I was playing around with the free tethering via using a new APN and totally forgot which one of the preloaded locked ones should be chosen if not using it. Is it:
AT&T US
wap.cingluar
or
AT&T US HSDPA
phone
thanks

AT&T US HSDPA out of the box on my phone.
Mine was set to at&t US out of the box, but I was doing a shared upgrade, so I was using my old sim. Anyone else want to chime in?
just set a new custom one that was posted here for unlimited data

Would someone mind posting their APN Settings for US HSDPA please? Almost all the settings are blank on mine except for name: AT&T US HSPDA, APN: phone, MCC:310, MMNC: 410, and APN Type: default,supl,agps,fota,dun

Mine is also mostly blank, is it because I used my old 3g sim, or maybe these settings only work if you pay for the tethering option?
When I choose AT&T US HSPDA I don't have internet access at all.

I'm using that APN with the same settings and my 3G sim out of my 3GS with no issues. You may need to validate the data plan you have with AT&T. Since I was on the Enterprise iPhone Unlimited plan, they moved me to the Smartphone Data Unlimited 4G Plan with 200 SMS. Not sure what plan you're on, but maybe that has something to do with it.....
I just called AT&T and gave them an Atrix 4G IMEI in order for them to reprovision my Nexus 4 to have access to faster H+ speeds. I checked my online att account to verify that I am correctly provisioned and it says that I am.
When I check features on my phone on the ATT website it says DataPro 3GB for Smartphones 4G
Which APN do I need to connect to in order to take advantage of the faster speeds? I read that I need to add APN 3 and combine it with 5. I am a little confused about the combining it with APN 5. I created two separate APNs (one for APN 3 and one for APN5) using the settings found here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31135-att-apns-for-custom-roms/
I have APN 3 selected and I rebooted my phone.
Did I do something wrong? When I rebooted my phone I have signal but I can only make calls. I have no data access. Now I do live pretty far out from the city so I only get E (edge) speeds anyway. On APN 2 I get E but on APN 3 I am not getting any data access. I am provisioned for 4G so why is APN 3 not working for me? Did I do something wrong?
You should've just listened to me the first time around. The APN 3/5 is an LTE APN and you would need an LTE provision to access that APN.
You'll have to stick with APN 2 and APN 1/4 as its backup (MMS and such). PTA APNs are LTE based and cannot be accessed without an LTE provision

Ok so what do do I exactly? Sorry I need a clear answer.
EDIT: OHHHHH I think I know what you mean. The Atrix 4G not 4G LTE and the Skyrocket is.
I do still have one question however. Once I get reprovisioned for LTE how do I combine APN 3 and 5 as you said? Do I add 3 and 5 as two separate listings or do I literally use all the settings for APN 3 and 5 in one APN?
I'm using APN 5, but in "APN type", I have "default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hipri"
I read the info from a guide. Guess it's time to research what those terms mean.
Ok, so I just got my N4 last night and so far I am very impressed with it, especially being my first android phone. However, the data speeds seem quite slow, can someone please help me out?
Using this APN I am connected to HSPA + on AT&T but am only getting around 1 Mbps both up and down. Does anyone know what could be causing me to have such slow speeds?

I'm on an AT&T family plan with a sim card pulled from an iphone 5. (Not sure if I answered your question, im not on prepaid though)
I have the same issues. I signed up for at&t family shared 10gb for 3 lines a month ago. I have the GS3 and 2 iphone 5's. 2 weeks ago i bought the nexus 4 and the speeds are bad compared to LTE. I get 3-4 down and 1 up. I used the following APN settings. So far its the best one's that work.
http://forums.androiddoes.net/showt...to-get-good-AT-amp-T-HSPA-speeds-with-Nexus-4
the Nexus 4 works best on t-mobile in the US only because they support HSPA+ while at&t is HSPA and LTE.
AT&T is building up their LTE markets and not upgrading their current HSPA.
Are you referring to the pta one or the phone one? On the pta one I don't get a data connection.
-Bump
Ok you do not get any data with pta apn because your sim is not provisioned for LTE(even if LTE is on your plan). My daughter had an iphone 4s(we have a data share plan which includes LTE) and I switched her to my GS3. She also didn't get any data using the pta APN. I just called at&t and told them they needed to provision it for LTE because the LTE apn wasn't working. They put me on hold, provisioned the sim for LTE and had me reboot and then the PTA apn worked. It was the same deal for my mom when she went from a HSPA+ phone to a LTE phone. She got no data at first until I called and told them her old phone was HSPA+ and her new one was LTE. That's when I learned they have to reprovision it. Of course they wouldn't need to do this if you had originally had an LTE phone

Could it have to do with the Nexus 4 not supporting LTE, only HSPA+?

Do you mind testing a few things?
If so, Could you press the menu icon (bottom right corner) in the APNs settings, then select restore to default.
Then power off the device, Open APNs Settings again, and check to be sure the default APN (Should be the only one listed) is selected (Has the blue dot to the far right) then wait a few second, and power the device off and on again..
After devices is back on, check your internet, go to any webpage (other than a google one)
If still not working fast enough, go Back to APNs settings..
Add New, and try these settings...

Delete the First APN... enable the one you just created (press the radio button so that it turns blue)
then restart the phone.
Remember this phone does not support LTE service, so you may need to have your account provisioned to HSPA+ and not LTE.
Note: The can provision each line of service individually, just not sure if it can be done that way with the Data Share Plans (they did not have those when I worked there.)
I just got my Galaxy S4 yesterday and I am working on optimising it for speed and performance. One of the things that I noticed in the network settings is that I think I APN is set incorrectly.
I have a Nexus 4 and in order to get the best data speed I had to use the AT&T LTE APN or (PTA). I am assuming this should be the same on the Galaxy S4 yet when I go into my APN settings I have the AT&T PHONE APN.
It is my understanding that the Phone APN can only get HSPA+ and not LTE. Since this is an LTE phone shouldn't we use the PTA LTE APN?
I have ATT Phone as APN and I get LTE. Not sure about the other one you mentioned.

Maybe the PHONE APN is capable of receiving LTE but I am curious if the PTA APN would get faster data speeds.
RootzWiki http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31135-att-apns-for-custom-roms/
This post indicates that the PTA APN gets (All the Mbps)
Mine is using the PHONE APN and i have no problems getting LTE. Just did a speed test and i'm getting speeds of 50+Mbps over LTE so it seems to be working fine for me.
PHONE is an APN that AT&T umbrella'd all types of data connectivity under. PHONE will automatically choose to connect to the fastest available network in your area. PTA is what they were putting on phones when LTE phones were first being released, but since then, PHONE is the primary APN one should be using. Using PTA won't hurt anything, and should work fine, but why bother if PHONE is already programmed in there.
At least, that's what they the us at my AT&T Data Support call center I work at :/

Anyone know how to save new APNs? I'm on Omega ROM for the i9505, which has the old Cingular WAP settings in there but no 'ATT Phone' settings so I can use the LTE.
I enter the new APN then go to menu, and then save. However, instead of saving it just goes back to the screen with the one Cingular APN like I never entered or saved anything....

Hello! Yep I'm still kicking. Since the Inspire I went SGS2 > SGS3 > HTC One.
Hello folks,
Data wasn't working for Total Wireless on my Verizon Moto G4 Play XT1609. APN settings are missing on the phone, so you'll need the app below to add the proper APN settings on your phone. After a couple days of searching on the net, I couldn't find anything that worked, so here's what I did that finally worked for me.
Download Change APN from the Google Play Store.

Open Change APN app and tap the + sign to add your APN settings for Total Wireless.

I'm aware, but EDGE and HSPAP are strictly GSM. What I'm asking is how those settings even worked, especially when so many units are suffering from the APN crash inherent to all ROMs right now.

I'm specifically speaking about the Verizon Moto G4 Play XT1609 version phone. I ported my sister over from H2O to Total Wireless. I used a TW sim to activate to a TW 4G phone. I then took that sim and popped it into the Moto G4 Play. My sister reported that data wasn't working, so I installed Change APN app from Google Play store..
I added the TW apn settings from above into the Change APN app, saved it, restarted the phone and all was good. Obviously you're not going to have data & voice work simultaneously, but you can use Hangouts Dialer to get around that if needed. I hope that clears up any confusion.

He's using the Verizon Prepaid Moto G4 Play, it is a CDMA /LTE device. No EDGE or HSPA. I hope this clarifies his use of a Verizon G4 Play on a VZW mvno.

I'm not understanding what you're trying to say. The apn settings are for Total Wireless, a Verizon MVNO. I'm not or was not suggesting the phone would work for GSM networks. The Change APN app only allows you to edit/add apn settings, and those are the apn settings I found and used for Total Wireless.

Yes, unlock the phone first. I did not activate the phone at all with Verizon, but I did use an active TW sim card. Be sure not to turn the phone on with the Verizon Prepaid sim before getting the phone unlocked.

Too late, already activated. Do you think there may be problems trying to get the phone to work with TW? I ran the IMEI number through their website and it said the phone is compatible.

There are multiple problems with what you are saying. First, Total Wireless is a subsidiary of America Movil, same as Tracfone, StraightTalk, Net10, TelCel and Family Mobile. Considering I just had to fight with Tracfone to get a VZW APN (on a different phone) to work yesterday, the APN name was VZWINTERNET but it lacked some of the text strings you supplied, and could not be edited by the user. It also seemed to vanish after the phone was programmed properly.
The "Bearer" line shouldn't look like that. Most carriers and MVNOs leave it as "Not Set" or unspecified. So this is junk data the phone will discard at best or be confused by at worst. My concern was that those settings would be rejected by Verizon and you wouldn't be able to obtain an IP address, since similar things can and have happened on the AT&T side (which is what my primary uses).
And once again, this doesn't exactly fix things for those using the 1607 model. People have tried your trick extensively, but the ROMs currently being used are Dual SIM and don't recognize CDMA technology as being valid. As such, they either get Voice/NoData, or Data/NoVoice. They're not reading MEIDs or IMEIs correctly, favoring one over the other, and that's what we believe to be part of the problem. So forgive me for being cynical about this.

I'm just telling you what I did for my sister's Verizon Prepaid Moto G4 Play XT1609 phone on Total Wireless. Anyone with the same exact model phone should be able to replicate what I did. Maybe this will not work on other models, but it worked for me using the Change APN app using those EXACT apn settings. I don't see why you would be so cynical about this, and I only posted this to help others out that may have the same issue I had, nothing more, nothing less buddy.
Here's where I found the TW apn settings that worked for me. https://www.reddit.com/r/NoContract/comments/4pkhoh/total_wireless_4g_apn_settings/

1607 has both a GSM/LTE and a CDMA/LTE antenna. 1609 only has a CDMA/LTE antenna and its LTE bands are locked to a smaller range.

So if TW is an MVNO of Verizon, shouldn't this phone work with their service by just changing the APN settings, as Phenom727 suggests?
