[Q] Completely stock unrooted and stil locked to at&t..work with starighttalk data?
Hello
and sorry it was asked before ...
I will be buying it from an att store locally ... and I already have an att compatible ST SIM new .... If I open the SR new from box and locked , can I use the ST SIM and change the default apn setting to the ST values ? cause somebody said he couldn't change the default SR apn setting to work with ST data...
Thanks
It won't work stock and unrooted. Flash a custom 2.3.6 from with ucla3 kernel and radio. I highly recommend super lite 3.1, it will flash everything u need, one shot

is the same situation applied if it was the original galaxy s2 (not LTE) ?
and is it the same thing if unlocked ?
cause I need everything stock , unrooted
It works just fine. Stock and Unrooted. The ST sim uses the ATT service and towers. Create an APN and set the value at att.mvno. Call it what you want. The phone doesnt even need to be unlocked. ST sims are basically ATT sims. They also do not come sim locked, which is good.

Thanks a million...That's also what I know !!
but this contradiciotn kills me ... Have you done it yourself ?
a dude on howard forums had a hard time changing the apn in his skyrocket(bought from att new locked) , he said he couldn't change it and end up with calls+sms+edge data (I guess because his apn rejected and the device returns to the stock apn always)...
and can you delete the oem apn in the skyrocket ? is it stored in the phone or in SIM ?
Can you please contribute to this ?

It depends on what ST Sim you are using. If you check ST sim website, you are asked whether you have att or tmobile handset.

ofcourse I am talking about att compatible SIM...that's a no brainer
You can order an att compatible Sim directly from them. And I know it works because i'm posting this post from an I727 on straighttalk. Just set the apn at att.mvno . Skyrocket with unlimited talk, text, and data for $45 a month. Beat that? No way
Thanks alot Ends.........I already have the SIM from ST (att SIM)
Did you buy your Skyrocket locked ? or unlocked ?
Is it rooted , or stock ?
Did you have any problems setting the ST apn ? and can you delete the old default apn from this skyrocket ?
My phone was bare bone stock when I got it. It isn't now but my straight talk Sim has worked from day one. You won't be able to delete the factory set apn but you can always add and delete others. Just add a new apn and your set. "att.mvno"

Then this thread is a no brainer itself. That's the reason why it's called att compatible sim.

Sorry. Havnt followed the tread. But yes, MMS will work as soon as the APN is set. You MUST have data working before MMS will work. You'll be good to go.
Actually if the art phone has locked att pan then u can not receive or send mms. Iam trying to find out how to delete locked att pan.

Ive never seen a phone where you couldn't add or change the apn. Not saying they dont exist. I just dont know about it. All andriod OS's, iOS, and symbian(nokia) OS's all allow apn altercation. Blackberry I'm sure does as well, but I can't say with absolute certainty so I wont testify either way.
To answer the OP correctly, yes it will work on stock unrooted locked S2 (as long as you have the ST SIM for ATT phones). You need to install ST APN for data but that's easy. It's done either manually or if they have an app, the app will do it automatically for you. I've got a Red Pocket Mobile sim in the phone right now, works great. Also have one in the kids Ipuck 3gs (no jailbreak) and it works great. Any sim as long as it's made for ATT phones will work on locked ATT phones. The only thing that's different is your data speed will not be LTE if you use LTE phone. Data speeds are almost always slower for the MVNO's.

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.
Ok all I'm a newbie here so don't hate on me please.
My problem is that I cannot receive MMS and have no data other than WIFI??
I just rooted a Galaxy S3 (Verizon) SCH-I535, 4.1.2, Build#JZ054K.I535VRBMA2.
I set up the phone GSM/UMTS and am using an AT&T sim card from my old phone (HTC Inspire), the sim card that was in my inspire was on of the large kind that did not fit the Galaxy so the guy at Best Buy had a little stapler looking thing that actually cut it to the right size?? I don't know if that has anything to do with my problem or not? I don't think so since I CAN use the phone for calls and text messages, but you guys are the pro's. UPDATE: I did go to AT&T and get the proper sim card.
I used ODIN 307 and a file named-root66_VZW_I535VRBMA2_nowipe.tar.md5, to root the phone. I installed APN Manager Pro and Titanium Backup, both paid apps. I made APN Manager a system app in Titanium Backup just like I have read in other forums.
I have tried to use my old HTC settings for the APN and various others I have found online, including NET10 but nothing seems to work! I still can't receive MMS or network data??
If anyone can help me to figure this out I would greatly appreciate your help!
Thanks in advance!!
That's not gonna work...

You're attempting to use an AT&T sim card in a Verizon device. Setting the device to use GSM/UMTS instead of CDMA/LTE while using an AT&T sim card that has been modified to fit a Verizon slot still wont work... it's still a Verizon device. AT&T and Verizon may both use the same frequency bands of 850 MHz and 1900 MHz for 3G, and 700 MHz for LTE, but their commonality ends there. To my knowledge you can't get what you're trying to do here to work. Even if you could get it to work, it would likely not be an easy task.
If you want your Verizon SCH-I535 to work, you'll need to use a Verizon sim card with an active Verizon Wireless plan.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news man... but its not gonna work.

Actually I did get it to work....somewhat. I downloaded the app HiAPN Global for the play store, made it a system app and viola! I now have data and MMS, HOWEVER it is not good by any means. All of my MMS come across as group messages and the data is EDGE at best.
I am wondering if I need to flash a new ROM and recovery....bootloader?? I'm kinda lost with all the information out there but cant seem to find my exact situation.

You will only get EDGE. i used to use at&t Sim in Verizon S3.
The way I got data to worm was flash CM10 stable FROM AT&T Version (i747) to the Verizon version (i535)
That doesn't mean ALL roms will work like that. You don't have to believe me that it worked as some people will say "You can't flash a att ROM on a Verizon phone".
Some Roms have MULTICARIER support. Try one of those. But again, you will not get any speeds faster than EDGE. Verizon has those bands locked for US carriers, but there unlocked for over seas. (Weird huh)
Edit: IM NOT TELLING YOU TO GO FLASH A AT&T SLECIFIC ROM. ALL IM SAYING IS I USED A AT&T VERSION OF CYANOGENMOD TO GET MY DATA WORKING.
Hey guys I want to take my Verizon branded m8 over to straight talk with ATT SIM. So far I've rooted , s off'd and did supercid. Is it as easy as installing ATT RUU and installing straight talk SIM card?
I've seen in the threads that other people have done this but will 4g or LTE still work?
Thanks for any help
HSPA+ is what I get
Did you flash a AT&T Rom or just threw in the AT&T SIM card? And thanks for responding
I just threw in a At&t Sim card. My bootloader is locked so I can't flash Roms.

I plan on doing this today as well.... Did you port from Verizon to ST? If so how did that go? Also... What's supercid?
I did port my number. It took a few minutes and everything was switched over. I had to manually program my apn for data to work. I am not getting 4g or lte though only hspa and its much slower in my area at least. Supercid is basically writing over your cid to allow other phones firmware and Rom. AT&T phones work perfect with straight talk and have working lte so I was going to trick my phone into thinking it was an AT&T model

Apn settings for straight talk are on their website. You probably need an actiabted SIM also

Just so you guys know, MMS doesn't work for me on stock ROM with the stock SMS app or hangouts. But it works for when I use Textra or chompsms. Shouldn't be a problem if you have a custom ROM.
We won't get LTE unless you're with T-Mobile because this phone doesn't have the correct bands for att LTE

Hey Folks,
I have a Nexus 5, which I bought from the Play store and have been using on Sprint for the past year. I'm switching carriers to AT&T and would like to know if my device will work on their network. I went to an AT&T store and tried swapping out my SIM for one of theres but the "AT&T" logo didn't show up on my phone and I wasn't able to use voice/text/data. Then, when I tried swapping my sprint SIM back in I had a ton of trouble, in the end, the sprint store had to factory reset my phone to get it to work again. I guess my question is, are there any specific settings that need to be changed or a specific manner in which i switch the SIM cards to get it to work on AT&T? A Sprint rep told me it work on AT&T but that can't be right, the phone is unlocked after all. Any and all input is welcomed!
A lot of people here use ATT me included. You'll have to change your APN to ATT. You also will have to give them your phones IMEI. After that you'll be all set.

I used to switch sims between ting(sprint MVNO) and ATT since I work in areas sometimes that does not have att service, and I never had a problem going between the two. Did you try to reset the radio on the phone?

Hey guys,
I looked for APN settings on my phone and googled it but I couldn't find those options. I tried updating the profile before, updating the PRL, restarting it multiple times and turning the radio on and off. Also tried switching the network type between Global and LTE options multiple times, which only worked < 1% of the time. Finally, I went to the sprint store where they did a factory reset and now it only works on 3G (no LTE). This is a family plan where we're switching to ATT permanently. My sister is sending me some sort of "customized" SIM card for my phone (they took all of my phones info) that should work on ATT. When I go into ATT again to test out my phone, are there any specific settings I need to change or a certain manner in which I switch the SIM cards to test my phone if it works? I wanna test it with a random ATT sim first and not my "customized" SIM card because our ATT line isn't activated as yet, only sprint is.
Is anyone using the T-Mobile Note 5 on AT&T? I am having data problems where I do not get data, but can send and receive texts, and also make calls. I switch to the Cingular APN and it works, but then goes out.
I have tried the Nxtgen phone apn and also phone apn, and no luck.
I know im not answering your question, but are you able to use the VOLTE feature on your tmobile phone on the at&t network? or even HD calling?
Actually At&t messed up my provisioning. You asked about those features, I would recommend you download Darthstalkers Rom Version 4, choose n9200A, it will install the at&t carrier files.
Just make sure to add the ATT Phone APN, do not use the nextgen phone apn.
Why do you suggest not using NextGen APN. I use it on all my phones and it's perfect your funny
I have been thinking of paying off my unrooted phone and switching to cricket. When I put my IME number to check compatibility it said it wasn't. So, I'm a bit confused. Is this phone compatible with ATT LTE or not. I thought that ATT and Cricket were the same?
