Hello, I bought an unlocked version of the sensation originally from bell to use on AT&T. I had an iPhone 4 which had a mini sim and went to AT&T to switch it out, they gave me a normal sim but the data didn't work. I went there today to ask them about it and they tried to manually put in the APN settings, but had no luck. Does anyone know what the problem may be? Thanks in advance.
Do you guys think this is AT&T's problem? Could it be a problem with the sim change because I got text on the new phone saying"thank you for upgrading your phone" could it have taken away the data?
Just call them and check. You should be able to add the unlimited non smartphone data for $15 and still get the same 3g speeds. Tell them you switched to a dumb phone and give the sensation imei if they ask. Their system won't be able to recognize that you are using a smartphone.
If you need apn settings let me know, the default wap.cingular should work fine.

I just got a Win SIM card here in Italy for my Inspire. I got data and just the usual minutes and messages. However, nothing works at the moment. is there stuff I should be doing prior to expect the phone to work? All I did was unlock the phone and that's it.
Thanks!
I'd call the carrier and ask what the apn settings need to be.

Ok
I've been trying to get this to work all day.
Spent two hours on the phone with AT&T
No luck.
What I have, my microsim from AT&T iPhone 4.
I put it in a htc one s purchased from amazon.
I can make phone calls and text, but no data.
Called AT&T.
The lady spent an hour messing around with mobile
network settings, APN settings, and I still have nada
Any ideas or help is GREATLY APPRECIATED.
I've searched various forums, etc.
Nada
I've reset phone at least 3 times.
Did the person who unlocked it do a crappy job
Would it still make calls and text if it wasn't unlocked.
Thanks.
1) APN settings. are you sure you've CORRECTLY taken care of that? use wap.cingular if you have grandfathered 3g unlimited plan, or use the "phone" apn if you are on HSPA+ plans. I know you said you tried apn settings but your problem really sounds like it originated from incorrect apn
2) are you using a EU or t-mobile based rom? I tried both and data works on both. but it disconnected periodically on a EU-based rom. When I was on the stock t-mobile rom, I popped in my simcard, deleted the original t-mobile apns and added my ATT apn, and data started working
3) even though my data works, sometimes its funky. The up and down signal would go on and off. To fix it, I need restart the mobile network (switch to wcdma only then back to wcdma/gsm auto)
I'm on TMo and my phone started acting the same as far as i know today. Unlocked and rooted, went through and deleted the bloatware yesterday. Data was working night before and been on WiFi today, but when turned WiFi off then there was no data connection.

4.5. Unless your area doesn't have good 850mhz coverage.. then you're SOL with the EU version.
Luckily most of the towers in the larger cities in my area have been upgraded.

That's silly.
Btread I have the US T-Mobile One S and it works great on att. I used my sim from an iPhone as well.. When you installed your sim did it ask which carrier you are on? I am using leedroid Rom and it asked. I picked att and no issues.

So I bought my son straight talk pre paid plan for his tmobile one s. Where we live straight talk uses T-Mobile as a carrier. Right now he is visiting his mom for xmass and the area he is in has straight talk but through at&t. Can I change the apn settings to make his tmobile straight talk work on at&t straight talk? I did try to change his apn settings to at&t straight talk and the apn wouldn't stick. He's running Zen Rom. Also I never updated the hboot. It's still below v .13 (that iterations not right but I think u guys well know what I mean.) Thanks for the help!

Hard to say. I also have ST but I unlocked my phone and am using the micro at&t sim card. I'm not sure exactly how it works buy considering there's a at&t and TMO sim card. I think it works with the network the sim card is associated with. I could be 100% wrong but I may also be right.

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to give ST customer service a call. How lame though tmobile ST doesn't work on at&t ST. I asked at the store where I bought the SIM card and they said that they only sell ST through Tmobile in the twin cities... oh well maybe I can get it online or just change to another at&t prepaid.

Hopefully CS will give you some good info. They are never too helpful when i call in.. Not sure if it'll work but maybe order an at&t sim and just switch out which ever sim with the better coverage is.

Hi everyone!
I just got on to ST with a t-mobile htc one s and am using the APN given on the sheet that came with the sim card. My emails are coming in just fine but when I go to send or attempt to download a picture text, it fails. Can anyone tell me what they have used for their APN? I was also curious if maybe the locked tmobile APN's are having something to do with the fail. Anyone know how to get rid of them so I can create a separate MMS APN?
THANKS!

What Rom are you on? If stock Sense what version? Also are you using the TMO ST SIM card or are you unlocked and using AT&T?

Just noticed actually that the ST APN isn't sticking. It keeps going back to the locked TMO APN. The version of Android I'm on is 4.0.4. I just tried to use the app APN Lock, but it states that Android versions 4.0+ don't allow it to work. I'm using the TMO ST SIM card.

I'd definitely recommend you unlock your bootloader(if you haven't done so already) flash recovery and install a custom Sense Rom or maybe even give a AOSP Rom a try. I personally just installed LiquidSmooth Rc1.5(AOSP) And when I booted up the ST apn was already there and selected..
All the necessary tutorials and roms are located in the Development Section.
This all assuming you haven't unlocked/rooted your one s before

Thank you for your reply! I really appreciate it!
I haven't rooted it or done anything with it. I'm a super total noob when it comes to this stuff. Before this phone I had a blackberry forever and a day so I'm a bit lost.
XDA I really need your help.
So I am with Sprint at the moment and just bought a Straight Talk sim to try out before I commit and ditch Sprint. I can not get the sim to work and get cell signal. I know the sim works because I popped it in my girlfriends HTC one X and it picked up a signal at least.
The thing is, I don't have any place in my settings to change APNs or anything. It's like the phone is modified for CDMA somehow. I bought it from Google Play and not Sprint.
Any help is really appreciated.
Did you switch it to GSM? You may have to do it in *#*#4636#*#*.

You need to switch the phone from CDMA mode to GSM mode the only way I know of doing this is factory reset with the GSM Sim card inside the phone. If anyone can add anything else/methods please post :good:
I bought a house and moved.
No service in the house with Verizon.
So, I switched to AT&T.
AT&T told me I would get HSPA+ with my Verizon S3.
Well... I have 2G, voice, and text.
Anyone have an idea of how to get HSPA+ enabled? Is it possible?
I have a custom ROM, but I can flash anything if it would help.
I don't think it's possible, they run on completely different networks (CDMA Vs GSM) and the phones radios are built accordingly.

I'm leaning toward that. Guess I'll upgrade....
Verizon to AT&T and SIM unlock with NO codes

There is a way cant remember where i read it, maybe on the t-mobile forum. I recently bricked my att device and came across a verizon variant and was able to use it for att with out having it sim unlocked just a few hours ago steps taken were as follows:
After swapping the motherboards i factory reset the non rooted verizon device from the settings menu as I was just going to sell it on ebay. I had been using wifi only on a sim locked t-mobile device but the camera was not working so i switched back to the verizon and was prompted to complete the set up after i booted the device with no sim card inside. I got the no sim card message and ran the app Region Lock Away that has a red circle icon and a black unlocked pad lock by chainfire. I was skeptical 1 for the device not being rooted but tried anyway. The app said it was not able to verfiy root and closed; however once I inserted my att sim card without powering off the device i saw signal bars. Now Im not sure the app actually did anything and I might have tried the app before resetting it without success but after checking the network mode in the mobile networks tab it now shows Global as the preferred network. So i started texting people and then calling all with success. Now im still on the edge network and this may not solve your issue but I remember seeing the work around I think it has to do with correcting the APN settings but there is always a way to get things done. Keep looking you will find it. Im just happy to have cell service again but Ill be looking for the thread in a day or so as well.
Forced into an AT&T phone. It worked for 4 days then stopped. Their tech support claims the tap wasn't compatible and they don't know why it worked
I had 2g for those 4 days
I'm always on wifi but noticed my data wasn't working so not an ideal switch but if you are in a bind it does work. I'm still running at&t network on this Verizon motherboard just fine

I don't know what happened but all inbound calls on day 4 went direct to voicemail. I reset phone, flashed different ROM.... Nothing
