"I called ATT..." GSM...
Have you checked the APN settings. Mine was unlocked when I got it and it just worked. When I downgraded though it wouldn't connect I went in and checked the APN settings and it had lost Tmobile's APN settings. I just re added them and reset and it worked. Hope this help

T-Mobile APN updated automatically. i said that in my original post. i believe my AHD is on ICS 4.0.4 is there an update above this that may be causing the issue? like i said, it is unlocked with ATT Sim Lock code but will not receive service except for Emergency Calls only. when the T-Mobile sim is inserted the network bars disappear but the APN updates
It looks like the phone is successfully unlocked.
You can double check the APN settings against the ones recommended by T-Mobile or even create a custom APN with these settings.
Is the SIM card activated? Does it get signal on another phone? If you use the Phone Info app or any other app that lets you in the hidden testing menu, can you check if you get signal if you change the preferred network type to GSM only or to WCDMA only? WARNING: Do not change the radio band.
FYI I'm on T-Mobile with ICS 4.0.4 and I've got signal in multiple places in the US and roaming overseas.

well turns out the phone was reported stolen and had been deactivated. it was indeed successfully unlocked by the guy bought a stolen phone that he couldnt do anything with. thats what you get for trying to help others. thx guys
So I recently bought a new Galaxy Note 3 T-mobile variant on craigslist to use on my AT&T plan. The phone is perfect, I love it! The only problem is that I can't seem to connect to LTE after I unlocked it. I have already rooted the phone using CF Auto-root, and then I turned to unlocking it. I heard that the "Region Lock Away" app by chainfire removed the region lock as well as unlocked the sim, as long as you reboot later. So thats what I tried first rather then pay for an unlock code.
Now when I bought the Note 3, it didn't include the sim card from T-mobile. So I did the whole process of rooting and unlocking under my real att sim card that I was using with my Nokia lumia 920 (I know it was time to upgrade). I went to an ATT retail store, and I ended up talking to a service rep and explained that I wanted to use my Galaxy note 3 on their network, and that I would be unlocking it when I got home. She convinced me to give them the IMEI number on the back of the phone to "provision the network to my phone".
Well after the Region Lock Away app did it's thing, I no longer had the sim card ask for an unlock code and I was able to text and make calls. So I figure that I was fully unlocked. But my data wasn't working, so after a bit of research here at XDA I noticed that I needed to change my apn settings. So i used these as suggested by another post:
NAME: ATT Phone
APN: phone
MMSC: http[colon]//mmsc.mobile.att[dot]net <-- XDA thinks I am posting a url!
MMS proxy: proxy.mobile.att[dot]net
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN type: default,mms,supl,hipri
After setting these, and then using them, I can't find any data connection at all. Can anyone shed some insight as to what may be the problem?
BTW: the legacy wap.cingular apn settings are working for me but I only get about 2 Mb/s max. Which is not what I want from an LTE phone obviously.
The only thing I noticed you did not mention is "authentication type", which needs to be manually set to None. I come to the note 3 from an AT&T galaxy s4. I was using a t-mobile custom rom on it the whole time, every time I reset the ROM I had to manually add APN settings, authentication type "none" always had to be selected along with the rest of the entries. If you don't manually set this it will read "not set".

Settings are right as I compared them with my phone. Only thing I can think of is the rep didn't configure your account right and LTE is not enabled. You can log onto your att.com and check to see if your sim has LTE activated. You would see something like DataPro 3GB for Smartphone 4G LTE or whatever amount of data checked on your line. If not your LTE is not active it won't work no matter what APN settings you use.
Edit; this is what authentication type should read instead of default "not set".

Thanks for the replies!! Well I went in to the att store, and spoke with the same person who switched my IMEI number into the system. Looks like two things happened, first my data plan was switched from a 3GB LTE data to a media plan which was causing me to recieve text messages complaining about my data usage and stating $200 charges. To remedy this we had to make a call to the dreaded at&t customer service center where my Rep. was put on hold for about 30 min (ridiculous...) and also the charges were removed. I also had her switch the IMEI to the Galaxy S3 that I previously used before I got the sudden death ****. So after all that, my data has finally connected and im getting about 7MB down which is still only HSPA+. So the only thing I have left to try is maybe some other APN settings (suggestions here????) or maybe try a new simcard and use the unlock code I have.

Searching for the AT&T APN setting led me to this thread.
After setting all the APN settings as others, I was still getting pretty slow connection speed.
Then, I switched the Bearer to "LTE" type and voila! I started getting the full LTE speed!

You can only do this if you know your in a LTE supported area otherwise you will not get any data if your in a 4g or H+ area with the bearer set to LTE only.

These are my new working APN settings. 4G LTE completely working on AT&T
Name: ATT Phone
APN: phone
proxy through server:not set
MMSC: http[colon]//mmsc[dot]mobile.att.net
Multimedia Message Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
multimedia message port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: not set
APN Type: default,mms,supl,hipri,fota
APN protocol: IPv4
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Unspecified
Mobile virtual network operator type:not set
I find that no matter what settings I use on the APN (working ones, I mean), if I have Wifi on, I lose LTE. As soon as I disable Wifi, even if I don't move the phone, LTE comes back. Not that it matters, I just like seeing that little 4G LTE icon.
My guess is that your WiFi is set to take priority over mobile data. There might be a setting to change this though. For example in the WiFi settings there is a toggle that allows your phone to automatically switch between WiFi and mobile data, to have a seamless browsing experience.
I'm on lollipop running the Echoe ROM on my sm-n900t and I use the download booster to boost my speeds by using both together.
I am using an unlocked ATT note 3 on tmobile. The phone was unlocked through eBay code and rooted through Kingo root. I've tried adding a new apn and changing the apn protocol like some have suggested. However my apn is not changeable. It is greyed out even when I add a new one.
My mms does not work if I have wifi on. It doesn't work sometimes when wifi is off. It just stays stuck on "sending" or "downloading" forever. Any suggestions on a easy fix?

It's the apn protocol field within the new apn that's grayed out. The one that says ipv4. I need to change it to ipv6 but can't change it.
I get mms on mine and didn't even touch apn when I put the sim card in.

You put an AT&T SIM into a TMobile phone, didn't change the APN, and you still get internet and MMS? Then someone has a server set up REALLY sloppy. A phone registered to AT&T's network should NOT be able to use TMobile's gateway or MMS server. I can understand the MMS server being set up loosely, but not the gateway.

I have a HTC One M8 sprint that i bought on Ebay, i have no problem to make and receive calls after i unlocked it but there is no mobile internet.
My APN Settings is correct, however i only have the option of bearer: LTE or eHRPD or Unspecified
When i search for networks on my normal phone i always get two options:
Movistar 2G
Movistar 3G
Vodafone 2G
Vodafone 3G
and the other networks here.
On the HTC that i sim unlocked i only get:
Movistar
Vodafone
Orange
There is no indication on if it is 2G or 3G.
*#*#4636#*#*
Have set it at GSM Auto PRL and restarted the phone, i have also tried all other network types without success.
Under Phone Info i get Current Network Movistar
GPRS Disconnected (Cant seem to activate that)
GSM: In Service
Network Type: Unknown
I have tried different radios, but no one has worked and they all end up with the phone entering a loop where it restarts and cant recognice the SIM card.
Mobile Network Settings:
Network mode: GSM/UMTS Only
Allow GSM Data: Ticked the box
Is there anyone who has been in the same situation and who has found a solution?
I have seen a number of posts where people say that they cant get data but calls is working, but the only resolution that people has offered is to set the GSM Auto PRL and restart the phone, that has not worked for me.
Very happy for any help that you can give!
Thanks

Yes everything
Use QPST tool and allow all 3G networks to work. It unlocks all 3G networks. You are not getting UMTS signal because Sprint by default has unlocked only US 3G band (I think 1800). Hence, you need to unlock all 3G networks

I went ahead and enabled data and tethering for my Ting sim.
Ting's FAQs suggest that tethering cannot be used with LTE data, but I had no problem. Ting with LTE connection showed the same speed on the R1 HD and the wifi connected device, at the time, about 20 Mbps up and down.

Is Data roaming enabled?
Is the modified APN selected?
Are both "default" and "dun" checked under APN type in that APN?
Until "dun" was checked, my sim behaved the same way, connected but no internet.

All my fp sims are downgraded to free 200mb plan with no services. I have two types of sim, data only and voice/data. The voice/data sim gets a number assigned before shipment.
The one in my R1 HD is voice/data, but I am not using fp voip phone and have run the fp messaging app only to check activation; it's not running now.
I'll swap to a data only sim this evening and see if the hotspot continues to work.

Swapped in a data only sim, hotspot still works fine.
I assume the icon on top bar has an R to indicate it's registered and same icon in the dropdown menu has the R and is labelled FreedomPop.
Also, I assume the sim is providing data locally. Speedtest should show a ping of about 300ms.
Running out of ideas...Settings/More/Cellular networks shows Preferred network type 3G/4G. When I click on Network operators, it searches for about a minute and then shows FreedomPop 3G twice...I'm guessing one of those is ATT and the other is T-Mobile. Haven't noticed any difference if I select one or the other.

The fix described here, adding dun to the APN type, has worked for me with several fp sims, both the data only and talk/data variety:
https://forums.freedompop.com/discussion/17067/blu-r1-hd-hotspot-connection-issue-fixed
Apparently it worked for "Blu R1 HD User" as well. Expect we all have the stock rom.
My guess is that the problem is differences with the account setup at freedompop. They may be trying to disable it so they can charge for the service but have not made changes to all accounts.

The "dun" trick was tested NOT to work on my R1 HD. Same, connected, but no internet. I am wondering is this a BLU issue or FP issue. In other words,
1) has anyone successfully tethered using other carrier's sim cards in BLU while not with FP? Then that's a FP issue..
2) has anyone successfully tethered FP's sim card on other GSM unlocked phones, while not in BLU? Then that's a BLU issue..
I am not a GSM player (I play with CDMA phones a lot), can someone do above experiments and show your results? Thanks.

I believe that Android 4 phones may not give carriers the ability to identify(and block)

That's not it. Hotspot still works without security.
But I think I've figured it out.
In brief, I believe that adding dun to the APN type works only if you are connected to T-Mobile.
Freedompop sims can use either T-Mobile or ATT HSPA+ data. If you connect to T-Mobile, tethering works, if ATT it doesn't. I am in a location that gets both, but T-Mobile is stronger and I think it normally gets selected. When I click on Network operators, it searches for about a minute and then displays this:
I think the two "FreedomPop 4G" items are ATT and T-mobile, When I click on either one, it says "Registering on Freedompop 4G". These don't seem to appear in the same order each time, but when I choose at random, about half the time I get no internet when I reconnect the wifi device. When I tell it to "choose automatically" I always have internet, I think because it chooses the stronger T-mobile signal.
Googling: dun apn tether, shows that this was a solution to a T-mobile broken tethering problem.
There must be a way to force the device to connect to a particular network.
Does anyone know how?
I did some searching for APN settings for ATT back when HSPA+ was all the rage.
Came up with this for APN Type: default,supl,dun,hipri
I still can't tell whether I'm connected to ATT or T-Mobile (there must be a way, but I don't know it).
But I've been trying manual selection as before, which often failed to tether internet. Now it always seems to work.
Would someone who has been unable to tether with a Freedompop sim please try this APN setting.
