SOLVED: AT&T terrible speedtest results (fixed mine)

I've seen some AT&T customers complain about terrible speeds and latency when doing speed tests. I too had this issue. Before the fix, I was getting about 20 kbps downstream and 400+ latency. After, I'm getting 6+ mbps and 80-120 latency. I fixed mine by adding a new APN with these settings. To change them, go to SETTINGS -> MORE... -> MOBILE NETWORKS -> ACCESS POINT NAMES. From here, either select the existing one or click the menu key to create a new one. Also, if you create a new one, make sure to select it after you're done making it. (you have to tap the radio to select it because tapping the name will edit it but NOT select it).
The blank ones are blank/unspecified. You probably only need to change APN and APN type (the other shown values were already like this on mine). For APN type, those are commas separating the terms. I posted a link to 3 shared screenshots so you can see what it should look like.

Do you get H+ insted H?? if u dont mind can you check in Settings, about phone and Status. in mobile network type HSPA:10 or HSPA+:15????

Didn't work for me (data gets disabled), however the only APN settings that have worked so far are the stock ones with wap.cingular.com. I have tried numerous other ones to no avail..

you have to have a lte data plan for this apn to work.

Thanks..I honestly didn't think there was a difference between the LTE and non-LTE plans at AT&T. But my dad is in charge of the plan, so maybe I am missing something.

I'm using the same Stock AT&T PTA apn I've used since the Infuse 4g and it works perfect. Stock APN I couldn't even get 20kbps most of the time. Now I can at least get 5.7 (about what I'm used to in my area).

I'm using the pta APN since I came from an LTE phone so my sim is provisioned for it. I usually got about 8-9mbps down in this location when on my sgs3 so if these speeds stick and improve I'm quite happy. Obviously uploads are the biggest hit but not too worried about that

It wouldn't work for me with the default WAP.Cingular APN. As soon as I changed it to the hspa+ one, speed test worked.
For this of you on the pta APN, does your MMS work? If so, do you still have the WAP.Cingular APN in the list (just not checked)? Or is the pta APN the only one listed?
I too have my Sim provisioned for lte, but if I use the pta APN, I get great data speeds, but no MMS. Thanks.

Many thanks for posting this! My internet donwload speeds went from .001 MBPS download to 2.97MBPS. I hate to say this, but it still felt snappy even at .001 MBPS. My Galaxy S2 was so slow to process websites.

solved minus mms......

I get faster speeds with the new APN, but I can't get H+ in areas where is was able to get it with my S3. Anyone have a solution?

thanks for this!

Posted this on another similar thread. Worked for me. It's the Cingular.WAP APN but slightly different.
"Anybody still having issues with att H+ speeds try the APN settings from this link
http://nerdynerdnerdz.com/blog/2011/07/23/att-apn-mms-settings-android/
My speed increased by 600% when I switched to this, from barely 1Mbps to 6+Mbps. I also can run the speed test app now whereas before I could not."

So do you use the OP setting plus this? or the one posted a few posts up? also is a LTE data plan def required?

Yes, add this to the OP and everything will work.

I came across this topic on rootzwiki a while back and it's helped me a few times. Obviously it's for ATT only.

Droid 4 LTE APN settings

I was messing around trying to get LTE to work again and I am hoping it is simply an APN fix. Can someone give me the correct APN settings for Verizon?

stock jellybean?

think it's unlikely an apn issue
my full apn file made with APN Backup & Restore
apn app needs to be moved to /system/pri-app if you want to restore my apns-20140822120801.xml (remove .txt from file name)
from Slim 4.4 build 7.0

Just restored your apns but it only picks up 3G

open dialer
dial
Code:
*#*#4636#*#*
(when you press the last *, testing menu will open)
select phone information
scroll down to
set prefered network type
is LTE/CDMA/EvDo selected?

Just checked and LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) was what it was on. LTE/CDMA auto (PRL) is the closest.

It seems that every time the APN will reset to EHRPD - Verizon Internet. If I try to select the LTE internet option it doesn't even pick up a data signal, and then goes back to EHRPD.

im using CM11 M9 and i have my network type set to
CDMA+LTE/EvDo
my APN is
LTE - Verizon Internet
Name: LTE - Verizon internet
APN: VZWINTERNET
Proxy: not set
Port: not set
username: not set
password: not set
server: not set
MMSC: not set
MMS proxy: not set
MMS port: not set
MCC: 311
MNC: 480
Authentication type: not set
APN type: default,dun
APN protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN roaming protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN enable/disable: enabled (greyed out with box checked)
Bearer: LTE
MVNO type: none
MVNO value: not set
a few notes for me: whenever i try to switch to CDMA/EvDo auto (3g) it doesnt connect to data until i turn on wifi or set airplane mode for at least 30 minutes then re-enable the radio. if the connection drops for whatever reason i have to redo this step so im better off leaving LTE on all the time because its way more reliable than 3g which is really weird in my opinion and im not sure if its the rom that causes the problem since i installed cm11 as soon as i got this phone

So should I try to set that APN and then put it in airplane mode for an hour or so?

force ipv4

Hi,
a week ago i posted here having problems with push messages in standby modus on wifi.
After spending a lot of time fixing the problem i found out that it is caused by ipv6.
I asked my provider to disable ipv6 and now the problem is gone. But they told me that its only possible to deactivete ipv6 temporarily. Its there a way or an app to force my z3c to obtain an ipv4?
Thanks

I would like to disable ipv6 support over 3G too, but actually I can't. Doing 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6' makes my connection not working although the H+ mark is still there. Is there any way to disable IPv6 over GSM?

APN can be changed, but you have to find correct settings of your provider.
I had issue with VPN connection caused by ipv6 by my mobile provider - solution for this is to force ipv4.

If I set IPv4 in my APN my connection dies, how else can I force IPv4?

Usually apn for ipv4 has different name than ipv6.
Example Orange in Poland ipv6 APN name was: "internetipv6"
ipv4 APN name is: "internet"

I'm using Orange-Poland, my APNs: internetipv6 (selected as default) and euinternet - how can I force the change between APNs?

Just edit name of default apn (delete ipv6 at the end).
If you tap of that APN you can change all settings.
Edit:
When you tap on default apn scroll down and switch ipv6 to ipv4 protocol

If I change APN protocol from IPv6 to IPv4 in orangeipv6 my connection dies. The second problem is I cannot change to default APN, next internetipv6 is orange dot, if I click on other APN it gets me to its settings - I have no idea how can I change default APN.

Click on name of that apn after you get into it and simply delete ipv6 from it's name.
PS. i Wrote you private message.

Got it, now it works as I want.

Cellular strength and throughput

We know how much you like to stream, ahem, "videos", and so cellular data is mega-important. Rate this thread to express how you think the Razer Phone 2's LTE performs. A higher rating indicates that it's fantastic: throughput is excellent and signal strength is top-notch.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add.

Yeah. I have a second SIM card that is for my work phone from AT&T and when I place it into the RP2 the same thing happens.
This might be an issue with the unlocked variant. :/
It's still not a deal breaker hahaha

Thanks for the suggestion, however when I enter this sequence on the phone app it just clears itself and does not bring up anything.
I also tried hitting the call button after I type the sequence and an error pops up stating that there is a connection problem and it is an invalid MMI code.
I'll look up online to see what it means and update you all if I find anything.

It's one of the magic dialer codes thats supposed to work on most Androids I believe. It's a sort of service menu. Razer seems to have disabled most of them in the production builds. *#06# is the only one I've found so far which still works (probably more out of necessity though)

Alright this is what I have done so far and it looks promising!
1. Entered the code *#*#4636#*#* in the stock phone app on the dial
- from here I changed the following setting in the phone information tab
-- Set Preferred Network Type > LTE/TD-SCDMA/UMTS
-- Clicked on the top right corner (3 Dots) > Select Radio Band > United States
2. Now I also went to the AT&T Support site for phones that are not provided by them and they recommend to make some changes on the phone's network settings as well. Here is the Link to the Changes that need to be made...
https://www.att.com/esupport/article.html#!/wireless/KM1218306?gsi=QMyE1Pw

As of now, I am able to get LTE+ and in the past 3 to 4 hours my signal has not dropped at all!
I hope this helps you all

What happens here is pretty weird. LTE on band 20 works like a charm. LTE+ is good. LTE on band 3 doesn't work.
It is connected to network, I have good signal and I can easily get the list of connected towers, but I have no data and so I cannot surf the internet.
I tried to edit the build.prop by disabling CDMA and enabling LTE on GSM, I changed the default network. Still, I got no luck.
Anyone experiencing something similar?

Hello everyone. So if we are experiencing weak or dropped signals with the Razer Phone 2, what preferred network type should one use that is with Verizon. I already contacted them to change my profile to a CDMA less account so I can receive texts and voice mails.

try (*#800#) it should bring up a warning.. enter.. you'll see a list of ...... choose fist option (logkit) you want to find (function switch) select it.... then you will be able to enable voice over LTE and Wi-Fi calling has other options also..

I hate to be too much of a pain in the rear, what would you do to setup APNs for straight talk? It won't let me even name the APN so it won't let me save it. Let alone add any other information.

Hi Can anyone give some tips getting the nexus 6 working on Visible Wireless. It supports Volt and Verizon and wifi calling. I have gotten internet working. My phone is a stock verizon release unrooted. I have add the other APNs with an app because verizon locked the add and edit of some of the APN data.

Maybe the hidden menu can tell you something: *#*#4636#*#*
VoLTE and WiFi-calling require some hidden settings that are not supposed to be changed by the user.
Here is a thread about changing them on OnePlus, but I don't think you can do it on a Nexus: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...volte-vowifi-german-carriers-t3817542/page141
Also, some phone companies check the phone model, and only enable it on the models they support. Maybe customer support can unblock for you.

Volte is on in that menu and works on regular verizon fine. Also I have tried LTE only mode since visible is supposedly only 4G. If anyone has gotten more than data working with Visible Wireless on the NEXUS 6 please let me know. I did have flash in and out of airplane mode after the reboot to get data to work. Thanks for reading my post and replying. I will look into the 801 code more. Also the http vtext.com servlests mms is missing on two of the APNs from my original post due to the forum restrictions for new posters so sorry that piece is missnig for anyone testing.

I can't enter more than one APN on my Nexus 6. With VSBLINTERNET APN, I can only use data. *#*#4636#*#* reports "emergency calls only." Has anyone been able to somehow force multiple APNs? Anyone able to get network calls to work?

I've tried very hard, including on multiple ROMs including stock without success. On the stock ROM I was able to add the VSBLINTERNET APN manually and use data, but never calls. If desperate you could always get a VoIP provider (Google Voice didn't seem to work for some reason.)
