[Q] Network Connection Intermittent. Radio, Modem? Not APN. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hopefully this is where this post belongs. It's almost the same as AT&T.
I purchased a Note II (SGH-i317 M) locally used. It seems to be having signal issues. Everything seems to be working normally except the radio. The previous owner said he installed CM on it and began to experience issues, and restored to 4.3. I didn't inquire on all the details.
The phone is supposedly originally a Bell (BMC) phone, and has been unlocked. The IMEI appears to be clean to Bell and Swappa.
When I first got it it was occasionally registering as H+ with one bar. But very very week. I read 4.3 has all the carriers in one package, which explains the Rogers and Bell apps installed. I changed the CSC to BMC and now it's only installing the Bell apps. It's also reading my SIM and connecting automatically with "Browser" APN which is like half filled out.
I manually added these APN. I pulled these from here, but they are the same APN I am using in my two other Note 2s.
APN Name: Bell LTE
APN: pda.bell.ca
Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
Port: 80
Username: <Not set>
Password: <Not set>
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc <--- with http in front, can't post URLS
MMSC proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
MMS port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 610
APN type : <Not set>
It is showing LTE and web browsing usually works, but calls and texting isn't happening. This is occurring at my house, but as I drive around town it will stop working. If I dial *#06# my IMEI shows, and matches the sticker in the back.
So what have I done?
I tried rooting and installing another ROM, I erased the data and such and reinstalled 4.3. I used ODIN to flash 4.3. I have played with APNs. And changed the CSC as mentioned.
Now I am a complete noob, and I want to learn but I need some, or a lot, of help. So I am asking all the Note II gurus on here to help me out.

[Q] Issues. YouTube does not work when on mobile network (3G HSPA). Works on WiFi

I have been wrestling with this issue for some days now. When I connect my Xperia Arc to a Wi-Fi network, absolutely everything works and plays. However, when I am only connected to the mobile 3G network, some apps won’t work. YouTube, Market, Weather, Maps, etc. will just hang there with a blank screen loading. I know the data connection is working when connected to the mobile network because I can use the browser, send and receive emails, sync contacts, etc. I can go to Wikipedia, for instance, and search for any topic I want.
In the particular case of playing videos from YouTube, I have the problem either with the app or if I try to play them directly from the browser on the YouTube site. I can search for the videos, get the thumbnails but it will not play them.
I am running LT15a firmware version 2.3.3. I have flashed back and forth 4 times already between the Rogers branded firmware and the generic north America one. I have tried hard resets (factory) as well. I have played with different settings when defining the APN. I am getting tired of re-entering all the settings over and over trying different things.
My phone is unlocked with a Telus SIM Card.
I will appreciate any help to resolve this.
Cheers,
The correct APN settings for Telus are (validated on android 4.0 ICS):
Name: Telus SP
APN: sp.telus.com
Proxy: <Not set>

MCC: 302
MNC: 220

This settings were extracted from a Xperia Ray now available through Telus.

try to change apn..reverts

So I have been trying to change the apn to the pta apn and every time my nexus reverts to cingular 410. Any ideas why?
Add a new apn rather than modifying the existing one.
Make sure to hit Menu --> Save after you make your changes (back button doesn't save changes in this case)
Did all that. Added the pta apn saved it then restarted the phone and the phone jumps back to the Cingular 410
Is your SIM/account provisioned for LTE? I don't believe the PTA apn will work if not.

this might be what I have to do. I called customer service and they gave me some crap about loosing unlimited so I have to go into a store to get it done. Maybe it will work then
If you're grandfathered in to the "unlimited plan", changing to the 4G plan should not count as a new plan.... so you shouldn't lose your unlimited.
I was able to "upgrade" to the 4G unlimited plan without issue, but that was just to be provisioned for HSPA+. I just walked into the store and asked for it - got a new SIM and everything. Took all of five minutes, the CSR was very helpful.
It *should* work the same way for LTE though you'll probably have to specifically request LTE. You can get them to use the IMEI off of a Jetstream if necessary.

Thats what I will need the IMEI off of a LTE smartphone, because nothing is changing the scenario here. AT&T wont add LTE provisioning to my account and the apn's wont stick for nothing
If you can get them to provision your line for 4G/HSPA+ (and they should without any problem), you can use the "phone" APN. I got decent results with that. You're never going to actually hit the LTE speeds afforded by the "PTA" APN with the Galaxy Nexus - the only difference will likely be the latency.

i actually have that provision as I came from an SGS2 where do I find that apn?
There's a good list that I referenced at http://www.codemonkeyjava.com/2011/12/08/apn-list-for-galaxy-nexus-for-att/
The important bits are:

Add those two APNs, select the "phone" one as the default (little toggle bubble thing), and reboot.
will give it a shot and let you know
switched back to cingular 410 speeds were the same between 5-6k up and 1-2 down and with the cingular 410 mms works flawless

[Q] Lg p930 leaked ics and rogers

Hi there everyone, I am new to your forum, but I have been using various mods on various devices over the years. I recently acquired an LG Optimus lte(p930) that was originally on bell. I unlocked it and started using it on rogers. I got everything working just fine, but was unsatisfied with performance. I found the leaked ICS software and updated it, and I love it!(So much so that I am going to abandon my iphone 4s) The only thing stopping me from moving forward is that I am unable to get my mms working. Data is work fine, but not mms, I manually entered the apn's but I noticed something was wrong.
ame: Rogers MMS
APN: media.com
Username: media
Password: mda01
Server: 172.25.0.107
MMSC: !!!not allowed to post link!!!!
MMS Proxy: 10.128.1.69
MMS Port: 80
APN Type: mms
The server line for this is missing in the phone, and I entered it in the proxy, but that didn't work either. after so much more searching I found an alternate.
Name: Rogers MMS
APN: rogers-core-appl1.apn
MMSC: !! not allowed to post link
MMS Proxy: 10.128.1.69
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 720
APN Type: mms
But this flat out does not work. some sites say it is used for both mms and data, and I just cannot get it to work. Any suggestions or known ways to get this to work would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I apologize as this is my first post if this is in the wrong spot, but I wasn't allowed to post in other area's of the forum.
APN: rogers_core_appl1.apn
MMSC: http://mms.grps.rogers.com
MMS Proxy: 10.128.1.69
MMS Port: 80
*Do not add any other parameters!*
Open the browser, let it auto-configure to the point of browsing, restart, try MMS again. It *should* fill all the settings in automatically.
I just set up an unlocked Atrix on Rogers for my mom, this is what worked.
This one didn't for mms or data. I wonder if I have to set my account for it. At rogers that is.

[Q] Connecting my S3 to AT&T data?

Greetings!
This afternoon I received my AT&T branded S3. A friend signed up for AT&T and wanted to keep his old phone so I purchased the S3 from him.
Upon booting up I am able to connect to the AT&T network, however data services are not working. I noticed that it was connecting to the PTA access point pre-setup on the phone so I tried adding the usual AT&T WAP access point (wap.cingular.com). I have had many "international" phones before so I am accustomed to setting up all of the settings myself. I am stuck here though as I am unable to figure this one out.
I would appreciate any and all help!
Thank you in advance,
Matt
data
i received mine today also. i tried cutting my galaxy s ll sim down and using it. i had not data. so i had to call att and it is a totally different data scheme for the 4g lte. i was on the phone for 45 minutes before all was fixed. i had the old grandfathered unlimited data plan and it was looking bad for a while, but they finally did some checking and over rode the system to modify my current unlimited data plan to work with the new s lll. i have never had a problem with the service i get from att, today was no different, they fixed me up and this phone is sweeeet. so it may be your problem also and have to switch to the new data for the 4g lte.
Solved!
Called AT&T, first level support tried reprovisioning my account (turn off phone, wait 2 minutes, call back), had me setup voicemail and then tried telling me my SIM was not a 4G sim (I cut down my old SIM, by old I mean 3 days old). Eventually got escalated to true tech support, they wanted to reprovision my account again, I let them know we just tried that but I'd be happy to do it again. Lo-and-behold this time it worked!
No change of data plan necessary, I had the 2GB plan from before.
I also had no date, but i just added a new apn and it worked. Try this:

OMG
Fedex just dropped my phone!!
Man, this is really super nice looking phone!
I sold my Skyrocket like 2 weeks ago for this. Living with iCrap (iPhone 3GS) for 2 weeks was god awful experience (I gave my iPhone 4 to my wife so..). I'm like in heaven now....
ordered 6/6 premier, blue. bayarea Nocal. It's delivered like 2:15PM.
I hope everyone gets what they want as soon as possible....
Just had a buddy try the wap.cingular settings and it worked.
looking to use my S3 without calling in and changing my phone type. Leaving it at iphone so i can use both with no issues.
Does anybody have the full apn settings? is there a separate one for mms?

You need reprovisioning. PTA is the correct apn And necessary for lte. It will slow down all the way through 4g3g and edge. Mine does.

Data Not Working Today?

For some reason my data connection funked out today. It has worked fine on the ROM, kernel, etc. up until this morning. For some reason I can't get it to work today. Anybody else with this issue?
I would download and reflash the radio, but at work I can't download things and my internet on my phone is (obviously) down. Hopefully this will fix it when I get home.
Have you tried toggling airplane mode? Rebooting?
Data isn't working for me either on stock rom. I didn't change anything today that would have caused this. I'm on AT&T.

Yes to both. Have tried the following so far:
Toggled data on and off.
Toggled Airplane on and off.
Rebooted.
Powered down, pulled battery and booted up again.
Restored previous fully functional nandroid of a different ROM through CWM.
So far no luck. I am unsure what would cause the radio to stop working with no apparent changes on my part.
Occasionally I have the H or H+ showing above my radio signal, but other times it disappears. Even with it showing I can't connect to internet, tried Browser, Facebook, and Tapatalk. Signal bars are grey signaling that connection is not made to Google servers. If I stay on home screen the H+ will return, but if I start an app like Facebook it disappears again or it just hangs on loading.
Very odd behavior.

Sounds like it could be an AT&T issue then, because I am also on their service. I will try to give them a call after work, I suppose.

For me it doesn't have anything to do with 4.2, because I am still on a 4.1.2 ROM. I have a few 4.2 gapps but those can't be the problem, either, because I have been using them for a long time (weeks).

Sorry, didn't catch that. So I switched my Note over to WAP and it won't connect to data. Must be an ATT issue with the cingular apn.
4.1.2 here, same issue. No data connection. Took it to the AT&T store and he added a new APN, but it still won't show up as H+. Just "H" and grey bars, as opposed to the blue color they used to be. If you guys want the info for the new APN they added, I can type it out for ya

That solution works for me. I hope this method is safe.. not too knowledgeable regarding APNs.
AT&T here as well, data isn't working with cm10, or any 4.1.2 rom or official 4.2 either no matter what sort of trickery I try, nothing works. I think it is definitely on AT&T's end. Oh well, off to the bar I go!
Edit.. before any smartasses ask.. I also tried dicking around with apns (wap. cingular, phone apn, and the 410 APN as well..., airplane mode, rebooting, nothing works. Located in PA here, there is a tower 50ft from my house haha.

Hmm... same here. I'm on a Cingular Blue plan, using the "proxy" apn. No data even though it thinks it's connected. Anyone hear a response from AT&T yet on this issue?
Anyone have a list of APNs that are dead? (maybe that would be a good start)
Got to be an att issue, mine was the same when I left the house, on microcell it's fine

The link got my wife's up and running. However, oddly enough, that didn't work for a friend who is still on 4.1.2
So far no luck with any of these APNs. I called AT&T and they didn't seem to have a clue what was happening, they also wanted me to call prepaid center since my nexus isn't in their help files. Will keep trying.
edit: looks like i had some luck with the APN quoted in the post above this one, not the picture in the other thread though.
swapping back to my preferred ROM and putting it in there to see if I can play again.
