3G working on my AT&T Tab

Ok excuse my ignorance cause I'm still working around on figuring out Samsung, Android, and Rooting for this as it's much different than my Nexus One.
Ok this may be stupid but I put in my SIM cards for my Nexus into the Galaxy Tab. The 3G wouldn't work. And it's because the APN is set for broadband. Ok, cool. I figured I would need a special SIM card dedicated to tablets. But I thought I could be slick and set up a new AT&T APN set up and set up the wap.cingular account. But it won't let me set it up because wap.cingular seems to be blocked out???
So anyways here's the weird thing, I was deleting the APN account, but now I notice I have 3g service..... Wow weird. How can I have access to 3g now w/o setting up the wap service? When I switch it back to the broadband APN setting the 3g goes away. I have a dummy APN set up with the name ATT wap
And I never notice that with a SIMS card in the download button in the Market is switch to an AT&T button. Guess it only shows the download button when there's no SIMS card in?
Anyhow I can now get my 3g service now. Sorry if this been explain previously. Tried search couldn't find info on it.
Speed test shows 3036 dl 333 ul so I guess that from previously reading that upload speed are capped ~ 300
Will flash to the Euro was I'm comfortable with the instructions and research on it. I never flashed a Samsung and seems a bit trickier than nexus since I'm so used to Rom Manager and Clockwork Mod.

Yes I'm familiar with this thread as I have been watching it closely for the EURO firmware, but my thing is more about how I can get the 3g to work when I have a dummy APN account set, but it won't work on the ATT Broadband APN account.
I not ready to flash this till I'm fully comfortable with being able to do back ups, restores and flashs.

You tell us, you're the one who made it work

Ok this is exactly what I did.
I went to Mobile settings and went in to APN
It already had the AT&T Broadband APN set up.
I selected to Add New APN thru the menu button
I named it ATT wap
I couldn't enter wap.cingular under APN. It would let me fill in the rest of the information like User, MMSC, etc, but not wap.cingular. I don't know how but it worked. Maybe it's a glitch within the firmware.
At that point I used the backed button and got the notification "The APN cannot be empty"
I selected exit and the 3G icon was at the top. Here's the pics show the 3G icon

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

How about a pic of the APN settings screen instead?

No point. There's no info entered at all. That's the whole point. I never set up anything but for whatever reason when I select ATT wap 3G icon appears.

i have turned off it but after reboot it is again turned on

Yes it does turn back on after restart but on the second time after turning it off I did NOT restart and so far so good !! I will try to keep an eye on it to see if this really helps,
Thanks for this. As It is annoying to see that my connection is keep dropping !
BTW
I am using Buffalo 300mps wifi router

hmmm wondering if it would be possible to create init.d script to disable that power save mode always need to find destination of the value that wifi save mode

Is this any different from Settings -> WiFi -> Advanced -> Keep WiFi On During Sleep ???

I was having this issue and turning wifi psm off helped to fix it. After restart, psm is on again. I like EdgaBimbam's idea to create init.d script !

Yeah that would be nice!!

I am happy to report to say, this trick works as long as you turn it off after a reboot. Since I turned this feature off and obviously not rebooted my wifi is constant and not even dropped once !!

same problem here
trick works, but there has to be another way to fix this permanently.

Is there a fool-proof way to ensure data is not turned on?

My data charges depend on the usage and it's very expensive. Sometimes, somehow my data is accidentally turned on. Is there a fool-proof way to ensure that that never happens? Is there an app that ask me to confirm if I am sure that I want to turn on data?

Go on settings
Press "more"
Go on "mobile networks"
And if data enabled is unmarked that means its off

I don't want to always go through those steps to see if it's off.
And, it doesn't really ensures that it never gets turned on.
Is there another way?

But if you really really want to make sure pop out your sim and that should work trololol but seriously those widgets work! I used them before :thumbup:

Airplane mode... haha that will be sure you wont have data charges!!! lol

I'm guessing you could make a null APN and simply select it, that way your device shouldn't be able to use data until you choose the right APN.

^^ This will definately work.

Quick settings by dragging the top nav bar down.
And just press the mobile data icon if it is on to turn it off.

What about using Tasker or Llama to set up an event to disable mobile data if it is on?

Samsung Galaxy S3 APN Settings For Straight Talk 4G

Before I get started I'd like to say I thought Straight Talk was the worst. But that was because the phone I had before, a Huawei Fusion 2. Take my advise and avoid getting a phone made by Huawei. You get what you pay for. With these APN settings I can talk, text, send pics and get on the internet just fine. Even with two bars the internet is pretty fast. The only downfall with Straight Talk is that you only get 3 GB ( 3072 MB ) for 30 days. That's alright with me for only $45 a month. Not even a year ago it was 1.5 GB before it was 2.5 and now it's 3. People are getting mad about that so now they boost there data limits. I've also heard that if you use over 100 MB's in one day they begin to throttle you. So don't setup a hotspot or tether your phone to a computer. I also advise you to get an app called "data lock lite". You can set a limit on how much data you would like to use. And it always tell's you how much data you have used from your status bar.
