So, my work lets me swap around phones...so they got me the iPhone 4 a while ago...I was on Android before that, thought I'd give iOS a spin...anyhoo, I wanted to go back to my Vivid but I didn't want to have to keep bugging my cellphone lady at work to keep changing the SIMs around (micro to regular or whatnot). So I wanted to see if I could make a little adapter (easy enough...tons of videos and whatnot online) and then see if I could get the Vivid to act normal with the data.
Put the SIM in and phone part worked fine but of course no data. So I started hunting down various APN settings...trying this and that...at one point I had notifications working..but browsers and other apps still couldn't use data. Finally, I just starting toying around and found settings that let me have data! Figured I would post them in case anyone else is in a similar situation.

There you have it. "Authentication type" was the kicker it seemed...none of the sites I found (even here) mentioned it...so i just always left it to "None"...but then decided to change it and that seemed to do the trick.
Hope this helps someone.
Hello All,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 phone. I am currently on AT&T. I needed to know the APN settings for it. For the first time i see that at $50 GoPhone has included unlimited data now. So i was hoping to make use of it. I have googled and found out many different settings for it. Some same, some with minor changes. But none of them work. I put I know i wont be able to get LTE. But need the normal settings to start using data service.
I currently have this:

All I see "H" symbol on top appear.
My employer provides me with cell service and to date hasn't cared if I use the Blackberry they provide or put the AT&T SIM in a personal phone. Provided I don't hassle the phone support staff with problems I created, of course. I've used the same SIM in 3 different phones over the past year and haven't had a single issue. I just got a used Atrix HD and discovered that it uses a micro-SIM instead of a regular size. I used a template and cut it down to size (and I think I did it correctly). I put it in the AHD and the SIM is recognized as AT&T but I cannot get data service. On first use with the bone stock ROM, I got a text message and was able to reply to it. Because I have no intention of staying stock, over the past two hours I've done the following:
Rooted
Unlocked bootloader
Installed the ATT-US_BuildA ROM
Wiped that and installed CM10.1 nightly from 05/16
I've not been able to get any data service and now the status is 'In service' for Service state, 'Disconnected' for Mobile network state, and 'Unknown' for Phone Number. Even after cutting down the SIM, I can put it back in my Blackberry and voice and data work just fine. Thus I know the SIM is healthy. Questions:
Is the mini-card slot in the AHD that finicky that a mm difference in card size will dork it up?
The SIM is several years old now. Is it obsolete for the AHD (not withstanding size)?
Are there any settings in the phone that I'm overlooking? The eBay seller was in the US but I do not know the original location of the phone.
Thanks for any advice you can provide. Unfortunately, I can't take it to an AT&T store because the account is my employer's. And my employer really doesn't want to deal with my issue that only exists because they were nice and turned a blind eye to me.
maybe you need to change your APN settings go to settings and under wireless and networks select "more...."
then mobile networks and then access point names select the menu option in the top right and select "New APN" and enter the info below

Thank you!!!!!!!!!
The 4G settings were successful and I'm good to go. I'm very grateful and thanks again!
No problem glad to hear it worked.
Hi everyone, I have an AT&T Moto X that hasn't been able to send or receive multimedia messages, and the data connection doesn't work. From what I've read, I believe it's an APN issue. However, I'm hesitant to mess with the settings because it's still on a basic phone plan, with no data. When I upgraded to the X, AT&T never automatically added a data plan. If possible, I really want to keep it this way, as I have no need for data, but would like to get MMS working.
In this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2238660) post #4 says to leave APN Type set to "phone" if you don't have an LTE plan. Is this a way to make MMS work, but not data? Is there a way to do this at all? And can that be done without AT&T recognizing the smartphone and adding a data plan? Any replies are appreciated :highfive:

You need some sort of data to download multimedia. Does it work with Wifi?

You mean a data connection, not plan, right? It doesn't work over wifi. From what I've read, only Sprint allows downloading MMS over wifi, not AT&T.
I have the same problem, data just all of a sudden quit working and I had an LTE connection with no problems since I got the phone in November, same APN's as you on my phone and both always worked. I now get nothing no 2G, 3G, HSPA+ or LTE. SMS and calls still work but no MMS as expected since it requires a data connection. Spent 2 hours with AT&T both online and in store trying to see if it was anything on their end. Tried every APN they could find for the MotoX, about 4 or 5 different ones they came up with, even tried a new SIM card and still nothing. I did a factory reset last night in desperation and still no data so I finally RMA'd the phone with Motorolla tech support and the new (refurbished) one should arrive tomorrow. We'll see if that fixes it.
You had to send it back? Oh wow. Please post an update when you get your new phone or get it figured out. Thanks for the response!!

Not sure if this is the issue, but AT&T's own site says that the MMSC url should be: http://mmsc.cingular.com
You may give that a shot.
Additionally, from what I understand, MMS is ONLY transmitted through either EDGE, HSPA, HSPA+, or LTE
If you don't have data at all, I'm not sure if you can even send or receive MMS.
Good Luck
Time for a very late update, in case anyone else has this issue. I did finally get my data working, using the 3G APN settings on this page: (first result when you google "att apn settings", I can't post links yet)
Now, I mentioned in my first post that I really only wanted mms, so what I did was make two new APNs - one a copy of my original, non-working APN, but with APN type changed to only "default", and I selected this one. The second APN is the settings from the link above, but with APN type changed to only "mms". So now when I have data turned on, only mms works, not any other mobile data. AT&T still hasn't recognized the smartphone on the account and thus hasn't forced me to add a data plan.
**Reset Network Settings leaves the APS Settings blank**
I have an SM-N960U (factory unlocked) running Android 10. I am using a Red Pocket CDMA-V sim card. At first, the phone wouldn't register Verizon. It was stuck in T-Mobile. Replaced the Sim card and it registered to Verizon, but still no MMS. Everything works - Voice, SMS, Internet/Data - Just won't send or receive MMS. Red Pocket keeps re-provisioning/registering my device and sim, and still no MMS.
Every time I add a new APN Setting, I lose voice, data,and sms. (I've never gotten MMS working)
Red Pocket says that even though the phone is factory unlocked, it may not be a "Verizon Registered Device." Huh?? I touched bases with Verizon, but they had never heard of such a thing. Anyway, I'm stuck with this phone while my other Note gets a new screen installed, and I need MMS for work.
Here are the two APN Settings we've tried. The first one, I found on my own. The second one, came directly from red Pocket Customer Service. Neither worked for MMS.
1) I found this one online. No MMS.

2) This one came from the Red Pocket Rep. MMS still doesn't work and these last two values won't save/stick. (These two values)
