Tmobile APN for ANdroid on SD and ENERGY on ROM?

I have an htc hd2 that has energy on rom. and Android 2.2 froyostone on SD card.
When I launch Android from the SD card it runs smooth and I can make phone calls and send txts but I can only access the Internet using WIFI
When i turn off Wifi I get a "network error" Tmobile has 3 data plans
Smartphones
Androd
Black Berry
I have of course the Smartphone data plan. and it works fine when I use the phone in Windows mobile mode but when I launch Android I can not connect
1.-DO I have to have an Android plan to use the andrroid? Is there a way to work this around
2.- Is there an app that will allow me to use The Smartphones Data plan with the android
3.- Is there a way I can use the android plan on WM6.5 if I switch to it?

I have the same problem and I can't download or send MMS.

answer
My problem was that I had no APN settings, Enter this settings on the Settings/Wireless & Networks/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names (press the menu)

TMOBILE is an idiot!
They Told me they had to change my plan to an Android Plan. Good thing I didnt let them do it.
ANDROID PHONES WILL WORK WITH A SMARTPHONE PLAN which I have and Pay $20 per month.

Turn wifi off to send/recieve mms.

I am having the same problem and settings are correct. Just says "ERROR". Any suggestions?

Just wanted to point out that these are the correct APN settings that allow access to EDGE, 3G, and HSPA networks.
The information was originally provided by a T-Mobile tech on another website.
Others that are listed in the forums allow 3G and HSPA, but not EDGE.

Tmo is full of it, check your apn
I rarely post or reply but this is a subject that I've been dealing with for a while. I'm a former suncom customer with a grandfathered plan and every time I try to go for an upgrade or call with a issue the first response I get is it's my plan. Dont let Tmo sucker you into a more expensive plan. I used to unlock and flash cell phones for a living. Now I do it for myself and close friends/ family. I've had a at least one of each of the following on my plan and working perfectly... blackberry storm 1, tour, curve unlocked and bold. I've also had the mytouch 3g, g1, nuron, lg secret, and I currently use a HD2 dual booting winmo and android. I change almost daily and the only time I'm not able to receive internet or text is when my apn settings aren't correct. I bought my first HD2 outright and when I was availible for upgrade they tried to tell me it wouldn't work on my plan (unlimited net and tether for blackberry) after I told the rep to check my account and they saw I had been using one for three months I left the rep, the reps supervisor, and a tech speechless and they gave me my HD2 free of charge for the trouble. This was when they were $150.

I added a new APN called "My APN" and selected that instead on the default TMO APN. Other then not having 3G coverage in my area, my data connection works fine. There is a conflict occassionally if you have the WiFi up and running and try sending/recieving texts w/pic or large files. Simply turn off the WiFi. Hope this helps.

I've tried SEVERAL different APN settings for T-Mobile US and none have worked...
Until I came across yours. Everything is working great now. The only problem I had before was MMS, they work great.
Thank you so much for the info
I would like to ad as well that T-Mobile WILL NOT give you the APN settings. I fought tooth and nail yesterday with a rep but he refused to tell me what the settings where suppose to be.

the smartphone plan works... but t-mobile changed there plans around november.. it a general plan that coverages i think they said any smartphone.. now its the 4g plan they have now even if u dont need 4g lol.. it include everything 4g 3g and so on.. which i am using now and it works on both WM6.5 and android... my phone is now hardly on 3g it gets H which is faster than 3g.. i am only on 3g in not so good areas lol and edge in remote places.. i love it
doing a 7mb test.. i got 7671 kbps doing a 5mb test i got 13333 kbps

AT&T unlimited plan flagged after minutes in P6800

Got my P6800 today...
I've read here (and elsewhere online) that I could simply use my current AT&T SIM (unlimited grandfathered data plan with iPhone 3gs) and as long as I don't go crazy with BW, it should go unnoticed.
So I did (just for a couple of minutes to make sure it works), and a few hours later I got a text msg and an email from AT&T suggesting that I call them to get "an appropriate" data plan.
So it looks like they flag a tablet right away and not based on usage. When I signed up (before the age of tablets) I don't remember them specifying anything that prevents me from switching but I'm sure it's somewhere in the fine print.
I'm not a heavy data user but I don't want to give the unlimited plan unless I have to. Would be happy to hear some thoughts an recommendations on how to handle it.
Thanks
O
P.S
the 7.7 is awesome. just sux that AT&T ruined my happy day with that email :-(

Have they actually throttled your speeds? I'm not your lawyer, but you could just ignore it for the time being.

Past experience
I had the same experience last year with the Tab 7.0, with phone capabilities. I had an unlimited plan with old iPhone. I had to switch to I believe 4G per month, plus tethering cost about $10.00 more, once I did, never a concern or a problem since. It is their way to eliminate all unlimited plans.
At least that was my experience. I believe when it occurred when folks got the 7.0 w/phone (European version and custom ROM) if you don't respond, soon your data will be cutoff, so then you have to call or pull Sim card. May not be true today, but it was last year, happened to me.

What APN were you using..? Was this from an iphone 3g,3gs,4,4s..? If im correct when you get an iphone 4s the account is provisioned for hspa+. I am using a sim from an iphone 4 and have yet to receive a message. So it seems strange.. ive had my tab for a few weeks already...

Greedy bastards, thank god the merger didn't go through. I can imagine how many people will jump ship once the T-Mobile - att roaming agreement goes through and all those iphone users join T-Mobile
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Been using ATT Prepaid for about 2 weeks and no problem with that.

mine is a 3gs iphone. Not pre paid card.
Dont think they changed anything. The email said i need to call them to get a suitable plan.
I dont stream and never passed 2g on my iphone so i should be ok with a 3-4 g plan but it still feels like a rip off.
I doubt ignoring it will make it go away. Im just wondering if there is any chance of arguing about it and win...

Try adding an APN named Broadband with APN Broadband (leave all other settings as default).

Broadband is the APN for the ipad.. i think if they are auditing that APN he would get flagged for sure as his device in the database should be an iphone.

So, would it be possible to add whatever APN is used for the original iPhone 3gs and (maybe) bypass their flag?

I'm using the Broadband APN with the SIM from my LTE hotspot and I've received no warnings from AT&T. Now, it is a business account so maybe I've got some leeway.

Your on the radar already to a degree so i cant say for sure but the wap.cingular apn would be the one you need... Just verify the settings below because i am going off my head....

So far, I guess I've been lucky. The most I've received is a warning that I'm in the top 5% of data users, and that I might be throttled. I have a little more than a week left in my billing period and I'm currently at just over 4gb of usage.

What pisses me off is i pay a couple hundred a month for 2 unlimited voice & data sims and 2 unlimited data sims.. you would think they would want the business. But they seem to be hell bent on the unlimited user witch hunt..

Looks like the APN is already set to wap.cingular (attached)
I wonder what made them flag me right away. Oh well...

It could be the UNLIMITED DATA plan... It would make sense they audit UNLIMITED DATA accounts to make sure you don't "change devices" so the minute the IMEI is changed its sends an alert and an SMS is dispatched to you.. i am just speculating.. i havent tried my UNLIMITED DATA sim in my 7.7 as i keep it in my Galaxy Nexus, but i'm going to try next week and see..

I've had my ATT SIM in my 7.7 several different times making calls, texts and using lots of data and haven't got the text/email yet...

is it an iPhone unlimited SIM?
can you post your APN settings?
Thanks

Yeah that was going to be my next question too. If you were on just a smartphone unlimited plan, I suppose you should be ok. That's what I'm on and I haven't run into any issues (yet), apart from supposedly being throttled for being in the top 5%, but that's not the same I don't think.
P.S. I just called in to customer service, and apparently, based on my IMEI, they know that I'm using an "unlocked Samsung GT-P6800," but this has not affected my account in any way at this time. I am still on a smartphone unlimited plan, and thus far I haven't been throttled (yet).
Interesting...

Just spent an hour on the phone with AT&T until some manager put me on hold for more than half an hour (on purpose?) to check the price of the 3gb plan
For now I told them to keep me on the unlimited plan (will keep using the iPhone) until I decide what to do.
Since the 7.7 will only work on AT&T, I guess I don't have many options...
Not a big fan of AT&T at the moment...

AT&T Apn desperate help

So im trying figure out how to get the best speeds with my N4. Always seeing the posts about how ATT doesnt auto detect these nexus devices on the right plan. So i called up, had them provision my account. Althought i dont think he knew what he was doing, he asked for my sim card number and said i was on a 4g plan. Looking at my account on MyaTT it shows my phone has Data 3GB for smartphones 4g. Im guessing thats the correct plan.
Although when i try all these APN settings people suggest i cant get a data connection with them. Trying to use the LTE\pta apn i never get a data connection. Only when i use the Wap.Cingular one. Using speed test app i get 2.5 download and 2 upload on average. People on here report much higher then that.
Any ideas?

My N4 sometimes have problems connecting to network. It shows that it's connected and I can see the small arrows but speedtest shows network communication issues. I came from LG Thrill with grandfathered unlimited data. I can use both wap.cingular and phone APN. wap.cingular tops out at just below 8mpbs while phone tops out at just over 14mbps on a good day. On bad days, both are around 5-50kbps with over 5 second ping time..

Got the dreaded ATT text early this morning that they switched me from the $10 non smartphone data plan to the $30/3Gb data pro plan.
I got good 4-7mbps speeds while on the $10 data plan. I live in Orlando and have both LTE and HSPA plus. I can hit 10-12 mpbs when I forcedy iPhone 5 to hspa from LTE.
I was using the nexus 4 on my space line with the $10 data plan.
Unfortunately selling the nexus 4 cause I don't want to pay the $30 data plan. I already pay $30 for iPhone 5 data plan so not good idea to pay another $30 for data.
Just selling nexus 4 for at cost. Don't care about ripping people off.
I hate u ATT,

Unless you have an LTE plan, you wont be able to connect to a PTA APN. You'll want to use an HSPA+ phone APN for best speeds. Remember that not all coverage areas are going to see equal data speeds. Netowrk development and congestion are factors when it comes to real world data speeds.

So should i tell ATT i want a LTE plan? Am i on the right plan based on what my myATT account is showing? Everyone who has a N4 is saying they do get a data connection when selecting the LTE APN, so shouldnt i too?
Should i do this and give htem an Atrix 4G IMEI to re provision my account? http://gdgt.com/discuss/how-i-was-finally-provisioned-for-4g-on-my-atandt-galaxy-nexus-i8z/

Net10 Sim Issues.....Anybody Else?

I have had my Nexus 4 about a week and a half now. I am trying to decide what service to go with, and I have tired a T-Mobile prepaid sim and am currently attempting to use Net10 Sim with an ATT micro-sim purchased from Best Buy.
I have been having so many data issues with Net10, I would say it is not even usable. My APN settings are below, but doing some internet searches, it seems like there are Data connectivity issues with Net10? I was just going to see if anybody else has experienced this and if they found a way to tweek the APN settings to make this work. Net10 support reps have yet to offer any solution. I go for periods without any data at all while my signal is blue with an H (I am typically on HSPA+ 15 or 10). I cannot use many of my apps that require data and I have to refresh websites multiple times to get it to load.
Do the same issues exist on Straight Talk with the ATT Micro-Sim? I did not have any issues like this with the T-Mobile prepaid sim so I do not believe it is a radio issue. I am trying to find out about ATT through either straight-talk or Net10 since T-Mobile does not have a signal in my wife's school. Thanks!

I've updated this setting. Data is very slow and I am still unable to use some apps that work fine on WiFi such as SatelliteGuys (works after I try several times), XDA (haven't used successfully) & SpeedTest (doesn't work says network communication issues) & DishRemote App (can't login even). Google music seems to work and I can send texts, will try an mms soon. I'm really thinking this is an issue with Net10. I've barely used any data so I don't think I am throttled. Really bad service thus far.
Assuming Straight Talk has the same issues with the ATT service? BTW, I am in the Kansas City metro area, full strength.

i used to have net10 and on some days the internet wouldn't work

Any data interruption, I would say it's AT&T service in your area. NET10 is the same as Straight Talk, once you set your APN and data works, it just works. You may want to check by borrowing a friend's SIM Tmo, AT&T or any compatible network, set the right APN, test, troubleshoot and compare. Another issue could be your radio.
If you input the first proxy, some apps/things won't work and may be blocked from access i.e. speedtest

[Q] AT&T iPhone 5 w/ LTE to Nexus 4

Hello all,
I've had a heck of a time to get my Nexus 4 data speeds where they should be.
I originally had, and still have, an iPhone 5 with the nanoSIM. I purchased a nanoSIM to microSIM adapter on Amazon and slipped it into my Nexus. The WAP settings allow SMS/MMS & phone to work, but data is dismal at best. I get all of 0.1Mbps/10Kbps per second. It's awful.
I've scoured the web, XDA-developers, Android Central, etc., all with no luck. I've got at least 5 APN's that I've tried and tested, rebooting my phone after each APN switch, and the speedtest (dot) net app still shows 0.1Mbps/10Kbps per second download.
My current settings are:
If you have an iPhone 5 LTE plan shared with a new Nexus 4 and want to swap SIMS without calling AT&T just create the following APN on your Nexus and you'll be fully operational on both devices.

These are my current settings.
Is there anything I need to do to provision my SIM to work with the Nexus 4? Is it because my data plan is an "iPhone" data plan as far as AT&T is concerned? Help!
