Anyone activated Nexus 4 on ATT

[TRSpeed3]

I should have my N4 by tomorrow, I plan on using a IMEI number from an Atrix HD and configuring my device with PTA - APN. I'm currently running speed tests with my iphone 4 for baselines, my N4 should be faster. Wish me luck!

It's the way AT&T provisions SIM card for LTE devices. You have to call back and have them provision your SIM for HSPA+ (no LTE) and then data will work on your Nexus 4? apparently.

I know I'm late to this conversation, but I work at an at&t franchise so I figure I could help with this, at&t provisions iphones with a different feature than any other smartphone (they do it with blackberrys as well) so you need to get at&t to switch your data plan from an iphone data plan to a "normal" smartphone data plan

I've been trying to get my data plan changed to unlimited 4g smartphone and just can't seem to get anyone to do it right. I even gave then the imei from a 4g hspa+ phone and still nothing. I've gone to the store, chatted online. What are my options?

I've been reading throught this thread with interest but am still a bit confused. I'm picking up a brand new unlocked nexus 4 next week and was wondering if I put these this sim in ( cut down to micro size) AT&T GoPhone Sim Card - Walmart.com and top up with this AT&T $25 Refill - Walmart.com, will it give me 3g data access? Thanks for the help.

Took my Sim card out my LTE lumia 900 and it worked.. No worries..

Nothing. That's what I'm doing. AT&T seems incapable of getting that right. Why is the IMEI number so important? They want to verify what else that can charge you with or if it's one of their phones. Other than that, the information is worthless to them. They need the serial number of the SIM for the connection and a plan to go with it, but because of their cross sell attempts we can only get HSPA and not HSPA+ without a fake IMEI number. As much as I have nothing to complain about their service since over 10 years, this is absurd.

I don't think this is accurate. I've activated my Nexus 4 on AT&T's GoPhone service and have no problem getting HSPA+. I activated my phone using it's legitimate IMEI number, not a fake one.

Does your phone display H or H+ in the notification bar?

H+. It idles at H and immediately switches to H+ when there's a demand for data.

Interesting. I'm on post paid and have never seen the H+, even though I'm getting the speeds. I know mine is doing the same. When I check mobile network type, I get HSPA:10 when idle and HSPA:15 when in use.

I know the stock ROM does exactly what you're describing. Some custom ROMs have the H+ symbol, I'm on CyanogenMod 10 personally. As long as the mobile network type says HSPA+, that's all that matters.
