[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yeah, hspa+ has good speed but gradually gets itself there. Net10's my plan B, if straight talk ever tanks. Good to know LTE feels responsive.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someotherguy:
I'm sure it is selected. Even deleted stock ones. Have factory resetted since to get them back
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanvalks:
If Straight Talk tanks then Net10 likely will too since they are both owned by tracfone and are essentially the same company. Net10 does the $5 auto renew discount per line but from what I have seen Straight Talk doesn't. I'm currently paying $44.14 after taxes and fees per month per phone for 2 lines unlimited everything (2.5GB data). Beats the $160 per month I was paying with Verizon! I haven't looked back for a second (not even when dealing with the incredibly pool customer service that is Net10/Straight Talk/Tracfone)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I remember I went thru the same situation when I first got my Nexus 4 last year. I typed in the recommended settings from the straight talk site and got nothing. Researched online and noticed I was missing "default,supl,mms" from APN type. I put that in and data started coming thru. Another thing was I had to remember to select Save APN after making my edits. I had a habit of just pressing the back button, thinking that it automatically saved when it actually didn't.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yeah tracfone is the parent company of both of them. The difference between them is that net10 is available from all kinds of stores, whereas straight talk is mostly available thru Walmart. And I use xda as my customer service. LoL.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanvalks:

One last arrow in the dark, is mobile data turned on? In kitkat, I would presume it's under settings>data usage.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someotherguy:
Yup.

Toggled multiple times.

Tried airplane mode.

Checked mobile data.

Checked roaming.

Checked the data monitoring page.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JCreazy:
Did you try the APN settings I posted?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someotherguy:
Yeah.

Tried those.

Tried att.mvno

Tried multiple proxy from all over the web

Tried with and without default, supl

Tried some older ones I found on other posts.

Guess tomorrow I get to call and talk to 50 different straight talk people to try to get it straightened out.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miamidesigner:
How new is your sim? Should be post Sept 13th when they launched it. If the mentioned settings don't work, try the Att.mvno settings (google them), if those settings work then sorry to say but u have a non-lte capable sim.

Good luck!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heroisnotdead:
Please report back, I'd love to know your settings once you get it fixed. I haven't decided on an att MVNO yet. I was ignoring net10 because of the nasty stories. If I can get the price below $40 with those nice LTE speeds, posted above, I'll be happy.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someotherguy:
It's the new Sim. Got it after they announced LTE. Verified serial to be an LTE one.

It was $6.99 on September 30th

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave3000:
i got it to work. LTE worked fine with the settings mentioned here earlier, and with what is on the straight talk website. i.e. this:

APN: tfdata

Port: 80

MMS would not work for me using the settings on their website or what I saw earlier in the thread (sorry if I missed it but I looked through every page). After I broke my sprint contract, I've been flirting with a Lumia 920 while I waited for this phone to be released. So I tried the MMS settings that I used successfully on this, plus some of the other fields i found on this page (http://www.prepaidphonenews.com/2012/09/how-to-setup-straight-talk-data-and-mms.html) because the APN on the N5 has more editable fields. No idea if all these are necessary, but these are the ones I edited and it's working for me.

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS proxy: 66.209.11.33

MMS port: 80

MCC and MNC were already set to 310 and 410, respectively, but pointing it out so readers know they are in my configuration.

Authentication type: PAP

APN type: default,supl,mms (I manually typed this string... no idea if this is necessary but since it was on the linked page above, I went with it)

I hope I've laced this post with enough caveats to assert that I don't really know what I'm talking about, but it is working. I think the discussion in the thread pretty much shows that mileage varies.

A couple of other deets... My SIM is about 6 weeks old and it is LTE capable. I'm getting LTE next to the signal meter and at my present location, speedtest is showing about 10 down, 8 up, ping around 75ms. I also got LTE on the Lumia 920. In some places as high as 30/12 or so.

Hope this info helps someone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someotherguy:
Thanks for confirmation on a working APN.

Mine is still hosed. Have to called them tonight after work. Tried the online chat, they immediately said, Call us and use this PIN when you call in.

I am confirming that the "tfdata" APN setting are working for me. I have data and MMS working. I have an older (> 1 year) ST ATT micro card.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NX5in:
Thanks for the APN settings guys. I have a question, has anyone put in thier sim and seen signal bars or do we have to activate it first? I popped in one of the 4g ST sims in an old samsung handset and it shows bars but none are showing on my Nexus 5. Just wondering if I should see them if the sim is inserted at all or if that only happens after it is activated with ST. Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someotherguy:
After making me Factory reset for the second time and entering the same APN 3 times. I've been told it is my SIM. They are sending me a new one.

I knew it was a SIM / account issue, I put my SIM in bosses phone and had no data, his SIM in mine and had data just fine.

I'll probably get a new SIM get it transferred and still have an account issue is my guess.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] embhorn:
Yeah, I just ordered a new card to see if that fixes my lack of LTE. I'd much rather waste $7 on a card than 3+ hours of my life trying to talk to Straight Talk Customer "Support".
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdubau55:
I have called NET10 support twice. The first time I was very please. The guy fixed my issue in about 20 minutes. Today, the second time, not so much. I told them I was having problems activating my service on my new phone (Nexus 5) and she said "It's shows activated." That was it. I just said ok thank you. I am using the tfdata APN and I am getting MMS and data. Current data is H+, but looking at the AT&T map where I am now doesn't have LTE. I'll check on the way home. My area is spotted with LTE and I'll go through LTE on my way home.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apristel:
Thanks for the info guys....downloading this update and going to get it running... I just activated my SIM... hope it all is legit!!

EDIT

Works perfecto.

Only 1 bar of LTE in my apartment, but i pulled 19.86 down, and 8.27 up.... not too shabby.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdubau55:
Yes. I swear it told me when I did this they were going to send me a new SIM. Never came and bought one, but that screwed it up. I don't think you need a new SIM if the process tells you that. Make sure you aren't near the end of your re-up date. I think that's what threw mine for a loop.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markwebb:
Ok, phone arrived 3 pm and card arrived 645 pm. Could not have planned it any better.

Set up was easy and the instructions on Straight Talk worked; however, they didn't exactly match the settings posted here so will try it.

I only get 1 bar LTE here at house, but speed average @ 10MB and will try it at work tomorrow since I cannot get a VZW signal at work on my other phone but anticipating a strong signal on this Nexus since it is a different carrier, ie. ATT.

Only problem I had was inserting SIM: the supplied tool broke (piece is still sitting in hole) and I had to use a very thin knife to get tray out and now I have a slight scratch/rough area around there, but that is ok: a cover will hide it.

Otherwise, working well!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mojobaggins:
Got my N5 today. Plugged the ST microsim from my N4 and tried the mentioned APN setting, doesn't look like I can get LTE. So, am I forced to buy a new sim card? How did those folks in Canada to get LTE to work? Was their sim card have LTE or were they just playing around with APN settings?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acvice:
EDIT

Can't seem to get LTE on net10. What do you all mean about perhaps getting another SIM that is 'LTE' capable?

N5 | AOSP | Root
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Was your sim using att.mvno for data. I've read elsewhere that it's not provisioned for LTE. My previous sim used att.mvno and when I heard about the newer sims having LTE, I bought a new one, popped it in my phone, and it uses tfdata. Now I just gotta wait til Christmas to test drive the LTE on, hopefully, my shiny new nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jup007:
I think you need new SIM card in US. They only started offering LTE in September or so.

For me, I bought a new AT&T microSIM from ST (the same day as phone) for $7 free shipping, which arrived the same day as phone. Logged into ST management on website. Clicked on Activate Phone or SIM card, select Transfer my Existing Straight Talk Service, put in new SIMs IMEI, select old account to transfer from, start the phone, restart it after a while per instructions, fill in APN, restart once again and LTE shows up.

So, my phone # stays the same, plan stays the same, and I avoided calling their crappy customer support. I call it a win.:D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mojobaggins:
Thanks for all of the info! Since, I don't want to wait, I'll head to a Walmart tomorrow.

edit - darn no Walmarts have the sim card in stock. I guess I'll have to order it from ST.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewt328:
i just activated my st sim card. i attempted to port in my number from tombile prepaid but i got some sort of error saying service would not be available in my area. I then clicked back on my account and it was saying that the sim was not activated yet. I clicked it and started the process to activate it and bought the 45 plan and it gave me a random number. could my number be in the process of porting? or do i just have that new number? and could i be able to port in my tmobile number over the random number it game me?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jup007:
Walmart sells complete activation kit, which I can't find online, but they had lot of them in store (Milpitas, CA). It looks somehow like this: http://stbyop.com/straighttalk/service-pack-gsm.html.

I haven't tested/unpacked it, but according to that link it contains microSIM for both AT&T and T-mobile & $45 coupon and they sell it for $60. So it's a bit more expensive ($15 for SIM instead of $7), but if you want it now, checking local Walmart is totally worth it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma2446:
I have personally bought one of the kits and it Comes with a standard at&t sim card, micro sim for at&t, standard sim for t mobile, micro sim for t mobile, a cdma activation card, and a 30 day service card. That's 4 sim cards all together and a cdma card and they all have there own serial numbers therefore they all can be used or sold Individually. So tenacally for 15 more dollars you gain not only a service card for the month but 4 sim cards and a cdma activation card. Fyi straight talks sells there Sims for 12 bucks including shipping so do the math.... ITS A STEAL...... And u have extra cards to play with :D

APN works fine for LTE

Same as the original post of this thread.

Name: Straight Talk

APN: tfdata

MMS Port: 80

MMSC: http://mms-tf.net

MMS Proxy: mms3.tracfone.com

MMS Port: 80

H vanished and LTE came up.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gzetski:
APN straight from the horse's mouth and a word of caution.

Got this from a CS chat from Straight Talk yesterday.

Name: Straight Talk (or NET10)

APN: att.mvno

Proxy: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com

Port: 80

User name: leave this field blank

Password: leave this field blank

Server: leave this field blank

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS proxy: mms2.tracfone.com

MMS port: 80

This settings work fine, as well as the usual att.mvno with mmsc.cingular

I may be imagining, but MMS seems to send faster with these settings.

Now, a word of caution, this was experienced by 2 people I know, who are very heavy data users. As long as they were on the $45/month, they didn't get any crap over data use. One bought a 1 year, and the other a 6 month. The one with the 6 month got their service disconnected after a month and a half of "excessive usage," the other didn't, but they both got text messages warning of excessive use.

The one with the 6 month was using the phone to view security cameras in his store, so probably got popped for constant streaming.

This all may be purely coincidental, but when the shut you down, you do apparently lose all the airtime, so basically ST keeps your $ for service they won't provide.

ARrrrrgggghhh!

I ordered a new SIM on Tuesday. It still hasn't shipped. So rather than call customer support I figured I'd try the chat help. Here is the transcript:

------------------------------

David has entered the session.

Eric: Hi,

I ordered a new SIM on Nov 5, and the order status is still showing as "Processing". I was just checking to see why it has not shipped yet. My order number is NNNNNN.

Thanks!

David: Hi Eric. Thank you for visiting Straight Talk Wireless.

Eric: Hey.

David: Let me check.

Eric: Great

David: One moment please...

Eric: Certainly

David: This is a 3-day shipping. We calculate receipt estimates by taking the estimated shipping date and adding the time it takes a package to travel from our facilities to your destination address based on the shipping speed you've chosen. Please note that orders placed after 3:00PM EST, will be shipped on the following business day. We process orders for Shipment Monday - Friday and do not ship/fulfill orders on Saturday or Sunday.

David: Thank you for chatting with Straight Talk Wireless. If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact one of our customer care representatives at 1-877-430-2355. For your convenience, our representatives are available Monday-Sunday from 8:00 AM to 11:45 PM EST.

David has exited the session.

You are the only user left in the session.

----------------------------------------

So no answer to my question, and he leaves the chat before I can even say anything!?! #(*@)&$^

They are just as frustrating in chat as they are on the phone.

Update:

Received my new card today. Also found the order and shipping emails in my spam folder. The CS person could have just said "Yes it shipped. Here is your tracking number...". Oh well. I guess that's the cost of cheaper service.

On the bright side, the new card did enable LTE!!! I am getting 18.63 Mbps down / 11.41 Mbps up. Not bad.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jup007:
For what it's worth, my order from October 31 still says In progress. I got it on Tuesday (in CA). Their order status is pretty much useless, as is their customer support, obviously. But chances are good you'll get it today, Monday at the latest.

Switched my service from AT&T to NET 10, byop Nexus 5

A few days ago I switched my cell service from AT&T to NET 10 using my Nexus 5 . Since Net 10 uses AT&T towers on GSM phones I assumed my signal would remain the same and I was right. Switching over was very easy. Simply follow the SIM and activation instructions on the activation package.. Change the APN settings to pick-up NET 10, there's even an app from Google play which shows you exactly what to input.. Last step I did was to make sure my LTE speeds were up to par, to my surprise the Net10 download speed test was by far the fastest I've ever seen on my phone.. 25 mbps download and about 9 upload. I am very happy with my choice to switch saving me a significant amount of money.
