Modem issues with Straight Talk?

Hello,
I just switched Straight Talk and I'm having issues connecting to data. I have read through all of the threads here and spent a few hours on the phone with Straight Talk support. I have tried all of the suggested APN settings and numerous variations.
I am wondering if this is a symptom of the modem I am using. I am running a CM9 nightly build (9-20120625) with modem JL3 (default modem for this build).
If Straight Talk is working for you on your Captivate, will you respond here with your modem information? I will not hesitate to switch roms or modems if I know one is going to work.
Thanks.

I'm on straight talk as well and though I don't don't think I've ever used the particular modem you're using I've never had data issues with any modems only overall signal strength and GPS ability. With that being said I'm using kg3 modem with no problems.
With the APN settings that you get from straight talks website they do not work properly. However many of the latest jellybean builds come preloaded with APN settings that work with straight talk. I would personally suggest either Hellybean or Slimbean.
If you want to try the settings before you flash a different ROM they are as follows...
Name: StraightTalk ATT
APN: art.mvno
MMSC: http://mmsc.Cingular.com
MMS proxy: 66.209.11.33
MMS port : 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN Type: default,supl,mms
APN Protocol: IPv4
Everything else should be left unset.

[Q] Unlocked Samsung Captivate won't download MMS, even with the carrier correct APN,

Hello,
I have a Samsung i896 Captivate, which was originally with Rogers. I purchased it from a cell store second hand and unlocked. I am with Virgin Mobile. I have spoken to them about my issue that the MMS will not download. They say they're down loading but then never finish and eventually expire. Even as I added the APN according to the instructions from VIrgin, nothing has changed. Still not down loading MMS. They say that because the phone was not originally with Virgin they can't do anything about it. Is there anything I can do to get my MMS downloading even with my unlocked phone??? Please help and thank you for reading.

When you entered your APN, did you delete all the others first?
Being unlocked doesn't change much other than you can use it on any carrier. Did you check with them to see if they locked your MMS?
Also, MMS can only be downloaded on data (can't use wifi).

Thank you for your reply BWolf56! So I haven't checked with Rogers to see if they lock their MMS as they are not my carrier. (they were the original phone owners carrier) If I call them do you think they'll assist me even if I am not thier client?
When I entered the APN there were no previous APN entered so none to delete.
I turned off the Wifi and then turned my phone on and off, just to see if that made a difference...I don't even know what to expect will happen if I do find a fix. Will my pending (NOT expired) MMS be able to be down loaded?
Would you have any other suggestions as to how to fix this problem? I really want to receive these messages before they expire and am getting kind of desperate. Thanks again.

Locked MMS would come from your current carrier so you would have to ask them.
Although, if you were on Wifi this entire time, it's normal it didn't work. As I mentioned earlier, you need to be on your data (3G/H) to download MMS. You should be able to redownload the pending ones, just hold over the MMS and hit redownload.

Out of curiosity, did you set two APN's? By the looks of it, there are two for Virgin - one for default and one for mms. I had the worst time doing a Rogers apn setup and eventually had to go to the default one and put default,text,mms,...etc for the type. Virgin might work the same. If you already have figured your problem out, then sorry for a late reply.

There should be 2 APNs indeed: Rogers' look like this:
Main APN:
Name: Roger #1
APN: internet.com
MCC: 302
MNC: 720
APN type: default,supl,mms
APN protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Unspecified
Leave everything else as is.
MMS APN:
Name: Rogers MMS
APN: rogers-core-appl1.apn
MMSC: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
MMS proxy: 10.128.1.69
MMS port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 720
APN type: mms
APN protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Unspecified
Leave everything else as is.
There's also a LTE one and couple others but aren't needed on our phone.
So yeah, Virgin should have something similar to those. And of course, gotta be on data (3G)

Let's hope that's all it is, I couldn't help but notice that the reference was "APN" instead of "APN's". I'm just finishing work on a Captivate and happen to have a Virgin acct so I'll try it shortly and see

Oh my. I am so sorry, I didnt even get close to trying my virgin acct on the captivate I was working on. The customer was hovering to get it back, so sorry for misleading. How did you make out ElleJay? did you finally get your unit going?

i had a similar problem a few months back and sporadically since. i talked to rogers and was advised to go into apn type and edit it to say - internet,mms instead or default,supl,mms
try it and exit then go back in and make sure it stuck. for some reason it takes more than one try sometimes.
hope that helps

Remember, they bought with rogers as original, but are trying to setup virgin...but yeah, the overall consencus is that they may be missing an apn setting and "of course, gotta be on data (3g)" lol. Now just more concerned as to whether its up and running.

Rooted and Flashed CM 10 - 4g and 3g handoffs/data broken (T-Mobile)

Hey Guys,
Trying to fix up my girlfriends phone and really need help! I flashed a custom rom, everything worked awesome except the 4g kept switching to 3g - and the overall data speeds were painfully slow (.05 Mbps or so) - wifi seemed to work just fine.
Now when I restore back to the original rom with CWM the problem persists (stock rom stays in '4g' but still has painfully slow speeds).
Please help me out! Is there a modem zip or something I can flash to fix this? Could it be a kernel issue? I am surprised that wiping and restoring the original backup did nothing.
Thanks!

to be honest it sounds like an issue with the tower/s in your area. Sometimes when they do upgrades or maintenance things work but not like they should. Same with tv and internet in general. You best bet would be to try asking tmobile if there is any maintenance or upgrades going on in your area. If not feel more than free to come back here and we can look more in-dept.

I don't think it is related to towers...the issue has persisted for over a week. It also started right after flashing.

go into "Settings"
Under "Wireless & network" click More...
then click "mobile networks"
then click "Access Point Names"
click hard menu button then "new apn"
enter this

My bad it may very from rom to rom or just in a different area of the rom. I did mine on AOIP 1.5 ROM (android 4.2.2). mind posting a screeny of apn settings when adding new so i can see all the options it gives or you can try switching to AOIP 1.5 8/10 with latest kernel on same OP here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284587 also towards the end Cam posted latest CWM 6.0.4.4 recovery if you need one.

Thanks for the support! I have tried a number of ROMs with the same exact issue, even reverting back to stock and losing root kept a 4G lock but with painfully slow speeds (0.05 down 0.1 up).

some of your setting are different than mine and mine as a few more options than yours. mine is below also there if you have root you can try android tweaker from the playstore and see if some the tweaks will help.

This is great information, if you live in a city that has LTE coverage especially. I know our phones technically aren't LTE capable but now at least I get more "H" than I do "3G" when connected to data which means I am getting better speed. Going to test this throughout the day.
Edit: In a traditionally weak area of coverage in the neighborhood at the moment and I'm now getting four bars. Speed has gone from 4.5Mbps to 5.5.

glad it works for you that means i can set it for default on aoip ce :highfive:

This helped.... also go to this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307264&page=6
From that page" Tested and verified flashable UVLK2 baseband zip at: http://d-h.st/lCT "
I also flashed that as well.. (don't forget to wipe davlik and cache first before flashing)...
It seems to have helped slightly... went from 3-4 mps to 4-5 mps on average

Moto x MMS problems on ATT?

So, quick backstory:
got my moto x, loved every part of it except the battery life which was in my opinion pretty sub par. Did some looking around, lots of reports of 4.4 ruining battery life for some people.
So I flashed 4.2.2 (the first OTA with camera I think, file name was ATT_XT1058_4.2.2-13.9.0Q2.X-116-X-17-54_CFC_1FF.xml.zip).*
I god damn love this thing now, battery life is superb and everything else is just as good (cept I miss the 4.4 launcher with the fade out nav bars, but oh well).
However today I discovered a problem. I can't send or receive pictures (more generally anything mms it seems). I've got signal (LTE, more specifically), and SMS/calls work fine.
Tried having a look at the APN settings, but it wont let me edit them anyway, they're greyed out.
That more or less leaves me out of ideas, anyone familiar with this problem?
*I had a hell of a time getting the flash to work. rsdlite 6.1.5 kept giving me an error "unknown adb command: getvar". some googling led to deleting this line in the .xml file
<step operation="getvar" var="max-download-size" />
after which it worked, but then rsdlite got to the "rebooting" phase and hung there. the phone rebooted and was working fine and like hey dude set me up we're good, so I just unplugged it and went.

wondering if maybe taking the 4.4 OTA update would fix it, though if it causes my battery life to suffer again that'll suck.

If the APN settings are wrong you can create a new one rather than changing the old one.

I'm using the T-Mobile variant on AT&T and had trouble sending/receiving MMS when I first got up and running. Had 4G LTE, everything worked, except MMS.
Create a new APN setting as the previous poster suggested. Could be all you need to do is change the MMS port to '8080' instead of '80'. These are my APN settings that work for me:
Name: AT&T PHONE
APN: phone
Proxy: Not Set
Port: Not Set
Username: Not Set
Password: Not Set
Server: Not Set
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type: Not Set
APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Unspecified
MVNO type: None
Like I said, with these settings, I have no issues with MMS and get 4G LTE.

Thanks for the advice guys. Sadly I can't seem to do...anything actually, related to apns. The existing ones are greyed out when I click on them, and while I can make a new one, it won't save, I click save and nothing happens, back button won't work and when I go back into the menu via settings its not there
Any suggestions?
Edit: I made one with a bogus name and then it let me save it, I've since changed it to match the settings offered here (thank you) but still no dice

So turns out hangouts has its own APN settings menu for MMS. Changed the port in there to 8080 and now it works.feel kinda silly bit hey at least its good now lol.
Thanks guys

Awesome man. That was one of the first tricks i tried -- just changing the port to 8080. Once you create a new APN setting, there's a radio button you have to highlight on the right side to select it. it's kind of hard to see, if you can even see it at all. Perhaps that's why you thought you couldn't save it? Either way, glad you found an alternative fix for yourself within hangouts.

[Q] HTC ONE 801s (International) Update to 4.4.2 lost data connection

I am using an international version of the HTC ONE 801s and after I updated to 4.4.2 last night I realized that I don't have data connection.
I can still make calls, data is turned on from the looks of it but I don't get data. Wifi works fine.
Anyone else have this issue?
Oh yea I'm with Rogers.
Please help T.T

try both apn settings listed here (from Rogers website) Make sure you don't make any typo. If it still doesn't work, I think you'll have to call Rogers Tech support since your phone is stock and you didn't messed anything.
