The HSDPPB code is available only if you are currently on the DPPB unlimited data plan. Unlimited data plans are grandfathered for those who chose such a plan back when AT&T offered that option; if you're not on one now, you can't get onto one.

That, at least, is the official AT&T policy; I don't know to what degree that policy is enforced.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Not Human:
So if HSDPPB is only for people on unlimited plans, then what SOC code do people who don't have unlimited data need in order to connect to the 198 server instead of the 166?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 3waygeek:
I have no idea -- I've been on the unlimited data plan (first DPPB, now HSDPPB) for several years. And even on the HSDPPB plan, I've never been able to connect to a 198 server; I usually connect to 166, very rarely to 32.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] robsw:
May I ask which APNs you are using?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 3waygeek:
I'm using the phone APN now that I'm on the HSDPPB plan. Back when I was on the 3G DPPB plan, I could only occasionally connect to the phone APN, and usually had to fall back to wap.cingular.

I have never been able to connect using the broadband APN. Also, I've never been able to connect to the 198.x.x.x network -- I usually get on the 166.x.x.x network, and rarely on the 32.x.x.x network.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] edepsiz328:
Someone has this video of his Infuse 4G getting 14Mbs down speeds in the New York metro area using the 166 network:

Obviously, this 166 is not THAT slow...

I have samsung glaxy s2 gt-i9100. Does anybody know why i am only getting 0.15mbps and 1.26mbps uploading speed. Everytime is diffrent downloading speed and uploading speed. I have unlimited data plan with at&t. Any help will be appriciate.. My speed is really slow and im getting annoyed. Please reply soon anyone.

Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] patt2k:
I am also in NY the max i get is 6.8 mbps / 1.5 mbps up.

Obviously the APN from first post dont work do you have any ideas how to set them up properly?

How are you using the phone apn? i would not get internet with the phone APN only it will work on wap cingular

EDIT:

this is what i see on my att page

Data
GPRS MB WAP/BBRY/ISP 2GB DOM $10.00/1GB ADDL - SMT2GB

how do i get this to be switched to the HSDPBB?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 3waygeek:
That's probably because you're on a 3G plan; when I was on the 3G plan, I usually couldn't connect with the phone APN. Once I switched to a 4G plan, I had no problems connecting to the phone APN.

You can't, at least without a time machine. You're on a 2GB limited plan, so you can't switch to an unlimited plan -- the HSDPPB unlimited plan is the 4G upgrade path for those who were on an unlimited plan back in the 3G days when AT&T offered unlimited plans.

There should be a 4G version of your current plan you can switch to, probably at no extra charge. Once you switch plans, you should be able to connect to the phone APN.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] patt2k:
I will try that. Will go on LIVE CHAT and tell them to put me on 4G. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sansart:
Sorry, I'm sure this has been discussed numerous times in this thread but, if I go from my Samsung Captivate to International Galaxy S2, will I be able to switch my current unlimited 3g plan to 4g unlimited for use on it? Will I get better speeds then my Captivate (4g vs 3g?)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 3waygeek:
When I switched my unlimited 3G (DPPB) to unlimited 4G (HSPDDB), I did see my top speeds go up a bit, from about 7 Mbps to 9.5 Mbps. So you may see a speed boost if you upgrade your data plan -- note that the cost is the same, so there's no reason not to do it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ph00ny:
I've hit 6+mbps in nyc once on the unlimited data plan
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] intruda119:
Data plans have no effect on speed. I've been running unlocked phones for years with no problem. I get the same speeds my atrix got.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ph00ny:
i really won't know what i can get in terms of data performance until i can actually test the limits of hspa connection. At least 10+mbps

Anyone down in southern florida with att service and galaxy s ii?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bclark:
What area of the island are you on?

I tried this out early this morning and had no data and quickly realized I don't have the 4g part of the unlimited plan. I have the 4g sim but still the unlimited 3g plan
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rwc3b:
I'm in nyc too and am getting contradicting statements on whether or not I'm allowed to get 4G unlimited. I'm currently on 3G unlimited. Since I have an unbranded phone, att doesn't recognize it and won't let me upgrade to 4G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mostyle:
Let me see..

..if I'm following this thread correctly as I think I am in the same boat as what you are describing..

I originally bought ATT branded device (Captivate) and have one of the old 3g sims (that one with white, not blue and orange I think it is) and when I try and use the 'phone' APN I get no data at all. I initially thought that 'phone' apn was used by IPhone devices exclusively until I saw it being use don the Atrix.

My question is this.. Why can't I just go to an ATT store and tell them I need up upgrade my data to a 4g package? I get that maybe they tie data plans to devices based ON IMEIs in their database but if I manually provide them one to use with my contact that I still have why shouldn't I be able to?

It seems asinine (well, we are talking ATT, lol) to think that they wont provide me the ability to use 4g service on a 4g device that was not purchased from them even though I should be contractually offered the service.

Second part of the question... Given everything stated above.. If I currently (with the 9100 with H+ and full bars) only get 4mbs down and 1.3mbs up would going through the uphill fight to get switched to the 4g data plan (so that the 'phone' apn would work) would I even see see greater data speeds?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] locust43:
Unfortunately not. The Data plan allows access to the new HSPA+ gateway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] locust43:
You could potentially see greater speed's depending on your area. The gateway wap.cingular caps your speed at around 7.5ish. If you can add on the SOC code from the OP then you should be good to go. You likely will need a new sim card as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] locust43:
I have found that Atlanta is very sketchy when it comes to HSPA+. I haven't had too much luck at my house back in Alpharetta.

Though I have been hitting much higher speeds at my lake house in the Birmingham, AL area.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] locust43:
Have you tried to restart your phone? What data plan are you on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] locust43:
What data plan do you have? If you do not have the HSDPPB SOC code added on or the HSPA+ 2 or 4GB plan, these settings will not work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] locust43:
Atrix isn't an HSPA+ phone either. I get half the speed's on my Atrix. Data plan's determine which APN you can access. A few months ago AT&T opened up a new APN for their "HSPA+" line of devices that has opened up and is an all IP backend.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mchimney:
I'm on the Smartphone Personal Data plan according to the att phone people. But i don't know what that SOC code is, nor do i have any idea how i add it. That's probably my issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] varunkumars:
I am on Data pro 2GB plan(I got this for my captivate). I live in Irving Dallas which has 4G coverage. I tried your APN settings and did restart my galaxy s 2 but it didn't catch any data so moved back to WAP.CINGULAR. Am i missing any step ??? Just so you know i didn't delete my WAP.CINGULAR APN. I don't think it matters.

Do you think HSPA+ 4G 2GB plan is different from Data pro 2GB plan.???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] poulosjr:
What is causing 3g h+ fluctuation??

has there been a fix for this to stay on h+?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dreadsteel:
I did this and I'm getting about 1.2 Mbps on average faster than before. Ping is down from 150 average to 100.

I'm on an unlimited plan that I had when i was using my Atrix. Before my Atrix i was on the iPhone unlimited plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sebring5:
Settngs work

Unsure if speeds are improved or not. I'll keep testing. I'm on a Miami

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mchimney:
gonna run down to the att store to just tell them the soc code and see what happens
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xxmwxx:
You can find out your code using the my AT&T web interface... it shows up in your Usage Details. You should see something like this:

"Data GPRS WAP UNLTD DOM - HSDPPB"

I did the changes with the HSDPPB SOC and I didn't noticed a diff. in speeds (Miami Area).. pretty much around the same 1-2 mbps down and 1-2 up... Speeds went down a little too but that could be random... I'll keep on testing..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] robstunner:
Might be unrelated but i've been periodically loosing data and have to reset. Then it works fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sansart:

I am on AT&T chat as we speak will post results when he puts me on REAL 4G.

So as we speak . Max I get is 6.80 mbps / 1.5 MBPS Upload.

before the switch.

Conor: With the Samsung Galaxy SII, it should have put you on the 4G plan, I am surprised it has not. If you contact Customer Care at 1-800-331-0500 they should be able to change your data plan for you though.
ME: so you guys have no acces to upgrading me to that via chat?
ME: I understand. Would you at least be able to remove the 4S data plan so my regular 2GB data plan wont expire as it says in my att online page?
Conor: Just to clarify, are you upgrading your phone online today?
Conor: Or is it just changing your plan?
ME: i used my upgrade to get 4S but i wont be using it for now. But because there is 4S data plan pending it says my other one will expire
Conor: That would need to be done through Customer Care, as I cannot access your account and data cannot be changed or removed online, sorry.

EDIt:

Lady i spoke to said until i activate my 4S i cant be activate my regular to 4G now that just makes no sense i dont have the 4S never activated it.. somehow i dont believie her about this part. She can just remove 4S data pland change mine...

edit. nm...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] robmoney215:
1st of all...att network will add the appropriate data plan as soon as your phone hits the network.there's no such thing as using the cheaper data unlimited plan...regardless of what you think...BB internet is different then smartphone internet which is different then iPhone internet. All the same.cost but different soc codes so if you're using a smartphone and somehow have the incorrect plan THATS why your internet is so slow.

ATT stopped unlimited data plans on smartphones a year and half ago...so if you weren't already on it prior to that you are on a capped plan. 2gb or 4gb

You cannot add a 4G device to your acct without provisioning it in the system once you change the imei..it simple does not allow you to bypass it...so if you upgraded or started new service for an atrix.infuse..etc.. YOUR ALREADY on the correct plan...

Any other questions?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dan1431:
Not exactly, if at&t is able to identify your device than yes the computer will provision the correct plan IF you are not Grandfathered into an Unlimited Plan and then the computer will not take action because it is unable to edit Grandfathered Unlimited Plans.

If at&t is unable to identify your device (they are unable to identify Black GT-I9100s) the computer will not take any action because it is unable to identify the device thus it sees no need to take any action. I have been told that it (the automatic computer process) will under certain circumstances refer the account to a person who can identify the device manually and take further action if needed.

so my data plan recent got change to "Unlimited data for 4G LTE Smartphones w/Visual Voice Mail" while the price still the same which was grandfathered in. My download speed now on Speedtest.com is now around 3Mbps with 1Mbps upload.. Doesnt sound like 4G to me but its faster than before on 3G lol..

also in the past weekend, I was traveling to another state and my data keep dropping. Had to call Customer Care and they said since my IMEI number doesn't match my phone, when it registering in different market, it will think that my phone is stolen and stop the data network.. Anyone experiencing the same issue when going to different state?

You might want to check on the modem thread to see what modems other people in your area are having success with. Modems can make a big difference. But of course your carrier determines what data is available in your location.

Anyway, good luck with it.

This doesn't play well with SHOstock2 (ICS).

There is no list to select "Internet Only". You have to manually type here. I typed "Internet" the first time, and on the second try I typed "Internet Only". Neither worked.

An interesting note: After I went back to select "Restore Defaults" a new list appeared that I don't think was there before I started making changes. See pic.

Selecting ATT 3GS or ATT PHONE both had slower results than I started with with so I'll probably just reinstall my ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jubjubrsx:
didnt work?

^^

yes this isnt there in shostock, although funny enough in vacaville, ca i went back to the cingular one and it was actually faster at about 5mb/s down... after looking you shouldnt have to do this with shostock its already configured this way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] flightsimmer:
This also is ineffective on the AOKP ROM that we have. With the APN settings included with the ROM, I am only getting approximately 1Mbps down and 800Kbps up with full signal. I've played around with different settings in relation to the ones listed in the OP, but since ICS doesn't have a drop down menu or choices for the APN Type, I can't get everything working correctly. I have been able to get 3Mbps down and 1Mbps up with the internet APN, but I can't get MMS working at the same time. If I configure the MMS APN and save it, my phone will no longer connect to the 3G data, but will send MMS just fine.....

Does anyone have any clarification on how to use these settings properly in ICS ROMs?

So, I was playing around with this over the past couple of days, and on the ICS AOKP build, I was able to hit 10Mbps down and 2Mbps up last night. MMS also works as intended. I have not tested tethering with my settings, so YMMV. I'd expect these settings to work fine on any other ICS ROM as well.
