Now that I've found out that the Note will work on AT&T's wannabe 4G HSPA+ network, I was wondering is it possible to use the unlimited data for dumb phones ($15) on it?
I plan on selling my iPhone 4S and use that money to buy a Note. Then I'll just borrow a friend's dumb phone and call in to tell them to switch my 2GB iPhone data plan with the 15$ unlimited dumb phone data plan. Would I be able to use the Note on that plan without AT&T switching the plan back to a smartphone plan later on?
It'll work!
FYI, in the future, it's possible that the smartphone plans will have different, faster service than the dumbphone ones. This isn't happening now, and it's not guaranteed to happen in the future, just a possibility; they use different APNs (for which you'll have to manually enter the settings when using an international device.)

Work? Yep probably.
Att eventually figures out the type of phone you have and will change you to the correct plan, "for your convienence".
They did this for me after several months of using my n1 with the 3g sim I had from a737.
There is quite a long thread about sim-swapping & ATT, on the SGT general forum. Peeps having a grandfathered unlimited iPhone plans are particularly vulnerable to changes when they dump their iPhone sim into a non-iPhone...

It has been said that AT&T can't do this for international unlocked phones, since they don't have the IMEI information to determine what phone you are using.
In reality, though, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out you don't have a dumbphone if you are pulling down massive amounts of data.

Please dont spread things like this. Ive beeen running unlock phones with no issues since 04. Only 2 phones that got caught were some nexus and streak devices because they eventually picked those 2 in there lineup.
Dont please.

I don't plan on using a massive amount of data on it. I'm on my 16/30 days for this cycle and I've only used ~200MB out of the 2GB. I just wouldn't mind paying less on my bill
I plan on doing this when I get my note (tomorrow???). I have a dumbphone at the ready!

Good luck! Tell me how it goes.
Some interesting notes.
att.com seems to show you the last phone you used on your account. If you use an international unlocked Note, it says 'unknown phone'. So they definitely are keeping an eye on you.
I believe that if you ever screw up and put your sim in a known (aka US) smartphone, your account will be immediately flagged and you'll get yourself updated to one of the smartphone plans.
- Frank
I figure when my note arrives I will do this:
Put sim card in dumbphone (samsung SGH-A707)
make a call to make sure it works
Call ATT and tell them I am giving my Captivate to a friend - tell them that I am moving to a dumbphone
Ask to be moved to the $15/mo plan
Turn on note and put in APN info for the medianet servers
Put sim in note
Anything wrong with this? Not sure if 5 and 6 is interchangeable, but probably.
http://imei-number.com/imei-lookup/
Here is the SGT thread that is related to this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000921
I stopped following the thread after about page 5, and summarized it as: ATT doesn't fuss too much about sim-swapping unless there is some egregious mismatch between sim and device it is operating on. And further att pays more attention to sims they feel belong to unlimited iPhone plans or sims that don't have a data plan. They don't seem to care too much if you have a tiered data plan sim and swap it in/out of various smart phones (non iPhone). Oh and tethering: it seems they tend to notice sims that tether and are associated with an att purchased iPhone. While sims that tether and have a tiered plan and are not associated to an att purchased iPhone 'fly under the radar'. (Nope, I have no idea how att knows your sim is tethering vs just using data on your device)

That just means the phone is not in their database hence the ability to use the dumbphone plan
Well I got my note today. I put the sim card in the dumb phone, called up ATT and said I am going to let someone else use my captivate (half true, selling it???). I told her I am going to use a non-smartphone (not true!!! :x). She asked for the IMEI number and I gave her the non-smartphone IMEI number. After that I put in the non-smartphone APN into my note and put the sim card in and I've got my data!!

Nice!
The only thing that's keeping me from buying this phone is that I wanna be able to see the Verizon's Nexus before I make my choice.
Does your area not have AT&T's HSPA+ coverage or does the Note show 3G even when it's on H+?

It's not your signal and it doesn't flicker bro. Unlike the At&t S2, the Note shows true connection status. Phones only enter HSPA+ when using apps requiring internet connection. The rest of the time it's in 3G, I thought everyone knew that? o.o

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'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+.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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..

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..

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
APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN Roaming protocol: IPv4/IPv6
With this I get speed between 6-8 MBPS.
I got my Nexus 4 last week and used my nano sim from my iPhone 5 using a adapter. I was getting around 1-2Meg down on most speed test.. Sometimes I would get 5-7Meg. However, lately it has been around 800kbs. I took my phone into AT&T and they didn't really know what was going on or had anything to say.. They gave me a MicroSim and changed my phone from "SkyRocket" to "Nexus 4" in the system. It seems after that.. that is when I can't get above 70K down on speed test. Any idea what I can try to do?
My APN settings are,
Name: AT&T HSPA+ (this can be whatever you like)
APN: phone
mmsc: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
mms proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port: 80
APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri
ATT probably has your data partitioned incorrectly. YOu are no longer on an "4g" plan. There is a thread in either this section or general section on specific ATT issues. Would take a look at that thread.
hope that helps
edit here is the link. i would suspect when they gave you the new card and updated your device in their system is when it got worse for you

Thanks.. I just got off the phone with FOUR different ATT people and still can't get anything work.. none of them have even heard of a Nexus 4.. I am cancelling my contract and going to T-Mobile..
lol it's funny how none of them heard of the nexus 4. Ive applied so many times and they never hired me. -.-. W.e Im with solavei now.
I thought this issue would be an APN thing. Guess not. Now one thing to look at is Coverage. Hopefully you'll be happy.
If you want, Join solavei. We're a Tmobile MVNO with some differences. We have 4GB HSPA+ speeds and the rest is EDGE (compared to many who offer 2GB of HSPA+) and LTE APN is in the works. Of course unlimited talk and text. And another thing we have is conditional call forwarding which many other MVNOs dont have and that allows your calls to be forwarded. That allows me to use Youmail Visual Voicemail or Google voice for others. All for $49 + Taxes or free if you want.
Yes we are MLM but you don't have to do it if you dont want to.
What ever you choose, Hope you are satisfied
