PSA: phone APN doesn't work for me with ST AT&T
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkamikaze:
of course not ... straight talk can only use mvno of ATT....

So I'm guessing as punishment to those who are grandfathered, we may only use a slower network?..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg465x:
Shouldn't be punished. Just call and make sure you're on the smartphone unlimited data plan and tell them you have a 4G HSPA+ phone. They are a bit retarded, but if they set it up correctly, you should be able to create and use the following APN to get HSPA+ speeds (8-12 Mbps usually where available). If you get no data with the following APN, they have you on the wrong plan. They either have you on a non-smartphone data plan or an LTE data plan.

the reason the out of box apn didn't work is because the server is set to cingulargprs.com

removing that makes the speedtest work on wap.cingular with really crappy speeds.

I have a similar problem of data being SUPER SLOW. I called ATT support, got up to level 2 and learned that they don't yet have the N4 IMEI in their system - so it connects to 2G data as unrecognized device. And basically there's nothing they could do.

Used the APN settings here, a little better, but still getting only 1.55/.6 Mbps. One X, iPhone 4 get more like 6/1.5 Mbps.

PS the best part was when they suggested calling google for proper APN settings! :laugh:

That's upsetting. None of the APN configurations in this thread (or the ones I have found online) work to connect to data for me at all. EXCEPT for the stock wap.cingular.com one..

I heard mention of people looking for the Straight Talk APN..here it is: http://straighttalksim.com/support-data.php#att

But this is for a straight talk plan only I am assuming, not AT&T? The AT&T HSPA+ APN settings aren't getting me diddly-squat.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] co.ag.2005:
what phone are you coming from? the stock one works for me but it's too slow and the HSPA+ works great for me, speeds of 4-10 Mbps down... but I took my sim from my One X (LTE device) and put it in this phone...my account is provisioned for 4G LTE data, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.

with regards to straight talk, I don't think that APN will work unless you have service with straight talk with a straight talk sim.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg465x:
Go to an AT&T store and write down the IMEI of one of their 4G Android phones, then call and tell them you have that phone and give them the IMEI. Boom, provisioned to the proper smartphone data plan. Oh, and give them the finger if they ask what you're doing, and again on the way out.

Unlikely that AT&T LTE will get enabled in the US until they use up their superior 700Mhz holdings.

T-Mobile, on the other hand, may very well begin their LTE network on bands the N4 can access.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eep2378:
Thats what I did. They used the imei from my GS2 to keep me on an hspa+ provisioned data plan.

Tell them you want an hspa+ provisioned data plan. If you give them the imei from your N4 its not in their system so you'll get a basic phone plan. I've argued this with them a couple times. My next course of action would be to walk into an AT&T store and write down the imei # from one of their 4g phones. Then call back and give them that one :)

I haven't had any issues but I'm really getting sick of my hspa+ speeds in my area. Status shows hspa+:15 but I only get about 2-3mbps down.

I called customer service and they said the same thing. I called a second time after I grabbed the IMEI off a friend's Note 2 and the rep knew exactly how to soft code my account account for HSPA+. He didn't need the Note 2's IMEI either. If possible I'd call until you reach someone knowledgeable.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontdo_that:
It's unfortunate but probably true that in San Diego, we won't see any improvement in HSPA+. I ran 6 tests today on my 3G Captivate in the Poway and Escondido areas and was getting the same numbers you were... about 3 Mbps down and .5 Mbps up... It's full steam ahead with LTE for AT&T in major markets like SD.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eliter1:
Yeah. The most I have been able to get is 7 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up. I was getting up to 20 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up on my Note with LTE.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManOnTheMoon:
First of all welcome to XDA and Android! I have ATT and I went from an s3 to the n4. On my att account it says im signed up for the 5gig LTE plan...even with my sim card already in my n4. AFAIK if you are on a non lte device the service will automatically provision your account for a regular 3G(4G?) account. You should be able to access HSPA+ regardless. I am not sure as to why att still has my account coded as LTE but either way I am getting amazing speeds. Hope this helps!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vakero:
Thx for the reply!

I'll report back when I get the N4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontdo_that:
I'm thinking about giving T-mobile a whirl. If the reception is decent enough in San Diego, T-mobile is such a good deal with much faster HSPA+42 and lower prices than AT&T... if T-mobile reception still sucks as bad as my friends say it does, I'll just come back to AT&T and not sign a contract. The freedom to try different plans and find out what really works best for me is why I chose to go with the N4 over signing a contract and get the LG Optimus G for even as low as 99$.

Also keep in mind T-mobile has some significant launch plans for LTE next year. This might have a positive impact on their reception quality and coverage. Again, the beauty with the N4 is when this does happen, we can simply jump over to T-mo and test it out with no repercussions.

T-Mobile is fantastic. My brother has the $30 plan with 100 minutes and unlimited text and data and always get 15-22 Mbps down and 1-3 Mbps up. I just signed a contract on February for 2 lines on AT&T and I am still considering canceling and moving over to T-Mobile.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klondikebar_:
This thread has been incredibly useful! I will be moving from an iPhone 4 to a Nexus 4 with AT&T as well and had a few more questions:

(Pardon for the "newbieness" of these questions...)

1) When I walked in to an AT&T Store today, they said that I have to bring the phone in and that only they can do some things in the system to ensure I get the phone working right. Is this true? Can I not call AT&T Phone Support and get it done?

2) Regarding provisioning (or re-provisioning) data on the account, I've heard different versions so I'm not sure which is right - Coming from a 3G plan on iPhone 4, do I have to get myself an LTE plan or a H+ plan and should this step take place after I've popped the sim in the phone and powered it up or even before I pop it in and power the device on?

3) Can AT&T refuse to give me data plan on the basis that my phone is unrecognized in their system?

4) At what step does one edit the APN settings? Before or after new plan has been provisioned?

I attempted chatting with AT&T today to change from my LTE plan to an HSPA+ plan and they were not able to. How did everyone else get theirs escalated and changed?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SysAdmNj:
I would just walk into the at&t store and tell them this is the phone you are using and to transfer your sim over. Thats what i did with my samsung galaxy nexus. They had to change my lte unlimited plan to the regular data unlimited plan, give me a new sims card. They kind of make a big deal so I have no idea how people who say they change sims cards between a nexus and an at&t lte device do it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex72:
You said they gave you a regular data plan. Regular 3G, regular HSPA or HSPA+? What're your download speeds? Usually you'll get 2-3x greater speeds with HSPA+. My speeds on HSPA+ are 3-4 megs during heavy traffic and 6-7 megs during wee hours. I'm subscribed on this tread because my N4 will arrive tomorrow. I have sim cutter at home so I'll try to use my active sim card from my GS2. We'll see how that goes.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silversleeper:
I'm not getting the proper assistance from AT&T chat... they are telling me that the device is unsupported and they cannot provision a 4G plan to an unlocked phone. I think this is ridiculous considering I'm paying for such a plan. Will try later at the store in person and see what comes of it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotzaDroid:
If you are already on a LTE plan, just cut the sim down or get a sim cutter. Don't tell att crap cause they'll just screw things up. Putting the LTE provisioned sim in the N4 is no different than buying a LTE phone with a LTE plan, but not living in a LTE area. The only thing you might have to do is add a new APN. And if worse comes to worse and cutting the sim doesn't work, just walk into the att store and ask for a new one. Att won't ask for the old one back. But then you might lose that LTE plan.

My previous phone was an AT&T Captivate, so not really a 4G phone by any means. I think I'm going to have to resort to walking in, pulling the IMEI from a demo phone and having them use that number to tie to my acct.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eep2378:
Ok let me try to clear up a few things:

1) If you want to make sure your on a provisioned Hspa+ data plan, go to att store or best buy(they always have a demo) and write down the imei. Call and give them that one and they'll get you on the right plan.

2) If you wanna save some money. Give them the imei from the Nexus 4. It's not in their system so it's categorized as a "basic phone". Tell them you want the medianet data plan($15/month with messaging, $10/month UNLIMITED data). The speeds are not throttled. You will get the same Hspa speeds on this plan as you would on the others. Also, keep in mind, the medianet plan uses the wap.cingular APN. Simply delete whatever is there in the proxy field and you're good to go :)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compuw22c:
THE APN RUNDOWN:

WAP.CINGULAR: Up to 7.4mbps, top speed for non-hspa+ provisioned phones. The defaults of this APN causes issues with speed test, however, it can be fixed by removing the proxy and other ansilary settings from the apn settings, leaving apn and name, mainly. THIS APN IS VERY IMPORTANT, BECAUSE IF YOU CAN DEAL WITH THE 7.4MBPS LIMIT, YOU WILL NEVER BE THROTTLED. Let me clarify. I am and have been provisioned for first a 4g hspa, then an LTE plan (giving them an lte phone's imei to register for the plan), and as long as I use WAP.cingular my web interface (OLAM) counter never increases. *data# does show the correct count, however the throttling counter is based on the other APNS only.

Long story short, if you use 12gb on wap.cingular and 4.99gb on PHONE you will NOT be throttled, 12gb on wap.cingular 5.01gb on PHONE, you WILL be throttled. Likewise, if you use 4.99GB on PHONE in the beginning of the month, then switch to wap.cingular for the remainder, you will also NOT be throttled. If you use 5.01GB on PHONE then switch to wap.cingular, you will still be throttled for the remainder of the month.

PHONE: Up to 21mbps, top speed. Counted towards throttling
