Unbearable Browser Froyo ATT 3G Image Compression [FIXED] - Nexus One General

[FIXED]
As suspected it was something with the ATT APN settings that google added with their latest iteration of the carrier settings. It would run your browsing through the ATT proxy and if images were larger than a specified threshold, they would shrink them down to an unbearably small size making mobile browsing painful, if not impossible in some cases.
How to Fix:
Go to Settings - Wireless & Networks - Mobile Networks - Access Point Names - Cingular 410 (or for some Media)
Delete the text in the settings for
Proxy
Port
They should now appear as <Not Set>
Hit the menu and select Save.
MMS still seems to function normally and web browsing is just fine.
You may however, need to clear out your cache of the old super thumbnails.
Problem
Documented and left for searching
Like a majority of you, I hopped on the Froyo train and it was quite delicious.
Now however, something about the browser is driving me up a wall, to the point of not really being usable.
This also seems to effect 2.1 Desire users, using their device on ATT.
This is an ATT 3G Nexus One - with the Pauls Froyo rom
When on a 3G data connection something is both compressing and resizing the images, not a little, but a whole blasted lot and I cannot seem to figure out what or why.
I realize carriers often compress images, but this is an absurd level of compression.
This is what the webpage QuestionableContent.net looks like
WiFi connection
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(Ignore the blue box, I had just flash and not installed flash 10.1 from the market, I know I can make it go away...)
Clear cache, everything cleared.
This is what it looks like on 3G
I cannot even get close to reading it. Zoomed in the picture is just absurdly small.
I tried about:debug
Changed my UAString to desktop, same deal. I cannot view certain web pages at all.
That is the final kicker, it is only pictures above a certain size that it compresses them this badly.
If I load up a site with smaller pictures they are just fine, I imagine some 100k limit.
I keep searching but all I can find are threads about the overall fuzziness of the N1 screen, this is well beyond fuzziness and is somehow tied to the carrier, the browser or both.
I noticed this occurred with the Desire rom as well, but I didn't stick to that long and quickly went back to a non desire rom. This did not occur on non desire N1 roms.
Edit:
It has to be something with the carrier or mobile data connection settings -
Was something added to the ATT APN settings?
Is there a hidden setting that compresses images disgustingly?
I did the same tests on Dolphin and Dolphin HD, other than annoying force closing, they showed the exact same results.
Are you having this same issue? Please post!
Post your rom and carrier.
Interesting finds
-This occurs on all browsers
-If one hold clicks on and image, selecting "Save Image" it downloads the picture in full quality...

Not sure what to tell you... I turned off WiFi and just used 3G to get to the site you mentioned and no issues here. Could be a local proxy setting that sends it to a cache site for AT&T and that site has a mini image. I have no need to use AT&T's proxy's to get to their mobile home page so I may have it turned off someplace. I just checked a couple of settings and nothing gives me the option to turn proxy settings on or off from what I found. My only bugs(so far) with Froyo are app related--Dolphin HD closes whenever you touch the address bar and HTC_IME FC's whenever you try and pop the KB up.

Thank you for your reply, you say you are using an ATT N1 as well?
I wonder if it is truly a localized setting or something with the att settings. I'm going to try shutting down, booting up without my sim, shutting down again and putting the sim back in. Maybe I just need a network setting refresh.
As for HTC IME, I installed the version without voice and disabled voice from appearing on the keyboard and it works great for me. Much better than the stock keyboard.
Smooth Calendar widget doesnt work, Handcent force closes after returning home from sending a sms and Dolphin force closes when hitting the address bar (both HD and non).
Otherwise, those I can deal with, this is making mobile browsing not possible.
Edit:
No such luck with the refresh, took the sim out, reboot, let it boot empty and restarted with the sim in. Same exact issue.
This is madness.

Indeed,
I'm on AT&T running rooted FroYo and I also have a drastically downsized image just like the OP. It is in fact completely unreadable, no matter how you zoom in or double-tap.
We need to find a solution for this.

Glad to hear I am not the only one with this issue, I was starting to worry its was just my phone or just my ATT account.
yeah, this is q very serious issue that really puts a damper on mobile browsing that needs to be worked out. I imagine it is a carrier setting for ATT that is new to froyo, but I have no idea where some kind of setting like this would be hidden.

I hadnt noticed that but yep, got this as well. Works correctly on wifi but not on 3g.

Thank you for testing this for me guys, we now know it is not exclusive to just me and my device. However, I am unsure if it is just ATT.
Please post what Rom you are on and Carrier.
(At this time we are all on the same froyo build, but now Chefs are pushing out custom Froyo roms, so that is changing!)
Thanks again guys, if anyone has ANY ideas please, do not hesitate to post them.
Honestly this is a bit absurd, I would be annoyed if it did this by default but you could override it and load an image in full quality by request, but someone, ATT or Google is tanking these images and we need to figure out how / why.

on my 2.1, it loaded up fine.

I realize that, it loaded just fine on my 2.1 as well.
Only other time I saw this was on one Desire Port, but I flashed back to a standard 2.1 because I needed bluetooth.
It was something added in Froyo, we need to figure out what and why, and how to get rid of it.

At first I didn't think I had the issue, but when I hit menu + refresh in 3g mode, the pictures went all thumbnail on me. I am looking for a setting.

does the same issue occur in Skyfire, Dolphin HD, or Opera Mini? Seems like a pretty stupid thing to change when you're upgrading the browser in so many other way for Froyo.

It is stated in the first post and even shown in a picture that this occurs in other browsers.
This is shown to occur in both Dolphin and Dolphin HD -
Opera Mini 5 with picture size set to full it loads normally.
Sadly though, Opera Mini uses server side rendering, thus it really isn't pulling it straight through the device and Skyfire... is well... Skyfire is RDP with a skin on it - so it would be excluded in this case

Try comparing the APN settings between someone who gets the resized pictures, and someone who doesn't. It could be some of you are using a different AT&T APN that is made for smaller phones, WAP-like browsing, not a smart phone one.

I think we have a winner. There has been a few issues where the update to Froyo incorrectly set the APN for your carrier (like using a carrier alternative APN instead of the main one), so it could very well be this.

Thank you for posting your settings, but are you able to view the site clearly? Without image compression?

I think the culprit is the APN Type so. Yours is APN Type: default,supl,mms while it should be left blank, as well as the proxy.

Changing this and restarting the connection does nothing.
Fixed it!
Clearing the Proxy and Port lines of the APN settings did the trick. Pages load in their full glory now.
Thank goodness
Thank you very much Mutantblack for your settings and all others for confirming this issue.
I will now test MMS and a few other settings to see if all else is fixed.

I am on a T-Mobile contract, most connections seem to work okay but my Browser goes nowhere, just keep getting page unavailable, even for Google.co.uk
Any links in twitter or emails just fall down as well...
Can anyone part some advice on the settings to cure this, thanks in advance.
I had the same problem, although I am on O2 in the UK (not T-Mobile like you).
I found that the APN details used when the phone automatically sets up the O2 connection were incorrect.
i recommend you Google the correct settings and then set up a new APN (do not overwrite your existing one), then set the new one to be default and try again.
You might have to kill your browser (or restart your phone) for the changes to take effect.
This link talks you through the procedure but you will need to substitute the correct APN values for TMobile... http://mobileguide.o2.co.uk/devices/device.jsp?deviceId=651&tab=8&step=2&settingId=3203 the web page is for the original Desire but the process is the same for the Desire HD

Perhaps accessing the Google Market is through a particular port that is not supported/allowed by your 3G provider.
For example I was recently in the UK and purchased a prepaid Vodafone SIM. I later found out that sending email through POP was not allowed by Voda.

[Q] ATT Blocking 3G Data Plan for Galaxy Tab 7.7

I just purchased a new Galaxy Tab 7.7 from Negri. I went to ATT to get a new DATA ONLY SIM card for the device but it will not work properly.
The device sees the DATA SIM and has 4 bars but I cannot get online.
If I put the DATA SIM into my old Galaxy Tab 7 it works just fine. I can also put my iPhone SIM into my 7.7 and it works fine.
I took the DATA SIM back to the ATT store and they told me that because it can be used as a phone the system is blocking it from using a 3G Data SIM. They also gave me a new DATA SIM just in case but that did not work.
Possible Solutions?
1. Is there something I can tell ATT to get the data only block removed.
2. Is there an alternate APN setting that I can use that will allow me to use 3G Data only.
3. Something else?

Have you tried using the above settings for MMS, and using the "Phone" APN for WAP yet?
Just set your APN to Phone, and leave everything else blank. Modify the second APN you listed to MMS only instead of Internet and MMS. See if that works.
You must have it named "Broadband". All the other settings seem right- that was my experience last weekend. Here are my settings:

Yep, you have to add the "Broadband" APN. That's what I'm using with the SIM from my AT&T Elevate hotspot.

This worked! Thank you! I spent the entire morning at the ATT store then the entire afternoon with Technical support. Nobody had a clue. Final verdict was that I HAD to get a Phone plan in order to get this to work.
How is your data speed with this APN? I am getting ping=100ms down=1.0-2mb up=100k-1mb. (same as my iPhone so that is a good sign)

Your speeds seem normal. I guess I hadn't read your OP properly to see that you were using a data-only SIM. In addition to the Broadband APN, isp.cingular also works.

In most cases, the speeds are about the same. The isp.cingular is the legacy APN, so you may get higher ping times, but as more and more folks use the Broadband and Phone APN's, sometimes the old APN can be faster overall as it becomes less crowded. Either way, it's nice to have options at your disposal

Intl Version 7.7
Just want to chime in here. I have the 7.7... I purcahsed it online. Its the 3G version. Now all I did was take my SIM card out of my dumb phone (LG c500) and placed it in my Tab 7.7 and it worked for data and phone calls. I was able to keep it on with the $10 unlimitted data (for non smartphones) since AT&T system (at the time) saw it as an unsupported PHONE. Well after a few weeks I began getting text messages stating something regarding I need to purchae a data plan ... something to that effect, however the device still shows up as non-supported. so i put my sim back in my old LG c500 for a few days and then back into my 7.7 and I am good to go.

I just purchased a new Galaxy Tab 7.7 from Negri. I went to ATT to get a new DATA ONLY SIM card for the device but it will not work properly.
The device sees the DATA SIM and has 4 bars but I cannot get online.
If I put the DATA SIM into my old Galaxy Tab 7 it works just fine. I can also put my iPhone SIM into my 7.7 and it works fine.
I took the DATA SIM back to the ATT store and they told me that because it can be used as a phone the system is blocking it from using a 3G Data SIM. They also gave me a new DATA SIM just in case but that did not work.
Possible Solutions?
1. Is there something I can tell ATT to get the data only block removed.
2. Is there an alternate APN setting that I can use that will allow me to use 3G Data only.
3. Something else?

If you just get a non-smartphone and get a normal plan ........ add $15 for the non smartphone unlimitted data and you would be good to go. that's what I did and last month I was at 3.5GB of data and did not get throttled. The device will be an unrecognized device on at&t and you will only pay the $15 for data. Well worth getting the plan or just adding a line of service. Just don't tell them its a tablet. In fact you could just as easily pick up a go phone for $14 to $15 bucks and use the sim card.
thank you for this thread. spent a long time with AT&t and could not get this to work. I have a data only plan.
this worked great.

Need help with Nexus 4 and Straight-Talk APN settings.

Current config that worked for a while and suddenly stopped:

The various forums have been jam packed with issues regarding APN's and AT&T straight talk the last week or two, and I have not come across a straight answer why. I even read where there is a lawsuit going on between AT&T and Straight Talk. For some, the old APN's are needed, for others the new ones are needed, for still others neither set of values work. It seems that a lot of people who's refill card ran out or just renewed had to go with the new APNs.
I lost data too a week ago and straight talk had me re-enter my APN values and data magically came back. Now if I could only get data faster than 1 Mbps that would be nice.
These are the values that straight talk had me enter that fixed my data (I don't have the original ones from 4 months ago so I am not sure there is a difference or not):

As I stated in my post, the first set of APN values fixed my data. As I also stated in my post, I don't know if they are the same values as the ones I entered 4 months ago when I first bought my phone, because I no longer have the ones from 4 months ago to compare them two. The new APN values (the second set in my post) did not work at all for me.

So, I sent an MMS from my phone to myself with the working APN settings and it worked (Took about 10 minutes because I have a -90 to -100 dbm data signal at my house). Plain SMS texts sent from Google to my phone also work.
I hate to drag this thread back up but I have tried every single MMS setting in this thread and not one has worked. Some of the IPs and URLs listed dont reply to a ping, which makes me believe they arent even up.

I was on the phone with Straight Talk Cust-Service and he said that MMS is not guaranteed for BYOD customers. (Disregard my question if you have an N4) Did you buy your phone from Straight Talk?

I have no problem with data, but I cannot receive MMS (I can send just fine). This seems to be a problem for multiple people with multiple phone types at the straight talk forum.
Thought I would post here. Anyone have MMS receive working? I've tried both of the above (the second one is still the Straight Talk recommended one). I lose data with the first one. I've tried a hybrid, as follows, data is fine but still no MMS receive.

This is the same issue I had... Could send but not receive MMS messages, spent 4 hours on the phone with tech support who rebuilt my account twice and couldn't get working, finally to be told they don't guarantee it to work and my phone wasn't compatible with there service. Never did get it working, finally switched to go phone and never had a problem since... That being said, the only thing I didn't try was the SIM swap.

Geez, you are replying to a post from June, and yes my post was about a change that Straight Talk did that killed data for a lot of people that week. I have never had a problem with MMS with the original sim card with the att.mvno values that I have shown. My new LTE sim card however required that I delete all APN entries, use the tfdata version of the APN as listed on Straight Talks's web site, and I also added APN Type: default,supl,mms, but I am not sure which one of those two things (or multiple things) fixed the problem, but now I have MMS with the new card.

thanks for the reply. I have tried multiple things since posting including a long list from here which does include the APN Type: default,supl,mms with no luck. outgoing MMS fine, incoming no dice. next step is call them to reprovision my sim. I may switch to AIO after this month...

Nexus 4 AT&T MMS won't send and receive even with APN settings

Hello guys,
I tried multiple APN settings, and I can't get the pictures to send or receive them. Do I need to do anything with AT&T and call them? It's a post paid plan.
Here's what I tried:
APN Settings
Data on (it worked a bit), then stopped
Data off (I don't have a data plan, and I don't want one, any APN settings to prevent one being added?) doesn't work
Wifi-off, wifi-on, doesn't work
Am I missing something?
Like I said, I don't have a data plan, I can't affor the $360 a year for it either since I have a ton of wifi around me.
Thank you!

As in reset them to default? I did, I end up with three of them: ATT Phone, ATT Wap, and Tracfone. I tried both the ATT phone, ATT Wap, both with cellular data on and off.
The pictures won't sent.
With my ATT HTC Inspire, data off, and wifi on I could receive and send pictures.
I'm so lost and I can't really afford to get that data plan yet

Do I need data to be turned on to send MMS, as in from the phone? Because AT&T will charge me $2 per mb, so I keep it off. The inspire had cellular data turned off from the phone and worked fine with MMS.
Should I select one of the three default APN's? Or not select any???
I also came from an Inspire to the N4. You do realize that the Inspire was turning data on to send and receive MMS and then turning it off don't you? The data used was not charged to your allotment because it is included with the messaging plan. The N4 will do the same thing, but you don't have data available because you have no plan.

I didn't have a plan with the inspire too, just had it manually turned off from my phone.
Even if I turn the mobile data on manually, it won't send, that's the problem with this phone.
I was able to add a dumbphone unlimited data plan for $10 with att, can anything go wrong with this???

try these apn settings. once you have entered and saved them, apply them by tapping the radio button next to the apn name. and also make sure you delete all other apn's. reboot your phone and give mms a whirl. if for some reason it still isn't working, try changing mms port to 8080, reboot once more and try again.
i'm using these settings with at&t gophone on my n4, and although i do have a data plan, i don't see why they wouldn't work without one.

Tried both, neither worked. The weirdest part is if you send a picture, and it's in the "sending" stage, and reboot your phone, right when the phone turns on, it will send. Then after about a minute they won't send anymore. Same thing will happen if you hurry up and try to send a pic right when it reboots.
