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...
Try going to settings and network and register on network automatically.

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.

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.
Clean flashed a Cyanogemod nightly and I can't connect to LTE
This is my first time using the S3 (came in the mail last night, put CM on it and got a new SIM card)
When I put my new SIM in it, I noticed in the store that data wasn't working.
I go home, reboot my phone a couple times, still nothing.
Flash an updated modem, then tried a new kernel.
Go through my network settings and see that the APN is set to ATT LTE
I set it to ATT and immediately I get HSPA+
I also noticed that there's a network type toggle. Mine was set to WCDMA/GSM rather than LTE/WCDMA/GSM
Under both ATT LTE and the ATT APNs, I am unable to toggle LTE.
Also shouldn't HSPA+ work just fine under the LTE APN?
Not sure what to do from here... This was an upgrade from a gnex and one of the biggest selling points for me was LTE in my area

APN was correct, it turned out that the data was provisioned properly.
Fixed it by calling 611 and letting them know what my IMEI is. Started working when I reselected the LTE APN after they switched it over.
Thanks though

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

just alter the stock t-mobile APN name
APN
fast.t-mobile.com
THIS ONLY WORKS WITH THE NEW MODEM THAT WAS RELEASE ON 3.18.2013
i don't know if this is giving a faster speed than my Solavei APN. but i will test it for the rest of the day and let you know what i notice.
Is there a way to activate the LTE option in the network settings? I've seen my phone pop up with an LTE/wcdma/gsm option before a while back.
I know ATT has a number you dial

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)

TIP : " Slow Lte or no Lte avail"increase data Speeds below" Non Lte" WORKS!
This will dramatically increase the data, speed if you have poor lte signal or no Lte data available in your area.
This has also been done on many htc one devices
"Originally posted by mjybarr"
Over in htc one forum.
"I DONT TAKE CREDIT FOR THE FIND" IM JUST SHARING THIS WITH S4 FORUM.
I am sharing this with the s4 as it is relevant info for all
Note :you dont have to do this but for those yielding 8mb or slower i suggest.
Tmo has made fast.tmobile the default apn, which is the lte apn... so if lte is not available or poor in your area you probably will get 3g by default EVEN tho its a 4g icon it will yield 3g speeds, because 3g speeds can be anywhere from 1-3 mbps.You can add the hspa+ apn which will give u 8-15 mb dload speeds or more, it definitely has worked for me and many others.
Here's the settings From my Htc One, which will be same for s4 and any phone.
IMPORTANT* See the illustrations for reference.
You must add default, mms, supl
Under apn type for the new apn to stick.
If you dont it will revert back to fast.t mobile
You can leave it under lte/gsm/wcdma
Switch the apn protocol from Ipv4 to Ipv4/Ipv6
Then hit save and Run a Speed test
Good luck .
