[A] AT&T Monthly Data Only APN Broadband Setttings

Since I've replied to about 4 threads already with the same answer, I figured I would post this here and maybe have it made a sticky.
If you have recently flashed a new non AT&T Rom (Euro,Gingerbread, Overcome, CM7, etc..) you Galaxy Tab will not have the correct APN setting for your monthly data sim from AT&T.
The fix:
Go to Settings
Wireless & Network
Mobile Networks
Access Point names and make sure you have one called Broadband (assuming you are on the ATT monthly data only plan)
If you dont, create a new APN:
Name: Broadband
APN: Broadband
Just leave the other options as is, save it & select it.
I think by default it comes up with the ATT wap.cingular APN which doesnt work with the Tab Data plan.

OMG You're a lifesaver!
I just flashed my respiffied $200 AT&T Galaxy Tab with Overcome 2.0, and have been beating my head into the wall trying to flash modems and do all kinds of resets.
Thank you so much!

Weird part is, I had this exact problem when I activated a data plan for the first time on my AT&T tab a few days ago. Checked, and I had I already had an APN called "APN Broadband" so I thought it was a different problem. After fighting it for a while, I decided to create the new one with the name "Broadband" with the exact same settings as the "APN Broadband" one, and it worked perfectly! Apparently, the name is critical!

I just went through the same thing with my new AT&T Galaxy Tab. I had to modify one of the entries noted above to get it to work.
Name : APN Broadband (not ATT Broadband)
APN: Broadband
I'm happy camping again.

BTW, my Galaxy Tab is rooted using SuperOneClick.
OK, now I'm confused. As previously stated, I changed the APN name to APN Broadband and APN to Broadband and the wireless data started working. I turned on wifi, opened some random web pages, then shut off wifi. Now I'm not connecting to AT&T wireless data. I check the APN's again and the tab reverted back to the factory ATT Broadband. I swapped it back to the new APN I created (APN Broadband) and still could not get data. Now I changed back to the factory ATT Broadband, still no data. I began searching for more input. After 5+ minutes, I saw the 3G icon and I can reach the internet and market. I am new to Android devices, so I may be wrong, but I am not convinced I am done working this issue. If anyone else is has encountered this issue and have permanently fixed it, please add some food for thought.

Very interesting, as the one I had named "APN Broadband" is the one that would drop service whenever I opened Market, and I had to do exactly what the OP stated in his post to get it to work.
On a side note, I have noticed that it switches back to the default "APN Broadband" everytime I cycle airplane mode. I have to go back into the settings and choose "Broadband" again. Maybe I should just delete the old "APN Broadband" APN and hope it doesn't screw anything up.

Delete it. It will only make things easier for you.

Thanks!
RichAP, thank you very much for the APN info!
I spent the morning trying various combinations of uppercase, lowercase, password, no password entries with the wap.cingular.com APN. I did a bunch of searches and finally found this post. Didn't believe it could be as easy as just entering "broadband" into the APN settings, lol.
My AT&T 7" Galaxy Tab is now up and running with Overcome 7 v4.1 and using 3G. Yay!
(edit: yes I posted this as my first post just so I could hit the thanks button.)

I know this is an old thread but it helped me out recently, however, I found I had to use a regular phone SIM in my Note 4 Edge to add the Broadband APN and then switch back to the broadband SIM. If anyone is searching this issue and having a similar problem I hope this info might be helpful.

T-Mobile Moto X Connection issues.

I just got my new T-mobile Moto X yesterday, got it activated and it works great at home. But often when I am out and about it will say I have 4g (HSPA+), but the internet will not be working. I was curious if maybe I just have bad APN settings? Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!
Edit: Does unlocking the bootloader invalidate my motocare package? I've tried looking a bit and I'd like to unlock it, but not if it renders motocare useless.

Well first thing first, Did you set up the APN settings? Even if it shows like it has internet you still have to select the correct APN.
Also obvious but... the Tmobile SIM still needs to be activated lol otherwise factory reset that mother... Give a thanks why don't ya

The T-mobile sim is activated, and I am just using the stock APN setup the phone came with. The phone seems to do pretty good, but it just shows a connection sometimes when it doesn't seem to have one. Do you have a link to some T-mobile APN setting for this phone?

I'm using tmobile as well sir. The default APN settings are fine. MY question is did you actually physically select the T-mobile US LTE APN setting. You HAVE TO CLICK ON IT even if the status bar shows you're connected. And if you still need the APN just google. APN settings are everywhere!
after thoughts: if you have a sim you cut your self, don't matter if you're a surgeon, you may run into issues.
also like I said consider a factory reset or clearing your cache settings.

Tethering on build LMY48M on Verizon

I am able to enable tethering with the build.prop edit and get hotspot to launch on my Nexus 6 Non-Carrier model running LMY48M. I'm also able to get my external device to connect to the hotspot, but the device does not connect to the internet. No webpages will work. Does anyone have advice for making it work? From what I've read the settings.db does not need to be edited for hotspot to work on version.
Update: After trying many things to get this working I happened to compare my Non-Carrier Nexus 6 APN settings to an official Verizon phone's APN. The line for APN type on my phone read only "default" changing this to "default,dun,supl" resolved my issue and allowed tethering to work.
I'm a little confused as to why this was not correct on my phone, I thought the APN was set by the sim card in the phone. It fixed the issue none the less. If anyone can explain why I would appreciate the information.

Lenovo K3 Note Android Marshmallow Data Connection Error

Hi, I have the Indian version of the Lenovo K3 note (K50a40), and recently installed the official OTA android 6.0 marshmallow update. Everything on the phone appears to be working, including calling and texting (on T-Mobile), except for data connection. Before the update, I would be able to connect to and receive H+ from T-mobile in the USA, but now, even with full bars, the phone lacks data connection. I tried enabling roaming and changing the APN to no avail. Can someone please offer any advice? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I fixed the issue. for some reason, the update messes up the APN settings. To fix this, google the APN settings for your carrier. Make sure that they are the settings for 4g or LTE. Then, on your device, go to settings>data usage>more>mobile network>access point names>new APN, and enter the information you just looked up. You may need to restart the phone.

Hi, your solution does not fixes this issue (((

No hotspot on note 9 after U1 firmware flash

I was using straight talk cdma with my unlocked nexus 6p and the hotspot was working great as always, then I get a new "sprint unlocked" note 9 today, flashed it to U1 firmware to get it to work with the same sim that is in my nexus and boom everything is working as expected but I lost hotspot functionality. I can turn it on and it acts like its working but my computer never sees the network. Any Ideas? I've been out of the game for awhile and I didn't know much to start with lol. Any help is much appreciated. This phone is sick, if I just had my hotspot back I would be in business. Ran though the process again with a factory reset but no dice.

Bump. Tried a couple more things with no luck, I wonder why hotspot worked so well with the same setup on the nexus phone but just fell completely off with this one. I have heard that you could lose some carrier functionality when flashing U1 like wifi calling, visual voicemail but I never head anyone mention losing the hotspot. This is one of the few features I would have a hard time living without since I've grown so used to having it. Any suggestions or something to try?

I had this issue when I had a tmobile note 9. Changed the apn type to default,supl,mms and it worked. Not sure if that really did anything but had the exact problem you are having. Maybe manually entering the apn is an answer for you.

Had this problem again after rolling back and doing the official upgrade. In APN Type, put * and save the apn. You will likely have to put in all new APN settings for your carrier. I couldn't edit the automatic one. Once doing this, tethering worked properly!

I don't have the option to add a new apn, its grey-ed out and I can't edit the automatic one.
