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.

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

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.

AT&T MMS woes

Ok, so this is really annoying and any help would be appreciated. I am spending the summer in a place where there is no 3G (i know right...) and only edge. Problem is that whenever i try and send a picture it will just sit on sending and nothing will ever happen (besides my battery dying...). I can't seem to get pictures either. The weird thing is that i traveled to somewhere with 3G today (Nashville, TN) and the pictures still didn't send. Now i know Edge is super slow, so i tried sending a small picture, 290 x 343 @ 40KB and that wouldn't send either, so file size is not the problem. Also i have tried both of these APNs, XDA and Reddit with no luck. Please don't be useless and recommend checking my APN settings because i have already done that multiple times unless you have a different one that works. I am on a postpaid ATT iPhone 5 (LTE) plan. Thank you for any useful replies. Possibly throw some BTC to whoever helps me resolve this.
Edit: Also I would like to make clear that data works while on edge, just not MMS.

First, you are on the wrong plan. You should be on the non iPhone, non LTE smartphone plan. I'm not sure if that is making a difference, but second, did you try the apns I posted in that xda thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40899440

A) There is nothing wrong with being on an LTE plan, that's how so many people got their LTE to work. Secondly the iPhone portion should be find since the data works, it's the MMS that doesn't and MMS is a standard. I will try those APN settings and report back shortly.
EDIT: Tried your APN settings, same thing, stuck on sending since i replied to your post.

I pretty much figured that because the plans should be backward compatible. It may not make difference which plan you have, but AT&T sure makes a big deal about it. If those apns didn't work for you, then it is unlikely you have an apn issue. MMS is not hard to get working. You can use the two apn setup I provided or one of the single apns and as long as you have MMS in the apn type, it should work. Just make sure you are entering EXACTLY as it should be, or it will not work. Idk if AT&T will assist you since you have an unsupported device, but if you call them, the first thing they are gonna do is switch your plan. Are you rooted or not? Have you tried a factory reset.

Yes and yes, the problem arose when i arrived in this place with Edge only, previously my phone had never seen Edge. Nothing will send on edge, and when i traveled to Nashville yesterday the items still didn't send nor did any new ones even though i was connected to 3G. I doubt it is an APN problem since it was working (somewhat) fine in SLC.

Ok so something weird, it seems the problem is with my texting app. Lightflow will flash the LED signalling I received an MMS, and i will get a notification in the web portal for mighty text saying the same thing, but from my phone nothing is shown. Any ideas? Currently reflashing the latest version of PA Gapps.

Just curious, did you "delete / cancel" the stuck MMS messages, before trying to send new ones?
I have seen issues with this in the past.

Yes, i deleted the previous messages before attempting to send again.

So i reflashed gapps and all the messages people tried to send me showed up with a button to download the content, but every time I click on it it fails. Pictures still won't send as well. Also there is a new icon to the right of "sending".

Just reflashed stock and pictures seem to be sending fine, not sure though yet, and haven't been able to get anyone to send me one yet, this is with the stock APN settings. Gonna change to the ones listed here (the ones i was using) and we will see how that goes. And yes this thread will be bumped all to hell until this is resolved.

Flashed stock, and changed APN settings to the ones i was previously using, and MMS is fully functional now. Though this we have concluded that the problem MIGHT lie with PA. Going to attempt a completely clean flash of PA and i will report the results.

Lollipop Hotspot, no root or flashing needed

The steps:
Go to Dialer and enter ##DATA# (##3282#)
Press "view" then enter APN Settings
For both "APN2 EHRPD internet" and "APN2 LTE internet" change APN Type from "default,mms" to "default,mms,dun"
After you enter the change, hit Menu -> Save before going to the next APN.
And that's it. That easy. It works for both Hotspot and USB tethering. Seems too easy, but that's all I had to do. work wifi and bluetooth

i now beacuse i try in a moto g and ask msl

You are a life saver, I soft bricked my phone last night, had no back up, and found the Official Lollipop 5.0. I just needed my hotspot back with out rooting again and this works perfectly so far!

You need MSL code to add dun to apn settings
AFAIK, getting to the Edit screen of the ##DATA## settings triggers the MSL code dialog. emanuelrv is saying to click "View." When I do that on Sprint Galaxy S5, the settings are greyed out. You can't change.
If you call Sprint and tell the support person you need the MSL code because you are thinking of switching phones and using that one on another carrier. (There are other reasons you would need the MSL, but this is one likely safe one.) If the first support person gives you a problem, say "Thanks anyways," call back and try another rep.
Once you get MSL code, choose "Edit" and do as original post said. Add "dun"

Sprint Galaxy S5 Marshmallow 6.0.1 update 4/4/16
I received the Marshmallow 6.0.1 update OTA from Sprint about 3 hours ago. I used the same codes to access the Hotspot section. Access was granted, but the APN TYPE was greyed out. I couldn't activate the Hotspot function. Is there a fix or different process for Marshmallow?
Thanks!

I tried updating the good lock app and the settings are still grayed out. Any other thoughts on this? I think it must have to do with prl/ profile updates after marshmallow. For the people it works for on marshmallow, did you have the apn settings modified before you updated? I'm wondering if they will stick if I go back to OK4 and then update again. Thanks.

For anyone that has/had troubles like me with the grayed out apn settings I found that wifi tether router by Fabio Grasso worked for me. I used the settings for s5/s6 and lollipop on his site and it works perfectly. Note you will need root for this. Hope this helps someone.

Under cellular networks its a setting called enhanced 4g lte. That is what enables volte. *#*#4636#*#* will take you to a menu to check bands and other stuff.

WiFi calling and VoLTE both work out of the box on T-Mobile. You can download the LTE Discovery app which will tell you what band you're connected to

On my previous t-mobile branded phones the setting has been:
APN type: default,mms,supl
Not sure if it matters or resoved any problems, but I edited mine to match.

If I am on LTE with VoLTE, I stay on LTE. If I am on HSPA+, I drop to Edge while on a call.
Not all LTE towers support VoLTE yet. Find someone else on T-Mobile with a VoLTE and see if you get HD calling. You can really hear the difference. It sounds like a Skype to Skype call.
My APN settings are the defaults for T-Mobile. You can reset them to defaults when in the APN menu from the three dots drop down.
The first one if for data and Assisted GPS (default,supl).
The second one is Wi-Fi calling (ims). Not sure if it is used by VoLTE.
The third is for MMS (mms).

Pure Edition XT1575 - No APN settings

Just bought a Pure Edition from Amazon, before I even installed my Sprint sim card. I have noticed that under cellular networks, APN is nowhere to be found.
I was not sure if my phone was defective or that was a normal thing. The phone is stock, I even did a factory reset to make sure.
If anyone can chime I that would​ be great!
Basically, trying to access the APN settings so I can add tethering on my phone. Unless there is another way without root.

Root won't help... Even most custom ROMs honor the SIM's settings.
Have you contacted your carrier to have them re-send the activation signal? That is needed on some carriers.

APN doesn't control bands. They need to activate it and send the configuration message. Just the way Sprint works. @MotoJunkie01 might have some insight here.

Why would rooting kill your battery? It should have no effect on battery life by itself.
Maybe we are looking at this the wrong way, what is the problem you are having that you think you need to access APN settings to correct?

I assume you have ruled out it being your current SIM card causing all your issues by trying a different one?
Also, if you are now rooted, there are ways to bypass the carrier hotspot provisioning check without messing with your APN. Although I could be wrong, this generally isn't an issue with the MXP.

Root itself has ZERO effect on battery life, what you do with that access might though.
There is no APN option to enable "free" hotspot, the best you can do is add a line to build.prop "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" which causes the phone to not verify if the carrier has tethering provisioned or not.
APN type dun will not do anything for you in a modern smartphone.
APN Type: dun - Indicates the current APN configuration may be used for Dial-Up Networking connections. This refers to an outdated method for using your phone to emulate a dial-up modem and is not the way that modern smartphones do tethering anymore. There should be no need to use this value.
