[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johmama:
Does that mean I can't get HSPA+ speeds with GoPhone? If I'm stuck at 3G with prepaid, then I'll just switch to non-contract post-paid for 30 more bucks a month and get 2 more gigs of data and a way faster connection. I was assuming I could get HSPA+ with prepaid. Plus, my phone keeps claiming I'm getting HSPA+, why does it think I am when I'm not?

As always, thanks for helping a newbie out.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
I get HSPA+15 speeds while actively using data, it shows HSPA+10 when idle. And be careful using Speedtest as it uses 25 to 50 MB of data for each test and you can quickly go over your limit using it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popug:
Yes, although they may tell you no at first. I literally just did this yesterday after having T-Mobile for two days and getting zero service at home as well. I walked in and they weren't too helpful at first but then ended up being very helpful by the end. She originally said that I'd need to sign a contract for two years and had a 14 days period where I could cancel w/o penalty but after that I was locked in for 2 years.

Once I told her to go ahead with it so I could try out their service, she started to process the sale and something came up on her screen saying that I wouldn't be locked into the contract due to bringing my own device. Seeing as she didn't originally know this and then found out during the transaction, I'm going to assume the same could/would happen with you. I have that exact plan and have been happy with AT&T so far.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cor-master:
Alright you sound like the guy to ask, I'm having an issue that makes no sense at all. I had a vivid before I got my n4, so I was already on the lte data plan, and I just straight copied my apn over from it, which pretty much is the same as the apn in this thread. Everything worked fine from January until today. Voxer and slacker will not work on that apn now. They'll work fine on the default slow apn but they won't work on the 4G apn, in fact I cant get onto their respective websites with that apn either, it's as if at&t blocked them. You got any idea what the issue is? I've been messing with my phone all day, and no dice :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeoffieDelAndroid:
Thank you TS! :highfive:

My speeds were pitiful before I read this post
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exlipse:
That is strange, I've not heard of specific services being blocked although I wouldn't put it past anyone. If you had the Vivid before, you're probably using the PTA APN, try editing that APN and changing it from PTA to Phone and seeing how that works out for you. I don't know why it would make a difference, but it's worth a try.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarkozy:
Unfortunately the ATT rep I spoke to was EXTREMELY rude in pushing for a 2 year or 1 year contract. He wouldn't even go forward with running my credit since he was repeatedly stating my phone "will not work" on the network.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exlipse:
Yea, you were probably talking to a Sales rep and they literally can't do anything other than process sales. I couldn't even get them to open my line with a N4. Your best bet for a new line with the N4 is to go in to a store. They'll be able to hand you the SIM and set everything up on the spot, no contract.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarkozy:
I went to a brand new corporate store in 29501. Should I specifically ask for a supervisor?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exlipse:
That was at a store? Um, yea, I would. I know they can do it, because that's exactly how I opened my line. I walked in said, 'I have a phone already, I just need a new account with a SIM' and they asked for the IMEI and set it up. I made sure it was on a non-lte 4g data plan and was all set.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarkozy:
Yep. I said nearly that nearly to the word, and got the runaround for 5 minutes about it not being possible, then another 20 minutes of bickering and the guy wouldn't budge. This was within 5 minutes of the store opening and I was the only one in there.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exlipse:
He may be vying for a sale, or just not know any better. I would find someone that's not a brand new employee, or at least not that guy.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exlipse:
Alright! It looks like there is something going on in your area. Several people today have chatted in saying that specific sites were being blocked. It looks to be affecting all the APNs except wap.cingular. So this doesn't have anything to do with your specific phone or settings it looks like.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knight-Rider:
I'm in a LTE are Tucson Arizona coming off a Note 2 which I get 4G LTE, I've tried 7 different APN settings and LTE will not work. I've done the so called LTE hack, I downgraded to 4.2.1 selected LTE in the phone info section by pressing *#4696#*#*, also tried LTE/GSM, LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) and nothing works. AT&T uses a different LTE band that the N4 will never pick up, the LTE hack only works on T-Mobile not AT&T we need to stop wasting our time AT&T is shady.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exlipse:
The N4 only has an LTE chip on the 700 band, AT&T does own some spectrum there, but it's pretty sparse. Additionally the chip hasn't been approved by the FCC in this phone from the last I checked. So it's not supposed to work at all, if you can get LTE by turning the switch on and using the right APN then more power to you. If you had the Note 2 data plan, then you would want to use the PTA APN. If it works great, if not oh well. It is after all only an HSPA+ phone.

Thank You!

This worked perfectly for me. Just got my Nexus 4 today and did the "hack" right away. I am on AT&T, coming from a HTC OneX.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeastKiller450:
I've tried this but I am getting no data on my phone. I can still make phone calls and send texts but I can recieve no data to my phone. "Data Enabled" is checked and I talked to AT&T but they said they can't do anything because it's not an AT&T phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exlipse:
If you're not getting any data with the Phone APN, you're probably on the wrong data plan. I would just chat in again on the site and try to get someone with half a brain to help you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolfrey:
Yeah, I called twice because every time I did this setup it broke my data too. Both times I called the rep said I should be good to go, and that hspa+ was enabled, and they had the right phone model for me. I finally went into a store, and they confirmed it wasn't hspa+. Two taps on their iPad, now my data works perfectly. Thanks exlipse!!!

Help

So right now I own an ATT galaxy s3 (LTE device) and I am still on contract. Will putting my sim into a nexus 4 have them charge me with an early termination fee? Will putting my sim into the nexus 4 automatically work and make my phone use data at HSPA+ and make calls and texts? will it show up different on my att bill? Will I need to go to the store to set it up? Is the only step I need to do is to put in my micro sim? Thanks , sorry im an idiot.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exlipse:
It's alright! Ask you need to do is put your SIM in and update the apn in your phone to the one in the first post. It won't effect your billing or contact

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
Hi Exlipse!

Your info and help in this thread had been nothing short of awesome! Question for you. I just signed up for a brand new line of AT&T postpaid service on my N4. When I go into the MyAT&T app, my data plan shows as "DataPro 5GB for Smartphones 4G". I would assume this means HSPA+ is enabled on my account, correct? I just want to verify because I've only seen 5mbps download speeds once or twice. Normally it's 2.5 - 3.

Also, is there any way to get visual voicemail enabled on a non-LTE data plan? The two reps I've talked to said they were unable to add it to my account because it's not an LTE data plan.

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exlipse:
Yes, you should be on HSPA+ with that plan, not all of the 4G plans actually say it though so it's a bit confusing. I get 3-6mbps down on mine. The only reason to have the 5GB plan over the 3GB is if you need hotspot/ tethering. Also, what they told you about LTE and VVM is legit. For whatever reason, they're expanding VVM into some other service, so it's LTE only. To get an LTE plan, you would have to provide an AT&T LTE IMEI (android based).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
Thanks for the info! The only reason I'm on 5GB instead of 3GB is because my monthly data usage hovers around 4GB. haha
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exlipse:
Right, well that's what I meant. See the 3GB plan is $30 and $10 per GB after the fact. So if you use 5GB on it it would run you $50, which is what the 5GB plan costs. So if you use 3.9GB on the 3GB you'll only pay $40 instead of shelling out the $50 every month.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
Ah... that's a great point. I'll keep an eye on my data usage over the next few billing cycles and see if that'll work. Thanks for the tip!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
Hey Exlipse,

One other question for you. I just changed my APN name from "phone" to "broadband" and got a huge jump in speed test numbers. Odds there any downside to using broadband permanently as opposed to phone?

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
The APN Name setting has absolutely no function, you can change it to Daffy Duck if you want as it doesn't do anything. It was probably just a coincidence that you got a jump in speedtest numbers after changing it as speedtests will fluctuate depending upon how much traffic is on your tower at any given moment. Or are you talking about you changed APN Type which is an entirely different setting?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoL1m1tZ:
I think he means APN Type, like phone or pta, but he changed it to broadband,
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exlipse:
That's interesting, the broadband apn is what allows tethering, so you only have it available on the 5GB plan or mobile share. If it works, then there's no downside unless you downgrade your plan.

He's talking about the actual APN not the description field.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
Yeah I have the 5GB plan so it makes sense. The speed jump was quite shocking. Went from averaging 3mbps to averaging 6mbps with bursts as high as 8.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drunknbass:
Same prob with mine. Was using the sim from my HTC 8x for the last 2 months no problem, and today the network was completely dead. Called AT&T and they said the imei was invalid and put me on the 3g plan because the system detected it as a 3g phone. Speeds went from 8 ish mbps to 1.5.

Then they tell me the same story about we cant guarantee speeds on unlocked phones. bla bla bla. cancelled and going to tmobile. Don't have time for these ppl trying to explain(making up bull****) the issue to me, when I know exactly what it is.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
Yeah, AT&T really has no interest in servicing people who bring their own devices, sadly. If only they weren't the best GSM network in the country in terms of coverage. :(

I hope T-Mobile works for you. It doesn't work for me. Their coverage in my metro area is fantastic. Problem is, like so many other places in the country, you go 10 miles outside town and you're solid 2G. In NC, you can easily go 100 miles between HSPA+ areas without even trying.

Another problem for me is that T-Mobile puts a hard cap of 50 MB of data roaming on their unlimited data plan. I travel frequently to WV and eastern KY, where T-Mobile has no service at all. Out there my phone would roam on AT&T but the 50 MB hard cap was worthless. After 50 MB, your data is shut off for the rest of your billing cycle until you get back into T-Mobile coverage and they don't even give you so much as the option to purchase more. Plus AT&T throttles roaming traffic to 2G speeds. My N4 would show it connected to HSPA, but my speed tests never got higher than 150kbps/sec.

So if you live in a metro area and don't travel much, T-Mobile will probably work great. You certainly can't beat the price. But since a good 75% of their coverage area is still 2G and they have the roaming caps, I just couldn't make it work. I tried. haha
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] New Optimus:
You realize that data roaming cap and speed is att's doing right?

I agree with you on the limited coverage tmo has in rural areas, and its too bad that it wont work for you. In cases like that it might be better to go with an AT&T reseller.

I just recently Got my Note 2 a few days ago. The only complaint i really have is the volume control when using the headphone jack, I never use headphones, but i do use the jack to play music through my car stereo. When i unplug it and plug it in the volume drops to half (probably for hearing safety). Is there a way to override or disable this?

Thanks Guys I will look into them. Much appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Xdogg:
Can you post how you set the values maybe a screen shot? I can't seem figure out exactly what to set.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ProximaC:
Car Audio profile using Headset Plugged state with No Mic option. (that's how it knows the difference between my headphones, and my car's auxiliary cord)

That enables Car Mode which sets the current Media Volume to a variable, then sets the Media Volume to 15.

Exit task sets it back to the value in the variable, which is what it was before I plugged in the Aux cable.

Ok. I foolishly enabled encryption on my i711 and after putting in the password, the volumes unlock and the system starts. The problem is that if the screen goes off for any reason, the phone reboots. Tried all sorts of things to correct and decided I no longer wanted the phone encrypted. There is no way back. Ok, so I thought I could do a factory reset... No dice. The phone reboots and all is still encrypted and there.

Next I tried clockworkmod but couldn't do ANYTHING there because the encrypted volumes aren't mountable. I couldn't factory reset, install a new rom, etc.

Next I went to ODIN and tried to repartition. No luck there either. I flashed clockworkmod again for good measure and even tried Nand Erase All.

After this I booted into the phone and tried to repartition... Now I have a phone that displays the lovely CM10 boot screen but never gets passed that. I can still get into recovery.

Any thoughts on how to undo the encryption and reflash a rom?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RPelham:
I have some very bad news for you.... Encryption is a one way street. Once encrypted the only way back is to flash stock via fastboot.

I can't even start to explain how to use fastboot as I have never been in a situation where I have needed it.

recoveries lose all access on encrypted devices so this is the only way.

Here is some links to get you started... Please do research before you begin the process and make sure you've obtained the appropriate files. I will take no responsibility for bricking your device.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
I've been looking since last night but it seems I have something new as a problem...

I just (3 days ago) upgraded my Omega ROM to v40. All seemed fine - I did as normal but in v35, my last Omega there wasn't a Full Wipe option. I chose not to wipe and everything went as per usual with Omega. I reinstalled my extras (6 x 5 icons, Loud phone hack, Increasing ring phone, Note2 Keybd) and was back to normal.

Except, now my apps will not update.

I found out the hard way. I had a problem with Play Store - open it and it would flash briefly then close. Tried all I knew of but nothing worked so, logic said, Omega v40 is different enough I need a wipe and that why they put it in there as a choice this time. (I checked the Omega thread and couldn't see anything relevant but I was in the pub at the time and may not have been as thorough as I should have been)

I had a TB backup and Nandroid on my ExtSD from 2 days back and an EFS so I ran the install again and chose Full Wipe - again everything went well... until I tried to download TB so I could restore all my apps and data. Play Store opened and stayed Open (yaaaay!) and TB acts like it is downloading but nothing comes through - it just sits until it times out on an error.

I tried several apps and none would DL but then AuWeather DL'd just fine. I went back to TB - no go.Nor for Google+, Flipboard, Cool Reader, Pandora Radio, Memory Boost - why the hell AuWeather worked I don't know...

After much frustration I Restored my Nandroid and got back to where I was (Omega v35) but still I couldn't DL or update for TB. At least Play Store stays open though. I tried running the v40 update again, installing the Default, just in case, (& I have just finished DL'ing v41) but the DL/Update problem persists.

Now on:

AP – I9300XXEMA2

CP – I9300BUELK1

CSC – I9300LBEMA1

RF cal – 2012.6.28

HW Rev – MP 1.100

Any ideas? If I can't DL TB once I have flashed, I can't get my data back so a wipe isn't really an option until I fix the DL issues.
