How do I unlock the PTA apn? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Does anyone know how to unlock the PTA apn ?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Idk about "unlocking" but if you want to use the pta apn then:
1) Select Wireless and network in settings
2) Select Mobile networks
3) Select Access Point Names
4) Press the menu button and select New APN
5) Name: ATT pta
APN: pta
MMSC: ht tp://mmsc.mobile.att.net (no space but xda thinks i'm posting a link)
MMS proxy: "proxy.mobile.att.net"
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN type: Internet + mms
Leave everything else blank.
6) Menu button then save apn. Then select the apn by pressing the empty circle and it'll work.
Enjoy the fast speeds!

PTA is non-functional in some markets for unknown reasons. You need to use AT&T phone or WAP.cingular until it is fixed. They are all equivalent in non LTE markets.

Really? I'm not in a lte market and it works great. That sucks for the areas that pta apn doesn't work.

Magetron v1 APN MNC Settings Glitch

I have been reading this & various forums and having rooted My LG Optimus One weeks ago just installed the Megatron v1 rom yesterday. Amazing rom with a definite 100% speed improvement over the default Telus LG ROM.
I went in the setup my APN setting to get Internet (Over 3G) & MMS messaging working and ran into a snag. The default MNC setting is "37" but Fido (My Provider) seem to require "370" instead. Any attempt at entering the 3rd digit and selecting "Save" results in being sent back to the APN list with the APN I was working on erased & no longer there.
I cannot get 3G internet or MMS messaging working at all with this bin but they were working fine with the default. I am in Quebec, Canada if that will help.
Please find below the setting I was attempting to use which worked on the default bin.
Any help or insight would be appreciated as I love this rom & would like to keep it if at all possible.

Try HiAPN by droid in the market to manually set you APNs instead of the built-in app.

Loaded Prime V2 instead and tried HiAPN & APN Manager. Works like a charm. Thanks for the heads up.

What app for WIFI Teathering?

What app would you recommend to wifi teather. My wife only has the ATT 15$ 200mb plan and I would like her to be able to pull from my data when we are away or on the road.
Thanks
Your Inspire should have a built-in wifi hotspot. You can add an APN that will allow the hotspot to work without AT$T's hotspot plan. To add the APN, see this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042553
Thanks. I will give it a try. I knew there was the wifi already on there, but was worried about ATT trying to add teather plan.
I looked through the thread and saw no "off at&t teathering" apn

It doesn't specifically mention it anywhere in the OP, and I can't remember if it's mentioned within that thread, but if you create an APN as per the instructions and select it, then you'll get the wifi app to work.

PTA APN working - FINALLY!!!

All of a sudden, the pta APN network is flawlessly working for me, wife and friend's Skyrockets. I'm in NYC, is it working for you guys?
"Working", meaning that it'll browse regular, full, non-mobile sites with no problems...
Is working for me with no problems since yesterday. Finally

Good find. Just pulled up Justin.tv and loaded just like it should. Interesting...
I"m still stuck with mobile only on most sites. Cnn loads full page, but engadget and most others forces mobile.
However justin.tv loads full and normal.
As is mine. After the customer service/in store crap I had to deal with yesterday for 4 hours regarding this "data lag" problem (as they so called it), this better last a good long time.
Same here juat tested it justin.tv worked and loaded no lag as did cnn.com thankfully i just got the skyrocket yesterday but the browser not.loading alot of pages was irritating and made the phone useless to me without wifi. Glad its working now westminster md
Same here. Boston lte

If you push menu settings wireless and networks mobile networks its access point names. And theres been an issue with the stock att apn not loading certin webpages but it seems to be corrected for the time being ( hopefully permanently) so if your not having this issue theres no reason to worry or change any settings
Washington DC LTE now working. Thank Goodness, I was about to jump ship.

Figures, that's my luck.
I was bothered by the APN issues and ended up returning my SR and going back to the GS2 cause I figured it would take AT&T forever to fix the problem.
Now they go ahead and fix it that fast.
Major bummer.
Had to modify APN settings in Minneapolis/St. Paul
I'm a NOOB to Android, but not smartphones. I wanted to post this reply, because I found most of the information on XDA, but not all in one place. Hopefully this saves others much of the time that I've spent on it.
Issue: My brand new Skyrocket would not connect to AT&T data network from my home when it was sitting right next to my wife's Galaxy S2 that was connected to AT&T data network. NOTE: Minneapolis/St. Paul is non-LTE.
Troubleshooting:
1. Swapped sims -- Galaxy S2 still works; Skyrocket still doesn't work.
2. Factory reset Skyrocket (several times) -- Skyrocket still doesn't work.
3. Got online with AT&T support. Checked some settnigs. Factory reset. -- Skyrocket still doesn't work.
4. Per AT&T support, went back to AT&T store to exchange phone. At the store, AT&T person looked at my phone and turned off the WiFi that had automatically (and correctly) connected to their AT&T hotspot. Voila Skyrocket connected to 4G. Good news, but somewhat distrubing. So, I decided to keep it and work with it some more.
5. Back at home, 4G still working....until I turned on WiFi (which automatically turns off AT&T data network). BAM!! AT&T data network would not come on again, when I turned off WiFi.
6. Next morning a Google search brought me to posts on XDA where others were having issues with the AT&T data network and and MMS.
Root cause:
-APNs configured in my Galaxy S2 were **different** than the APN configured in my Skyrocket -- very much like the posts on XDA.
-AT&T said the PTA network is brand new and they're still working out the kinks." from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342159
-Also pulled some data from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1337171.html
Solution:
Short version -- added 3 APNs and selected one of them.
Long version -- New APN Configuration that is working on my Skyrocket

Can anyone put the PTA working apn its not working for me.
Running BeastMOD. try to set default but got 3g speed with it.
@saildiverdog
I had those apns listed here before from my own trial and errors in the OP of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342159 . But since then took them down after the PTA network started working for a lot of us. And the wap.Cingular/PTA or wap.cingular/phone combo stopped working. The strange part was that the phone combo worked for me and my wife's worked with the PTA combo. Since the original post of this thread, they stopped working and the PTA was up and running.
For the rest/future readers, what's your location where the default apn is not working for you?
Woke up today with no data. Rebuilding the APN fixed the issue. I live near nyc so my guess is lte rollout confused some devices

Bypass Throttling EVEN on a STOCK ROM!!!

Did a little digging around on the internet and here is what I found for all AT&T Galaxy SII Plus Skyrocket devices! EVEN STOCK ROMs!!! Yay!
This will enable HSPA+ Speeds NOT LTE!

That's all there is to it. Like I said, this will work with ANY ROM, just as well as stock ROM.
Take this and give AT&T the middle finger for limiting our unlimited plan!

I remember using this one on my SGSII and Nexus, and I just checked it out again on my SR...works like a charm.
What if someone is already in an area that only supports HSPA+ ? Is there any work-around?

Hm. That's strange. Are you clicking the green bubble on the APN?

Doesn't seem to work for me either (in an LTE area). Phone seems to work fine but no data with those settings.
If my find isn't working for you then try this one found by fellow member opencipher

APN: Phone
APN Type: Internet
All other settings are default. I also am NOT on 2.3.6 and noticed when I updated the APN didn't work anymore, so I went back.
I also have the WAP Cingular built and have working MMS.

Neither APNs work for me in LA (an LTE market).
Supposedly the problem is in the radio. AT&T's is locked and won't let you switch.

Even changing radios none of the methods work.

Steps say :
13) Press Reset to default, wait, be patient and let the time and date update.
This resets the newly added APN and all I am left with is the stock pta APN.
BTW this is on Skyrocket.
What I am missing?

Non-AT&T LG G4

So I switched recently from T-Mobile to AT&T and kept my T-Mobile LG G4 using it as an unlocked device. Well during the switch the sales rep added what I'm sure he assumes are the correct APN Settings. After he set up the APN, I get a 4g singal but my phone is not receiving data rendering all my data reliant apps useless, which is a major inconvience. Any have any ideas on how to fix this get an lte or data connection running on the phone.
Thanks in Advanced!
