CM7 Nightly 219 Settings

I just did a Root & fresh install on my 4th Inspire 4G. I am running CM7 Nightly 219.

CM7 'Default' Settings:

Name: ATT

APN: wap.cingular

Proxy: <Not Set>

Port: <Not Set>

Username: WAP @ CINGULARGPRS.COM <this entry munged-site thinks its a link>

Password: <Not Set>

Server: <Not Set>

MMSC: http :// mmsc.cingular.com <this entry munged-site thinks its a link>

MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Authenticaion Type: <Not Set>

APN type: default,supl,mms

APN protocol: IPv4

These have worked for me (on my past 3 Inspires) pretty much every place I have traveled over the past year or so. I am a Hardware & Software Dev Eng and I travel to customer Co-location facilities a LOT.

I tested both the old & new setups from this thread. I could not get data connection with either. (Yes, I tried rebooting, turning data on and off, etc)

I reset my APN config back to the default settings. I then modified my APN type to read: default,admin,hipri,supl,mms THAT config works. I get data connectivity AND I have noticed a significant speed increase in web browsing & download speeds. I have my own FTP & Web Server which is hosted on our dedicated AT&T OC-48 circuit. That is what I have been testing my speeds with.

Just thought I'd share,

H_B(OP), any idea as to why data gets knocked when GPS is initialized while using these APN settings?
[HTC Inspire 4G] trell959:
You think this will work on my Captivate?
[HTC Inspire 4G] trell959:
I only notice this on cyanogenmod while using these APN settings
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
I think I may have found a fix for the CM7 cell data disconnection issue when GPS first initializes.

In the MEdia Net "Phone" APN, add "agps" to the end of the "APN type" field, so it looks like this:

default,admin,hipri,agps

You may have to reboot for it to take effect. With "agps" in place, I am no longer seeing the momentary (but annoying as hell) dropped data connection when GPS first fires up. I've rebooted several times to make sure, and the problem appears to be fixed permanently now.

If someone wants to try this, let me know if this works for you and I'll update the OP.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shugga101:
Tried it out. Initial test worked. I used the speedtest.net app to test this. Reason being is that I've noticed whenever I tried to test my data speeds when the gps icon came on I would lose data connection on my MIUI inspire. I'd have to restart the app 2 times after opening the app a first time to get the data and gps to stay on.

This worked right away. But don't just take my word for it. Try it out yourself.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Thanks for trying it out. It may have been a false alarm - I rebooted a couple more times just to further test the consistency of the fix, and now I'm having the problem again. :mad::rolleyes: I don't know why it worked for several reboots initially, and then the problem came back after a while. Bullsh*t.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Mornin Henry, I only rebooted once to try the "fix" and it's working as of now. If this means when/if it fails that I have to re-edit the line again, that's a smaller hassle than the data connectivity issue.

Thank you for your time bubba!
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
You have a Captivate and I do not, so only you can answer that question.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Summett:
I have a general question about APN's, so i apologize if this is the wrong forum to ask this...but i've followed this thread and used the advise on my own inspire.

Are APN's specific to a manufacturer's device...or to a carrier?

Reason i ask is i have a device that takes pictures and then mms's the pictures to a designated #. I've been having occasional issues where it stops sending the mms's and states that "SIM cannot register with GPRS network" (through AT&T).

It has an "auto" APN set-up where i can't see the information listed, however it also has an area where you can MANUALLY set up the info (ie. URL, APN, Gateway, Port, Acct & Pass).

I called AT&T and asked them for the info, but they stated that it was Manuf Specific.? That seems like a funny response since it's there SIM and account i have with them that is connecting to the network...right? Or am i completely wrong in that thinking.

Overall, i was thinking that maybe there are settings within the devices "Auto" set-up that are not current, causing me to get the "network register error".

Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Based on my experience, the APN config is mostly carrier specific, but there may be the occasional small differences between manufacturers, if a particular device requires a proprietary setting or something.

If you wanted to experiment with your device's manual APN configuration, you could try to mimic the APN in step 3 of the OP. This is the APN that handles MMS on the Inspire, and I've seen other AT&T phones using the same APN, so it appears to be a fairly universal APN for MMS use on AT&T.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Summett:
Thanks very much henrybravo for the suggestion. That is what i thought i'd try as well.

Two addt'l questions for you. The manual configuration asks for a "URL" & "Gateway". In your experience would you think the URL would be the same as the MMSC listed? And I've noticed thru Google search that ATT in some instances use a "Gateway", but have never seen one listed with these Inspire APN threads. Thoughts on "Gateway" to insert?

Thanks again for your assistance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
The MMSC is AT&T's MMS store and forward server, which is the first destination of the MMS message once it leaves the device. I can see that being the "gateway" perhaps, but I'm just guessing.

I would try this:

Gateway: http://mmsc.cingular.com

URL: http://wireless.cingular.com

If that doesn't work, then try flipping them.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Summett:
I try those. Once again...thanks for your help HB!
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
No problem. One more thing, if those settings don't work either way, try taking out the http://
[HTC Inspire 4G] jaquez4:
i tried it out on my captivate and i couldnt even get a data connection. i noticed on the captivate that under the APN type we cannot type the selected or given text but only choose one of three choices. I managed to add under the default APN the second apn for mms and all it did was slow my download speeds down drasticlly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wmg316:
First, I appreciate your settings...I am definitely seeing improvement!

Second, with the MMS settings in the OP, I could not send MMS messages.

I googled apn settings for at&t htc inspire and found a link where the MMS Proxy was set to 66.209.11.32. I set my MMS Proxy to this and all is good!

EDIT:

After further looking at this, I think I may have had my MMS proxy set to: http://wireless.cingular.com....:o

I took the http:// off and set to: wireless.cingular.com and all works well.

Sorry for the mix up!
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
No problem. I was about to say that "wireless.cingular.com" and 66.209.11.32 are the same thing, since that domain name resolves to that IP address, so it doesn't matter which way you do it. Some ROMs use the IP address, and some use the domain name. The stock Inspire ROM uses the domain name, which is why I use it in the OP.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wmg316:
Off topic question...which GPS fix do you use? From your sig, you are fairly close to me. 2x or 3x and which specific?

Thanks!!

APN Reloaded

If your in the United States and AT&T here is my suggestion and it works and kicks ass. Copy this in to a text file and rename it from txt to ApnBackup.xml and how do i get the file over to the phone? You download the program from the app store called APN Manager. Create your own apn backup and then with your new file with the information below replace it and do a restore. Reboot the phone and you should have two APN's.

What hits me as odd is AT&T outsources their proxy through opendns. I'm checking to see what happens if I just use google dns. I did a NSLOOKUP and if you look at the output for mmsc it says mmsc.mycingular.com which I'm using now and its stable and faster.

I have the 3 APN's now. Does it matter which one I have selected? The MEdia Net or the MMS?

What does the 3rd APN do or add?

Gonna try it out for a while to see if it helps. Thanks for the info!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
The 3rd "Entitlement" APN doesn't add anything, nor does it increase data speeds. Myself and others thoroughly tested it several months ago. I've only been telling people to use Entitlement as a workaround in rare situations when they can't get their connection to stick on the Phone APN. For some reason, having 3 APNs fixes this issue, but it doesn't affect speeds in any way, otherwise I'd have it in the OP.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jasoninaz:
Thanks Henry, I'll edit it so that the APN only uses two of them. I didnt' notice anything either. I've read a lot about APN's that AT&T uses and found a few private ones for testing but i have not tried those. But I'm going to expand on this in another post. Thank you for the information.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Jasoninaz:
can you export your APN so I can look at it? I have to say this little tweak made it possible for me to listen to XM with no buffering issues.
[HTC Inspire 4G] drearg:
Yeah, I can, but I went back and changed a few settings to combine henrybravo"s settings with your settings minus the entitlement and now it seems to work alittle faster on mms. Do you want both settings? before and after?
[HTC Inspire 4G] alphahere:
I like to see these settings also. Did you post them anywhere?

Before and after, please.

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] eryk4381:
This requires you to switch from APN's to get these speeds correct? Isn't that kinda a pain in the ass compared to a single APN configuration.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Yes it's a pain, but a dual APN config is necessary in many market to achieve HSPA+ speeds. That's why the stock ROM has a dual APN config. Most custom ROMs have a single APN config, because most are ports from the DHD which isn't an AT&T phone. In my market a single APN config results in EDGE-like speeds. The key is to use 2 APNs: one is "Phone" which handles the data connection, and the other one is "wap.cingular" which only handles MMS and supplementary things. This is how the stock Inspire ROM is setup.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Towboat_man:
Ok im on RcMix 4.0 and i cant get the apn to Stick on the second apn i can only select MEdia Net/Phone How can i make it stay on MMS According to OP Or am i doing something wrong...

[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
When the "phone" apn is listed first, that is the one it should be stuck on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
The part you quoted is from the procedure for ROMs with a

locked

APN config. RCMix Runny 4 has an

unlocked

APN configuration, so you should be using the procedure in the OP labeled: "PROCEDURE FOR ALL ROMS THAT HAVE UNLOCKED APNs", where the 1st APN is "Phone" APN. This is the one you will select. As fernandezhjr said, when the Phone APN is listed first, it will stay selected.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gbeardmore:
Does the ROM Matter?

I've read thru almost every page in this thread, and ROMs don't seem to be mentioned much. Does the ROM matter? I use Android Revolution but most here seem to be on CM7 based ROMs. Is a dual APN setup beneficial with Sense based ROMs? Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] wjsturgis3:
It's what I use. Note that this is what HTC delivered with the AT&T Inspire 4G with Sense.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
+1

@gbeardmore

In markets that need this APN config, all ROMs benefit from it. As wjsturgis3 said, the stock ROM is Sense, and it uses this APN setup.

I've done some reading in other forums, apparently the MMS' APN should also be Phone, anyone want to confirm?
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Using an APN type of "mms" with the Phone APN has never worked well for me in my market; either data is broken or mms is broken. The "phone" apn needs to have an APN type of at least "default", and the "wap.cingular" APN needs to have an APN type of "mms". YMMV of course.

Hi Henrybravo...

Just stumbled across this post and wanted to say thank you, my data speeds definitley increased. Problem is I am no longer able to send or receive MMS. I have been over the settings at least 5 times and still no love.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stratatak7:
Hi Inspire 4G Owners! :) Would you all be so kind as to try these APN settings I tested for the Samsung Infuse? It's a single APN so you don't have to worry about APN switching issues and lag like you'd have from a dual setup. This works best in AOSP based roms! It works great on the Infuse and gives HSPA+ speeds AND functional MMS. It's the best of both worlds. Let me know if it works for you guys too so I can update the OP or keep it the same if it doesn't work. Thanks!

If you post in the thread please let me know which phone you are using so I can differentiate between Infusers and yourselves. http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1791526
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Sorry for the slow reply. I've noticed that with most ROMs, MMS works fine with the stock APN settings in the OP. But in some ROMs, the phone will receive MMS will but won't send, and still others MMS won't work at all. Sometimes if you're connected to wifi, simply temporarily disconnecting will fix the problem (sometimes the phone doesn't switch to cell data as it should for MMS) but I've noticed on some ROMs MMS simply will not work at all, regardless of wifi connection status or APN settings. I haven't been able to figure out the problem. Eventually I'll just give up and switch to a different ROM. I think some of the problem might be related to the fact that most Inspire ROMs are really derivatives of Desire HD ROMs, which is not an AT&T phone. But this is purely a guess on my part. Many DHD ROMs work fine, but a few don't.

About six months ago I moved on from my beloved Inspire to an international Samsung Galaxy S2 and now I'm running on an international Galaxy S3. MMS works fine with most ROMs but every once in a while I'll come across a ROM where MMS simply will not send. Once again, these international Galaxies are not true AT&T phones so that might be causing the problems here as well. So to this day I don't know exactly why some ROMs have MMS issues, and the problem occurs across different phone vendor platforms.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
You might try a single APN with the settings below to see if it gets MMS working for you (credit to stratatak7). I've tried this single APN on my Galaxy S3 and it works beautifully. I don't have a full-sized SIM anymore so I can't test this APN on the Inspire but I suspect it will work.

First, delete all APNs.

Then, create just one with these settings:

Name: (doesn't really matter, something like AT&T HSPA+ is fine)

APN: phone

mmsc: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net

mms proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net

I have made no changes to the apn type at this point,so it reflects defaul,supl,mms and still those results were recieved.its the same concept as the pta apn settings or phone apn setting with the mobile.att.net settings just replaced with the wap.cingular in place of it.i'm certain tweaking the apn types would only improve the results once done correctly.i will be doing that at some point to see what i get.
