So I have an AT&T branded, carrier unlocked, Samsung Galaxy Note 9 model number SM-N960U and I'm currently using Straight Talk as my carrier with a SIM card that uses AT&T towers. Voice Over LTE is disabled on it for AT&T towers and I've been trying off and on every time I get frustrated with my backup phone's cracked screen to find some way to make it function again but to no avail.
Anyone know of any magical fixes for this? I've done quite a bit of searching for answers and I've tried a bunch of things but not come up with any real fix for the problem...
Things I've tried include multiple different APN settings, turning on VoLTE Provisioning manually by dialing ##4636## (VoLTE Provisioned is grayed out with AT&T sim card but not other carriers cause of course it is), I've called Straight Talk and had them do whatever it is they do on their end multiple times with no success and unfortunately the only carrier we get signal with in my area is AT&T or I would be happy to just switch to a Verizon SIM. I also tried looking for a way to root the darn thing (and tried using the rom I found in another thread here to change it from N960U to N960U1 but mine must be on a different update than that rom) cause I'm sure with access I could bypass all AT&T's crap but my security update is too recent to allow for root access so I'm worried it may just be stuck...
Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated! I'm so frustrated with this phone I'm half tempted to chuck it out my window lol.
Hi, @cloudyrei
I am currently on Old Folks Cellular/Consumer Cellular with an AT&T sim.
Had to change sim cards after the recent 3G shutdown because IMS no longer registered.
Are you using a launcher that can access activities on your N9?
If not, please download Activity Launcher from the F-droid store. I use it on N9 and N20U.
In the Activities menu, please search for: "Call Settings" - this will be found under Call Settings (com.samsung.android.app.telephonyui.hiddennetworksetting.MainActivity) and create a shortcut
"Mobile Network" - this will be found under "Settings" in Activities (com.android.settings.network.telephony.MobileNetworkActivity) and create a shortcut
"Phone info" is also listed under "Settings" in Activities (com.android.settings.RadioInfo) and create a shortcut
Please open "Phone info" and select "LTE only" at the "Set preferred Network Type."
This menu also shows Data network type and Voice network type, which should display "LTE."
On my N9, the "Call Settings" will not have anything selected underneath "Network" or "Band Selection."
Hopefully, you can access your mobile network settings for Straight Talk via "Mobile Network."
Then check settings for your SIM card status in "About phone."
Oh! Thank you for that app! That helps a lot so I don't have to type that string into the dialer every time!
Unfortunately this is what I'm looking at with LTE only selected and I also went through the whole list and tried every one of them just in case and they all look the same only with some variation in signal strength but that's about it...
You are welcome, @cloudyrei, and so sorry that I couldn't help you.
Please set your phone back to its original mobile network settings.
Please remove your screenshot because it has your phone number and other info on it.
Is your phone on Android 10, One UI 2.5?
I looked around for Straight Talk's (AT&T) APN settings, and found this:
Straight Talk APN Settings for Android 2023 - 5G 4G LTE APN USA
Straight Talk Verizon AT&T T-Mobile US 5G 4G LTE 3G Internet and MMS Settings for Android Galaxy S9 S8 S5 S6 S7 M21 M31 F41 S20+ S21 S21+ 5G Tab Note On HTC One Desire Wildfire LG Optimum Xperia LG APN Settings by SMS Text APN to 611611 Straight Talk APN for Android On the
www.apnsettings.org
Before tinkering with your apn settings, you may want to contact Straight Talk to confirm you have 4G LTE.
I had to contact the service provider for a new sim card because it would not register the IMS.
Here's the settings on my N9:
Oh heck you're right! I thought about that maybe having my info on it awhile after I put it up but forgot to go back and check! I haven't gotten any weird calls yet at least so woo!
Yes my phone is on Android 10, One UI 2.5
I reverted the mobile network settings and tried the other APN and it does make it so the mobile data works, however, I still can't make phone calls or text.
I'm sure I have LTE as all of the things function normally with the sim in the backup phone with the cracked screen I have, It's a Galaxy S10.
Here's my settings in the Note 9 as of now. I cropped out the part with my number and such this time lol.
Are you turning off the power in your N9 when you place the SIM card in it, @cloudyrei?
Thank goodness you did not receive any strange phone calls. lol
Does Straight Talk send you a "configuration message" via text for your APN, SMS, and browser settings when you place your SIM in your N9?
I do not download the configuration message for APN, SMS or browser settings.
I noticed that downloading each one changes the default SIM.
If you downloaded the configuration message settings, you could try setting it back to the default settings for your SIM by going into "Settings," "Connections," "Mobile Networks," then "Access Point Names."
Then reset to default by clicking on the 3-button menu.
Please power off your N9 if you reset the SIM.
Remove SIM, wait a few, Insert SIM, then power on.

If this doesn't work, I hope someone can help you.
I had to request a new SIM from CC after the 3G shutdown.
The IMS would not register on the N9 or N20U.
The SIM card I had to replace was originally used in an unlocked Galaxy Note8, which was on Consumer Cellular network with a T-mobile SIM.
The new SIM is an AT&T SIM.
I remember reading that some N9 owners had problems after the 3G shutdown and had to get a new SIM.
Then, I tinkered around with the "Phone settings," (from Activity Manager's shortcut) and set it to LTE only.

Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but I bought my sister a Note 9 specifically for the deprecation of 3/2G.
Verizon finished sunsetting their towers recently and now my sister's N960U cannot even connect to the towers that would send config messages. And "VoLTE provisioned" is not enabled.
This sim works in other VoLTE phones and gets provisioned. Its only the N9 that won't provision.
One thing I noticed was the IMEI number under Phone Info is one number off from the IMEI that shows under "About Phone" is this normal?
I would figure that the IMEI should be complete in "Phone info" and maybe thus us the reason why Straight Talk can't provision VoLTE?
@rjones97
My apologies for replying so late to your questions about your sister's Note9.
Were you able to receive service with Straight Talk for her phone?
Unfortunately, we haven't. Straight Talk support is assuring me that everything is configured correctly on their side. The last thing they did was submit a report to Verizon about the account. They said to expect a reply the next day, but nothing came through.
Hi, @rjones97
Is your sister's N9 unlocked?
If your sister had service w/ Verizon/Straight Talk before Verizon ended service for 2/3G, you may want to ask if they will send you another SIM card for her Note9.
I had to get another SIM (AT&T) from Consumer Cellular because the IMS service would not register.
Or you could try these settings on this webpage to see if her phone will work.

Now, leave the rest blank.
Also unclick on: Use only 2G (Saves Battery)
Now reboot. And that's it. Jenga! Your Net should be set!
Now I don't know further since I am on Idea Cellular. I had used the BSNL Card for only a couple of days for stand by
Ok, give it a try !
Good Luck!
I tried everything and got fed up and just bought an airtel sim with a booster pack. I am just here for a 10 day visit and needed tethering and airtel seems to be the only one with a 4gb 3g data plan. Thanks anyways 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.

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.
Can't now find a thread here that told how to change APN settings (I saved that link) for T-Mobile. My problem is making a non-TMobile phone work for wi-fi calling, and I'm asking if changing APN settings has anything to do with that. Several TM agents have told me unless it's their phone, it won't work on wi-fi, but I still find this hard to accept. I popped in their SIM card and it worked great on the network, but when I came home to wi-fi, no dice. Any ideas? Thanks! (Of course the phone is wi-fi capable and was used as such with my previous carrier)

I firmly believe it has more to do with being baked into the T-Mobile firmware. I've seen & had many issues myself regarding unlocked phones and WiFi Calling. I had trouble on my original One Plus One, have issues with my current BlackBerry Passport which supports it (but we don't sell it), and various Unlocked Androids from a range of different manufacturers & carriers. I've also lost WiFi on T-Mobile branded phones when I've rooted and flashed custom non T-Mobile based firmware.
However, there are A LOT of menus hidden on the Note 7. Try this out...Go to the Play Store & search for QuickShortcutMaker. The icon is yellow/orange with a hand shaped in an L pushing a button. Download and open it, you'll see a huge list of applications. Scroll until you find Phone and you may see 3 applications that say phone. You'll click on the one that says "com.android.phone" below it. Keep scrolling until you see the options in the screenshot. Click on them, then hit "Try" and it should reveal the hidden menus. Those ones highlighted state VZW & WiFi/Advanced Calling so they may reveal a switch to enable.
When I hit Try it won't open but I have a T-Mobile model so let me know if that helps!

So my Unlocked Note 9 works great on Verizon Prepaid, however, it does not work on the Verizon MVNO Red Pocket Mobile. This would have been great to know before purchasing a 6 month plan, but alas I am stuck. The sim works fine in my Moto G5 plus, so it has to be either Samsung or Red Pocket causing the problem.
Red Pocket has no specific APN settings for their Verizon plan, and Network mode says "LTE/3g/2g (auto connect)"
The device switches between full bars and no service. When there are bars, it says "device not registered on network."
Customer Service is confused and useless.
Has anyone else experienced this issue with their device or know how to fix it?

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately those functions do not work without the device being seen as registered on the network, and network unavailability prevents it as well
Are you SURE you're on the CDMAV plan, not CDMAS, GMSA or GMST plans? The Moto G5 Plus would work with any of the 4, but a locked Verizon Note might not (I've heard Verizon changed their locking policy to be more restrictive with the Note 9, but may be mistaken).

I am positive. I checked, rechecked, and triple checked with CS agents over the course of many hours. It began with an imei verification in which they said it was compatible with cdmav, and ended with them saying that my device was not compatible with the cdmav plan and them hanging up abruptly.

I had the same problem with my factory unlocked Galaxy S9. I found others with this issue here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/help/unlocked-s9-register-verizon-mvno-t3768141
Someone posted somewhat of a workaround here which I did successfully for the month I was on Redpocket:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76313042&postcount=18
Fortunately I still had my Pageplus SIM card available to do this trick. Any time my phone was rebooted I had to go through this process.
I am having the same problem with my unlocked s9. It is really annoying.
If anyone knows what Red Pocket can do from their end to fix this, please let us know.

Possible Solution for Red Pocket-Verizon Problems
POSSIBLE SOLUTION!! (YMMV)
I had a similar problem when I upgraded to Android 10. I no longer had CDMA as a choice for Network mode. Here is the solution that worked for me:
Step #1:
Go to the phone dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*
This will bring up a new screen
Select "Phone Information"
You will be greeted with a scary-looking screen with lots of stuff
Scroll down and look for "Set Preferred Network Type"
Select "LTE/CDMA auto (PRL)" from the drop-down
This will give you phone service... but not data.
STEP #2
To get data services, you will need to create an APN.
Go to settings/connections/mobile networks/Access Point Names
Click on add and enter the following:
APN Name: Verizon
APN: VZWINTERNET
MCC: 311
MNC: 480
Authentication Type: None
APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
I found that this APN worked for me... (YMMV)
Hope this is helpful...

Thanks mm_hockey! Your steps worked perfectly on my Red Pocket Verizon (VZW / CDMAV) S9+. After upgrading my phone to Android 10 and (at the same time) switching from carrier (but not ROM) unlocked SM-G965U to ROM-unlocked SM-G965U1, my previously working Red Pocket service and SIM stopped working. But now it's great!

Hate to bring this thread back from the dead, but this is the only information I found on this issue.

Hi All,
I have recently bought unlocked xperia 1 ii US version and this phone supports Verizon (cdma less) network. I use Visible provider (Visible uses Verizon network). Now when i insert Visible sim into my new phone.. It treats it as verizon sim and applies Verizon Apn settings I believe but to make Visible network work it needs visible specific APN settings. But there is no way to add APN settings manually, apn settings menu goes away when i insert visible sim but i am able to see apn settings when i insert tmobile sim, can you please help me and let me know how to manually add Visible APN settings as I dont see option to add APN when I insert Visible sim
On my phone (international model) go to Settings > Network and Internet > Mobile Network > Advanced the last option is Names of Accespoints. If you press there, you get in the APN screen. on the top there is a + sign .

But there is no way to add APN settings manually, apn settings menu goes away when i insert visible sim but i am able to see apn settings when i insert tmobile sim, can you please help me and let me know how to manually add Visible APN settings as I dont see option to add APN when I insert Visible sim

Were you ever able to figure this out? I'm wanting to give Visible a try as well but I've ran into this same issue. Oddly enough, US Mobile works just fine using the standard Verizon APN
No man, it didn't work, had to switch my provider

I was able to add the APNs in by adding them while my Mint SIM card was in the phone and swapping the SIM cards back and forth while I was saving them if one wouldn't let me save due to an APN type. It was kind of a waste of time though because even after successfully getting all 4 APNs in and selecting the right one for Data, nothing happened and it didn't really matter if I was rebooting the phone or switching in and out of airplane mode. It seems that no matter what I did, the phone would not connect to the carrier which is a shame. Maybe it would work on an AOSP ROM but I don't think I could be bothered just to try a carrier on it.
