Here's what I did on a brand new Nexus 4. Delete existing APN (there was an AT&T one in there by default) Add a new Straight Talk APN, using the one suggested in the Straight Talk documentation, except I left Proxy and Port blank. Menu => Save APN After about 10 seconds, with no restart...

I couldn't even get an EDGE connection...

When I turned on the phone, I'd have a data connection for about a minute, then it would drop, and wouldn't come back until a restart, at which point I'd have data for a minute, then it'd drop, etc, etc. Yes, I made sure WiFi was off, data was enabled, it was fresh from a factory reset, and I...

...and the specialist from the shipping department has confirmed there is back order on replacement devices, and said it should arrive within the next 3 weeks. This is technically better than 3-5 weeks, but still very frustrating.

The issue with the phone was it woudn't maintain a data connection over cellular radio on AT&T towers (tried both AT&T and Straight Talk SIMS, every APN I could find here and on XDA, factory resets, etc). After being told about the 3-5 weeks, I called back and the guy on the phone said he was...

I initiated the email discussion after a week went by and the replacement device hadn't shipped (I was told over the phone during the original RMA process that it would ship in 2-3 business days). So, replied to the original e-mail that accompanied my RMA call. Google employee Chuck responded...

Yeah I'm in the U.S. The discussion about the 1% replacement stock happened via e-mail. I actually called them after that and talked to a rep who was unaware of this problem and had no idea why my replacement hasn't shipped yet. He said he's transferring my ticket up to a higher power. So...

I ordered my replacement via the RMA link on Dec. 2nd and was told it would ship within 2 to 3 days. Today I was updated. It will ship within 3 to 5 weeks!!! :mad: The Google rep told me that they planned for a 1% return rate for defects, and had set aside the appropriate stock. However, he...

True enough. Sorry my snarky level was at a high this morning....

You sound like the Straight Talk customer service guy: "Sir, have you restarted your device? Sir, we're going to have to do a factory restore. Sir, I need you to install our iOS APN writing app. Sir, the iOS app won't install? Then, I'm not sure what the problem is." ;) But seriously folks...

1) Phone powers up. WiFi is OFF, Data is Enabled. 2) I have 4 bars of reception. They are blue. There is an 'H' above them. 3) I can browse the internet just fine. 4) Approximately 3 to 5 minutes have passed. 5) I can no longer browse the internet (page requests time out). Other apps also...

...except there's no tmo coverage where I live... but, yes, I agree it would have helped with troubleshooting!

From what I understood of the process, the AT&T tech support person had to use a dummy IEMI from a smartphone with comparable specs, i.e., Android HSPA+. She never did tell me which device's IMEI number she ended up using (and I should have asked, but I didn't!). She did say that someday I could...

So I got my Nexus 4 and slapped a Straight Talk AT&T SIM in it. I got on to an HSPA:10 network with speeds of about 10Mbps down. Unfortunately, my data connection would drop after about 3 to 5 minutes and the only way to restore it was to restart the phone, only to have data drop out again after...
