I've seen some AT&T customers complain about terrible speeds and latency when doing speed tests. I too had this issue. Before the fix, I was getting about 20 kbps downstream and 400+ latency. After, I'm getting 6+ mbps and 80-120 latency. I fixed mine by adding a new APN with these settings. To change them, go to SETTINGS -> MORE... -> MOBILE NETWORKS -> ACCESS POINT NAMES. From here, either select the existing one or click the menu key to create a new one. Also, if you create a new one, make sure to select it after you're done making it. (you have to tap the radio to select it because tapping the name will edit it but NOT select it).
The blank ones are blank/unspecified. You probably only need to change APN and APN type (the other shown values were already like this on mine). For APN type, those are commas separating the terms. I posted a link to 3 shared screenshots so you can see what it should look like.

Do you get H+ insted H?? if u dont mind can you check in Settings, about phone and Status. in mobile network type HSPA:10 or HSPA+:15????
Didn't work for me (data gets disabled), however the only APN settings that have worked so far are the stock ones with wap.cingular.com. I have tried numerous other ones to no avail..

Thanks..I honestly didn't think there was a difference between the LTE and non-LTE plans at AT&T. But my dad is in charge of the plan, so maybe I am missing something.
I'm using the same Stock AT&T PTA apn I've used since the Infuse 4g and it works perfect. Stock APN I couldn't even get 20kbps most of the time. Now I can at least get 5.7 (about what I'm used to in my area).

I'm using the pta APN since I came from an LTE phone so my sim is provisioned for it. I usually got about 8-9mbps down in this location when on my sgs3 so if these speeds stick and improve I'm quite happy. Obviously uploads are the biggest hit but not too worried about that

It wouldn't work for me with the default WAP.Cingular APN. As soon as I changed it to the hspa+ one, speed test worked.
For this of you on the pta APN, does your MMS work? If so, do you still have the WAP.Cingular APN in the list (just not checked)? Or is the pta APN the only one listed?
I too have my Sim provisioned for lte, but if I use the pta APN, I get great data speeds, but no MMS. Thanks.

Many thanks for posting this! My internet donwload speeds went from .001 MBPS download to 2.97MBPS. I hate to say this, but it still felt snappy even at .001 MBPS. My Galaxy S2 was so slow to process websites.
solved minus mms......
I get faster speeds with the new APN, but I can't get H+ in areas where is was able to get it with my S3. Anyone have a solution?
thanks for this!
Posted this on another similar thread. Worked for me. It's the Cingular.WAP APN but slightly different.
"Anybody still having issues with att H+ speeds try the APN settings from this link
http://nerdynerdnerdz.com/blog/2011/07/23/att-apn-mms-settings-android/
My speed increased by 600% when I switched to this, from barely 1Mbps to 6+Mbps. I also can run the speed test app now whereas before I could not."

I came across this topic on rootzwiki a while back and it's helped me a few times. Obviously it's for ATT only.

I plan on getting a Tmobile sim card and tossing it in my Vivid, getting the $30 a month plan and using it till I get a different phone.
Any chance I can use 3g or 4g on it? I've heard mixed answers about it being possible as recently Tmobile "flipped their network" or something like that. Just curious if it as ALL possible to get 3g or 4g data on mah vivid. Thanks

In case you still need help, here is what I suggest:
For the unlock, use unlockusa.com to get your code. They're the fastest and most reliable on the market.
For the internet, use the following settings for your APN (Credits: http://htcsource.com/2012/08/how-to-sim-unlock-the-htc-vivid-and-add-t-mobiles-access-point/) :

Enjoy your cool phone !
I hope that helps. It worked for me, as I was having the same issue.
The fix for the staticky ear speaker and mms both lies in the APN. I just went to att and got my micro sim and stuck it in. i was stuck on 2g barely getting 7kb. the phone calls were horrible and the fix is here.
This is essentially the ucle5 (?) modem apn that is bundled in most every att rom.

Hmm...that APN was the default one for me and didn't give good data speeds. There are several other threads on this forum that discuss changing the apn to 'phone' or 'pta' as a fix for slow data speeds. I happen to be on the 'pta' one and find it much faster for data. Also, I thought apn was for data only? Not sure how/why it could affect the speaker static...

i was getting great speeds with it on my gs2. shostock3. 3.5mb this morning on my nexus but in different area.
before i stuck in my gs2 apn, i made a couple of phone calls. nothing but static and they could barely hear me. ran speed test with full h+ bars and was getting 215ms pings and it was only able to run one out of three times. the one time it did... i got 7kb. stuck in the new apn and everything went from zero to hero. i dont know the specifics.. i just know the outcome for me and thought it would translate over to others. maybe not.

You don't have to put the APN Type stuff in there, and the Password is CINGULAR1 but I don't know that it matters. The speedtests using this APN are slower than the pta/phone ones, but I have found that in actual day-to-day use I get better performance out of this one. Sites load faster and the connection is more stable.

I assume that screenshot is from your gs2? Speedtests with the Cingular APN are slower; the best I've gotten with it are around 3Mbps up/1 down with higher latency. Like I said, though, otherwise my performance with the Cingular APN is more consistent.
I have a verizon moto x and I purchased the $35 att prepaid plan. No matter what APN I try I can't get data to work. Can anyone help me out with this?

Thought I remember reading somewhere that Verizon Moto X was SIM unlocked for international use only. Sounds like the kind of thing Verizon would do.
Not to sound like a douche, but this has been discussed many many times, and the answer is: Older Verizon handsets were "international" meaning they had international bands but wouldn't work on US networks. That's since changed, as now all Verizon phones that have GSM capabilities are unlocked for US networks and international GSM too.
The issue the OP is having is not based on the network working at all, it's that his data specifically won't connect. OP, I'd double check all the possible APN's you could find online and see if changing them would work. Remember, H+ is all you'll get on a VZW Moto X that's on ATT's network.

I'm happy with hspa+ but I can't get the APN settings to save.
It could ultimately be an issue with the way VZW "modified" the firmware. When on VZW's network, APN's aren't editable at all. I'm assuming you're able to edit them as you're saying that the APN's won't save, but sounds like it's giving you the option to edit them.
Try these various APN's
Code:
APN: phone

mms proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net

I've tried these but it won't save
I haven't cancelled my verizon line yet. Would that affect anything. Do I have to do a factory reset before using another carriers Sim?
EDIT:
May try using something like an app to modify the APNs, such as this > https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tweakker
That's honestly the only thing I know, if the phone won't let you add them from the system settings.
You shouldn't have to FR the phone just to use another SIM. If that were the case, then using the phone globally wouldn't work right as the APN's wouldn't sync up. I don't think that having the line active on VZW would hurt it either because ultimately, the device needs the SIM to even register on a CDMA network, let alone LTE.
There's bound to be a way to save the APN's properly. If it's allowing you to add them, then there should be a way to save them. Does it give you the 3-dot menu button? Or a button at the bottom to save or anything?

Yes there's the 3 dots then save. When I click save it goes to the main APN screen and there is no APN profiles there.
Just to confirm, you're typing a name for the APN right? Make sure that under mobile networks, the network type is set as LTE/GSM (or Global, I forget the option), and that roaming is allowed, and then try the APN. I wish I had my ST SIM active so I could test this with you.

It will work for anyone using a Nexus 6. This APN is for phones that support VoLTE. It should work with most smart phones released after the Galaxy S4. I don't know what phone you're using so...
Most of AOSP roms don't have the nxtgenphone APN for ATT. Though the regular "phone" APN seems working fine. I am not sure nxtgenphone APN is supposed to be fast data besides VoLte stuff...
I'm not sure. Ive been meaning to do some speed tests but I do like the call quality of voLTE with other people on AT&T, so I always change it.
So what APNs are you all keeping on the phone? Which one do you have selected? Thanks!
