Thanks, I forgot to put that. Multiple Speedtest.net app tests show 800k-1.1m down, 500k-1m upload.

Are you using the recommended radio for the rom? Have you tried the latest OTA radio? It's what I use w/ great results. Have you gotten better speeds at some point? Have you called ATT to see if there's a tower issue in your area? This is more common than you'd think.

Yes, this is the recommended radio for this ROM. I haven't checked to see if there is a later radio or not.

It looks like you are in need of a 2nd APN. Here is an APN config that has been known to greatly increase speeds in many markets (as posted in my APN reconfig thread).
Your first APN looks fine. You left off the "password" parameter (directly below the username), but I'm assuming you've got asterisks in your password field, which means it is set properly. So all you need to do is add a second one.
Press Menu button --> settings --> wireless and networks --> mobile networks --> Access Point Names. Press Menu button, then "New APN"
Put in these settings. Be careful and don't mistype anything - everything is case sensitive
Name: MediaNet2
APN: Phone
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: xxx (Don't change this number!!! It should be set for your market automatically)
MNC: xxx (Don't change this number!!! It should be set for your market automatically)
APN type: default,admin
APN protocol (if applicable): IPv4
Everything else: <Not set>
Once you have the above settings entered, press menu and save. You are now back at the APN selection screen. Now we need to select the new APN you just created - press on the little round button on the right side of the MediaNet2 APN. Your phone's data connection will drop for a few seconds as it switches to the new APN. If your phone won't stay stuck on the new APN, let me know and I've got a fix for that too.
Now run some speed tests. Don't judge too quick; sometimes you have to run multiple tests to multiple locations at different times of day. You should see significant improvement. If not, then your market doesn't need the 2nd APN. But it's worth a shot; this fix works for many. The root of the issue (and the reason we added this second APN) is because most almost all custom ROMs don't contain the same APN config as the stock ROM.

I added the 2nd apn, speeds are now consistently 1.2m down, 300k up.
I also sometimes get network error with the new apn.

Hmm, that is still no good. What were your speeds on the stock ROM?

On a previous version of LeeDroid, I've gotten much higher speeds. That was however in a different part of town.

Try my thread in my signature.

Now it's markedly worse. Only getting 800k down, 500k up on multiple tests. It's also much more "spikey" in terms of throughput. (lots of peaks and valleys with the speed, instead of a nice consistent level).

Keep in mind the AT&T network in your area may be to blame. I've never seen consistently high speeds.

Nightly 96 and the latest OTA radio. I'll provide links this evening, I'm on lunch now.

I've heard many success stories with using the ota (06.06.03 iirc) in Dallas.
I flashed the newest HTC radio and got better connectivity, but overall speed performance is a lot better on the ota radio.
The Dev forum has a radio thread on the first or second page with the rils as well.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App

Best mod is to call att and ***** at them for inconsistent speeds. The network is 90% of the problem. Radios, rils, all that ain't gonna do that much.
If I didn't know any better I would think they did, depending on the time of day I test at my house. Sometimes I get 5000 up, 3000 down. A few hours earlier or later it will struggle to hit 600 up, 300 down. If I flashed a new rom in between these times, I'd be thinking - hey this new rom sucks. Until the next day when the same thing happens.

Thanks. I'm trying CM7 daily (99 rev), the 26.06.06.30_M OTA radio, and the matching RIL.

OK gang, I think I got it, here was my solution.
Firstly, I wasn't sold on my current ROM. I was open to trying another. Since someone else in DFW was running a CM7 Daily with good results, that's the route I went.
1. Switched to CM7 daily (rev99)
2. Updated the APNs as the "Procedure for AOSP based ROMs (CM7)" section states in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042553
3. Loaded the matched AT&T OTA Update - Radio: 12.39a.60.19x_26.06.06.30_M Radio and RIL from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106324
4. Loaded the LordMod Kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020637
5. Modified my build.prop so that:
Code:
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=14
ro.ril.hsupa.category=6
Add all that up, and I'm getting 2.1-3.5mbps down and 600-1k upload!!

Good deal.

This.
If one monitors the condition of the network with an app like open signal this becomes plain. In East Portland I'm between 2 and 6Mbps down with a high of 7.8 ( I can consistently hit >7 off a specific tower between 5-5:15am) and 100kbps-2Mbps up. RSSI's for specific towers vary wildly.

Those settings are for HSPA+
My theme is for CM9/AOKP found here:

---------- Post added at 01:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 AM ----------
Even if you use the LTE settings it will use the highest available in your area for example I use the LTE settings and I went to an area that had HSPA+ so my signal icon popped up with H, or 3G in 3G areas etc... Though you can use those settings if you want to keep it at lower speeds/uses less power as well.
I did this apn, and I'm only gettig hspa, not hspa+.
Any other apn?
Try the regular one.

You don't need a custom ROM or Radio to change APN just go to your System Settings and Wireless & networks / Mobile network settings and edit the Access points.
I'm in central florida right now, moving to Jacksonville in a few months :good:
Still not working. Any other ideal
So you're only getting 3G (HSPA) speeds and you want 4G (HSPA+)?
Is it the area you're in or do you have other phones also giving you 4G speeds?

Guys, thanx so much for the quick responses. But I think I figured out why I can't get hspa+.
My original phone is a Nokia n92 that i got when i signed up with ATT back in the day. I have a data plan from that phone - which is called UNLIMITED DATA FOR NON SMART PHONE. - I think its $10 bucks a month.
I took the sim card out of the Nokia and used it in my iPhone, with apn unlockitz.
I did not have to buy a iPhone data plan, and the internet worked great. I was seeing 4-5 down and 1-1.5 up.... not bad for 3g
Now I'm using the SR, with the same 3g data plan...
So that's why I'm not getting hspa+....
When I go to ABOUT PHONE- IT SAYS IM ON JUST HSPA...
If I do a custom rom,with a custom radio- is there a way around this without changing my data plan so I can be on hspa+
These are the current speeds with the SR WITH THE 3G APN
The phone APN DOES NOT WORK, CUS IM NOT ON THAT DATA PLAN
????????
even though the phone doesn't say HSPA+ you are getting the proper speeds of HSPA+, the speeds do vary from area to area, my area in particular doesn't get more than 3megs/s wile if i head up north to the next big city i get 6megs/s if you are looking for anything more than that you will have to see if your area has LTE
At least you still have the unlimited plan lol. I'm paying like $25? for 300mb lol. Whats LTE when you're limited

Haha yeah I know, I'll probably switch to something else after college but for now this is good enough and the area where am at the signal is good for ATT and most of the time I'm indoors with wifi (gym, school, home) so I don't need it as much. Only use it now for GPS and light updates when I'm on the go. :good:

No, they do not offer LTE in pay-as-you-go plans; and it will probable be a very long time before they do offer it as that will be reserved for making the most money.

[APN][AT&T][MMS][HSPA+] Single APN for HSPA+ Speeds AND MMS - (Updated 1/1)

Hey everyone,
As many of you know, APN switching can be a sporadic mess in AOSP roms. We've either had to deal with it or have a single APN at standard HSPA speeds. The following is a SINGLE APN solution that has been working after hours of trial and error and testing. I can't guarantee it will work for everyone, but please use this as a reference for future builds. So far so good.
APN: phone
mmsc: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
mms proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port: 80
MCC:310
MNC:410
APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri
After hours of testing on many ROM's, I feel like these are appropriate APN settings that everyone can use. I've gotten my best data speeds ever AND MMS to work without having to worry about APN switching. Thanks to all the testers! This has been officially moved to the development thread as a reference to AOSP and AT&T phone developers.
Disclaimer: May not work for everyone

9. New APN
10. Enter the above settings and make sure you hit menu>save when you're done!
11. Select your newly created APN
12. Reboot and enjoy!
Update 7-24: It has also come to my attention that port 8080 works. I am under the impression that it is higher security for sending MMS messages. Thanks!
Update 2 7-24: User xxxSuperserieSxxx has reported the following working from an AT&T Infuse to and from another AT&T phone. I need testers for this fix as well for MMS messages to users on OTHER carriers (T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, etc). Thanks guys.

Update 8-13: For One X users only! Try changing "APN" to pta and add "fota" to APN type. Then make a second APN with the above settings. pta is for LTE, but you need a fallback when you aren't in an LTE covered area I believe. If I had an LTE phone i could test this, but sadly I don't yet.
Update 8-17: I'm now supporting ANY AT&T device on this thread. If I don't already have it listed, I will find a setting that works for you and test it with anyone who needs me to do so and asks nicely.
Update 8-21: For Inspire 4G owners only! You may want to include "fota" and "admin" in APN Type, separated by commas. For example, yours would read something like: APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri,admin,fota.
Update 9-15: For AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 owners only! Use the following to achieve LTE speeds and mms functionality:
APN: pta
mmsc: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
mms proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port: 80
MCC:310
MNC:410
APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri
Update 1-1: It seems a though AT&T is switching to a unified APN for all phones. This is the "phone" APN in the OP. This should be the default for all newer AT&T phones, whether they are LTE or not. This includes the Nexus 4 as well. Try it! Bottom line: Use the APN in the pictures above.
Report feedback to this thread. I will try my best to answer when possible
This is the old single APN HSPA method if the above settings are giving you difficulty. Data speeds are slower, but it seems to be old reliable.
APN: wap.cingular
mmsc: http://mmsc.cingular.com

Ok just tried it again with the change you suggested in your second post, and I can confirm it works, I was able to send a picture
I googled for an answer but gave up. So, if someone could tell me what h+ speeds are as opposed to 3g I would be thankful to them. I have a single apn that works well on my s2 but not sure if the speeds are right. My infuse is on cm 10 or I would test with that .

Well to put it simply, HSPA+ is a lot faster than regular HSPA. HSPA is what most people know as 3G. HSPA+ is what AT&T called "4G" before LTE. HSPA+ is capable of WAY faster speeds. For example, both the S2 and the Infuse are capable of 21Mbps HSPA+ with the exception of t-mobile which is capable of 42. Now in real life on HSPA is get around 3-4Mbps DL's. On HSPA+ I've seen anywhere from 7-11 at max. I hope this helps. This is actually a good read if you want more specific information on HSPA+ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolved_HSPA

No problem, glad I could contribute. I wish I could have more input when it comes to the data speeds but my connection here at work sucks.

I am getting from 2.5 to 5.7 Mbps and able to send and receive mms on my s2. My son is using infuse with cm10 . ( Finally quit bugging me to use my upgrade so he could get the s2)
Here is the single apn that works on s2 if anyone wants to try it.

Everything else reads not set.

I've been having some attachment issues since flashing CM9 a couple of weeks ago... as you said, sporadic. I was lucky enough to stumble upon your new thread while heading over to find some APN settings to try. Plugged in the ones you suggested, rebooted, and voila! Works like a charm so far. :good: I'll report back if I have any problems. Thanks!

No problem that's exactly what I needed to know. I talked to the mods and this thread is now worthy of the development section as a reference. Thanks again to everyone involved in testing! If you'd like a shoutout in the OP just send me a PM and I'll add you.

Testing now...go to settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks. Did you accidentally hit the data toggle while you were in the APN settings? My data is working just fine upon reboot and everything. I am running CM10 though, but that shouldn't make a difference.

Turn off LTE and use H+ Only / Become Unthrottled

This is courtesy of XDA member Bajanman's thread on the AT&T Note 2 forum. Let's test these APN's out on the S4 and see what happens. Changing the APN is also a way to become unthrottled if you still have unlimited data from AT&T.
This is a guide for changing your apn for throttling issues or trying to get a better signal.
Here's a list of the ATT APN list that I put together. I have tested these some work with everything DATA,LTE,MMS,VOICE, ETC. And some of them were request from other members here. So I just posted what was asked for into one location. If they work for you keep them if not, just delete and keep the ones you'll b using. NEVER DELETE THE STOCK APN JUST IN CASE!
If I run across any others I sure to add them here.
If anyone has any that I missed let me know and I'll add them to the list...
#1.Go into setting, then more setting, mobile networks, then pick Access point Names.
#2. In order to enter a new APN, hit the left menu key. Pick New APN, then enter your APN setting as listed below. After that hit Menu again then save! Then you can select that Apn, by hitting the dot next to the new apn
Everyone's results will vary, pending on location...

Some additional info for ppl who are curious: AT&T has different plans for different devices.
So for example, there is a 3GB 3G smartphone plan, a 3GB 4G (HSPA+) plan, and a 3GB 4G (LTE) plan.
The pta APN is only accessible on LTE plans.
The phone APN is accessible on HSPA+ plans and possibly 3G plans
The wap APN is accessible on *most* plans
The broadband APN is active on tablet plans, and plans with hotspot/tethering (Mobile Share, 4GB DataPro/5GB DataPro)
Used "AT&T Test 5" and it definitely made my speed faster and lowerd my ping. Recommend big time.

the wap.cingular APN is an expired APN that is no longer utilized for data connectivity except on older phones that are only 3G capable. Though it may work, its never recommended.
PTA was what was used when LTE was first rolling out for AT&T, this is the APN that comes stock on some of the first LTE devices that came out 1+ years ago (skyrocket, SGS3, Note1, HTC Vivid, etc).
phone is the APN that is currently applied today, this is now what all data plans apply regardless of the phone (LTE or not), and it can be utilized for any connectivity. By default, this will choose the highest available connectivity the device can use, IE: LTE devices will get LTE, standard 4G devices will get H+, etc.
broadband, though functional, is as listed above, utilized primarily for tablets, and phones that can tether. The reason it kicks back to the original APN when you try to use it, is because the phone reaches out to AT&T, sees that you don't have the 4/5 GB plan (or mobile Share), and tells your phone you can't tether without it. (however, when a phone is rooted and running custom ROMs, it ignores this check and utilizes whatever APN is active when you try to turn on tethering)
Generally speaking, I'd strongly recommend using the "phone" APN, or "PTA" APN (whichever works best for you) for your phone.
I work in data support at a call center for AT&T, btw. I get to deal with these types of questions everyday.

Great info!!!
Which APN would force HSPA+ (4G) only in an LTE coverage area?
Nope.
Unfortunately, there is no APN that FORCES H+ in LTE coverage area.
There are some roundabout ways to have it done that I've seen, like tampering with the network modes and such on the phone, but there isn't any AT&T way to do it. (not on android phones)
You should probably wait for like, Cyanogenmod or something to come out that enables LTE disable functionality.

the reason why test 5 worked better for you is because you set it to port 8080. the default att phone apn port is 80 but for some people port 8080 works better. the default att phone apn also has hipri in its apn type. also some people get better speeds when they specifically set apn authentication to none.

I think "pta" also had something to do with it though. My mom's GS2 (Skyrocket) was getting faster LTE speeds than my S4 and she was using "pta" instead of "phone" like mine was using. Either way I'm happy

but you can forced the phone on wcdma only using *#*#4636*#*# settings.
and even that didnt work for me. i had really slow speed on hspa when they throtled my phone. but I found out when i put my sim to a different phone and i still got my lte. it seems that att only throttles the phone based on the imei number that registered to the network.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
If dodging the throttling is what your goal is, then just get on your myATT app and change your plan to the non visual voicemail version and back and it will be fine again. This resets your data usage back to zero, but it may cause pro-rated charges on your bill.

Thanks for this - played around a bit and did seem to get slightly higher speeds with the "test 5" configuration - it will be interesting to see if that holds up over time and proves to be consistently higher.
Having said this - I don't know if anyone else has experienced this - but I typically only get LTE speeds in my house at around 6500 MBS - much slower than what I get at work (28000 mbs) or even as much as 45000 MBS in some areas around town - speeds at my house have always been slow on every phone I have owned.
Since I got my S4 - I am typically getting speeds around 10000 MBS and soemtimes up to 15000 MBS - much faster than what I ever got on my NOTE 2 or the S3 I owned before I bought the note.
Is anyone else noticing speeds are higher with their New S4 in general or more specifically in areas that were always typically slower on their previous phones?

I'm not sure if this is the info you are looking for with enabling an HSPA only mode but if you go to testing mode (on dialer hit *#*#4636#*#*) click on Device info, change the setting from LTE/GSM auto (PRL) to GSM auto (PRL). After this you should notice your LTE change to just 4G. Hope this helps

Will not work. AT&T modems are RAT locked. If you do this, it won't stick. Try it out yourself.
However, taking the SIM card out and then selecting the option and then rebooting will work, but its a pain as you physically have to remove the battery too.

Could someone try this out and see if it works?
1) With phone on, take off back cover and press your SIM card so it releases from the spring. It won't come all the way out as it's blocked by the battery. This seems fine - I didn't bother trying to force it out as I didn't want to break anything...
2) Once you see the message that the SIM card is removed, go to the dialer and dial *#2263#
3) You should see a menu with band selections. The current setting is "Automatic". If you switch to "GSM All", you will be EDGE (2G). If you switch to "WCDMA All", you will be on HSPA+ (3G, though AT&T and others call it 4G).
4) Press the SIM card back into place until it clicks. For whatever reason the phone will not recognize it until you reboot. Upon reboot you should see your new setting in effect.

Actually, RAT locked or not this DOES work. I have been running at H+/nonLTE with no hiccups. I know the 2263 method doesnt work like it did on the Note2, though.

I can CONFIRM this does in fact work. I am shocked. The modem isn't RAT locked. I am to force EDGE, H+ only or all 3!!! Glad AT&T changed this. This wasn't possible on any other recent AT&T Samsung device.

Im using AT&T 5, i did notice a slight increase. I will be working near ATT antennas later today and see if I get better speeds.

AT&T LTE slower than HSPA?

I have given my IMEI to AT&T and the 'LTE' symbol appears correctly.
Speed test reports regularly 4-8 Mbs when 'H' is showing. But when 'LTE' shows, I can't get results above 1-2 Mbs. Anything under 3 is LTE, over is H:

Kinda weird and frustrating. Any ideas why? I've tried different areas. Do I need to do some manual APN tinkering, even in this day and age?
Here are the defaults when inserting their SIM card:
I'm also setting weird erratic results like upload speed 4 times faster than download.

You did 3 LTE speed tests within 3 minutes then waited another 2 hours and compared it to one done on HSPA. Not sure what the busy hours are on the eNB's around you but generally we would do the tests at the same time of day. Have you tried doing the speed test at a different location as well? I'd go at least 4KM away from your current location to make sure you are on a different eNB to verify it's the UE or that particular eNB which is limiting TPUT.
I went further away and the speed rose to 13 Mbs which was a relief.
Still disappointing that, at any time of day, in my area LTE is slower than H on AT&T.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I'll also say, make sure you check the server that the Speedtest.net app picks... For some reason, lately I've found it to be a little wonky... I (and some friends) have been getting hit with servers that are half way across the country. Eg; I live in WV, and it's given me servers in NY, WA, FL, and a few others, all while inside either my home or a friends house in town.

Perhaps the eNB has some limitations on the backhaul..
If I were to deploy a network to compete with VZW, I would quickly deploy LTE coverage (i.e. you see LTE show up on your status bar all over town) but then take my time and throw less $$ on capacity and optimization. But that's me.
I am also getting weird results with LTE on AT&T. I have the same APN settings as OP. I have not had LTE before, so they had to change my old 2 GB Galaxy S 2 data plan to some other 2 GB LTE-enabled plan.
All the results, except for the top (which was run w/ forced 3G) are on LTE. All the tests occurred indoors, with a few consecutive ones in the middle conducted outdoors.
Why is the upload faster than the download!?!?!?
I also had this problem about two months ago do to the fact at&t was not finish updating there towers here at my location now I'm getting great speeds

New thread created. Sorry. But I think posting your full APNs could help others solve your issue.
New Nexus 5 here -
On a Net10 SIM using AT&T and APN set correctly (tfdata) - LTE appears in the Nexus status bar - but, faster speeds with HSPA+ (on download), although ping is a bit better with LTE.
This is in Honolulu.
Speedtest.net selects Florida as default "closest server" when on LTE, and Oklahoma when on 3G; the closest I can actually change to on LTE is Texas. So, with Texas selected - LTE gives me 2.34mbps down, 5.68up and 170 ping; 3G HSPA+ gives me 5.71 down, 1.13up with 204ms ping.
Definitely not impressive for LTE.
Have tried 4x over several hours.
don't think signal strength is the issue as getting -84dbm/56asu on LTE.
although the 3G signal is even stronger at -67dbm/24asu.

I've had stellar results for every test of LTE with my 5 on AT&T
http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/640381244
I belive its something to do with the speed test app itself. I have AT&T, Verizon and Tmobile.
Before I use to get 42-50 on AT&T on the Gs4 and iphone 5. Same with Verizon and Tmobile.
Since the last update to the app Im getting 2-3mbs down and 5 up on all my phones across all networks. My iphone 5s is on Verizon and is having the same problem..
But I know the speed test is wrong because the speed in which I download apps is very fast and web browser is at LTE speeds.
I disagree. When it shows 1 Mbps LTE, downloading a huge app from the Play Store crawls along. For me, it's not the Speed test app.
Remember this thread is about LTE though.

I thinks its fair and logical based on mountains of evidence across the forums that there isn't an issue with LTE on this device with AT&T. If your seeing slow speeds its just the network being slow or the location your speedtest app is connected to is slow. Lots and lots of people are on this phone with AT&T without issue.
I'll admit that my results with SpeedTest are inconsistent, and mostly based on what server is used for testing. When I am offered a local server (Hartford, Boston or NYC), I get relatively high scores on both AT&T and T-Mobile. When I am offered servers a long distance away (say, Overland Park KS), my scores are much lower... even from the same tower at the same time.
I feel like my LTE is much slower than on my S4 in the same areas. Also gave ATT my SIM and IMEI.

I went further away and the speed rose to 13 Mbs which was a relief.
Still disappointing that, at any time of day, in my area LTE is slower than H on AT&T.

It could also just be a messed up tower. That's not, necessarily, indicative of overall LTE speed.
I had slow or no connection on the pre programmed settings, I changed the APN from phone to pta and that fixed my issue.

at home, my N5 LTE is just a little bit faster DL than HSPA+. At work, it flies. Might be the equipment in your neck of the woods?

D801 T-Mobile cm13: data not reconnecting after data drop

I've tried all of the cm13 ROMs and have the same problem with all of them. When my data connection is dropped, it never reconnects until I manually turn data off and then on again. What I see in the status bar is the signal and LTE indicators with an exclamation point.
I've tried resetting my network settings from the "backup and reset" settings, and creating a new APN, but neither worked.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks!

I had the same issue, went back to rooted stock. [emoji30]
Potential Solution
I have a potential solution to this (or a similar) problem.
My phone setup:
LG G2 (D801, tmobile)
Lg-devs LP bookstack - bootstack-d801-LP_30b-bump-signed.zip
CM13 April snapshot
Data roaming is enabled
Symptoms:
Data connection works fine 95% of the time. When I am driving on a highway away from civilization the tmobile signal will drop (and the phone may try to roam). Eventually I will get signal again and the phone jumps back onto the tmobile. Voice calling comes back as normal, data does not. Phone says "LTE" but there is an exclamation point and there is no internet connectivity in any apps.
Solution:
It is not clear to me why this problem is occurring. It seems to be related to the APN settings. The base APN settings on cm13 for tmobile (fast.t-mobile.com) are set to IPv6. Initially I tried changing it to IPv4/IPv6 and it didn't help. I then tried changing it to IPv4 only. The internet connection died completely. I tried a restart, airplane mode etc. The fast.t-mobile.com APN doesn't seem to like IPv4 (again, not sure why).
To fix the problem I had to add a new APN with the settings below. This APN seems to work with both IPv4 and IPv6. I tested to ensure that the original symptoms are resolved by driving the same stretch of highway where the problem could be replicated.
If someone can explain why this solution is working I would appreciate it.

i will try those settings as I have the exact same problem, also I live in the border of us and travel a lot out of USA and the roaming kicks but no data, only calls , hope this resolve that also. thanks

why you change the apn from fast.t-mobile.com
to epc.tmobile.com
is that the problem? or just the ipv4/ipv6 thing

Not sure. It seems like the fast.tmobile APN does not work with ipv4. When I force the phone to ipv4 only with the fast.tmobile APN, there is no internet at all.

ic,
i hope that someone that knows in deep the inner workings of the networking data part of CM13 can clarify this for us, with a stock firmware haven't had that problem , I was on cloudy 3.3 for a while and worked flawless on the data connection and roaming data , but then it started to lag and slowdown a lot , Cm13 is blazing fast is like having a more faster processor phone, what I don't like about Cm13 is the camera ,it is subpar compared to the stock LG one, altough is the same hardware , wish that somebody come with a port of the stock lg G2 camera or someone can come up with some better raw image processing libraries , as most people know, the secret of a great "phone camera" is not the camera chipset and sensor per see although newer more expensive and big sensors capture more light and yield better results,but the software to process and manipulate those raw direct from the sensor data, to achieve a superior end product you must use high grade noise reduction/sharpening libraries plus the AI software core that decide what exposure /aperture/ Iso to use for a given image scenario, as far as I know lg do not release the source for their cameras to the developer community ,unless somebody can reverse engineer or just extract those libraries to make a functional g2 camera to be included in Cyanogenmod or any aosp version it will be awesome.

but that happens on cm , stock works great with fast .tmobile.com at default settings....any clues??
I had the same problem on CM13, and now also on CRDroid 2.0 (7.1.1 Nougat). On the CRDroid build, I've found that turning on Mobile Data Saver seems to help a lot, though I'm not sure if it completely fixes the problem. The difference between the fast... and epc... APNs is supposed to be no LTE on epc. I've seen posts where people claim that they get better data rates using epc though. I did notice a typo in your APN Type settings. sulp should be supl.
I'll have to give this a try and let you know if it helps for me.
