Stock ROM vs Custom APN

When I got the Inspire, they hadn't put in the IMEI and I got the "H+" with a check mark. They fixed that and the check was replaced by the up/down arrows. I noticed that the APN had virtually no settings:
APN - Phone
MMS Protocol - wap 2.0
MCC - 310
MNC - 410
everything else is "not set"
When I rooted and installed AFR001 and later AFR002, the APN was hard-coded to:
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
Username:[email protected]
Password:CINGULAR1
Server: not set
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.32
MMS Port: 8080
MCC:310
MNC:410
APN Type: *
I no longer get an "H+", but simply an "H". I have read conflicting reports that the "4G" connection won't work with the APN settings I have as they're 3G only. So the question is, how do we get the "4G" APN on the phone? If I make a new APN and set the settings manually to what appeared in the stock ROM, I get no data connection whatsoever.

Don't quote me here, but I'm pretty sure the afr001 and afr002 ROMs don't have an H+ icon since they are the European Desire HD ROMs. So you may be getting 4G HSPA+, but it doesn't have an icon for it.

I believe the best thing to do now is to just wait for the stock ROM to be rooted. It looks like the Desire HD ROMs are not 4G compatible.

Not compatible, really!? I have no other issues on AFR002 than that. I thought it would be simple

AFR002 is based on the Telus ROM, not the European ROM, however it may not have the H+ icon either, but I'm sure that it can support HDSPA/HUSPA just fine.

I was hoping to find out final clarification on the APN question as well. If I use the 3G APN, will I need a new APN to get 4G speeds. If so, what are the settings for the 4G APN?
Sent from my Inspire using XDA App

I get the same speed results with both of them, wap. cingular and phone settings. The only difference is when I switched to phone I got a message saying "conection failed" but I was able to use data. I'm using AFR001

Ok, thanks for the info. I'm guessing the APN issue is pure speculation @ this point anyway until AT&T's backhaul is complete.

It's unclear. After my imei was updated, I checked the APNs and there are two with lock icons. Maybe if we could check with someone that has real H+ service who could check download speeds with and without the 3G APN.

+1 I've been playing with APNs all day trying to figure it out. Network info shows HSDPA.

to clean up the APN issue: The APNs with the lock are from ATT with only one or two settings off to control tethering. When you use the custom APN settings you get tethering even on the stock ROM without a special tethering plan.
When I talked to AT&T they told me there is no special Sim card or APN setting for 4G. 4G is a hardware issue, but AT&T has only released 4G speeds in SOME areas, LA and Orange County do not have it yet. The whole network will be up and running by year end. The H+ is just an icon that AT&T put in the ROM, they don't even have the H icon, if you are on 3g or 4g it will still say H+ because this is there way of marking something they don't have yet. Mush like the EVO when it first was released Verizon didn't even have 4g running anywhere but they had commercials all over the place for a product they could not deliver.

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.

once you go LTE is very hard to go back

I upgraded to CM9 stable version yesterday, and I don't have LTE
I went to *#*#4636#*#* and selected LTE/GSM auto (PRL), and I added the Rogers LTE APN settings.
i also have baseband I727RUXLF3
help please.

Do you have an LTE SIM card from Rogers? If you don't have an LTE SIM card, you won't register to LTE network, even if you add the APN in the list.

Yes, i do have an LTE sim card. Anyways, I deleted the LTE APN settings and created a new one, and just entered ltemobile.apn under the APN field. I left the MMSC address and APN type blank, and i was connected to LTE (4G).

Network doesn't work.

Hello I have clean rom 5.1 and I don'tget network that I bought.I don't get 2g or edge.On stock it showed E but the network didn't work now on clean rom all I get is signal bars.BTW I'm unlocked on a polish network and it works on my other phone.Any fix for this?Thx

How am I supposed to do that? I downloaded apn manager and picked my service. But the E didn't come up.There isn't any apn in the original (mobile settings).But on my htc desire there are 2apn networks and if I pick one then the internet is great.Would a different rom work? What's your suggestion?thx

Nobody knows a rom that works with Tmobile network and other gsm apns??? Thx.

Depends on the ROM. The devs will include the APNs for whatever provider they want, or by request. If your carrier is not included, you can easily enter one manually (create a new APN and simply input the various parameters). Google for your providers APN settings, or call your provider and they should give them to you. Not sure why the APN manager you tried didn't work, I've never tried an app like that. Possible the app just has the wrong settings.

Thank you for the reply. I just don't understand why my desire automatically has apn and it doesn't work.But on cleanrom my apns don't work.Do you guys know any working gsm network Rom? Would be happy if 3g would work but still I'm gonna be happy with edge.

Is your Desire running the stock ROM from your carrier? If so, they pre-configure the APN info on the phones they sell.
APN settings are different for every carrier. For custom ROMs, the dev can't include every APN for every carrier in the world. They will typically include the ones they think are popular, or by request.
ny ROM should work, as long as you have a model that is compatible with your carrier's frequencies, its not SIM locked, and you enter the right APN info.
Also, what version of the One X do you have? Can you make voice calls?

I can't tell from the info you've provided. I ask again what version of the phone do you have?
If your version has the right 3G band compatibility with your local carrier, and you have the right APN, it should work. According to the following, Poland uses 2100 MHz for 3G. It doesn't list anything for 4G. You sure your carrier offers 4G? http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html

I have a unlocked att one x if thats what you mean by version.I'm not sure if I have 4g but 3g for sure just didn't buy it yet cause I'm afraid it won't work.Btw its polish tmobile.

Yes, if its AT&T version of the One X, it has the 2100 MHz 3G band. So it should work fine on your carrier's 3G network as long as they use 2100 MHz (the website I linked above stated 2100 MHz is used in Poland). Most of Europe is 2100 MHz, so its probably correct. I don't think 4G (such as LTE) is widely deployed in Europe yet. So you probably won't get LTE regardless.

APN setting is the problem

AT&T One XL CM10 no LTE?

I have not been able to get LTE working with a CM based rom. I have the correct APN and *#*#info*#*# settings and I can't figure out why it won't work. Any help?

Yeah, I know. When I choose the AT&T LTE APN it just doesn't find LTE, then auto switches back to the ATT wap.cingular APN.
edit: called AT&T and they put me on a non-4G plan for whatever reason. it's fixed.
