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.

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.
Hi,
I just rooted my new Note 2 and it went smoothly thanks to all the information I read here. However, I have no internet connection now. I'm not saying that rooting had anything to do with it; I probably didn't have it before. Where in the phone's settings do I check to make sure internet is enabled? I found in the "settings" screen how to turn on Wifi and bluetooth but I didn't see anything for internet.
1. Settings. 2. More Settings. 3. Mobile networks. 4. Mobile data.
Make sure it's checked.

Yeah, its checked.
On the status page it says my network type is HSDPA:9 I switched simm cards because my old phone used the larger one. Is it p[ossible that the phone is trying to use LTE and my unlimited data plan is not LTE and that is causing the problem? How do I get to the screen that tells me the WAP I'm uisng? My old simm card (VERY oold) was from cingular so maybe that setting is wrong too. Just throwing things out here. Not really sure what is relevant and what is not.

APN says "phone"
MMSC http://mmsc.att.net
MMS port 80
MCC 310
MNC 410
APN type default.mms.supl
APN protocal IPv4
APN enabled
I am unable to edit the access point settings. Is this normal?
Edit. I added a WAP for cingular.com that I found in the thread about "how to get around throttling" and it seems to be working. I guess that means I'm still on some low speed plan. I'll test it later and see how slow it is.
The default AT&T WAP is still not working though.
Edit2:
Just downloaded the speedtest app and I get 1900 kb download speed. So I'm still 3g. Should I call AT&T to get them to change my phone account to LTE or is there someother way I can get my AT&T WAP setting to work and that will enable the higher speed of LTE?
how did you get a new smaller sim card for the new phone?
When I got a new sim the guy at AT and T said something about if I didn't get LTE showing up in a minute or so after booting my new note 2, that he would have to put my IMEI number in the computer. We were holding off because I was buying a Note 2 outright and also had a Note 2 in the midst of an insurance claim and we didn't want to switch the number and risk screwing up the insurance claim

The AT&T guy asked if I had a new phone and I said no because I didn't want to get switched off of my unlimited plan. I might have been being paranoid but I figured worst case I could always go back later and say I upgraded phones if I need them to do something to enable high speed.
To get the new smaller sim I just told them I was going overseas for a big and would be using a smaller sim so I had purchased an adaper and I wanted to use a smaller sim so I could keep the adapter in my phone. I got the idea from one of the threads here. Again, maybe paranoid but the idea of paying $50 a month for 5-10 gb of data with thrattling does not appeal to me.
and the proof:
if i'm understanding your delima - which was similar to mine - att needs to flag your account for LTE access and that's it. no plan switching, etc. i have 2 lines, one with a grandfathered unlimited LTE data plan and one with the the $50/5GB plan. the main differences between the unlimited and 5GB plans are: i get throttled after using 3 GB on the unlimited plan (vs. 5GB plan) and i cannot (legally) tether on the unlimited plan (like i can with the $50 plan). i've been throttled twice on the unlimited plan, but only after exceeding 4 GB.

All you need to do is call customer care (611) and ask them to update the imei on your line so they can add the lte feature code. The system won't allow an lte phone to connect to data unless the imei/feature is correct. HSPA will keep working, so if there's no lte in your area it doesn't really matter. You won't lose your unlimited data plan unless you give up data completely, want tethering, or switch to a mobileshare plan. If you keep that feature though, you'll be throttled at 3gb's, whereas you'll get 5gb's on the lte feature.
PM me of you have any questions. I know a certain company well.

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.

I came from a Note 2 rooted. I was able to switch my APN to cingular servers and I was able to run 4G(HSPA+) being unthrottled.
Is there a way to do this on the Note 4 AT&T? I tried using the same APN settings as my note 2 and it just doesn't connect to the internet. I can make calls, but not go on the internet. (I don't even see the 4G symbol either)
I usually hit my 5GB limit in 3-4 days into my cycle..which completelly sucks, because I am shot down to dial up for the rest of the 26 days. I was able to bypass this before but the Note 4 is troublesome.
I also tried this one method by dialing *#*#4636#*#* but changing LTE to 4G didn't solve any problems.
Any help on how to unthrottle myself?

Soon you might not have to. The FTC is suing AT&T about their throttling practices.
But even without root you should be able to create a new APN . I believe?

i dumped my unlimited data because of throttling. AT&T made it so ungodly slow that it wasn't worth paying for unlimited data. If they get rid of throttling, i'll be pissed.
I've loved my unlimited data plan because I figured out how to unthrottle myself. I know there is definitely a way to do it on the note 4 too.. Just have to figure out how to switch to cingular servers again!

I tried unthrottling myself when I had my S4 but nothing worked. I tried many different methods that people suggested. I guess it doesn't work on some devices or roms
You use to be able to change the APN to become unthrottled, but AT&T caught on. This has not been accomplished in years. Hopefully the FTC makes AT&T change their ways. I had AT&T unlimited data for years and just lived with the 5GB threshold. I recently switched to the 30GB promo plan and then the 20GB plan for the price of 10GB through retentions. I have not looked back and not once regretted giving up my unlimited plan.

Are you sure they caught on? I was unthrottled all last month when I had my note 2 (while switching APNs). Hmm, I really don't want to go to a 30gb shared plan because I have others on my plans who also have unlimited data and we all use up to 20gbs each.

I'm thinking the same.. I usually barely went over 5gb bit to be paying $30/month to be throttled was annoying so we literally just switched and used the double data promo to get enough to share... I'll be super pissed if they loose and drop throttling though.

Are you sure they caught on? I was unthrottled all last month when I had my note 2 (while switching APNs). Hmm, I really don't want to go to a 30gb shared plan because I have others on my plans who also have unlimited data and we all use up to 20gbs each.

Pretty sure. But keep trying. It can't hurt, right?

Yeah, when I switched off unlimited data, I thought I was regret doing that but I dont. That double data promo is really convenient and made the switch, bitter-sweet.

You should have stuck with it. The FTC is suing AT&T right now about the unlimited data. Looks like them throttling users is illegal since it wasn't in the original contract.
Once this law suit is of over you will get unlimited data back no throttling.

So I just went out and bought a Pixel Xl on Verizon and tried switching it to AT&T but I get no data. I bought the phone with device payments because they wouldn't let me buy it outright. I plan on cancelling the contract (but will pay off the phone). Because I got it on installments through Verizon, would this keep me from getting data on AT&T.
I adjusted APN settings accordingly and talked with AT&T support who said phone shows it is active and they are not sure what is going on.
I got my Pixel XL a couple of weeks ago from Verizon with the payment plans. I took the SIM Card from my daughters ATT iPhone and had issues right away. No Data or MMS.
I then tried putting my Verizon SIM in to another Verizon phone. My thought was to re-register my SIM and number with another device, thus releasing the Pixel from that number. Restarted the Pixel with the ATT Sim. Now Data, MMS. 4GLTE at 12-16 Mbps. No Advanced call though.
Going to try that now. Thank you
Update: contacted Verizon and they went ahead and paired the sim with a dummy imei and took the pixel off their network. Everything works great now.
