Didn't work for me. Data seems okay my main issues are with MMSC MMS proxy and MMS port. I got 6.2Mbps on Cingular and 5Mbps on wap.tracfone. I couldn't even get tfdata to work.
If anyone has working MMS settings for this phone please post m

The various forums have been jam packed with issues regarding APN's and AT&T straight talk the last week or two, and I have not come across a straight answer why. I even read where there is a lawsuit going on between AT&T and Straight Talk. For some, the old APN's are needed, for others the new ones are needed, for still others neither set of values work. It seems that a lot of people who's refill card ran out or just renewed had to go with the new APNs.
I lost data too a week ago and straight talk had me re-enter my APN values and data magically came back. Now if I could only get data faster than 1 Mbps that would be nice.
These are the values that straight talk had me enter that fixed my data (I don't have the original ones from 4 months ago so I am not sure there is a difference or not):

As I stated in my post, the first set of APN values fixed my data. As I also stated in my post, I don't know if they are the same values as the ones I entered 4 months ago when I first bought my phone, because I no longer have the ones from 4 months ago to compare them two. The new APN values (the second set in my post) did not work at all for me.

So, I sent an MMS from my phone to myself with the working APN settings and it worked (Took about 10 minutes because I have a -90 to -100 dbm data signal at my house). Plain SMS texts sent from Google to my phone also work.

I hate to drag this thread back up but I have tried every single MMS setting in this thread and not one has worked. Some of the IPs and URLs listed dont reply to a ping, which makes me believe they arent even up.

I was on the phone with Straight Talk Cust-Service and he said that MMS is not guaranteed for BYOD customers. (Disregard my question if you have an N4) Did you buy your phone from Straight Talk?

I have no problem with data, but I cannot receive MMS (I can send just fine). This seems to be a problem for multiple people with multiple phone types at the straight talk forum.
Thought I would post here. Anyone have MMS receive working? I've tried both of the above (the second one is still the Straight Talk recommended one). I lose data with the first one. I've tried a hybrid, as follows, data is fine but still no MMS receive.

If you have an APN with MMS receive working, can you post the settings please? Many thanks. I may start a new thread, since this one was specifically about data...
Edit: I've also tried deleting the port numbers. No dice. And yes I reboot after each change.

This is the same issue I had... Could send but not receive MMS messages, spent 4 hours on the phone with tech support who rebuilt my account twice and couldn't get working, finally to be told they don't guarantee it to work and my phone wasn't compatible with there service. Never did get it working, finally switched to go phone and never had a problem since... That being said, the only thing I didn't try was the SIM swap.

Geez, you are replying to a post from June, and yes my post was about a change that Straight Talk did that killed data for a lot of people that week. I have never had a problem with MMS with the original sim card with the att.mvno values that I have shown. My new LTE sim card however required that I delete all APN entries, use the tfdata version of the APN as listed on Straight Talks's web site, and I also added APN Type: default,supl,mms, but I am not sure which one of those two things (or multiple things) fixed the problem, but now I have MMS with the new card.

thanks for the reply. I have tried multiple things since posting including a long list from here which does include the APN Type: default,supl,mms with no luck. outgoing MMS fine, incoming no dice. next step is call them to reprovision my sim. I may switch to AIO after this month...

T-Mobile US APN Settings for MMS

I have found about 20 different posts that all list different APN settings for T-Mobile US. Does anyone know what they should be for sure? Please only post if you are able to SEND MMS. I seem to be able to receive MMS, but can never send MMS. I have gotten it to work a couple times on some builds but the same settings don't seem to work on other builds.
Posting the settings is great but if you have a backup file from "APN Backup and Restore" that would be even more convenient.
Thanks
I fought with this same problem for a while, trying every setting i found in all the threads. One way i finally found that allowed me to send and recieve was to make 2 APN's, one with the standard epc.tmobile.com and nothing else, and another named t-mobile mms with the following settings:
APN: T-Mobile MMS
Proxy: None

I got the idea for using multiple APN's when i looked at my girlfriend's my touch slide's settings. Hope that helps!
Thanks. I'll give that a try and let you know how it goes. I read once that there are different settings for PPP and RMNET. I wonder if that's why I was able to get it to work on some builds and not others.

Thanks for these settings that u shared. This was the only APN that worked for my friend to get mms on tmobile prepaid with an AT&T Xperia Play 4g. They only get 2g/Edge, but I feel they even got an increase in speed from the "telekila"APN that was on the phone even if its small increase within 2g. Thanks everyone.
What are the correct apn settings for T-Mobile prepaid? Speedtest.net is reporting my location WAY off and pings are through the roof even though data speeds are just fine.

Solution for MMS sending difficulties anyone?

Wheel just keeps a spinnin and spinnin!
Wonder if it has to do with apn settings? They do indicate mms and Internet on the bottom setting.
Any suggestions appreciated? Who wants to be able to create these cool notes and not be able to send??
whats your plan, per or post pay, and what apn settings did you use, there are a lot of threads which address this.
I have a GoPhone $50 unltd.with apns suggested for this.
I DID walk in to att with my Note, and said cust service suggested I ask for a new sim cars and got a 4G card (vs the designated GoPhone) one, and that's when the problems started now that I think about it.
So my apn needs might have changed.
Ill have to play around with them.
Network speeds are way better...just no MMS.

definitely do not disclose to att that you have a smartphone.
I have the 50/month unlimited voice/text/web/data gophone att plan and my speeds are very good. i cant compare to network speed but im coming from tmous3g and it is close.
i registered the sim card in an older nokia e72, then once it worked fully, i swapped it into my gnote. not sure if att will catch the data usage and ding me for the overage as if it were a smartphone, but until that happens this is a brilliant workaround.

Question: I have the same APN settings as you just posted on my SGS 2, just curious what average speeds are you getting on G Note? I am getting about 3 mgps downld, 1.1 upload.
I tried to change the apn to different settings and no speed difference. Is this setting faster on G nOte?
Thank you

there is another thread that list an APN just for the 4g sim from att. search for that thread.
You got off topic
The question was about MMS not working on the Note, not about your plans. Please stick to the topic in order to help this person
I was having issues with my mms as well. I tried multiple apn settings but nothing. What finally fixed it was inputting the apn settings below in the go SMS application itself. And using those apn settings on the phone. My speeds are not as good as a couple of the other apns but I now have working mms and fully functional phone. I pulled the apn settings off of my infuse.

I'm also on AT&T and for some reason my APN has changed a couple of times on it's own. . In fact it just happened earlier today and I had the exact same problem as you. For some reason the MMS port was blank so I changed that back to 80. Also there was info in the username and password and I deleted both out. It worked again right after I made those changes.
I can give you the rest of my settings if those changes don't work for you. I'm using the settings that have been posted for AT&T unlimited data.
I copied the settings out of my brothers cappy, and finally got MMS working. Settings in the other thread weren't working for me. Im getting 3-7Mbs down and a MB up. Im post paid, with a 4G sim and so called "unlimited data".

[Q] ATT Blocking 3G Data Plan for Galaxy Tab 7.7

I just purchased a new Galaxy Tab 7.7 from Negri. I went to ATT to get a new DATA ONLY SIM card for the device but it will not work properly.
The device sees the DATA SIM and has 4 bars but I cannot get online.
If I put the DATA SIM into my old Galaxy Tab 7 it works just fine. I can also put my iPhone SIM into my 7.7 and it works fine.
I took the DATA SIM back to the ATT store and they told me that because it can be used as a phone the system is blocking it from using a 3G Data SIM. They also gave me a new DATA SIM just in case but that did not work.
Possible Solutions?
1. Is there something I can tell ATT to get the data only block removed.
2. Is there an alternate APN setting that I can use that will allow me to use 3G Data only.
3. Something else?

Have you tried using the above settings for MMS, and using the "Phone" APN for WAP yet?
Just set your APN to Phone, and leave everything else blank. Modify the second APN you listed to MMS only instead of Internet and MMS. See if that works.
You must have it named "Broadband". All the other settings seem right- that was my experience last weekend. Here are my settings:

Yep, you have to add the "Broadband" APN. That's what I'm using with the SIM from my AT&T Elevate hotspot.

This worked! Thank you! I spent the entire morning at the ATT store then the entire afternoon with Technical support. Nobody had a clue. Final verdict was that I HAD to get a Phone plan in order to get this to work.
How is your data speed with this APN? I am getting ping=100ms down=1.0-2mb up=100k-1mb. (same as my iPhone so that is a good sign)

Your speeds seem normal. I guess I hadn't read your OP properly to see that you were using a data-only SIM. In addition to the Broadband APN, isp.cingular also works.

Is there a difference between the two APNS? Any reason to use one over the other?
What are the settings for isp.cingular?

In most cases, the speeds are about the same. The isp.cingular is the legacy APN, so you may get higher ping times, but as more and more folks use the Broadband and Phone APN's, sometimes the old APN can be faster overall as it becomes less crowded. Either way, it's nice to have options at your disposal

I had the same experience-it was the 3rd technical support person I spoke to that finally got me up and running and it was that one word (broadband) that had been the issue.
Intl Version 7.7
Just want to chime in here. I have the 7.7... I purcahsed it online. Its the 3G version. Now all I did was take my SIM card out of my dumb phone (LG c500) and placed it in my Tab 7.7 and it worked for data and phone calls. I was able to keep it on with the $10 unlimitted data (for non smartphones) since AT&T system (at the time) saw it as an unsupported PHONE. Well after a few weeks I began getting text messages stating something regarding I need to purchae a data plan ... something to that effect, however the device still shows up as non-supported. so i put my sim back in my old LG c500 for a few days and then back into my 7.7 and I am good to go. Check out this story also

You should have just gotten a normal plan PLEASE READ

I just purchased a new Galaxy Tab 7.7 from Negri. I went to ATT to get a new DATA ONLY SIM card for the device but it will not work properly.
The device sees the DATA SIM and has 4 bars but I cannot get online.
If I put the DATA SIM into my old Galaxy Tab 7 it works just fine. I can also put my iPhone SIM into my 7.7 and it works fine.
I took the DATA SIM back to the ATT store and they told me that because it can be used as a phone the system is blocking it from using a 3G Data SIM. They also gave me a new DATA SIM just in case but that did not work.
Possible Solutions?
1. Is there something I can tell ATT to get the data only block removed.
2. Is there an alternate APN setting that I can use that will allow me to use 3G Data only.
3. Something else?

If you just get a non-smartphone and get a normal plan ........ add $15 for the non smartphone unlimitted data and you would be good to go. that's what I did and last month I was at 3.5GB of data and did not get throttled. The device will be an unrecognized device on at&t and you will only pay the $15 for data. Well worth getting the plan or just adding a line of service. Just don't tell them its a tablet. In fact you could just as easily pick up a go phone for $14 to $15 bucks and use the sim card.
thank you for this thread. spent a long time with AT&t and could not get this to work. I have a data only plan.
this worked great.

[Q] Speedtest.net and Nexus 4 problem

I have the Speedtest.net app on my Nexus 4 and ever since I got the phone I can't properly run a test my ATT speeds. On Wifi it works great but when I turn off Wifi, Speedtest freaks out and it either gives me a very high ping around 260ms and the download is ALWAYS 0.01Mbps and upload stays around 0.5Mbps or sometimes it won't even connect and gives me error but I do get an IP and I can surf the web so it's not a connection issue.
I've attached a screenshot of what it looks like.
My main question is why can't it pick up a regular download speed? I never had this problem with my Galaxy Nexus.
Thanks
Probably the proxy settings in your APN. Remove those and you should be good. Post up the settings from the APN you're using if you're not sure what to edit.

Delete everything out of the Proxy setting. [Edit - you can delete the data out of the Port entry directly below Proxy as well]
I would guess that AT&T probably blocks or throttles this on their side to control bandwidth.
Yup, that did it, but wow I'm getting some really crappy results.. under 1Mbps
If your account is provisioned for HSPA+ you'll probably get better speeds using the phone or pta APN. There are a couple recent threads discussing this. I'll link later if you can't find anything.

Had the same issue. I created a new APN with the server name phone now all is well.

I had that too with no change to my APN settings so I switched to Tmobole on straight talk and saw a difference. I might switch back to At&t on straight talk in the coming weeks ....

you should get around 5-7 mbps, and MMS works correctly (both sending and receiving)
If these settings DO NOT work, then you need to call AT&T and have them upgrade your data plan to allow 4G! This will be free of charge.

No no no, don't do this or use those settings.
OP, you didn't mention that you are on a MEdia Net plan (dumb phone plan) and that is confusing the people trying to help you. Any time you mention cellular issues, you should specify the plan you are using.
Now, OP I can tell from your APN that you ARE on a MEdia Net plan. Next time, I would recommend you search the subforum for MEdia Net it will bring you to this thread, where the issue has been identified and resolved.
I posted on page 3 regarding the issue, which uses the same resolution that bedoig prescribed: delete the entry for proxy.
Now, being that you are on the MEdia Net plan, you won't be able to get speeds above 875KB/s down (7Mbps), even on HSPA+:15. AT&T apparently caps all dumb phone plans to that bandwidth. You won't get LTE and the phone/PTA APNs will not work for you. Those are smartphone APNs, so you should only use the default APN (which was automagically selected for you) but you can delete proxy to use bandwidth tests.
You could switch to a more expensive DataPro plan to get marginally faster speeds, but you'll be capped at 2GB/month and there's a chance you'll be caught tethering. I don't recommend you switch to DataPro for the very slight and unnoticeable upgrade in speed. AT&T doesn't monitor data use on MEdia Net plans so you can use well over 2GB on your current plan without issue. As I've mentioned in that thread and in several of my posts, I've once used over 12GB in a month; tethering for myself, my roommate, as our many guests because Comcast was being sheisty.
Now you've got all the info you need, and see that it was already available in another thread. I would recommend this thread for deletion because it adds clutter, not value. If people search for this answer, they will be linked to both threads.
Thats not necessarily true, my apn was originally the wap cingular one as well because I was using a nexus one prior, upon changing to the 'phone' apn, everything worked.
Depends how much the op is currently paying for data plan I guess if those settings don't work.

Well if it is going by plan, I have the grandfathered 'unlimited' plan and the APN settings seemed to work for me. Yup, 12Mbps down here!
I got another problem. Once I do a test and the speedtest uses GPS. GPS doesn't switch off and kills my battery unless I do a reboot.
I'm running AOKP, so it could be a problem related to that.
That's insane

What are your APN settings? The stock ones? I'm getting about 4 Mbps down, nowhere near yours. Where do you live?

Im using the APN from the first page. I live in Cleveland, and ya, it's completely dependent on your location/network there (at least it seems to be).

HELP! With MMS on Tmobile Note 4 on ATT Network

Tmobile Note 4 on ATT network. When I initially got it I called ATT and they set the APN remotely and made sure everything worked. LTE worked perfectly, MMS also worked perfectly.
I ran into some issues with xposed and had to do a full factory reset from recovery. The issue is that instead of getting my MMS as a picture I now get a download button which I have to press to download the picture. It's a major pain, sometimes I get a lot of pictures at a time and to sit there and wait for each to download really sucks.
I called ATT again but this time got a clueless rep. She made me manually change my APN as follows: This didn't help at all. Anyone have any suggestions?

You are in the wrong forum but try changing the name of your APN to AT&T Next Gen and change the APN to nxtgenphone then make the type default,supl,mms,hipri,admin,internet
