APN settings from my Infuse

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

Note: These settings are copied *exactly*... same capitalization (or not), etc.

1st APN

(all fields

Name: ATT PHONE

APN: Phone

MCC: 310

MMS PORT: 80

APN TYPE: mms,supl

(I realize our SGS2s only have internet or mms available to select for APN type, so I selected mms -- I'm able to send mms successfully)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jbooker12:
I tried these settings and still no mms for me. Also, mms, supl is not an option for APN Type.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lpsi2000:
Although it is not showing in the UI, I looked in the database and "supl" is there. So that is not the issue.

i connected my sgs2 today at the att store. guy was able to scan the device using barcode..got imei but system didnt let him change me to a hspa+ 4 plan.. just as a smartphone plan.. he called customer service to try to change that but they couldnt do it either so they opened up a case so they can change my plan to hspa+ 4g ..some major geek on att need to change that manually. reps didnt have access to it.. i am able to send and receive mms with the original settings ,.i tried the op settings and phone didnt even connect to 3g so i went back to original.. i pick h+ often and speed ok .. nothing crazy( coming from a tbolt LTE crazy fast)

so lets see what they come up on my case..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bikeracer4487:
So, back in May I bought a new Infuse 4G, w/ a 2GB data plan, and got a new SIM card since I didn't need to transfer contacts. A couple weeks later I decided to buy the SGS2 and sell my Infuse. Then I heard that you could get unlimited data for $10 less by calling AT&T and giving them the IMEI so I did that and now have a non-smartphone unlimited data plan.

I've read all about how you need the new data plans in order to get 4G, but I like having unlimited data for LESS and I live in Cleveland and never got close to 7.5Mb/s down even when I had the Infuse...so I'm wondering, would I even see an improvement by switching back to the 2GB plan?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] locust43:
Its possible. But also the SGS2 doesn't receive speeds as well as the Infuse in most cases. Hopefully when Bell Canada gets the phone we can flash the radio from it and get better speeds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ronj1986:
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who has noticed the speed difference between the SGSII & the Infuse 4G. I tested this in the store & at my residence a few times. the Infuse was pretty much faster 95% of the time. How did you discover this Locust?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rmyc:
before i go and purchase one can u answer a def question of mine.

I only use non branded att smart phone because the imei isnt recognized and att doesnt force me on to a data plan.

when using an imported SGS2 , does att recognize it and add a data plan automatically?

thanks

-Samsung Galaxy S (vibrant), att, no data
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kirdroid:
Nope att doesn't recognize and data plan is not needed if you don't want. Personally I'm using the $15 unlimited plan and get the same download speeds as their 4g plans.

Edit: I meant I was using the 4g plan with sgs2 before. Switching to $15 non smartphone unlimited data plan made no difference in data speeds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rmyc:
thanks, i'm using the vibrant from t-mobile (galaxy s) with unlimited 15$ plan.. i guess i will but a sgs2, i just hope att doesnt add my imei to the list after they release the sgs2

AT&T 4G speeds: personal observation

Few comments regarding speeds and plans...

1. Currently AT&T can not read IEMI from non AT&T purchased phones.

2. In many areas AT&T do not have HSPA coverage, regardless of what they may say. No speeds above 6Mbit/Sec are shown. If they are, it is spotty and drops fairly easy back to 2M-3M speeds. (not bad, but certainly not 4g). At least this is the current situation widely around Los-Angeles.

3. I tried both the $10 unlimited, non 4g, plan and the limited (two gig) 4g plan. Same speeds in both cases.

4. I tried both default APN (Cingular 410) and the offered APN on this thread - same speeds noted.

5. Tried adding to /system/table.prop the relevant ro.ril.xxxx lines offered, and it did not change speeds, not even after rebootting.

6. Surrounded my IEMI to AT&T . Since the SGS2 is not a supported phone, they push NOTHING to the phone to change speeds. They do so for the HTC Desire HD and Samsung infuse. I suspect the SGS2 is a bandwidth limitation by code on AT&T's network, or just priority is set to service AT&T phones over non AT&T ones.

7. For a fact AT&T still deploys LTE networks to compete with Verizon's network. For the next 6-9 months I do not expect their network to improve significantly. It's not the SGS2..

So, seems like 3-6M speeds are what we can currently get :( It's up to people to decide if they want to spend $25/month or less. For a long time I have spent only $10/month, but in hoping the 4g network makes the difference - I am paying now $25.. at least it is a fair game now for support from AT$T (yes , the $ is not a typo, my bills with them go beyond $250/month).

Solution? T-Mo or Verizon are another bad option..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] varunkumars:
Guys right now i am on	Smartphone DataPro 2GB plan for25$. Can i get 15$ unlimited non smartphone data plan ?? In the att website under my account i don't have any such non-smartphone option. I got this att sim card palm pre.

If at all i change, do i get the same speed as Datapro 2GB ??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bikeracer4487:
Absolutely. Call AT&T, tell them you sold your old smartphone and bought a different non-smartphone, and then just give them the IMEI straight from the SGS2. When they plug in the IMEI number it will be flagged that you have the wrong dataplan if you're on the 4G 2GB plan and then just tell them which plan you want (I got the unlimited for $15). This is exactly what I did and I've now been on the unlimited $15 plan for over a month now with no issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] varunkumars:
I just did that, switched over to 15$. But now i get only 512 KBPS(tested using speed test). I tried OP's APN settings also, but still no change. With DataPro 2 GB it was around 5Mbps now it has gone down to 512kbps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kirdroid:
Interesting...this didn't happen to me. I had the same speeds (2 - 3 Mbps) as before tough I changed it myself online.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yiannisthegreek:
Hi all,

This is quite interesting to me as I was just looking at my data speeds yesterday and they seem VERY slow to what they should be. The only thing is that I live in Canada and am on the Rogers Network (used to be called Rogers-AT&T) and is affiliated with AT&T in the US still I believe.

I am wondering if there may be anything that I can do, steps I can follow from this thread, etc to see if I can somehow increase my data speeds as well as again, they seem quite slow compared to what they should be.

Please advise and Thanks from "The Great White North"... :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] varunkumars:
Well now i see, i had to call the customer care for this i didn't have this option in my att profile. Earlier i was on captivate with Datapro 2Gb plan. Since they changed it they might have put me on 512kbps bands.

This is my guessing i could be wring though.

how do u guys do the Smartphone Personal Data plan with 4G SOC code : HSDPPB on our phone? i called att and cause the phone its a none att phone system wont give the option to change it to the correct plan other than smarthphone.... even at the store guy wasnt able to do it..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ajftl:
cause u need to be on this plan Smartphone Personal Data plan with 4G SOC code : HSDPPB
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ronj1986:
Use the IMEI off of a 4G phone. Go into ATT store get IMEI from a Infuse 4G, Atrix 4G, HP Veer or Inspire 4G. Or if you know someone with 1 of these devices ask for their IMEI # to tell ATT that is the phone you are using or about to use.

Thank me when it works for you please:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ajftl:
i would thank u. but really? doesnt matter if that 4g imei phone is being use on another account? i mean u done it that way?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rwj5279955:
I did it that way. The rep actually did it. Used my girls Inspire for the IMEI number.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kirdroid:
I know I have to be on that plan and I had that plan as well before. What I'm saying is, that plan didn't help in gaining any additional speeds. I was getting around 2-3 Mbps with the 4g plan in seattle area. I have tried all apn combinations, build.prop modifications and that was the max speed I got. I then switched to unlimited non smartphone plan and have been getting the same speeds.

So I would rather save some $10 and get unlimited data if the speeds are going to be same :-)

Wait, you're on the non-smartphone plan and the settings posted by the OP are working for you?

EDIT: I just tried the OP settings again, and still doesn't work for me, no data at all...but I expected this since I'm on the non-smartphone plan and was under the impression that these settings wouldn't work with the non-smartphone plan...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bendispo:
I don't know if this has been posted yet, but I noticed a mild speed bump in my area a few days ago (was averaging 2-3 mbps and am now averaging 4-5 mbps).

I've been on the non-smartphone unlimited data plan and haven't changed any settings. I'm still on wap.cingular.

I decided to turn on wifi tethering today and run a speedtest on my laptop.

Whereas before my ISP was showing up as AT&T, it's now showing up "Service Provider Corporation."

I logged into my AT&T account, and I'm definitely still on the non-smartphone data plan.

So, just wanted to share and am wondering if anyone else has experienced a change.

Same here
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BarryH_GEG:
I'm a Premier account and got my service set up by the AT&T rep that manages all of our company's business. We talked about this. Data is data to AT&T. All the different plans have no effect on speed - they don't monitor or throttle at the head-end. Meaning, once you're connected you'll get the maximum data speeds possible based on device and location. They do monitor by IMEI so if a phone you're using is identified as a smartphone on a dumb-phone data plan you'll get flagged. The SGS2 (our version) isn't in their IMEI database. "4G SOC code: HSDPPB" is a pricing code and has no impact on what you can and can't do on their network.

If you look at the chart below, our phone's not the problem, it's the network.

E-cell was selling the sensation last night for 419 pounds, the purchases rained down on them myself included...

This morning they have revised their price to 449, but still very cheap, its definitely still the cheapest around...

Just check Ebay and search for HTC Sensation, E-cell will be shown usually near the top;)
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
tempting... it says no logo and sim-free... But i'll just wait till you get yours :)
[HTC Sensation] OccasionalDroid:
Well they are a reputable company with quite a massive feedback, and in the UK we are covered by distance selling regulations which gives us 14 days cooling off period and we can return within that time for a full refund or exchange.

I think 419 is definitely no money at all for the HTC Sensation;)
[HTC Sensation] BarryH_GEG:
Are they an authorized Samsung retailer? If not, be careful with the warranty.
[HTC Sensation] OccasionalDroid:
Its a HTC Phone mate, and all new phones are covered by law which states a 12 month warranty.

If they are a HTC Partner you will get 2 years...

To be honest mate, for that price im not too worried;) 419 for the sensation is a steal I think;)

As it happens im not a new member, I was under the name of Jupiterdroid but erased my account as i have a massive year at university this year and would not be using my account as much..

I had well over 2000 posts with the JD account, i wanted it closed as i knew it would be inactive for long periods of time. So Mod get running to Mick and he will tell you the story..

[HTC Sensation] OccasionalDroid:
Good buy mate;)

There isnt anywhere else cheaper thats a fact;) Even though they have now moved it to 450 its still the cheapest. I think they really undercooked it at 419, they had like 15 sales in 5 hours lol.:eek:

[HTC Sensation] kuba1410:
I would really advise you to be very careful when dealing with ecell.

Just google ecell ebay.

They have a very sketchy record with high value items like phones.

I bought a nexus one over a year ago. Had to file a paypal dispute after I found out that they lied about shipping the phone.
[HTC Sensation] OccasionalDroid:
That does sound dodgy, but with over 600,000 phones sold and a good feedback in the high 90's im sure your one was a minor glitch in comparision.

In the UK we have distance selling regulations on our side, so if you dont like it, return it within 14 days and get a refund;)
[HTC Sensation] kuba1410:
Actually it is not 600 000 sold phones. It is 600 000 sold items with a vast majority being low-value items - this is how they boost their feedback.

The research I've done after I ordered my n1 from them indicates that this it was not a minor glitch and their tactics is based on waiting for the 40-day PayPal dispute window to expire. They come up with excuses as to why they haven't shipped yet or outright lie to you (as was in my case) claiming that the phone has been shipped.

Maybe they've changed their ways, I don't know. Just thought a heads up was in order.
