I kept thinking I had the same problem all day yesterday. Then I remembered that I had unchecked data enabling on my phone the other day! Didn't want to accidentally rack up data usage. New to all of this android phone world. (settings/more/data enabled)

To the folks with new activation issues:

I ported to ST from Verizon on 11/30. Did it on line and just followed the instructions. I was up in less than 40 minutes! I was shocked. I had called ST and Verizon to verify account numbers and which password was needed (billing). I was prepared to have no phone for a day or more.

For the throttle bound:

Howard Forums has a lot of posts about ST and these issues. Many complaints about customer service and resolving issues. It made me wary, but I'm not a streamer, so am giving it a whirl.

By the way, the ST free "overnight" shipping was a joke. Ordered the sim and minutes bundle shortly after the 3pm cutoff on 11/23. Figured processing would be Monday, arrival, Tuesday. No tracking info was sent until Tuesday for Wed delivery. I waited all day to sign for it. Looked outside as it was getting dark. A package had been left but it was only the sim. They didn't send the minutes card. FedEx robo call late Wednesday said I needed to be home for a delivery on Thurs. Card arrived Thursday and I did have to sign for it. PITA.

go into the APN settings and get rid of the first Proxy listing (leave the MMS proxy) and then test again.

This fixed my issues I was having. Thanks! Speedtest and tapatalk now work!

Its not bs! I use to have straight talk and was throttled few days after going over 100mb. Go to Howard forum.com to learn more

That would seem then that Tmobile phone is not compatible with AT&T's 3G.

You could buy the Tmobile ST SIM instead and use it with the Tmobile phone and take advantage..

---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

AT&T doesn't have HSPA+ 42mbs that I know of, only Tmobile. AT&T is HSPA+ 21mbs.

---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

This setting "APN: phone" does not work on ST. It does not connect data.

I doubt you're able to send or receive MMS with those setting either.

---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 PM ----------

This APN actually connects data.. Interesting, gonna test speeds.

EDIT: My data was throttled at 240k~, opened a ticket on facebook. Get a reply within 15mins, 30mins later Jude fixed something on my account and getting 6/1mbs again. But "WAP cingular" doesn't connect data now... Using "att.mvno" again...
[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:
How can we get AT&T HSPA+21?
[Nexus 4 General] mjpado:
Just moved my StraightTalk account from CDMA phone lg l55c to an AT&T SIM. Doing very well with the removal of proxy getting between 3-5mbps. That is sweet. Thanks to everyone who posted the faster settings. I will go thru and give you a thank you on your meter.
[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:
What app is that
[Nexus 4 General] nibrwr:
You need to be in a supported location. Check AT&T's web for a city list
[Nexus 4 General] crazycd1:
I have tried ever APN I have found for straight talk with an AT&T sim and have yet to get MMS working. I get calls and data works fine. Anyone else not get it? I have a nexus 4 with the byod at&t sim. I am not sure what to try next besides manybe call them, is there a chance they need to do something on their end?
[Nexus 4 General] nibrwr:
Use ST's APN settings, but separate MMSC and MMSC port into another APN.
[Nexus 4 General] crazycd1:
Thats what I keep going back to and still no luck. I have all but the data proxy in there, and the mmsc down is in a second apn.
[Nexus 4 General] pottersam:
Getting 15mb/s speedtest every test inside my house on ST Tmo. Loving this! (Central coast CA)
[Nexus 4 General] :
Consolidate it to one apn instead of two. Once you do that, go to APN type and use: default,supl,mms,hipri - see if that works.
[Nexus 4 General] marty331:
Did you try the settings I posted a day or two ago? My mms works great.
[Nexus 4 General] ml3000:
So.. Every since getting the nexus 4. I have never gotten HSPA+. Anyone else having this issue? I think I had it for the first few min but not after that. I have att straight talk.
[Nexus 4 General] :
The phone stays on 3G until you start pulling down data to conserve battery. Once you're loading something you should see it jump up to HSPA+
[Nexus 4 General] easyxtarget:
How much data do you get with straight talk tmobile before they throttle?
[Nexus 4 General] Cwebb03:
Getting the same thing bro. Trying to find out why, I put in all the usual settings too.

Also, switching from Sprint to ST was the best decision I ever did. With my Evo 3D I would get ~.1 mbps, now I get 5-6 mbps!!! And it also doesn't drain the battery like the Sprint 3G. I would drop 1% a minute whenever I had 3G on regardless of if the screen was on or not
[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:
I say like 3GBs
[Nexus 4 General] xameius:
Mine stays on H all the time. Only when I was on my T-Mobile Monthly4G plan did it revert to 3G as part of fast dormancy. But maybe my area only has fast dormancy on T-Mobile.
[Nexus 4 General] defconoi:
Used a Sim cutter and cut my straight talk Sim to micro working out great here so far :) gonna try out speeds tomorrow sand report back
[Nexus 4 General] strra:
These are my APN settings on AT&T Straight Talk. I get ~2.5mbps with H when I'm in town. MMS works perfect.
[Nexus 4 General] :
For anyone who accidentally doesn't port their number and instead ends up with another number I have this to say; If you complain and get a supervisor on the line, they will eventually de-activate the number and begin a port for you. You have to be pretty overbearing about it, but I was able to get them to remove the number from my sim card, and add my existing number onto it.

I'm not sure why they wouldn't do it in the first place, they were telling me to buy another sim card, and I'm not waiting anymore.

Hopefully it all goes well. I'm hoping it does anyways, but that was a pretty horrible experience. I'd likely go to T-Mobile's value plans if this falls through. :\
[Nexus 4 General] defconoi:
I too am not seeing h+, wonder if we gotta call customer service and have them reprovision our accounts
[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:
I'm always on H+ and never on 3G
[Nexus 4 General] ml3000:
sounds like this might be an issue with a lot of people. I just put a brand new straight talk Sim in my phone and I still only get H. New Sim didn't help
[Nexus 4 General] defconoi:
Looks like stock rom doesn't show h+ but does it about phone status. Changed APN type to

default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hipri and shut phone down and booted back up, tripled my speed
[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:
I dont think you're supposed to get 3G with At&t. Only with T-Mobile.
[Nexus 4 General] Thuneau:
I have ATT Straight Talk service with standard APN settings except for the first proxy and I'm getting 6Mbs/1Mbs service in my house in Lancaster PA. My Comcast broadband over WiFi is a little better - about 14Mbs/4Mbs. I'm perfectly happy with this cellular speed. I barely ever stream video to my phone, and even then I'm usually on some sort of WiFi connection.
[Nexus 4 General] RealiZms:
Found out my phone shipped yesterday so I ordered my ATT micro sim from ST yesterday as well. It was on sale! The sim was only 9.99 so my bundle was about 5 bucks cheaper than I expected. Free next day air as well!
[Nexus 4 General] Uh60m Pilot:
Agreed that's what I have noticed as well. Only showing H on stock however phone status says HSPAP +15.

Yes. Conditional voicemail works fine with ST on AT&T.

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

People claim the T-Mobile ST plan actually has a 5 GB cap if not higher. And it offers unlimited voice.
[Nexus 4 General] crazycd1:
Well guys thanks for the help. Tried all the suggestions and what I ended up finding was a spot in gosms pro settings to use manual APN settings for mmsc. Put in the normal straight talk settings there and I was able to send and receive MMS today! Might delete them from there to see if it was really the fix. Might just be a fluke but was only change I made before it started working.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahmed_Mans95:
Hello,

This is my first post on this forum and I just got my note 10.1 2 days ago. Anyways, I am planning on getting a screen protector so my question is, how do you clean your screen? And would using the screen protector interfere with touch functions and the s-pen?

Thanks in advance.

-Ahmed
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robert542:
A screen protector won't effect the S-pen functionality other than the way it feels. I personally don't like using a screen protector with the S-pen but I don't want to risk scratching my screen. With a screen protector the S-pen drags on the screen rather than glide like it does on bare glass.

Sent from my EVO LTE
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuangd:
I'm not sure that you can find this in your country, but there is a kind of screen protector that can make you feel like writing on a paper,

I think the anti-glare one will do the trick, it has a little bit more rough texture than the crystal clear one.

It will make you feel more better when writing.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Senrir:
Spigen utlra-optics, makes the writing in the note much better actually :) - with a bit of friction like normal writing
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahmed_Mans95:
Mmmm alright thanks.

How about cleaning the screen from fingerprints and stuff?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samir_a:
You can use any lcd cleaner for cleaning the screen or buy some lcd cleaning wipes that should just fine, use special fabric used for lcd cleaning but incase you cannot find one use any cotton cloth which is soft should be okay
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahmed_Mans95:
Alright used the one I had for my laptop and it cleaned the screen :D

One question though, the liquid that came with it can be used right? It won't do any damage since it's a touch screen?

PS: Sorry if my questions are noob-ish, I'm new to tablets.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samir_a:
No it should but just do not apply the liquid on the screen rather spray it on the cloth
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahmed_Mans95:
Awesome, that's exactly what I did :D

Thanks again for the help everyone.

I don't understand what you mean. Samsung makes their own mhl adapter for this phone. I would say you could start there. It's made for the phone.

Try to charge to 100 % and unplug. Then go to dialer and dial *#0228#. You get a battery status screen. Tap quick start.

You'll notice a sharp dip in battery level.

Now the phone has discovered the real battery charge and will start reporting the correct level. You can now Charge fully and you're good to go. :)

You need to do this only once after a rom flash.

[Galaxy S III General] onesolo:
Sorry, but until you guys don't tell us what kind of Network mode (data) are you on, GSM or WCDMA or GSM/WCDMA (auto), this is a bit hard to see the whole picture. Also it would be nice to tell us if Power Saving is turn on or not (specially if CPU Power Saving is turned ON or OFF).

For example, if I'm on GSM (2G) I can have a nice battery life, but if I change to WCDMA (3G) or GSM/WCDMA, then the battery drain is more quick... and if I use data instead of wifi, the battery won't stand a chance... if I can get a 1h to 2h of screen is almost a miracle with data turn on... and even with wifi on...

Also, CPU at full power seems to drain a lot. Yesterday I made a test, 2G, Data and Wifi Off, Power Saving ON, between 2am and 8am I got only 2% of drain... no way I can get those if CPU Power Saving is off, maybe 8~10% of drain at night...

When I got this phone I flashed right away a JB rom, so I don't know how was battery life with ICS, but I think in general, 4.1.2 is better than 4.1.
