Hi, I have the unlocked essential phone from Amazon. Can anyone on AT&T share their APN settings with me? I have already tried a few I found on Google, and tried changing some settings with that special number you put in the dialer to no avail. No matter where go I get HSPA. Nothing else.

You told AT&T what device you have.... Didn't you...
If you did... You're not gonna get LTE...
BYOD... But get crap service

I switched from Verizon to Att and was at a store with this very same Essential phone and we activated it right there and I have no issues with LTE! Hmmm!

This is outrageous. So even if I was to submit a return for my device, and get a different unlocked phone, I would not be able to get 4G? I've used unlocked phones on AT&T & got LTE years ago!

Yeah I think something else is up. I have constantly used unlocked phones on AT&T for the past 6 years and no issues. Even now I have the Essential and I have perfect LTE. Sorry man I wish I new what was up with your device, but I don't. Only thing I can think of is maybe you have a defective device and might think about returning it or warranty repair?

I can't find the article I read... Nor the webpage that had the fine print I'm referring to...
Maybe they changed their policy... I know wifi calling and HD voice aren't available for essential... Because it's not an AT&T branded device...

So APN is not the problem, now I'm gonna have to drive to AT&T & make a scene. If anyone has any more info I'd be glad to hear it. If someone did change their APN and got it to work I'd love to know.

My point is that Att knows that I have an Essential phone ( we installed the sims in the store) and in fact I have 2 of them on my account and they both use LTE. I have seen the H show up when traveling down I70 in Eastern Kansas but is almost always says LTE. Maybe I am misunderstanding the issue here. Here are my APN settings.
Edit: I also am set to Global under prefered network types. Where I live the Speed seems much faster than set on 4G/LTE from my speed tests 45Mb vs 20Mb not sure if that is scientific or not.

I have an idea tell me if you think it'll work. I just re read the thread that kinda explains this. I go back to at&t and have them put a new sim card in my old Zenfone 2, which is micro SD. It is unlocked and I had 4G working on it. Then cut the sim card and put it in the essential phone and Bam. What do you think? Or is it already in this "database"?

Yes while you could use the device on AT&T as many of have it was not a recognized device by at&t. If you gave them your IMEI they wouldn't recognize the device as an official AT&T compatible device. Why some people like yourself don't get the full AT&T experience like LTE. That won't be an issue now. The essential PH-1 is an officially recognized device by AT&T.
So do I need a new sim now? I've been messing around with settings and still can't get 4G.
Hey guys,
i got my Redmi Note 7 Global Version from honorbuy on Tuesday and i really like it. I'm living in Germany and have one big problem
with my phone, i have a bad connectivity/reception and many incoming calls dont work. Other people can't reach me, even if
there is one stripe at 4G Connectivity. I also don't get a reminder of a "tried call". Sorry for me english, i hope you can understand
this.
I have the correct APN Settings and even tried my old smartphone (Mate 9) and there is no problem with calls. If i call someone
else with the Note 7 it is no problem, but he cant call me back, this is very strange. It doesn ring and the guy whos tries to call
me just gets an info "No reachable at the moment". Do you have any ideas what could help or
is it maybe even damaged or a software issue ?
Thank you very much

thanks for your response. Yes, i checked the bands and the global version supports german bands (20). I reseted the smartphone and now it seems that it works. Maybe it was also just an issue of the provider, i changed the

Is anyone else noticing the caller ID and spam protection setting turning itself off?
it's very annoying anyone solved the problem?
just tried clearing the data for the hiya system app will update if this seems to clear the problem
Just noticed it after seeing your thread, mine was turned off as well. I remember turning it on couple of days ago. Perhaps it might be controlled by the carrier end ?

Yes, noticed it a while back and I have the same speculation that it's being turned off by carrier settings even though I bought the unbranded unlocked model. I'm on T-Mobile.

Same issue here as well. It was the same way on my s8 plus with the pie beta. Both are unlocked devices running on cricket. I've noticed it everytime after a restart. I think that's where the bug is at unfortunately.
Same
Lol just checked mine after reading this, and mine is off too. Mines bought direct from Vodafone UK . Wow I know I switched it on its one of the first things I set up.

I've noticed mine off, but additionally I haven't noticed it doing anything when I get a call. On the unlocked S9, it would provide basic caller info and possible spam warnings. Now I get nothing if the number is not in my contact list. I'm running a factory unlocked s10+ on Sprint. No Hiya installed.
Yup can confirm mine shut off itself after I turned it on during initial setup, unlocked galaxy s10+ on Verizon

Something I have noticed is that after turning it back on and receiving some calls from unknown callers it has remained turned on, usually the setting just turns back off a few times a day.

I think T-Mobile disables this feature on their variant. You can get it by flashing the U1 firmware tho.

And our unlocked Snapdragons are still the red headed stepchildren with no update.
The pop-up came some days ago but I didn't turn it on because of :
- if the call isn't from one of ùy contacts, it is masked or unknown, and I know what to do about the former.. not answering.
- As it is obviously a samsuing service, I don't see the point of putting myself more in the hands of a conglomerate than I'm already and I don't see how reliable might be the said service, considering that the official callers black list is a mess here in france (I let you decide for you guys in your respective countries).
My point is : are we SO busy, SO amateur, SO lazy and SO mobile enslaved to jump on every notification from our devices ?
can someone point out where this setting is? I searched for call, caller, and spam in settings to no avail.

Open the Phone App, tap on the 3 dots on the search bar and then open settings. If it isn't there then its disabled by your carrier if you have a carrier branded phone.

give the man a cigar, verizon calls it caller name ID, but the real head trip is that their customer service people typically don't know it exists until you explain it functions like the old landline automatic caller ID, it costs $2.99/mo, but i've had it literally ever since i bought the moto z and it still mostly worked on the s10+ to this day, i love having it too, people call at random i answer "hi steve, don't spam me again you prick" and hang up, dude calls back later freaked out i knew his name already, worth the $2.99 easy for the giggles.

Well, everyone is different. In my case I also prefer not to pick up when a number is blocked or the nr is not in my contact list. However, I regularly get calls from Dr's, hospitals or other people related to the care of my parents, so I like the opportunity to be able to distinguish one of those calls with that of a recruiter or some company that wants to sell me something.
How many people are having the LTE issues?
Samsung had me reset my Bluetooth and Wi-Fi settings to try and fix the issue. Of course that didn't help. What does my Bluetooth and WiFi settings have to do with Cellular service? I think they are grasping because there is an actual defect in the phone. I purchased it directly from Samsung but I'm on Sprint. Sprint has acknowledged an issue but I didn't get it through them so I'm out of luck. When you spend over a thousand dollars on a phone, you expect it to work. I had two dropped calls this morning while driving in an area that has service. The phone is basically unusable unless you are on Wi-Fi. (at least with mine) I have a Galaxy s10 +

Same here with my Sprint Galaxy S10 Plus I'm Roaming 95% of the time and when LTE does kick in nothing loads. So I have to use Wi-Fi.
Exynos S10+ on T-mobile, no LTE issues on my model.
I mean, there is 3 totally different modems (exynos, qualcomm lte and qualcomm 5g), putting the title as all versions is novice at best, and click bait at worst.
Also something to keep in note, Sprint acknowledging a fault doesnt necessarily mean there is a fault or that it is a known issue, its just "good" customer service, they simply cant troubleshoot with the level 1 support, so its easier just to replace your device.
Anyway no issues with my Exynos (G975F) in Brazil with dual sim

I've been having issues with my Unlocked S10+ on ATT. About every other day I lose my data but it still shows LTE, and this notification pops up. I don't get my data back until I restart my phone 1 or 2 times..
Side note: I've been getting this notification since I got my phone at the beginning of march. ATT can't seem to help me or even give me an answer to what's going on

Sorry about that, I just assumed since it's Sprint they were all Qualcomm LTE (which of course I am on) Wish I could edit the title to give a more detailed so it's not misleading.
It's funny though, if I run a speed test, speeds are great on LTE. It's just connecting takes forever, then the connection doesn't stay.
Don't get me wrong, I love everything else about the phone.

Others have posted online with the same issue since 2015. Do a quick Google search and you'll see. Some switch to a "postpaid" plan and the issue goes away. And some didn't have any issues until getting a new phone.

You know anyone on a postpaid plan with AT&T you could possibly swap SIM's with temporarily to see if the issue persists? Not sure how often it happens, if it's only once a day it may not be a feasible option.
May be able to be resolved with AT&T's firmware?
Did your Note 9 have AT&T's firmware or was it Samsung's unlocked firmware?

What carrier are you on? Factory unlocked?
So, I switched from Sprint to T-Mobile and the issue followed. I figured out that when I connected to LTE it would connect to band 2 or 4. If it does, my data stops working completely. I went in and disabled bands 2 and 4 and it works now.
I think there is an actual issue with the phone on bands 2 and 4. Just my opinion....
I'm completely up to date on the software as well.

So my girlfriend now owns a 6T. It's pretty awful so far. It was a T-Mobile variant, flashed with the patched MSMTool and on the latest open beta.
Her phone is ALWAYS dropping calls, calls won't go through, texts won't always show etc. We went to T-Mobile and swapped out the SIM.
Has anyone else ever seen this before?
And no, this is a totally separate phone from the one I had issues with (I sold that one on Craigslist)
