I tried to get the $15 (200 meg) data package to work, but there is no signal showing up on the phone. anyone got any ideas?
Yeah. I have really good idea....... at&t sucks

They use different freqs for the different companies 3g in the states, at&t uses the "standard" freqs and tmob uses its own due to fcc regs. They may also use different flavors of 3g also(ie UMTS, HSPDA, wcdma) the acronyms are endless...

Any ATT data plan should work, but only with ATT's 2G service*.
there are a few things I could think of that could be causing your problem which are separated by phone or network problems (these are all assuming your phone is searching for signal and isn't giving you any obvious errors about the sim):
PHONE PROBLEMS
1. Your MT slide is locked to WCDMA only, which won't work on ATT (see explanation below*).
2. Your unlock method didn't work.
3. Any other random prob with your handset hardware/software.
NETWORK PROBLEMS
1. You are not in a ATT 2G coverage area
3. You are in a location that the ATT 2G signal is being blocked.
2. There is an ATT network outage in your area.
The quickest way to narrow down your prob is to get a hold of an ATT phone that is working (either from a friend or an ATT store) and test your sim in that phone. that will tell you if you need to start troubleshooting your phone or your sim/att service.
*ATT uses a different frequency for their 3G coverage (ATT uses 1900 mhz and 850 mhz WCDMA as oppose to T-Mobiles 1700 mhz WCDMA). this means that if you locked your phone to WCDMA on the slide, then it is going to try to look for an ATT signal at 1700 mhz, which does not exist. Unfortunately there is no way to "re-tune" the radio hardware in most devices to operate on a different frequency, so your probably stuck with 2G only if you continue to use ATT.
the only exception that I know of is the blackberry bold 9700, in which the radio hardware actually supports all gsm/wcdma bands, and just has the "Carrier appropriate" bands enabled in the software. this may be the case with the MT slide, but I doubt it.
UMM before any of that I'M GUESSING YOU HAVE THE PROPER AT&T APN SETTINGS?? Correct?? .. if not, you need to find the att apn address and replace the stock epc address

The apn definately must be correct to use data once the phone finds signal and connects to ATT's network, but jeffbichel said his problem is that the phone isnt getting any signal to begin with. the apn only comes into play once your phone has already found and connected to a cell tower.
I read elsewhere that the only way to get a Slide working with 3G on AT&T is to order one destined for Roger's telecom Canada since they use the same 3g frequencies as AT&T...
You can use a TMO phone on AT&T, the 3G will not work, EDGE only. On an Android phone the APN settings must be set correctly for AT&T for the data to work.

I came from my skyrocket that had LTE so im still on the LTE plan.
i copied my APN settings from the sky rocket to the N4 and have been enjoying the slow measly 4-5mb download on GOOD days but averaging 1-3mb most days.
i have the older radio AND can enable the LTE setting and have it stick but dont need it as im currently on WCDMA preferred.
my phone status shows HSPA+ ATT when it usd to show just HSPA:10 or :15 etc what ever number it shows at the time.
now i'm getting consistent speed tests over 14mb down and 1mb up
I'm currently in the Lawrenceville/Duluth Area of Georgia if that helps
I have enclosed some screen shots.
anyone else noticing this?
its really nice to have these speeds now.
You should block out your phone number on the first screenshot lol.

Im not even using the LTE radio lol
i just saw an email at my company that said this:
Dear all,
I know that it's been a long time coming, but hopefully you all have already experienced, and felt, the new in building wireless solution that AT&T has deployed for us. As part of the contract renewal that we did a few months ago we negotiated with AT&T to deploy, at their cost, a new in-building cell system to solve our cell phone coverage challenges. This system went fully live earlier this week, and we now have across buildings A and B full 3G, 4G and LTE coverage for AT&T with a state of the art system.
I hope that all of you enjoy the new system and extended coverage!
Thank you!

so it looks like that AT&T came out and deployed a new tower that gives us full range of coverage including 3G, 4G and LTE
since i'm NOT using LTE an band right now and on 4G that means that AT&Ts NEW towers have the capability of HSPA+ since we are using it right now but its just not deployed everywhere yet.
im spoiled now and wont want to go back home to my normal AT&T tower

Hey Everyone,
I need the AT&T APN Settings for the Galaxy S4. I flashed to Foxhound Rom(I9505 rom) and flashed a AT&T Kernel but now my data speeds are all out of whack.
Here's the settings I've tried so far http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31135-att-apns-for-custom-roms/, but it's still too slow on the speedtest app compared to what I was getting before.
Also I noticed after using the above settings, my "Network Mode" (found in the Mobile Network settings) keeps switching from what I set it to -- LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect) -- automatically to WCDMA/GSM (auto connect).
Thanks in advance.

Hmmmm I don't know what you mean by plugged in? The phone itself should acquire these APN's when it scans for networks. Make sure you are just using the ATT LTE apn it acquires and then go back and select GSM/LTE/CDMA or something like that and it should stick and hopefully fix your speed. Although your area might not have full LTE yet.

I had to manually enter new APNs into my phone. what I did just now was delete the other 2-3 APNs (Cingular, Cingular MMS) and now my speeds are back up to 20Mbps down, but my upload is at 4.5Mbps up. Is the upload speed normally that much lower?

That is an extremely low upload for LTE that's for sure. I would run a couple tests and see what happens. It could also be ROM related as I am running Task650 AOKP.

Galaxy S4 - no LTE option?
I recently bought an unlocked unbranded Galaxy S4 GT-I9500. I let it (probably a bad judgement call) auto update via WIFI from 4.2 to 4.3 before it ever had a sim chip in it. I'm assuming not an ATT update, no branded bloatware. Root was easy with Odin. So...now on ATT, but not getting LTE? Added the APN settings shown above, but found no LTE listed in the Network mode options. No Network access when I select that APN either. WCDMA/GSM auto and single option for each only thing there.
Any ideas / suggestions?
Maybe I just need to find the right ROM, I like Cyanogenmod 11 kitkat, and get that on there and see what happens.

That's interesting. I just switched my wife over to a Moto G (US GSM) on MetroPCS via online chat. We had the same situation, calls and texts working but didn't notice until the next day that data wasn't working (because we where on our house wifi at the time). I did another online chat with MetroPCS and got the APN settings. The ones they gave me were identical to yours, except:

MMSC: http<dot><slash><slash>mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
(I can't post urls yet, so trade out the <dot><slash><slash> with :// )
We are in the D/FW area if that maybe matters. I wonder if maybe they are moving people to this t-mobile APN since the merger? Since changing to those APN settings though, data has been working great.

I've only seen it say 3G so far, but I did a few speed tests (only from our house though) and the data speeds were in the same ballpark as my Nexus 4 which does indicate HSPA, so I haven't been overly worried.
The US Models show 3G even though they're connected to HSPA.
Go into Settings > About Phone > Status ....and you should see its connected to HSPA.

Moto G problem?
Hi Guys,
Are any of you guys using MetroPCS and Moto G together in New York? I purchased a Moto G and having trouble connecting to MetroPCS network. It keeps saying cannot connect to preferred network, please try again later.
I reset the phone 3 times already but no luck so far. However, it picks up a TMobile SIM card right away. Do I need to do anything manually?
It was my understanding that the MetroPCS network is CDMA while the newly merged Tmobile is GSM. I'm on MetroPCS with 4G on an LG Motion and get very good data service (Central Florida). The LG has been a surprisingly good phone but I'm drooling over the Moto G but I read somewhere that in a couple of months the CDMA version would come out and I could use that on the MetroPCS 4G network. Can anyone confirm or contradict this? I have no idea what kind of data service I will get around here on Tmobile, so I would hate to get locked into that by virtue of the GSM phone. MetroPCS is very strong here and I would like to stick with their network.
Update: The Tmobile page (can't post links yet, sorry) seems to indicate that the Moto G will only operate on Tmobile's HSPA+ network in areas where 1900MHz has been converted from EDGE to HSPA+ when the specs of the Moto G are taken into consideration. If I read it correctly, the G would need to also work on 2100MHz to take advantage of those speeds on the rest of their network. I have no idea how much of their coverage is 1900MHz. The CDMA version won't work on 4G LTE from those specs so I guess using it on MetroPCS is not going to happen.
Moto G Specs
Global GSM Model:
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ up to 21 Mbps (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz)
US GSM Model:
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ up to 21 Mbps (850, 1700 (AWS), 1900 MHz)
CDMA Model:
CDMA/EVDO Rev A (850, 1900 MHz)
Both GSM models require a micro SIM card.
Thanks.
MetroPCS is phasing out their CDMA devices they are going all gsm. Get the US GSM version of the phone it works great on Metro PCS. We are currently in the Orlando area for the holidays and have had no reception issues.

Unfortunately, I'm on Straight Talk and I have yet to see decent speeds. I'm pretty sure they throttle the bandwidth. I know they use ATT towers, but when I had ATT directly, speeds were much faster.
I recently got on with metropcs and had a issue. Of slow speeds, turns out they need to do a refresh of your Sim after installing or it gets throttled for exceeding your 4G limit. Now your probably saying "wait the moto g doesn't support 4g". Which is what I had to explain to their dealer support, who kept insisting I used 500 megs in 2 hours just in email notifications(pre downloaded everything on my home WiFi before going into the store) but it turns out they just needed to update the device on their end.
so what I thought I'd do is, pretend to be one of those deaf mutes
It's very usefull.Good.

I can not for the life of me get this to work. The people at the metro store were predictably zero help.

thank you so much for posting this. I now have 3g web on my pantech crossover because of your posted settings.:good:
I have heard that people using the MT7-L09 version of the Ascend mate 7 are having issues sending MMS Messages over Cellular network and the only way you can make and receive them is over Wi-Fi. Well the issue is Really common on Internationally unlocked cellular phones and the issue is really simple to fix. The problem resides in the APN Settings. When you pop in your T-Mobile or AT&T SIM card, the device sometimes sets up a Automatic APN Set up within the device. Sometimes, when the device does this, it puts down incorrect or old values. Now to the fix.
GO into Settings. Under Wireless & Networks tap More, then tap Mobile Network, and then Access Point Names. Under general you will see a already preseted APN called T-MobileData and under MMS something called T-MobileMMS. If you click the "i" next to the T-MobileData APN you will see that there is nothing set under the MMSC. To add the MMSC value just tap the value and type in http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
After that tap OK then go down to APN Type and make sure default,supl,mms,hipri,dun is displayed. If not, add in the missing values. Make sure that mms is included in the APN Type or MMS Messaging will NOT work. Just for future proofing Make sure you APN Protocol is set to IPv4/IPv6 as set with the latest LTE phones.
Once done select OK and then Save at the bottom. Once done make sure to Select the APN Radio button you just edited a couple of times. You may see your Data connection go out and then show 3G/H/H+. This is normal as it is refreshing settings. Let your phone sit up 5 minutes or until 4G Shows up. Once it shows up, hop into the Messaging app and try sending a MMS message to yourself and you should be able to send and receive it without wifi over 4G LTE.
Those on AT&T, the same fix applies, but with your specific Carriers's APN Settings
Just to let you guys know and other friends, if you ever get on a AWS band (3G/H/H+) and you have NO data connection and your carrier is T-Mobile, this is because T-Mobile has shut down (Or will be shutting down and removing) all AWS band antennas from their towers to make room for new Cat. 6 Carrier Aggregation. So if you get the MT7-L10 version (which is the 3GB RAM Non-LTE version) the AWS bands probably won't work with it and you are stuck with using 2G EDGE as data. This goes for ANY phone that relies on one of Many AWS bands to get 4G Speed internet. For more info on this, check out http://www.tmonews.com/2015/06/aws-hspa-t-mobile-markets-shutdown-dates/
I was wondering if anyone has successfully flashed an AT&T rom to another carriers device, specifically a Verizon galaxy s4. I was told to try it but I wanted to know if it's been done before.
Is the bootloader on your s4 unlocked?

No it is not.
That's good. However, flashing an i337 ROM onto your phone may result in a hard brick. I don't know about the partition layouts on i337 vs version s4.
With an s3, cross-flashing custom ROMs from an international s3 to a North American s3 will hard brick the North American s3.

I think mine is an international version. How would confirm if it is or not?
Is the Verizon s4 a cdma phone with an 3g/LTE sim slot? Flashing an AT&T ROM to your phone may disable phone calls and data as the AT&T ROM requires a specific bootloader and radio frequencies to work. It could also hard brick the phone.
If I were in your position, I would find out how to flash a custom ROM before attempting to flash the AT&T ROM.
Any particular reason you want/need the AT&T ROM?

My phone has CDMA and GSM network settings. I am using this phone on AT&T because I cannot afford to buy a new one right now. Everything works except sending sms on a LTE signal. Fails every time. If I switch to HSPA+ I can send sms but being on this signal causes my battery to drain really quickly for some reason. So I'm trying to sms to work properly on a LTE signal. Someone suggested I try flashing a AT&T rom to my phone since it would most likely have the correct sms files which he believes is why sms doesn't work properly while on a LTE signal.
I understand. Are the APN settings the same for 3g and LTE?

Yeah everything works except send sms. I can receive sms all day but it fails to send. I can send and receive mms, make and receive calls and browse the web. It's just send a standard text message fails every time. Those are the same APN settings I have currently. And it's not a new activation.

If I switch to HSPA+ I can send sms but being on this signal causes my battery to drain really quickly for some reason. So I'm trying to sms to work properly on a LTE signal. Someone suggested I try flashing a AT&T rom to my phone since it would most likely have the correct sms files which he believes is why sms doesn't work properly while on a LTE signal.

The reason it isn't working on LTE is because the Verizon S4 only supports 2 LTE bands and does not have all the LTE bands needed for the AT&T network. There is no way for you to use the LTE network fully and get SMS to work. This is a hardware limitation.
US GSM (AT&T - Model: SGH-I337):
GSM/EDGE: 850/900/1900/1800 MHz
UMTS/HSPA+: 850/1900/2100 MHz
LTE: 700/850/1700/2100/2600 MHz
US CDMA (Verizon - Model: SCH-I545)
CDMA EV-DO Rev. A and Rev. B: 800/1900 MHz
GSM/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
UMTS/HSPA+: 850/900/1900/2100
LTE: 700/1700 MHz (Bands 4, 13)
I have not personally needed to do this, but you can modify your "SMSC" preferred network type from "LTE/GSM" to "GSM Auto" which should route all your SMS messages through HSPA+ instead of LTE. Therefore, you can use your phone on LTE (calls/data) like normal but the SMS will be HSPA+.
Root device if you arent.
Install Advanced Signal Status
Hit "Additional Info" in the app and then "Phone information".
Change dropdown for "Set preferred network type:" to "GSM Auto".
You can hit "Refresh" button and it should show "+13123149810" for AT&T otherwise change it to that for AT&T.
Restart phone.
Hopefully that works!

Actually I can activate all the LTE bands through one of the hidden menus. But when I do it still doesn't work.

That is because the Verizon S4 itself, hardware wise, does not support all the bands AT&T uses (like band 17). There is nothing you can do to make your phone work on network frequencies that your device doesn't support, no software can change that.
Sorry.

But in the service menu I have it shows all those bands and gives me the option in which ones to activate
