I'm running the overcome jupiter rom on my p1000 with an AT&T sim. I've tried the jk3, jpz, and i9000 modems and none seem to allow me to use data or voice. I'm a little new to this and just wondering what else I should try. Thanks for the help.
Can the international tab receive an at&t signal?
Im on the jp4 modem now and im getting edge but no 3g, one step closer but its too slow...any ideas?
You need to reflash the at&t modem.bin file...

What apn setting are you using?
It should be wap.cingular.com
From the searching I've done it seems like I have the right apn settings.

Is your wireless mode set to auto?
Yes it is.
I have tried every one of the modems in the modem thread, ive reflashed overcome multiple times with both the at&t modem the international modems listed in the install guide and I still cant get my tab to work on 3g....sometimes i get edge but never 3g....what am i doing wrong?
and im using my at&t sim card(that works flawlessly in my captivate) in an international tab with the gt-p1000 model number and the white back
To use at&t 3g signal you need to be on the 1900mhz band, and 850mhz band. Check the built - in capabilities of your tab (google).
What are the first few lines in the APN settings please.
For the wireless mode, what happens if you set it to wcdma only (no signal, I'm guessing).
Is packet data checked?

packet data is checked and from my understanding the international tab(model gt-p1000) is capable of at&t 3g
and my APN settings are:

and you are correct about the network mode
Ok, this is the last thing I know to try.
On the dialpad *#2263#
tap [2]WCDMA BAND
Tap[3]WDCMA 1900
tap Select WDCMA _W1900 only
An astresk should be in the bracket now.
Tap the menu button, select back
Tap menu button, select end
You are back at the dialpad.
Did the E (EDGE) change to 3G or H?
I flashed JMA on my SGH-I987 and it now reads GT-P1000. My APN is set to:Broadband, and I have no username set per the original settings I had before I flashed. It wouldn't connect before I set that post flash. Now My 3G status icon switches between 3G and H but connects.
hope this helps.

Are you using the sim that came with the tab, or one borrowed from another phpne? Because the "Broadband" apn is for the sim that came with the tab. Wap.cingular is for borrowed sim cards.
Im using the one that came with the tab. thanks for the update about the difference!

Alright, this is the deal, I bought a Motorola XT701 from Amazon, international unlocked version which is supposed to work with HSDPA 850 MHz 3G radio, which is the one that Kolbi ICE (Costa Rican carrier) uses for their GSM 3G data same as AT&T, however, the phone doesn't seem to be recognizing the 3G network, it just displaying the "E" for EDGE at the top, I have seeing the G (GPRS) a couple of times, but I have never been able to get the 3G network to be recognized, this is what I have done:
* Went to Kolbi and activated the 3G data for my phone, confirmed they support this phone.
* After noticing that my phone was not connecting to the 3G network, I took out my SIM and stick it in a iphone 3G and worked like a charm it was super fast on the 3G network, I put it back in my phone and just connects to the EDGE network.
* Entered in the phone *#*#4636#*#*/ phone information and it says that: GPRS service: Connected, Network type: EDGE
* For the option to Set preferred network type: GSM auto (PRL) is the only option that seems to work right
* When I press the menu button under "phone information" screen I get one option that says "Select radio band" when I select this option I get a window poping up saying "Set GSM/UMTS band, I get many different options but the "Automatic" option is the only one that lets me select, all the other options (including USA Band) I get set [xxx Band] Unsuccessful
* I made sure that the option for "Use only 2G networks" is NOT checked
* Made sure APN settings are the right ones (Name: ice3g, APN: kolbi3g, MCC: 712 (preset), MNC: 01 (preset))
My phone is currently running 2.1 eclair and is rooted.
I DO NOT WHAT ELSE can it be done, if I take my SIM card and put it in another 3G phone works just fine that tells me that the problem is not with my provider, so I have the following questions:
How can I check which band is my phone using for data?
Is there a way to make my phone use the 850 MHz data 3G instead of others?
PLEASE HELP, I love the phone but I want to use the 3G data, if not possible I will have to get an iphone (not my first option).
thank you,
Marco
You're positive that you didn't buy the 1700/2100 mhz model?
Sent from my Milestone XT720 using XDA App
The only thing I can think of if your phone is indeed not a 1700/2100 mhz model is to google "APN settings" for your particular provider. I know even unlocking my fathers Motorola Milestone (locked on Telus in Canada), my Rogers sim could not connect to 3G until I went into Mobile Networks->Access Point Names and manually wrote in the APN settings.

Thanks for the reply, I triple check the APN settings with my provider and they are pretty basic just: Name: ice3g, APN: kolbi3g, MCC: 712 (preset), MNC: 01 (preset), nothing else.....but I have an update, today for some reason the phone displayed the "H" for HSPA for about 10 min and the phone worked great for those 10 min, then.... it went back to the "E"...no idea of what is going on here.... I did not change any settings... just happened... could it be software related?
so guys i did i little checking and i found this for the xt701 3g problem on 850 network go to this http://modmymobile.com/forums/4005997-post58.html and they will explain everything you need to make it work
So i bought the Note. Wife gave me skyrocket for xmas, put the sim in the note, and put the exact apn from skyrocket into the note (manually of course). Internet now is spotty at best, sometoimes speed test will say no connection, at best it'll show DL speed 1.5MB/sec....any ideas? Ive tried the wap.cingular APN, phone APN, all with very inconsistant results. I heard rumor that the new ptn apn is new and has 'kinks' in it?? Bottom Q is : which APN setting should i use!!??
thx
I had an infuse 4g and I used both the Phone APN for my internet and the wap.cingular APN for my MMS. Make sure your fast dormancy type *#*#9900#*#* using the dialer. A menu will pop open and near the bottom there will be an option to turn fast dormancy off.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412384
I'll link the topic that I found it in it does a better job of explaining things
just wonder what the ptn apn means. the skyrocket is an LTE phone and uses the pta apn. I am using the Pta apn with no problems but just remember that some areas fall back on gsm service so check to see if network mode is set to auto or wcdma. switch to auto allows the phone to shift to 3g when HSPA is not availble.
For the Note, just use the Phone and wap.cingular APN's. PTA is for LTE only.
Hi
I'm in the UK and on the T-Mobile network, I get a better signal in my area (H+) when I choose the network "T-Mobile" rather than "T-Mobile/Orange", the problem I have is that it seems to default to "T-Mobile/Orange" and I have to manually change the network via settings/mobile networks.
Is there anyway for it to choose T-Mobile by default and stay on it?
Kind Regards
Are you selecting network manually. If so have you checked apn settungs to see if you can enter tmobiles details only.
Not sure with them merging there cell towers if you can only select 1 though

Hi Thanks for the reply, I'm not sure about the checking apn settings bit, I've gone into "edit access point" but haven't a clue what I'm looking at!
I'm on T-Mobile aswell and I only have the below fields filled in:
Name: web'n'walk
APN: general.t-mobile.uk
MCC: 234
MNC: 30
APN type: internet
I get about 1.8mb download speed on a H+ signal, although I did hit 4mb once when I was in Central London. My GNote rarely switches over to the Orange signal although I have seen it happen.
Mine is the following:
Name: T-Mobile Internet
APN: general.t-mobile.uk
MCC: 234
MNC: 30
APN type: internet+mms
I get 3.70Mbps Down 0.54Mbps up whilst on T-mobile and 0.81Mbps Down 0.35Mbps up whilst on T-Mobile/Orange! Big difference.
So I recently bought a new Galaxy Note 3 T-mobile variant on craigslist to use on my AT&T plan. The phone is perfect, I love it! The only problem is that I can't seem to connect to LTE after I unlocked it. I have already rooted the phone using CF Auto-root, and then I turned to unlocking it. I heard that the "Region Lock Away" app by chainfire removed the region lock as well as unlocked the sim, as long as you reboot later. So thats what I tried first rather then pay for an unlock code.
Now when I bought the Note 3, it didn't include the sim card from T-mobile. So I did the whole process of rooting and unlocking under my real att sim card that I was using with my Nokia lumia 920 (I know it was time to upgrade). I went to an ATT retail store, and I ended up talking to a service rep and explained that I wanted to use my Galaxy note 3 on their network, and that I would be unlocking it when I got home. She convinced me to give them the IMEI number on the back of the phone to "provision the network to my phone".
Well after the Region Lock Away app did it's thing, I no longer had the sim card ask for an unlock code and I was able to text and make calls. So I figure that I was fully unlocked. But my data wasn't working, so after a bit of research here at XDA I noticed that I needed to change my apn settings. So i used these as suggested by another post:
NAME: ATT Phone
APN: phone
MMSC: http[colon]//mmsc.mobile.att[dot]net <-- XDA thinks I am posting a url!
MMS proxy: proxy.mobile.att[dot]net
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN type: default,mms,supl,hipri
After setting these, and then using them, I can't find any data connection at all. Can anyone shed some insight as to what may be the problem?
BTW: the legacy wap.cingular apn settings are working for me but I only get about 2 Mb/s max. Which is not what I want from an LTE phone obviously.
The only thing I noticed you did not mention is "authentication type", which needs to be manually set to None. I come to the note 3 from an AT&T galaxy s4. I was using a t-mobile custom rom on it the whole time, every time I reset the ROM I had to manually add APN settings, authentication type "none" always had to be selected along with the rest of the entries. If you don't manually set this it will read "not set".

Settings are right as I compared them with my phone. Only thing I can think of is the rep didn't configure your account right and LTE is not enabled. You can log onto your att.com and check to see if your sim has LTE activated. You would see something like DataPro 3GB for Smartphone 4G LTE or whatever amount of data checked on your line. If not your LTE is not active it won't work no matter what APN settings you use.
Edit; this is what authentication type should read instead of default "not set".

Thanks for the replies!! Well I went in to the att store, and spoke with the same person who switched my IMEI number into the system. Looks like two things happened, first my data plan was switched from a 3GB LTE data to a media plan which was causing me to recieve text messages complaining about my data usage and stating $200 charges. To remedy this we had to make a call to the dreaded at&t customer service center where my Rep. was put on hold for about 30 min (ridiculous...) and also the charges were removed. I also had her switch the IMEI to the Galaxy S3 that I previously used before I got the sudden death ****. So after all that, my data has finally connected and im getting about 7MB down which is still only HSPA+. So the only thing I have left to try is maybe some other APN settings (suggestions here????) or maybe try a new simcard and use the unlock code I have.

Searching for the AT&T APN setting led me to this thread.
After setting all the APN settings as others, I was still getting pretty slow connection speed.
Then, I switched the Bearer to "LTE" type and voila! I started getting the full LTE speed!

You can only do this if you know your in a LTE supported area otherwise you will not get any data if your in a 4g or H+ area with the bearer set to LTE only.

These are my new working APN settings. 4G LTE completely working on AT&T

I find that no matter what settings I use on the APN (working ones, I mean), if I have Wifi on, I lose LTE. As soon as I disable Wifi, even if I don't move the phone, LTE comes back. Not that it matters, I just like seeing that little 4G LTE icon.
My guess is that your WiFi is set to take priority over mobile data. There might be a setting to change this though. For example in the WiFi settings there is a toggle that allows your phone to automatically switch between WiFi and mobile data, to have a seamless browsing experience.
I'm on lollipop running the Echoe ROM on my sm-n900t and I use the download booster to boost my speeds by using both together.
I was messing around trying to get LTE to work again and I am hoping it is simply an APN fix. Can someone give me the correct APN settings for Verizon?

stock jellybean?
think it's unlikely an apn issue
my full apn file made with APN Backup & Restore
apn app needs to be moved to /system/pri-app if you want to restore my apns-20140822120801.xml (remove .txt from file name)

Just restored your apns but it only picks up 3G
open dialer

is LTE/CDMA/EvDo selected?
Just checked and LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) was what it was on. LTE/CDMA auto (PRL) is the closest.
It seems that every time the APN will reset to EHRPD - Verizon Internet. If I try to select the LTE internet option it doesn't even pick up a data signal, and then goes back to EHRPD.
im using CM11 M9 and i have my network type set to
CDMA+LTE/EvDo

a few notes for me: whenever i try to switch to CDMA/EvDo auto (3g) it doesnt connect to data until i turn on wifi or set airplane mode for at least 30 minutes then re-enable the radio. if the connection drops for whatever reason i have to redo this step so im better off leaving LTE on all the time because its way more reliable than 3g which is really weird in my opinion and im not sure if its the rom that causes the problem since i installed cm11 as soon as i got this phone
So should I try to set that APN and then put it in airplane mode for an hour or so?
