First off DO NOT DO FACTORY RESET FROM STOCK ICS. There's a bug triggered by the wipe function that could possibly damage eMMC CHIP and turn your Note into a brick. Read all the warnings in the general thread and stickies.

As far as not getting data, the settings are a bit different for ICS. I think you have to actually type in "default" for APN type. Make sure packet data is checked, reboot or toggle data.

Can u get data if you use that SIM in another phone?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rlynchtx:
Thanks

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately my other phones are all Verizon models, so I can't test the sim with them. How can I type "default"? I think on this OS I can only flag the radio button choices.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] akenis:
This is what u see on GB. I tried ICS before and I had to manually fill in "default".
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ~~Tito~~:
How is data, is it quick? Stable? Does straight talk have the roaming agreements that at&t has?

APN Type

Mine is the same screen - only radio buttons to choose apn type. My phone shows Android version 4.0.3
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] akenis:
Then per the original post...you shiuld select internet for the first APN.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rmgill:
If you poke around a bit you'll find a thread somewhere discussing the stability of Straight Talk HSPA+ on the Note. Most users don't have any complaints, but there are some who experience temporary connection drops and pockets of slow speed here and there. Some of these issues were resolved by removing proxies in the Straight Talk APN settings.

Personally, I haven't had any issues with stability or speed. My bandwidth ranges from 1-4mbits depending on location which is plenty for mobile browsing. Ping isn't too bad either, around 80-120ms.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ~~Tito~~:
Nice will have to check it out for a month. Think I'm going to get a VPN running through so in case I tether they cant see. Do you think its worth porting over to Straight Talk?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ~~Tito~~:
Hey guys keep an eye out on this thread, I will be posting updates there :). Very pressing issue for us.

Ok. Very confused. I got an Int Note a week ago. I used the settings that came on the ST card. Data is super fast although I'm not always able to use Speed Test for some reason.

During my first week with the device I got the official upgrade to ICS. All of this APN talk is confusing. Should I use one or two APN's?

Oh, I forgot to mention...I'm not receiving MMS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr. xp55:
Thanks for the info. Just to clarify, do I need a specific phone to activate the sim? As in I can't insert the sim and just activate it with my note? I looked on the website and when buying the sim where it says choose phone type, there's an option for "unlocked gsm phone (phone must operate in 850 and 1900 mhz bands)" and the note does have these bands..

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] deserthi:
Funny, I just got a call yesterday from Streighttalk saying that I am using too much data and that it keeps up they will have to thottle me or cancel my account. I don't us much data at all. My email checks every 15 min. I go on the net a few times a day for no more than 10 min. and I only listen to music like pandora one or two days a week for a couple of hours. I called and yelled at them today and the lady that I could hardly understand asked me a bunch of what she called trouble shooting and she told me I should not get these messages again. Am I missing something here. I have unlimited data?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] akenis:
Just switched back to ICS. Rocket Rom v7 is LQ3 based with LR1 modem. Anyone got mms working on similar setup? I double checked the APN I had been using on GB Rom and also tried the single APN above by DSL. No luck.

I was on stock LPY Rom A while back and it worked fine. I remember having to type in default per the OP, but this ROM has a different APN setup...APN options are only internet, mms, or both. No mention of supl? or ability to type things.

1 Will try to redo APN SETTINGS again

2. Any chance there's a problem on ST end?

3. Rocket Rom includes mod no mms auto convert?

Solved:

Working from the OP double APN settings, I called ST to try and see if something was wrong from there end. I kind of made it sound like I had one APN with the same settings that they provide. He also had me try MMS proxies:

66.209.11.33

mms2.tracfone.com

wireless.cingular.com

No luck.

The mms no convert mod is not a factor. It has something to do with splitting long text messages.

After hanging up, I deleted my MMS APN and modified the first one exactly as directed from ST:

Name Straight Talk

APN att.mvno

Proxy proxy.mvno.tracfone.com

Port 80

MMSC http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS Proxy 66.209.11.33

MMS Port 80

then select

APN Type Internet + MMS

And it works!!

So then I wanted to test/disprove theory that two APN's are better than one. The signal seems fine, and web browsing is fine. But speedtest.net stops due to network error. So I deleted the first proxy settings, and speedtest runs fine. Speed seems better than my previous setup. Also from the threads/rummors it seems that perhaps proxy setting has something to do with possible data limits, so I'm gonna run without it. Hope this helps!

Net10 APN

I use Net10 instead of Straight Talk. Tonight I reflashed the paranoid rom which comes with the Straight Talk apn and my phone automatically started using it. I thought it was strange that it worked. I also noticed that it was slower then Net10. When I did a speedtest it would jump to 3.5Mbps and settle down to 1.5 to 2.5 Mbps and upload was always 1 Mbps. Is this what you ST users are seeing? On Net10 I can not do a speedtest, it's blocked. But when I use Usenet it downloads between 2.5 and 7.2 Mbps.

Here is what I'm thinking, if I can use the ST apn, maybe you can use the Net10 apn. Now I don't expect you guys to do a usenet download since ST seems to be a little toucher about data usage. Just give the apn a try and see if it works and if it does, see if browsing is better for you.

Here is a link to the Net10 APN.

n7000 vs i717 data, mms, apn's, ?????

I feel like I'm beating a dead horse .... but I'm still having problems getting my unlocked international Note to function as well as the unlocked AT&T branded version. Specifically with regard to mms and data connection speeds. I've been reading posts and changing settings testing in new phone rebooting testing swapping sim to old phone rebooting, testing between phones all day....i'm absolutely at a loss to find all the information in one place and that it be current.

The i717 - pretty much keeps 4G wherever I am (Rochester, NY) so data speeds are good. MMS works quickly when I'm on mobile network or on wifi.

The N7000 - pretty much keeps H+. I do have data (which it seems many people have lost both data and mms) but I have data, its just not as fast and plain old sms texting works but MMS doesn't. Messages just sit and spin :silly: forever. At this point I'd live with the slower data speeds just to get the mms working!

Techy phone details that maybe are pertinent:

i717

oh yea and I also tried the two apn scenario and that didn't help it either. What am I missing??

Again, sorry for beating a dead horse (I love horses!) I'm praying someone can help me resolve this so I don't have to go back to the AT&T branded phone, I don't like giving them free advertising when I am using my phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xxBrun0xx:
On your N7000, get rid of your proxy port, since you're not using a proxy. Also, for APN type, change it to "default,supl,mms", reboot, and you're good to go. If that doesn't work, then you need to flash a new modem. Check here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1645202&page=6
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] susierule:
Any other options...at all??

I removed the port, but the apn type on the n7000 doesn't have the "default,supl,mms" it only has "internet" or "mms" or "internet+mms".

I'm really not comfortable flashing roms and modems and so forth .... is there anything else to try, before resigning myself back to the i717 or going to a completely new phone? :fingers-crossed: BTW thank you so much for your help!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xxBrun0xx:
It could be two things: your modem is screwy (not likely if you are running bone stock system) or your internal radio is screwed up (hardware defect, return to manufacturer), which is to my knowledge not a common issue with these phones.

Do me a favor, try deleting your apn and create a new one using the information on the first Page without proxy or proxy port, the more reboot. Worth a shot. The international note is worlds better than the att version (although part of that are the better custom roms, which you've said you don't want to touch).

Apple innovates and Samsung copies, huh? Tell that to my galaxy note :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] susierule:
Well, I gave that a shot and it didn't work, but.....then I realized I could do a factory reset without any issues because I haven't done any rom changes yet, etc. After reset, I created the new apn and voila - it works - yea!! :victory:

I so appreciate your help!! As a newbie with this android, I'm not yet comfy exploring the customizations with roms (I'm still working on getting backups done succesfully lol) but ultimately that is one of the reasons I ditched the AT&T branded version, (plus the wonderful home key!!!). When the time comes for me to get daring..you will see me again.

Thanks again! :highfive:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xxBrun0xx:
Hey no problem, glad you figured it out! Fyi, backups are a lot easier once you have clockworkmod. If you ever need any help, feel free to pm me. Can't promise ill be able to help, but can probably steer you in the right direction. Congrats on getting ST working! :D

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom32090:
Hello XDA fourms, i have just today bought a nook color. I have been researching rooting it so i can read my manga and comics on it. I have decided to root it through a micro sd 4gb card so that if i want to use my nook regularly i can. now the problem is i can not understand half the things people say to do to achieve rooting my Nook color. can any one help me or redirect me to an easy place to teach me how to do this?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BruceMcF:
That's exactly how I started out. You can find instructions on the "[ROM][CM7] [v1.3] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards." thread in the "Nook Color Android Development" forum. I'm no Android expert, being more a console Linux & C/Forth kind of guy, but it worked for me.

Since I spent most of my time in stock and only had a few apps I actually used on the card, I ended up rooting the stock nook with a manual nooter to install those apps in the Nook Color stock home page ... but using the SD card install for a month was quite useful in working out whether I wanted to root the stock B&N firmware or install a CM7 firmware instead.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom32090:
ok so i tried to make an sd card out of my 4 gb but it didnt work so i decided to reformate it and now it only has 117 mb! wth? im so confused...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nook711:
when you write the image to the SD card the partition is 117mbs. windows can only see that partition (there is actually 4 on the card after the image is written) that's why when you hit reformat it reformatted it to 117mbs. boot your nook up into stock form with the SD card in it, then go into your settings and hit "unmount SD card" then hit "reformat". That'll get you back to 4gbs.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom32090:
ok great! ill try that thank you very much! but now how do i get it rooted?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BruceMcF:
If you "want to root it through a micro sd 4gb card so that if i want to use my nook regularly i can" ... you aren't really rooting the device, you are just making an SD card that will boot up its own system and leave the stock system in the built-in flash alone. Then if the card is pulled out (or replaced with a non-bootable SD card), the bootloader skips the SD card and boots from the internal flash.

If you are using a Windows box, as nook711 explained, the regular Windows format will not change existing SD partitions, so it will just format one relatively small partition on the SD card. To reformat back to a single clean SD partition on the Windows side, google for Panasonic SDFormatter.

As far as how to get that card to work as an SD-boot card ~ its hard to say, since you didn't say what went wrong the first time you tried it: which imager program did you use? did you power the Nook down all the way before rebooting it? Did it hang, or did it fail to boot and start up as a stock Nook Color?

Unless of course I misread you: if you want to root it using a SD card in a way that allows it to also be used as a regular Nook ~ that is, the third party apps show up in what looks like a regular B&N Home page ~ that is a manual noot you want to do. The instructions for doing a manual noot are in the "[NC][1.2][1.3] ManualNooter 4.6.16" thread. However, those are instructions for a 1.2 or 1.3 version. Instead of using the manualnooter file described in the opening post, skip ahead to page 175, and look for GMPOWER's post #1745. The "LINK" downloads a manualnooter file that seems to work for a stock Nook Color 1.4.1 ~ at least, that's the one I've used and now I have what looks like a stock Nook Color, except with Crackle, Crunchyroll, YouTube, OpenIntents and DolphinMini apps showing up on the B&N home pages.

so what happen on my first try was i used winimage to write the genertic sd card file on to it. i than put update-cm-7.1.0-encore-signed.zip on the card. my nook was off and i turned it on. it did not boot from the sd card. i have not tried holding the n button to see if that worked yet. i do have the sd card formatted and i have already formatted the card back to 4 gb. Next i was going to do the same steps but try and hold the n button

update:so i tried the N button but it didnt boot the sd card... i just dont know what im doing wrong!?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nook711:
if it did not boot from the sdcard then I would suspect that the image did not write to the sdcard correctly. the nook will automatically look at the sdcard boot first.

did you unzip the image file before writing it to the card?

did you write the image as admin in the winimage?

After writing the image to the sdcard remove it from your computer and then plug it back in the computer, if it wrote correctly it should now say "boot"
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BruceMcF:
"my nook was off and i turned it on. it did not boot from the sd card"

It only boots if it is turned on from a powerdown. If it just went to sleep to save the battery, and a quick tap of the power button can wake it up, its not powered down, its only sleeping.

When its awake, hold the power button, wait for the "do you want to turn it off completely" dialog, keep holding the power button, and it will turn off. That is a complete power down. Then put in the bootable SD-card, and hold the power button until it turns on ~ it ought to boot off the card instead of off the Nook internal flash.

Like any Android device, it will take a while to go from the boot screen to the home screen on the first power-up, but you'll see the skaterboy droid in a couple of minutes and know that its grinding through the process of setting up the CM7 system.

And regarding the CM7 update file ~ looking in my PC file system, that's the same CM7 update file I used.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BruceMcF:
There are only three things that come to my mind:

(1) What is the make and class of the microSD card? That's not from personal experience, but it shows up in multiple HowTo guides, both here and on other sites. I used a Kingston Class 4 8gb microSD card, but the preference seems to be for SanDisk Class 4.

(2) A generic image is likely to work best if its written onto a "like new" fully formatted SD card ~ I have seen a few YouTube clips of various rooting efforts where formatting it with the Panasonic SDFormatter Windows executable succeeded after the prior effort had failed.

Edit: the YouTube clip you posted is the first one where I saw advice to use the Panasonic SDFormatter. However, other than that, I mostly followed the xda How-To.

I'd note that even though the the CrashTechDummies YouTube clip is from April, 2011, they are using a HowTo guide for a image that is older than the "size-agnostic" image in the "Size-agnostic" How To guide, so they have to do several things by hand that are handled automatically by the "Size-agnostic" image.

(3) What is your hardware for writing SD images? USB-port card writers sometimes need to be safe-unmounted with the USB unmount tool before popped out. I've run into that before in a different context.

If its not one of those, then I got nothing, sorry. The part between copying the CM7 file onto the generic image and seeing the CM7 droid skaterboy "just worked" for me.
