Ok, so I just got my N4 last night and so far I am very impressed with it, especially being my first android phone. However, the data speeds seem quite slow, can someone please help me out?
Using this APN I am connected to HSPA + on AT&T but am only getting around 1 Mbps both up and down. Does anyone know what could be causing me to have such slow speeds?

Are you using a Direct Connection with AT&T?
Or do you have a MVNO SIM or AT&T Prepaid SIM?

I'm on an AT&T family plan with a sim card pulled from an iphone 5. (Not sure if I answered your question, im not on prepaid though)
I have the same issues. I signed up for at&t family shared 10gb for 3 lines a month ago. I have the GS3 and 2 iphone 5's. 2 weeks ago i bought the nexus 4 and the speeds are bad compared to LTE. I get 3-4 down and 1 up. I used the following APN settings. So far its the best one's that work.
http://forums.androiddoes.net/showt...to-get-good-AT-amp-T-HSPA-speeds-with-Nexus-4
the Nexus 4 works best on t-mobile in the US only because they support HSPA+ while at&t is HSPA and LTE.
AT&T is building up their LTE markets and not upgrading their current HSPA.
Are you referring to the pta one or the phone one? On the pta one I don't get a data connection.

Ok you do not get any data with pta apn because your sim is not provisioned for LTE(even if LTE is on your plan). My daughter had an iphone 4s(we have a data share plan which includes LTE) and I switched her to my GS3. She also didn't get any data using the pta APN. I just called at&t and told them they needed to provision it for LTE because the LTE apn wasn't working. They put me on hold, provisioned the sim for LTE and had me reboot and then the PTA apn worked. It was the same deal for my mom when she went from a HSPA+ phone to a LTE phone. She got no data at first until I called and told them her old phone was HSPA+ and her new one was LTE. That's when I learned they have to reprovision it. Of course they wouldn't need to do this if you had originally had an LTE phone

Could it have to do with the Nexus 4 not supporting LTE, only HSPA+?
Could you post the APN settings you are currently using? (Make sure its the one with the blue dot across from it)

Do you mind testing a few things?
If so, Could you press the menu icon (bottom right corner) in the APNs settings, then select restore to default.
Then power off the device, Open APNs Settings again, and check to be sure the default APN (Should be the only one listed) is selected (Has the blue dot to the far right) then wait a few second, and power the device off and on again..
After devices is back on, check your internet, go to any webpage (other than a google one)
If still not working fast enough, go Back to APNs settings..
Add New, and try these settings...

Delete the First APN... enable the one you just created (press the radio button so that it turns blue)
then restart the phone.
Remember this phone does not support LTE service, so you may need to have your account provisioned to HSPA+ and not LTE.
Note: The can provision each line of service individually, just not sure if it can be done that way with the Data Share Plans (they did not have those when I worked there.)

Did a search and checked all FAQ's but i cant seem to find anyone with the same problem as me.
Phone keeps telling me i have no network but im getting 2-4 bars of signal. I cant go on the internet, youtube, facebook ect... unless i turn wifi on.
Phone details:
Im rooted and sim unlocked.
Im up in Canada, on the FIDO network
In the mobile network settings, it says EDGE, but i should be getting 3G.
TMO Vibrant SGH-T959
firmware 2.1 -update 1
kernal 2.6.29
Service state says "in service" but mobile network state says "disconnected"
For some reason im on roaming even if im no where near the border.
I have set data roaming to ON to see if internet would work but it didnt.
This is my first android phone and im very new to all the menu's and settings! Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
TMO Vibrant SGH-T959
Fido
This explains all.
only Wind mobile uses AWS(1700/2100) same as T-mobile.
Their 3G phones don't work with Rogers(Fido)/Bell/Telus.
Ah man no way!!!
So there is nothing i can do to make this work then?

Best thing you can do is to switch to wind.
Right now they are giving 150$ porting credit also
Make sure you also have a data package on your line, and change the APN to Fido's settings. You'll at least get the EDGE connection which is better than nothing.
Other option would be to sell the Vibrant and get a Captivate, which has Fido's 3G frequencies.
It should be possible for you to get 3G with FIDO since they use 1900 MHz and the Vibrant has a radio for that frequency

Get to your APN settings first
Menu ---> Settings --> Wireless and Network --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names. You should see T-Mobile US.
Then hit the Menu button again and select New APN. Enter this info into the respective fields

(all other fields blank)
Enter everything here, I cannot guarantee this will work, as I do not have AT&T service. But it's more than what you got now. Make sure you go back to that menu and select this APN is the one you want to use.
DO NOT delete the T-Mobile one, as you may need it at a later time.
Hope this helps

you got it!
does the vibrant phone have the capacity to go 3G even if tmobile doesnt offer it?
All 4 SGS seem to have the exact same specs... So if ATT (captivate?) has 3g, the vibrant should be able to get it right?
tmobile does offer 3g, it is just on a different band than the one from ATT, but for what has been going around these past few days, some have been successful using 3g vibrant from tmobile on ATT since there is at least one band that matches, coverage is not as great as with an original att phone, but works. I haven't tried it myself since I don't have an ATT SIM to try it
Where can i find what bands are used? I would like to compare what my fido carrier uses compared to TMO and ATT for 3G network.
AT&T uses 850/1900 for 3G
T-Mobile uses 1700(AWS)/2100
I know wikipedia has the whole list of all the carriers but most Canadian providers use AT&T bands including Rodgers/Fido.
If I remember correctly only Wind uses TMobile bands
You sir.... are a god among men!!!
IT WORKED!!!
Now i need to track down ATT users to find out what they did to get onto the 3G !!!

Not a problem at all, glad I could help.
Do you not have 3G on Fido?
*EDIT* I just checked Fido Bands. They are 850/1900 as well. So you are most likely in an area that uses 850(which the Vibrant doesnt have) like AT&T. If you travel around see if 3G pops up in other places.
Usually when im in the basement my iphone doesnt get 3g... but if i lay it flay on my desk and dont touch it... sometimes it will pick it up.
So i took my vibrant out for a drive yesterday just to see if i would pick up 3g and i didnt...... BUT...
Woke up this morning and found the 3g logo on with my phone being on my desk in the basement.... like my iphone!
Good sign! Today im taking the vibrant out as my "daily driver" for the first time (with my simless iphone in my pocket as backup lol)
Ill let you guys know my findings tonight.
I think you totally got it, but just to be clear for others reading this thread, your Vibrant will work some of the time on 3G and some of the time on Edge when using the Fido network.
The Vibrant receives 3 different 3G frequencies: 1700/1900/2100.
Fido uses 2 different 3G frequencies: 850/1900.
Some Fido areas have only 850, some have only 1900, and some have both. If you are in an area that has 1900, then your Vibrant will get 3G. Wind uses 1700/2100, so it better serves your Vibrant.
On the other hand, the Captivate will receive 3G in two different bands: 850/1900. This means that when used on Fido, it will always work in 3G (where available). If it were used on the Wind network, it would always operate on Edge.
Note that all of this requires setting the carrier-appropriate APN, which you have already done for Fido.
^^^
WOW .. that clarifies EVERYTHING! Thanks so much for posting that.
Which also explains why today i saw jumps from 3g to edge ect...
Thanks for the post!
I live in a very small town in West Virginia and the closest AT&T store is an hour away. I was wordering if anyone could give me an IMEI number that would help me get my new note up and running on the at&t network. It would save 2 hrs of driving.
Thanks
Kevin
IMEI number is the unique ID of your phone. Each phone has its own. Your IMEI is printed on the box and inside the phone behind battery. You don't need other ppl's IMEI because it is counter productive and doesn't help you get the phone activated. What you need is an AT&T SIM card, like the one you already have on your existing AT&T phone. Simply pull that SIM card out and put into your Note and you're done. You don't need to activate anything if you already have an active account with AT&T. When you first connect your phone to AT&T, they will know your phone's IMEI right away.
foxbat is correct if you already have an activated ATT SIM card. What you may need to set up is the APN to get the GNote up and running. If you do there are several thread on the APN's, or just ask for help.
This is the APN I am using: EDIT: This is for a 4G LTE SIM card that I also use in my Skyrocket. the 3G APN Is different as foxbat points out.

Please note that Phone APN may not work for everyone. If you already have an AT&T 4G phone, Phone APN will work for you. If you only have a 3G phone, your data plan is not upgraded to 4G plan. And Phone APN won't work for you.
The best APN to use is the old 3G APN called WAP.Cingular. It won't affect your 4G speed, at least not yet, and don't require upgrade your data plan to 4G plan (which is just a phone call away).

So I don't need to do that, I need to activate my sim card and then set up the APN once the account is activated?

Yes, I'm a little confused on this as well. I just posted a question in that thread, so hopefully, someone can clear things up for us. I have an iphone with at&t, so can I just put my sim card in the note with an adapter, and I should be good to go? I want to make sure I don't lose my grandfathered unlimited data.

You will be very lucky to get HSPA+ anywhere near 7.2mbps. On top of that there are plenty of ppl using wap.cingular reaching 9mbps speed in certain areas.
I just called AT&T and gave them an Atrix 4G IMEI in order for them to reprovision my Nexus 4 to have access to faster H+ speeds. I checked my online att account to verify that I am correctly provisioned and it says that I am.
When I check features on my phone on the ATT website it says DataPro 3GB for Smartphones 4G
Which APN do I need to connect to in order to take advantage of the faster speeds? I read that I need to add APN 3 and combine it with 5. I am a little confused about the combining it with APN 5. I created two separate APNs (one for APN 3 and one for APN5) using the settings found here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31135-att-apns-for-custom-roms/
I have APN 3 selected and I rebooted my phone.
Did I do something wrong? When I rebooted my phone I have signal but I can only make calls. I have no data access. Now I do live pretty far out from the city so I only get E (edge) speeds anyway. On APN 2 I get E but on APN 3 I am not getting any data access. I am provisioned for 4G so why is APN 3 not working for me? Did I do something wrong?
You should've just listened to me the first time around. The APN 3/5 is an LTE APN and you would need an LTE provision to access that APN.
You'll have to stick with APN 2 and APN 1/4 as its backup (MMS and such). PTA APNs are LTE based and cannot be accessed without an LTE provision

Ok so what do do I exactly? Sorry I need a clear answer.
EDIT: OHHHHH I think I know what you mean. The Atrix 4G not 4G LTE and the Skyrocket is.
I do still have one question however. Once I get reprovisioned for LTE how do I combine APN 3 and 5 as you said? Do I add 3 and 5 as two separate listings or do I literally use all the settings for APN 3 and 5 in one APN?
I'm using APN 5, but in "APN type", I have "default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hipri"
I read the info from a guide. Guess it's time to research what those terms mean.
got the google edition in the mail today and set up the PTA apn to try to get LTE on it...
out of the box i got no data at all and the PTA apn doesnt work either.
im stuck usning the old cingular WAP for H+ on it ... called att AND google at the same time and ATT is sayng they cant guarantee i will get LTE since its not an ATT branded phone. Google is saying it should work and told ATT they are full of **** essentially..
any help?

No. This should work out of the box. I was on the phone myself with AT&T and Google for two hours. It's a simple matter of AT&T changing the data plan to LTE, but they won't do it because they do not recognize the IMEI as an AT&T phone. No need to change APN settings. AT&T is basically screwing us. In the coming days I see a LOT of complaints coming. The customer service reps say there is nothing they can do, the network people say there's nothing they can do. Complete nonsense. Now, if you had an LTE data plan PRIOR to switching out phones you're probably going to be OK. It's those of us that were on 3G that will be screwed.
EDIT:
Well, after speaking with endless reps, I found one who was willing to actually do her job. She was sympathetic, did some research, and put in a phony IMEI number that allowed her to upgrade my plan from 3G to LTE. I guess the moral of the story is be persistent, hang up on the reps that say there's nothing they can do and keep trying till you find a rep willing to do their job properly.
By the way, I kept my unlimited status, no worries there.
FUNNY:
I had a call from a sales rep before the issue was fixed. Her solution was "why don't you return your phone, go to an AT&T store, and buy one of ours?"

and yes, i did choose the radio button for it.
they sent in some form to allow ATT to recognize my IMEI which might allow LTE to come in.. i asked about the plan and everything and no one said it wouldnt work... altho i had feared some people might have been told otherwise.

right, the issue is i didnt have an LTE phone prior. I had a 3g GS2 so my plan isnt configured to work on the LTE network.
for the Iphone they were honoring the old unlimited data plans for 30 dollar a month just changing the name of the plan to the new one (same price, still unlimited, upto 5GB before throttle)
someone just did this on the phone for me and i did get data using the phone APN now (no more using the old 3g only APN)
hopefully when i get out of the building i work in i can get some LTE reception and see if it worked.

If you haven't had an LTE phone prior, you probably don't have LTE data enabled through AT&T yet. What data plan are you on specifically? Does it say 4G for Smartphones or LTE for Smartphones? I'm thinking you're going to have to talk to AT&T and get them to switch your plan...

thats what they just did. they had the LTE plan unlimited for 30 a month they grant to grandfathered data plans when the iphone 5 came out
i am getting data on the PHONE apn now but still no LTE speeds...
i will call back later on in the day if i dont see LTE speeds coming in (speed test now only gave me 4 down)
they also apparantly sent in a form to get the IMEI covered by ATT which would guarantee they can provide :LTE speeds
went by att store and the guy there said it happens all the time with devices from south america (im in miami)
went to the back, grabbed an IMEI off a boxes device. applied that to my account... BAM ... LTE
I had the same problem with a rep telling me that the phone can't be found in their system. From the research I've done, it looks like you can give them any IMEI number off of a AT&T branded LTE phone and their system will switch your plan over.

I have done those steps before. apn type doesn't have a selection. not sure if typing it in is the same. speeds are inconsistent. sometimes it drops to under 10kb and other times it reaches 10Mb. sucks because the speeds fluctuations is causing YouTube videos to buffer all the time making it unwatchable. Even switch to tmobile custom rom and still same issue.

The last thing, how old is SIM card? and not only that, sometimes the SIM's go bad, just consider replacing it, and definately, the first thing You can do is trying to edit your existing APN, let me know how that goes.......Good luck.

sim card was recently purchased less than a month ago thru best buy. I bought the starter sim kit (which I think was for prepaid), but tmobile said they don't have a problem activating it. not sure what else to edit on apn. called tmobile tech support and they said only thing really matter is the fast.t-mobile.com. also tried the epc.tmobile.com but slower speeds. could it be because it's an unlocked att phone?

Well good to know it's not because it's an att phone. Was your data consistent, because mines jump up and down.

Yes, it was consistent, I tried a lot of custom roms from the att note 3 forum and from the international note 3 forum.
