Correct 4G APN - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone tell me what the correct 4G APN is? I see people calling themselves idiots all over the board for using wrong APN settings and getting caught. I read so many different settings and I don't know which one is the correct one. Can someone just tell me once in this message what I should use??? Everyine seems to have different settings.
Thanks

I'd like to know as well. Also when I upgraded to the Galaxy S2 no one told me I needed a "4G data plan". The rep said there wasn't such a thing and kept me on my regular data plan. Unlimited at $30 month. So I'm not even sure there is a 4G plan. I don't see one on the site either. I think people don't know what they're talking about. These are the settings I have on my note now:
Name: AT&T WAP
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
Username <not set> - Leave this alone
Password: <not set> - Leave this alone
Server: <not set> - Leave this alone
MMSC: http:/mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: <not set> - Leave this alone
APN type: internet + mms

I've got an unlimited grandfathered data plan and have been using this APN,
Name: ATT US HSDPA
APN phone
MCC 310
MNC 410
APN type: Internet+MMS
Everything else blank.
I have not received an update yet and probably won't install it until this is all straightened out. I was told originally by AT&T I could use any unlocked phone. There's no doubt that the Note of phone and not a tablet. They just don't want do anything for their customers that would cause them to update their database. Kind of ridiculous, maybe they don't care if they lose houses customers even though we pay them a lot of money every month. I hope all of this is straightened out soon before people start changing to new providers.

HPSA+ APN

I have a GT-N7000. I have a metered 4g Smartphone plan.
I have tried the above. Get a connection error. I also have tried a different APN type, Internet only. Ditto. The wap.cingular APN does work. (I did power off and on after changing the APN just in case that might be necessary).
Is there anything else I should be doing for the so-called 4g APN to work? (I realize the Note is HSPA+ which really is not 4g even though AT&T calls it that).

I use
apn: pta
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS Port: 80
mcc:310
mnc:410
apn type: internet+ mms
everything else blank. These are the settings from my skyrocket. I consistently get higher speeds than using the phone apn. Tested it just now and i got 6Mbps down and 1Mbs up on pta and half that on the phone apn.

I tried your PTA APN and it doesn't work at all for me whereas the phone one does. Very strange, what name did you use? You just had the settings.

Name is just pta

I went in to change my APN settings on my Note, and there were none!
I added several suggested and none will save.
Any ideas?

For the Phone and ptu settings you need an imei # the system recognize as 4G+...otherwise need the Wap settings.
To make settings stick u do know you need to click save from menu right?

the pta apn is for the LTE phones. if at&t will put an ime for an L TE phone into your account then that apn is the one you could use otherwise i dont think it will work.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Yep pta is for LTE imei's. I don't thnk its any faster than the 'phone' apn tho

with either of the two, I get no data (ie, using "phone" for the apn name). I've got the 2gb tiered data plan, and it won't work. Not sure which account to utilize.

You'd have to use wap.cingular as apn.
Wireless.cingular.com as proxy

Mission accomplished!
OK, I can use the phone APN now. Wrote about it on my blog. Bottom line, talk to tech support. They need to enter an IMEI number from another device (I used the Infuse) to provision you on the right SOC. While I've heard the one for unlimited is HSDPPB, since I'm not grandfathered on unlimited, but am just a poor metered slob, my SOC is HSSMT7. Remains to be seen if more speed. I'll try tomorrow from work. From where I live in the hills, while the view is great, data speed sux regardless of APN.

Question: No DATA on US ATT Unlocked Eurospec

Just got my Note straight from the UK, unlocked. Been on the phone with ATT about 6 times. I can send and recieve calls, texts - but no DATA. They can't seem to figure out why it will not pick up the ATT Data Network. Sim, EIN all linked, but no joy.
I am a noob, sorry - any ideas. I hate to send the phone back.
Any ideas ?
Update - Funk2641's response below (no APN was entered) - fixed it the issue.
Still, ATT would not give me a 4G smartphone plan - even though the H+ shows up next to the clock ? Initial Speedtests look like the same as my Infuse, Atrix and 4S.
Thanks everybody (Funk2641) for your help ! I hope this thread saves some agony for many as this phone is hitting the states. Don't know if I will tread in Eurospec for the Nexus, as I will want to hold that one in my hand first.
Also, this is a great phone - speed, battery life and the screen is fantastic !

Thx.
please keep posted.....I'll be on Att Friday
I will follow this thread since I will also switch from T-mobile to AT&T.
I too have the same issues. I actually used a few different apns and got edge to work poorly, I sighed and told myself ICS would fix it all up better and to just enjoy the extra battery life of 2g now, God I hope a get this cleared up

Technically, the Note is just a big SGS2. There's no reason on the phone side you should be having a problem using the Cingular APN. I'm using a ISGS2 and a UK 3G Tab 10.1 on AT&T with no problem. It's either something with the provisioning of your account or your Note may not have the right bands (Asian?). The latter is unlikely if you ordered it from the UK. Try reseting the APN to default under network settings. Also, if you're on a legit 4G plan there's a specific APN that you can find on the ASGS2 forum.
Here is another APN that works, I had the same issue
For APN settings use the name ATT and then for APN the word phone. Leave everything else blank-what is needed will get filled in automatically. Click the APN when you finish adding it and the radio button turns green to indicate it is working. The advantage to this APN setting is it gives you clear access and data speeds are not limited by ATT.
Those apns didn't work and I too a would doubt my phone bring the Asian version,.this version of gingerbread has the option to suspend my data network from holding down the power button maybe the software isn't...... I don't know I have no clue but my apns are normal but when's search they don't come up
In the list automatically so something a wrong
and I came from a hspa+ phone so my plan is already to go, I called to double check
to op, glad you got it straightened out...who did you order from and how much?

What plans are you guys, please?
(Anyone on month to month $50 unlimited?
There are two different APNs to use depending on what data plan you're on. If you're using a MediaNet or Data for non-Smartphones plan (3G) you need to use the Cingular APN. If you're on a legit 4G plan you need to use the special APN for 4G phones. If you reverse it, you'll get no data. For those of you on the 4G plan, go in to the APN settings. When you press menu, there's a reset to default option. It should pull the 4G settings down automatically. If you're on a 3G plan don't do this and instead manually enter the below settings. If you do this correctly you should get data. If you have a quad-band phone and still can't get data it's something with your account settings and not the h/w.

[AT&T APN]Static Speaker and MMS Fix

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.

not receiving some SMS & MMS on T-Mobile

Have you guys had any problems like this? I don't receive some text messages & group messages. It has been a problem that I haven't noticed until recently. People have told me they've sent a message & I never received them. They wonder why I don't text back. I have tried everything. I keep changing radios & factory resets along with checking apn's. Can it be a defective device or? Thanks in advance

This was happening to me constantly no matter what I did to the APN. I found another thread on this topic and one of the recommendations was to delete all other APN's but fast.t-mobile.com. I haven't missed a text since. That was about a month ago. I'm on LMY47M stock rooted unencrypted.

I'm currently battling T-Mobile with this issue myself. My phone is completely stock, I've been having the issue since around March when 5.1 dropped. I've never had this problem in 3 years, until 5.1. At times I get messages hours or days later, sometimes I don't get them at all. Sometimes I get them multiple times. I contacted TMo, they said all of my messages are being transmitted over WiFi, which isn't the case since I use the unlimited 4G everywhere I go, I don't even turn my WiFi on. So their answer was to replace my phone, since that wasn't right. I get the replacement N6, and ask them if the messages are being transmitted over WiFi; Yep! So then I realize that TMo has no clue what's going on. The next day after getting the replacement device, I get 12 messages in the same second from 4 different people. Some of them were sent 6 hours earlier in the day. I let T-Mobile know this isn't the fix, they send me to get a new SIM card.
It's been 2 days now on the new SIM, 3 days on the new N6. So far, we're doing good, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

I just changed mine like yours our and rebooted. Works!

[Q] Cant send/receive MMS unless wifi is disabled - Stock and fully updated S6

no custom roms, updated to the last update recently released by Tmobile (Issue existed before the install of the update)
data is always enabled and I connect to wifi at home and work. If connected to wifi pictures will not send/receive and I have to disable wifi to make them go.
I don't care that they use data, though itd be nice to send/receive mms via wifi, i just want to be able to get pictures without manually shutting off wifi -every time- someone sends me a picture
any tips? this isn't normal for this phone is it? I could swear it wasn't doing this a month ago
Did you try going into stock recovery and doing a factory reset

I'm trying not to do a reset because I don't want to go through the backup process for everything, it takes a while to get my phone setup the way I like it, thats really a last resort option if no one has any ideas
but that means this is not normal? Your phone can send/receive images when connected to wifi normally?
Yeah I'm good

Are you using the stock MMS app?
if you have textra, turn the setting for TMobile wifi calling fix on.

I'll have to try this! Although, I don't use wifi calling...
Also, I see a setting for MMS over wifi; does TMobile/MetroPCS support this?
But I have noticed the same issue, if I have WiFi on, sometimes my MMS dont go through, but if I turn wifi off, I dont reconnect to data without toggling airplane mode.
5.1.1, stock, factory reset already.

I'm almost 99% positive that it has nothing to do with the actual messaging app, but rather the way the phone decides to send things/cut off data while wifi is on.
guys this is all APN settings. I will post a quick solution

MMS port in our APN settings on the S6 should be set to 80, i just checked stock settings have no port set for them, everything else is right, so if you copy all settings and create a new apn make sure it looks like this

followed your instructions and setup a new APN with duplicate settings, changing port to 80. yielded no change

No cigar.

Send yourself an MMS while on Wifi. Once you receive it, you should be good to go.
Just letting you know this isn't just an S6 issue. I had this problem on my Nexus 5, my S6, and my M9.

Yep that's why I said, send yourself an MMS first.. once it's received it solves that problem.. for multiple phones

that was how tmobile had me testing the various attempted fixes they ran me through, picture was never able to go through
Was this ever resolved?
Does sending an MMS from the phone in question to itself somehow magically fix the problem or am I misunderstanding?
If not, other question is why does the stock messaging app have no issue whether WiFi is on or not/??
