Best APN Settings for Bell Sensation on AT&T

spent the last few hours trying to find the APN settings for the bell sensation to work on the "4G" AT&T network. Tried quite a few and merged some info from the Galaxy S2 xda forum. This is what I have come up with:

I'm getting about 4.5 down and 1.5 up. Prior to using these settings I'd be lucky to get 1 down and .5 up.
I'm on the unlimited 4g plan and living in Phoenix

Hi,
Thanks for what you wrote but are you geting the "H+" or just the "H"?

I'm having the same issue...do you know if it is just the speed?
what is average H+ speed on AT&T supposed to be?
i'm starting to wonder if the stock roms on AT&T just lie about it being faster than H, given some other threads on the atrix/inspire forums.

I just got the bell sensation today...and I'm getting only Edge speeds on my phone
I also have SGS2 and with the same apn settings i get 1.5 - 2Mbps down, but with sensation im getting only 50 - 100 kbps down. Something is wrong, do i need to flash some different baseband or anything else i need to do to get decent speeds on ATT?
EDIT: And I'm on the $15 unlimited data for Non-Smartphones.

I am running 100% stock software, radio, baseband from bell canada on at&t network and achieving pretty good speeds compared to other devices I own.
I could be wrong, as I don't work for at&t, but if you are on the non-smartphone plan I think that will be limiting you to the 2g/edge network only as your account on that line isn't provisioned for 4g data. The plan you are using is for old flip phones like the motorola razor.
When you are using the Galaxy S2 - is that also on the non-smart phone plan? What if you take the sim card from the S2 and put it in the sensation? same results?

Hi,
I was exactely in your situation because Bell settings arent configured for AT&T HSPA, all you have to do is install from the market program called "APN Tweakker" & run it for "AT&T Voice & Data" & you will get the "H" rightaway.

Yes same sim as sgs2 and same non smartphone data plan. It started working fine after sometime I posted the question here so no issues
And also the medianet $15 will not reduce speeds. I have tried the 4G att plan with tweaked APN settings on both sgs2 and sensation, they give me same speeds as the medianet plan.

Does the network indicator on the Sensation distinguish between HSPA and HSPA+, at all?
I'm on TMobile with the Sensation 4G. Of course they changed they "H+" indicator to "4G", since they call HSPA+ 4G. I have never seen the "H" indicator on my device, only "4G", "E", "G" etc.

Don't think so, it only displays H, 3g, E in my case. SGS2 displays only H+, 3g, E. Both cases speeds are same.

I am going to try this, but I wanted to point out that I don't have the 3G/4G Plan from at&t, I have the old edge plan or media net plan--

Kind of defeats the purpose of having a top of the line 4G phone to be using it on EDGE doesnt it?????

1700 band.....
don't worry, in a year or so, (after the hostile take over) there will be devices that support the whole spectrum that TMO & ATT supports
Click to expand...

i was thinking the same thing, after att takes over..probably the new devices will have a wide 3g/4g spectrum, att has alway says that they need the aws from tmbile 1700/2100

Seeing as inzaneip has a Fido (Canada) symbol, I would not be surprised if this "Sensation 4G" is actually the Bell Canada model that works full speed on AT&T.

Another thing it consider is that if you do manage to get the HTC Sensation 4G (Bell/ Canadian Version) that has the 850/1900 Mhz bands, will ATT detect that you are using a smartphone and automatically give you the 30 dollar 2GB limited data plan which you cannot get rid of?
I currently use a Samsung Vibrant on ATT and only have a 15 dollar unlimited data plan. However the Vibrant has 850/2100 Mhz bands in which the 850 mhz is the onle that i use to get data. However, I feel that data fluctuates way too much from location to location. It jumps from edge to 3g to 4g back to edge within a block. Also, there are known reception issues with the Samsung Vibrant (kind of like the death grip on the iphone 4). I am also one of those people considering a HTC Sensation 4G (bell version) or the HTC Incredible S as a substitute IF ATT does not charge me the 30 dollar limited data plan.

Shouldn't happen
I got away with the dumbphone data plan for a long while on my Nexus One until Google gave AT&T the IMEI numbers and they realized I had a smartphone... So as long as AT&T doesn't recognize the IMEI it could be a Motorola V3c with some wicked data usage for all they know!

Do you think ATT will recognize the Bell version of the Sensation because the HSDPA runs on the same bands and I think it was either Bell or Rogers that had some relation with ATT? Not sure if they gave ATT the IMEI numbers though...

The general pattern seems to be:
If your unlocked phone is a model NOT sold by AT&T in the USA, nor is it an iPhone or Nexus, then AT&T won't recognize it as a smartphone.
If it's a model also sold by AT&T, albeit from a Canadian carrier (e.g. a Bell Atrix or Rogers Infuse), there's some chance they might recognize it. The Sensation and the Incredible S are probably safe.
Also the TMo Vibrant has 1900 3G but not 850. It has poorer building penetration than 850, so it's not surprising that the 3G drops out a lot.

That sounds pretty practical. I'm looking to buy an HTC phone that has both the 3g Bands for ATT. But with that vague merging between T-Mo and AT&T, not sure if it would really matter in the near future.

The merger should not affect compatibility of phones that today already work on AT&T 3G. Be aware the Bell Sensation does *not* have the T-Mobile AWS band if you were thinking you wanted something for both networks at once.

Yea, I'm well aware of that. T-Mobile sucks around my house because I have a big tree in front. I'm only concerned about AT&T but thanks for the warning.

Bought HOX Online, can't get correct data package

I bought my HTX One X online, took it to ATT, they had to do a sim card upgrade for $25. I took it home and realized that I was only getting 1G speeds. A lady at the ATT store said it's because I bought it online so it's not compatible with their 4G LTE. She said I would have to root/unlock it. What do I need to do?

That.. what..
When you say "One X" do you mean the One XL (AT&T branded) or the international One X. If it is the international, it isn't 4G/LTE Compatible.
Check your Mobile network > Access Point Names
and make sure "ATT LTE" is listed
Also, are you running 1.85 or 2.20?

If you bought international version, you should still be able to get HSPA+, just no LTE. No way you would be on "1G" speeds.

I suppose I did. It was from Singapore and doesn't have HTC on the top, just the back. It has the signal bars with a single G above them.

What do you have for the apn?

I didn't know that any of the One Xs were blank on the front. I wish we didn't have the stupid AT&T logo.

Yup. APN settings for HSPA and HSPA+ are completely the same. Its the same network. The improvements done to upgrade to HSPA+ don't affect how your phone connects to the network, they are done in the background (fiber optic backhaul). The only thing that determines whether you get HSPA versus HSPA+ is whether the backhaul has been done in your area.

Anything is better than the 1G I'm currently getting..

When I moved from my iPhone 4 to the galaxy nexus I was unable to get HSpa+ , only HSpa. Your plan has to be provisioned for hspa+ or late to use specific apn's. The hspa+ APN is "phone" and lte is "pta".
The imei for the international hox is not going to register as a "4g" phone so they don't have the option of putting you in the right data plan.
I fixed this by searching YouTube for a video of someone showing their imei of a att 4g phone. I called att had them switch my phone imei to that and then they were able to put me on a lte plan. My gnex didn't support lte but the pta apn is faster on hspa+ also. If your still on an unlimited data plan you also have the added bonus of being throttled at 5gbs instead ofn3

The APNs didn't work for me. Are IEMIs not unique per phone? Could you provide me with the correct one?

what does it say in the boot loader? Evita or endeavor, even easier go to settings about and then hardware information what does it say under Processor? Quad core or dual core?

[Q] Nexus 5 LTE problem

I have been using n5 from last 2 days in SF downtown..but n5 does not say LTE in the top right corner..it only says H (HSDPA)..so m not sure if it is LTE or not..is anyone having this problem? I have seen LTE on GS4
I am on AT&T..They provide LTE in entire Bay area
I just downloaded speedtest app and performed test thrice with mobile data ON..here are the results:
Download/Upload (in Mbps) :
6.14/1.11 6.31/1.13 6.06/1.13

Do you have LTE on your plan? You have to call them and setup LTE on your plan, if you never had it before and just got the nexus with LTE you talk to tech support, give them the IMEI and they will enable it on your account. It basically changes the wording of your bill, the bill amount will not be changed but restart your phone and you will be good. It is what I had to do.

Ok..just cane back from ATT store and can happily say that the problem has been resolved..following are the steps needed after every new purchase: 1) visit at store 2) If you already don’t have a microsim card then get it for free 3) Reprovision the Sim card 4) register your new phone 5) if you never had LTE on your data plan, then you specifically need to tell the customer care representative to switch your data plan to LTE
LTE speeds are monstrous.. I am a happy customer now

Did they give you any hassle with the IMEI of the nexus 5? I heard there were issues since it wasn't in their system? I don't have LTE in my area but I went to an LTE area last weekend and all the iphones got it but I was stuck on H+. I don't want them to do it and mess up my current service.

No..IMEI was not an issue for me

G900p on cricket network 4g issue

I recently unlocked my G900P to use on the cricket network, so far all is well except it is only running on 3G
i have the correct APNs installed. i've contacted cricket and bought two sim cards so far from them.
What am i missing ? how can i get 4G going on this phone, on the cricket network.
Thanks!

are your sims for at&t?

the sim cards are cricket sim cards

cricket doesnt have their own network man. I use H2O wireless but it still uses at&t towers.

thanks! but it looks like its all correct, but still no 4g. only H Signal.

you will never ever be able to use a CDMA s5 on cricket and expect to get 4g lte different bands that are not compatible
