Just before lunch today I lost all data, could make calls and text. I called straight talk. I got the normal run around. I asked if there was any outages in Alabama. Was told no. I called my local ATT store and they said they have no reports. So I looked up straight talks apn again just to make sure something didn't go crazy. There is a NEW APN. I put it in and I have data working again.

Ok something fishy is going on here. I just got home and looked at my wifes phone. She still has the same APN settings I had. Her phone is working ok. I have tried ever APN setting I can find. Nothing else works but the one in the first post. I just done a factory reset and its still the same. I was wondering if it was a location thing but my wifes phone still the same, Something is going on with my phone or other Straight talk is screwing with me.
My data now keeps freezing up Wtf ?

I just had the same experience. My AT&T Straight Talk Nexus 4 data stopped working yesterday, but my wife's phone, also on AT&T Straight Talk, continued working without a hitch. My renewal day was yesterday, too, but my wife has a different renewal date. My data stopped working at around the same time I got the email from them indicating my auto-charge was successful.
I called Straight Talk and was given the runaround that my data was disabled because I was violating their terms and conditions. I told them I categorically was not violating them, which is true - I use less than 1GB of data each month, and don't even watch Youtube on my phone - then demanded to be transfered to a supervisor. I was connected to a supervisor who was more helpful and gave me the new APN information, and I was soon back up and running.
The good news is that performance during my morning commute seem much better with the new APN. Perhaps AT&T started kicking Straight Talk customers off of att.mvno at the end of their monthly cycle and Straight Talk is scrambling to get them on their own APN? I have no problem with it if that's the case and the APN performance is OK, but it sure would have been nice to know in advance...

my end date was yesterday too... on two phones.. got off the phone today with ST with a new APN.. well SMS/Phone/Data are working, but no MMS i can send from the phone but its not reciving them. anyone checked this?
This may very well be the case. My wifes service ends about the middle of the month. Looks like they could have said something when i was on the phone with them for 30mins, or an email!!!
My mms is working
i can send MMS to my email [email protected] but cant recive them. i get a notifcation for Message Not Downloaded! any ideas
I'm trying not to panic, but it may be that Straight Talk is going to go downhill from here :^(
AT&T doesn't want to subsidize it's services anymore, I don't want a T-Mobile sim!
My renewal date was yesterday and my data went totally offline. I googled it and found the "new" apn settings on the ST website. I updated and everything works except MMS, I can send but not receive.
I spent hours going to dozens of websites, entered new apn settings at least 25-30 times to no avail, and spent an hour on the phone with ST support (they didn't help at all).
Hopefully this is just a transition that needs some time to resolve a few bugs. Clearly the MMS server/proxy is having forwarding problems.
Oh we'll, I've pinned this thread and plan on checking it often to see if there are any developments.
Same here... No warning, just lost data yesterday - coincidentally the same day as my subscription renewal. After fighting with settings all day, noticed new APN info on ST site. Entered and now working perfectly. WTF?

I've been using Tmobile T-Zones for years for my internet. Had it for my Palm Centro, used it on my iphone, and used it for the past 6 months on my Nexus One.
For some reason now, this AM (also for a brief hour or so last week), Tmobile is not letting my T-zones work, telling me I need to upgrade my data plan.
Anyone else having this issue?
This is not a T-mobile contract Nexus, this is the full price unsubsidized one.
I have the $10 plan I got with a dumbphone and that still works for me. Is ur apn set to internet2.voicestream.com?

I was grandfathered in to the $6 T-Zones plan. I think this is the same thing as the $10 plan. Haven't changed the settings or APN but I'll check.
Addendum:
epc.tmobile.com is what I've been using all along. ? why they'd shut that one off and keep the other one going?
Idk that never worked for me. Then again I'm a new customer. epc one always took me to web2go page saying I need to upgrade. Hopefully they don't stop this one.

Ok, all the forums report it's back and working again. I just tried and it is working. Did not make it home to try it on my iphone.
Apparently did not affect (at least that I could see) those who were on the $10 internet plan (what you have). My T-zones is $5.99, and all the posters I saw were on the same plan.
We'll see if this outage is intermittent or what.
Hi, I've been using Web2Go on my N1 with T-Mobile for the past couple years along with my brother. Today, it stopped working for both of us.
Anyone else have this problem? If so, what solutions have you found for it? Thanks!

Stopped working for another line on my account too.
Had no choice but to call 611 and inquire. They said they will "Upgrade" me to the regular 200MB data plan with no overages and no additional charges.
I asked if they can give me the 2GB plan since they are changing my existing plan for their benefit, they couldn't do it. (They offered a 5GB plan for $25, i.e. $15 more)
Oh well, no market downloads over mobile and limited tethering for me... Looks like Tmo got hold of a majority of the Nexus One IMEI numbers.

Changed APN to wap.voicestream.com and its working again!
However, a lot of ports/sites are blocked. Can't access anything Google related, Facebook, Whatsapp, etc.
I'm looking into SSH Tunneling to see if that would fix the problem.
After 2 years of the amazing N1, think I'm going to switch to HTC Vivid or Galaxy SII i777 sometime soon. Yeah, I know I'll only get EDGE for now, but I don't mind. Maybe later I'll get 4G (some signs of tmobile getting ATT bands, but mostly speculation).
mine died today, too. once i get a chance, i'm switching to simple mobile.
Stopped working yesterday in TX.
If I'm gonna pay full price for internet, might as well get me

Just wanted to also chime in. I'm in TX as well and I haven't had data service for the past two days. It was nice having web2go for 2 years, but I'm going to move towards just not having a data plan anymore, go prepaid, and use a usb stick whenever I travel for data.
My only other option would be to try to jump onto the $30 / month walmart plan -- gah I'm so tired of cellphone companies.

Did you try configuring it to use the old proxy that the wap apn used?
If you're going to get another phone, I'd check the hofo wiki. They have a list of phones that have 3G ("4G") on AWS but are compatible with tzones.
TMO will probably never get 1900MHz 3G all over, just in a few places.
So fellow IncS users, us Aussies are stuck with Optus. As much as we love Optus, there are many things we don't love as much about Optus.
This is the thread to share everything about Optus you like and don't like.
Let the ranting begin!
Rules:
-No Racism

-No more than 2 Off-Topic Posts per page by any one user. That is why there is an Off-Topic thread.
Feel Free to get passionate.
Personally, from my own experience Optus have been the best mobile company I've dealt with. My wife is on Vodafone and they have been abysmal from the off and given the opportunity I'd break the contract in a heartbeat. I'm currently on Virgin as is one of my kids and I'm currently in a battle with them over a $900 bill which has arrived following a 'free' handset upgrade (which took almost 3 weeks to arrive after they messed up the original order). When questioned about it I was told the fee was an equipment charge, despite the fact I pay a $5 monthly handset charge.
On the other hand, I upgraded my other daughters phone with Optus and it arrived less than 24 hours later and the threw in additional credit on the monthly allowance as a thankyou for renewing the contract.
The only issue I have with Optus is the flakey coverage where I live but it's the same for many services as so many use the Optus network. But in comparison to Vodafone, Optus coverage is light-years ahead.
My home phone is Optus, my whole family's phones are Optus, my home broadband is Optus. Customer service isn't half bad compared to Telstra and TPG. Once, when I churned my Internet to Optus, they told us that there would be a 2-3 day delay on modem deliver and then the compensate they didn't charge the first bill, which was 60 dollars.
Sometimes they send their promotional spam via SMS though, and that's annoying. Besides that I've never had a poor experienced with thrm

Yea that may be true, but when you have ur internet, home phone and 4 mobiles connected to optus, it gets annoying.
1. Optus Broadband can be slow and can be fast, many times the router doesnt respond and we have to resort to restarting it. On top of that, when we first connected with optus 4 years ago, they sent us a broadband router which would often be slower than dial-up. We later found out the router was buggy and ordered another router. A week later They sent us another one, and they mucked up the order and they sent us a router which was not wireless. (No Wifi). After another week, we got our current modem which is still quite slow. At this point we gave up and were content with what we had.
2. Last year, one of our devices could not connect to the modem. We called up Optus and asked how to deal with the problem. After 1 hour, (30 mins on hold and 30 mins of rambling) we hung up and i decided to ask Mr. Google. It turned out that it was a small security feature which thought my device was an unknown device, and blocked because of security. I just disabled it and voila! Thankd Optus. -_-
3. The coverage of Optus is pathetic compared to services like Telstra. Most of the time i find myself Holding my phone to the phone to the sky just to get 1 bar of reception. Not to mention that mms problem with AOKP roms.
4. Optus used to have good internet packages (1TB of data for $129) but now they are extending their prices and it is $100 for 300GB. Come on.
We are not changing because it is too much of an effort to switch. We have been loyal customers for years but they still do not have any loyalty offers at all. All standard prices.
Lift ur game Optus.

I found that Optus had been pretty good in Hobart alone, Hadn't really ventured too far out of the metropolitan area as I was 14 and still under my parent's wings. But I'm with Telstra now, which is good. I got my phone from canada, just so I can use Telstra 3G on the INC S
Well my wife and I are with TPG who use the Optus network. While coverage may not be as good as Telstra it suits most of our needs. I went with them for the value/price. I pay $35 a month to get $1000 of calls and 3gig of data which is all I need.
The only bad part is AOS/KP roms and mms. I think I've got it sussed now, a bit of mucking around but not unbearable. Time will tell.

i was with optus back before digital... still have the same last 6 digits... i had 4 phones on their business plan, and always thought they were looking after me so to speak, never had any issues with reception or customer service but only 12- 18 months ago I heard about amaysim, who use the optus network, and their deals were so much cheaper, so i rang optus and asked if they would match amaysim's prices, they said no, and the rest is history. saving approx 50% each month.

From what I understand, Optus uses WAP 2.0 as the protocol for MMS. This option isn't available in AOKP builds, only IPv4 and IPv6. Which is why it works over WiFi, I guess...
Not sure if there is any way to get around this.
It's a shame...
There is a way around it that seems to be working for me. Setting it up is the hardest part and that is just removing 1 of the items in mms APN settings. I briefly outlined it the Unofficial CM10 thread. If anyone is interested I can do it all here. I'll try to be a bit more comprehensive here.
This is not my work solely , but a combination of numerous others trying all sorts of things and me doing bits and pieces from them all till I found what works for me.

Sorry for this being a bit long winded. And if all else fails go back to step one and reload the default APN's!!
Here is a brief description of how I am now able to receive MMS messages on Unofficial CM10 with Optus AU as the provider or carrier. This is not my work but derived from reading a lot of different posts with various ideas and things tried.
First I went into CM10 settings and restored all APN's to default. When this was completed I deleted all the APN's except the 3 Optus (Optus Internet, Optus Yesinternet and Optus MMS). Optus MMS will be the only one with no select button alongside it.
I then open up the Optus MMS APN and one of the last settings is 'APN Type'. I removed the 'mms' from this line and left it blank. You now save and back out from here. Then you look at the APN's there should now be a select button alongside all of them.
I then open up a message and go to the settings and under 'Multimedia (MMS) Messages' I have de-selected 'Auto-Retrieve'.
That is the only 'Settings' that you need to change. Now it is only a little inconvenience when you use the phone. No matter which APN you select the Phone and SMS will operate normally.
When I get a MMS I then go into the APN select screen, select 'OptusMMS' back out, activate 'Flight Mode', wait a short time, then de-activate 'FlightMode'. When I see the 3G/H/E symbols turn up I then open the MMS message and hit 'Download'. Your picture should be downloaded shortly.
Similar applies when I want to use data. go into the APN select screen, select 'Optus Yesinternet' back out, activate 'Flight Mode', wait a short time, then de-activate 'FlightMode'. When I see the 3G/H/E symbols turn up all is good to go.
Using 'Optus MMS' even though you see the 3G/H/E symbols on your signal strength you can not access data, internet etc. And similar using 'Optus Yesinternet' you can not download Multimedia files.
You now need to decide what is more important. Do you spend more time using data and only get the occasional MMS or do you send and receive a lot of MMS and only use occasional data? If Data the leave the phone using 'Yesinternet' or 'internet' as your APN. If MMS then leave the phone using 'MMS as your APN.
I'm not sure what the difference between 'Yesinternet' and 'interent' is.
They both appear to have the same settings!!

Optus have decent signal and plans. They are also linked with TPG which is great for a cheap deal. BUT all the other providers are dominating in signal and quality.

So, I recently got the Moto X Dev Edition and went to the at&t store to get myself a nano sim card as the phone did not come with one. Previously I was on the HTC One Developer edition.
Anyways...last weekend, I started getting text messages from at&t saying, I have an LTE device and should call at&t to get myself an LTE Data Plan. I was like...wth..., so I called and they said that I was on the 3gb - $30/month 4g plan and they had the same plan, for the same price but it was called an LTE plan, just terminology I guess, so they activated that but I am still getting 4g speeds meaning about 5mb download. I am in Cleveland, Ohio area and had never experienced anything like this.
Is there any setting on the phone that I am not aware of causing this? I can't find any setting or option to fix this issue.
I'd appreciate any help...
Thanks

Same problem with me except by the time someone in customer support finally figured out what was going on they had already wasted three hours and a week of my phone not working properly. I'm still not sure my account is properly fixed and won't really know for a few more days when I can see the bill.
Bottom line people, do not give them a new IMEI number. They need to keep the old number otherwise their system will kick you off LTE and it will be a ***** to sort things out.

So, are you back on LTE with your Developer Edition? If so, how did they figure it out? I had to give my IMEI number to them because they were issuing me a new NANO Sim card, so they needed all that info.

Yes, back on LTE after a insane amount of time on the phone talking to people that act like they have a clue but in the end just messed things up even more. To answer your questions, because the dev edition isn't a "AT&T" phone, their system doesn't know what to do with your phone.
You can either give them a IMEI of a LTE compatible phone that is in their system (aka a AT&T branded phone) or they will try to switch you to some non-LTE plan (without your knowledge). If you have your older IMEI number then give that to them instead.
Here is what they did with me. Feel my pain. This was a couple of weeks ago. I went into a AT&T store and got a nano-sim card. They handed me one without problems. Mistake one. I should have just waited and had the store do the entire process but I had done the similar thing
with T-mobile the day before (regular sim to micro sim) and it was painless so I figured AT&T surely would go smoothly.
I got the Dev Edition on Monday. I called AT&T and gave rep my new IMEI and ICCD sim card serial. Everything was switched over and appeared to work. On Wed I got a e-mail and text saying the same thing in the OP. Okay that's odd cause I am on a LTE unlimited grandfathered.
I called and got a great rep (so I thought). She said that my plan was set to non-LTE unlimited and was changed on the 8th. I explained everything and she supposedly switched it back. Okay… I got off the phone and was heading home for lunch. I rebooted the phone so it could
re-register on the network. NO DATA! I called back when I got home (on lunch break) and was on the phone for the next hour and a half with the third rep. The lady I was speaking with earlier apparently deleted my data plan and did not save the changes when she said I was back
to my old LTE plan. At this point I am pissed. My grandfathered unlimited data was gone. He also couldn't add the grandfathered plan back in because it was a legacy plan. He would have to add me to a current plan and open a trouble ticket to get me back on what I was supposed to have.
He tried to add me back in but the IMEI that they had in the system for me wasn't allowing him to add me to a LTE plan. I dug around (thank goodness for Exchange) and found my old SGS3 IMEI and gave that to him. That worked, BUT, it required a voice plan change also. Okay.. two trouble tickets to open.
He put me on 550 rollover and 3gb data. I think the price increased from my regular $63 a month to $90 a month after those changes. Oh.. my 3700 rollover minutes vanished also. Okay, so I was back on data but was temporarily on plans that increased my bill by $30 a month. Not happy and at this point have zero faith in AT&T to fix their mistakes. He gave me $50 credit for my time. Probably within two hours I got a e-mail saying that the data plan was adjusted so I was back on unlimited web. It took me another week to get back to my regular 450 rollover plan and another
few days to get my existing rollover minutes back to what they were. It took four more calls to get this all sorted out. Well, so I thought. I should have over 3500 rollover minutes on my account. I have 28 days left in my cycle and right now it's showing 900 minutes left. SO… looks like I will be making yet another call to AT&T customer support to see what the hell happened to my rollover minutes. As you can see this has been more of a pain then it was worth. I should have just cut the sim card myself and never, never, gotten AT&T involved in the first place. This is incompetence at a very high level. It's almost as bad as my experience trying to get a $30 T-mobile plan working again.

and after spending more time on the phone with AT&T, they deleted my previous rollover minutes (again) and had to add them back. I'm sure this will be a regular dance at the start of every cycle now. so unhappy.
Well, took your advice and called AT&T, gave them the IMEI number of my first Moto X and now it's all back to normal, I got my LTE back.

What ROM, kernel, mods, etc are you running? Is your APN set up correctly? This could be caused by a number of things.

Did you use the sim from another phone in the note 4 like I did? Or did you get a new sim when you got the new phone? I just talked to AT&T and they said my sim is not on their network, so I should go get s new sim tomorrow myself.

No sir. Used the new tmo Sim that came with the phone. Had the phone since launch, issues started a month ago.
The worst part is I can see all the networks, I just can't register to them!

I bought a note 4 from t mobile a month ago. My girlfriend got her s5 from them the next day. I have a cell tower less than 1 mile away serving up 4glte. Her s5 stays connected to 4glte constant and consistent. Note 4 will not stay connected to 4glte. It connects to G and mostly E. A royal PIA. I have to manually re-connect, sometimes several times to get back on 4glte. What I have done to try to fix: New SIM, Factory reset, Manual re-connect via T-Mobile. Also run with no apps.
Now keep in mind the tmo s5 is working perfectly.
Tmo's solution: Send them 20 dollars and they send me a refurbished phone(to replace my 1 month old flagship that hasn't worked right since day one).
F**k T-Mobile

I have been complaining for a month now. Got a new Sim and no fix. They are sending me a replacement phone for free. Tried to charge me $5 but I complained and they removed it.
Not sure the replacement will do anything but hoping for the best.
Try to ask more. Some agents seem more willing than others to assist.

All of the agents have been pretty good at attempting to remedy the problem up to phone replacement. My problem is they will not guarantee that I will receive a new unit. They have the refurb option which is complete bulls**t on a brand new phone. Especially when TMob separates the phone from the mobile plan. "Buy a new phone phone from us and if it doesn't work properly out of the box we'll send you some other persons problem for a slight fee" should be their slogan. And they are trying to pound on Verizon lol. I hope you get it working on your end. Good luck.
