First post and I did search to see if anyone reported this and did not find any posts. I updated to Black 2.5 from OEM rom and noticed that when I did repeated measurements of netspeed using DSL Reports Speed Test (Mobile) I was getting a consistant 800-900 Kbit/sec. After upgrade it appears to be about 300-500 Kbit/Sec. I stream using ORB (TV, Video's & Mp3's). A lot more buffering with 3.0.1. I have tried setting Temp internet to Main memory and SD card with no difference noted. I am using Wap.ingular AP. Any thoughts on why 3.0.1 appears to be slower. I did not change the Radio rom 1.16.00.00
I also do not see any speed difference between 2.5 and 3.0.1, but a bug difference from ther OEM rom.
Thanks. BTW sent $ to JasJamming for his awsome ROM.
First, Welcome to XDA-Dev
Remember to read the wiki before posting new threads because chances are the problem you are having has already been discussed several times.
Your network speed is due to several factors which include network traffic. What time of day were you doing your tests? Generally with these roms its best to go with the upgraded radio that actually may help.
I ran over 50 tests on both roms over several days. I guess that it may be a coincidence that on the days I was ruining 2.5 it was less congested and over the last 2 days it was more, but the difference was dramatic. You suggested I upgrade the radio. Do you have a recomendation?
Since the Core modules of wm6 were updated between 2.5 and 3.0 I was just wondering if other had similar results or is it just me (Wife says it just me)

Use isp.cingular instead to bypass the proxy.

Do you have HSDPA enabled? I think it's enabled by default on Black 3 but I can't remember for sure. I haven't done speed tests, so I don't know if that could be the problem or not.

What is the difference with isp.cingular?
isp.cingular
i tried doing this, and it won't even connect anymore here are my settings
AP : isp.cingular
UN : [email protected]

It says it can't connect using this.
If i switch it back to

It woprks fine. Anyone else notice this? Am I missing something here?

i used to use these setting, but on the wap.cingular setting i would set my proxy to wireless.cingular.com. That looks right and you should be able to connect with those settings. Personally I just use the cab provided here and under select network I use medianet connection.
It would be nice to get some feedback if it is any faster or slower than isp.cingular. I believe it is the same speed. I use the medianet connection(wap.cingular) because it enables me to do cingular video.
In addition, I use opera browser 8.65 and in my opinion its faster than PIE.
Thanks goes out to wpbear for the cab

your AP : "isp.cingular" should be "wap.cingular"
Everything else is fine unless you want to put in MEdia Net.
AP : wap.cingular
UN : [email protected]
PW : CINGULAR1
Then you would want to set your Proxy up,
Check : The network connects to the internet
Advanced : Click "HTTP" and put in "wireless.cingular.com" Port "80" Click OK
Click "Socks" and put in "localhost" Port "1080" Click OK to get out and should be set up.
Make sure that both your "isp.cingular" and "wap.cingular" have a check mark on the proxy that says ; "The network connects to the internet"
between those 3 settings you should get you connected. I use ISP

isp.cingular is a valid setting dude.
Actually I have the same problem. wap.cingular works but isp.cingular does not work. I tried so many times but with this ROM it just wont work.

It is for GSM Dial up. what plan do you have? Cingular has very confusing data plans. Be careful, these servers should not be interchangeable, it should depend on your plan. You may get charged per byte if you are not on the unlimited plan. So, make sure you're setting the right server.
GSM Dial Up connection
Phone Number: 19171234567

or
GPRS Internet service

CINGULAR1
Also dependes on the type of data plan you have. I have the PDA Connect Plan.
wap.cingular
* Provisioned for usage with GSM/GPRS/UMTS handsets and PDAs.
* Does not allow tethering of a laptop or PDA for internet access.

Check it out from the cingy web how to set up your 8525. don't believe, check it out.

No one answered me in the LVSW thread, but I was having strance IE problems with isp.cingular on that ROM. Low and behold I switched to black 3.01 and still had it (previious settings worked fine in Black 2.0)
Then I solved it... To fix the problem use the most recent settings in the cingular cab file at the beginning of this thread. then change the settings to isp.cingular.
Looks like there is some problem with DNS in these newest ROMs with PIE. If you look closely, the cab in this thread hard codes the DNS. Wala, then it works.
With old cabs or if you try to do the setting yourself you won't be able to connect with PIE but you will with Opera and other internet apps such as live. Setting the DNS yourself should also work, but there is an easy cab to do it so why bother.
I have the cab setup. I noticed he put in a server address. I set up MEdia Net and another ISP setting according to my plan and my ISP setting works the best. With the server address put in it stahls a little then connects as MEdia Net just is slower. You cannot connect WI-Fi with Media Net on...at least not for me

Because MEdia Net has a proxy set. You'll have the same problem when trying to browse via ActiveSync unless you change to My ISP. Or the proxy disable/restore stuff that's part the latest cingy WM5 and also adapted by CUSTEL to WM6 works quite well and precludes the need to change networks in order to bypass the proxy.
I'll also note that isp.cingular is only valid for PDA connect plans... if you have a MEdia Net plan you must use wap.cingular
Yep, I think this is the problem that a lot of people are blaming on the ROM. Maybe JJ should just come out with a Cingy also.
So I've read all of the claims that the EVO simply won't work if you're in an AWS market. Fine, no problem. Somehow i've managed to get it to work for me though! Well, talk and text on the android plan anyway. I still can't seem to get data working though :/ I was wondering if anyone could help me with this.
I started out with myn-WarmTwoPointTwo--RLS-4-Cricket-Zmod played around with settings for about 4 days and finally managed to get talk and text working. However, my "4G" radio would only take me to a webpage that asks me to sign up for clear internet service when I opened the web browser(Hmm i wonder what would happen if i signed in with my clear account, I'll try that in a moment).
Someone mentioned I go for JimminyV's cricket ROM. So i gave that a try and there didn't seem to be any difference at all, but i couldn't get a mobile network connection, so i'm thinking this ROM won't do the trick for me, I went back to twoPointTwo.

Hey here, yes here, this is why:....
HEY HERE, YES HERE, THIS IS WHY:....
The reason as to why you only get talk/text on cricket with a dual band phone on a tri-band area/AWS is the following:
Your plan has a national access/roaming (talk/text), meaning that everywhere you go, you will be able to get AT LEAST talk and text. On the regular cricket network, you get EVERYTHING.
Your phone is actually connected to sprints tower because sprint is the roaming partner with cricket. the agreement DOES NOT allows data usage, only talk/text ( i will assume because talk/text does not takes as much bandwidth as data does)
So, to sum-up:
ANY DUAL-BAND PHONE on a AWS market will be on a "Roaming Partner Network"
This is because you are using SPRINTS network (or any other romaing partner network), and the agreement only lets you use talk/text.
HOWEVER, if you take your phone where cricket offers a native DUAL BAND (800/1900) frequency, you will have data working.
Numerous people are sadly mistaken when it comes they're understanding of the Cricket EVO's functionality in triband areas. They have been lead to believe that it's impossible to get it to work or to get all of its features working, but this is about as far from the truth as it gets. People are quick to rely on information which they haven't actually tested themselves. They're like the folks in Columbus's day who didn't believe that the earth is round, but here are the facts...I live in Chicago, which is a triband area, and have been using a fully flashed Cricket EVO for quite some time now with out a single problem whatsoever. Everyone one of my features work perfectly fine, and my network is NOT roaming. Looks like Cricket EVOs work in triband areas afterall!
yeah you're not the first person to say that, but no one's been able to prove it. or show how to do it.

Last i checked(for weeks) It couldn't be done on cricket. I've had voice but had to use clear for data.
so yyeah i've searched all EVO forums for Cricket and Triband and there's no thread that posts a solution, there are only 3 threads as a matter of fact.
So which thread were you talking about?
bumping this one, willing to donate to a dev of your choice if someone can help me get this EVO working in st. louis. i understand the AWS issues, but i think as a lot have said, that its possible in AWS markets. im willing to try anything. internet works great here with full 3g, just no getting cricket programming when *228, and *22804 does nothing but sit and then hand up. 611 says your account can not be validated.
Has anyone got this phone (stock or otherwise) working on Straight Talk? I have activated my BYOP AT&T sim, I have 4g, speed test app shows its beating out my Verizon 3g, so that seems about right for HSPA+.
Here's the issue I can't send MMS's (It goes to Sending then to Queued for sending then many minutes later will timeout), and if I send a MMS to this phone, I get a SMS with a link to viewmymessage.com which consistently gives me a "504 Gateway Time-out - The web server is not responding" when trying to view it on the phones browser. It loads fine from any other device or pc. (Side question: Is that really how MMS is implemented on ST?). I've tried almost every APN setting I could find on Google and ST customer service was painfully unhelpful finally telling me to "Talk to Sony".
Besides the speed test and a few web pages, the 4g seems really slow and laggy, I get the feeling its having trouble resolving addresses. Google Play updates will sit for a good 45 seconds before the 0KB/xxKB comes up, and then after that it will chug along at what I imagine 1x speed is like. Acting on this DNS/resolving theory, I installed Opera and put in a proxy, I was then able to load up the viewmymessage site without problems... Any ideas?
Sorry, I can't help much but I've been using straight talk for 2 months now with no problems. Data is fine and I have been able to send and receive mms. I used the apn settings that came in the book with the SIM Card.

As of right now my sister only makes me pay $50 for the data on her VZ family plan, grandfathered in with unlimited data (w/ good LTE coverage), so $55 is going in the wrong direction.
Anyway, my settings are exactly like yours pictured and still the same. Its either got to be ST's servers or a bad SIM. While browsing XDA I found out my Bionic can do GSM so I popped in my ST SIM and same deal, only difference was I had EDGE for data. I didn't check if that pic site worked, I'll save that for tomorrow, along with figuring out how to get my bionic back on CDMA :laugh:
I just bought an xperia ion as well and had MMS working for the first day with the settings in the book.
Since that point I constantly get a "Queued for sending" and then an error when trying to send. When I am receiving messages I get "Message not downloaded"
I feel like I have search and tested for hours various MMS settings for stratightalk including the 66.209.11.33, mms2.tracfone.com, and proxy.mvno.tracfone.com all on port 80 with http://mmsc.cingular.com as the MMSC number MCC 310 and MNC 410.
If anyone with an ion could help it would be appreciated. Again it was working for one day so I am not sure what went wrong.
My phone apparently ended up being provisioned wrong, most reps told me my phone was broke and to contact Sony, but I finally got a ST rep that went through their system and found whatever error was on their side that prevented me from sending. I got the "Message not downloaded" error a few times too, but he said it was likely due to poor service, I don't know how much I believed that, but I did get most pictures to come through. I ended up returning the phone soon after so I can't attest to how it turned out long term (I felt like the data connection was very high in latency and the signal strength fluctuated too much). Hope that helps.

I just reset the APN settings to default, added a new apn with your settings and it is still queuing the messages. Really strange. I have never had a problem with the MMS settings on any of my other smartphones on straight talk. Interesting. I am not sure what to try next. Calling straighttalk customer service tends to not resolve anything. lol
Thanks for your support!

Connected to wifi and now pictures are sending again no sweat. Afraid to disconnect to see if they fail again. lol
Having issues with my Ion too. No matter what settings I use. Submitted a support ticket off their facebook page. We shall see... Never had MMS issue on any other Android with ST
Got MMS working GREAT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931586
Ok people... After searching and searching and searching some more... I now have EVERYTHING working on the Ion with Straight Talk. The current ROM I am using is MIUI, however, this should be the same clean across the board...
If I do not mention a specific setting here for the APN, then assume nothing, and leave it blank. Seriously. These settings for the most part are close to what everyone else is saying, but I was still getting a proxy conflict, causing Data/Web to drop out periodically. Until now. Now EVERYTHING works flawlessly...Data/Web/Calls/MMS, ETC.
So, here we go... We will be making 2 APN's CaSe sensiTivE.
APN 1
Name = Straight Talk
APN = att.mvno
Proxy = proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
Port = 80
MMS Port = 80
MCC = 310
MNC = 410
APN Type = default,supl
If you have the option for APN protocol, set it to IPv4
NOTE: Yes, there are two port listings in this APN, that is not a mistake
APN 2
Name = MMS
APN = att.mvno
MMSC = http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Port = 80
MCC = 310
MNC = 410
APN type = mms
Again...If you have the option for APN protocol, set it to IPv4
Now select the first APN as your primary, and you are good to go. (If this was done correctly, you should not be able to select the MMS APN at all)
Please remember what I said...If you do not see it listed for a setting, DO NOT change it.
If I use this ATT compatible micro sim card, does it matter if the phone is locked or unlocked ?
(will it work properly on Straight talk is it's locked)
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Straight-Talk-Post-Paid-Micro-SIM-AT-T-Bring-Your-Own-Phone-Card/21550826
Can I watch a couple of Netflix movies every day, or will they terminate my service ? ( I know this question has been asked before, but I always get different answers, even from Straight talk customer support)
Please keep in mind that my reply is based on my own experience with the company so far...
If you abuse the data, they "could" throttle you or terminate it until your next "refill" ... However, I have not had that issue. I have far exceded 3GB data this month, and no throttling of any kind. NO text or calls from them either.
My phone is rooted, but NOT Sim unlocked, nor bootloader unlcoked. And it works just fine.
You WILL lose LTE, but honestly, for what I was paying -vs- what I'm paying now... I feel it was a fair trade

So the straight talk AT&T micro sim will activate this phone regardless if it's locked or unlocked ?
Does unlocking the Ion enable lte or is it just a given that straight talk doesn't provide lte access ?

Yes, you can use the ATT microsim from StraightTalk without unlocking the phone. And StraightTalk just doesn't offer LTE...Yet... We will see what the future holds

Hello, I have had my Note 2 for a month now. I have rooted my note several times as well as installed a few ROMS.
Initially I had this ROM installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016575. it worked great except the network ran extremely slow. I went back to stock until today. I installed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987023. I screwed around with the ROM installing it a few times as I had issues with the ROM. I eventually went back to stock, now my network no longer works. I have re flashed stock ROM several times now to no avail. I am hoping someone can help me fix this issue, bare in mind I have only had it a month and I am still fairly noobish when it comes to android. Thank you.

I now have data, with your line: "APN TYPE DUN." I don't have that option, only Internet + MMS, Internet, and MMS. I've tried all the options and the first two work while the 3rd doesn't.
If you use a international rom use APN TYPE DUN if not use Internet + mms.
I'm using jedi which is really tmh perfect no issues.

I I used the telus settings provided, still i cannot send mms (pictures). Please help, thanks
This is bumping an old thread, but I have this exact same problem. I am running ProBam 4.5.0 (a CM based rom) and quite simply, I cannot receive MMS. I can send them just fine. Nothing I do in the APN settings makes a difference, and I have tried EVERYTHING. There are a LOT of Google results for APN glitchery, a lot of answers, and some devices ignore spaces and others don't. Anyway, I have also tried flashing the other Canadian Note 2 modems, after backing mine up of course. The Rogers modem from a month ago or so (I317MVLUCMK5) forced the APN to the 'Telus SP Tether' APN but although the phone, wifi, and SMS worked in both directions, MMS failed both ways. This is very sad, again changing the APN names didn't help at all there either - and sad because across the board I had much better reception. I am in a patchy cell net (With '4G' in the form of H+ but no LTE) and it wasn't my imagination - I could spray paint marks on the highway where the shadows lie, and I was seeing multiple bars through all sorts of fuzzy spots. Come on Telus...
Anyway, in desperation I am going to wipe out my entire phone and try another rom altogether, but I don't expect it to fix the MMS problem. The modem stuff isn't changed or touched by most roms, the roms themselves may react in a different way to the modem/APN needs (like for example Telus sometimes needing different names for what it perceives as an 'semi-unlocked international phone') but you should be able to FIX that problem in settings. And oh boy, I promise you I tried every conceivable combination of APN names. I even tried DEFAULT,SUPL,HIPRI,DUN,INTERNET+MMS at one point... lol
If anyone sees this and knows the answer, please... There were people reporting that unchecking 'retrieve messages automatically' in the SMS app settings cured issues, there were people that only got things to work editing the build prop to force various results to the antenna queries, etc, etc, etc. 3rd party SMS/MMS apps likewise don't work. The person sending me an MMS doesn't get an error, either, which means I went MONTHS without knowing I had this issue. Yup.
I know better than to phone Telus. Jeepers, that would be a long and fruitless phone call....
UPDATE: Work around available using a att/tmobile compatible sim card, setting up the apn, then swapping back to straight talk verizon sim, apn settings are here to get LTE/MMS (no tether yet)
Is anyone successfully using Straight Talk Verizon Compatible Sim card with their Pixel 2 XL (Google Store purchased)?
Problem: Cannot get data on Straight Talk Verizon Sim (voice and text work fine).
Called straight talk, they wanted me to check my APN settings. However the phone will not allow me and says "Access Point Name settings are not available for this user". They said they don't see anything wrong on their end and it seems to be the phone.
Contacted Google, they said the carrier locks down the APN settings and theres nothing they can do to help, need to contact Straight Talk.
How does someone unlock the APN settings, did anyone else have success with ST/VZW Sims? Straight Talk's next idea is a new SIM (which would be sim #3 for this issue...so sounds like they dont know what to do)
I spent 2+ hours on the phone and talked to 5 people (3 calls) just to get my phone number back (first attempt got me a different phone number) and I'm lucky to be able to text and call again.
I too don't have data, but there was someone that suggested inserting a friends sim that lets them change APN and enter the changes, but swap out the sim to the ST one before saving.
Right now I'm trying to figure out why fastboot doesn't work to flash the VZ image. I suspect I need updated drivers.
this is a straight talk issue.. there is nothing else can do on this one.. check if you can ask another straight talk sim from either t-mobile or at&t if possible
i did the sim card swapping thing and got data, but only 3g. like others in the other thread said you cant type out all the setting correctly, particularly 'dun' in apn type.
once we get a stable root will this be just editable via direct entry to apn settings? this is going to be a nightmare flashing roms otherwise.
EDIT: got 4g finally. needed to use TRACFONE.VZWENTP as my APN, other APN lists have it as ACCT.TF.GW6.VZWENTP which gives 3g only. still no MMS yet though....
It's the future of android, unfortunately, in that it's an android 8.1 issue (at least Android 8.0 on 1st gen Pixel XL doesn't have this issue, but Android 8.1 on 1st gen Pixel XL does have this issue).
There is a new setting in the apns-conf.xml file (found in /system/system/etc or /system/etc), which setting is labeled "user_hidden" with options "true" and "false". All of the Verizon MVNO settings are labelled as "true", meaning that APN editing access is now restricted.
There is no way that I know of to edit this file without bootloader unlock and root.
And, it's definitely an Android issue, as Android 8.0 and earlier did not have this issue.
Speculation on my part, but this is probably Google's response to its exclusive carrier, Verizon, request that these phones not be made easy to use on much-cheaper-than-Verizon MVNOs.
I've got everything working including 50 mb down, 40 mb upload, but still can't send a picture via text. I'm using Katerina's settings (half-way down the page) here: https://productforums.google.com/fo...!msg/phone-by-google/_PGJbTEuY0M/BY724wAkBwAJ
I had a Project Fi sim I swapped in to allow adding an APN.

Now that a stable root is out, do you know how to set this via editing, i changed all the user_visible and user_editable settings in the apn-conf.xml file and still cant (i dont see a user_hidden)?
Would love to figure out a non-sim card swap method to do this so i can flash roms and whatnot without constantly swapping sims.

Once I get my replacement Pixel 2 XL (yes, bad blue to yellow to pinkish screen color shift depending on angle), I will be rooting.
The approach I will take will be to adb pull the apns-conf.xml file, edit it (see below), and replace. Possible edits include:
1. apns-conf.xml file from a Pixel XL (1st gen) running 8.0 or 7.1.2; or
2. Search the stock Pixel 2 XL's apns-conf.xml file for occurrences of Verizon, and replace the "true" in user_hidden with "false"
Hopefully, one of the above will work; if not, back to drawing board. I'm sure that there is a workaround, now that stable root exists.

I didnt find any user_hidden in the file on my Pixel 2 XL (Android 8.0, not 8.1)
there is user_visible= "false" on the verizon ones, but changing that to either true or removing it completely do not seem to change anything (even after reboots)
some others have user_editable="false" but not the verizon ones.
I'd upload it here but i hacked it way up and didnt make a backup...everything still seems to work though (using the sim swap trick right now)

I might have gotten dyslexic regarding the concepts; it could have been "user_visible" and "false" instead of "user_hidden" and "true" (it's been almost a week since I looked at this issue).
Glad to hear the workaround is working for you; I will post again on this after I have gotten my new replacement Pixel 2 XL (assuming a more palatable screen).
I was able to use ADB without the SIM in to add the ST APN. However, I get stuck with it not letting me add type "dun" to it. I have LTE working, but no MMS now.

I currently do not have 'mms' set in APN type. And it won't let me set 'dun'. also my Mobile Virtual network operator value is set to DEFF and wont let me change it. So I was hoping to try MMS (but im at work and didnt bring my other sim and sim tool).
Was hoping to manually set it now that im rooted, but i cant figure out how to do that...google and xda searches found lots of old guides from 2014 that don't seem to apply anymore.

This is true. I'm gonna end up having to be on the phone with them. Which I absolutely dread.

I have the same issue with the DUN type as well. I'm gonna try the workaround to it by using a GMS SIM that will allow that type, then putting mine back in. If it works I'll comment later.

A buddy at work heard last Friday that I was going switch to Straight Talk and decided to do the same with his iPhone 7's (last years model). Found out yesterday he spent 2 hours on the phone with them to upgrade as well. So it's not just us early Pixel adopters.
At least everything is working for them.
has anyone tried flashing the verizon emr nov update to see if this helps? i wish google would comment on this issue, its consistently in the top threads on their product forums, but no word from them.
I considered it, but fastboot doesn't work well for me with this phone. Took about 10 tries to unlock the bootloader and tried to run flash-all, but it just hangs. I have the latest Google drivers and latest platform tools.
Tried a different usb port and it worked. = /
FYI. Wiped my phone to install November update and my ACN is gone and no longer have data.
I got mms and LTE finally!!!:
used these exact settings with the sim card swap trick

I forced those with ADB (With the SIM out to get all the fields) but never got MMS even using the MMS type. I'm gonna try the SIM trick tomorrow though.
EDIT: Okay, I got it. I don't know why, but it didn't work the last time I tried it.
If you take the sim card out, in ADB you can run
Code:
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.INSERT content://telephony/carriers --ei simId -1
This forces the new APN screen to come up.
I then used

and it is working fine after I put my SIM back in.
