I have had straight talk for 2 months now on my att branded atrix 2, locked and unrooted, and have not been able to get data. I have been searching for the answer just about everywhere. I have tried different values on apn settings, I have also tried leaving the proxy value blank as someone had suggested on here but with no luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks,
Mo
Go to you voice commands and say open APN. Then input the data settings from the straight talk website. Im using my atrix 2 in it now.

And dont tell me to use the search box. If you know a better way to search be my guest and let me know. Maybe I dont know the terms used that will yield good search results.
It seems to me that every one abandoned the TP2 before ST = (StraightTalk) started the Bring Your Own Phone Program so this may have never been discussed yet.
So I got the voice, SMS and data working. But my phone is still trying to connect to sprints server to download the pictures people sent me via MMS. Where do I input the MMS settings ST gave me? The only setting I could find was for APN and when I updated that the data started working. The rest of the fields are not there with the APN.
I am using the AT&T sim from Strait Talk. I have the Sprint TP2 with my Straight Talk sim card in it. Set to GSM only. The worst part is EDGE speed is slower then Sprints 1X.
A nice guy help me fix this here at this link in post 2 and 3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28468462#post28468462
I was wondering if any of you with straighttalk reading this with an ATT Samsung infuse with the att compatible sim(provided by straight talk) could quickly hit *#*#4636#*#* then under phone settings scroll down and look for the smsc line and hit refresh and write down and post it for me. I haven't been able to text for like a week already :/
I have been using straighttalk for the past couple of months and suddenly I don't have SMS anymore I can't send or receive. My phone does say message sent but no one is receiving it. I've tried deleting my messages, factory reset changing the smsc to the AT&T settings different messaging apps and I cant get it. Customer service says the problem is my end but I'm not sure how it is from night to morning without any changes.

Thank you for reading and replies in advance
Have you changed your APN settings?

No I haven't I'm using the one that's provided with the ROM. Are you on straight talk? I believe only data and MMS is affected with APN settings
No, I don't use any carrier, so I'm not an expert on these things or a lot of things. But try changing your APN settings and report back.

Oh I thought you meant if i switched APN by accident. No I didn't and yes I have tried several other APN the thing that is mostly likely the cause is either a carrier block or the smsc code is changed. That's why I want someone to check their straightalk service smsc code that is using Att towers. I doubt it got blocked because its supposed unlitmed

ok buddy but that only affects the mms settings what i need is another straighttalk provider user so i can use their SMSC because mine must have got deleted or something along that line. I know Straighttalk is a MNVO so it should be close if not exactly ATT but i tried that and messages are said being sent however no one is recieving my messages and no im not recieving any messages
There is a code that corresponds to every carrier that you need to input into the smsc place, I've had the same problem. Just Google att smsc number and there should be an xda thread with it. Remember to capitalize the letter in it too.

Its not the APN settings, we had just given him the solution to the problem
Why are the apn settings changing?
And I called ST again and I guess they finally admitted to messing up the smsc code I ended up with was the AT&T smsc with lowercase f. It took them awhile
I jumped on the $250 eBay deal for this phone. Today, after installing my tmobile SIM card I can talk and text fine but the mobile data is not functioning. I've gone into the "Data Manager" menu and turned on the "mobile data"...airplane function is off....performed a factory reboot, and still nothing. What am I missing? Do I need to do an APN configuration? Being an unlocked phone, I thought it was a matter of plug and play. Data works fine in my moto g. Please help. Thanks

Yes, get your apn settings from Tmobile and enter inSettings, Networks,mobile networks, access point names. Create a new APN for t-mobile...save....choose the new apn. .... see if it works
Yes, sounds like you'd have to enter APN values, especially if voice and text are working. Not all phones auto populate APN values.
Not sure if these APN values are correct but it's a starting point: http://apn-settings.com/t-mobile-apn-settings-step-by-step-configuration/ . This is T-mobile's site for generic data settings for non T-Mobile phones: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090
You guys were spot on...contacted tmobile and they had me up and running in less than 5 min with the proper APN config. Thanks for the help fellas.
Now if I could just get the latest software update without having to purchase the gophone SIM/plan...
Does Hotspot feature work for you?

Sorry to revive such an old post, but I am thinking of doing the same thing right now ($200 for a new unlocked AT&T Flex2), and wondered if your WIFI Hotspot function on the phone works with TMobile?
I've tried other AT&T unlocked phones on TM, and when I turn on the hotspot feature, I get a network error.
Thanks.
ps. Can you post the APN settings that TM gave you?
I got my ST SIM activated yesterday and LTE connected without having to make any APN changes.
I can receive incoming text messages. Incoming calls go straight to voicemail, and I receive a notification for them but cannot retrieve.
Outgoing calls /messages result in 'no mobile network' error, including dialpad codes.
Have had six different sessions with Straight Talk, whose solution, depending upon the CSR, has been to change the APN, restart phone/pull sim/battery, factory reset, wait for activation, etc.
At one point, Verizon Wireless briefly appeared as the carrier but LTE stopped working.
Any suggestions? I have done all of the above, along with installing several different ROMS, restoring earlier backups, etc.
I have searched and found a lot of posts regarding issues with data, but can't find anything relating to my particular issue.
I am currently on CM13 Nightlies. The phone is not under contract and I have used it with other BYOP carriers with no issues.
Thanks!

I was helping someone else out with that recently. I found that both on CM12 and CM13 it doesn't give you the option to change the APN settings.

I am actually able to change the APN settings by selecting the APN, editing it, and saving it from the menu pull-down. In a few of the ROMS I tried, I needed to put in the updated APN of TRACFONE.VZWENTP. (I laugh every time I type it.. VZ went P heh)
Anyway, in some ROMS it works with the assigned APN and in others I have to put in the updated one for LTE to work. The APN is for internet and MMS, both of which are working at the moment. I need to figure out how to get calls and outbound SMS working.

What carrier are you on? Straight talk? There is an app for it in the play store

Yes, I just got the Straight Talk SIM and network code and activated it a few days ago. I looked for the apps but could only find one for account management and auto-APN settings.
I was using a prepaid T-Mobile sim in this phone prior, and had to use an older modem to get data (only got edge since it's GSM on a CDMA phone) working. I am currently installing a newer modem to see if that will help.

Yeah that's the one I saw. I installed it just in case, but it only changes the APN settings, which I have already tried. Thanks though!
Not a problem. Sorry I couldn't be of more help

Hi guys,
I've been running the stock rom (6.0.1) with RingPlus for about 4 months now, and just got word that they were discontinuing service. I canceled my service with them and have moved to Tello, which many of the users on RingPlus were saying was a painless switch. I've received my Tello phone number, and activation/provisioning instructions, which I've followed several times. I'm able to make and receive phone calls, but don't have 3g or LTE data.
From my experiences with Nexus devices and AT&T MVNO's my gut says it's an APN setting, but when I browse to the APN list the whole list is grayed out and unchecked, the add button is also grayed out.
Does anyone know how to open this up?
This issue is solved. I used a hidden menu (##3282#) to view my APN settings and they were being pulled from Tello. Later in the day my phone randomly did a prl update (several dozen had been done since posting this thread) and after that update everything worked. My best guess is that the line wasn't fully activated.
Hi Thunderbolt,
My phone is rooted and after putting in the MSL and dig down I have the same issue as APN Type and many other options are greyed out. I'm with Sprint. Looks like you haven't done anything and it automatically became available. What's Tello? Do I need to install any otger app to get the access? Thanks.
I'm on Stock TouchWiz Marshmallow on my S5 Sport G860P and my APN settings aren't greyed out, but they don't save when I add the proper APN for my FreedomPop SIM I received yesterday.
Is there a way to unlock this phone for free? I bought it on Ebay used and it has a clean ESN. I'm not the original owner so I don't have to Sprint account number and I may not be able to get it because it was purchased from a reseller.

What does it mean to use a hidden menu? And what is Tello? I am having this problem as well and would love to fix it. My issue is ultimately about not sending and receiving MMS consistently. But having the prn menu grayed out isn't helping my efforts to fix it.
Thanks!

Open dialer Punch in ##3282# this brings up the hidden menu for a lot of things.. Choose edit, and if it ask for you MSL enter it, then go to apn settings and you can add one, it should not be greyed out.
