I've been running phones on medianet unlimited for over 7 years now. In the past I saw threads where the original Nexus and Nexus S were detected by AT&T and were forced to use smartphone plans. Before purchasing this phone I wanted to check if this version of the Nexus was also detected as a smartphone. I've been using an international galaxy Note for a year on the $10 medianet plan and was hoping the Nexus 4 could also work on medianet.
Thanks
No, sorry

There are some that are using medianet with their smartphones.. You need to change the apn settings to whatever they are for medianet.. If I run by the forums with the information I will post it here for you.

I think the question is not in th APN used, but if AT&T recognizes IMEI number as smartphone - if it does, it will force data plan on you.
I've been usin Nokia phones for several years across the family and haven't paid more than $10/month for unlimited internet...
Wonder if the same trick will work with Nexus 4...
Anyone n the know - could you please post?
when I get my N4, I plan on switching to medianet $15/month unlimited data. Hopefully they wont recognize the IMEI
Medianet plan does not work with nexus 4..just came from att store..and rep put medianet plan for me..but when i got home..i recived text from att that i have smartphone.
Been running MediaNet all day on my N4, got a smartphone prompt on my GNex a few times...a quick call into customer service fixes it right away.

That's great! I was wondering if you could report here occasionally for a few weeks to keep us updated on whether you still have medianet or if you got switched. Would be much appreciated!

Will do, I am sure that even if they change it I will be able to get customer service to change it again. Never had a problem with them questioning me.
i call att and got medianet back...does anyone if it runs on HSPA+? any APN setting for it?

It is, you can find it by going to settings>about phone>status and look under mobile network type.
If your connection is idle it will say HSPA:10 but fire up Pandora or any music service and check, it will say HSPA:15
Just ordered the gn4 for the gf, hopefully the dumb phone data plan will still work for it
Yeah definitely hoping this will not get flagged and continue working. The phone has amazing specs and is dirt cheap. Definitely much cheaper than the HTC One X and has pretty much the same specs but for half the price.

Thanks for the info about calling customer service! What do you usually tell them? I just got flagged on my gnex and will getting my nexus 4 soon. Should I say something along the lines of "I don't have a smart phone."

AT&T doesn't seem to know this phone's a smartphone. When I switched my SIM from my Nexus One to the Nexus 4, my 2GB DataPro plan was removed and changed to whatever their dumbphone unlimtied plan was.
It was a pain in ass to get them to switch it back to a 2GB DataPro w/ LTE plan. Without the LTE plan, you don't have access to the HSPA+ APN, so you'll be limited to 1mbit downstream max. People have been getting ~3-5mbit (or higher I think) on the HSPA+ APN.

Where'd you hear that the MediaNET cap is 1Mbps? AFAIK, it's 7Mbps. That's what the GSIII forums say. I can't even run Speedtest.net (says I'm getting 0.8KB/s...) so I can't verify, but I'm pretty sure I'm getting over 1Mbps. In fact, the Galaxy S came from still gets 400KB/s (~3.2Mbps) so I'm pretty sure that MediaNET goes above 1Mbps.

I didn't hear that MEdiaNet was throttled, but I did experience something similar to your situation. While on "wap.cingular", Speedtest.net would act strange(9kbps downstream, ~1mbit up). I went to the store and got a new MicroSIM I couldn't get anything faster than 1Mbit. I called in, told them the Nexus 4 was an LTE phone so I could get provisioned for the HSPA+ APN's. They told me to power cycle (I just switched APN's from "wap.cingular" to "pta"), and I immediately saw 3Mbit.
So given this, I can only deduce that whatever plan I was provisioned for when I was taken off my 2GB DataPro was capped at 1Mbit. Given your findings, I'm concluding that anyone that had 3G service(MEdiaNet) before they rolled out HSPA+/LTEhad an unthrottled 3G service and anyone that gets it today gets throttled("Featurephone Data").
Also, the fact your Speedtest.net app is acting funny is usually a sign you're on the gimped plan that I got auto-switched to("Featurephone Data").
I can only guess and share my experiences -- since it seems the AT&T monster and their inner workings are far more complex then I gave them credit for. The same wap.cingular APN I was on, doesn't seem to be the same one those GS III guys are on.
Tbh, I don't really care for this thread. I can see that I'm getting HSPA+:15 when I use cellular data, and my transfer speeds are as good as they were with my old phone. I'm only paying $10 for almost 3G (US 3G is the worst 3G...), and ~400KB/s is fast enough for my usage. I can even streaming HD Netflix; I don't, but it's a good benchmark.
Also, the MediaNET plans are not monitored for consumption at all, so I have a true unlimited plan. When I first moved into a new apartment last October, Comcast was being stupid and couldn't get me internet for 3 weeks. I tethered for myself, my roommate, and all of our many daily guests. >10GB down during that time, at least 2GB up, and not a word from AT&T. Until AT&T gets a Nexus 4 variant, I'm not worried about my IMEI being recognized as a smartphone and automatically jacked up to an overpriced 2GB plan with faster speeds but marginal real-world benefit.

There's something we can wholeheartedly agree on. AT&T, y u so evil?
So I bought a Nexus 4 from the T-Mobile store( I know, dont say anything) and I am messing about with the apn settings trying to get a hold of AT&T's HSPA+ network. Right now all I have is HSPA and I know I should be getting faster speeds. If anyone can help me out that would be great!
Thanks

Tried them and I still cannot get HSPA+ speeds.
Im using the PTA apn and seeing pretty good speeds, although all I get is the H instead of the H+. How do we get the H+?
I'm getting H+ out the box. But mines is from the play store.

I was going to start a thread but it seems I've found the answer to my question here: The T-Mobile Nexus 4 data DOES work on AT&T networks w. Now my question to all of you people using a T-MOBILE Nexus 4 on AT&T: what kind of actual download speeds are you getting? I know its dependent on area, coverage etc, but I'm still curious as to peoples experiences.

As an At&t customer in central jersey, I get glimpses of hspa+:15 service that never really sticks. At home i get 6d:1.5up and at work I get 3d:1.1up. Don't really know if that is considered hspa+ speeds for the area.. but the phone doesnt really show it. My imei isnt correct on att's end and is still saying I have a note and I don't know if that affects it.
called support and they couldn't identify my imei and wanted to put me on a dumb phone plan, no thanks (unlimited lte plan I am on I will not lose).
does anyone know if the imei matters when connecting to the hspap towers? when will att update their systems to know our phones are smart phones?
I am using the pta apn as that seems to work decently. Is hspa+ service bad in central jersey? I had lte on my note in my areas.
I've been an AT&T customer since 2002, I had a nokia phone before getting the iPhone, then the iPhone 3G, 3Gs, 4, 4s, and finally jumped to Android with the N4. I'm currently on the iPhone Data Pro 4GB plan and just got my N4 yesterday.
I promptly popped the sim card into the phone and I'm able to make voice calls and sometimes use the data. thing is, the browsing on the cell netowork feels slow, and i often get a "No connection" dialogue.
I looked at my phone's status and it says that I have HSPA:10 for my network type.
I tried running speedtest.net, but it keeps timing out.
Any suggestions on how i should proceed from here?
Change your APN, you need the hspa+ one. I think you can only use the PTA if you have a Sim provisioned for LTE (which I have from my S3) and for everyone else they put you on the WAP.Cingular. APN.

I'm using the $30 5GB 4G T-Mobile plan with my Nexus 4. So, my comments are directed at T-Mobile users, and the way the Nexus generally reports it's network status. I've been running speedtests all morning/afternoon around Arlington, VA and Washington, DC. At first, I couldn't figure out why the phone kept saying HSPA when I knew HSPA+ was available. The answer is that the phone automatically bumps up to HSPA+ when you begin to upload/download data, and bumps down to HSPA to save battery. So, when you're idle you'll just see HSPA.
I downloaded Network Signal Info, and watched the net type field as I ran speed tests. Each time, after the test initiated, the speed bumped up to HSPA+21mbit. Once the speed test ends, it goes back to regular HSPA. It appears the application doesn't differentiate between 21 mbit and 42 mbit speeds, as I know I was getting 42 meg speeds in Washington, D.C. In Arlington, I was seeing 3-4 Mbit speeds, but as soon as I got into DC I got speeds of 8-15 Mbit down. T-Mobile also advertises that it has expanded the HSPA+42 service to D.C.
When actively using mobile date, the About > Status shows "HSPA+:15". When you data connection is idle or you're on wifi, you'll see "HSPA:10." You may also notice it changing when the phone appears to be idle, but I assume that's due to background data usage. I hope this is helpful.

As a former att employee in their tech department the imei number doesn't matter.. it just let then know what plans they can add to the device.. I had a flip phone when my skyrocket died.. it didn't matter as long as your account is provisioned for data. Whether LTE or media net

You might have to change your plan and get the 4g sim... You will still be able to keep your unlimited data when switching plans. Your are grandfathered in so they can't take it away.. I have switched my data a few times and have kept unlimited data.. make sure you let the person know helping you that you don't want to lose your unlimited data

Hello,
Sorry if this is redundant but I have searched for a while and I couldn't find anything.
Clearly alot of N4 users are using the $30 T-Mobile monthly 4G plan (http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/monthly-4g-plans) but the Google play N4 does not have 4g unlocked. I read somewhere that the T-Mobile plan is either 4G or EDGE speeds. Is that true, or will there be 3G speeds as well. In addition, will the method to unlock 4G on the N4 allow 4G for T-Mobile's monthly 4G.
tl;dr:
1. Is there 3G for the $30 Unlimited data T-Mobile Monthly 4G plan?
2. Can the N4 use the 4G if there is a network where I live?

T-Mobile's current "4G" is just HSPA+ branded as "4G". Some areas have HSPA+ 42 coverage which is not too far off from LTE speeds.
1. To answer your first question, there is 3G for the Montly4G plan. You can manually select your network type on the phone. If you want HSPA+, you can use that, or even EDGE if you want it. You can toggle that on your phone.
2. Yes, if the area in which you live has HSPA+ coverage you will be able to use it. Once T-Mobile starts rolling out their LTE network on the AWS band next year, your Nexus 4 will be able to use it.
3. There is no need to "unlock" the 4G.
4. It's super simple to set up your monthly4G plan. You don't even have to manually enter your APN settings.
5. Don't worry about speed. I can get ~22Mb/s down on HSPA+ :http://imgur.com/SBJt7. I can't tell the difference in speed between my iPhone 5 on AT&T LTE (~29Mb/s) and my Nexus 4. Speed is not an issue.
I activated mine a week ago so if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me.
Thanks s much for the quick and concise reply!
Now all I need is the N4 to be back in stock.
Holy ****. No disrespect to you, OP because it isn't your fault but this is a prime example of how the different branding of "4G" is confusing as **** to people. Glad you got your answers though OP

It's still there, hidden on the bottom left. They just switched the page layout around a bit. They did increase the micro SIM card price back to $10 though, instead of the $0.99 it was last month.
In regards to the OP's questions.
1) Yes

Grandfathered unlimited user: My Nexus is on it's way. I've been using a Note 2 as my driver. When I switch has anyone successfully stayed on the LTE plan or does their system throw you back to the HSPA plan? I want to try to argue that since the Nexus has quasi LTE it should stay on that plan.
(It's the throttling. When you are throttled on the LTE plan it drops you the HSPA, on HSPA it's rotten EDGE, the last time I checked. It's 2013. No one should have to do EDGE.)

I'm still on my ATT LTE plan and I've been using my N4 as my daily since Thanksgiving. Just don't take in in with u to get a new Sim card as the N4 needs a micro sim. Just cut it yourself and get a Sim converter if u jump between phones. My ATT LTE provisioned Sim card will work on the LTE PTA APN but it won't work as LTE speeds. I live and work right outside of Chicago which has LTE. From what I understand their system won't recognize the N4 which is fine and so it will just keep u on the plan u are on. I've heard stories of people taking their N4 into an ATT and getting put on a hspa plan. Then having to call into ATT customer service and giving them a LTE phones imei just to get their LTE back on their Sim card.

I bought a T-Mobile prepaid Sim to test drive and will probably switching from ATT LTE to T-Mobile HSPA+. If the coverage is right I'm getting around 10-12 Mbps on T-Mobile. That's plenty fast for my needs and also the unlimited data, freedom of pre paid sweetens the deal instead of ATT hspa.

Good info. The system has never automatically dropped you back? Are you manually going in and setting the LTE APN or selecting the option offered? I've had a nasty shock twice before when flopping SIM's. I plan on dropping the Note 2 micro straight into the N4.
The unlimited data plan combined with LTE is worth it's weight in gold.
I came from a Vivid on at&t with LTE unlimited. All I did was to copy my Vivid's APN exactly to the N4 and used a sim cutter to cut my sim down and I was good to go. As for throttling, I still get throttled after 5GB of data and it still knocks me down to 500kbps until my bill cycle starts over.

Nope never dropped me back In fact if I throw my Sim in my Skyrocket I still get LTE. I'm actually buying a HTC one X+ with LTE. Like I said before I don't get LTE but the AT&T PTA APN nets me that fastest speeds. It depends on your ROM which apns u get on default but u can always add any APN you want on any ROM. So like on PA I had to add the LTE APN to get those faster speeds.

Big question is did you go to 4.2.2?
If you don't want at&t to argue with you about whether it should have an LTE plan or not, your best bet is to activate the account with a device that is officially LTE capable, then just pop the sim card in the nexus 4 and don't tell them about it. AT&T will argue with their customers over the smallest details for absolutely no reason!!! That's why I cancelled my contract with them years ago. I can't take a company trying to argue over something in which they have NO CLUE, and try to force me into their school of thought.
What speed are you guys getting? I'd particularly like to hear from anyone in the Phoenix area. I routinely get .5 Mbps down, sometimes up to 4 Mbps, but pretty rarely. This with full bars, a verified 4G provisioned data plan (spoofed with GS3 and even tried Optimus G), and a multitude of APN settings. When I try and bring up questions regarding HSPA+ with customer service their mind explodes, so no help from them.
Any light that could be shed would be fantastic. I'm this close to jumping ship and fleeing to T-Mobile.
I'm no where near you (SE PA region), but I'm consistently getting 8-9mbps down with AT&T and no tweaking whatsoever.
Funny, I'm about to jump from the t mobile boat to att for spotty service where I am missing calls and delay texts. T-Mobile is fast but not worth the extra frustration.
What signal you getting? E, 3g, H?
I bet your getting 3g and need them to change your plan to preferred 4g and not Let plan. Google it and you will get some advice and tips for APN suggestion

No, I'm getting H. And I've clarified with multiple reps that my phone is on a 4G plan with an IMEI provisioned for 4G. As far as the APN, I've tried a couple with not much luck in getting faster speeds.

I bet your getting 3g and need them to change your plan to preferred 4g and not Let plan. Google it and you will get some advice and tips for APN suggestion
