Trying to get my friends phone working on Straight Talk. So far, I found the APN settings but when I choose to add a new APN, enter the settings, and choose save... my APN list is still blank. Even after serveral reboots (I've read that sometimes that will make the new APN appear) it still does not show up.
I'm running CyanogenMod 10.0 with a fresh install after clearing all partitions and doing a factory reset. I've unlocked the phone with the app in the android market called 'Galaxy S Unlock'... I've tried everything I've read on the subject (and even had to re-flash from soft bricks)... What am I missing?
EDIT: I should note... after unlocking, my T-Mobile card worked without even editing APNs.
SOLVED: See my last post on this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37664537&postcount=9)

First off does the phone work for phone calls and text messages on StraightTalk? Secondly when you find APN settings in the phone is there any list at all? Clearly the phone is unlocked since you got it to work on T-Mobile so it's not that.
Also I'm curious where did this StraightTalk sim come from? Did it come out of a StraightTalk phone or was it ordered off their website?
Thanks for the reply... appreciate the help/direction.
Nothing appears in the APN list. It doesn't work for StraightTalk at all... no calls, text or anything. I'm guessing the SIM came with a StraightTalk phone but I'll have to ask my friend to be sure.

There's the problem. A sim out of a straight talk phone will not work. He will have to order one from their website and have it activated.
I'm assuming that is it then. This sort of thing makes me CRAZY! I will buy a SIM from the site (this friend of mine is past the age of online buying)... thank you for your help... I'll post how this goes, for future Android newbs like myself.

Keep in mind that I could be very wrong but I am on StraightTalk myself and have never had any issues with the sim I ordered. And considering that you had no troubles using the phone with your sim then I have to assume that's the case.
If anyone has any input on a SIM card from a phone package not working on a different phone, please let me know. It is about $20 after tax and shipping to get a SIM. We are thinking of just going the prepaid ATT route instead.

Well with StraightTalk they lock the sim card to the phone it comes with. So even if you had two phones from them you wouldn't be able to just trade out the sim card like you can with ATT or T-Mobile. Now if you get one of the sims off their site those will work in any ATT or unlocked phone.

After making sure you have a working modem (ugkg3 works great for me) you'll want to check and make sure you haven't lost your IMEI. It happens sometimes when you flash custom ROMs and that will prevent you from getting any service.

no cell coverage on straight talk with cyanogenmod
I have a galaxy s2 i727 with the cyanogenmod 10.1.2. I am a caveman newby (over 50) and i am not able to get more then 1 bar on the cell coverage and not able to make calls. Does the cyanogenmod effect cell coverage? should i use different apn settings? the wifi works perfectly well and i have received some texts. I live in nor. Cal and i believe straight talk is using att lines.
any help would be awesome!

The old one is the att.mvno APN but I deleted it so if u need that one you will have to search....
I would also search/ read about modems and what one may work good for your area. There are numerous threads (some stickied here) about modems. Try the APN first though to rule it out. After you make the new APN save it, select it, and reboot.....
Edit: I see you also have an s2 not a captivate so don't flash anything from here....

Also the APN will not prevent you from getting signal and receiving phone calls. So if you can't even receive or male calls you need to look into modems for your s2.
And a little more specifically in regards to the last post the two different apns depend on when you purchased a sim card from them. If you got one in the last year or so it will likely be the tfdata. If older it'll be att.mvno

What wasn't fair was when I lost my data and no one at ST could tell me why!! I had to read way more than I wanted to...From other posts around the web on the subject led me to believe the change was more to do with the 4g/lte towers. Seemed like at some point some users were forced to change to the new apn because they lost even 3g data using the old one.
Some have also posted about when traveling through certain areas, they had to change just the MMSC/MMS proxy back and forth between old and new to keep receiving mms.:silly:

Hi everyone, I flashed different ROMs for a couple of weeks, and finally decide to settle down with OC 2.3.3, the July 15th latest one. However, the same problem occurred, which is with a Tmo Modem in the tab, I have great signal, EDGE data, and no phone function. With JK3, I got nothing, which is the main reason I switched back to Froyo at first.
I am a ATT user, holding a Tmo GT. I didn't find any fimilar threads, and in fact, I think this is a question needs precise answers.
Thanks in advance!
Updated on #4
UPDATE: I find the signal sometimes appeared and give me GPRS... So weird... I even reflash the rom again, not help. So any other paople could help me?

You can use the t-mobile modem, and you will only get EDGE. You can use a vibrant modem and you can get voice and EDGE.
BUT YOU WILL NEVER GET 3G.
There are probably a five hundred posts on this.
And it will never matter which rom you use. It is only due to hardware limitations, as I explained to you elsewhere.
Thanks for the help, but you misunderstood. I know the edge and voice stuff, just the modem didnt work on my tab.
Since I absolutely want gingerbread this time, I finally figure this out, I went to wireless settings and select GSM only, instead of autoselect. NOW I can FINALLY make calls and get edge instead of gprs. I will keep tracked to see if this method could solve the problem eventually.
People see alot of similar threads and they forgot to care about simple problems because they thought it was old, which in fact isnt. Still thank this forum for bringing me all the great things!

It is usually the simple things that cause us problems! And you wouldn't have gotten any reply if I didn't care about your problem.
Why can't you switch to a t-mobile sim card so you can enjoy the 3g?
Do u mean if I switch to tmobile I could get 3g and voice? I am managing a family plan right now and my wife is waiting for iphone 5, but if that is the situation, I might consider switching... ao attractive...

From my understanding TMO only provide 3G data plan for tab. No voice plan. Am i right rangercaptain? You did explain to me last time in other treat that only certain region receive the voice plan.

You are 100% right.
T-mobile tabs in the USA get voice or 3g using the switch.
In a few other countries t-mobile tabs get voice and 3g, no switch needed.

Yes, sort of.
You would have to install the Rotohammer modem switch.
Mode #1 = voice, sms, and EDGE speed data.
Mode#2 = 3g data only.
Thank you for that info rangercaptain. You just add more knowledge to me.

I've had it with Sprint. Slow Internet, incompetent phone staff. I currently have the Motorola Photon on Sprint and am very happy with signal strength, call quality, battery life and reliability, which are the most important to me.
I did some research and and decided to go with an AT&T phone with Straight Talk AT&T Sim card.
I was going to wait for the iPhone 5 announcement, but I already know I won't pay $800+ for it out of contract and I dislike the move away from Google services.
I got my Atrix HD yesterday and my Straight Talk SIM today...(Otterbox Commuter too).
I set it up with all the Straight Talk APN settings and was happy with voice, but data was a bit clunky and the Speed Test & YouTube apps were not working.
I modified the APN settings:
From: PROXY: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
To: PROXY: 66.209.11.33
Result:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Coming from Sprint where I was getting 3-8mbps on "4G" and 200-600kbps on 3G I am EXTREMELY pleased.
It seems the ATRIX HD has a less noise cancelling than my Photon as even moving my hand around on the phone can by heard by the caller.
I tried, really tried to use the stock apps (Homescreen, Dialer, Messaging)...I lasted 2 hours. I went to Nova, Dialer One & Handcent.
I hope activity picks up on the forum and I'm sure I'll be posting regularly...for awhile at least.
Just an update...
I was having trouble sending MMS and I called Straight Talk. They took their time 'checking' my account and had me read through the APN settings. I mis-typed a word and MMS was fixed after correcting it.
After I finished the phone call with Straight Talk, I noticed soon after my data speeds took a DUMP! I can't get the SpeedTest app to work, I cant send pictures in gmail & Facebook barely works. Google Navigation quit on me too!
The apps, like navigation will start loading data, then simply stall.
Web browsing however, works fine while the apps are not, sometimes its really slow.
I called Straight Talk again and asked if they changed anything and they said no. I asked if they block applications and they said no. They did say I was only guaranteed 'web browsing' and suggested the mobile websites instead of the app...it seriously seems as if something is being blocked.
I can't deal with apps not working. I barely 'browse' the web. I use gmail, Facebook, and occasional navigation. These MUST work 100% and they are not.
Unless I get a definitive answer and quick, I'm hopping onto a Share Everything Verizon Plan. It'll be $65 for 4GB...its $20 more, but I'm sure all the apps will work.
Im on straight talk too and no problems. Over at howard forums there is a theory that if your ip address starts 10.1 you are being throttled and if it starts 10.2 you are not, so power down your phone and remove sim for 30 seconds and keep trying until you get a different ip address that isnt throttled. I can confirm that mine currently starts with 10.2 and no throttle, the rest is all speculation.

I didn't have to unlock the phone at all. They support unlocked A&TT and T-mobile phones. They will send you a sim card that will work in unlocked mode. I just inserted it, adjusted APN settings and everything started working. I even receive a message: "welcome to [email protected]"

as far as the data goes with StraigntTalk, it's unreliable. IMHO any carrier who leases the lines from any major carrier cannot offer "unlimited" data. so obviously you are given leftovers of the bandwidth and throttled heavily.
I am using this service for two weeks and its ok. it works for now. lets see how it works in a month or so.
Ahh ok gotcha. Also I was planning on unlocking this for use on T-Mobile but with an actual T-Mobile micro sim. I forgot that straight talk would automatically work without having to sim unlock.
I need some help here also. I thought it was better to jump on his thread than starting my own. I have net10 with an atrix hd. I have tried every apn setting I can find on the net. I have even tried combinations of settings. Here are my problems.
#1 No mms
#2 I have data issues. My browser, apps, etc. will act like I do not have a data connection. Once I reload it will work. For example, my browser may work fine, or I may have to hit refresh 5 times on every link or site I go to. My speeds are fine once it starts transferring data, and it will continue transferiing once it starts, I just have to keep retrying the app or browser to make it start the transfer.
I have read something about at&t mvno data issues, I assume that is what I am running into. I am using the wap.tracfone apn. The at&t settings will not work at all with or without proxy. My next step is unlocking the phone and jumping over to net10 on the t-mobile side. My other option is to just buy a T-mobile phone and pop the other net10 sim in. Any input on this would be appreciated. I just want this to work, it is much cheaper! What course of action should I take? I want to cancel my sprint phone, I obviously can't until this is resolved.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me. I have been using xda to solve all my problems for years, I have never had to ask a question before. I hope this isn't answered somewhere before that I missed in a search.....

Yes they are. Give it a try it should work.
I tried the other apn settings without any luck. Those entirely stopped data. I did buy sqlite and erased the at&t apn settings. That made mms work. I still had the internet issue. I paid for an unlock, for whatever reason they responded that they couldn't get my unlock code and refunded my money. I bought a galaxy note today, and have the same data issue. It must be something with the towers in my area. I paid a local company for an unlock code ($20) which I will receive tomorrow morning. I will put this phone on T-Mobile towers and be done with it. (I know I have to flash a new radio for 4g). Thanks for the responses guys, I appreciate your time.

Outside of their LTE network, At&t doesn't prioritize their own customers.
Who knows.... I went from a very "refreshing" experiance on the at&t side at 3mbps download to a perfect experiance at 12mbps download on the T-Mobile side. I would post a link talking about it, but I haven't posted enough on xda to be allowed to publish links.

Seriously? I can run my AT&T Atrix HD on Straight Talk without having to pay for a Subsidy code?
Also I keep seeing people say they have Straight Talk SIMS from different carriers. I though they was only one source? Which one works the best for the Atrix HD and how do I go about getting it? I was planning on buying a SIM this Friday.

Hi Guys,
I just adquire my Note 4 from a friend and i'm having lots of problems to conect to the network in my country, i live outside of USA (Dominican Republic), somethimes it makes and receive calls, somethimes i don't receive any calls but can make it but when i make it the other person can't listen to me (i've tried with diferent phone numbers) also the internet 4G/LTE is no consistent. In summary, i'm having lots of signal\internet issues with my Note 4.
My question is, is that a hardware issue or i need to try with other baseband or modem to fix this?
please give me some light as i'm losing my mind with.
thanks in advance...

I would first create a new apn specific to your carrier...
Then i would check to see if in fact your running the latest modem for the device..
But start with the apn...

Thank you for your help @Flashvetrin i checked the APN and it is correct, my modem is also the latest available UVU1ANK4 (not 100% sure did not find any other on internet) for t-mobile stock rom, some say this could be internal hardware problems but i dont think so because the phone make some calls and internet works sometimes but is not consistant.
i made a hard reset and i worked for some minutes but lost signal and went back to this behaivor again.
really don't know what to do now..
thanks in advance.

Can you take the device in for a sim upgrade???? Does the device recieve stronger signal anywhere in your area???? Interesting how your saying that after a hard reset it helps..
Try using short cut master from the playstore use #2263 launch0 and run 4 thru 8 ....

It is most likely coverage problem. My understanding is that biggest cell provider in DR is company which uses cdma technology. Do a little research which gsm provider has better coverage in your area and if lte bands used are compatible with your note4.

I've done all of the steps you mention and nothing gets better, it just works when he wants (most of the time it donesnt). I will try installing a ROM just for testing purposes.
I changed my SIM card for the newest LTE capable one. @darekz im on Claro and they are GSM\LTE.
Thanks in advance,
Miggs
I did do quick search and appears that claro using lte band 4 which is supported by Tmobile note 4. Just to check can you disable lte in phone settings and see if daya transfer improves over 4g. With poor lte coverage phone will constantly fallback to 4g and keep looking for lte.

I have changed all the different options and nothing. I have a friend who has the same phone as me and we interchanged SIMs cards and my sim worked very well on his and her SIM did not worked on mine. Im not sure on how to update the baseband but i will try to do this and to see if this fix the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hi @Flashvetrin,
The baseband is K4, i flashed the NJ and it keeps almost the same behaivor, i can say K4 is a bit better as at least i can make calls, no calls with NJ.
build.prop, i dont know how to edit it and i'm note certainly sure about it as it can brick my phone.
Let's assume it's a hardware issue, is the hardware in charge of control the siganl interchangable, can i buy it on internet, or is my phone destined to be a clip for papers??
BTW, i installed another ROM and it's the same, no way.
Thanks for all your help,

Question what was the behavior of the phone like when it was in the us????
Fyi there are things that can be changed..
(ALOT) of things in the build prop..
your phone wont brick....
I promise..
But if your not comfortable i understand.
It may be that the modem hsic just isnt or doesnt respond on "this" paticular network..
The phone that you compared it to was it purchased in the us as well...
If its infact an International Version it may have some bearing.....
No its not a paper weight...but i am starting to run out of ideas/solutions...
Please be paitent.. im gonna consult some else as well..

The phone is the same, a TMO Note 4 bought in US and taken to DR, that's why i say this could be a hardware issue as my SIM worked very well on her phone.
I will try with other baseband and let you know.
Thanks.

Has anyone been able to add their Nexus 6 ICCID to their Verizon account so that it shows up as an officially recognized device (with a picture and stuff) on the account?
I'm trying to add HD Voice to my account and it won't let me add it with the unrecognized device. I've run into this problem before and have had to swap my Sim card back into my MotoX that it is officially registered to, then add/remove account features on my line, and finally swap the Sim card back into my N6.
I thought now that Verizon is selling the N6 it would reconigze my ICCID, but it still said invalid device when I tried to update it myself online.
Thanks
I have not heard of anybody being able to update their phone to make it say it's a Verizon device but many many of us have turned on HD Voice. Your account should show it as compatible.

Hmm, whenever I try and it in on the Add/Remove Features page I get this error "Please ensure all required features are selected for XXX-XXX-XXXX" (with my actual #). There are only two features that look as if they're required and I've selected an option for both.
I wonder if it's because I'm on a business account.
I was at the Verizon store last night and was informed by the rep that within the next few weeks Verizon should be adding devices to their database so that its recognized. They tried to add my IMEI but it still would not allow them to.

Try to change it from the mobile app, I cant change anything online since a rep in the store looked up my account now if I try to change it online it shows that I have to call Verizon to make the change. Something to do with the unrecognized device .
I've been trying for 2 months now. Still no luck. Spoke w/ tier 2 this morning. Paperwork was submitted and I'm supposed to get a phone call back tomorrow to resolve the issue. I'll keep everyone updated. Not very optimistic though. I really could care less if the phone was recognized, but I was getting a $25 loyalty credit that dissapeared 2 months ago. Had to keep calling in to get the credit. At least they were happy to issue the credit every month. Just a pita.

Unbelievable. And its no wonder that the CFO of Vz warned investors last month of an increase of churn for the 1st quarter of 2015. How can you treat customers like this and expext them to be loyal? Makes me look real hard at tmo. Sad.
They submitted a ticket for mine but she wasn't optimistic that it would ever show anything other than unknown.

You are looking at the "Free Products" tab and not the "Premium Products" tab which shows up by default in the "Manage Products & Apps" page?
When I went to select Advanced Calling on the Free tab, there were no other products chosen in either tab except for (Free) Verizon Cloud on my (unrecognized IMEI) Nexus 6 line.

Thanks for the advice man, but as a business customer I don't think I have the "Manage Products & Apps" page. I only have an Add/Remove Features page, I attached a couple related screenshots.

Surprisingly, I didn't have to put the SIM back in my old Moto X (2013) in order to place that order - it worked with my Nexus 6 holding the SIM and showing as an unrecognized IMEI in my family account, for some lucky reason. You can't enable this via the Moto?
Assuming your Nexus 6 is on a 5.1 level of Lollipop (which is required for HD Voice), perhaps you already checked to see if it's available to enable in the phone setting menu.
Hope I'm not confusing things, here.

I might be the one who confused things for you. The picture with Advanced Calling/HD Voice checked was just showing my attempt at enabling it. When I check it and press submit I get the error in the second screen shot. I'm almost positive the problem is that I'm using my N6 on my business account. I actually posted a different question in another thread, where I explained my whole process a little better. This just happened to be the thread brought back to life...
It's long and there's no real reason to bother reading it, but I'll post it here anyway...
EvanVanVan said:
Thanks for your help, the problem isn't the business account, it's that the combination of the business account and the non-vzw device (I think). I can't make any changes to the account while I've got my sim card in my N6, so when I need to, I put it back in my Moto X. But...
When I have the sim card in my N6 and go to my VZW business account page > click on my line > go to Add/Remove Features > I have a check box to enable HD Voice. But when I try to add it I get the following error "Please ensure all required features are selected for 555-555-5555." I think this is due to the non-vzw device status. There are only two required sections on the page, and I've selected an option for both of them.
Yet when I have the sim card in my Moto X, the HD Voice check box is no longer there...So I'm hoping if I can get a hold of [a Verizon compatible HD Voice] devices you listed and pop my sim card in, the check box will reappear and I'll be able to add it for my line.
And since I have a business account I can't use this page (http://www.verizonwireless.com/wcms/consumer/advanced-calling.html) to add it like another user suggested, because that one wants me to login to the regular My Verizon service, not the business one...

I called *611 and actually got a rep that sounded like she wanted to help. I explained that I had heard that people on business plans with nexus 6 phones not purchased through Verizon couldn't activate hdvoice via the website, but it was possible through the automated menu via *611. I told her that I was unsuccessful at doing it that way and she was able to get it done through the automated process on her end. Didn't have to transfer me or escalate the request to another level tech or anything.

Damn, sounds like you got lucky...I've tried and either they really can't help/run into errors like I do, or after hearing your story maybe they're kind of sketched out my device is showing up as unrecognized and are unwilling to help. The one woman did sound like she wanted to help, went through the process of filling out the paperwork to get it authenticated as a Open Development Device certification. But I never heard back from her and reading other peoples posts, it was most likely denied by the higher ups.

Try mentioning activating advanced calling 1.0 via the automated menu. After I mentioned that a few times she gave it a go on her end and I was all set.
Just to update, after a week of the runaround, the rep told me tonight that the only way I can get the loyalty discount is if I bought the phone from Verizon. They will not accept any other phones from other carriers, including directly from Motorola or the Google play store. It must be a Verizon branded phone. I lose my discount, so Verizon is losing my business. I'm switching to T-Mobile.
I put my sim card in my daughter's Droid Maxx to enable HD voice on my line. When I put the sim back in my T-Mobile N6 VoLTE does not work. I have been told by VZW tier 2 support the they tried to get my device added to their database and it was denied because I did not purchase it from VZW and my N6 will never be compatible with their VoLTE.

Well there is your problem.. You listened to a Verizon tech about this. It has been confirmed that volte works on non Verizon nexus 6's and the info on how to do it is in this thread.
Ok, I got the Samsung Gear S2 watch which runs on 4g today thinking the Nexus 6 at least had HD Voice because the 5 did and you have to have it to connect to A&T's NumberSync or it wont work on 4g and its useless. Anyway, I got everything to work except I couldn't get it to connect to the NumberSync with the error "We are sorry. We cannot set up NumberSync because your device does not have HD Voice...." I called AT&T and they asked for my IMEI number and that will tell them and they said it must not have HD Voice. Is there some way I can get this enabled on this phone so I can use this?
Thanks!

and what does hd voice have to do with Volte??? Volte = voice over lte. without volte, lte is only a data line, with volte it is also a voice line.
Heck if I know I just said VoLTE and she said yes but the error said HD voice... Ill change the title

if you make a call on lte, and you have voice, then its on.
Im not sure if the phone has it. I keep reading Verizon version does but AT&T dont at the time. Here is someting else. I thought she said my phone was coming up as something else but the IMEI number I gave her was correct or the same as I read off.
if you go to the main settings, more, cellular network, turn on enhanced 4G LTE mode.

its the same phone on all the networks, but i guess it might not be capable on every network(depending on their methods). anyways, it has hd voice on tmobile as well, not just verizon.

Whats weird is i dont have the option to turn it on in my phone settings and its an unlocked phone. The setting to turn it on/ off is there if i go to *#*#4636#*#* but the button is set to on and wont switch back and forth. There is supposed to be a nother setting under More/Cellular Networks/Preferred Network Type called extended and mine isnt there.

Does your phone company support VoLTE on this phone specifically?
The various Android 8 roms should support it if it works on stock. But many telcos check the specific model of the phone, and only enables it on the models that they have approved.

I'm on a AT&T MVNO (Red Pocket Mobile) so I don't know. But if you're talking about the backbone (AT&T) I still don't know because I believe my N6 was purchased from Google. I'm pretty sure AT&T branded N6's are approved.
