[Q] AT&T APN settings for non-smartphones - Networking

Howdy! I've got a question for ya
At&t offers 3g speeds for their non-smartphone devices. Does anybody know the APN settings for these devices?
I know the 2g APN settings, which are below:
Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN type: default,supl,agps,fota,dun
But after searching throughout this forum and on other parts of the internet, I haven't found any clues. I've got a quad band unlocked phone, and was hoping to take advantage of AT&T's 3g speeds at what i believe is their 1900MHz spectrum.
Thanks!
Brian

Anyone? The answer to this question seems so elusive, maybe it's more technical than I think.

If I'm not mistaken the APN should be wap.cingular.com
Not wap.cingular

It's just wap.cingular, i tried with .com and lost internet access
Also, it sorta looks like the answer to the question I posted it as elusive as I thought. Maybe it's more technical than I understand it to be. If anyone has info, I'd love to hear it, thanks!

I find those don't work with MMS on the Atrix, so the question did have meret. I found a single entry APN that does data and MMS pefectly. Kill any APN's you have and only input whats listed leave the rest bank.

Solution for MMS sending difficulties anyone?

Wheel just keeps a spinnin and spinnin!
Wonder if it has to do with apn settings? They do indicate mms and Internet on the bottom setting.
Any suggestions appreciated? Who wants to be able to create these cool notes and not be able to send??
whats your plan, per or post pay, and what apn settings did you use, there are a lot of threads which address this.
I have a GoPhone $50 unltd.with apns suggested for this.
I DID walk in to att with my Note, and said cust service suggested I ask for a new sim cars and got a 4G card (vs the designated GoPhone) one, and that's when the problems started now that I think about it.
So my apn needs might have changed.
Ill have to play around with them.
Network speeds are way better...just no MMS.

definitely do not disclose to att that you have a smartphone.
I have the 50/month unlimited voice/text/web/data gophone att plan and my speeds are very good. i cant compare to network speed but im coming from tmous3g and it is close.
i registered the sim card in an older nokia e72, then once it worked fully, i swapped it into my gnote. not sure if att will catch the data usage and ding me for the overage as if it were a smartphone, but until that happens this is a brilliant workaround.

Question: I have the same APN settings as you just posted on my SGS 2, just curious what average speeds are you getting on G Note? I am getting about 3 mgps downld, 1.1 upload.
I tried to change the apn to different settings and no speed difference. Is this setting faster on G nOte?
Thank you

4g apn
there is another thread that list an APN just for the 4g sim from att. search for that thread.
You got off topic
The question was about MMS not working on the Note, not about your plans. Please stick to the topic in order to help this person
I was having issues with my mms as well. I tried multiple apn settings but nothing. What finally fixed it was inputting the apn settings below in the go SMS application itself. And using those apn settings on the phone. My speeds are not as good as a couple of the other apns but I now have working mms and fully functional phone. I pulled the apn settings off of my infuse.

I'm also on AT&T and for some reason my APN has changed a couple of times on it's own. . In fact it just happened earlier today and I had the exact same problem as you. For some reason the MMS port was blank so I changed that back to 80. Also there was info in the username and password and I deleted both out. It worked again right after I made those changes.
I can give you the rest of my settings if those changes don't work for you. I'm using the settings that have been posted for AT&T unlimited data.
I copied the settings out of my brothers cappy, and finally got MMS working. Settings in the other thread weren't working for me. Im getting 3-7Mbs down and a MB up. Im post paid, with a 4G sim and so called "unlimited data".

Any one ATT 4G+ plans who are actually seeing those speeds?

Even if your on their bonafide 4G+ plan their system doesn't recognize the device as a 4G+ device anyway so you'd only get they're crap "4G" speeds anyway correct?
Anyone out there on those regular ATT plans (vs prepaid)?
I'm on the grandfathered unlimited 4G plan & I see 3-6MB down & 500-1MB up on avg on H+.

Could you share your APN settings? Seems to be so many out there. I'm also Grandfathered unlimited. It would be appreciated!
Did you just bring the Note into the store?
Did they have to do any special provisioning for you to access their '+' network?

I got 7 Mbit down and 2 Mbit up the other day at my friend's house in Austin, TX, U.S. I only get about 1.5 down and 1 up at my house, though. I'm using the 4g APN settings. There are only two sets of APN settings for AT&T; see my recent past posts for them.

That's not H+ speeds. I have been getting those speeds on my iPhone 4 since it came out.
Confusing
I don't think anyone actually knows what the correct APN settings are, they seem to be all over the place. On one post I found this one which claims to have an unlimited plan and very good speeds. Does anyone actually know and have numbers to back up?

so i finally got my att working withh H+ but the settings that did it for were not from here, but actually the settings from my CM7 ATRIX! i bolded the 2 things different in mine, this is all too confusing with me on why this works, now i am going to wait for ICS and that leather flip case everyone one enjoy this phone!!!!!!

Halp please
Is activating the sim ON a dumbphone necescary if we are using custome apn/settings?
Ive never done this but, isnt it more likely to be flagged if ANYTHING is different from activation phone to GNOTE?
I want to just buy a SIM from ATT claiming I have a GOPHONE ? and that would require ?"medianet" will that work?
AND obviously if this fails I buy a Straight Talk phone with SIM?

Midwest owners

Wondering if anyone here live in Minnesota mainly but i also want to get a general idea for att customers using the international note in the Midwest and what data speeds you get and apn configuration? I can never really pass 1.5 down and 1up ... whether default apn or the ones from the att apn thread.

I live in Wisconsin and get 4 down and 2 up. Did you go into settings/networks/mobile networks and click on find network, it should find a network then register on it.

[Q] Speedtest.net and Nexus 4 problem

I have the Speedtest.net app on my Nexus 4 and ever since I got the phone I can't properly run a test my ATT speeds. On Wifi it works great but when I turn off Wifi, Speedtest freaks out and it either gives me a very high ping around 260ms and the download is ALWAYS 0.01Mbps and upload stays around 0.5Mbps or sometimes it won't even connect and gives me error but I do get an IP and I can surf the web so it's not a connection issue.
I've attached a screenshot of what it looks like.
My main question is why can't it pick up a regular download speed? I never had this problem with my Galaxy Nexus.
Thanks
Probably the proxy settings in your APN. Remove those and you should be good. Post up the settings from the APN you're using if you're not sure what to edit.

Delete everything out of the Proxy setting. [Edit - you can delete the data out of the Port entry directly below Proxy as well]
I would guess that AT&T probably blocks or throttles this on their side to control bandwidth.
Yup, that did it, but wow I'm getting some really crappy results.. under 1Mbps
If your account is provisioned for HSPA+ you'll probably get better speeds using the phone or pta APN. There are a couple recent threads discussing this. I'll link later if you can't find anything.

you should get around 5-7 mbps, and MMS works correctly (both sending and receiving)
If these settings DO NOT work, then you need to call AT&T and have them upgrade your data plan to allow 4G! This will be free of charge.

No no no, don't do this or use those settings.
OP, you didn't mention that you are on a MEdia Net plan (dumb phone plan) and that is confusing the people trying to help you. Any time you mention cellular issues, you should specify the plan you are using.
Now, OP I can tell from your APN that you ARE on a MEdia Net plan. Next time, I would recommend you search the subforum for MEdia Net it will bring you to this thread, where the issue has been identified and resolved.
I posted on page 3 regarding the issue, which uses the same resolution that bedoig prescribed: delete the entry for proxy.
Now, being that you are on the MEdia Net plan, you won't be able to get speeds above 875KB/s down (7Mbps), even on HSPA+:15. AT&T apparently caps all dumb phone plans to that bandwidth. You won't get LTE and the phone/PTA APNs will not work for you. Those are smartphone APNs, so you should only use the default APN (which was automagically selected for you) but you can delete proxy to use bandwidth tests.
You could switch to a more expensive DataPro plan to get marginally faster speeds, but you'll be capped at 2GB/month and there's a chance you'll be caught tethering. I don't recommend you switch to DataPro for the very slight and unnoticeable upgrade in speed. AT&T doesn't monitor data use on MEdia Net plans so you can use well over 2GB on your current plan without issue. As I've mentioned in that thread and in several of my posts, I've once used over 12GB in a month; tethering for myself, my roommate, as our many guests because Comcast was being sheisty.
Now you've got all the info you need, and see that it was already available in another thread. I would recommend this thread for deletion because it adds clutter, not value. If people search for this answer, they will be linked to both threads.
Thats not necessarily true, my apn was originally the wap cingular one as well because I was using a nexus one prior, upon changing to the 'phone' apn, everything worked.
Depends how much the op is currently paying for data plan I guess if those settings don't work.

Well if it is going by plan, I have the grandfathered 'unlimited' plan and the APN settings seemed to work for me. Yup, 12Mbps down here!
I got another problem. Once I do a test and the speedtest uses GPS. GPS doesn't switch off and kills my battery unless I do a reboot.
I'm running AOKP, so it could be a problem related to that.
That's insane
