APN setings for my newly flashed Cappy - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, the CM10.1 flash is running perfectly! I like to give a big thanks to all those who helped. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
However, before the flash I was able to get 3G running a Straight Talk SIM card. At the moment, the best I can do is Edge. Straight Talk offers the following settings, which are the same as I had in 2.3.5:
Name : Straight Talk
APN : att.mvno
Proxy : Left Blank
Port : Left Blank
User name : Left Blank
Password : Left Blank
Server : Left Blank
MMSC : http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy : proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
MMS port : 80
MCC : 310
MNC : 410
Authentication type : Left Blank
APN type : default,supl,mms
So why no 3G? Even when I flashed back to stock, it instantly gave me 3G. Any ideas?

Looks like a lot of people have checked out this post, but no one has answered. Well, I figured it out and thought I'd share so everyone knows:
Firstly, I had to make sure the the APNs were right. I double checked that with Straight Talk, which they were correct. Next, I went to phone and typed in *#*#4636#*#* to access the advanced phone setup options. I then switched it from "unknown" to "LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)." This kicked it into HSDPA, which is better than 3G, so I'm more than thrilled at my new setup! I never got H mode in 2.3.5. It's like having a new phone!
Thanks again to everyone who helped me out!

I think a lot of people, myself included, browse these forums in order to gain more knowledge about our devices and android in general. Not everyone, myself included, have the experience and/or knowledge necessary to help other users solve their issues. That being said, thank you for posting your results so that other users may learn from your experience. Glad you got it figured out. Edge is a slow beast! I know. It's all that's available in my area running a T-Mobile sim in my cappy.

Nice work, Courtney.
Thanks for sharing your progress.
By the way, there settings in CM10.1 settings menus that let you control the hsupa, hsdpa, 2G options.
Settings, Data, more is where you can toggle 2G only to save battery.
Settings, advanced settings is where you will find the radio mode settings.

URGENT . . ish

Hey guys sorry for putting this in all the alpines forums but I really need help.
I have a Xda IIi (HTC Alpine) with a o2 Pay as You Go SIM, and I need the settings for GPRS mobile web.
I got the settings off someone here before (they gave me tap by tap instructions) and it worked, but I had to hard reset my phone, therefore losing all my settings :'(
all I need is the settings so I can get MMS messages that I can't download.
If anyone out there can help me please reply asap
thanks alot
I think the reason you've gotten no answers to this is because you've cleverly avoided (at least it seems) using the

The CAB file is available on the forum, if memory serves it was uploaded by either pug or vijay555. The XDA Developers forum search utility is absolutely useless though, whatever I search for it always just seems to show the latest active threads, so I give up with it very quickly.
I googled using my magic keywords and I came up with a URL: http://www.clubimate.com/support/PPC_OP_SETTINGS/O2_UK_PAYG.CAB . I've not tried it, as I'm on contract, but hell you might as well give it a go. In the meantime, I'm off to find the cab which is hosted on this forum.
For the record also, according to this quite useful site which I've used before (http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html), GPRS isn't available on PAYG. Hmm. Anyway, all the connection settings for WAP and GPRS are on that page.
And from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=233151#233151) I just found:

[Q] Best ROM for enterprise wifi

I'm new to the forums but I have tried to read through as much as I can. I updated to 2.2 last week with the update from samsung. I knew that the "update" wouldn't work any better with my work's wifi connection but I wanted to try anyways.
My question is, out of all the roms out there, do any of them work using 802.1x security with authentication through peap and mschapv2?
I can see our network but can't connect to it, our radius servers don't even see my connection attempts. I work in the school's IT department so we have spent a pretty fair amount of time trying to make this work. Not just for me, but for other android users as well.
I've tried using a few of the wifi apps but none of them seem to help.
I am using a samsung captivate on att, not rooted.
Thanks for any help

Add the network manually and select the right authentication method. In settings>wireless
Thanks for the reply but I've been through the whole wifi menu and tried different settings and I can't seem to get anything to work so I was thinking of rooting and loading a rom if enterprise wifi connections are better.
Any rom is basically going to work the same as far as wifi goes. As long as you can select the settings to match your network as shown in the screenshot, it should work.

Not always. If he needs and ad-hoc connection he needs to use a different wpa_supplicant than the one that comes with stock and many of the custom roms. As well, it is possible that the dhcpcd on the rom he is running is not capable to obtain ip/dns/subnet from his particular network.
Take a look here for the dhcp info and here for the supplicant thingy (not sure if is compatible with galaxy s, there was one for SGS floating around but cant find it atm)
If still doesnt work, it should work by editing the bcm... something.conf in data (i dont have my phone with me.)
EDIT: Im using my phone with LEAP / IPsec and is a pain to configure it without an app that someone made for this specific network configuration

[Q] Help: HTC One M7 Sprint Data problems Sixth Sense Nightlies ROM

Hi,
First of all apologies if this question has been raised before - however, after searching for an answer in multiple threads, I finally had to start a thread.
I installed Renovate Sixth Sense Nightlies ROM r116 [Sense 6.0] last week and everything is running fine. I really love the ROM and features that are there. However, there are two problems that I am facing which is creating a problem on using.
Problem 1: Data connection issues
Although I can connect to Wifi, I have not been able to connect to data. The location I am in has areas covered by 3G and EDGE. However, whichever location I am in there is no data transfer. Reading through different threads I have changed the setting for preferred network type: GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto. However this still does not have any result. This is the screen shot from the device system.
I have tried updating/changing the APN. My phone is S-ON

Problem 2: Japanese/Chinese Text when running USSD code
This is a problem when I am running any USSD code (*124#) which I need to run different network requests (i.e balance check). Need to know how to change it to English. I found a thread on this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515937&page=9
But not sure if this is applicable to the ROM I am running now. Here is the screenshot:
I am quite new to this, so if I needed to give some more information please do let me know and I will try my best to give it (but would also help if you could let me know where I would be able to give you the information from!)
Thanks...

T-Mobile APN issue/Question

The only thing I manually added and as shown - currently selected is the "Fix" - APN to enable Wi-Fi MMS pic send/receive which seems to work fine as found in another thread in these forums.
Here is my question. Should ALL these APN's be in my phone as follows:
{
"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"
}
I am on a ROM and not sure if they came with it or I somehow got them in otherwise.
One of the reason's I ask is that my girlfriend's T-Mobile Avant first off, only has ONE T-Mobile APN period in this section.
2nd reason is she is complaining of getting duplicate texts from my phone (both text & MMS pic sends) from time to time so I am wondering if this is due to having so many APN's as noted in above screenshot?
Thanks
Pic is not showing
Bump!
I'm bumping this cause I am interested in the answer too. I think my WiFi Calling is messing up...
Pic still not showing and since op never came back he probably figured out his rom was the issue.. As Tmobile stayed many times mms over WiFi will only work over WiFi calling. If ur trying to say it still sends it cause it sending thru mobile data still.
BAD ASS NOTE 4
Apologize as I have no idea what happened to the pic from my OP. I will check my phone but believe I have since deleted it. Sure it's in my email somewhere as I usually send it to myself after taking a screenshot from one gmail account to the other.
Anyhow, I have resolved my issue by moving on to a different ROM. I will gladly share my current APN if helpful to anyone.
Still having issues with T-Mobile's Network itself, a whole different story, but can confirm that I have "WiFi Calling" & "MMS over WiFi" functional now. :good:

Go to the apn setup, do a reset to default on the apns, then a couple of tmo apn will show up, next, use the one that works best for you, and simply remove the others.
Good luck!

Changing Network Settings

I have been using an app the last few days that has really helped me at work. Where I work, I get very poor LTE signal. It constantly struggles to connect and frequently drops to 3G before reconnecting to LTE. This not only sucks when trying to maintain a consistent data connection, but also drains the battery faster. I’ve been using an app I found on the Play Store called Network Mode and changing the preferred network type to “TD-SCDMA, GSM/WCDMA, CDMA, and EVDO” while at work. By taking LTE out of the equation, I get a consistent 3G data connection and it has also improved my battery life. I change the network type when I get to work, and change it back before I leave. Anyway, just thought I would throw this out there in case there are others who are in the same boat.
Also, if anyone figures out a way to automate that process (with Tasker or something) let me know.

I'm sure you can change from 4G to 3G in settings of phone. That's what I did because I can't get 4G in UK so I changed to 3G settings. Moto Maxx.

That may be true on Moto Maxx. Unfortunately that is not an option on Verizon Droid Turbo.
