My Samsung focus was temporarily running on a tmobile sim, so I had it set to tmobile in the network profile app. Well my AT&T sim is now active, but with that in, the network profile app gives me a choice between "ATT" and "AT&T"
Which one should I pick for AT&T USA?

ATT is "AT&T USA" for me. AT&T might be &Tmobile
Awesome thanks! ATT seems to be working like a charm

Ok, so I would really like to transplant my micro sim from my iPad, seeing as though I got the $29.99 unlimited plan & pop it in a T-Mobile Tab. Would this work? I've checked & the T-Mo Tab does support At&t's frequencies...
It's not a micro sim card, just a regular SIM. So not sure if you can get an adapter to make it fit?
It's a regular SIM card. I tried but the tab asked me for the unlock code. I guess that's another dead end. I talked to tmobile and they told me I have to wait 40 days for the unlock code. Any ideas?

1) you need to get around T-mobiles SIM lock
2) the tab is 2G quadband, so GPRS will work. But you won't get 3G on AT&Ts frequencies
flashing a rom should disable simlock. am i right?
no it will not

Just FYI.

I tried it and my tab is now unlocked, but I cant get ATT to work. It connects and disconnects from the ATT net. I have played with the settings but no luck. Cant even get 3G with ATT. Help please!!

Have you set up the AT&T APN info?
Settings/Wireless and Networks/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names/(menu New APN) then enter the AT&T network info, which you can find with a quick web search.
Until you have that information, it can't connect to the internet. The T-Mobile APN is the only APN that device knows at the moment, and even that is hidden when using a SIM from a different network.
to get your tmobile Tab to work on att u have to settings>wireless and network>mobile network. then change Network Mode from AUTO to GSM Only
then you can use this on ATT with EDGE internet
What about putting an iPad microsim with adapter in the AT&T galaxy tab? Would any tweaking need to be done? Would 3G work or just EDGE?
I have no interest in voice on the G Tab.
thanks
I did some checking and was able to verify that the iPad microsim in the AT&T g tab will work. The poster didn't specificy if it was 3G or edge but I'm guessing it was 3G.
You will need to use "broadband" as the APN name for the iPad SIM data plan.
You may also need to choose "Supl" as the APN Type, had this issue with the Dell Streak,
Edge would work until i went to use Google Maps then it wold disconnect.
You will also want to set to 2G only or GSM as the US TMobile Tab doesnt have ATT frequiencies for 3G

Hey guys,
I'm using AT&T Service on my HTC HD2 w/ Android. Everything's great except for the lack of 3G (since the bands AT&T use are different from T-Mobile).
So I was thinking, what if there was a way to roam onto T-Mobile's 3G bands?
But the thing is, I go to the Network Operators list and I only see AT&T. But I know there is T-Mobile service here because my relatives have T-Mobile and do get service here.
Here's a screenshot of the Network Operators screen:
Any ideas?
Not a huge deal as I am near Wi-Fi most of the time, but it would be nice to be able to use 3G

Get a sim card.

I don't want to switch providers. I'm more than happy with AT&T's voice service.
Set your phone to MANUAL NETWORK SEARCH, then scan. T-Mobile should then show up in the list but you won't be able to access the TMO network with your AT&T card.
T-Mobile and AT&T do not have roaming agreements. You will need a T-Mobile SIM to access T-Mobile's network.
It's there somehow that my dvp could be hsdpa locked ir 3g locked, my sin gets 3g icon on the top on other phones bit there is no way I can get it on mine. How could that be?
If you are on mango:
Settings -> Cellular -> Scroll down and check (slide) the 3G connection
I have the 3G option ON.

Updated to mango a few days ago, didn't tried without mango.
I guess is oem unlocked, no AT&T or t-mobile branding or apps related or nothing.
I'm in a carrier on Costa Rica, they use here HSDPA 850mhz, ALSO tried a wp7 samsung focus at&t branded but unlocked and it GETS 3G and high speed internet with my sim!!! please help!!
Which dell venuo pro do you have. Do you have the ATT or the TMO version? TMO isn't going to work with your provider.
How do I know that? I don´t see anything on the hardware or software related to AT&T or T-mobile or any else, its oem unlocked I guess.
I got and app called "System View" it says under hardware/network/ 2G GSM 850/900/1800/1900, 3G HSDPA 850/1900/2100
I must be missing something
could it be a defective unit??
Dial ##634#
Slide open the keybaord
tap on the blank area of the screen
enter in qwertyuiop
Click on protocol
enter in *#6336#
If you see TMO on that screen you likely have a Tmobile version of the phone and it is not compatible with your carrier. The ATT version is what you wanted.
yes I have the TMO option, and I thought every dvp has the TMO option on the EM. Now I feel ripped off with this phone, are you sure just Tmobile has TMO option on EM?
If the answer is yes then, I'm selling my DVP, someone needing one?
Thanks for your time by the way.
Ever since I upgraded to Mango I haven't had 3g either. It has no 3g APN settings at all. Does anybody have those settings?

So I just did this and it does say TMO. This phone was purchased through AT&T though. I wasn't the person who it was through but it was purchased from AT&T. Does that just mean I'm screwed? Before I upgraded to Mango, it would sometimes go to 3g but only for a little bit then switch right back.
Hmm well I was wrong. My Bad.
Well can somebody post their AT&T 3g APN settings?
I always search APNs names for Costa RIcan provider on google,
For at&t I found this:
APN_______________User Name___________________________Password
wap.cingular [email protected]_________________cingular1
[email protected]_____________________cingular1
Custom____________ APN-specific_______________________ APN-specific
http://developer.att.com/developer/forward.jsp?passedItemId=1700008
But still, I have my APN configured, and I'm not getting 3G, how is that "System Info" app gets that bands information?, its the only source I have, and even it says 850mhz for hsdpa I can't get it to work here.
That doesn't match the fields my phone has. These are the fields
APN
User name
Password
Proxy server/URL
Proxy port
I just use APN in CR, no user or password, neither proxy.
So I got tired of trying to figure this out, so I deleted the APN completely (which had a scary warning). Instantly after that I got an "H" at the top. The speed difference is noticeable already. Maybe after I leave work it'll go to 3G. We'll see. But one things for sure. The settings it had after that update were holding it back.
I'm having same issue w/ T-Mobile's DVP on T-Mobile's network.
I'm using Simple Mobile which uses T-Mobile's Network & I can't seem to get the 3G Data to work.
Any advice on Fixing this or config. setting I need to input? The Phone is Unlock BTW.
I've tried restoring to nodo from mango official, hard reset the phone twice also, nothing, the only difference now is that the intro pic to the EM app was a cup, now is a dog ?
Got this error message when using a TMo SIM in a Verizon G2. I've only seen one thread about this for the G2.
Verizon G2s are SIM unlocked, right? So it shouldn't be a problem? I can put the TMo SIM in a TMo branded S2 and get full bars. I even tried the same SIM in a Verizon Galaxy S3 and got full bars.
I'm on VS98012B
As a follow up, I went into available networks and this time, TMobile at AT&T show up. I tried setting it to WCDMA and GSM but it wont register on the TMobile network.
This is a location that I can normally get LTE.
The VERIZON model is GSM unlocked. Says your on 12B so you should be good. You should be able to just pop and go. I don't have much experience with it but you would have to select GSM in the Network Settings.
Has anyone who bought the g4 play Verizon version noticed the unlock policy says either use the phone for one year or make $75 in payments? I'm wondering if Verizon actually unlocks the device will it enable the 3g bands they are there but they're blocked. Has anyone actually had Verizon unlock this device?
How do you know that the 3G HSPA+ bands are present? The specs I've seen only list quad-band GSM, dual-band CDMA, and LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 13.
Ohk I got my Moto g4 unlocked and I actually got it to dial out the problem is I think because my phone is still on it kept taking me to Verizon my service was T-cdma and I couldn't find where I could input APN settings

I got the code from Verizon all u have to do is make $75 in payments and they'll unlock it but I tried it with at&t and T-Mobile and with at&t u don't get the same options as u do with T-Mobile so if it was gonna work T-Mobile would be the best bet to try

I notice that you have advanced 4g lte.
When I tried to get that option through Verizon they told me it was not available on this phone.
Obviously the phone is capable of this feature.
Did you get advanced 4g lte after unlocking it with the code on Verizon or because you are using a T-Mobile sim?

Only when I insert a T-Mobile sim it doesn't even pop up when I insert an at&t sim and if u remove the battery while it's on the charger and insert any other sim it automatically greys out

Okay, so the phone has the capability but only through T-Mobile it seems.
Verizon and AT&T must have some sort of block on their network so the feature can't be used on the xt1609. Why, idk.
Makes no sense to me.
In order to be able to dial out you have to change the CDMA Subscription to NV if not you'll get "sim error or no sim" but the calls are still over 1x. Also for whatever reason different sims make the phone act differently. At&t sims only give u an option for APN, if you use a T-Mobile sim long as you change the network mode from LTE to 3g or 2g you get options to change cmda subscription, APN, advanced 4glte, search for networks etc. My network was always T-Cdma on T-Mobile long as I changed to NV while on at&t no signal pops in at all

I'm gonna try again once my month is up if I'm not mistaken CDMA is programmed in the phone so that could be a reason I'm having trouble but I also thought that if I remove the sim the CDMA portion would still work which is not the case but either way all my calls are routed to Verizon

Have you ever tried the method which worked with the prepaid Verizon Moto E phone https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...-to-verizon-moto-e-2015-gsm-network-t3098953?
I haven't tried it but I think I read somewhere that it didn't work as a matter of fact it doesn't work
