Hi, I was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem or can help with a solution. I just got my Oppo 7 (love this thing) but it seems the network doesn't work properly. The network seems to be picked up just fine, full bars, under network settings it automatically acquires the APN settings and everything, but I can't do anything over the air without WiFi. As soon as the WiFi is gone, I can't browse the internet, send or receive text messages, etc. What do?
Will this help? Won't be LTE, but H+ (my phone doesn't have LTE)

I have mine set up on T Mobile and I'm having the same problem. It's pretty annoying. I've tried a factory reset to no avail. My phone downloaded an update this morning which I hoped would fix the problem, but it looks like it hasn't.

That's odd. There's one thing wrong with this device on stock - its APN database for AT&T is 3-4 years out of date. It was still using the wap.cingular APN when I turned mine on.
You need to manually put in the AT&T LTE APN (pta). ALSO if you've never owned an LTE device before you'll need to talk to AT&T to have your account updated. (Using the pta APN with a Nexus 5 resulted in no data for me too until I had my plan/account updated. You can do this without an actual contract change - for example I'm still grandfathered in to "unlimited data"). In general I would recommend doing this in-person at an AT&T-owned store, not at the phone and not at a franchisee (like most small mall kiosks).
Thanks for the reply everyone, I entered in the new ATT HSPA+ APN and it works like a charm now.
Could you post your settings?. I confirmed the SIM I got yesterday was lte capable but still no dice.

Just putting in the pta APN with no other info was enough for me.
(MMS is probably borked for me until I fill in the right settings for it but I use MMS maybe once every 3 years at most.)

I have this as my settings now and still only get H+. (except for the mmsc, you have 3 m's)
Weird thing is that I get 0 connection when I change from phone to pta.
Not sure if locale is the culprit. I'm in Oklahoma City.

I went to the ATT store, but they weren't any help. They confirmed that the SIM they gave me was lte compatible, but I assumed that's the same thing as having an LTE data package. I'll give them a call tonight and let you all know. (btw, just re-applied your settings and still no luck)
edit: called.. and they claim that all accounts have lte compatibility now and of course she had never heard of the OF7a
The settings entropy posted were the exact settings my N5 had which I copied over and worked fine. One thing to be aware of is that mine says 4G on LTE and then either H or H+ for those, not sure if this applies only to my service area or what and another might show differently. At any rate if you're getting 4G showing you might wanna run speedtest and see if you are getting LTE.

AT&T's SIMs have been LTE compatible for years, even before AT&T had an LTE network. I need to check to be sure, but I'm fairly certain my SIM is still the original "cut down SIM" that I've had since 2011 at least.
It's your account that needs to be LTE-enabled.
Don't call. Phone support is awful. Go to a corporate-owned AT&T physical store. That's where the competent staff are.
(In my case, I originally did the LTE upgrade on a Nexus 5 - if you put a SIM into a Nexus 5 that doesn't have LTE on the account, you'll get a text message saying to call AT&T.)

EDIT: OP EDITED WITH CHANGED PTA SETTINGS UNDER APN TYPE!
After reviewing the GS2 thread on the same topic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109983), I thought it might be worthwhile to discuss this issue on the Nexus. I was not able to get the Nexus connected using the information in that thread. However, I was able to get it connected to pta using a slightly modified version of the Skyrocket settings, which I'll post below.
One quick question before I do that, though -- I am only able to get 3 mb/s or so on my Nexus. I am on the unlimited data SOC code for LTE: LDPPVM5 -- think that code is causing any problems?
Anyway, here are working settings to get to PTA (the one the Skyrocket uses):
1) Go to settings, more (under networks), Access Point Names
2) Click on the 3 dots to create a new APN, name it AT&T PTA, and enter the following:

3) Then separately create another new APN and enter the following:

4) Make sure the little circle next to AT&T pta is green.
5) Wait for the device to connect and then restart it.
I had a hard time finding these settings, so I thought it might be helpful to someone else here.

Not to be too paranoid, but will messing with these settings make it appear you are, say, tethering? I don't want to lose my unlimited data on ATT and fear that changing anything to access faster speeds may flag me for using a computer?
Similar to when the Dolphin desktop mode was flagging people on ATT, prompting the carrier to accuse users of tethering...
I wasn't aware Galaxy Nexus had the proper radio for this...

Are you using AT&T's LTE provisioned SIM? that's probably why you're seeing the issue. Also that SoC code is LTE provisioned code which doesn't help.

I am using an AT&T LTE provisioned SIM and my SOC code is LTE, so that could be part of the problem. But also keep in mind, I had that done just in case AT&T ever started to refuse to upgrade unlimited data users to LTE unlimited data. Right now, they're eager to get the LTE towers full, so they won't stop such upgrades -- that may change in the future.
Anyway, I played with my settings for a long time tonight and realized that APN type needs to read "default,internet,supl", not just "default,supl". I have no idea what that means or why it matters, but when I changed that, my speeds definitely increased. To give a comparison, at 1 AM, I got the following speeds:
default wap.cingular APN -- 4-5 Mb for most test servers
phone APN (as described in the thread linked in the OP) -- Average of 5 Mb for most test servers and high of 6 Mb
pta APN (as described above) -- average of 7 Mb for most test servers and high of 8 Mb
The difference isn't exactly extreme, and it's far lower than I'd hoped for, but I think pta is demonstrably faster, at least in my area. I'm eager to see how it does during the work day tomorrow.

Are you sure this line was exact (with no spaces)? Without "default" there it won't get me data services either, but with it I do:

No data for me either, reverted back to the dault cingular apn...though the HSPA+ phone APN that is floating around these board damn near doubled my speeds.

Just curious... If the HSPA+ APN doubled your speed, then why go back to the default cingular settings?
Im confused, why would the PTA apn do anything in the first place? i thought the i9250 version of the GNex isnt equiped with an LTE radio. Im in Los Angeles, CA where theres no LTE, i cant even get data with the PTA APN on my skyrocket. Unless I am mistaken and theres an LTE radio? id be so happy. Can anyone confirm? GSMARENA.COM list the specs for the i9250 with LTE 700mhz but other sites dont.

It does not have LTE. It has HSPA+ (which AT&T and T-Mobile advertise as 4G). The poster here was saying he previously used a Galaxy S II Skyrocket (which is an AT&T LTE device) and because of that, his data plan is LTE and his SIM is an LTE SIM.
Anyway, I used the APN settings listed around this board and it doesn't seem to make a difference. When I used the settings posted, speedtest wouldn't work properly. It said I was getting 7kbps when it clearly wasn't that slow in real world usage. Going back to default fixed that issue, but I'm only getting about 3.5mbps down. I'd be happy to be getting 5. I already called AT&T and confirmed I've been changed over to an HSPA+ data SOC. Also, I got a new SIM card yesterday since my last one was from when I got my iPhone 3GS a couple years ago.

If you have an LTE SOC, you can use the LTE APN but the device doesn't support LTE. You might as well get the HSPA+ SOC and use the HSPA+ APN.

Using the latest AT&T LTE compatible SIM will not cause a problem. It is backward compatible with all AT&T plans. As for an incorrect SOC, well that's a different story and may have unpredictable results although a number of people have different SOCs/APNs working to their satisfaction.
Since a lot of people here think the LTE SIM is not compatible with HSPA/HSPA+, I am posting part of an official communique for "company owned" device users that went out just before the new LTE SIM was rolled out:
ATT said:
Next Generation SIM card for 4G devices now available
The new SIM card for 4G LTE devices is available for ordering in the COU system. While this SIM is required for 4G LTE devices, it is also compatible with 3G devices and COU will be shipping the 4G LTE SIM with every device make and model going forward (with exception to iPhone 4/iPad 3G +WiFi).
The new SIM (SKU 73057) includes enhancements that will enable functionality for LTE capable devices when supported by the network.

my account is LTE provisioned too(came from skyrocket) and these are almost the exact settings I ended up with as well after messing around with them and comparing with other skyrockets and SG2.
i have not been using the "internet" in the "default,internet,supl" setting, I just had "default,supl".
i have added the internet to see if I see any changes. these are the fastest Ive been able to get my GN to perform at. still not as fast as my skyrocket was using h+, and the MMS take a while to send/recieve sometimes.

Confirm that after obtaining new SIM to replace my 3 year old one and provisioning with a Skyrocket IEMI with LTE unlimited data plan I now am regularly 5Mbps down and hit 7-8Mbps at times. Latency is around 130ms.
MMS not playing nice. I haven't tested send and receive enough to say it works for me or not. I'll check in the morning when texting.

Yes. Thank you. I did do so. My calls to ATT level 2 tech support and then a Supervisor now claim my issue is related to provisioning. The sim is correctly provisioned as pta with APN type settings as default,internet,mms,supl. I am told my account settings as part of my customer profile does not correctly reflect my IEMI and therefore my MMS feature is wonked. Sounds like I am in the customer service black hole waiting for my service ticket to make it through helpless-desk hell. There is something to what I am being spun because my online account is all screwed up. I love smartphone gadgets and hate wireless carriers!

Ok, for the sake of argument, try this please and report back. I have a Vivid that I bought unsubs, therefore I didn't get it from at&t, but from Tigerdirect.com and I had to set my apn because I live in York, PA and there is no LTE here. I am able to send and receive mms and access internet at 6+ mbps and I didn't call at&t to report my new phone. Here are my APN settings:
I setup 2 apns, below are both:
APN1:
Name: AT&T HSPA+
(everything else leave blank until the end, which you will
APN type: default,admin,fota,hipri
APN2:
Name: AT&T MMS
APN: wap.cingular
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
APN type: mms
Those are my settings and again I can send and receive MMS and access internet. Ensure the radio is clicked on AT&T HSPA+
Hope this helps.
Picked this phone up yesterday second hand. It was rooted when I received it and started crashing anytime I would try to install and application. Did a hard reset and it ended up getting stuck in bootloop. Finally got it restored via the threads on here and re-rooted....however the phone will not connect to LTE now, and my data speeds are slooooww (.10kbps download .05kbps upload)...with full "4G" HSPA signal. Any ideas?
Maybe your APN settings are out of whack. I don't know much about it, but let me get my phone and I'll edit this post to add the APN settings.

Is it a 4G sim? Not sure that makes a difference.
Are you certain your are not in top 5% of heavy data users?

I would imagine that I only use about 250MB...so no. I got a brand new SIM this morning from AT&T and was told it was the newest revision.
Should Brady try installing one of the ROMs guys and see if it fixes some kind of software issue that might be imaged on the phone by the previous owner?
Also, worst case scenario, you should still be able to send it back to LG under warranty since it's last than a year old.

Now I'm curious what the previous owner did to fudge the phone up that bad that the signal is shot.
Do you have another phone to test your sim card in?
Silly question, where do you live? I ask because LTE is only available in a very few markets.

Tried the SIM in another phone, however it wasn't 4G compatible so it didn't help. I live in Houston, Texas. When I called into tech support, they said I was less than half a mile from an LTE tower. Even HSPA+ should be getting better than 1/10 MB second.....
Yes, HSPA+ should get you 3-5MB/second. The .10MB/sec is edge speed. LTE will get you at least 15-20MB/sec. Here in DFW I get over 50MB/sec sometimes.

Was it the same speed or slightly faster? You know it would make a difference, we are troubleshooting here...

Here comes the Mb/sec Mbps confusion... Your numbers are written as MegaBytes, yet you meant MegaBits, it's 8 times difference right there.

Tried the phone in an old 3G phone. Data was faster. Its definitely the phone and not the card. Says HSPA under network type
What is it supposed to show at the network type when phone connected to LTE?
The next attempt I'd do is to backup all partitions:
Code:
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 > /sdcard/firmware-backup.img
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 > /sdcard/boot-backup.img
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 > /sdcard/recovery-backup.img
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 > /sdcard/baseband-backup.img
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p27 > /sdcard/system-backup.img
(you must have root and these commands executed either in adb shell or console app on the phone)
then skipping to "Restoring Nitro HD partition images" at the [Solved] Unbricking Solution for LG Nitro HD | Confirmed Working on Bell Optimus

Oops, you're right. I put that in wrong my numbers are Mbps... not MBps. Either way, its a bad benchmark I know. But its something to reference at least.

Are you having issues with LTE on an AOSP ROM? Look here for information, and post any questions you may have about the subject.
First, we need to debunk the carrier's explanation of 4g. The carriers will explain to you that if it says 4g on the stock ROM you are using LTE. That is NOT true, 4g on the stock ROM is actually H, or H+, which is technically 3.5g, and not LTE. The stock ROM displays LTE as 4g LTE
So the first thing you need to do is make SURE you are in a location that has LTE coverage. Go to your carrier's website and verify with their coverage map
Coverage Maps:
AT&T
Rogers
Bell
Telus
AOSP based ROMs display your true network connectivity as follows:
G = GPRS
E = EDGE
3g = 3g
H = HSDPA / HSPA
H+ = HSDPA+ / HSPA+
4g = LTE
For Canadian users, you MUST verify LTE / GSM / WCDMA is selected.
The Dialer Code is *#*#DATA*#*# (or *#*#4636#*#*). You will enter the Data Programming menu, to set it.
Here is an app that will access the menu for you:
LTEOnOFF
Reported ROMs the settings stick on reboot:
CM10
SlimBean
AOKP
Now you have to verify you are using the correct LTE APN settings, and if not, add it.
You can access your APNs by "System Settings => More => Mobile networks => Access Point Names"
Here are the LTE settings for ALL US and Canadian carriers:

Carrier? could you post your settings for help with the guide? If they look exactly the same, just say theyre the same...
I'm with Rogers, everything is the same except for the mms protocol. I left mine blank instead of Wap 2.0
I believe cm10 sometimes resets some settings back to default if you don't reboot after changing a setting. But I'm not 100percent sure.

Excellent job... noob
I'd like to mention that the LTE / GSM / WCDMA selection does not revert after every reboot on any Canadian S3 that I know of with CM10, and has never done so to my knowledge. If this is happening in other AOSP ROMs, it is a ROM specific problem.
The setting does revert to the default after a data wipe though.
Could users of other AOSP ROMs comment on does it stick on reboot?

I've been using Slimbean 2.6 and 2.7 for several weeks now and can confirm LTE is sticking. However I certainly don't think I'm getting the as high a LTE connectivity rate as with the stock rom.

There's so many factors that can contribute to that... too ambiguous to T/S.... It's a trial and error thing... Location, network traffic, and the modem you're currently running...

This is definitely true. Only way I can tell though with a degree of certainty is with a network monitoring app and the fact that I've got pretty standard area of operation.
I've been running kyanrom though for the past couple days and I'm back to getting a much higher degree of LTE connections. I guess while I'm at it, I can also confirm that LTE is sticking with kyanrom also.

Hello,
having LTE issues (Not getting LTE) with Task & Ktoonsez AOKP rom, I have it set to LTE/GSM (PRL) mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu) and when I go into settings>More>Mobile Networks>Network Mode, I have it set to: LTE/GSM/WCDMA mode, and all I get is H and H+ still. I have the LTE APN and have it selected, and still no luck. I had a SIM replacement from Virgin Mobile, but it didn't do any good. When I put it on LTE only mode I lose connection to my carrier. So I keep it on LTE/GSM mode, but still getting no LTE. Anything I can do to fix this? Thanks. It used to work when I had Team Insomnia's Jellybean rom, I had 4g but got no where near LTE speeds. Would this be a Virgin Mobile problem?

EDIT: I think I got it, I am on a Virgin Mobile Supertab (From old phone still being paid off) and changed from that older phone, that didn't have LTE, to the S3 , I went into my Virgin Mobile "My Account' and it showed my phones it only listed the HTC Legend I had few months ago, but not the S3 itself, and beside it saying this device runs on a HSPA+ network. I'm getting this fixed on Monday so I'll see what happens then. If somebody can do it sooner though if they have the same issue with Virgin Mobile/Bell, that would be great too. The system I guess still thinks that I have the HTC Legend which doesn't run LTE.
Anybody on the Bell network having signal problems while running AOKP? I can't seem to get my phone to run LTE and my signal drops randomly. I've wiped, fixed permissions, enabled the proper settings and still nothing.

I just bought a Asus Padfone 2 and love it, problem is I have T-mobile(USA) and can't seen to seen MMS or get 4G internet. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem, its running android 4.1.1. I have tried setting it up using basic setting that I found online but did not help. Any help welcome.
You won't be able to get 4G working, because the padfone 2 doesn't support the US' bands
As for MMS, I know nothing, sorry
The current version is released for Asia market only. Unfortunately the bands won't work here in the US.
Personally I'm waiting for the US version to be released.

Hello, I was looking to purchase this phone as well. I know the 4G will not work, but are you even able to get the 3G working with this phone on T-Mobile or is it hit and miss? I've had international phones pickup 3G, most of the time its briefly. Me and my wife use to have the old LG KS-20 cell phones. When she make Trips to Houston, TX it would pick up a 3G signal, or at least this is what she told me. So I think it would be safe to say (but don't quote me on it) that it would only work constantly in areas that T-mobile have there newest towers. Just idea/opinion. Could anyone confirm?

I live in Houston and it is true that we have some 1900mhz towers and you can get 3G on some iPhones and stuff, but for the most part in most cities I think you can expect Edge speeds on any non AWS bands phone.

Where you able to get non edge speeds on download? T-mobile has 2100mhz down 1700mhz up from my understanding so it might be possible to get better download speeds.
What's up guys.
Looking to buy the note 8.0 INTERNATIONAL (N5100) because I want phone abilities.
Is anyone using the N5100 on At&t?
Does it work well, are you able to use HSPA+?
I planned on getting the N5100, but does anyone know of a hack for making calls on the At&t variant?

I have an N5100 I sometimes put my AT&T SIM in.
For the most part, it works well. I did have one glitch where mobile data stopped working for some reason (phone calls and texts still went through). I had to do a factory reset to fix it, but this could be because I'm constantly swapping my SIM in and out.
I just learned today about AT&T's phone APN. The default APN that gets loaded by the SIM is the wap.cingular one, but if you use the phone APN, the data speeds are much faster. I believe I am seeing HSPA+ speeds (6946kbps).
