I'm using a Lumia 710 on AT&T Medianet and I am only receiving speeds of 1 mbps download and 1 mbps upload, even though the icon displays 4g. On my iPhone before, I was receiving 10mbps down and 1 mbps up. What's wrong with my Medianet? I am on wap.cingular btw

HTC ONE X

Hey guys,

Thinking of getting the One X from Telus or Rogers version out of Canada. If it's IMEI gets flagged does that render the phone useless as a "blacklisted" phone?? Also maybe someone can answer this for me; I'm actually not looking to convert to MediaNet, but instead use the dumb phone SIM in the Rogers One X but turn off data. Can ATT still see the IMEI with data turned off? In other words looking to let my son have a smart phone and just use data via wireless. Does this work?

Any help appreciated.

[Android General] scav1180:
wife has been using MediaMax on her atrix for the last 2 years, any reason why it never got flagged.. Upgrading to S3, so i'm assuming its going to get lost there...

on ur iphone u were NOT using medianet

[Android General] game100ti:
I know. I should be getting at least 7mbps
[Android General] Mr.Mischief:
I was only getting 1MB down when I used a micro sim that I cut for my iPhone 5. I spent the money on a new nano sim, and my download speed went up to 7MB.

I'm pretty sure the nearest AT&T store will give you a new sim for free.
[Android General] game100ti:
Are you on Medianet? I just got a new micro sim actually haha

What apn and settings?
[Android General] Mr.Mischief:
Yep.

I use wap.cingular
[Android General] game100ti:
I dont understand why my Tmobile Lumia 710 is giving me 1 up and down. I'm also using wap.cingular w/o any proxy. On ATT OLAM, does it show MN21 Data unlimited for non smartphones?
[Android General] jcash74:
As long as att doesn't see it as a smartphone you should be able to do whatever you want with it. I don't think data has anything to do with the imei. I am pretty sure the imei is broadcast to them when connecting the device to the network. Someone please correct me if i am wrong.

AT&T IMEI identification

When buying a Chinese generic phone, I suppose it still has a IMEI that they look at. If they can't identify, will they allow any service at all or block service? Thanks

[Android General] joshyth:
they will let you add medianet if they dont know what you are using.
[Android General] game100ti:
Just got a new SIM Card. still getting only 2 mbps down 1 up
[Android General] joelisajer:
Does it have to be a foreign carrier device? Or can it just be an unlocked version? I'm looking at the HTC ONE X S720E
[Android General] Mr.Mischief:
Any AT&T branded phone, whether unlock or locked, will be caught.

Most international carriers sell unbranded, unlocked devices.

The S720E is the international version, so it'll work.
[Android General] joelisajer:
Okay, but there are unbranded version models like the OneX, that just says HTC ON the face. They are sold in the US eBay listed as"unlocked". They don't say AT&T on them but they are sold in the US market. Does AT&T have those IMEIs you think?
[Android General] joshyth:
most of the one on ebay are international version, unless the seller clearly stated so. Though its always safe that you ask the seller to make sure.
[Android General] Mr.Mischief:
So, the GSM Razr Maxx was flagged, what are the chances of the RAZR HD being flagged?

I hope the chances are high so I can keep my Note II:D
[Android General] Daedalus_:
You can't connect to a network with an invalid or missing imei
[Android General] yangar:
I had the same question. I was looking at cheap Chinese tablets and came across their smartphones. ie. the ones on geekbuying
[Android General] joshyth:
Most of them still got a imei number, so it will be fine to use with medianet plan. Of course there is always risks that these phone have fake imei number on them, since they are after all cloned phone model from other major phone manufacturer.
[Android General] fadinglionhart:
Been using the nexus4 for 2 weeks or so with the medianet plan . Just got a text this morning flagging me for using a smartphone without a data plan

Hello Kyonn,

Did you find out 'i727R' connects to LTE with medianet plan?

I am thinking about getting i727R, just wondering if you found out by this time.

Thx.
[Android General] Faideelah:
Anyone using the international HTC One X? I see a couple on Craigslist and I might pick one up if it hasn't been flagged yet.
[Android General] Mr.Mischief:
I used one a month or so ago. It should still work.
[Android General] Faideelah:
That's awesome! Would you happen to know the going price for it? The ones on CL are around $320 which feels a bit high to me :confused:
[Android General] gharris040604:
That's a good price I just sold mine for 450
[Android General] nunyabiziz:
No LTE devices on medianet can connect to LTE.
[Android General] yw2012:
$320 is a very good price for an international HTC one x in mint condition.
[Android General] Ronzalpha:
ALL international Sony Xperia phones fly under the radar. I've used them all personally and they all work (except for possibly flagged ones).

On the other note, my unlocked T-mobile Note II seems to work perfectly fine for the 2 weeks I've used it so far. Will keep you guys updated.
[Android General] joshyth:
The arc s doesn't work on my account, somehow the imei number got flagged as a palm treo :(

My sister is still using that on my account, but I put a data block feature on it.
[Android General] Cortex_inside:
Has anyone actually used a xiaomi phone on medianet
[Android General] mymellowman:
Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has been using the T-Mobile S3 T999 on at&t medianet and if there have been any issues with them being flagged recently.

Trying to figure out if I'm better off with the int'l HOX or T-Mobile S3 - Preference is for the S3, but only if it isn't being flagged.

I saw that the t999 is showed as having some risk on the main page for this thread, but I havent been able to find many posts (here or in the at&t/t-mobile s3 forums) showing that they're being flagged.

Could it just be t999 with bad imeis that are being caught?

Thanks for the input.

JC
[Android General] sk337sk337:
White t999 32GB is flagged for sure. I have one
[Android General] mymellowman:
Thanks!

I'm looking at a 16gb Pebble Blue, but the fact the 32gb was flagged has me (sadly) leaning towards the HTC One x.
[Android General] Mr.Mischief:
I'm guessing that means the T889(T-Mobile Note II) is next in line to be flagged:(
[Android General] mymellowman:
Has the HTC One X remained off at&t's radar?
[Android General] sumeet909:
Inevitable. Any word on TMO LG Optimus L9?
[Android General] runtohell121:
Planning on getting a used or possibly new phone when I'm in China for my parents, which phone is safe from AT&T to use on medianet? Dad is currently using HTC Radar 4G from T-Mobile and haven't been caught yet but he wants an Android phones for apps that his friends are using. I was thinking about a Meizu MX Dual Core or Xiaomi 1S, something around the $200 USD range is what I'm aiming for.

Any other phones besides Meizu and Xiaomi worth considering? And do they work on AT&T 3G network? I know Meizu does, but not too sure with Xiaomi
[Android General] vinvam:
Pebble blue 16gb here. Flagged unfortunately :/
[Android General] jcash74:
Damned there went my hopeful upgrade to a blue T999... Did anyone confirm.the international one x still works?

N7000 & HTC raider still working on medianet.

[Android General] mymellowman:
I don't have a confirmation on the One X but it seems to have the best odds right now. I pulled the trigger yesterday - I'll let you know if I have any issues.
[Android General] james11417:
No one is getting the international i9300 anymore? Mine still hasn't gotten flagged yet (knock on wood) and my father wants one, but I don't want to risk it.
[Android General] yangar:
I think the T-Mobile Concord will be a perfect entry level 3G capable for ATT phone once the unlock codes come out.

It's available for $99 as a pre-paid T-Mobile phone.

From GSMArena:

2G Network	GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network	HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100

Now to wait for those unlock codes...

SGH-i317M detected as SGH-i317

I tried the SGH-i317M Galaxy Note II and AT&T detects it as an SGH-i317. It got flagged about 5 hours later.
[Android General] chinoboy:
Annnd it just got flagged. Guess I jumped the gun on that one. Will call up ATT to try to get it back on medianet and report back.

EDIT: Called them and switched back to medianet, let's see how long this lasts.

Also, I'm starting to think one of their reps are browsing this thread.
[Android General] teamshao:
Same. Using an international, unlocked, unbranded One S. Time to sell this one I guess... :(

Called in and switched it back and asked the rep about my One S IMEI...denied. Looks like they've identified this phone into their database, cursing it to the depths of AT&T MediaNet hell.
[Android General] sumeet909:
Isn't SGH-i317M the Canadian variant? Meaning, days of i717r are numbered as well?

Perhaps you should try to swap it for Korean variants?
[Android General] runtohell121:
Damn.. No HTC One S is safe then.. Guess only option for me would be Meizu or Xiaomi
[Android General] Alucard400:
My Htc amaze from t mobile just got flagged. I agree that an At&T rep is browsing these boards

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------

I suggest not mentioning any phones on these boards so AT&T doesnt try to find their imei and flag them
[Android General] lolwatpear:
amaze 4g got flagged, wtf
[Android General] Alucard400:
I logged into my account online and saw that my HTC Amaze is still not recognized. I spent two days hacking and unlocking, rooting installing a custom rom. I think the phones are being flagged using other means of finding out. I dont think theyre sweeping by imei but maybe because i am connected by faux 4g(hsdpa+). For sure, AT&T has finally decided to crack down on medianet users with smartphones.
[Android General] paperWastage:
my amaze 4G got detected today as well.... got an sms and email, but the at&t account online still shows my phone as "unknown"

was using the latest version of the CM10 nightlies(20121210) on 4G HSDPA

:(

going to go back to my backup phone... do people just call at&t to take it off the 3GB data plan that they put on?

EDIT: What android versions were you guys using? If at&t account online doesn't update with my Amaze's IMEI, AT&T might be detecting it some other way
[Android General] Alucard400:
I think they detect when you are connecting online in a way that only a smartphone is able to do. Such as use google services. Google play. You can check emails on dumbphones but you definitely cannot run apps that connect online. I dont know if you tethered with you Amaze. I did. So maybe they detected me there
[Android General] fadinglionhart:
My i9100 just got caught as well. Now I don't have any media net smartphones. No nexus 4, no i9100. Getting straight talk ASAP
[Android General] vinvam:
Even the i9100... damn we're screwed.
[Android General] pookeyster:
friend's exhibit II 4g got detected just today as well.. the phone wasn't even using a medianet plan
[Android General] olegy:
Got flagged on T-Mobile Amaze as well. Just one out of three lines yet. Not so sure what was a trigger. Please, share you thoughts and experience, however is is most likely related to the recent T-mobile/ATT IEMI database share. Because Canadian phones never ever got flagged.

It is not fair. We never got any AT&T subsidized phone, always purchased our own for full price. And now have to pay the same rate as upgrading users? No way.

I just used a dumb phone to revert my plan back to Medianet one. However, if we got flagged again, I'd switch to Sprint. Data plan price is not an issue - but a limit ( whatever it is) is an issue..
[Android General] azncber:
But some guy reported it was flagged with his international version which isn't t-mobile...
[Android General] runtohell121:
So.. I plan on getting the Xiaomi 1S and use it on medianet.. is it safe? Or should I get a Meizu?
[Android General] Alucard400:
This is going to be my plan too. Switching back to my dumbphone. Try a Canadian android phone. If I get flagged again, it's bye bye AT&T after 10 years. I will go with a t mobile walmart prepaid with that $30/month unlimited data and texting (but only 100 mins).i hardly talk on the phone so I still save money, give my money to a better company while the other gets my middle finger
[Android General] teamshao:
I have the international One S. Came from Canada. Got flagged yesterday. I called in to switch it back but it's only temporary...I'm thinking about switching the whole 4-line family plan to another carrier or to a prepaid.
[Android General] sumeet909:
You woud've been probably safe; however, after posting this the AT&T rep has gotten to work to locate IMEIs of the phones you listed. :crying: :crying:
[Android General] Daedalus_:
I usually have to call back a second time before I get it working.
[Android General] Mr.Mischief:
Maybe we should make the list private. Only people with 200 or more posts can see it.
[Android General] jcash74:
:Good: idea!

[Android General] runtohell121:
Quite worry about that.. They shouldn't have access to Meizu or Xiaomi though? Currently, dad is using HTC Radar 4G T-Mobile and I'm sure it will get caught soon...
[Android General] Alucard400:
I really don't think it's about the IMEI anymore, but more so other information such as how data is used on the network that is impossible for a dumbphone to do..example: 4 gb usage total in a month with a dumbphone. A java phone shouldnt even be able to use google services or android apps connecting online.

How do you explain prepaid unlimited users not able to activate certain phones? It is IMEI for sure.

[Android General] sumeet909:
Did they force your friend on a data plan then? That's a really sad news. So, you can't even have a phone like One S or Exhibit II with data blocked?
[Android General] Alucard400:
I never said they stopped checking by IMEI. I am saying they are now also using other methods to detect if you use a smartphone along with using your IMEI

My Titanium Grey T889(T-Mobile Note II) Just got Flagged Today after three weeks on Medianet.
[Android General] Ronzalpha:
That's odd. I maybe you somehow got access to a modified version? It's only a wild guess because it shouldn't happen like that.*

Mine just got flagged today too after 3 weeks. I was hoping to make it until next year >.>
[Android General] Elsydeon:
Did you guys that just got flagged, happen to just have a billing cycle renew? Or was it a random day in your billing cycle?
[Android General] Alucard400:
I was actually wondering about it yesterday. I got flagged three days after my billing cycle ended. I am really considering going t mobile $30/month unl texting and data but only 100 mins. But i would lose my grandfathered $30 a month 300 voice mins I got from AT&T ten years ago. I hardly talk on the phone anymore. But i guess i can always use viber if i need more minutes
[Android General] Mr.Mischief:
I'm starting a private list. If you'd like to add a phone or update a current phone, just message me.

Only requirements for the list are:

200 posts or you're a long time member.

Don't share it(if anyone else wants it, tell them to PM me).

It's a Google Doc stored on my Google Drive, so updates to the list will be available immediately.
[Android General] Elsydeon:
Last time I got flagged, was one day after they billed me, I asked to be switched back that same day. My billing cycle renewal however ends one week after they bill me, which is today...didn't get hit today, will be interesting to see what happens these next few days.

I'd jump to T-mobile myself too for their $49.99 Value plan, except I do make heavy use of my mobile to mobile within AT&T's network, as my parents and friends are all with AT&T. Plus I have a pretty heavy employee discount, making the cost more or less equal if I am ultimately forced to move on to their smartphone plan, minus a text message plan and the pitiful 300 megs of data. Lastly given the plan costs are equal, if I'm forced to sign my soul away for 2 years either way, I'd rather at least get a subsidized phone out of it to flip for something.

mine was flagged >10 days after end of billing cycle.... wondering if I should get another phone to test my luck
[Android General] Elsydeon:
I got flagged again yesterday, same day as when my billing cycle reset. So in my case, it seems like they did a sweep when they billed me, and then a week later when my billing cycle reset. I give up at this point, I called in and asked to be put on the 300 meg plan. I'm keeping myself off contract so that when T-mobile fully deploys their 1900MHz 3G band in my area, I can jump ship.

Tmobile exhibit II was flagged today also.
[Android General] phorkz:
I had a international galaxy s3 and a T-Mobile galaxy s2 flagged at the same time a few days ago. I had just added data to the s2. Not sure if that had any correlation with my s3 getting flashed. Not sure what to do now.
[Android General] joshyth:
hmmm.....wonder how long it will last for the n7100???
[Android General] Alucard400:
Look at moving to t mobile for a value plan. If at least one of your phones support the 3g/4g speeds at t mobile, then you can get the value plan and save a whole lot on monthly. I will probably go the t mobile $30/month plan that gives a unlited data and texting as i need it more than voice minutes.

[Android General] Elsydeon:
My Nexus 4 is what got flagged twice in a row. I know I'm not the only one that got flagged with it too, so it's as good as dead for Medianet.
[Android General] Mr.Mischief:
Has anyone tried a 747M(Canadian S3)?
[Android General] chinoboy:
Okay so I've been flagged twice with the one s now.

One thing I've noticed though, and take this with a grain of salt, is that these flags tend to happen after I used speedtest.

So yeah, don't use it. Also, try not to download large files with your plan, cause that might set off the flag too.

I'm going to follow my own advice and see if I get flagged a third time. If I do, I'm going to just stick with the data plan they give me, whatever. Its too much hassle trying to argue with CS every time.
[Android General] Dragoon0309:
I tend to swap mine out with a dumphone once or twice a month to use it and let them see. Other than that, mine has been smooth sailing for months. But I used foreign chinese hardware
[Android General] teamshao:
It's not that. It seems the sweep comes every two weeks. I got the message again today, exactly 2 weeks after the last one. I'm going to keep it for now and then take my whole account to straight talk. It's going to be much cheaper for me.

[Android General] Alucard400:
It looks like they now make sweeps using the first digits of IMEI numbers. it's no longer a long string of IMEI numbers. the first digits will identify a device as being a smartphone and medianet accounts are subject to being switched automatically upon detection of any smartphone/iphone device. Buying an international phone won't bypass this unless the phone has a similar string of digits to a java/dumbphone.
[Android General] Mr.Mischief:
There are still quite a few international phones that aren't detected.

Most notably, the HTC One X. Even though AT&T sells them, they can't detect the international. I'm sure the IMEIs are quite similar too.
[Android General] Alucard400:
Wasn't the HTC One X already flagged? even so, if it really isn't, then it shouldn't be mentioned publicly lol. Next time, you should post something like that in this way

[Note 2 is on unlimited $30 smartphone plan. I have a "pm me if you want to know" phone on MediaNet.]

I am interested in a lot of other phones, but I do not want to get flagged by AT&T again.
[Android General] Mr.Mischief:
It has been discussed many times in this thread. Posting once more wont hurt.

The international Tegra 3 One X is compatible. I'm guessing the internation One X+ is also compatible.

If anyone wants the private MEdia Net list, send me a message.
[Android General] paperWastage:
IMEIs are always like that... its standardized, and all you need is the TAC, which is probably public enough... it's just that whether AT&T finds the time to add those codes in and check, or whether the database they subscribed to has it
