So I got an ATT LG Nitro yesterday. I have the recommended APN settings done but the data is so slow. Wifi works well but ny data connection is bunk. Im not even a heavy user at all. Any idea guys?

Which SIM did you get t-mobile or at&t?

If you got a T-Mobile Sim, you're not only gonna get 2G I think which would explain the slow speeds.

Its probably your apn settings. Make sure proxy and port are blank. ST's recommended apn settings will limit your data speed. BTW make sure you still have recommended setting for MMS proxy and MMS port.

I put my wifes ST sim in and i got 6mb transfer rate, so im calling ST. I def have not used a lot of bandwidth so i dont think im being throttled.
UPDATE: I called straight talk. They reset my internet settings on the account. They called it a 'congestion'. Either that or they were randomly throttling people to see if they notice. Anyway she did that then I rebooted my phone and get a solid 6mbps download connection and about 1 up. So that seems to have fixed the problem! They were pretty easy to deal with.
Glad to hear you got that figured out

I've been using my S3 with LTE turned off by creating a new APN and setting it to wap.cingular.com. It's been working fine up until this morning when a strange thing started happening. I am able to make and receive phone calls just fine but I have no data connectivity at all. Email won't sync and gives me an error "network unavailable", no Pandora, no youtube, nothing that requires data.
When I switch the APN back to the default one, I get data again, but when I go back to the wap.cingular.com one, no data.
I tried shutting off the phone and pulling the battery for 30 seconds, I tried deleting and recreating the APN, and still nothing.
I've been using that APN because it gives me longer battery life so I'd like to keep using it if possible.
Any ideas on what might be going on? BTW, I'm in the Miami, FL area in case that matter.
At&t is killing edge in not so distant future LTE is the future. Maybe they killd old towers where you live?

Yeah but using the wap.cingular APN puts the phone in 3G mode, not edge. And if they killed the old towers that use that APN, why would I still get phone signal?
I'm at a loss.

I have exactly the same issue. Every 10 minutes with that APN I lose signal for about 30 seconds. Very annoying.

hrmm...and mine only started today. Before today I'm pretty sure it was working fine. I haven't noticed if I'm losing signal every 10 minutes though. I just know that I have no data whatsoever 100% of the time when using that APN.

When my phone is using edge, there is an E right next to my signal meter. It's not using edge when I'm on wap.cingular.com.
And when the E is there, I get data.
Can someone please confirm what the settings should be when I create a new APN using wap.cingular.com? Maybe my settings are wrong?
roaming charges
I did this also, created APN for wap.cingular. If you go to settings->about device->status, you can see that you are on HSPA.
Does anybody know if AT&T charges roaming for this? I hope not. Since the plan is 4G LTE data plan, any other network (even their own HSPA) might be roaming?

Checked, it's ok.
So I just got the S3 today and immediately got home and rooted and threw cm10 stable on it. Well its been stable minus the data issues in getting. Its switching between 3G and H+ until i try to use data it sticks to H+ but then doesn't work. Speed test times out and so does the play store. Then I have to keep retrying then finally it works? Its bugging me terribly as on the way hone when I was playing with it... none of these issues were present? Any ideas?
Sent from my SGH-T999
Sounds similar to my issues I'm unlocked and on straight talk the indicator always changes at first my speed test were less than 1 MBS down but one day I power cycled and removed my sim and I start getting 6+ MBS down idk its crazy what's your service provider?

Picked it up at T-Mobile, figured im switching from sprint to them anyways might as well see what service is like in my area. Compared to sprint... which there is no comparison its quite sad really. But now its working fine.... until I toggle data then it takes a crap. :-/
Sent from my SGH-T999
the switching between 3g and h+ (4g) is to save on battery live. even a stock nexus 4 does the same thing. the 4g modems that can handle 42mbs can drain tha battery. ther are ways to force h+ but it will drain your batt. if you want to fix search in the cm roms or any aosp rom thread.

I just tried this on TMO straight talk and it won't let me connect if I use that apn. Anyone else on straight talk have any luck?
Q - Solavei and Straight-Talk are both just authorized roaming carriers that piggy-back on the Tmobile network... so as long as Tmo has cut-in LTE in your area.. is there any reason why you wouldnt get LTE coverage on them?

It seems to be looking that way, I'm just not sure if the fast.t-mobile.com apn is required for LTE or not. I get no data when I try to switch to it.
The t mobile apn is working on my phone but I can't send mms. I m going to add the solavei mmsc setting to tmobile later and try it
While out last nite I got great speeds using the old modem on my solavei apn
And I got equal result with the new modem and the same apn and the new tmobile one
However, I did on one of my tests with the fast.t-mobile setting get an instant 14mbps. I spend a good 80mb on speed tests lol
I'm in Los Angeles. I move all around from the Valley to long Beach. My service is consistently good.
I'm sticking with the new modem and my solavei apn for now because I use mms for work

I believe straight talk offers service from both AT&T and T-Mobile. When you purchased your SIM, if you chose the option for T-Mobile, the new apn should work. Do you recall who's service you chose?

Anyway to get Solavei without doing all that multi level marketing? I'm on simple mobile now, but have heard Solavei allows conditional call forwarding and data cap is higher than simple mobile.

Oh I definitely have a tmobile sim. The straight talk sim never worked with the stock tmobile apn. Maybe it's just a difference between straight talk and other MVNOs.

I think where you change the apn, you will need to change the "MMSC" to "http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc". you will find that exactly on the original epc.tmobile.com apn. This is only if you are using t-mobile, if not, then you might need to do the same thing from the original apn.

Changing to this APN from the others result in no speed change for me (as expected)
What does seem better is how fast the speed ramps up to 15mbps (which is the speed Solavei as a MVNO is throttled to)
I don't use MMS (I purely use google voice for SMS)

When installing Skynote RC9z I forgot to backup my apn's.
Can I get someone to list them for me and how do I set the IPv6 apn.
Plus since I'm on PostPaid I read that I could use MetroPCS apn's, so a list of those please. Thanks
I normally never worry about apn's cause they're automatically restored but I forgot about specifically reading in Skynote thread to backup apn's and forgot.
LoL! Doh on me...

Yea I downloaded and used HiAPN, really wished I would've backed up my APN's from SkyNote RC9.1 cause I noticed I had a IPv6 LTE APN
I created a MetroPCS APN To tinker around with when I'm in low T-Mobile Coverage Zones that have higher MetroPCS Coverages. Shall be interesting, I was connected to it all night last night using it fine no problems.

I just used this link to correct my APN settings on my T-Mobile Note 2
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-6763
Or you can just create a new APN.
Just like to add, I was in a no coverage zone I go to a lot and there for half the day switched from the T-Mobile APN getting kbps like back and forth between edge and gprs and decided to try and switch to the MetroPCS APN I manually added and was instantly get 4G and HSPA or lot LTE speeds between 3mbps to 7 and 10 constantly.
