[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] co.ag.2005:
I'm using the PTA (LTE) apn and my data and MMS work fine. Did you double check your MMSC and proxy settings?

oh, and I got > 12Mbps down this morning :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mario24601:
If you have grandfathered ATT unlimited plan, worth it to change to an LTE plan? They should let you change right? Right now I have it set up as 'blackberry data unlimited plan" - thats what the ATT rep did once I gave my IMEI. I just removed the proxy from APN and seeing about 1-3 mbs down...not very fast but seems ok. What do I need to do, call and change to LTE plan, but I need a IMEI LTE device right? Then change APN? Not sure where to get that....any recommendations? What are you guys with grandfather unlimited plans doing?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] co.ag.2005:
I think (it's been a little while since I've been on that grandfathered unlimited plan) but they should be able to turn your unlimited plan into the LTE unlimited plan (give them an IMEI of an LTE phone) and you should be set.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mario24601:
Thanks. Its $30 a mo so seems like a good plan, thought of going to ST but would not save much I think. Anyone have a IMEI they can lend me :) ? Please PM if do :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] co.ag.2005:
no problem. Also, keep in mind that I think they either throttle you or charge extra if you go over 5GB on the LTE unlimited plan.

http://www.macrumors.com/2012/09/12...tomers-get-5gb-on-lte-before-being-throttled/

EDIT: regarding the IMEI, just go into a best buy or AT&T store where they have LTE phones on display and jot down that IMEI... then call 611 and set it up!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mario24601:
I rarely go over 5gb so should be ok.

Im kind of far from best buy, wanted to make the change today but guess will have to wait :(

changing to LTE wont cause any issues with text or mms right?

Once I have LTE plan, what setting do I need? Seems like so many different combinations floating around here.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] facetubespam:
Thanks!

I know the Atrix 4G only went up to HSPA+14.4, so now with the Nexus 4, do you see an increase in network speed compared to the Atrix using the same sim essentially?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flintdragon:
Question about using the 'phone' APN. I can currently use this APN and am getting 6down/1up. Am I on the HSPA+ plan? Or can possibly go faster?

Also, when I went to the AT&T store to get the microsim, the rep first brought out a "regular" microsim but then asked me if my phone has NFC. I said yes and he went back to get one that provides additional "security when you use Isis". He said something like that. What is that all about?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mario24601:
Re: IMEI can I use the same IMEI as someone else on AT&T...lets say my brother has a optimus g on ATT, can I just use that IMEI to set up my N4 too?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] co.ag.2005:
see above in quotes...

also, I think you can use someone elses IMEI and it will work fine. I think they use this just to see what phone you are using (in order to assign the proper/correct data plan). they don't actually activate your service on that phone... that's all driving by your SIMs serial number (AFAIK... someone else might be able to chime in on this).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mario24601:
Thanks. Anyone know for sure that using someone else's IMEI for my N4 wont be a problem?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarpenter85:
There is no speed difference between the 'pta' (LTE 4g plan) and 'phone' (HSPA+ 4g plan) APNs on HSPA+ devices. You are getting the best speed you can get in your area.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monchy36:
alright... i have now to 4G SIM and my plan is iphone data plan, do i need to call ATT to change it to 4G LTE data plan so i can see better speed?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsekh501:
There are difference between the "'pta" APN and the "cingular" APN... People have been saying that only on the "pta" APN you can get HSPA+ speed, but I have the complete opposite experience....

I switched between the two a few times and run a few tests today. This is the result

http://imgur.com/GeceY

For unknown reason, I cannot run Speedtest.net test on my phone, it just stopped after getting the ping. So I use this internet speed test app instead. The faster one is the "cingular" APN...

FYI, I switched to AT&T and bought a GS3 with them. So my SIM card is indeed a "4G" SIM card
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex72:
It looks too good to be true. Did you try browser test on heavy sites like Verge or Web flash test sites like www.speakeasy.net

I believe Wap Cingular APN allow speeds up to 7 Mbits down let alone 16 Mbits. Now I don't know what to think until some other reports.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] co.ag.2005:
"pta" and "phone" apns you see floating around here give you hspa+ speeds, WAP.cingular is "slower" (7Mbps like above says) and speed test app doesn't work with that APN.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsekh501:
The problem with speedtest.net has nothing to do with APN. speedtest.net doesn't work with either of the APNs I mentioned above on my Nexus 4 with 4.2.1.

And did you actually read what I wrote? The cingular APN gave me much higher speed. The conclusion is that, none of the APN is faster than another. They are just different APN which works differently at different locations.

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

I tried loading image heavy websites and both APN loaded very quickly. Without having two devices side by side it's hard to compare.

I will try the speakeasy.net test when I get back to work tomorrow. I had poor reception at home.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monchy36:
My wife has a GS3 can I use her imei to change my data to LTE? We both under the same plan...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex72:
I just noticed that while on call I don't have internet connection. I'm using APN "phone" for HSPA+. Anybody else? What is the solution for this problem?

Update; It works now. It looks like false alarm.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] co.ag.2005:
Well I had the exact opposite results of you.... Speed test works fine with pta and phone APN, not at all with WAP.Cingular. I was just reporting what works for me.... I've been getting 10-12 Mbps down with pta APN... Don't know what I get with WAP.Cingular BC I can't get a speed test... Go with what work whats best for you...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ranguvar:
That depends on your carrier.

Nexus 4 only supports LTE on Band 4, AWS -- AT&T uses it in a few locations in the US, a lot of Canadian carriers use it, and T-Mobile will next year.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamnarada:
Speedtest will work with the WAP.Cingular.com APN....You just have to remove the proxy entry from the APN
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkamikaze:
actually it works for me when i remove cingulargprs.com as the server.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iboj007:

This works for me and you don't even have to change anything in that phone settings menu accessible through the dialer.

Now, if your speeds still stink, then it's a crappy network area on at&t's end. Good luck!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jvanlew:
For all of you asking about the AT&T LTE APNs, here is a thread on rootzwiki that shows the most complete list I've been able to find. I have all five of these on my Nexus 4 and I currently have the LTE APN selected. I did have an LTE phone (i.e. LTE plan) before I got the N4. Hopefully these will help someone looking for APNs.

Use default APN then remove proxy. You do have to give att imei from nexus. They will recognize as blackberry for some reason. You will keep your unlimited GF plan. This is what I did.

I have the nexus 4 from the play store and i am on the AT&T network and for some reason I can not send video mms's.

It says, "Message size limit reached," You can't add this video to your message."

I can send and receive pictures and i can receive videos and forward the videos i receive but i cant send one myself.

Also, this is the very irritating part of sending messages.. If I try and send any kind of text or mms when someone sent me a text, my text will not go through. It will just sit there and say "sending." I have to hold down on my message and delete it and then try and send it again and cross my fingers that they are not sending me another message.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DionysusDreams:
Hello everyone! Noob here :victory:

I've just been opened up to the world of rooting, and I'm a bit scared to be honest :p

I've had my GS3 for about 4 months now? I recently started playing games on my GS3 using emulators and I was getting frustrated with the bad touch controls so I went looking for a controller of some sort. I came across the GameKlip which is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. It requires your phone to be rooted to use an application, so I went researching and I'm kind of lost now, haha.

I vaguely understand the process after reading up a bit about it and watching a few YouTube videos. I don't really know where to start though. For example, the YouTube videos I watched are valid for GS3 v4.1.1, but not the baseband version I have (19300XXDLID). Does this matter? Or does the baseband have to match? I was taking a look at this guide, would it be a good place to start/follow? Is it current for v4.1.1, baseband 19300XXDLID? I just don't want to muck something up and end up bricking my phone somehow, heh.

Thanks for reading!

EDIT: Or would I be better using the toolkit rather than the guide?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Password1234:
Follow the guide you mentioned first in your post mate, using cf-root. You should be good to go then. And follow the instructions carefully. Rooting is very easy with Odin. Enjoy

I'm just in the process of making a NANDroid backup now. I was wondering how long this usually takes? It's been a good 10 minutes now, maybe more and it's at 'Backing up data...' Is that normal?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IamIrene:
Just wait, it backup all your ROM, apps and data

Me normally backup around 30 minutes lol

Else another option, use titanium backup

Backup system + user app data
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePraetor:
wow...backup until 30 minutes.so long.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luger77:
Dont forget to do also an EFS backup.

Thats very very important!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DionysusDreams:
It failed to backup and I think the issue is that I have too many apps. So I've backed up my system + user apps with Titanium then I'll go and delete them all and try again with the NANDroid backup. Hopefully it'll work then. (I also have to backup to the internal SD as I don't have another one, this wouldn't be causing the problem would it?)

An EFS backup? How would I go about doing that? :o

EDIT: I've backed up my EFS using this tool.

EDIT2: And now I've just finished backing up using NANDroid, woo :)

The petition itself will not have any effect directly on Google. They are a multi-billion dollar company and coud not care less that a minuscule amount of their customers are upset over their incompetence in this matter.

But...this petition will help attract media attention. Larry and Sergei absolutely will not tolerate any public comparisons between Google and Apple. In short, this petition will encourage the tech media to report something as follows:

Apple: sells out due to unbelievable demand for their product. Despite crushing loads on their web store on launch day, they make good on their delivery commitments.

Google: sells out due to incompetence in supply chain, incompetence in running a web store, incompetence in product fulfillment, incompetence in communication with their valuable customers.

Google has a reputation for reliability. This mess is news-worthy. We just need to make a bit more noise.

Petition signed. I encourage you to do the same.

PS to Google: after you sent me my order confirmation, I sold my phone. Now I don't have a phone at all and it's making my work very difficult. Now, you are offering me free shipping to compensate for a 3 week delay? Maybe offer a $200 Play Store credit and I will consider it. Oh, and **** you.

[Nexus 4 General] Ravynmagi:
Google pretty much did this same thing with the Nexus 7 launch. They were really slow shipping, there was a lack of communication. People were going nuts on XDA and other forums wondering why their pre-orders were still in limbo while people they didn't pre-order were able to walk into Staples and get the tablet before them.

Outside of those that pre-ordered, I don't think the rest of the world even noticed. It didn't hurt Google.

And we are going through the same thing again. Google has apparently made zero effort to improve (other than remove the pre-order process, which I don't see how that helped at all). They still didn't hire enough people to get things shipped out timely, CSRs are still uninformed about what is going on and just guessing or telling customers what they want to hear, and their website is still woefully slow at updating information on orders. Google seems to have accepted this as okay procedure. And sadly they have us by the nut sack.
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
well this time we want the outside world to know that Google s8cks at shipping and controlling how many devices they sell. Maybe this forces them to come up with something better the next time around. Once comparisons start showing up websites with Apple's service they definitely need to take notice considering that's whom they are competing with.
