So I switched to pre paid and I'm loving it. I get the same speeds as on a plan,(my area sucks) but unlimited data, for less money. 2 thumbs up!
What carryer you on? What was the specific plan?
So that we may all have a lookieloo and benefit from your shared joy
AT&T $50 unlimeted go phone. Buy a crappy phone activate it and then put the sim in your thrill,but you gota activate it on the crappy phone. Don't tell them your using a smart phone.
Or straight talk for 45/mo
Just order an att compatible sim card from them and your good yo go... full 4g
And so I have spoken it.. and so it shall be.
What r u running I just got one on prepaid stock it doesn't work on data.

I'm running thrillseeker. If you activate the sim through the thrill then att knows your on a smart phone and want to charge you extra for data. activate the sim through an old crappy go phone and it will work.
Never knew that!
Just a quick question, If I got a Skyrocket. Activated on a crappy phone, then got the prepaid thing for AT&T would I get 4G LTE speeds if my area has it or no.. Thank you
IDK? Not sure how all that works? The pre paid card says 3g???

I have a verizon note 3 sm-n900v that I want to use on AT&T. I have rooted it and accessed the service mode screen and enabled b4. I have set up the APN and I am able to send and receive texts and make and receive calls. My data works, but it is on H and H+. I can not get on LTE or send MMS messages....can someone please help me?!
I have read that AT&T runs on a different LTE band, so I am just checking to see if this is true and also ask that if I pay for a factory unlock if it will fix it so that it operates the way it is supposed to.
Thanks

Well Verizon is CDMA where att is GSM, totally different and not sure it is even possible.. Odd that you can even see it.. this is probably your issue. Only other provider I think you can fully work on is sprint (and other mini ones that are CDMA)

actually tmobile works fine on it. You can switch the APN to gsm and it works just fine. The verizon note 3 is the only one that came factory unlocked to run on any network...you just need to tweak the settings.

I know tmobile works fine as it is GSM, but never heard of Verizon or sprint working. Think last i seen those 2 didn't use a sim card like att which could lead to other issues as well

I was having some slow data connection so decided to call this AM. To my surprise they are telling me that my phone is not compatible with the Cricket LTE towers. It even shows I have LTE on the status bar.
How is that possible other than them not wanting to give me LTE since I did not buy the phone through them?
I might as well switch to Straight Talk if that is the case.

They're flat wrong and just trying to get you off the phone. With the Lollipop update the Pure edition supports all of AT&T's LTE bands (2/3/4/5/7/17) so it also supports Cricket since they are an AT&T MVNO.
If you check out Howard Forums you'll see that you're not alone in experiencing slow LTE speeds.
http://www.howardforums.com/forumdisplay.php/336-Cricket-AIO
On the Cricket website there is a compatibility section where you enter the IMEI number it says the phone is only compatible with 3g not LTE. Makes no sense.
Just gonna keep it simple and switch to Net10 or Straight Talk instead of worrying about it. If they want my business they shouldn't be inaccurate!
I'm on cricket wireless and I have to build an APN for LTE to work.

Go to cricket's website and search for APN settings. Enter those on your phone. My XT 1095 has had perfect connectivity on crickets LTE using those settings.

Thanks, works great! I was confused by the one post about "building" a APN lol... I thought I was missing something but was more than likely just poor English. I got it working though even with a trimmed down micro SIM lol.
When I first put my cricket sim in, they automatically pushed all the apn settings to my phone.

I never send mms but I just tried it to make sure it worked and their pushed settings was wrong as well. I did the same as you. You would think that they would get the apn setting right. I've had LTE the entire time, just no mms.

My theory is this: for whatever reason cricket thinks our phone is 3G only (run your imei on cricket's compatibility checker) and therefore pushes apn settings meant for 3G phones.

Are you using service through AT&T or using a AT&T sim through Straight talk or some other subsidiary? I would also look into the apn settings and make sure it is setup properly.

Did you download and use the LTE Discovery App? It needs to reset your modem. Also double check to make sure you entered the apn exactly the same. No phantom spaces, etc. There should be no spaces in the "apn type".
If you still aren't getting data I have one more apn you can try.

I'm gnna put screenshots, are you able to get lte ?
I have no problem getting LTE on my Note 4 using AT&T'S network.
Screen shots below. I gets decent speeds, not the crazy 40 mbs like some people get, but that is mainly because of the area I live in.
If I am closer to the city I get 35 to 50 mbs down load and 10 to 15 upload.

I am using a T-Mobile Note 4 on ATT network and have no issues. First of all make sure LTE is enabled on your number/simcard. If not call the customer care and ask them to enable LTE on your line. They will ask your device IMEI number and then enable it. If not u will only get a 4G signal on your phone
If you are having trouble getting data on your device, then use these APN settings

I have tried that one already :/
The service rep said this "You are getting LTE on your other lines. Because the device that being use on the line is sync on your account. Since the device that is sync on the line that ends with 1521 is the iPhone 6 Plus. The Note 4 does not receive data service. Because it is registered on the iPhone 6 plus." how legit is that?
If u have a phone on contract on that line, then I use guess it is difficult. Or you can go to an ATT store and say that u lost your sim card. Ask for a new one and say that it is for an Android LTE smartphone.

According to this thread, you also have to go to settings, more networks, mobile networks, network mode and change to LTE/WCDMA/GSM.
I just bought a T-Mobile Note 4 to use on AT&T, but I am waiting for an unlock code. I really hope I don't have any issue.

I know people are successfully getting LTE on T-mobile Note 4 on AT&T service, though I am not sure which APN settings they're using. Looks like there are at least 3 in this thread to try... but it may be a block from AT&T ? I can't imagine that's the case, but I honestly don't know exactly how much control they (AT&T) have over what bands a given sim card can receive if its not matched to the imei on file in their system? I guess a lot?
OFF TOPIC: How much did you guys pay for the unlock codes? (curious)
LTE works great on this phone with AT&T service. Been using it without issue for months.
I don't know why this person is having issues. Only thing I can think is that the Sim card is bad.
Paid $30 for the unlock.
My AT&T account doesn't even show a smart phone. See the screen shot below. As long as it says LTE device then it's not AT&T causes the problem.

I don't know why I'm having issues honestly. I'm trying everything that's thrown at me , I even got a new Sim card yet no LTE. I don't even care if it shows LTE indicator , but it's that my speeds are so slow. 2-5mbps download while on my iPhone 6plus I would get 50mbps download.
So I got the Dual Sim version of the Note 8 and popped in a T-Mobile SIM. I've been using it and I love it, but one thing that bothers me is that I've never seen my phone display LTE. It's always 4G. Is this a glitch or is this how it's supposed to be? Any help would be appreciated.
you may need to flash the T-Mobile CSC

4G is LTE in other countries, in USA they call it LTE, its normal since you are probably getting LTE but it only shows 4G icon. My Samsung SM-T819Y on T Mobile does the same thing, connects to the T Mobile LTE network but only shows 4G. No problems with speeds and connectivity.
So to answer your question, its normal and supposed to be like that.

Hi Everyone,
I am having issues with my device i have the MS-950f/DS bought it in Singapore Airport,
I am living in Houston Texas 77054 , the APN is default one, I have 4g ok but when trying to make a call it throws a message that says: Not registered in red.
To make a call i have to change the network to 3g/2g and then it works.
It does not happen when i am at work. Maybe the signal i can get at home is different. I went to T mobile and they said that everything looks good.
I dont know what to do..
