Has anyone got working Apn Settings for t-mobile g1 users without a data plan, but with an unlimited mms/sms plan?
you don't have to change your apn settings for sms. However, mms is no longer available for G1's by changing the apn settings. T-Mobile caught wind and fixed that.

I am using samsung captivate on t-mobile. I have the data plan that I used on my iphone before (not the 3g). I tried several apn settings and none seems to work. Do I need to change any settings or is there a apn setting that works for captivates??
Thanks!!

I've just upgraded from 2.2, and now I can't seem to get 3G working with AT&T. Does anybody have any suggestions? I've tried fiddling with the Settings but nothing seems to work. Help is appreciated, thanks.
In the About Device, the Mobile network type listed is HSDPA, but the Mobile network state is Disconnected.
Have you checked your APN settings? Also what's your baseband version showing in 'About device'?
Please use WCDMA mode
Go to Settings, Wireless & Network, Mobile Networks, Access Point names and make sure you have one called Broadband (assuming you are on the ATT monthly data only plan)
If you dont, create a new APN and name it Broadband & make the APN Broadband as well. Just leave the other options and save it & select it.
I think by default it comes up with the ATT wap.cingular APN which doesnt work with the Tab Data plan.
Flash the bell modem then set the apn to get data and phone working after flashing stock 2.3.3?

Thank you so much! This worked! Just did this and restarted.
Anyone successfully connect to the old cingular apn? It won't let me get a 3G data connection (I get signal bars with an exclamation point on the icon). If I force 2G, it will fully connect to edge. Then if I select 3G as my preferred network type the signal icon switches to 3g then H and then back to the exclamation point all very quickly. I have tried a couple apn settings without any luck. Since I'm getting service, but it won't give me data, is there something baked in the phone not allowing me to connect? I can put the sim in my old phone (optimus g) and it connects fine.
I can connect to the normal "nxtgenphone" apn but I don't want to right now.
any help or thoughts on this would be appreciated
isnt cingular the old tmobile? cingular doesnt exist anymore from what i understand, so you cant expect to connect to it.
Cingular is ATT now.

I can connect to the att apns, but my download speed is a whopping 0.5 Mbps. Connecting to cingular apn, which I can do with my old phone, at least gets me back into 3g speeds.
Are you on an lte provisioned account? If so the older apn's are locked out. Att did this because of the ability to bypass the throttle restrictions when on an unlimited plan. As far as the apn that works for 2g, that's probably the mms network.

Check the attached screenshot for the APN settings, even though its called ATT. Its worth double checking. Otherwise, two things should happen - find your old phone and get them to reprovision your account to work with the old APN, or troubleshoot with them and find out why you're getting such **** data speeds.

Are you on an older unlimited Nation plan or Family talk plan with unlimited data? If so, your speeds are being throttled after surpassing 3gb. Those download rates are tell tale. AT&T has blocked APNS other than NXTGENPHONE for those using a capable LTE device for the reasons mentioned above . If you were to change the APN to regular 3g ATTPhone or Cingular WAP. Your account is auto provisioned to reduce speeds.
Yeah throttling is the issue. Just strange I can go through cingular with a different lte capable phone.

Using a Family Share Plan I had connected via the default AT&T APN. I believe it was AT&T "phone" APN. However, I recently switched to my company provides AT&T Corporate Mobile Share Plan, and I had to switch my APN to AT&T "PTA" APN in order to get LTE to work. This is what I'm currently using on my Nexus 6. AT&T's NXTGENPHONE APN did work for me when I was running the 5.0 Developer Preview on my Nexus 5 on the AT&T Corporate Plan. However I lost the settings for it. Does anyone have a listing of the APN settings for it? I would like to compare speed tests.
Nevermind, got it from source

I have a Moto X pure edition on t-mobile simple choice plan. I'm in London and have not received any texts or emails notifying me that I am abroad and can now use t-mobiles free texting and data or paid plans. I tried a few things, rebooting, reset APN settings and changing apn settings to ipv4 and using epc.tmobile.com as the address. Nothing so far. I can look up the networks and see T-mobile but can't register. My phone's clock also didn't change, had to do it manually.
Need help. I'll try and call t-mobile soon.
This is from my memory with a Nexus 4, but should be the same basic idea. Try going into Settings, Networks, Cellular Networks, let it load then select T-Mobile's local partner. Might take some trial and error to get the right one if there are multiple local carriers around, but shouldn't take more than a couple minutes.
Tried that already on the phone with the T-mobile rep. none of it worked always the same error "This connection is not available at this time. Please try again later."
Not sure if this will help, but you do have roaming enabled right? I remember with my Nexus 4, when I traveled internationally, I had to enable roaming for my texts and data to work.

I had the same problem while travelling to the Caribbean. I tried all the settings (even dialed #766 to enable Data Roaming). I never got it to work even after opening tickets with T-Mobile. I always had Cell service to make calls , but there was an exclamation on the bar(s) icon indicating there was an issue with data.
Hopefully you can get it working.
I haven't had ANY service at all. No texting no voice call no data. Nothing. Phone shows that there's emergency calls only. Was working fine at home and in DC. I have cellular data on and roaming and have tried messing the the APN settings some. Didn't work so I reset to default.
Problem rectified. Mods, feel free to delete post.
Hi all,
We've had some data/mms/APN issues about a month ago on my gal's Note 3 with AT&T; it did a system update and all of sudden stopped working with mobile data. Turns out it reset the APN, so she stopped in AT&T, they changed some APN settings and data was back up and running. MMS was still having issues though, until I noticed that part was missing in the APN type settings. I added it and all was fine for awhile.
This morning, her phone updated and now there's no mobile data again. I haven't gotten hands on with the phone yet, but I thought maybe it wiped her fixed APN entry. She's checked the APN settings and they match what's on AT&T's support page (copied below for reference).
The only abnormality in the situation is that her service plan still has "iphone" data. She had an iPhone previously, I got her a Galaxy S4 off contract and we just swapped the SIM into the Galaxy; I then did the same, getting her a Note 3 and we just swapped the SIM again (I do some research work with phone companies, extra phones can be a perk!). She'd get occasional text messages from AT&T saying she needed to switch her data plan, but we ignored them in fear that doing so would lose her grandfathered unlimited data. Those texts stopped months ago and everything's been working fine the entire time so I didn't think that's an issue, but wanted to add it here just in case.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
