Gs3 sim work on n4? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've searched everywhere and can't find the answer... I have an s3 but going to sell and was wondering if the n4 will take my sim and if so will it work without having to call my provider (bell) for apn settings?
Thanks!

Yes it should be fine. If you have to input APN settings just Google them.

[Q] Nexus 7 3G No Data with AT&T SIM

I just got my Nexus 7 3G and inserted my SIM from my AT&T Galaxy Note II. I get 4 bars but cannot get data. I have tried using several of the AT&T APN settings I have used on other devices but cannot get data to work. Has any other AT&T user got this to work?
Note: I finally got it to work using the old wap.cingular settimgs.

Hope you have the right data package on your account or you're going to get flagged.
Yep I did, I clipped my Sim from my galaxy note/added new apn (same one I used for the note)/ took a few secs but worked just like that

I had to go into settings / wireless and network / more....... /mobile networks and then make sure that enable data is checked.

Did you ever get any help with this? I have been reading the Note 2 post, and I think I may have read the whole thing from where they started talking about the S4 till the end, as well as about half the rest. I cannot get my S4 to get data working at all. I am in need of the Nandroid backup as well, unless you got it and it didn't work for you.
Nope no one seems to want to help ..but I have gotten the 3g function to work on the s4 by flashing the correct aaa passwords still cannot update profile or prl

Thanks! I had made it CDMA only, but not in there, in ##DATA#.
You know what, this means that I may have gone through all the headache for nothing. I'll start over and we'll see, it may all work without need of *2/activation.
Yeah the *2 method will not work unless the s4 was previously activated on a sprint account

Well, changing the data to CDMA didn't work either. I also have been reading on Nandroid backups that may help with this, and I think what we would need is the carrier. Someone said that EFS is ok to share, but carrier one would have user specific data once it has been activated. So, I guess my fix will be to get them activated on a Sprint line first, then go through the flash.
Thanks for your help!

Mms sending but not receiving straight talk t-mobile

Just wondering if anyone else had this problem and if anyone has the fix for it. Maybe the apn settings are wrong with my simcard.

Make sure you have the correct APN settings for your carrier.
That's what I'm trying to find

It came setup out of the box, but the only person I can get pics FROM is someone else on T-Mobile networks also.

Search Google for TMobile or StraightTalk APN depending on the carrier you're using.

Anyone have working data on Straight Talk (T-Mobile) this morning?

I woke up this morning to my phone saying I need to sign into the network HOME. The phone shows 3G/H but cant connect to Google's services, apps cant get to data and when I try to go anywhere in the browser it redirects me to a T-Mobile web page saying I dont have a working data plan and to sign up for a data plan. I'm in Atlanta, GA.
APN is :
straight talk
wap.tracfone
8080
http://mms.tracfone.com
mcc = 310
mnc = 260
I doubt its going to be fixed on here but I am wondering if its global or if I should keep harping on them because its specific to my SIM.
You need to set your APN to T-Mobile settings. I'll post my settings.

I had the exact same issue a few days ago with net10. Support was not helpful. Finally purchased a new tmobile sim, and did the transfer existing service to new sim via the website. Had data back within a few minutes.

I use Platinum Tel which also borrows its service from T-mobile and I havent had data working for 2 days. I turn it on but nothing happens. I've asked them about it and I checked two different phones. I dont know whatsup.
I checked the APN settings and they were ok.
My APN settings never changed and they were never those settings. Let me reiterate, I am on STRAIGHT TALK and not T-Mobile directly.
Then have had me trying a dozen ones and nothing.
I'm having the same issue, and so are people on Facebook and the ST forums. Support is useless, but I finally got escalated high enough to make them put in a detailed ticket about the issue.
It's not just you, it's a lot of people, so I'm hoping it'll be fixed soonish.
Still broken, this is two days out now :/ If anyone has this fixed for themselves somehow, please post.

They sent me an AT&T SIM.

Verizon Galaxy S4 On ATT Network Help

I just got a verizon Galaxy S4 that was blacklisted through verizon but I got it to work with my ATT SIM Card by changing the APN however MMS isnt working. Calls and SMS is working fine and showing my number. My questions are how do I get MMS to work?
Also can I flash a stock TW ATT I337 ROM to the verizon phone being ill be using it with ATT without Bricking it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Make sure your APN includes the mmsc and MMS proxy settings. Also flashing an at&t ROM should work but you may get some slight issues.
