I just recently switched to TMO from ATT where I had the S6A. I unlocked the phone and everything works besides data (Wifi, texts, calls). The reps at the TMO store told me the phone just can't use mobile data on their network. Does anyone know if this is true? I've been browsing the internet for a few days now but can't seem to find a solid answer, it seems that some users are able to access data with an unlocked phone. It's strange to me that I can call or text (even send pictures) but not access the mobile network.
I tried changing the APN settings to what I found online:
Name: T-Mobile
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy: this is not required
MMSC: mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy: not required
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: Not Set
But still nothing works and I'm running out of ideas. I should note that I even checked on TMO's website for compatibility and it said the S6A should work on their network and have access to 4GLTE.
Anyone have any suggestions for me? Or is my best bet getting a new device?
Thanks!
Hi there. I used to own an At&t GS6 on Tmobile network and data did work. Try checking the APN is setup correctly. Also try downloading the app called "4g network only" by Att. There you can change the data settings.
S6 Active DATA works fine for me on TMO but VOICE is a no go
I just got one of these and data works just fine for me but voice does not. I've read that VoLTE in the new T-Mobile update is not compatible with the S6 Active. But again data is working just fine.

Hi All,
Tried to search for this already but didn't find it.
I have an unlocked Captivate and am using it on the TMobile Network. I was originally on a $10 a month Data Plan but for some mysterious reason, I am no longer to get on the internet, nor send out any MMS. I am still able to receive MMS but just can't send any at all.
Any time I try to send a MMS, it sits on the "sending" status for about 15 min and then it finally just comes back to me with "failed".
I have been using this data plan on my phone for about 2.5 months now no problem and then a few days ago, it basically crapped out on me.
I have tried a few different APN settings:
Data Roaming is Checked
Access Point Name: t-mobile
APN: internet2.voicestream.com
MMSC: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
APN Type: internet + mms
All others are not set
Access Point Name: t-mobile
APN: wap.voicestream.com
MMSC: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
APN Type: internet + mms
All others are not set
and
Access Point Name: t-mobile
APN: epc.tmobile.com
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
APN Type: internet + mms
All others are not set
I would set one of them in the settings, restart the phone and try them. They now always default to the "web2go" upsale screen.
Before I always had it set to the internet2.voicestream.com settings and it worked great.
I tried calling TMobile and they are now telling me that the "system" has somehow figured out that I'm using an Android/Smartphone and isn't allowing me to use the $10 data plan anymore.
I don't understand how that is if every rep has had to ask me what phone I use, unless one of the times I called in, the rep entered that into the system and now they know?
Now they are saying the only way that I am able to send MMS now and or get on internet is if I upgrade to the 200mb/mo for $15 data plan or $30/mo for unlimited.
Can anyone verify this? That they somehow the System is able to see what kind of phone I use and if so... would I be able to trick the system somehow and use a non smartphone like an old nokia for a while and go online, etc... and then switch back to my captivate if it works?
I feel like they're just trying to upsell me and a bratty rep kicked me off moreso than the "System".
Call tmobile and ask, its open.source so.they shoukdnt do anything, they might be doing guess work about it though

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

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.
Just like the title say, what Rom are you running using Verizon LG G2 and if you are running T-Mobile Rom please leave more info about what works and what's not (looking for a tmobile Rom for my vs980 as well.
I'm running ROM : Malladus 2.0.2
With out any changes
So far everything works fine 4G LTE few drops in some areas but that is normal I guess. SMS,MMS and calls works (using hangouts for txt and mms I just like it better than stock.
I'm on JackpotClavin's 24A-based CM11, and it is pristine.

I just switched from Verizon to T-Mobile this week with my VS980.
I've been able to get the phone setup and working mostly.
I'm picking up LTE, but it's slowish. Usually only picking up 1 or 2 bars and tot more than 12 mbps down/1 mbps up according to Speedtest, though that might just be my area. I'm in a larger city but still in the Midwest.I can make/receive calls just fine. I can send and receive MOST texts. Some text messages/calls I'm not receiving. Specifically, I have my online bank account setup to require a code which the bank sends via text message or call and my phone does not receive either, even though I'm getting texts/calls from other sources. This is actually kind of a big pain for me and if anyone could help me solve it I would be most appreciative.
I'm running CM 11 nightly. I did flash the 12b radio. I haven't tried the 24A radio yet.
Preferred Network is T-Mobile, although I've had the phone search networks a couple different times and there is always 3 T-Mobile networks listed and I'm really not sure if there is a difference or if there is a specific one I should be selecting since there is no way to differentiate them.
Mobile Network Settings
Data enabled: Checked
Data roaming: Blank
Preferred network type: LTE - Maybe this should be Global? I don't have a Global option: just "LTE (recommended)", 3G, or 2G.

Hi,
I have tried just about every APN I can get my hands on and have talked to ST via chat and they give me APN's to try, yet I am unable to "RECEIVE" MMS connected to WiFi or Network. Something I have noticed, when I am attempting to download a MMS that was sent, I never see the network icon show up. Isn't that suppose to show up during the initial process? Any who, I will list the current and ONLY APN I have / use atm. Thanks!
NOTE: If it's not listed it is "NOT SET"

SlimMan, are you using T-Mobile or another third party carrier that uses T-Mobile's network? If T-Mobile, my Sim automatically enters:
APN: epc.t-mobile.com
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
this works very well for me, 4G LTE, etc.

Thanks for the reply.
I am using T-Mobile via Straight Talk. The link you shared, I am not able to get it to load via Chrome or IE?
Thanks again.

But Straight Talk piggy backs on AT&T.
Sorry for the confusion, if using over straight talk it will be different. So far wap.tracfone should work, have you called Straight talk support?
I have the Project Fi Android One version of the Moto X4 and AT&T service, and I was wondering if anyone else uses this model on AT&T and has gotten LTE to work? I've been in touch with AT&T support, gave them the IMEI, gone through the APN settings, etc. but could never get LTE to work. I do have HSPA(+?) working, but would really like LTE. The sim card I'm using is the same one that I previously had in my old Nexus 5 and it was able to use LTE. If anyone did get it to work, could you let me know the steps you took? Thanks.
Mine worked out of the box on Cricket (AT&T) with no problems. Do you know what bands AT&T uses in your area for LTE?
Any joy on this?

I've not got a solution as I've not hooked-up on Fi yet.
HOwever, I'd like to know that, if the Fi network doesn't do what I need it to, I can go back to ATT (The Devil I Know)
So, I'd like to know if you've had any luck resolving this.

I used FreedomPop's GSM SIM which uses AT&T and had no issues. Initially it may come up as H+, but it will settle into LTE usually within a few hours.

I used my Fi x4 on Cricket (AT&T MVNO) for a couple of weeks to use up my prepaid time before I activated on Fi and LTE worked fine for me also. I think it's probably something on AT&T's side, keep calling them or go into a store and bug them until they straighten it out. There's no technical reason why it wouldn't work.
