I searched and havent really been able to find an answer, but is it possible for the Verizon s5 to work on metropcs? I currently have a sprint s3 flashed over but it's old and is starting to fall apart so I wanna replace it. I appreciate and input!
Nobody? :\
Yes it works. I'm currently using a verizon s5 with metro pcs. Getting lte too.
Apn
What are the APN settings?
Here ya go

EDIT: SOLVED!
If you have an unlocked Vibrant and want it on AT&T, the automatic settings may be incorrect! Go to Settings->Wireless and Network->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names and make sure there is an APN with the following settings:
Name: whatever_you_want_the_name_to_be
APN: wap.cingular
Port: 9201
MMSC: mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
I went through a similar problem when I was evaluating getting an International Galaxy S and trying to make it work on Tmobile's 3G network. I found this comprehensive article on why 3G is carrier specific in the US in comparison to overseas.
http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=99&p=1492
I'm not an RF expert, but I'm guessing that there is some programability in the phones of the Galaxy S line, so it might be possible for someone to take the Vibrant firmware and flash that to another Galaxy S phone and make it work on Tmobile. If you find any information on this (I think there are should be more threads on this on the Galaxy S section or ask in the developers area) please let me know.
So a few days ago my text messaging completely stopped working.
Cannot figure out why.
Was prodding GoPhone today for a solution for my "Razr"...when he said 'btw, your sim card says you have a Samsung phone'...'did you put a Samsung sim in your phone?!
I did ditch my gophone sim a couple weeks ago and got 4g sim from Att.
He said thats your problem.
My understanding was they couldnt tell from sims or imeis?
Wonder if the gigs up with.prepaid smartphoners.

Not all Samsung phones are smartphones. I'm confused, didn't you begin this with the premise that you were working with a prepaid go phone sim card?

Yeah I did....but was could not get the H+...or any data at all (perhaps I didn't wait long enough)...So I walked into an Att store and got a 4G card.
All worked well til last weekend til the problems began.
You activate it with a dumb phone, then changed your APN's in the Note to match right?

Welp... That was quick... They called me out on my $15/mo unlimited pretty quickly...
I went into ATT...got another 4G similar card....text/MMS working fine now.
However I DO think they are monitoring activity close now.
I've already sent a few MMS's ....which when identified, I believe will have ATT nix these functions again.
Ah well....it'll be the 4G plan and contract at that point.
I wonder when att will carry the note

APN Name: AT&T Phone HSPA+
APN: phone
Type: Internet
For MMS I think the APN is:
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMSC proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
MCC/MNC: leave default (310/410)
APN type: internet + mms
That's what I have and it works for me. I'm on a grandfathered unlimited plan, the phone is usually on H+ but due to my crap signal here it drops to 3G once in a while.

I don't think the gophone, or the medianet plans are supposed to touch 4g at all, aren't they 3g plans?
You use different settings for them. It's probably the 4g that got you busted.

People are getting caught because they are using the wrong data APN's.
use the following apn settings for your samsung at&t compatible 3g device. This will let you use hspa+ aka fake 4g.

Where is the field that causes the trouble. I've collected a handful of these apn settings. They are all a little different.

From what I can tell, there are only two correct sets of APN settings; the newer 4g data plan settings, and the older data plan settings that incorporate the dumbphone plans. It may look like you've seen more different sets than that, but I think if you look closely and ignore the "Name:" field, you'll see they all boil down to one of two. The name doesn't matter and it's only for you on the phone to identify the settings. It never gets transmitted to the network.
So you'll see several variations of it as different people think of different names to give that set of settings, but there are only two functioning APN settings' for AT&T.

We should perhaps take a survey of people who got busted, but the 4G specific APNs seem to all have a null APN and APN proxy.
The 'safe' medianet ones seems to all have an APN of wap.cingular.

What type of phone (cheapest) needs to be purchased with the GoPhone plan in order to have the Unlimited Data plan? I was considering StraightTalk but the cheapest phone that comes SIM-ready is $99 (E71 Refurbished).
Thanks!
When i got busted I think i was using the
Name broadband
Apn broadband
You can get a strong connection with that but it signals Att in a not good way I think.
The Apns without the username and password I think are best....ie keeps you under the radar better.
i am getting my international note today however i had a couple questions if anyone could possibly help
Will my LTE sim card work on the note?
how would i setup my APN since AT&T thinks i am using their version of the note
( i think it was the PTA apn but i'm not quite sure )
Yes, you LTE SIM should work fine.
On the LTE data plans for AT&T, all three smartphone APN's should work:
wap.cingular
Phone
pta
Google them for the proper settings.
isp.cingular
-and-
Broadband
shouldn't work (unless you're on a tiered plan w/ the tethering feature added).
The upshot of this is that if you're grandfathered into an unlimited plan, with the international Note, even though you're not using LTE, you'll still retain the LTE plan, so you won't get throttled until 5gb instead of 3.
I'm using International note with LTE Sim and have had no issues (other than missing LTE speeds )
I need to switch mine over so they think I'm using they're note i just feel weird going in there asking for a note to use. Steal the imei and bust my note out to jot it down....

im using the lte sim and using pta. ive tried all of the apn's but the pta one works far better where i am than the others. i recommend trying them all and do a few speed tests to find the one that works for you. thats how i found out the best one. i was getting 10-13mbps with the phone and wap combo and i get 14-18mbps with the pta.
leave the imei from the att one on your acct too thats very important att's system thinks its a i717...

Hello all,
I've had a heck of a time to get my Nexus 4 data speeds where they should be.
I originally had, and still have, an iPhone 5 with the nanoSIM. I purchased a nanoSIM to microSIM adapter on Amazon and slipped it into my Nexus. The WAP settings allow SMS/MMS & phone to work, but data is dismal at best. I get all of 0.1Mbps/10Kbps per second. It's awful.
I've scoured the web, XDA-developers, Android Central, etc., all with no luck. I've got at least 5 APN's that I've tried and tested, rebooting my phone after each APN switch, and the speedtest (dot) net app still shows 0.1Mbps/10Kbps per second download.
My current settings are:
If you have an iPhone 5 LTE plan shared with a new Nexus 4 and want to swap SIMS without calling AT&T just create the following APN on your Nexus and you'll be fully operational on both devices.
#Nexus4 #iPhone5
Name: (Anything you want.)
APN: phone
Proxy:
Port:
Username:
Password:
Server:
MMSC: h t t p : / / mmsc.mobile.att.net

MMS port: 80

MNC: 410
Authentication type:
APN type: default,mms,supl

These are my current settings.
Is there anything I need to do to provision my SIM to work with the Nexus 4? Is it because my data plan is an "iPhone" data plan as far as AT&T is concerned? Help!
Being told that my AT&T Network unlocked S7 edge won't work on T-Mobile for Data?
Does anyone know if this is true?
Is there anyway around this?
I tried there recommended APN settings and I can't get Data?
I'm on Android 7.0, Build Number NRD90M.G935AUCU4BQD4
See post #4 there is a fix!!!

Do you have a T-Mobile sim card? You can use AT&T unlocked phones on T-Mobile networks but not 100% usage. AT&T phones do not use 1700, or 12 LTE band.

Yes. Of course. Talk and text are working, just unable to get data.
I went to the T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge forum, and Flashed T-Mobile Firmware, using a modified version of ODIN, and a PIT file.
My phone now boots up as a T-Mobile Phone, In Settings, About Device shows as SM-G9
All At&T bloatware is gone, and now have T-Mobile apps.
I even received a Software update push from T-Mobile, which downloaded and installed.
I never had to root. Android pay works, Data works.
Basically just converted a SM-G935A into a SM-G935T
Here's a link to the thread if anyone else needs to do this.
