Every device is a bit different on how they react with your carrier and you service area. The only way to find out is to take the three min it takes to switch and try it out .

I've been using these settings for a whole, and recently the phone changes to the "ATT" APN setting when I hit a good 4g spot! Is this at&t kicking me off?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] FroggyStyle:
I used this for a min and it seemed faster, then data dropped and when it returned it was H+ and would not switch back to 4G until re-boot.

AT&T Stock JB

I am running stock AT&T JB, rooted. Can't delete the APN that is there. I added the APN outlined in the thread, but it won't hold. Reverts back to stock APN. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] INeFFeCTiVE:
This can only be done with AOSP/CM not stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
I went in and deleted the stock APN file inside the system but I found that the APN becomes unstable, my data dropped a lot and when I went in had to reselect my APN because the ROM even though it was the only one there it would try to revert to default and would just not have the default apn to switch back to so it would just turn off data.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] partyman66:
It can be done on a stock rom if you are rooted. Use an application called APN Backup-Restore and install it as a system app by creating a folder "\system\privapp\ApnBackupRestore" with 755 permissions, placing the .apk file for the ApnBackupRestore app in there and then rebooting.

After the reboot, the app will automatically be installed as a system app. Launch it and use the in-app menu to disable the ICS check. Then use the app to create a backup of your APN settings. It will output it to a .xml file on your SD storage. Open that file with a text editor (preferably on a computer for easier editing) and find and change the values for your default APN in there. When done, make sure the modified file is in the ApnBackupRestore folder on your SD storage, and use the app to delete All APNS on the system and then restore them from your modified file.

Are you guys weren't using HSPA/+? The CM9 Rom comes with messed up APN settings. Simply entering the correct ones will get LTE up and running again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
Yes your right..Am currently on cm9 and those settings in (APN type) didn't show anything but a couple values within it..I flashed the modem above and simply added what was needed in the field..clicked menu and saved it,,the setting stuck...And all is good for me..Am still hitting up to 18-26 mbps with that modem..I didn't have lte before i flashed that modem posted above, then fixed the setting and BAM..It enabled my lte which i never had before..i'm running a 5 GHz dual band WiFi modem at home and now these speeds are even faster then my WiFi..my wife's s2 is non rooted same service and its slow as ****..lol.i gotta root hers shes jealous now. though i still like to stay on WiFi because of my data plan..but its nice to have a increase like that when am out. Of all the phones i owned this is the fastest now.

Did you flash the modem and apply those setting..whats your results good or bad?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
Anyone reading this should enter the correct APN settings before flashing the modem, so we can see if flashing the modem is even required, or if the APN settings are just bored and Phflormed.

And if someone is feelin' extra diligent:

These are the APN settings i use:

Name: ATT PTA

APN: pta

MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net

MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net

MMS port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Auth: none

APN type: default,mms,supl,hipri

Let's compare 'em. I'm gonna do some research and find out what the additional entries the OP suggested putting in the "APN type" field do.

Is there a modified apn file somewhere that we can use to edit the "apn type" field??... Can't seem to get past that one...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bailey1:
I think this has a different affect, if you have never had LTE before that easily explains the speed increase. I tested this as well as you know from the cm9 thread this modem has been the most stable for me however there is no increase in speed for me by using this apn, simple fact i'm not in a LTE area. I'll do some more testing this weekend when i'm in an LTE area(St Louis baby w00t) and see if there is any difference in speed on the same lte network using the default cm9 lte apn and this one.

wish777, I am sending you a virtual handshake, and a hit on your Thanks button. I didn't think changing those settings would help my service.

Normally had ~1-2 bars at my house, now it's always on 4, AND my speeds are 6mbps on hspa+. Not bad at all.

I also checked with AT&T about any new towers going up, just in case of a coincidence. Negatron, boosts came from APN type changes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
Awesome man... I did the exact same thing as you I called at&t and asked if they where working on a tower or servicing in the area,they so no. I just couldn't believe the difference .. though I guess everyone phone could be a little different between certain circumstances,area where you live, etc

Can you please capture a screen shot of those speeds and post here?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rambo6:
The APT APN settings work the best for me with my ATT Note. I had been using the same SIM card for 5 years. I found out that to get LTE speeds, one has to have an LTE SIM card, the correct APN settings, and one's account must be provisioned for LTE.

Don't assume your phone was set up correctly by the ATT Store. If the PTA apn settings don't give you a data connection, call customer service and make sure your account is set up for LTE. If you are one of those like me who has an old grandfathered plan, you will need as new SIM card. ATT won't charge for the card.

With the PTA APN settings and the UCLE2 ROM I'm getting the fasttest speeds I've ever had on ATT.

I have better luck with the ATT LTE APN that comes with CM9. Maybe it was on the latest update/patch? I'm not really sure. I assume so because most of the settings are identical besides the bottom few.

Either way, thanks for helping me catch a problem! My speedtests would fail at about 50% every time with the default ATT APN. Now I'm geting consistant data at around 6mb/s (compared to inconsistant 1mb/s before).

Sorry .. a little late to the reply, but here is the screen shot from both of my Galaxy Note I717 and Galaxy Tab 8.9 I957. I could not switch to HSPA nor that I can modify my APN. Everything is default from AT&T APN.

Forgot one more thing, I did get crappy HSPA @ 2Mb when I first received the Galaxy Tab 8.9. Apparently they did not put the LTE SIM card in my Tab. I brought it back and AT&T replace the SIM card with a LTE SIM card and provision it. Everything flying afterward

On my rom there was no way to change the apn values you mentioned in the original post. All the settings were identical to the apn that was already on my phone, so naturally there was no change to my results. Which for being on lte and only getting 3mbs down and 0.3 up were terrible. On Verizon lte I got 17mbs down and 6mb up
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] knoxster:
I managed to do this on a stock ROM using apn backup and restore.... I backed up my apn.

Copied the file and renamed the copy. Its an xml file.

I edited in WordPad on a PC, copied back to phone. Restored the modified xml using the apn backup and restore app.

And after all that... Currently in Orlando Florida... Did not really see much diff.

So then, i installed the cm9 ROM and frankly didn't see much diff making the changes there either...

But I am loving the CM9 so much, don't really care.
