Hey guys I just switched from captivate to Gnote, and trying to setup the data network here.
I had the original 3g plan with att, and I read on gsmarena that this phone supports LTE 700 which is what att is using right now.
So I am just wondering, is this phone capable of using the att 4g? do I need to get a new sim from them in order to get on the 4g network?
Thank you very much in advance!
LTE version or hspa version
did you buy the Korean Note that supports LTE or have a regular HSPA note. the regular note only supports the AT&T hspa and needs an 4g apn.

In short, GSMarena got it sorely wrong. The internationally available version of the Note, with the Exynos chipset, most certainly does not support LTE in any shape or form. It should also be mentioned that Verizon also uses 700MHZ LTE as well, but both AT&T and VZW use totally different blocks within that spectrum space anyway. So, I would find it strange that GSMarena may possibly claim that not only does the Note have support for 700MHZ LTE, but also every possible carrier block therein. Seems unlikely to me...
There are however carrier specific versions of the Note based off a completely different Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset designed to work on very specific LTE networks in other parts of Asia (mainly in Korea), and AT&T is rumored to have commissioned Samsung to build them their own specific LTE version of the Note as well. HOWEVER, I would fervently recommend AGAINST buying any kind of device commissioned and built specifically for any particular carrier. ALWAYS buy unlocked devices. By buying unlocked equipment, you are taking power away from the carrier that they would otherwise have over you when it comes to your consumer choice. Not to mention all the benefits and the freedoms you should enjoy by owning your own equipment, free of any carrier imposed limitations, bloatware *ahem*CarrierIQ*ahem*, and whatever other diabolical things carriers will inevitably do to our precious equipment.
Anyway, I'm getting side-tracked here...
To get your Note fully functional, and running optimally on AT&T, it's not quite as simple as just popping your SIM card in and off you go...
The three basic things you need to do are as follows:
1. Make sure you have the correct account provisioning.
2. Configure and use the correct APN('s).
3. Disable Fast Dormancy.
I'll cover these in more detail below, but first of all I need to clarify something: the Note supports 21mbit HSPA+, which if you want to call that 4G, OK fine. Personally I try to avoid marketing catch-phrases like "3G" and "4G" altogether, so henceforth I shall refer to the Note's mobile connectivity by what it actually is: HSPA+
Now, before you're able to fully take advantage of HSPA+, you'll need to make sure that your account is properly provisioned for that feature, otherwise you'll run into a virtual speed limit which will keep your device from reaching its full speed potential. So, in order to check that you have the correct provisioning on your account, you should call in to customer service and make sure you're on a proper 4G (not LTE 4G either!) plan. Ask them if you have the correct SOC code. In my case (grandfathered unlimited data user), my SOC code should be "HSDPB." If you're on a tiered plan, it'll be something else. Either way, you need to be on a 4G plan of some sort.
"Ok, how do I do that then?"
Easy. Go to you local store and get the IMEI from a similar Samsung device (from a connectivity standpoint anyway), like an Infuse 4G, or a non-LTE Galaxy S2. From the dialer, enter in *#06#, and the IMEI should show up. Make a note of that number (hehehe). You can probably find another IMEI on the internet, too, but either way you need that. When you call in to AT&T customer support, just tell the rep that you've upgraded your device to a *insert name of device from which you got the IMEI* that you bought on eBay or something, and you want to make sure that you're on the correct plan. Provide them that IMEI, and now your account should be provisioned for HSPA+ (YAY! WOO!).
Now that that's out of the way, you need to configure your APN or APN's if you're using more than one (this only usually applies if you're grandfathered into an older plan). Go to Settings => Wireless and network => Mobile networks => Access Point Names. From here, tap the menu button and select "New APN."
Populate the fields as follows (Case sensitive!):
Name: Doesn't matter, you can call this whatever you want.
APN: Phone
Proxy: <not set>
Port: <not set>
Username: <not set>
Password: <not set>

MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMSC Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: <none set>
APN type: internet + mms (if you're on a tiered plan) or just internet (if you're on a legacy grandfathered plan).
This APN info above is for achieving the highest possible speeds over HSPA+
The next APN generally offers slower data speeds, but depending on your area may not be any different in terms of speed after all. This is the old legacy Cingular APN, and you need to input these settings if you're on a grandfathered legacy plan, otherwise you may not be able to send/receive MMS properly.

Congratulations! You should have now successfully set up both your account and your APN's properly for making your Note fully functional on AT&T! You should now at the very least be able to get onto the internet and browse etc. Pat yourself on the back!
But wait! There's more!
You still have to disable a feature on your Note called Fast Dormancy. Fortunately, this is really quick and easy to do. But first, what the hell is that, and why do I have to disable it? Well without getting all technical, simply put, it's a feature which allows a device to very quickly switch from an idle data state to UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ and back to idle again, and generally work more efficiently, thus improving performance, and saving battery life. Problem is, in order for this feature to work, BOTH the device and the network that device is on need to support it. Unfortunately, AT&T does not currently support Fast Dormancy. As a result, by having fast dormancy enabled on your device, it'll have the complete opposite effect than what it was intended to have. Basically, your battery life will suck more, data connections will be erratic, slow, and unreliable, and you're basically wasting data overhead on a feature that, for AT&T, just doesn't exist. Disable it, and your Note will fly like it was intended.
To disable Fast Dormancy, from your dialer, enter in *#*#9900#*#*
This should pull up your SysDump menu. There, close to the bottom it should indicate your current Fast Dormancy state, enabled by default. Select that option, and it should indicate that Fast Dormancy is disabled. Exit and enjoy! Reboot the phone for good measure though. You generally don't have to, but sometimes it irons out any issues that may arise.
Hope this all helps! Enjoy your Note on AT&T!!
P.S. Hey Moderators!! Can we by any chance get this tutorial posted up as a sticky? Seems to be the best way to consolidate for AT&T users. Thanks!
Thanks for this! It really made clear what all the different APN's were about (since none of them seemed to work). Now getting 4100 / 1030 as compared to 1400 / 1000.

The "phone" and "pta" while using the SIM that came out off my streak. Got a SIM provisioned through a SkyRocket, and those APN's worked.

Gotcha. Wouldn't surprise me that the pta APN wouldn't have worked, because if I'm not mistaken, I believe that's the LTE only APN anyway.
Great post !
Thx for the 4-1-1!!! This was great. However, one question, i got the skyrocket for Xmas, I put the sim in and used the 'pta' APN i found on this site. Is that OK? im gettting download speeds ~2 - 2.5. Is that what the non-LTE apn speeds are like? or should i change the IEMI number with ATT as you described and get a regular 4g plan (non LTE)? thx again

Honestly, I doubt you'll need to change your plan as such. However, I would avoid using the pta APN, mainly because it's monitored and regulated much more heavily than the other two I listed above. From what I read a few months ago on the Skyrocket forums, people on the pta APN were running into issues where they were getting throttled pretty badly, and in some cases, even if they weren't throttled, some websites were simply blocked outright. The solution was to fall back to the older APN's. Now I don't know if the issues with the pta APN have been fixed or not, but I would still avoid it on principle.
As for your average speeds on HSPA+, my understanding is that the Skyrocket falls back to 21mbit HSPA+ anyway when LTE is unavailable, so I would assume that your account provisions should already be set up to take full advantage of that on your Note. That being the case, yes, the speeds you are seeing are consistent with average/normal HSPA+ performance.
Feel free to read the link in my comment about 4 posts ago to understand a little more about what kinds of speeds to expect based on a number of environmental factors.
Thanks so much for this info. This needs a sticky!
After trying both APN's listed in this thread, im not able to fully receive MMS messages. I get a message with a download button, but the pic will not dl after touching the button.
I came from a skyrocket, in an LTE area, then used a cheap samsung gophone for a week (what misery!) while waiting on my GNote. I looked under message settings, and do have a retrival phone number, and checked "automatically download". Text mesaaging works fine. Any advice?

Get rid of all the MMS info in the wap.cingular APN, and set up a new APN with that info and call it "AT&T MMS" or something like that. When you set the type to MMS only, that APN will remain active always (no green button next to it) and you should receive MMS normally.

Hi
I'm in the UK and on the T-Mobile network, I get a better signal in my area (H+) when I choose the network "T-Mobile" rather than "T-Mobile/Orange", the problem I have is that it seems to default to "T-Mobile/Orange" and I have to manually change the network via settings/mobile networks.
Is there anyway for it to choose T-Mobile by default and stay on it?
Kind Regards
Are you selecting network manually. If so have you checked apn settungs to see if you can enter tmobiles details only.
Not sure with them merging there cell towers if you can only select 1 though

Hi Thanks for the reply, I'm not sure about the checking apn settings bit, I've gone into "edit access point" but haven't a clue what I'm looking at!
I'm on T-Mobile aswell and I only have the below fields filled in:
Name: web'n'walk
APN: general.t-mobile.uk
MCC: 234
MNC: 30
APN type: internet
I get about 1.8mb download speed on a H+ signal, although I did hit 4mb once when I was in Central London. My GNote rarely switches over to the Orange signal although I have seen it happen.
Mine is the following:
Name: T-Mobile Internet
APN: general.t-mobile.uk
MCC: 234
MNC: 30
APN type: internet+mms
I get 3.70Mbps Down 0.54Mbps up whilst on T-mobile and 0.81Mbps Down 0.35Mbps up whilst on T-Mobile/Orange! Big difference.
I have been browsing through the forums for some time now and haven't had much luck.. So I thought i'd post my question here.
First off, here's the situation:
I purchased an HTC Raider from Bell mobility about 6 weeks ago. I ran some speed tests and was getting 10+ mbps, which I was quite impressed with. About 3 weeks ago (around the time of the release for the ICS with bell, and after I updated it) I started to notice slower connection speeds. I started to run some speed tests and to date I am getting about 3kbps download speeds, while maintaining very high upload speeds. I can still open webpages and use the internet, but things such as facebook can take up to 30 seconds to load a page.. and downloads are significantly slower. Instead of <1 minute downloads i'm expecting closer to 5 mins.
My Question:
Is there any way to fix this problem? Any suggestions as to how to establish a stronger connection and to increase my download speeds to what they were when i first got the phone? I know my phone and network is capable of much higher speeds, I just dont know what the issue is.
Thanks in advance! - all suggestions welcome!
Just so that everyone is aware, I have restarded the phone, tried different sim cards, contacted technical solutions, done factory reset, etc. Everything is up to date, and there is no reason that the issue would be on the provider's end of things. Have tried in a similiar phone running on the same network, and there are no issues all. It's something to do with the phone and it's current settings. --
thanks again!

Same Slow Speeds
I have had exactly the same problems. I have called Bell TS and went through the same proceedures, including a factory reset. The strange part of it is this started to happen right after the upgrade as well, but only seems to happen in an area near lake huron. As soon as i leave this area all my speeds come right up and everything operates normally. My wifes phone, HTC Desire, operates normally on both upload and download. Hers has not been upgraded to ICS (i am afraid that she will have the same problems). After a bunch of testing on my part, i beleive there is something related to the ICS update that certain bell towers dont like. I have relayed all this to Bell, their answer is to send me off to the billing dept to get a partial refund. I am running a stock Bell rom at the moment. There has to be something within the ICS upgrade that can be tweaked to fix this concern, since my wifes phone (on the same network) works perfectly.

Assuming you are on an LTE plan (yes?) and that you have an LTE sim card and all that...
1) Is there LTE coverage in the zone you are normally in?
2) Go to Settings, About Phone, Network. Under Mobile Network Type, does it say LTE or HSDPA?
3) Go to Settings, Mobile Network, Access Point Names. Are there many entries in the list, or just one? Click the one that is active (with the green dot or whatever) and compare it to below (I can't see this being incorrect because it's FROM Bell , but just in case?)

I'm pretty happy with my LTE speed. I get 30-40mbps usually... 15mbps on a bad day. But then again, I'm right in the city. Bell's LTE coverage outside the city isn't the greatest just yet. If you have a friend that is also on Bell LTE, compare your speed tests from the same location.
Or compare with a friend on Rogers LTE? My friend (on a Rogers Raider) doesn't get very good speed while at my place.
As for wifi... I don't know. Are you into trying custom ROMs/kernels? I wonder if they can help with better wifi performance.
Lol..really? I was getting way faster speeds on rogers LTE in Toronto..weird..

I've seen some AT&T customers complain about terrible speeds and latency when doing speed tests. I too had this issue. Before the fix, I was getting about 20 kbps downstream and 400+ latency. After, I'm getting 6+ mbps and 80-120 latency. I fixed mine by adding a new APN with these settings. To change them, go to SETTINGS -> MORE... -> MOBILE NETWORKS -> ACCESS POINT NAMES. From here, either select the existing one or click the menu key to create a new one. Also, if you create a new one, make sure to select it after you're done making it. (you have to tap the radio to select it because tapping the name will edit it but NOT select it).
The blank ones are blank/unspecified. You probably only need to change APN and APN type (the other shown values were already like this on mine). For APN type, those are commas separating the terms. I posted a link to 3 shared screenshots so you can see what it should look like.

Thanks..I honestly didn't think there was a difference between the LTE and non-LTE plans at AT&T. But my dad is in charge of the plan, so maybe I am missing something.
I'm using the same Stock AT&T PTA apn I've used since the Infuse 4g and it works perfect. Stock APN I couldn't even get 20kbps most of the time. Now I can at least get 5.7 (about what I'm used to in my area).

I'm using the pta APN since I came from an LTE phone so my sim is provisioned for it. I usually got about 8-9mbps down in this location when on my sgs3 so if these speeds stick and improve I'm quite happy. Obviously uploads are the biggest hit but not too worried about that

It wouldn't work for me with the default WAP.Cingular APN. As soon as I changed it to the hspa+ one, speed test worked.
For this of you on the pta APN, does your MMS work? If so, do you still have the WAP.Cingular APN in the list (just not checked)? Or is the pta APN the only one listed?
I too have my Sim provisioned for lte, but if I use the pta APN, I get great data speeds, but no MMS. Thanks.

Many thanks for posting this! My internet donwload speeds went from .001 MBPS download to 2.97MBPS. I hate to say this, but it still felt snappy even at .001 MBPS. My Galaxy S2 was so slow to process websites.

I get faster speeds with the new APN, but I can't get H+ in areas where is was able to get it with my S3. Anyone have a solution?
thanks for this!
Posted this on another similar thread. Worked for me. It's the Cingular.WAP APN but slightly different.
"Anybody still having issues with att H+ speeds try the APN settings from this link
http://nerdynerdnerdz.com/blog/2011/07/23/att-apn-mms-settings-android/
My speed increased by 600% when I switched to this, from barely 1Mbps to 6+Mbps. I also can run the speed test app now whereas before I could not."

Yes, add this to the OP and everything will work.
I came across this topic on rootzwiki a while back and it's helped me a few times. Obviously it's for ATT only.

*** Caution***
I may have found a bug in the 4.4 software... I am not 100% sure, but it has T-Mobile perplexed beyond belief!
So, here is the issue. Without being on Wifi try downloading any file from the app store or any large file in general that is 100MBs and up.
From what I have noticed, my HSPA+ Speeds and LTE speeds are insane. Insane enough that I can stream Netflix in HD like its nothing - Over the phone.
So, in a way that makes things look even more weird. --- Here is the issue at hand, whenever I try to download a file that is over 100MBs or more the download will start out fast
and after a few minutes of download slow down ( basically get totally reduced to Throttling-Like speeds.)-- Same case with the tethering too! ( I tested this) This does not make sense, --- Comedy Here. http://youtu.be/6Xywqv1cDH8
So, I called up T-Mobile and they tried very hard to help me... it was actually insane because the customer service was so damn good. I got all the way up to American Tech Rep... guess it was that interesting, the guy reset my connection to my phone while we ran multiple speed tests. --- End result was that he could not figure out what the hell it was, and since NEXUS 5s are so new they don't know a lot about them. The tech had to send a trouble ticket to google or what not and I won't hear from the tech for 3 days.
It doesn't make much sense because I just got on their network like on the 9th... only used less than 3 GBs... -_- and IF they throttle its after 5GBs.
So if you are with T-Mobile or with a company in America and NOT on a Grandfathered plan post a quick result or kinda verify that your unit is or is not performing the same way. This is a very annoying issue.
ALSO, I am on the Unlimited verified Post-Paid plan too... so monthly and this is supposed to give cell tower priority.. or something.
If anyone has a way for me to fix this or is having similar issues let me know!
I'm having similar problems on giffgaff (o2) in the UK.

Oh crap... so this isn't isolated... -_-
BUMP! Seriously I can't be the only one.
I am getting the same great speeds that I got on 2 other phones. And I use about 5-8 gigs a month without any throttling. On T-Mobile.
Running off Tmobile LTE on Metro PCS. Not me but same phone and location as myself.

I ran these tests, but that won't help you unless you really pay attention and watch your download slow down.
You need to try downloading an app or any file above 100 MB and see if it totally slows down within the first few minutes.
Mine does this ALL the time.. Meaning, It won't do that if I am on Wifi.
As stated, I stared my service on the 9th of this month... so its Bull DOO DOO!
Can anyone on T-Mobile confirm what their APN is set on ??

I've had this problem with tmobile ever since I used the LTE hack on my N4 well over 6 months a go. I noticed it when i was on the APN with fast in it. The old HSPA+ one I was using before the LTE APN didn't have these problems. I know this doesn't help, but I've just accepted it as working as intended.

I might have the same issue and I'm on T-Mobile. I'm downloading a 221MB game app at 23% completion with 7 hours left to complete the download
That 23% downloaded quick and now it's slowly downloading.
With one bar of LTE, indoors, (where my galaxy nexus couldn't get HSPA) I pulled 4.57Mbps down with two notable spikes on Ookla speedtest. I got 0.00up. I'll re-download 3d mark when I'm out and about. (It's 155mb) I also contribute background stats to Root Metrics Coverage Map. If your phone is rooted, consider playing with your TCP congestion control in Trickster mod or the like.

I don't believe I made any manual changes to my APN. If I did, the only thing I changed was ipv6.
Same issue here OP so you're not alone.
Nexus 5 on T-Mobile, I have a super strong LTE signal at work but downloading anything from the playstore, like you say starts out fast 1.5-2MB/s then it goes down to a crawl after 70-100MB and basically seems to time out. I have to wait to go home to finish downloading on my WiFi connection. It's terrible and inconvenient to have to wait to go home to update a large application.
I am on T-Mobile and just downloaded Dead Trigger 2. Had the same speed through out the download and completed very quickly. I am not running a stock rom and maybe that is the issue?
I am on pre-paid. I noticed with tests it'll get to like 30Mbps at start, lag spike a few times, then finish at 4Mbps. I can't get upload to finish.

Yep i have this exact issue, i can have full bars on LTE and it starts out at 30mbps then slows down to a crawl, like 2G speed. The only way i found to kick it is to switch to a wifi network then switch back to LTE, and it starts out fast again then slows down again. I'm on a postpaid plan with unlimited 4G.

EVERYONE I made a video with proof!
See it here! : Everything I am talking about is there..

The issue isn't just the app store, but downloads in general!
Another thing you will notice is if you are watching a movie via the Netflix app you will have super high quality meaning the connection isn't loosing speed.
Still want to point out that tethered downloads have the same issues.
Testing this right now by starting a download of Dead Trigger 2.
Well that didn't take long. At the 24mb mark I got throttled down to 0.02 mb/sec.
I have the exact same issue and am so glad you brought it up. Now I know I'm not alone.
I came from a htc one s and had similar issue. I thought it was the phone modem itself because the radio on that phone is a POS. Now with the Nexus 5,whenever I download a big file, it would start out with around 2 to 3 mb/s. And after a minute a two it would drop to low speed ranging from 15 to 150kb/s, constantly fluctuating.
Has anyone tested this on another phone? Maybe it's a t-mobile issue and not the phone itself.
