What APN settings are you using with AT&T?

Just curious as some APN settings render faster speeds and some make MMS not work.

Hey Matt, did you ever experiment with these and find anything?

Hey Matt, did you ever experiment with these and find anything?

I'm gonna try this. [FIX] AT&T SGS2 Data Speed Issue's (Correct APN Settings) - xda-developers

I just read all 40 pages on the above XDA thread and seems it is a hit or miss changing the APN settings but overall not very consistent - Please post what you find

I am using the phone APN and everything works great, including MMS. At work I get about 5-6 Mbps down and 1-2 Mbps up. At home I only get 1-2 Mbps up and down but I usually only have around 2 bars. My latency is always right around 100ms.

One other thing that I did was call AT&T CS and change the provisioning on my data plan to the 4G HSPA+ plan(I came from an iPhone 4). I believe the plan code is HSDPPB. I am also on the unlimited data plan (for now....)

Thanks, does your GN show H or H+ on signal strength?

 

[quietriot84]

It shows H, but I am pretty sure that the GN doesn't use H+ on the signal indicator.

It shows H, but I am pretty sure that the GN doesn't use H+ on the signal indicator.

Thanks, mine shows H the majority of the time, and I triple checked with AT&T to make sure that I was on the smartphone 4G data plan. As well in Android Systems Info it shows HSDPA

Hey guys... I just found out about the APN issues that some of us might have...

I created the "phone" APN and with a few test I don't see an increase in multiple locations...

The highest D/L I have seen is 5.25Mb (once) on either the Cingular or "phone" APN in Manhattan...

At my home location in Long Island I only see a max of about 1.25Mb...

My account is provisioned with the code: HSSMT2GBH w/ a newer SIM
(FWI, The system still thinks my phone is the Nokia 900 LTE)

My questions:

1. Am I provisioned correctly?

2. Why isn't the "pta" APN not connecting for me?

3. Are the speeds I am attaining about right for the GNex H+ data rates on ATT?

Thanks again for all the help guys...

 

[mrkalel]

Sorry for the BUMP but a few of more things..

1. After needing to do something with my account, my GNex IMEI is now listed correctly.

2. I noticed that either with "phone" or the standard "Cingular" APN's I see the GNex will jump sometimes to HSPA+: 15 ...but mostly stays on "8"

3. Still will not connect with "pta" APN


What exactly does the GNex support in terms of HSPA+ speeds?

Any help would be great guys!
