Giffgaff settings - a definitive answer? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I am having problems getting a data connection with my giffgaff sim. I have read various threads on here and on the giffgaff community forums with suggestions however none of these have worked for me.
Can anyone provide advice?

This is what I use (password is password) and I haven't had any problems!

Username should be giffgaff not vertigo if that doesn't work can you get onto the play store? Search for giffgaff APN app as that helped me when setting it up

Try the APN settings here found under GPRS-3G Settings : http://community.giffgaff.com/t5/Learn-giffgaff-Top-Tips/Definitive-APN-Settings-list/td-p/1279

I used this guide on their forums here: community.giffgaff.com/t5/Learn-giffgaff-Top-Tips/Android-4-0-4-1-amp-4-2-Jelly-Bean-amp-ICS-Internet-and-MMS/td-p/6352504
You need to put the usual http... in front of community in that link, sorry, I'm too new to post urls.
Details in my link look similar to jm89s link.
Just to check, have you had a text saying that you've activated your sim? I had to activate mine by putting the code on the credit card thing that my sim popped out of into their website. I then got a text telling me it was time to activate my 3g, but that I might need to do it manually. They have an app in Google Play carried something like 'giffgaff apn helper' that can autoconfigure some devices.

The username can be either, vertigo is their "high capacity" internet. Doesn't really make a difference.

I was/am the same.
I read somewhere on the Web to send yourself a MMS. I tried this and it seemed to free everything up and get mms arriving & sending.

Ps. Tmobile mms are absolutely crap. The message directs you to the Tmobile website where you can view the picture.
Anyone know why?

This is not really slow. Just poor compared to the 20 mbps some people are getting. And it is still faster than Sprint 3G
Also, problem with MMS probably resides in your APN

4mbps isn't slow? I was getting way faster speeds on my HTC hd7.
I didn't touch the APN. What are the best settings?

It pales in COMPARISON but by all means is not slow. The Sprint users are suffering!

Not familiar with avatar, but in the network settings there should be something like access points, there you would add an apn of your network.
Okay, since I have AT&T what would I enter?

If you literally search for "AT&T APN", you'd get the answer.

weird.
try uninstalling the app, reboot, then reinstall it.
I asked the same question a few weeks back, no download option was showing for me also. It is now, Try going under your Google plus accounts settings , under photos check allow viewer's to download photos, I thinks that's how I was able to download them. You have to go to the actual website not the app, hope it helps,

Do you know if the app will make it so the menu button is shown all the time, or any other tweaks like that, or is it just themes? I want to make sure before I buy it.
