I've been messing with this phone for a week since I got it and I've tried every APN setting I could find. Does anyone who is using the phone on AT&T have MMS working and can they share with me their APN settings? Also of note, I have made sure my plan is a smartphone 4G plan with att. I've talked to 10 people at ATT and they really don't know what they're doing. If I can't get MMS working I'm afraid I'm going to have to return this phone.

Follow the instructions which will download an app that will install the proper APN settings. I fought with the same issue and this made all perfect! MMS to your heart's content.
What APN settings are people using with the AT&T branded Note 3 on Straight Talk? I just bought a new AT&T micro sim from Straight Talk that supposedly allows LTE to work. Please let me know the least restrictive APN settings that works for both LTE and MMS

I'm getting about 18 down on Straight Talk LTE in SLC. For some reason it's consistently 8 Mbs faster than my LTE LG E980 G Pro.

Those appear to be the stock ST settings from the ST website. I am unable to send/receive MMS with those settings. I have tried about a dozen other settings from users who are able to MMS, but none work for me.
I called ST and spoke to three escalating levels of tech support managers over a 58 minute call. None of them were able to help, although one told me my account settings were wrong on their end. The last one told me that they do not guarantee MMS service, and I would only get it if I was near one of their (Straight Talk) towers. I was unaware that they had their own towers. She also told me the N3 does not have the capability to MMS, and that I need a "more advanced" device.
With the HUGE number of N3 users having MMS problems on ST, I am beginning to think ST is limiting MMS to conserve band width. I actually lost the ability to send/receive MMS about 3 weeks before I purchased my N3 while I was still on my N1. That's why I think it is ST. Just my opinion though.

I haven't even tried MMS on my Note 3 yet. So many of the people I communicate with are on Hangouts or FB Messenger I rarely use text anymore. I'll have my old lady send me a MMS text and see what happens. Hopefully MMS issues will be cleared up if Google hopefully integrates Hangouts and MMS here *soon*.
MMS worked on my Note 2 and LG G Pro. I didn't switch to the new tfdata apn sim till about 2 months ago when they launched the LTE service. I have received MMS on my G Pro with that newer SIM.

I've tried a ton of different APN settings I've found on the internet. Nothing has fixed/enabled downloading of MMS.
Everything else works though... I can send MMS and download speeds are great.. just can't download MMS no matter what. The old HSPA sim card worked perfectly though, but I'm not giving up LTE for MMS.
I've tried calling Straight Talk and nothing has helped, they basically told me the device I have isn't guaranteed to get all the features and that it may be my phone that has the problem.
Try leaving the proxy blank. I did this and it seems to be working fine.

Thanks for this suggestion, but....it did nothing to help my lack of mms-ability. I really think ST or att is blocking us as this lack of mms started for me about a month before I got my N3. That correlates with a new att 4g tower installation in my small rural town. Prior to that we were on 2g and I was able to SLOWLY send/receive mms. After the new tower...nothing.
Sms works with all the different apn settings I have tried including this one suggested by enigma2446. Sms even works with the stock att apn while using my ST sim card!

What do you have in the mms proxy?
Try putting in this 66.209.11.33 or 66.209.11.34
< Coming to you live from the planet One X >
mms3.tracfone.com
I've tried both of the 66.209..... before and neither worked for me. It makes no difference what I put in, no mms. It just stopped suddenly the day my N1 went from a 2g to a 4g signal. ST tells me both the N1 and N3 are not mms capable. That's bs as my N1 sent/received mms prior to that signal change. Its not my N3. Its att and ST!

In the *#*# settings it is set for LTE/GSM. I have seen screenshots of the mobile data settings and thought it strange I don't have that option.

I FIXED IT!!! I unfroze stock Messaging app and sent mms with it instead of Handcent. I can send and receive mms now, but I have to send through Messaging only. I can receive through both. I don't understand why. I'm just happy it works. Using ST stock APN settings.

Straight Talk MMS Solution (WORKS FOR ME)
Okay...I feel like a dumba$$ posting this. But if it helps someone else then I won't be as embarrassed
First, the solution: If you are using any messaging app other than the stock apk, make sure you enter the MMSC, MMS Proxy, MMS Port settings WITHIN THE APP YOU USE.
Now, My excuse: I have used Handcent SMS for several years in multiple devices (Dell Streak 5, SG Note (1), and this SG Note 3. The Note 3 is the only device that did not automatically use the device APN settings for sending MMS. I never had any trouble until the last month on my N1. That was about the time att upgraded its towers in my town, and when I updated the Handcent apk to Handcent 5. From that point on, I have been unable to send or receive MMS. I have spent countless hours trying different APN settings and searching for solutions. Two days ago, I discovered that I could send MMS from the native Messaging app (I froze the native apk immediately after rooting my N3 without trying it first), but not from any other app (Textra, Chomp, Handcent, 8sms.....). Today, I re-installed Handcent and went through every setting. I entered the MMS settings WITHIN Handcent and gave it a try. IT WORKED!!! I also tried it with 8sms and was successful. I then re-froze the native apk and the other messaging apps still work!
I have never been able to send/receive mms this quickly. As I said in the title, FOR ME, this solves my mms problems completely. I wish I would have gone through ALL of the Handcent settings from the beginning. I know...STUPID!!!

Thanks for the update krazman. I am having few issues with my N3 APN settings, 4G is not working properly. Can you please share what APNs you are currently using? maybe few screenshots?
Much thanks in advance!
I am using the stock Straight Talk apn settings from the ST website. I never had internet problems. Only messaging app problems. Are you in the USA and on Straight Talk? If Yes, see the ST website. If No, the ST settings will create further problems for you.

A co-worker just picked up a Note3 (off contract) and grabbed a ST sim. All I did was use the ST APN that I had in my Note 2. Working great and slamming 4G. Didn't need to adjust the proxy settings. Just throwing this out there...
So you guys are getting LTE with the att.mvno APN? These are with new SIM's labeled for LTE. My LTE sim won't even work unless it's on tfdata. Interesting.
How fast is it? Most people on the tfdata APN are getting sub 20 down. In the same area people on a GoPhone sim will get 30+.

Hello All,
I have been thinking about traveling to Japan this coming year; I have looked at Verizon's International plan, and it seems like they are very pricey.
I have heard that the VS980 has GSM support, with no LTE, which is fine. I have looked into the h20 network, as they have exceptional prices for their international plan.
I have googled it and have gotten mixed answers, so I came here. I have a h20 sim card, and it pulls the APNs, but does not get any service. Is it that I am using a custom rom?
Thanks for the help in advance! :laugh:

Please someone answer this. I'm in a similar boat.
I'm on the stock verizon ROM. I have a Piranha mobile sim card. I am testing the setup in the US to verify it works. It connects to the T-mobile/Piranha voice and sms network, but data is not working.
Their setup instructions call for setting the apn to openroamer.com, but no mention on the mnc or the mcc values. If I just set the apn to openroamer.com I'm able to save and select it, but as soon as I change the mnc or mcc values to t-mobile the apn disappears after I save. Do I need to set the mnc and mcc values to something specific? I tried to track down exactly what they do, with no luck.
I see mention in another thread that Verizon locks the phones to be unable to connect to other US domestic networks. They also mention that once I'm overseas I'll be fine. I'm skeptical.
I was thinking of going to the t-mobile store to see if I could borrow a sim card to confirm it's a firmware issue. I would rather not root at this point. Any other courses of action?
Thanks for shedding any light.

It turns out to be a activation error for me, after I correctly activated the sim, it worked! (silly me!)
For your problem, I looked on your carriers website/ help websites and there are no values except the APN.
You might need a data plan active. I would try using other carriers, because for me the h20 sim worked with data.
Verizon has no control over what network you go on either, FCC has a couple laws that prevent from Verizon doing that except exclude the hardware needed to connect to other networks.
Sorry I could not help.
I popped my Aio Wireless (AT&T) SIM from my Nexus 4 into my G2 and after a little APN tweaking I had HSPA+ working with no issues. It is my understanding if you have AT&T Band 4 LTE (limited markets) and the correct service providor, it will even connect 4G/LTE on AT&T networks. I swapped my Verizon SIM back in and removed the APN's and all was well on Verizon again. I am stock (KitKat) and rooted with only a few few Xposed modules installed, no custom ROM.
It sounds like, from reading the posts above, the Verizon LG-G2 IS a World Phone and should function straight on from stock on a UK provider like Three just by purchasing a sim and plugging it in then configuring the APN settings !
The problem is that when my Susan went just this morning to a Three store in London, the guy there told her that her Verizon LG-G2 was LOCKED to Verizon network only, and that she would have to do something like obtain an unlock code because the phone would not work on any other provider until she did that.
Verizon's International folks told us earlier that the phone would work fine, given GSM frequency issue restrictions, overseas and there was no need for any UnLock proceedure or code.
Does she just need to find a competent tech at a different Three store ?
Or is she going to be unable to play Ingress the whole two weeks she is over there in England and Scotland ?
Update...both Three and Vodaphone folks in London have now told her that the Verizon LG-G2 is carrier locked and cannot be used without Verizon unlocking it on any other network. So, Verizon was wrong and she is limited to WiFi only for the next two weeks ?

It is very odd. We tried it on a T-Mobile sim over here before she left, I am pretty sure, and it just worked. Still, over in London Three & Vodaphone say it is locked and useless on their networks and their sims don't work.
Maybe it is subsidy-locked ?
Maybe they just didn't set the APN and data settings right at the stores ?

Anyone else on AT&T unable to get LTE? The APN settings that auto-downloaded are correct according to AT&T's documentation, but I'm only getting H+.
Your GPRS could be disconnected. I'd you use app advanced signal status you can look at settings Beyer to see if your set up correctly
MasterBrick SCH-I545 Galaxy S4, XdA mobile app...
I had to use my girlfriends IMEI for her Nexus 5 for it to pick up LTE. Before that, I was only getting H+. Try to get an IMEI of another ATT LTE Android phone and it should do the trick!
Can't get LTE to work
I need some help. I have the new, unlocked, Sony Xperia Z3 Compact and I can't get on the AT&T LTE network as well. Here are the steps I have taken:
The Setup
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 that is on the LTE network with no problem
My AT&T account had a Lumia 820 device tied to my account (and old device of mine) and it worked fine for LTE on all of my future pones, including my S4
I purchased an unlocked D5803 Z3c from Handtec
My Activate Attempt
Went to the AT&T store to pick up a new nano sim card
I gave my new (Sony) IMEI number to the AT&T rep (stupid move, clearly) and they loaded it under my account
With the new sim, my Z3c could place calls and send/receive text messages
Data would not work
My Resolution Steps
I looked up APN settings online and tried several different variations
The HSPA+ Cingular APN settings worked, but left me without LTE service
I could not get the mobile.att.net APN and LTE settings to work
Reading Android Central and XDA, I discovered that others had this issue as well
Using forum advice, I called AT&T
The AT&T rep did confirm that my Sony IMEI number was registering as a "2G" phone, which is why I did not get LTE access
I put one of my extra LTE device IMEI numbers on my account
My phone still won't connect to the LTE network
I notice that even though they registered an LTE phone (and they confirmed it came up LTE), my AT&T account page shows an old flip phone silhouette
The rep noted that there was nothing else they can do...so I basically have to deal with it
I'm posting on XDA to leverage the wisdom of this crowd
I remain confident that this will get resolved, yet frustrated at the same time
I'm at a loss and wonder if I have to activate this nano sim in another supporting device or the like. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your help.
No clue, but AT&T tech support confirmed that my IMEI is registered and my previous two devices were all LTE devices. I have no idea what's going on either.

Are you having the same issue? Do you see the cartoon sketch of a flip phone in your account as well?
What you have to do is give them the imei of an LTE capable phone. It absolutely does not matter that you will not actually be using that phone.
If you already have an LTE phone, just switch your SIM to your z3 when it arrives. It is absolutely unnecessary to call AT&T with your new IMEI. Anything AT&T tells you to the contrary is flat out wrong.
Issue resolved!
Bottom line...do not give these clowns your Xperia IMEI number.
When they entered the IMEI number it flipped my data plan from a grandfathered unlimited plan to a pay-per-use plan with no LTE (why they couldn't figures this out last night, it beats me). He was talking about my wife's plan and her unlimited data. I then noted "mine is unlimited too" and then said it wasn't. You can only imagine how things went from there.
The unrecognized IMEI number automatically switched me off of my plan.
They have me on a temporary 3GB plan, as the support rep couldn't get me back on the unlimited plan. They have to send the change to their back office team and it will take a week to get it back.
My phone now has the 4G icon versus H+.

Nope, it actually still shows my previous LTE-capable phone.
I actually also initially had this issue ; I was sitting in the AT&T &T store on the phone with tech support until the sales rep realized my phone wasn't showing up in the system as an LTE device. He input a bogus LTE IMEI for me, after which I restarted my phone. It's been working for me since then
Whelp, I guess I'll go to the AT&T store again later, then.
So everything that is claiming to have LTE ----> Do you have a 4G icon on your phone or LTE? I am in US, went to ATT store ---they entered an imei of a Samsung Galaxy S5 and now it shows 4G. If you go into mobile networks preferred network mode it says 4G preferred/wcdma/gsm. I am assuming this is just due to the UK software version not being the same as US...

IMEI problem rectified, they reverted it to my previous phone's IMEI. Now displaying 4G. Sweeeeeetness.
It's just silly that AT&Ts LTE is tied to the IMEI in their system and not simply having an LTE capable phone.
I ported a line to use with my Z3c and gave them the IMEI of an AT&T HTC One so that LTE would work, but they would only send me a micro sim because according to the IMEI that's the sim I need. Tried to tell them I need a nano sim but the gal on the phone said she couldn't send one, I'd have to go to a store pick one up.
If you are going from an LTE phone that uses a nano SIM card to the Sony Xperia Z3 compact, it is not necessary to contact AT&T. You will need to manually add the APN settings on your Sony Xperia Z3 compact. Here is the path to get to the APN settings..
Settings > More > Mobile networks > Access Point Names > press + to add a new APN
Enter in the following settings listed below
Name ATT Phone
APN phone
Proxy Not set

MMSC http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS proxy proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port 80
MCC 310

APN type default,mms,supl,hipri
APN protocol IPv4

Save the changes you made, select the APN you just created and reboot the phone. Everything should be working from there.
Here is where I got the information from: http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB424489&cv=820&_requestid=838329#fbid=ecLfo9YLvXa
So I do have the 4g icon in my status bar. Does this mean that LTE is working fine?
The only reason I am asking is because on the MY ATT page I do only see the silhouette of a flip phone.
Edit: My phone automatically downloaded internet and MMS settings when I first booted it up. Is this what others are doing?

Yes, you are getting LTE on your phone
LTE = 4G in Europe
4G = H+ in Europe
3G
etc
If you do a speed test, you will see that you are getting LTE speeds on your phone
Problem here too. I just went in to get a nano sim. The guy hooked up my number from a note 2. Does not show data. He said I needed to put in my IMEI number from the box. I didn't from recommendations on here. The problem is that I didnt have a rebutle sp? Because I really don't know how it works. He said if my note 2 was lte, it should work. I don't know what the heck to do

I would try again, maybe try to get a different service rep. The IMEI from an AT&T Note 2 should work.
So I put my SIM in from my g3 (which was T-Mobile and getting great lte) and phone was working fine then for some reason reverts to 4g and no lte. Check my account online and my phones imei shows up as an old blackberry which downgrades my plan automatically.
I can stick SIM back in old phone get lte, switch again and it reverts. Called and customer service can't seem to help. Anyone else with T-Mobile note on att having issues ?
I have been having a different issue. Every couple of days, I would loose all T network connection as the APN "ATT Phone" would become unselected for a as of yet undetermined reason. If I select it, everything works just fine (include LTE) till it unselects itself a day or two later. I cannot determine the cause.
If I look on my account it shown some "dumb" phone whereas I used to have a Note 2. I do get LTE. I use these APN setting, which seem to show up as default when I press the reset on the APN menu:
Name ATT Phone
APN phone
Proxy Not set

See if these are the setting your SIM selects. If not, you can try unselecting "ATT Phone", change it and select it after saving. But perhaps you need a new SIM which T should be happy to give (or maybe it is a couple of $) you if you visit a store and say you lost your phone and the sim.
Thanks for the input. Yes I have tried deleting apn settings and adding the ones like you listed. It didn't help. Get 4g but no lte. Went to att they pretty much just said too bad it's not our problem cause it's a T-Mobile phone.
So far no issues running it in Manhattan for a couple weeks - I can't tell the difference between this, my OnePlus One, and my old AT&T Note 3 - all using the same AT&T SIM.
I did get some slow data speeds while in Williamsburg last weekend, but my wife's AT&T iPhone 6 had the same issues so I don't think it was a phone issue.

Oh okay. I don't know why mine is having this issue. Have used several T-Mobile phones on att without issue
Sorry to say it appears the Note 4 is polled or "phones home" and immediately shows it's non-approved IMEI. When I change the SIM from my T-Mobile Note 4 to my ATT Note 2 the MyATT page almost instantly changes from BlackBerry7100 to "Smartphone". Not sure what to do because it'll surely cost my LTE speed.
I've been using a T-Mobile Note 4 on AT&T since the week it launched without these problems. I have a feeling I'm jinxing myself or that it's only a matter of time before it does happen. What's weird to me is that on the AT&T page it shows I still have my old LG G3.
Are you guys using custom ROMS or Kernels or anything? I have pretty much rooted from day one and froze a bunch of stuff and immediately got rid of the Carrier IQ.
Well let me chime in. I never got lte on the note 4 until I got tired of slower speeds haha. I had an iPhone so I went to at$t to get another sim card but brought my s3 so they wouldn't know of the note 4. Problem I think was putting it straight into the note 4 and not settle into the s3 first and get all required info. So I was without LTE for a while until I decided to try again for it. So I called at$t and told them I was not getting LTE on my phone 5s so they changed the imei # to the one for the 5s. Still didn't get any lte so I went to an at$t store when they said to pick up a new sim. I used the iPhone probably for about an hour and got LTE. So from that point I put the nano sim into the note 4 and now I've been getting lte for over two weeks and great signal coverage. On my account it says I'm using a dumb phone but when I go into upgrade options it says I'm on an iPhone 5s.
