Hi guys, just got the new Infuse. I can't get data/3G. Voice works. I went into the APN settings, and there are two apns. One is called ATT Phone and one ATT WAP. I cannot choose between the two, I cannot delete them, I cannot edit them, I cannot add a new APN. Looking at the ATT WAP apn is missing the username and password, and I guess that's why it doesn't work.
I've never encountered an android device where I couldn't modify the apns, so I don't know what to do. Any ideas? Thanks!
What provider are you using?
Look in the market for apn. I forget the name of it, but there are several apn managers in the market that will let you backup and edit your apn some Android phones require two to work it seems. And if memory serves one of them is mostly blank.

I'm using ATT. I played around it some more, and finally it let me save a new APN and I'm able to select it, so now everything works fine...
That was the normal setting for the phone as you described.
It should not have been a need for you to edit anything. My phone had the same settings and worked fine.
I have the same problem. Can you give me an instruction of how to fix it?
I just went to setting>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names
Then i added the new APN that my service provider her in the Dominican Republic gave me.
Have not reset the phone or tried anything yet.
Is this the correct process? WHere have you guys been trying to change it that it will not let you?
Here are the exact setting that work for me..

Rocky is correct. I was having a similer issue and I have to add a new wntry by going to the Apn and adding a 3rd one like this. The name did not matter as I called mine test and used the same setting that Rocky posted (I got them from youtube shwing how to add it).
Now I have 3 APN and it works correctly.
THANK YOU!!! I am on infused 2.2.3 and everything was working peachy until a few days ago when I could no longer connect to data. I could get phone calls, but no data. I tried flashing a new modem, tried a new kernel, and was fixin to restore to stock because I didn't know what else to do until I say Rocky's post with the APN settings. This worked like a charm. Thanks again!!!
I was going to post this the other day but wanted to make sure it worked first. I stumbled onto this post in the SGS2 forums which gives the simplest solution that have given me the best result. The other suggested APN settings I've seen in various threads never worked for me. I wouldn't expect as monumental a jump in bandwidth as he shows, but it seems to be doing well otherwise.

Tgrifftto, did you try and successfully use those apn's on an infuse? I tried them and didn't get a connection, I'm running CM7.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App
I used them with the Infused v2.2.3 ROM and they worked well. I flashed to GSInfuse 1.1.5 today however to try on there because the last time I flashed this ROM it was bouncing sporadically between 3G and HSPA+ and was hoping it would alleviate that issue. So far no luck.
The settings suggested before is one of the default APNs (can also be set by hitting "menu/reset to default" on the APN settings screen), so may be what you wanna go with if it works for you. Another option I found that has worked for several people is along with the default settings specified previously including the following settings as well:
User name: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
It seems to definitely be a "results may vary" kindof thing.

I actually tried that myself and had MMS issues, but I think I have a working hybrid of the two. I have been getting decent speeds and MMS works but I have been getting erratic results and need to test more.
Edit: Ok so dont judge me on this if it doesn't do anything for you but the data seems convincing to me for the moment. I tweaked a few things that have been posted previously and one thing in particular seems to have changed things for me. I removed the http:// from the MMSC server address and dropped the specified MMSC Proxy. I honestly don't know why it would have altered the routing so drastically and I do not have a traceroute to show if it maps differently this way but the attached shows the results I'm getting and for some reason adding the http:// and the specified MMS proxy (66.209.11.32) always slows me down noticeably. I cant measure my signal loss (other than on the phone) to see if anything else happens to be interfering when I have the http:// and the proxy address in place (cloud bounce reflectivity, solar flares, increase usage on the high tension lines between me and the tower) but these results are what I get every time I swap settings. The bottom 3 results on the attached are with http:// and proxy included and the top 4 are without it. Phone was sitting on my desk in the same place for all tests with the only changes (I could control anyway) being the APN setting. You'll see my ping times are almost identical so my routing couldn't have changed very drastically, but the numbers mean something is different.
Here are the settings I am using

As always this may or may not help you depending on the network architecture where you live and your local data traffic avg, but this is what it did for me.....

im running ics miui and under APN Type it just opens a field to type into like a text. when i reset settings to default it sets this to *...just a star. i see everyone has this internet + mms but i dont get any options. this is causing my calls to be dropped drastically and my data to cut in and out.

I havent tried it but i posted a possible solution in the miui thread...my apn settings disappeared after i flashed pikachus thunderbolt but reappeared after a restart....i dont think that your problem is that easy tho?
Also when you finally figure it out, i read in the Thunderbolt thread that changing APN from "wap.cingular" to "phone" will increase data speeds....according to linuxbozo
Hope this helped

yea the "phone" thing does give me faster speeds. i still get cut out a lot though i love how tech support doesnt know sh*t lol. its been happening to me on all roms.
Guys, one thing to note is that CM7 (and in turn MIUI), don't like multiple APNs. AT&T runs their ROMs with two different APNs, keeping the data APN separate. This is fine on any ROM based on AT&T's releases, however, if you try to use two on CM7, you'll likely run into issues. The best thing to do is disable the "phone" APN and only use the "wap.cingular" APN. If you have both on your phone, you can do this by adding "default" to the list of APN types for the "wap.cingular" APN (or you should be able to entirely delete, just make sure to add default to "wap.cingular").
If you do run an AT&T based ROM, I highly suggest you do use both with "wap.cingular" for mms and supl APN types, and "phone" for default. This is the absolute only "trick" you can do to make the phone's data a little faster (since build.prop changes don't do anything).
Here are the details for both:
"wap.cingular" APN:
Name: ATT MMS
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Password: Not set

APN type: mms,supl (and default if you are only using this APN)
APN protocol: IPv4

I notice a definite increase in response time with the "phone" APN. Pages seem to load a lot faster, regardless of what actual speed increases it gives you, so I recommend using that if you aren't on CM7 or MIUI. If you are, well, stick to single APN or else you'll see data issues, especially in Market.

It's not "internet + mms", you specifically type in "internet,mms". It is just a text field. You have to type in what you want. Actually, "internet + mms" may be a valid setting in that field, but I've always seen it comma separated, so that's what I'd stick to. I'm not sure what valid APN types there are, the ones I know of are mms, supl, internet, and default. default obviously being the catch all for anything not configured in another APN.

ooohh thanks very much buddy. my issue was when i typed that with the plus sign i would loose data completely. actually everything except default and * cause me to loose my data. i am running miui and i did notice that the 2 apns make the phone go ape****. i kinda setup my own through a lot of research and googling and i came up with this which is making it go flawlessly except for the speed its not as fast as it can be. my setup is:

See, I thought I remembered one of them needing the username and password, however, I don't have one in my phone and it seems to work just fine. *shrug* Whatever works I suppose! But yeah, on MIUI just stick to single APN. I would assume not setting the APN Type would cause it to automatically default to everything using that APN (if it's the only one).
im one of the infuse owners and i noticed something with the signal issue ive been having for a very long time. data fix didnt work for me nothing seemed to work for me. the best results i get is with KI3 modem. also when i try to set "network type selection" to 3G only sometimes it automatically resets to 3G preffered which is what gives me the issues. but the thing i noticed is i have these severe issues of service cutting in and out when i am on umts. when i force my phone on hsdpa my download speeds almost triple my calls r beautifully clear no cutting in and out. any thought on this? is there a way i can have my phone on hsdpa only? and default the setting to 3G only in network settings? thanks in advance for any input i would really like to solve this
I have searched on xda, and on google for this problem. I also tried enabling the options for 2g/3g, rooting the phone, and doing all of that successfully. I have restored the device, and checked for system updates, and my Atrix 2 is up to date. I can also send/receive sms, and I can call people as well. I have a 2GB data plan for AT&T which worked on my previous phone, HTC Inspire 4G. But once I switched to the Atrix 2, no matter what I have tried, I cannot access the internet using my data. If I open the brower, it says:
"No network connection
Brower cannot load this page because there is no internet connection."
I have my data enabled in Settings>Battery & data manager>Data delivery>Data enabled
I have no idea what the problem is... Can someone help?

I had to do exactly the same thing! Inserted my SIM from my Nexus One and I had phone but no data. Not sure why the existing APNs did not work, but this solved my problem as well.
Hi, last night I installed that odin ICS leak, and my phone does not get data connection. I have a good amount of bars, and it says network type HSPA, but I dont get the 4g / lte icons. There is no IP address, and no data coming in at all.
I checked the APN settings, and its empty.
What APN should I add to make my data work?
Same, we may just need to try a reflash though..

You might just try going into the APN's screen, and hitting menu - reset to default.
Not sure about the ICS settings because I've been on call since the leak, but in theory it should work
After switching to SKYICS, my data has sucked. At first I was barely getting 90kbps on the speedtest, after a wipe and a reflash of everything, barely 1mbps. Any suggestions? I've wiped, cleared caches and reflashed the update, reflashed the modem, and no luck.

I'm on ICS. I switched ROMS to CM9 to see if SKYICS was the problem, and same thing. The APN settings are correct. I pulled the sim, and dialed, and it said the mobile network wasn't able. Put the sim back in and dialed, and it says MMI is invalid. :/
*EDIT*
I did try the Alternate APN and its doing the same thing. What I've noticed though is it keeps switching the little network icon from an H, to 3g, to H, to nothing.
Same
OK, I was having those EXACT problems on my GB build. I did a complete tear down to stock (yech) and suddenly I could see AT&T LTE again, and it wasn't switching from H+ to nothing and Edge..
So, I got sick of stock in about three minutes and decided to try ICS for a first time. Got the UCLD2 stuff and followed instructions (I know... booooring... LOL) and it actually worked. I am now on ICS with Smooth Ice and my transfer rates in Dallas are around 30-35mb (ok by me)...
QUESTION: Where can I find the CM9 rom for this setup? I was out of the loop for about two months and everything I knew is now wrong.. LOL
Thanks!
The alpha build is over in the dev forums. I'd go with SKYICS though.

Is this on HSPA+ or LTE? Maybe you got throttled.
I didn't get throttled. My Billing cycle had just started. It fixed itself when I went back to GB for a day. I read somewhere else to do the oneclick before flashing roms. So I did that, went back to skyics, and it worked again.

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...

Now this one connects to the network but it defaults back to the stock apn after a few minutes. Not sure if its just my phone or not so that's why I posted it anyway. Because someone had asked for it..

Now this APN works just like the stock but may speed up your data, if your begin throttled from using to much DATA!

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.

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?

At home I get 21 Mbps max. At the mall... 50+ Mbps. I bet my mall has cell boosters.

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.
