So I came from a AT&T Galaxy Note with a LTE plan. I just sold it to go with Nexus 4 and put my sim card in. I have tried just about every APN setting out there. I live in a good area with HSPA+ speeds and i'm lucky if I get 1mbps.
I am just looking for any new things to try or new APN Settings.
Thank you so much for your time and help.

Put the word "phone" in the where pta is. This should work. I personally create a new APN and name it 4g, put the word phone for APN and that's all. I get the same speed as with any other phone.

I actually was in the same situation I also came from a galaxy note. and I use the following apn
Apn- phone
Mmsc - http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
Proxy - proxy.mobile.att.net
Mms- 80
I was on the standard Cingular apn and this one is a lot faster for me

I left erythromycin else the way it is. Make sure u set it up as a new apn and delete the old one. After that reboot the phone and enjoy
Here's a pic of my settings. I hope it helps.

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

So I got my Vibrant and used t-mobile and loved the service but unfortunately I got it just before a change to pricing plans and now I have some other options. I am actually considering moving to Simple Mobile, right now they will give a 3g Unlimited talk/text/web for 50 a month (no clue data cap but I do mostly wifi at home and avg 2-3gb streaming at most). Comparing plans and coverage It looks like Simple Mobile might be a good option for me right now but I just found out about them today at the mall.
So the first thought I had was to come here and see if others have any experience with the Vibrant on their network and if so how it worked out for them. So what do you guys/gals think of them?
back to the front page with this...
Simple Mobile is really good.... its month to month so no contracts...just bring your vibrant and buy the sim card and plan and ur set. Ive been using simple mobile for about 4-5 months using the unlimited everything for $60 and had no problems once you set the APN settings. If you tend to flash roms all the time, you should download an app called APN Backup and once you set the APN you want on the phone, you can back it up for easy restore after you flash a new rom.

Simple Mobile runs on T-Mobile's network, so you get the same coverage. They don't tell you but there's a 1GB data cap. If you go over it several times, they cut off your service.

So if I have gotten to where I use the data away from WiFi only on rare occasion the data cap would not be a factor. thinking I might give it a try, if i don't like it i don't have to "re-up" i guess. anyone else have anything to say about them?
If you want unlimited data, you need to go with Sprint. They're the only carrier that actually offers unlimited Data.
Also, Sprint is pushing to remove bloatware from their devices, something the other carriers won't even think of (and that's a factor for some people).
Don't even think about it.

What he said... only I've only been trying it for about 2 weeks. So far I've found that T-Mobile's 3G/4G networks are juuuuust out of range of my house. The 2G speeds seem better than ATT though as long as I stay on the device and don't try any ToS violations with the laptop. The data caps don't thrill me either but as was said they all have them. I'll just have to go to Starbucks to download my Linux distros I like to play with.

Nope. Any tmobile branded phone will do.

Don't know if this was said or not, but Simple Mobile operates using tmobile's towers, which is why 4G/3G works on the phones from Tmo. Tmobile doesnt own them, unlike Boost Mobile+Sprint which are actually together.
Anybody know if I have a tmobile branded phone, will I be able to get 3g with the $50 plan?

If you have a T-Mobile branded phone or phone that supports 850/1900 MHz (both), you should get 3G. 4G (HSPA+, which is really also 3G) is 1700 MHz/2100 MHz.
I just realized that after going into the tmobile store they have a $50 plan prepaid also for unlimited (up to 2gb).

You can go past 2GB, but they'll throttle you to EDGE speeds and sometimes slower for the rest of the billing cycle if you do.

Actually I read somewhere that buried in the fine print, Simple Mobile reserves the right to terminate your number if you keep going past 1GB of data a month.
I was with simple mobile for two months and it was painful. I just loved being threatened every day to have my account suspended because I hit the 2gb limit in the last week of both my months. Texts from them everyday. I don't teather either.
Plus I had to hack the mms apk to have the user agent changed for it to work. They never tell you they block it without the hack. They just keep you trying same settings over and over. Did the hack and default apn worked work mms immediately.
I am with t mobile prepaid and much happier. More data I barely even get close to capping and better customer service.
Simple mobile didn't even care to try keep me when I had then verify my account info so I could do a transfer. They asked me why I wanted to verify it. Stop I told them
With calling mart discounts I only pay 4-5 bucks more. At most.
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!

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.

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.

I'm having a nightmare here. I used GiffGaff for a few months with my Nexus 4, and had tremendous speeds. However, I saw a great deal with T-Mobile so I ended up switching over, and it's been nothing but problems. My download speeds are around 10kbps and 300kbps (even when I have full "H"signal) at its highest, while upload speeds can be over 1mbps.
I've tried resetting the APNs to default and taking the SIM out, but that hasn't changed anything. When I moved over I ported my old number onto the T-Mobile SIM. the downside of this is that when I go into SIM Tool Kit and try to request it to send internet settings, it doesn't come through - I think this is because the phone number shown in "about phone" in the settings, and the one that is presumable still saved on the SIM, is still the number that was originally on it, and I think that's where the messages are being sent to.
So, I wondered if any UK users on T-Mobile are able to get decent download speeds on their Nexus 4, and if so, could they share their settings? I always have full H signal, and I live in the heart of Manchester city centre - hardly a rural retreat with no signal. It's been like this for a week now. I'm planning on ringing them up, but I'm not sure what they could do other than get me to change the APN settings.
Any help is appreciated! Current APN settings are:

I have exactly the same settings and can get speeds around 15Mbps.
I thought as much... So... Any other suggestions? Is it possible it could be a dodgy SIM card? But then it does connect even though it's really slow... Surely of it was broken it wouldn't connect at all?

I can't believe it, that actually seemed to work! I just hit 5mbps on a speed test for the first time with this sim! It hadn't even hit 500kbps before!
With regards to your second point, t mobile sent me a test MMS, and I could see the picture fine, so I don't think I need to split out my apns.
I'll see how I get on anyway. One final question, I do need data roaming switched on to access the Orange 3G signal right?

I remember when I used to be with t mobile and they had just started signal sharing with orange. When it switched to orange signal, a little "R" appeared to show that it was roaming onto a different network. Has the way they do the sharing totally changed now if data roaming isn't needed to get Orange 3g signal?

More than one month ago I found a quite interesting offer in T-Mobile, a cheap one and I thought I will sign a contract... why not. I had a contract before, I had nothing but problems with them... I have tried once more. T-Mobile wasn't able to give me a proper price for first bill, I spent hours, going to the store and calling to customer service. Nothing but nightmare... no more, no less.
For my Nexus 4 I have simcard from 3-UK Network. My best speed was 22Mbps - sometimes, during the day speed obviously being dropped to 5-10 Mbps... Just a minute ago, I had tested - 12 Mbps. 3 giving what I need - unlimited internet usage - truly one.
I barely get 1.2Mbps from o2 even when my signal strength is full Was the same on my S2 and now N4.
Never had roaming switched on and seem to spend most of my time on the orange signal. Don't notice any speed difference between the 2. Although the other day I got 20000kbps download speed when sat near a transmitter. I'm currently using the EE APN settings.

This. But no user or pass, just everywhere as apn. That's all, works on both Orange and T-Mo
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.

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

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.
