Data speeds on At&t

i recently bought a mytouch 4g unlocked and plugged in my at&t sim card and everything is working and functional, however i am only able to connect to edge when on the internet. it works, however the speed is rather slow, i was wondering if there was any possible way to stay on att and get faster data transfer?? thanks to any replies

No because they use different frequencies for their 3 and 4G networks.

dang thanks for the quick reply...looks like ill have to switch to tmobile to get faster internet, atleast i have the phone already so i wont have to sign a contract to get another

AT&T and T-Mobile uses the same frequencies for 2G, hence your Edge connection. 3G frequencies are different, you'll never get 3G with your MyTouch on AT&T.

Since you own the phone make SURE you get the "Even More Plus" pricing when you sign up with T-Mobile!!! NO CONTRACT and $20 LESS a month.

i9505G - Google Edition on AT&T -- LTE Working?

The title almost says it all.
Anybody out there with the Google edition running on AT&T have LTE speeds working?
Here in the Atlanta metro area, we are supposed to have LTE on AT&T, but the phone HSPA connects with only about 1Mb down and 0.1Mb up speed tests
How do we make sure the phone is ready to work on AT&T LTE? AT&T rep says "check settings" ..... ummmmmmm she probably has an iPhone.

Does your current data plan actually support LTE? Have you had an LTE phone previously?
It usually only comes down to 2 things.
1) APN settings. You can verify by going to Settings (she was right, sort of), More (under Wireless & Networks), then Mobile Networks and APNs. You should be using one named AT&T LTE with an APN name of just "phone".
2) Make sure your data plan specifically says 4G LTE for Smartphones. If it doesn't say LTE, you need to get AT&T to change it.

I've used this app in the past on AOSP roms and such, and it works great.

AT&T is telling me they can not add me to the LTE plan b/c the device is unlocked.

That's a load of ****. Did you call or go to a store? I suggest going to a store. And if you can, make sure its a proper corporate store (and not a random reseller or something).

Mine works fine on T-Mobile LTE. As understand at&t and T-Mobile use the same AWS technology for LTE, just different spectrum.

Sorry, not in Atlanta. But, here in Hawaii I've got LTE on AT&T. It even shows the LTE next to the signal bars.

Did you just swap your sim from one phone to another?
I am curious because on another forum LTE is not working.
Your phone has the LTE icon in the status bar?
thanks

Had the same issue yesterday when I received the phone. Spent an hour at the att store swapping Sim cards, changing imei numbers and trying different apns. Finally did a factory reset and it worked. We felt stupid. Not sure if thats the case with yours but give it a try.
EDIT
Also came across another thread with the same issue and another person said they had to change the IMEI on the account to a demo model. We also did the same with mine just before the reset. Here's the quoted text.
Solved. I went to the ATT store copied down the IMEI of a demo LTE phone. Called support, gave them the IMEI and that allowed them to add an LTE plan.

Thanks everybody for the replies.
We tried all sorts of APN settings, but there seems to be a larger issue here causing problems on many or all Google Edition S4 phones on AT&T's network, and that is the IMEI numbers of these Google Edition phones register with AT&T as not supporting LTE and therefore AT&T's data plan doesn't have LTE enabled for those devices. Many owners of Google Edition phones are having this issue, and are solving it by getting the IMEI number in the system to register as a demo with slightly different numbers. Not all people with Google Edition phones are having this issue, because they are just using a SIM card from a previous AT&T phone that was already properly registered with LTE capabilities.
Seems like AT&T just isn't ready for these new Google Edition phones, and the customer service reps are not usually tech. savvy enough to figure this out.
I might add that I myself am on the T-Mobile network (this post was for my friend on AT&T), and I generally get LTE speeds in excess of 30Mb down and 20Mb up here at work where I get 3 out of 4 bars of signal. In the AT&T store nearby, I got 2/4 bars signal and my speed tests still beat the pants off the demo model AT&T had, which got 3/4 bars signal. I say this because I am paying only $100/month for unlimited everything on TWO 4GLTE phones with T-Mobile, while my wife was paying $120/month for the same with AT&T for only ONE phone. The way AT&T garners exclusive deals on phone model variants that we should all be able to purchase and jacks up the prices of service to double that of the competitors, it's time for people to jump ship and force them to become more competitive.

I'm in the same boat. My previous phone (Galaxy Nexus) was not LTE-capable, so after getting a new SIM card for my new i9505g, it's only connecting at HSPA speed. Online chat with AT&T rep wasn't very fruitful. They are saying that the phone is showing up as "unrecognized device" and is causing the issue, and there's nothing they can do about that.
I am about to take a trip to an actual store to see if they have more knowledgeable staff there. Any tips or tricks (or super-secret handshakes) I should know about while talking to them?

Yeah put your sim in an LTE capable att device, have them add the imei and you'll get the LTE plan. You should be good after that. Othwerwise, have them add a dummy imei or one from a display phone. Good luck at the store as this will probably blow their mind.:good:

It went surprisingly well. The rep knew exactly what the problem was (he figured it was a phone shipped from overseas) and went the dummy IMEI route. Within 10 minutes I had LTE.

Nice one. Glad you got someone that knew what's up!

finally got LTE on AT&T
Hey all! I have been scouring the internet trying to get my LTE to work for the past two days I have used every APN I could find as well as downloaded ther notification toggle app to try to enable LTE.
at one point I did have a LTE data plan but I guess not anymore...
anyways I went on the my att.com account and I somehow got to two different technical support chat windows. The first time I gave him my real IMEI# from my I9505G and he couldn't add the LTE plan because it was not recognized as an ATT phone. I then got a friends ATT phone she is no longer using that has/had LTE on it and after telling me it didn't work, then finally on the third time using 'technical support' she didn't ask for any IMEI number at all just told me it worked.
(I think it was the live chat I found on the support section of my AT&T or something) I am only mentioning this because of the three times I was on live chat I got one texct survey this morning (I was on live chat last night 3x)
I gave all 1's out of 10 (worst possible) but mentioned the chat person was friendly and that I was just unhappy with AT&T.
AT&T then called me this afternoon about the survey and asked if I wanted them to fix the issue..... Was this a real question?
I said yes and now I have LTE working great using the default phone APN that was on the phone from the factory.
Hope this helps some ATT users!!!

Will T-Mobile LTE tablet work on ATT network?

Hi,
Can you please help me out with this question - will T-Mobile LTE Tablet work on ATT network (LTE).
I want to get the LTE version of the Galaxy note but I dont want to use T-Mobile network but would like to use a ATT network on it.
I was wondering if the tablet will get the LTE speed on ATT network?
Thank you.
Regards,

I'd tried it last night- the P607T is SIM-locked to a T-Mo SIM. I normally buy my tablets outright, but at 0% financing and $20/mo for 3GB 'til the end of the year, I went contract for this one. But the good news is in 90 days I can ask for my SIM unlock code (if I don't find a way to hack it beforehand ).

Hi, thanks for some clarification. But do you think it will work with AAT? do you see any issues with band thing.

Oh, sorry- yeah, I'm nearly certain it will. T-Mo is 1700/2100 (AWS) and now 1900 in the markets they'd won from AT&T after the failed merger, and AT&T is 1900 and 850 (see here for details). T-Mo is on LTE Band 4, and AT&T is on Bands 2,4, and 17 (see here for details).
The SM-P607T is LTE on bands 1/2/4/5/7/17 and HSPA+/UMTS on 850/AWS/1900/2100MHz (see here for full specs), so I'm sure it'll work on any North American network at full speeds (SIM lock issue notwithstanding).
But I'm fairly unhappy with the T-Mo signals I'm getting in the San Francisco area when I'm outside the city; I have the hardest time keeping data going when I'm on CalTrain, whereas my OG Note 10.1 on AT&T only had an issue in the tunnels. I'm going to have to either flash a better(?) radio (I'm willing to give up LTE for better UMTS) or find a way to SIM unlock this baby ASAP so I can go on AT&T.

Do you already have a plan for removing the SIM Subsidy lock? I've heard that even with bought-outright tablets it's some work to get T-Mo to recognize that.

I did not try to root it and have no plans to do so, I'm happy the way it is now, just want to let everybody knows that this version is SIM UNLOCK.

It's confirmed! I'd gone to Cellunlocker.net and SIM-unlocked my device (I'd previously tried IMEI-Unlocker.com, but they weren't able to do it), and tried a Net-10 SIM from my phone and was able to get LTE on AT&T .
I've got a real AT&T SIM at home that's currently in my OG Note 10.1, but I don't think that one's provisioned for LTE- in any case I'll post a Screenshot from the Network Status Monitor app in a few hrs.
I got a good deal on data from T-Mo (200MB free + 1GB free 'till 12/31/14 + $2GB for $20 = 3.2GB for $20/mo), but the signal just isn't there when I need it on my commute and an AT&T iPad data plan is just $30 for 3GB (and far more reliable for me).

... and after re-registering my AT&T "iPad" data SIM for LTE, I can now confirm I get LTE on AT&T.
I have a full-size VZW SIM laying around that's got an old Moto Xoom $20/1GB plan on it I haven't gotten rid of yet- I'll see if I can get a VZW store to give me a new Micro-SIM and see if that works, too.

Caveat - VZW has some LTE Band 4 (which we have), but is primarily Band 13- which we don't have in the P607T- so as soon as I'd gone outside the SF city limits, I got no signal.

Hi all.
I have a problem I'm hoping to get some feedback on. So I have the t-mobile version of this tablet. I unlocked the network via cellunlocker.net.
It reads my at&t iPad Sim just fine and lte works. Then all of a sudden I keep getting no data error. All apps that require data star that there is a net work error.
Basically the data keeps timing out. I have verified the apn settings for att broadband from my att note 8.0. So they are fine.
Anyone else experiencing this problem with an att sim?

FWIW, I've run many GBs of data thru my AT&T SIM (across a fair stretch of the SF Bay Area's Peninsula) and haven't had this problem; I suspect the above poster may be in a marginal AT&T (LTE?) area.
One of the things @biswasd could try is flashing the Nordic P605 4.4.2 ROM (which I've modified to prevent Odin errors from trying to reflash the bootloaders and radios and have uploaded here); I'm currently running this (with zero issues) and there's a new selection in "Mobile Data" that allows you to do only 3G/2G data; when I'm on the train in the a.m. this helps as the radio will try hanging onto an LTE signal longer than it needs to as I'm doing 75MPH and who knows how many tower handoffs (and I will see temporary data stalls sometimes when on LTE Auto Select).

That's good to hear. I'm also in the Bay Area and have been on AT&T forever. But I'm tired of their locked bootloaders and lack of updates on their Android tablets. My Note 8.0 i467 is still on 4.1 and will be on the market soon if the P607T works well on AT&T LTE.
This is the first time I'm trying a TMobile variant. Once it arrives from Amazon, I have to unlock it, root it, and maybe try the ROM you mentioned. Any other ROM recommendations? Especially to get rid of the TW lag.

It's too late for you now, but for others- unless you're getting a significantly-lower price than $600 for a P607T, T-Mo US' "$0" down (really ~$65; you have to buy a SIM for $10 and pay Sales Tax on $600 up front, at least here in Cali) and 0% financing offer can't be beat, esp. since you get 1GB/mo for free 'till the end of 2014 and 200MB/mo for life after that.

Don't know; didn't look, but normally I don't 'cause aftermarket ROMs on high-end Samsung devices tend to have missing features anyway so I never bother. I even like the standard kernel (despite it being non-OCed and sooo many revs back) that I'm not going to bother publishing an upgraded kernel like I usually do on the other tablets I've owned.

Verizon Note 3 on Straight Talk

So my 2 year contract through Verizon finally ended thank God, and I decided to switch to Straight Talk through their BYOP Activation Kit at Walmart. I followed all the steps through the kit and found on the Web just to be safe and got it running on the T-Mobile sim. My only problem is that I cannot get 4G LTE. I get 3G but it will not let me do anything on 3G and when I try to do something involving data or messaging it switches to H+ just long enough to do these things. I have rooted the phone and ensured that Band 4 is activated through the Service Mode on my phone and still nothing. I have even tried multiple APNs. Is it maybe just that there is little to no T-Mobile 4G around here? Running Android 4.4.2 by the way.

I am having a similar issue. It's the Verizon Note 3 on Straight Talk AT&T sim. I get H+ but no LTE. I am running stock 4.4.2 not rooted. I really like this phone but if I can't get my 4G LTE working on it I will sell or trade for a AT&T branded note 3 unlocked. I know what part of the problem is. It's the way Verizon sets up their phones. They are LTE capable yes, but Vzw makes sure those capable bands are with their sim cards and frequencies.
I'll have to do some searching on XDA but I think I remember seeing something about rooting the phone, getting into the hidden menu, and changing the bands to the st att sim will get 4G LTE. If someone could chime in here to verify this and point me in that direction it would be great.

On mine with root access I can get into Service mode and apparently by default since one of the latest updates from Verizon their Note 3 has Band 4 enabled. I know if you have AT&T you can select different bands through service mode as well however with my T-Mobile sim changing this simply makes it not work. Could that be what you're referring to?

Yes but it's not working for me. I found out the ONLY way to get the Verizon note 3 to work on Straight Talk AND get LTE is to use the cmda part of the phone, I:E call ST, give them a cdma activation code, and have them switch your service over to the cdma part of the phone.

Well it looks like that's what I'll be doing then because H+ just isn't cutting it. Although it is better than Verizon 3G, considering I hardly got 4G through Verizon anyway.

yeah I hear ya. H+ is ok, but 4G LTE it is NOT!....lol. Keep in mind Straight Talk still doesn't "Guaranty" 4G LTE service. Like most people, I have found that Straight Talk LOVES to quid pro quo themselves out of any responsibility for their service faults. They will blame it on your phone, your area, heck, they will even blame your lack of signal on you when they can saying you did something to your phone to make it not work.
Their customer service is their biggest downfall. But like most companies that have truck loads of money they can afford to not really care.

So my 2 year contract through Verizon finally ended thank God, and I decided to switch to Straight Talk through their BYOP Activation Kit at Walmart. I followed all the steps through the kit and found on the Web just to be safe and got it running on the T-Mobile sim. My only problem is that I cannot get 4G LTE. I get 3G but it will not let me do anything on 3G and when I try to do something involving data or messaging it switches to H+ just long enough to do these things. I have rooted the phone and ensured that Band 4 is activated through the Service Mode on my phone and still nothing. I have even tried multiple APNs. Is it maybe just that there is little to no T-Mobile 4G around here? Running Android 4.4.2 by the way.

Straight talk now has Verizon LTE Sim cards. Switch to the Straight Talk Verizon network and purchase their LTE Sim card and you will get a better Verizon coverage and get LTE working.

Well that's good to know. I ended up calling ST after making this thread and when I told them it was a Verizon phone they acted like it was impossible to activate 4G even after I explained it was a world phone. Once I requested to speak to a supervisor they told me they would "work on it and give me a call back". A few days later my phone mysteriously started getting 4G LTE haha.

N6 T-mobile Great on Verizon

Hey guys, to all who are wondering... T-Mobile stores do have some stock of the blue Nexus 6 32gb today, didn't have an issue getting mine. I do have an account with a single line on T-Mobile that I do not use, so I used that account and paid for device in full ($650). Out of the box, it works great on Verizon. Voice quality is much better than Droid Turbo and iPhone 6+. Data speeds are strong (75mbps down & 30up) on LTE.
All I had to do to activate on Verizon was either let device self activate with Verizon SIM that takes about 5 minutes, or by going into Settings - More - Cellular and toggling Global mode.
The reason I made this thread is incase somebody who is like me and got tired of waiting for Google and Moto to have stock and wanted to purchase it via T-Mobile and use on another carrier. My friend works in a retail store and he said that even if you do not have an account with them, you can still buy you at full cost.

Does that mean its sim unlock?

Yes, it works too.

can you try terthering?

if this works i think i will ask one of my boys who has t mobile to get me a phone out right.. i want the 64gb version tho..

My question is. Will Verizon whitelist the numbers from tmobile later down the line doh and block it from working on their towers. ?

Why would you do that? I have it set to LTE and it seems to keep onto an LTE signal longer compared to "Global" mode, which I would use if I was traveling overseas and inserted a local SIM into my device.

But wouldn't it lose signal if you leave lte coverage and drop to 3g? Since Verizon is CDMA.

No. Even my current moto x is in global and it switches between LTE and 3g just fine

Wait but you just said that yours is in Global and switches just fine. Would it switch fine while on LTE?

I changed mine to LTE, using this way for 2 days, swiched to CDMA couple of times.. mine is a Moto store N6

Does hotspot work or is it blocked like AT&T?

Sorry, I don't have an ATT Sim. I only tried it for a few minutes when my friend was here to ensure that the device worked.

I have a t-mobile nexus 6 with a Verizon SIM. Hotspot works on Verizon if you switch the cellular mode to LTE. It didn't work for me when in global mode which was the default out if the box.

No. Same radio as iPhone 6. Unfortunately we lose this until VoLTE is a more adopted thing.

Just tested it and I cannot get simultaneous voice and data over a cellular connection on Verizon with the Nexus 6.

God I love you right now lol, I am sick of the play store **** so I am probably just going to buy mine on prepaid online tommorow and have it shipped.
