Same here. I've been using nothing but Android since the G1 and I've never had these issues until the Note on ST, so I don't think that it's an Android OS issue UNLESS Samsung has a bug in the OS on the Note.

When I have time I'll do a search in the Galaxy Nexus forum or something to see if there are any problems with people on ST there...

I'm up in the grass valley area. Same set up as you. (But I did not touch Fast Dormancy).

It works pretty well, but I do see the signal get lost every once in a while. I just wait a sec and it reconnects.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
I had inter.. data connect issues for the longest time..i would constantly have data stop and have to turn on and off airplane mode to get it back..

market would fail to load etc

i changed to a single APN using the settings in this post and my data hasnt dropped out since..

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] got556:
While custom rom'ing I was using Straight Talks APN settings w/ fast dormancy off and had no problems in downtown Chicago and on the north side around Wrigleyville where I reside.

W/ that said I installed the Chinese ICS Leak when it first came out and I had worse signals than on the GB rom's. Could have been the radio I flashed.

MrDSL,

What is the MCC and MNC value you have?

The link you posted show MCC: 410 only, no MNC.

What I have is:

MNC: 410
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
my MCC is 310 and MNC 410 like yours
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lanwarrior:
I guess I spoke too soon... the APN setting you provided actually slow down everything.

Sigh.. maybe its the cell tower(s) near my area. So I am back to the 2 separate APN settings I have posted in the 1st thread above.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jaypeezee:
Haven't read through the whole thread but thought I'd chime in...

If you purchased the "BYOD" (Bring your own device) SIM then you NEED to use the APN on ST's website.

I've run into lots of people having the same issue you describe and it usually came down to one of two things, or a combination of both; Actual Network problems, which neither you nor I have any control over OR incorrect APN's.

The APN's you've listed are for the Nokia Sim-Swap devices (i.e. E71) - These are APN's for users who actually had ST Unlimited Data SIM's before the BYOD was introduced. These are the settings I am using because my sim is from an E71. I just purchased a SIM for my fathers phone and after using my APN's he encountered the exact issues you are describing. When I finally switched him over to the suggested APN's from ST's website we've seen NO issues.

I am in SoCal - In LA with good/great network coverage I can receive a constant 6+Mbps/1-2Mbps... I can stream At Bat '12 with no issues other than excessive data which I am extremely mindful of :) I try not to watch no more than a few innings a day to keep around 100-150mb (unwritten) limit
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lanwarrior:
That's the first thing I tried, and I have really bad connection. Most of the time it's less than 200 kbps, timeout all the time, etc.

Guys I'm using a note Europe version and used the linked apn i provided esrlier. I used The XML file and apn backup software to load it and it works flawless and has no data or mms issues for 3 months never had to cycle airplane mode. St or att is blocking the speed test app just do those settings I used and all will be well. If it continues it maybe your modem version.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PorscheGuy:
Giving these a try as I'm in the same area!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
thats the thing..I DID use the settings provided for me from ST when I got my sm card and the data connection sucked..Half the time it wouldnt even download from the market or load websites..

Anyone on ics stunner and able to get data working?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dgfriedl:
I've got Stunner and data works fine. I run the APN settings that Straight Talk sent me with the SIM kit, sans the Proxy or Proxy Port.

Originally I was using their exact settings and after switching to Stunner the SpeedTest.net app would find ping but not a download speed. Most other apps were unaffected but, even on the stock ROM, I found that data speeds would fall off a cliff after a few minutes of a download.

At the same time I was working on this, my son's G2 on Straight Talk T-mo developed a problem with the browser. In troubleshooting that, I found that the Straight Talk proxy was the source of the problem so I removed that setting from the APN settings. Since it worked for him, I tried it on the Note as well and now I have no problems with the SpeedTest.net app or downloads.

-darren
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nedy78:
Very strange, no luck with data. Tried varying combinations of apn settings and also toggled the other system settings for 2g only and hspa options. Bummer, first ics rom and was liking it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pfer10:
I have came to the same conclusion. Something is jacked in their proxy. I had the exact same problems. Kept fiddling with the APN and I found the exact same thing as Darren. Been using no proxy for a couple days now and smooth sailing in a couple different areas of the State. Now I am getting 4 down 1 up pretty consistent. +1 to Darren's post!

Edit: I have been on Stunner the whole time since switching to ST.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Disconnections when enabling market is a classic example of some firmwares not handling the dual-APN approach very well.

AT&T HSPA users had the same problem with CM7 on the SGH-I777 (Galaxy S II) and the SGH-I997 (Infuse)

Not sure about CM9 - I never use MMS so I only use the "phone" APN on AT&T (which is probably identical to the first att.mvno APN listed above)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lanwarrior:
For those who said you were ABLE to SOLVE the problem with Market download, high-speed (2 Mbps plus) by removing the proxy, could you tell me if:

1). You use ICS (I use Gingebread - stock but rooted)

2). The APN settings you use is:

APN : att.mvno

Proxy: n/a

Port : n/a (originally 80)

Username : n/a

Password : n/a

Server : n/a

MMSC : http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS Proxy : proxy.mvno.tracfone.com

APN type: internet+mms (one APN instead of two)

This may be a little offtopic but if I were to go to Walmart and buy the kit from there would it work the same or do I need to order it online?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pfer10:
Here you go. On Stunner ICS I have no problems now. Stock settings that came with sim gave me connectivity issues and I could hardly complete the speedtest.net.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lanwarrior:
I used the settings above and although I have

less

disconnect, I still experience on certain connection where there is no data being transmitted for 2-10 seconds.

However, the worst is that now my speed is less than 100 Kbps. Tried this in different area in Southern California just to make sure it's not the tower at my place.

I think the settings used above works very well for

ICS

, but

not

stock Gingerbread, judging by the post from people who used the settings but running ICS.

Not sure if this has to do with the MODEM FIRMWARE. I have Baseband N7000UBKK1 and my Note is from Latin America.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pfer10:
You have a very valid point. I am on N7000XXLB2 for reference and I have have never tested on GB. Keep trying different combos. Maybe put the internet+mms in type? When I tried that in ICS it broke data all together.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Twistedchild420:
I have tried many roms on my note. Been on St the whole time. Never had a single issue with connectivity. I'm on ics stunner now. I have noticed no matter what rom I'm on .....stock gb has always gave me the fastest speeds. Speed test won't work on stunner for some reason. But I always got a consistent 5.3mb+ on dl speeds with stock. Again......in St since day 1.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lanwarrior:
Do yo mind telling me:

- Which country your Note is from? Mine is from Latin America

- What Modem firmware do you have (Basedband in "About Phone")

I am just narrowing down the possibility if this is GB issue, Note issue, or ST cell tower issue.

FYI, I had issue when I first got my ST in that I CANNOT setup voicemail when I am connecting to the cell tower near my office. The moment I am out of the range of that tower, voicemail setup works. Even until today, I CANNOT check voicemail when I am in my office. I chatted with other people in other forums that it seems to have something to do with how AT&T provision their tower for ST users..or something like that.

The reason I mentioned this is to show an example that sometimes it IS an issue with ST, no matter how weird it is.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] freedomispopular:
Just got mine set up for the first time. Used the settings ST provided. In Canton, OH area, with -109 dBm signal strength, SpeedTest was showing ~120 ms ping, 300 kbps down, 200 kbps up. Removed the proxy and got ~800 ms ping, 1.2 mbps down, 400 kbps up. Not too great, but faster than anything I ever got on Virgin, so I'm happy.

NYC area here. Data is slow (3-6 down 1-2 up) but when I have signal it is rock solid. Don't have much of a problem with signal either, I just live in a hilly suburban area. I get signal much easier than I did with Tmo, and the same level as my ATT friends do.

Stock ROM, fast dormancy disabled, 2 apns set up as described in this forum.

In the Temecula, CA area (I wish that I was also still in the Canton, OH area!) and getting rock solid data and better speeds now after removing the Proxy and disabling Fast Dormancy again.

I'm getting pretty fast speeds at 3.6MB DL and 1.8M UL after changing from the ST apn settings to the ones listed in this thread. I'm in the Chicagoland area. I'll have to try it with fast dormancy disabled.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] duowing:
Thought I'd chime in here. My Data connection seems to be pretty good as well. I'm using the sim from the Nokia E71. I've been wondering if it would be worth switching to the BYOD SIM or if people are seeing the same data speeds with the E71 SIM as the BYOD SIM? I currently use one APN with no Proxy or Proxy Port for data and everything seems to work decently. I don't know if this is a Galaxy Note or Straight Talk problem though, but every once in a while I will completely lose all cell signal and my phone will go into Emergency Calls Only mode until I either reset my device or toggle airplane mode on then off.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adelmundo:
After a 5 weeks with my Note (Gingerbread ROM all stock but rooted, in the East Bay of the SF Bay Area) and using the settings in the OP, EXCEPT for Fast dormancy which I have enabled, data has been rock solid and averaging 3-4 Mbps in my house d/l, and over 1 Mbps u/l. When I tried fast dormancy disabled, data would stop working after a phone call or waking the phone up sometimes. When I re-enabled fast dormancy, data hasn't dropped where I would have to toggle data on/off.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] krazman325:
You guys don't know what slow is! EDGE here just north of Wichita Kansas. Check these speeds out:

att bastards won't upgrade this area to 3g. In spite of that, I'm loving the $45 unlimited plan from ST!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adelmundo:
Are T-Mo's speeds better in your area? Maybe you can try T-Mo's prepaid plan or go with ST's T-Mo SIM option.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:

Help?

I'm really interested in setting up the Samsung Galaxy Note on the Straight Talk network. I've read a few forums on here, and i'm worried that it might be too complicated for me despite what it says on Straight Talk's site. I don't just want to buy the $550 phone and have this not work or there be faulty data. Should I just buy the regular AT&T version or the unlocked? I'm not really interested in the International version. Would someone be able to write a step by step guide for me please? I would be very grateful :o
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pfer10:
The international version has much more development. In the long run you will be happier with it.

ST works fine. Buy the AT&T sim card online. Pop the card in follow the included directions and it will work. On ICS I found removing the internet proxy works better for me.

People are here to help if you have problems.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pfer10:
Speeds I have been getting.

My Tmo SGS2 would get above 15mb in the city but if I traveled like where I am at now it would struggle on edge to get 250k. Sometimes unable to send something as simple as a Google Voice text.

Sprint pretty much sucked everywhere that didn't have 4g. Seemed like 100% of the places I was at...

Really happy with the consistency of the ST data so far. Although it is $15 more than the Tmo plan I was on, not having to worry about 100 voice minutes any more is well worth it and nice solid data no matter where I travel.

Savings over Sprint... priceless. Glad to have stopped dumping my money in NASCAB as that was the only place they were putting money.

All right, I've discovered that my settings aren't working for MMS. Default apn settings from Straight Talk with proxy deleted. Anyone know what's going on?

Edit: I restored the proxy settings and MMS worked. So it looks like if you delete the proxy, you'll get better data speeds, and if you want MMS, keep the MMS proxy.

I know this thread is a little old, but I wanted to add that in additional to poor connection issues, I was getting extremely slow download speeds. I'm in the Sacramento area using AT&T towers on ST.

I contacted ST via their forums, and the tech flipped some kind of switch that made my data speeds go back up to 4-5mbps vs the 100kbps I was getting prior. It appears to me that they throttled my account, even though I am on wifi 80% of the time. There are many people in that forum that had the same exact experience. Shadiness...

Where is the setting to enable or disable fast dormacy? I am on a Samsung ICS rom and have the issue of random data disconnections, at least once a day. Strange thing is that my galaxy note that I lost, I also used straight talk with the same settings and never had the disconnect issue once I switched to two APNs but did have it with one APN. So did we come to a conclusion which settings give the best results? It sucks going from 6mbs to nothing.

REBOOT, which is clunky and time consuming at best, especially when you are out and about.

The screen backlight on my D3 took a crap so I called it in and got a replacement. To my surprise, they gave me a brand new one instead of a refurbished or "reconditioned" phone. To my *even greater* surprise, the .906 update was already installed. My question is this: do safestrap and AOSP ICS or AOKP ICS support the .906 update? Also, what do I do if something happens? I am not aware of any available SBF for the .906 system. What needs to happen for the fastboot files to be made available? Any answers are much appreciated.
