that working? Was it the Tmo rom or the ATT one? I am pretty good at all this but just wanted to make sure i download the right file. Thanks.
Hey guys and gals ... I've searched the Internet far and wide looking for the correct APN settings to allow MMS and Data on a Straight Talk AT&T SIM using an unlocked T-Mobile device with no luck.
So naturally I started playing around with it on my own and figured it out so I thought I would share it with everyone who was curious.
The default APN settings ST gave me worked OK for data, but not MMS --- which was weird.
Here's my APN Settings:
Name: ATT 4G LTE (of course you can name it whatever you want)
APN: tfdata
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type: PAP
APN Type: default,mms,supl,hipri
APN Protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Unspecified
MVNO Type: None
Again, this is using a T-Mobile Galaxy S4 with an AT&T SIM card on Straight Talk.
I don't live in the greatest area for AT&T 4G LTE but I get pretty decent speeds anyway. Better than I was getting on T-Mobile HSPA+ in my area anyway. Plus, overall AT&T coverage is better, which is why I personally opted for the $45 "Unlimited" Plan VS T-Mobile's $30 plan.
Also, I have only been on the service 9 days and managed to rack up 3.75GB of data so far (testing for throttling) and it hasn't happened yet, so I'm happy with that as I will rarely break the 2.5GB barrier.
These settings do allow for MMS & Data ---- which is awesome, because that was the only thing stopping me from porting my real number over :good:
I realize my screenshot doesn't show off very high speeds, but considering my T-Mo service was only getting 2-2.5mbps average, and the average now is 5-6mbps .... I'll take it.
Odds are, if you are in a more popular part of the country, AT&T will love you more :laugh:
Got any questions just ask!
I still had problem's sending MMS with your APN setting and what got everything for are this APN

Thanks Man!
Just got my new Xperia Z Ultra and this thing is a real beast! I used to think my Note and Note II were beasts but they're NOTHING compared to this monster. Yes, it fits in the front pockets with jeans on and it smokes anything I've thrown at it.
The only thing I'm waiting for is to root it but I think I may hold of a bit since I use Apex Launcher and can hide all the bloatware anyway. I never used the camera and ask the other Samsung crap anyway so this is good for me. But I gotta tell ya this screen is just incredible, absolutely stunning and I found it for $629.00 in Chicago. Since I live in Indiana they shipped it overnight free of charge and I didn't have to pay tax. Which is really cool.
But thanks again,

tech support
Don't bother with tech support or the forums. Wow, useless. I had an older t-mobile sim with no issues. Switched to the new AT&T LTE sim. Great speed but cannot receive MMS. I am pretty sure I have tried every possible set of APN settings. Oh well. Anyone want to buy an S4 with low miles?
What should my APN settings be for a Nexus 4 with I believe a new Straight Talk micro sim card? I just bought it from Walmart.
I just upgraded to 4.4 as well and I don't seem to be getting H+ now.

No idea, but you'll get better answers in the Nexus 4 forums as there are probably people there who have your set up and already know what to do.
This is the Galaxy S4 forums.

If that's the case then my sincerest apologies. That just really rubbed me the wrong way.
Dude im about to try these apns. I do recently got a straight talk att sim for my tmobile s4. I get LTE with it in my area.. Reason i choosed att than tmobile is because straight talk doesn't have lte on tmobile straight talk.
The apns I had I couldn't send or receive mms and I had the ones they offered me with their App.

I was indeed speaking of the Straight Talk support forums. I will be more clear in the future. XDA has been an amazing resource and every developer has my sincerest gratitude for contributing to the community. The XDA forums are great. I wish I had something useful to contribute more often.
The resurrection of this thread is due to Straight Talk releasing new AT&T SIM cards with LTE and a new set of APN settings. The MMS failures seem to be randomly associated with many different phones, but I have not been able to find a common denominator or a solution. If I find one, I will bring it back here and give back to the community that gives so much to me.

My bad!
Sorry about that! Glad you like it here
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
Well these apns didnt worked for me. I called traight talk and their support sucks. I got the apns from their website again and turned out I can send mms but cant receive. When somebody send me one it takes minutes for my phone to get a message saying about mms tap to download. But it fails and never do.
Wait you said you have reached over the 2.5GB of data and you're not being throttle yet? I just got this service so im not sure if they will or not. So far im not sure how much data I used since ive been testing a rom im making.

My Nexus 4 is doing the same thing after a bunch of tests with different settings. I just thought maybe it was a temporary server issue of something since it does seem to be going through, but not all the way.

Talking about the n4 I have one as well but it gets annoying when the n4 can recieve pictures and not my s4
Finally Successful
I was finally able to get both LTE and MMS working on my Straight Talk AT&T SIM. I hope that these settings will work out for others having the issue. God knows I spent many hours working on it!

Question for ya, (whether its stupid depends)
When you say lte working that means that you are getting close to the same speed as someone with an att phone and contract. I just got the att sim with ST in jersey and average 5-8mbps down. People in my area with att get true lte speeds. I have been reading various forums and the common consensus seems to be that you will get just that speed 5-8mbps after fighting with your apn.

Yes those are the speeds that I am seeing as well (generally average 8MBPS). I guess it is throttled on AT&T's end, but 5-8mbps will keep me happy.

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.
