Nexus 7 3G: Confirmed working with Straight Talk

After seeing the thread about the TMo prepaid plan not compatible with the N7 + 3G I became worried but my N7 and Straight Talk sim(AT&T) arrived today and I can confirm that data functionality is working. I couldn't find any one else on the internet that could actually confirm this so decided to make an informative thread.
As an aside, has anyone else had problems with ST on their N7, TMo or AT&T?

I believe I've read other successful reports of using AT&T ST with their N73G.
However, all the reports so far (which is like 2-3) have been with the AT&T version. I'm curious if the T-Mobile one works too. Since they seem to actively block tablet IMEIs from voice plans, there is a strong possibility it won't.
Have you gotten SMS working on ST?

Mvno have different APN and are never blocked. Solavei works. It does use T-Mobile.

It sounds like you're confirming data, but what about voice calls (not VoIP)?

It's disabled in the ROM and devs haven't figured out how to get it working. So there's no way to actually confirm voice calls working on a SIM.

AT&T SIM with Apple data plans working
I took an AT&T SIM out of an iPhone with the iPhone unlimited data plan and put it into my N7 3G and it is working. I had to create a new APN with the proper settings for it to work. The Broadband APN is for SIMs provisioned with an LTE data plan. I had to setup the old wap.cingular APN.

I did get SMS to work with Go SMS; I'm not sure if it is operator error or not but I can't seem to send an MMS with Go SMS. Is that a limitation of Go SMS?

So you can send and receive SMS but not MMS? I would guess that it's an APN issue. Even people with ST for phones have had issues. It seems to work better if your split data and MMS into two different APNs. Also, don't use a proxy.
I never used GoPro so can comment on it. But this app should work:

I bet the Tmobile issue using a phone sim can be resolved by backing up the the IMEI and corrupting it. Same method used on the original Galaxy Tab to use a phone sim.

As a recent owner of an OG G-Tab I hope for the same thing. However the difference between our Nexus 7 and the OG G-Tab is the presence of the system/efs folder, which one could erase and thereby change the IMEI (apparently after erasing it the IMEI would repopulate and the G-Tab would be recognized as a generic GSM device on whatever network you were on.) The Nexus 7 doesn't have an equivalent folder. From what I've read the efs was unique to Samsung devices.

Hi. Would you mind telling me which T-Mobile UK SIM/Deal you have that works with your N7?
I picked up one of these a couple of weeks ago. It works fine in a MiFi but the N7 just keeps saying that the SIM is being removed and than inserted. Another SIM I've tried seems to work.
I'm using the 4.2.1 update.

Working fine on my N7 3G with a standard T-Mobile PAYG Voice sim (Ordered from T-Mobile Website), Activated it in an iphone to get the free 12 months web then transferred to the N7 3G and works fine, no odd messages like you are getting. Have 3 N7 3Gs at the moment in the family 1 on T-Mobile with the free 12 month web deal. 1 on Virgin with the free 12 month web deal. and one currently on giffgaff that will go on T-Mobile next month (Already have a T-Mobile sim for that one and it works OKas well)
Problem you are having is strange, have you tried other network sims in your N7 to rule out a hardware problem.?

Yep, I've tried a gash GiffGaff SIM I ordered but never used and it seems to work OK. It certainly shows a stable connection to the 3G network but I'm unable to test data because it's not activated.
The one thing I have just noticed is that the TM SIM is noticably thicker than other SIMs, I'm wondering if that is pushing the contacts in the device to a position in which they don't work or touch something they shouldn't. I'll have a look later and see if I can get the SIM in (and, more importantly, out) without the carrier and see if that works.
Could you please direct me to the Virgin deal you have, if all fails I'll try one of those. I would prefer to use the TM SIM in the Nexus but I have a use for it elsewhere if I can't.
Thanks for your reply.

The Virgin one, you have to buy as phone for £30, with the phone you get a sim card with £10 credit and a voucher for 12 Months free internet (1Gb a month) (Its a scratchcard you text the number from the card and it activates straight away so not tied to any type of phone etc). You can of course sell the phone on so that reduces the initial £30 outlay!.
Here is a link to the thread, and there is a link to the deal in there (Although it saves postage if you have a local Virgin store you can pick one up from)

I bought an iphone microsim from here http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/free-text-sim-cards/
I intended putting it in an iPhone 4S I have access to, but that was locked to vodaphone, so I couldn't. I then put £20 on the Sim and purchased a 6 month internet booster (http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile-phones/price-plans/pay-as-you-go/boosters/) That said, the sim worked from the moment I put it in (i.e. before I bought the booster).
I think it was Flashyphotos that detailed how to do it all earlier in this thread.

And yes, the virgin deal doesnt sound too bad at all... better than what I ended up with, but my N7 is working fine away from home on 3g and can text and that will do for now.
I need to figure out a way of making calls on it "just in case", but I'll get there.

I like the T-Mobile deal better than the Virgin one to be honest, the Virgin one has a 1Gb per month hard cap, where the T-Mobile one has a Softcap for Streaming/Torrents at 500Mb (Continues to work after 500Mb but at a throttled rate, and browsing etc is totally unlimited.
So no chance of running into a cap part way through the month like on the virgin one. I think the £20 for 6 months is a really good deal if you cant get the iphone deal or after that runs out, and will be happy to keep paying £20 every 6 months on mine for as long as I can,

Another quick question if I may; was this a microSIM or a normal SIM you cut down? The TM SIM I have is a CombiSIM, the other SIMs I've tried that work are SIMs that have been cut down. The TM SIM I'm having problems with has smaller contact lands than the 'normal' SIMs. I'm wondering if it's lining up with the contacts in the Nexus. Cheers - Y

[Q] Developer Edition - LTE Issues

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

Anyone???

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.
---------- Post added at 09:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 AM ----------
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.

[Issue Resolved] AT&T was refusing to allow my Nexus 5 on LTE

I just swapped my SIM out from my Nexus 4 to my Nexus 5 and was receiving only HSPA. Not a complete surprise, a short time later I got a text saying my plan needed to be enabled for LTE and to call customer service. I called customer service and the agent told me that at this time AT&T will not activate the Nexus 5 to operate on their LTE Network because it was not sold by AT&T. This is on a regular post paid contract plan.
UPDATE: I called back yesterday evening and asked to speak to a Tier 2 rep, the Tier 1 asked why, told them the situation, they put me on hold, then came back and put me through to a Tier 2 rep who asked my IMEI number and the SIM serial and was then able to provision the phone for LTE.

That's not quite a nice thing. I don't think providers should just tell You not to use a device on their network.

Mine comes in tomorrow and I'm already on an unlimited LTE SOC code for my One X+. Will post results tomorrow evening.

That's really odd. My brother got his N5 today and it gets LTE just fine. It gets a stronger signal than my Note 2 even

Just hang up and speak to another agent.

I tried calling to switch my plan from regular plan to LTE plan and I was told I would need to provide them with the IME for the phone. I may try to call again before I get the Nexus 5 just to see what they say. Worse case scenario, i'll go with T-mobile.

Why do they care what phone you use? And why do they even need to know?

Call center CSR's is a crap shoot. If your data plan in not provisioned for LTE, simply go to your local ATT store and tell them to switch your data plan for LTE along with an LTE sim. If they say you can't, simply ask to speak to someone else who can help you. Just because it wasn't sold by them doesn't mean $hit.

Ask for Tier 2 tech support. Customer service is more or less useless in a situation like this. Tier 2 will actually be happy to help with something other than people whining about the iOS7 update. Trust me on that one. Worst case, you'll have to get an IMEI off an LTE device. If you run in to that roadblock, PM me and I'll give you an IMEI off one of my spare phones.

It's standard crap from regular customer service. They really aren't told about anything other than billing issues and plan changes. Something as mundane to you or me as changing APN settings in an unlocked phone is beyond them. Tech support, on the other hand, was always a great help.
Simply changing the type of SIM card is not what's needed, as 3G, HSPA+, and LTE all have different SOC codes in AT&T's system. Provisioning is what matters in this case.

This happens with every Nexus device since the IMEI's aren't in AT&T's database. For some reason, AT&T needs to have a proper LTE phone IMEI on your account for LTE to work. Just google and find an IMEI (from an eBay auction, etc), call up AT&T and tell them to put that IMEI on your account. Boom, LTE works fine.
Or just go in a store and have a rep do it for you. They will just pull an IMEI off of a display model, load it onto your account and off you go into LTE heaven.
No need to over-react. Just a provisioning issue.

Pulled my Sim out of my N4 plugged it right into the N5 and instantly got LTE, sounds like you need to try a different agent/store.

Yep, I did this with my Nexus 4, although I did have them provision it with "Data Unlimited on 4G for LTE Smartphone Enterprise", so when I get home I should be able to just swap the sim card in =).

I just popped my ATT sim in my n5 and was on LTE by default, you got a rep that doesnt know any better.

Mine works fine on LTE in the mid-Michigan area.

Yeah, call back in later and get your plan amended to the regular Data Unltd LTE, because that Enterprise SOC code (unless you need Enterprise provisioning) costs $45/month.

Nano Sim Adapter - Activation Issue

Hey guys, my N6 is coming on thursday, and I recieved a nano-sim (4ff) from verizon to activate on my old device (galaxy nexus) with an adapter to ensure that it would be ready to swap over when the n6 arrived. I just popped it in and booted the phone and got a message "The Sim Card detected is not compatible with your device, please insert a compatible SIM or visit your nearest Verizon Wireless store..."
There are options to 'use network as is' or 'don't use this network' in the settings. I don't want to mess anything up on my account, did anyone else run into this issue?

what did they say was the problem?

not sure, their website says that using adapters is a no go in order to 'provide optimal service', but I told the newest customer service rep that I spoke with that tech support sent me the nano early for an expected new device and that it was okay and it worked. However, we had to add the imei of my gnex because data didn't work initially.

Just came from GNex 2 days ago to N6
I used my micro sim, (LTE) and cut it down with the Aerb sim cutter I bought from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009P16FKY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It worked flawlessly in cutting the SIM down, just had to sand some minor burrs along the edge with the included sandpaper. Popped the SIM in and has worked perfectly. Texts, phone, LTE everything. The cutter also comes with an adapter that I can use to pop the SIM back into my GNex as backup if I have any problems as well.
As an aside, I had been reading boards for over a month on the size, screen and battery of the N6 being subpar. All of it is baloney. It feels good in the hand, the screen is great (although admittedly not as good as the Note 4), is super fast and I have been getting good battery life as well.

1) is your Nexu6 on Vzw?
2) im sure devs will get the screen temps worked out and get better colors...

Yes, GNex is a VZW only phone. BTW I did order a backup nano SIM from VZW customer service (I heard stores get you varied results) as a backup in case my cut didn't work. I just told them I bought an HTC One M8 from ebay and that I needed a new SIM. They fedex'd it to me an now I have it here as backup also. I just don't need to go through activation with the old micro SIM - merely cut and replace and good to go!

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

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.
