Is this setting working for anyone in KG1 rom (2.3.4)?

First of all to get data connectivity in 2.3.4, i had to put in the below APN setting. The one mentioned in op is not working. Also, the build.prop edits is not working with the below APN setting. I lose data connectivity after editing build.prop with the below APN setting.

If it matters, i'm on $15 unlimited non smartphone plan and in Seattle. Is anyone on 2.3.4 currently experiencing similar thing?

I put my SGSII on my friends line with the Medianet feature phone data plan unlimited and she automatically got upgraded to the 2GB Smartphone data Personal..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] locust43:
Ok. So I think I may have found a reason why the SGSII is slower than phone's like the Infuse and has so many radio problems.

You guys remember with the Apple iFail 3G through the iPhone 4 on AT&T and other GSM providers, with the severe signal issues and dropped calls??

It was later tied to the Infineon modem in the handset powering the devices..

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10015301-37.html

Well unfortunately, stupid Samsung put an Infineon baseband modem chipset in the Samsung Galaxy S II's.

To me I have the SAME issue's I was having with the iPhone 4.... Coincidence or not?? You decide. But the SGSII has the chip, it is HSPA+ capable but of course since Infineon makes it, it likely cant hit H+ speeds.

Question about Medianet.......for ATT users

When I flash a custom ROM I lose Medianet (Cingular410.wap)

I had it on Cognition using the "reset to default" but after flashing a new ROM using that reset only resets the regular Cingular.wap which is apparently not Medianet.

Since I am on that feature with ATT I don't get data as the device registers to ATT Cingular.wap

When I flashed the nandroid back up with a custom kernal the correct APN is put in place and I have 3G data.

So what are you guys who are flashing ROMS doing to get Medianet back?

Will these APN settings bring back Medianet data:

Unlimited night time and weekend minutes. (7pm to 7am, and 7pm Friday to 7am the next Monday)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tbong777:
MMS good here on Cingular 410.wap Medianet. I called ATT ad had them move me to the Medianet plan. I guess they use different wap settings for Medianet. I don;t notice the speed hit at all if any. My handset shows H+ but who knows what speeds it is. Its good enough for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rmyc:
Any info on the media net??

who here has a SGS2 and is on Media net?

i'm on the GalaxyS 1, with media net and mms using "wap.cingular"

i'm waiting to hear if medianet will work before i buy the SGS2 off of amazon
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] spirit32:
yes, media net work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tbong777:
The only APN listed on my handset is "Cingular410" wap.cingular which is MediaNet.Read a few posts above yours for the settings. ATT will initialte those settings when you register your phone, but you will lose them flashing a wipe ROM or doing a clear data factory reset.

Didn't notice any difference in speed between that and my wife's or my former Captivate on the 200MB data plan. My indicator switches between 3G and H+.

Once you get a good APN back it up using APN Backup from the Market because you will need it for Wipe ROM flashing. My handset was defaulting to the regular APN Settings which will not work once you call ATT and get with the UL MediaNet data plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rmyc:
Yeah i'm currently on the UL Medianet on the SGS1(tmobile) vibrant..

Hi locust43,

1. How did you formulate your settings exactly?

2. Another user posted his exact (to the T) APN settings from his Infuse 4G. Doesn't the Infuse 4G (since it is a AT&T HSPA+ phone) by default have the correct HSPA+ settings? I noticed that the settings he had on this phone was almost exactly inline with what you had, but differed a little bit?

3. So, which APN info is correct, the default Infuse 4g APN settings or yours?

Here's Geekaren's settings that were posted (copied):

here are apn settings:

I copied these APN settings from my Infuse, posting here in case they're helping to folks having problems.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PyroSlacker:
The settings I used were from another thread on XDA. I don't remember the exact post at the moment, but I didn't come up with them myself. I tried Geekaren's settings and had no luck (internet worked, but no mms). I haven't gotten a chance yet to experiment to see which of the few changes may be the difference allowing my mms to work. The forum I found the settings on did discuss using the ip address for the mms proxy as opposed to wireless.cingular.com. They had said that while wireless.cingular.com points to that ip, some people were experiencing trouble when using the name, but not when using the ip. It may very well be the ip is the only difference that matters, not any of the other differences. If I get a chance to play around with it and narrow down the culprit, I'll let everyone know.

As for which is correct, I guess its anything that works. It seems that some settings are working for some people, but not others so I thought I'd throw another option out there and hopefully it gets a few more phones working.

EDIT: It appears jmwein had already posted these settings in this thread and I had just missed it while going through the first time fixing this...sorry.

I get the same speeds as my Wife who is on the regular data plan with her Captivate. I have not run any "tests" but I don't notice any difference between the MediaNet Wap and the smartphone data. I do get 3G and H+ showing in the notification bar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rockky:
I'm SO CONFUSED!

I'm on $15 unlimited....just hooked up yesterday,..I do get the H+ and 3G icons but data speeds still relatively slow (1200ish kbps) here in Chicago.

I'd gladly pay actually for the 4G plan...if it'd bring speeds up to par. (not grandfathered).

Would feel burnt tho if I walked away and nothing changed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kirdroid:
You can always change back to the unlimited $15 plan if you don't see increased speed from the 4g plan. Atleast I was able to do it with no issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tbong777:
We have both plans . One on a Captivate or a regular plan and mine on Media net.

I thought we were getting the same speeds....but hers is slightly faster when tested

I get 1.6Mbps DL LOL Fast enough for my needs but my wife who has a Captivate on the regular Plan only gets 2.3 Mbps So ATT sucks here for fast data.

My home internet is 1.4MBPS Down MY PHONE ON MEDIANET IS FASTER LOL With her phone being so slow I am thinking of buying her a non ATT smartphone and putting both phones on MediNet.

Im going to switch to Time Warner at the Homefront I think they have better throughput than the local Phone company.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tbong777:
I think you will find those speeds good enough for streaming. I don;t get more than 1.5MBPS and have not had any glitches with video or audio streaming. Internet is as fast (or slow) as my home at 1.5Mbps. DL.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rockky:
We should all keep in mind that the speedtest values do are not really consistent with real world performance.

I've compared my Evo on Wimax with SG2 on ATT '''4G''' and its often 5G+ wimwax 1G SG2....then immediately go download some heavy sites...say Engadget....and the Evo inevitably is faster but nothing like the speedtest would indicate ...usually 2-5 sec.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rockky:
Course your right. More of getting all you can. Once you've tasted the surfing pleasure of 'real' 4G the extra 5 sec is a drag...literally

I purchased a international phone a while back that had no preprogrammed APN info in it so I searched around for AT&Ts APN. The one that popped up the most was the wap.cingular version that had the user name and password, cingular something or other. But then I was told that the following was the latest one and I should be using it. Notice it does not have the user name and password.

Name: ATT

APN: wap.cingular

Proxy: wireless.cingular.com

Port: 80

Username:blank

Password:blank

Server: blank

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS Port: 80

MCC:310

MNC:410

APN Type: blank

So I've got all three APNs (password, no password, and "phone" from the OP) on my SGS2 and get consistanly better results on the no password apn here at home (Central Phoenix, AZ.) I'll try at work (Scottsdale, AZ) this evening to see what happens there because it's right next to a tower, I mean less than 100 yards. I always get good speeds there. The password and "phone" APN performed about the same but always slower than the no password version. I'll also try a blank APN to see if that does anything.

MMS is working for me. I'm on KG3, rooted.

As always, YMMV

Edit: WOW, I tested a blank APN here at home and it worked as well as if not better than the no password APN. How weird is that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gspears:
Well I took the phone to work and the only things I determined definitively are:

•	When using speedtest.net you have to watch what city it determines is the closest, it seems to change. It’s better to test several cities and then choose the one that gives you the most consistent readings.

•	The closest city isn’t necessarily the best place to test with. The data connection from the phone to Tempe (about 20 miles away) was around 4.5 meg down but varied wildly. The tests to Phoenix (even closer) were worse, but connections to San Diego were steady and almost always around 6.5 meg down.

•	No matter what, the upload speed was around 2 to 2.5 meg.

•	You have to reboot after choosing another APN to get accurate readings.

•	All the APNs I tested, no password, password, “phone” and blank were about the same when connecting to San Diego

•	The no password APN seemed to be a little more stable but it was far from definitive

•	The fastest I ever got the phone to go was 6.7 meg down.

I ran the phone out of battery before I could really make any decisions. But it was really all over the place. The phone will go very fast, it hit almost 35 down when I forgot to turn WiFi off

Sorry it wasn’t much help. I might do some more testing to see if I can narrow things down more if I get some free time.

EDIT: I forgot to add that I'm on the 10 dollar unlimited AT&T plan.

AT&T Blows

Please let us know. I just spent 60 minutes on the phone and finally got to AT&T technical support. Boiling this down, AT&T refuses to allow the SGS2 to use 4G because their database of IMEI numbers is not up to date. I talked to a rep, a manager and finally the tech guy and nobody could override the way AT&T's system is programmed to work.

From reading this forum, it sounds like getting the IMEI from an Infuse might work to get them to add the 4G plan. I'm just not sure if the 4G plan will "stick", as it might get flagged once I start using the SGS2. Thoughts????

Mann was it infuriating talking to AT&T. They basically blame everything on the phone and try and get you off the phone as fast as possible... F*****g a******s...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Illicit Hero:
I used Atrix you can use any "4G" phone, and why would you get flagged? You are not paying more or suppose to pay more with 4G.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] motocrossmann:
AT&T beats Comcast for the worst service in the USA!

Thanks Ilicit Hero! How long u been using the SGS2 after telling them you use the Atrix?

For me, the AT&T tech was towing the company line and told me that every time you make a call the AT&T system checks your IMEI. He went on to explain all the things AT&T does, for your benefit, to verify your phone has the correct plan applied to it. Personally, I don't believe it. AT&T "experts" you get on the phone are usually high school dropouts IMO. (I'm certain they have very smart people working for them, but I'm talking about the tech guys you get on the phone)

I will try using a different phone IMEI in a few days. But before I do, I'm asking if anyone here has tried a different phone IMEI and then been bumped out of the 4G plan after switching back to the SGS2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Illicit Hero:
I imagine if you register your IMEI number with AT&T, but no reason to ever do that unless you go iPhone. Also, the great people of these forums told me about the IMEI number thing, but I only went like a day or so without HSPA+ enabled.

As for getting the number you can google it, ask a friend to borrow their phone, and alot of people just going into AT&T store and looking at an Infuse/Atrix number and giving the rep that one. :D

I'm on the 10 dollar plan. I wonder if you really get better speeds on the 4G plan. The max I could get right next to the tower was 6.7 meg. What kind of speeds are you guys getting on the 4G plan?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] be1ieve1111:
I'm on the 10 dollar unlimited plan, gave them the IMEI from a crappy old att feature phone that the guy at cellphone store let me use real quick. I get no differences with the OP's apn settings compared to default cingular one. ~2Mb/s down.

As far as att checking your IMEI for everyone phone call, I did have problems connecting to my voicemail on the SGS2 even though I used the old crappy phone to set up my voicemail.

When I call my voicemail with the SGS2 I get a "if you have a voicemail box on this system dial your phone number" and it ends up not being able to find me. So I hang up and call again after a couple tries it goes through to my mailbox as soon as I got connected to the other end. Really weird.

Whenever I use 1 and press send I get the invalid MMI code error. So do they check the code for every call I'm not sure that they don't at this point.

I think at this point we all know this is not real 4G, but I hate how AT&T is marketing it as 4G, and when you call them on it, they say it is not 4G. Well no ****, why try to fool uninformed people with promises of Americas Fastest 4G network when it clearly is not even close.
