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!

You're a Godsend.
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

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.

Looking for At&t users who have had success adding SOC code HSDPPB to their data plan as mentioned in this thread.

Did you have it done over the phone, in a store, what BS did you feed them, etc. Did it have a noticeable effect on your speeds? I do know that one needs a 4G IMEI, which I have but I found it through a Google search so I don't have the physical phone that it came from.
I have tried multiple firmware/modems (KE7,KF2,KF3,KG1), APNs (wap,phone), build.prop mod, and still the best speed I can get on average is around 1.5 Mbps. The only thing left to try is the SOC code. I live in the Washington DC area and am certain that we have good 4G coverage here.

Something's not right... I'm in the Washington DC area as well, I do NOT have the 4G feature added, and I'm getting as high as 6Mbps/2Mbps...
Before I had the 4g plan, I was hovering around 2.0mbps. I switched to unlimited 4g with the help of an old phone, and now I sit around 4.5mbps. I now have HSDPPB. Do it over the phone. For convenience, find the IMEI of a 4g AT&T phone before you call.

The problem is getting the HSDPPB (4G SOC code) added and maintaining the grandfathered unlimited Smartphone Personal plan. I've tried in-store and over the phone and each time I've been told that they can't add that code to that plan - they have to switch me to a 2 or 4 gig capped plan. If anyone knows a way around that, I would be very happy to hear it.
As I understand it, the benefit of being on the HSDPPB 4G plan is being able to connect to the "ATT phone" APN, which provides faster speeds than the wap.cingular APN.
There are two reasons that you'd need to provide the IMEI of a 4G phone to AT&T.
1) You're on an old grand-fathered unlimited plan and want to be moved to a 4G plan.
2) You're registering for one of their 4G plans.
For all others, giving them the IMEI of a 4G phone will cause them to flag you for not being on a 4G plan as they do track plan usage/assignment by IMEI.
There's been some discussion as to whether being on a 4G plan gets you better speeds. The OP in the thread below claims having a 4G phone and a 4G IMEI and a 4G plan routes you through different (faster) gateways. Looking at the mixed results I'm not sure its true or matters.

I'm on a dumb-phone plan and have gotten as high as 8MB down as I've traveled the country so I'm not sure there's better to be had. AT&T's continuing to upgrade their backhaul and there have been reports of bad performance while it's going on. I don't know if that or congestion is what's causing poor performance in DC. OP, I'd find someone with a 4G phone and a 4G plan to see what kind of speeds they're getting before changing your plan.
Once again I am getting up to 6Mbps in the DC Metro area on wap.cingular and no 4G feature.... so I really don't think you need the 4G or the att-phone APN for good speeds.

Those of us using dumb-phone plans got them in different ways. Some people are using old iPhone plans, some are using grandfathered 3G plans, some switched saying they replaced their smartphone with a dumb-phone, and some started service that way (me). The last two categories seem to be getting the best performance from posts I've seen. In addition, some are using old SIMs from other phones/plans and some new (me). I think all of this has to be considered when talking globally about dumb-phone plan data performance.
I'm in the Dallas area and many times i get 6mps down and I'm only on the $10 unlimited media net plan...I really think you guys are just confusing At&t's crappy network speed with the fact that something is wrong with your phone but in realty everything is working fine. Blame At&t...
I'm still on the old DPPB 3G unlimited smartphone plan, and I've gotten 7+ Mbps on HSPA+ on occasion, using the wap.cingular APN. So far, I haven't seen a need to switch.

We're not idiots. We'll also have the largest LTE networks in the world soon. It's easier to speak in terms of "4G" as very few phones in the U.S. have radios that support HSPA+ even though it's an extension of existing technology. Go back to your conversations about how your networks drain the phone's battery, can't maintain a connection, and don't support fast dormancy.

You might try swapping your SIM at an AT&T store first. My account's new showing no phone assigned to it and they over-nighted me a SIM. Maybe someone else can comment on their experience using a SIM from a previous phone/plan and whether they had to anything afterward.
I have 2 s2's sitting here. Both with litning rom 2.2, both on the same att account, and both are in the system with the same atrix imie.
One is getting 6-8mbps down the other is getting 3-4mbps down. What would make one slower than the other?

Did this work for you? I have the ATT Data for Smartphone 4G plan and have tried these APN settings, as well as the ones touted for the non-4G plan with no luck, although I had not deleted the old settings, just set it on the new APN settings.
After I apply the settings, pressing *#*#4636#*#* says IOException when I try and ping. Restarting the phone does not help.
I didn't think you could just pull a sim from one phone and plug it into another and get it to work especially one registered with an LTE phone switching to a GSM. Have you called AT&T to see if that's even possible?
Try these. Works great for me

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 am getting a T-Mobile Sim to try now.

Just for a call threatening to shut off my service.

i think AT&T has been tightening the reigns for their MVNOs. pretty much all of the ones that offered unlimited are now suddenly limited.
I told straight talk they need to send me a T-Mobile sim card for free. Lol
If they don't. I will be dropping my service!

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?
Get T-Mobile Truly Unlimited
30gb this month so far and still getting 14mbps

I just got my Nexus 4 yesterday. I bought a sim adapter for a nano sim. The sim came from my iPhone 5 and I put it in my Nexus 4. The cell service picked up and worked, however data did not.. After scouring the internet I found some APN settings that would actually get my on the data network. However, it is really slow..
Android 4.2.2
Rooted (Using Nexus Toolkit)
AT&T iPhone Unlimited Data Plan
I have attached screenshots of my APN settings.. I am only getting around 300K for download speed.. On my 4S I can get 12Meg in the same area.

After reading.. it looks like my phone does not show up in AT&Ts system and I need to go in the store because I am locked in a crappy "3G" zone.

once you get your plan set to -smartphone 4g- check out this apn, its what i used to get up to 11mbs pretty consistently around the dc area..
http://www.reddit.com/r/nexus4/comments/14g245/psa_nexus_4_att_and_you_how_not_to_get_screwed/
i already had an sgs3 on a 5gb a month lte plan.
all i did was call up att and get them to switch me from an lte plan to a smartphone 4g plan. i believe they already have the correct imei for the nexus 4 now as opsed to the major pain in the butt everyone went through back when the n4 first came out.
rooted my phone and when i flashed a cyanogemod nightly.. upon boot it had the "wap.cingular" apn which gave me hspa+ but only max speeds of around 6mbs down 1mbs up, pretty consistently..once i changed to the "phone" apn in the link i provided you my speeds went up to 11mbs down and aroud 1.5 up..hope this helps a little

These are the settings I use, but at the end I use IPV4 only. I found that having the 4/6 setting selected, is getting random times of data cycling on and off rapidly. The 4 only setting has been great so far.

NEXUS 4 ATT Slow download fixed
Here is my APN setting:
Name : AT&T HSPA+
APN : phone
username: [email protected]
Pasword CINGULAR1
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN Type: default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hipri
APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN Roaming protocol: IPv4/IPv6
With this I get speed between 6-8 MBPS.
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.

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.
