Hd2 on android using SIMPLE MOBILE

Anyone know if this will work? I currently have tmobile n everything works perfect using chuckydroid rom n mattc froyo 1.5... But im thinkin about switchin to Simple Mobile

I believe Simple Mobile shouldn't be any different than TMo since SM uses TMo's sites, etc. If not, you could just ask SM what their APN settings are.

they dont have a unlimited plan is the difference i believe

I have simple mobile everything unlimited $60 plan

I've been looking at trying out Simple Mobile but I've read that their "Unlimited" data isn't exactly unlimited. Apparently the $60 unlimited plan is capped at 1000mb and gives you the option of $10 for an additional 100mb. I've also seen some cases of poor customer service and the word "scam" has been thrown around.
I'm hoping to hear otherwise as I always like to shrink my bills. Anyone have problems like this?

Simple Mobile Internet setup site
hello, i recently setup the internet for my moms mt3g, go to the site
simplemobile.yolasite.com this has all the instructions for a lot of cell phones that can be used with this carrier.

be sure towatch your data because SM is very strict! all you get is the 1000 megs and then they will start sending you text messages saying your bout to exceed your limit. i have learned to just use wifi at home and there data when i am away.

So a 1000mb cap is not unlimited as simple mobile claims. I think I'll avoid this provider due to this false advertising.

Same here. I even used SM watching movies streamed online plus email with attachments download.
FYI, SM used to have their $60 at 200mb cap though the reality was 1000mb. Now they have $60 ate unlimited all.
Guess what, my daughter who is on $25 unlimited call and text for 15 days is working for a month instead of 15 days.

Thanks for your experiences. I think I'll try it out.

[Q] Nexus 4 Slow Data Speed

I have AT&T and I just got the Nexus 4. My previous phone was the Samsung Galaxy S II and I was getting data speeds of about 8Mbps. Now that I switched to the Nexus 4 it is acting like I am capped. I am getting data speeds of 7kbs down and 1.2Mbs down. For some reason every speed test I run results in 7Kbps down.
Why is this happening? On the galaxy S II I could flash different modems. Does the Nexus 4 have modems and could that be my problem?

Do a little searching and you will find your answer. I recently made a thread about this myself.
It has to do with the way the Nexus 4 shows up in AT&T's system. Call them and tell them you just switched to a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (an LTE phone) and give them this IMEI: 357288040480105. They will reprovision your data to the fastest allowed speeds including LTE and HSPA+ when LTE isn't available. After you get off the phone with them go to you APN settings page and go here. Add the APN 3 on that page and combine APN 5 with it (MMS). Delete any other APNs you have after you save that one. Restart your phone and you'll be good to go!

I'm still deciding on if I'm going to use my N4 on T-Mobile or AT&T, but if I can get those mythical 20-30MB download speeds that I've seen some people with their N4 on AT&T, I'm going there.

Why do I give them that IMEI? Can I not just tell them I got the Nexus 4 or do I need to lie and tell them I have the Skyrocket?

I explained it in depth in the message I sent to you. Basically it has to do with AT&T not having our phone in their system so they drop us onto a ****ty standard 3G plan.

Its not about lying to them, its about their system needs an IMEI to determine what plan to put on your account, i.e. the reps cant just 'pick' from a list of data plans, they input an IMEI and the system tells them 'you get this plan'. You need to have a smartphone 4G or LTE dataplan on your account to get faster speeds.

Obligatory:

Just create your own "4G" IMEI, call AT&T, give it to them, reboot, enjoy HSPA+.

AT&T is catching on.
Pat Simpson: So, I see on the internet that IMEI is the one to give AT&T to get a Nexus to work on our network.
Me: Yes.
Pat Simpson: Well, AT&T is trying to make our network more compatible with Non-AT&T phones. But we are getting inundated with these requests and have been told not try to correct the accounts by putting false information in the system.

I took the IMEI number to the AT&T store and they were able to put me on a 4G LTE plan. :good:

I would suggest going to an AT&T store to do this now. They want to sit back and rob us of our full experience with their network
If you're on TMobile, try the APNs found here. They may work, they may not work. Also, go into your MyTmobile account and make sure your phone is listed as a Nexus 4

Should I call At&t?
Hi Guys,
I am getting on avg 6mb down and 1.5 up is that normal for HSPA+ in the Boston area? The phone does change to HSPA+15 when data is being used.

Hey guys. I have the same problem, my Nexus shows me 3 kB/s download speed — which is slow even by 1996 year standards. I'm using prepaid $25 plan with a data package on it. I wonder, would this «new IMEI» trick work with my prepaid plan? Or have I switch to a slavery commitment plan first? Please answer because this is the only thread on the internet I have found with some sense on the topic. Thanks.

This doesn't work, I have a 4g provisioned plan and my phone keeps connecting and disconnecting from hspa plus over and over again. I cannot get 1 damn APN to work the correct way with AT&T. I've had issue after issue and no fix. I cannot get this connection issue corrected. I've had an LTE plan with LTE APN nothing, a 4G plan with 4G APN and nothing. The only thing that works is the default settings but speed test errors so I'm not even sure what speeds that is now.

Are you sure you have 4G (HSPA+) or even 3G AT&T service for that matter in your area? A lot of rural areas are only 2G on AT&T's network. And a word of advice on ST AT&T running a lot of speedtests in one day will cause you to go over their daily limit resulting in you getting throttled down to 2G speeds for the reminder of your month. The daily limit is somewhere between 50 and 100 MB and one speedtest alone can use up to 12MB. People also report being throttled after hitting 1.5GB of usage in a month.
Edit: sorry just saw the H in your picture so it would appear you might be throttled by AT&T if your settings are right. Not sure if the H would still show up if your throttled as I've never had it happen to me. So not really sure.

Are you on AT&T SIM, or T-Mobile SIM?
First, I would go to APN settings and try "Reset to defaults" from the options menu.
If you still have issues check the settings against http://www.straighttalksim.com/support.php #4 Update Settings.
Lastly, check one of the many threads already posted in the Nexus 4 General forms;

Then I would think you're being throttled.

That's horrible then. I've only used a total of 663Mb of data (3g/4g) .. Use WiFi mostly
I think I need to contact straight talk then.
I would use T-Mobile Sim . but about 4yrs ago I had T-Mobile. & It sucked in my area

I have confirmed calls from straight talk.
I am throttled to 0.26 MBS (avg)
They are now throttling after 1gb or a unsaid amount per day.
Paying your bill will not lift this.
Supposedly letting your service expire. Then paying your bill will lift the throttle until the limit is hit.

I dumped ST and went with AT&T's own GoPhone plan for $50 a month. Its only 1 GB of data a month but at least I know the limit and its not some arbitrary number. Plus I was afraid of losing my phone number which I ported to ST for violating some obscure rule of theirs like streaming video. Also their customer service is abysmal to say the least. Would love to go to T-Mobile but it sucks everywhere in Michigan and their new LTE ain't going to fix that as the state is 99% rural and will never get it let alone HSPA.

is there a way to bypass throttle?
So I have seen in some threads that turning data on and off as well as airplane mode tricks the system. But it does not work for me. Any one know how to do this and how can I stop them from knowing how much data I'm using?

[Q] Nexus 4 on AT&T $50 Unlimited GoPhone?

I have had a Nexus 4 since it first went on sale, and have used it on various carriers. First, I used Straight Talk (AT&T), but after being throttled to barely-dial-up speeds, I switched to the $30 unlimited text, data, 100min T-Mobile plan. Bad Idea. After switching, i was unable to access full T-Mobile '4G' speed, because apparently it is not available in my area, even though it is advertised as such. I get good data speeds for my area, and the service is okay. The trouble begins when i leave the area, and it doesn't end until i come back. There is absolutely no service, only roaming.
I have ordered an AT&T MicroSim, and am wondering how i would be able to activate the $50 Unlimited GoPhone (Dumb Phone) plan using my Nexus 4.
I know they offer a smartphone plan for $25 with 250mins and unlimited texting, with the option to add data for up to $25/1G, but to be honest I use way too much data for any addon option to be feasible. If it requires using less data to make the $50 unlimited option work, that is fine.
I have an Lg Vu (Dumb Phone) and a Samsung Note I i can use for IMEIs and activation, but am wondering exactly how to do it.
My Micro Sim will arrive within a week, so hopefully I can activate it when i receive it.
Thanks in advance!

AT&T is extremely strict about the smartphone vs dumbphone plans. I doubt there is a way to get it to work. You likely will have to go with the smartphone plan. If you would like you can mess around with the settings or just activate the plan using a dumbphone and switch the SIM card over after activation.

Might as well go with StraightTalk on T-Mobile's network.

There are quite a few people using the Nexus 4 on AT&T's $50 GoPhone plan without any issues. You can either activate it on-line or go into an AT&T store and have them activate it for you which is what I did. No need to use another phones IMEI as the Nexus 4 isn't a 4G phone as defined by AT&T (they mean LTE) and can use the GoPhone plans. Don't let a store rep or CSR tell you differently as they will try and up sell you into a more expensive plan saying the phones not supported which is a lie.
And 1 GB of data is the max you can get with this plan. Not sure if you can add more data in a month if you go over or if your stuck paying the $0.05/Kb. Maybe they just cut your data off but I doubt that.
And when you renew your package every month if you use the Kiosk in the AT&T store you pay just a straight $50, no taxes or fees.

I have T-Mobile now. It sucks. And I switched from Att on straight talk because of the low(1-1.5G) throttle limit.

They are using the $50 Unlimited plan for dumb phones? What APN do they use? I've heard the data doesn't work without the right settings.

I used the default AT&T APN that was on the phone when I put the microsim in, ATT WAP (wap.cingular). Its not a dumb phone plan its a 3G/HSPA+ smartphone plan, I get HSPA+15 speeds in my area. AT&T reps will tell you the plan doesn't support 4G phones and what they mean is LTE phones not HSPA+ phones.

no. the one you are talking about is 50$, everything unlimited? im pretty sure the one kzoo is talking about, and the one i was also using, is 25$ for 250 minutes and unlimited txts. then you have to buy a data package, I had one for 25$ for 1 GB. so.... 250mins, unlimited txts, 1GB = 50$. att doesnt like to advertise this because in their gophone brocure, they talk about a smartphone plan for 65$, saying you need it for a smart phone. then if you look at the little asterisk about the 25$ plan, it says you need a data package for it to work and it also says it works with a smartphone. almost like false advertising to me, i would like to beat their execs heads against concrete along with verizons.

Let me help clear this up. OP, I believe you are referring to their $50 unlimited data and minutes plan for feature phones? I have heard of people getting that to work with their N4, but since it is for feature phones, the data is usually throttled at 2G speeds. If you aren't happy with being throttled on Straight Talk after a gig, then this is worse as it's right away.
What I'm doing is using their $25 plan with 250 minutes and adding a gig of data for another $25, coming to a total of $50/month (actually, kzoodroid helped me set that up for myself in another thread, thanks kzoodroid!). I read that any add-on plans wouldn't work for you because you use a lot of data so that might not work for you.
What I would recommend, and what I'd do if I ever found that a gig wasn't enough for me, is go post-paid. I was quoted around $70/mo for like 400 minutes and 3 gigs of data on their post-paid network. You don't have to sign a contract to go post-paid btw. That is also good because during peak hours where they need to throttle people, they tend to favor post-paid so you most likely will never be throttled. That isn't a problem in my area as I live in a relatively sparsely populated area.

Dreadful Data Speeds on AT&T

I have been experiencing very awful data speeds (around 0.30mbps download) on my Nexus 4 with AT&T. I contacted AT&T and I am on the "Data plan for 4g Smartphones". Every other AT&T phone around me hits about 7mbps. I've changed my APNs and I just have no idea what to do right now.

Are you on a grandfathered unlimited plan? And if so, have you gone over 5gb of data? If so, you might just be throttled right now till your new billing cycle starts.
If "no" to the above, you got me.

Prepaid? There's a new APN for gophone, I get around 7.5mb/s on it compared to about 3 on the old one

When I contacted the AT&T Live Chat Support they told me that I was already on the 4G (HSPA+) data plan but not the LTE one. If you contact them and make sure they have the correct model number for your phone and the correct IMEI they should just switch it for you.

You can try to give them the IMEI for a 4G LTE phone and just tell them you're using that phone and that they need to switch you to the appropriate data plan.
