I'm using my phone on att network, I know it won't get thier 3G signals but if I can make calls and texts shouldn't I also be able to use edge data? I'm using an unlocked tmobile version, updated with the ota 2.3.4, (but it didn't work on the previous version either.

Get the correct apn settings from somewhere.
thanks
perfect! that did the trick, thanks! never thought i'd be so happy to get edge haha
Hi,
I've got a European Sensation and am in the US with a AT&T sim working fine with EDGE.
Is there any way of getting 3G working?
Is it just a case of using a different radio flash, or is the hardware not capable of getting the AT&T 3G band?
cheers

Sorry to resurrect this,
I'm headed back to the States next week and my ATT sim has expired - is there a company there that does the 3G thing on the same freqs/bands as here in europe so I can get 3G in the US too?

LOL!!!! AT&T strikes again. So what's the point of using LTE if its constantly throttled?
exactly.
vz isnt much better.. id kinda rather be throttled then get overage charges weekly (if i was on any other carrier or on a tiered plan with att)
will make another complaint to the fcc this time it will be on price fixing between the big three.

That sucks! Denver doesn't have LTE yet, but I decided to sell my Skyrocket on eBay. Didn't want to be throttled on the LTE plan when only using HSPA+.. I average at least 5 - 6GB a month.. wasn't going to stick around and find out if I reached the top 5% on the LTE plan, when only using the slower network.
I'll wait until more coverage becomes active and reaching the top 5% is a long shot!

There's not unlimited anymore because AT&T doesn't want it around, point blank. It has very little to do with the users. It's statements such as yours that justifies their actions and allows them to slide under the radar. Don't blame your peers, blame the company gouging you for profits.

Just another win for us Nokia fanboys!! Hell, the N8 has more usable features than most of the phones out now. I love the fact that I can connect a portable hard drive up to the phone and play movies onto a HDTV via HDMI or just over wifi and play it on my PS3 or xbox360, the 12mp camera with a real xenon flash and not some ****ty LED flash, Battery life is awesome, 48gb of memory, FM transmitter (because Ipod docks are for *******!!), and if I wanted to say **** AT&T and switch over to T-Mobile, then I could without having to get a new phone because it works on T-mobiles 3g network as well.

Okay this requires you to have another IMEI number so if you have a Infuse you will need either a iPhone a BlackBerry or a LTE phone's IMEI number
Call AT&T tell them you need to update your IMEI # and update the Unlimited Data plan to the Unlimited Data plan for that phone. I used a Skyrocket IMEI for NY Infuse they took a few minutes updating it and once I got off the phone I went into Airplane mode and out of Airplane mode and had full speeds again.
Everytime you are throttled call back give them the old IMEI # and have them update the Data Plan again for full speeds!
No need to change your APN!

Not true, AT&T does not charge a fee to change devices only when Upgrading and signing a two year contract or activating a new line of service.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App
I was tempted to try an imie swap as well..bit wasn't hindered by the worry of not an upgrade fee but double charges
I noticed on our bills from our upgrades in Jan that when they terminated our data for 1 plan, they charged us $20 some odd ...then $30 for the newly activated data plan. The first charge was obviously prorated, the second was not. So for any month they have done what is described above, we have been charged $50 for our $30 unlimited data.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Well the IMEI swap does create pro-rated charges but if you are charged more then 30$ after the pro-rated charges AT&T is required to credit you the amount in error. You pay 1 month in advance so when you change a that feature mid-cycle you should see 15$ here and 15$ there.
Newly activated phones get the pro-rated charge plus one month in advance.

It's a simple fix for the unlimited LTE and LTE area problem.
Flash the T-Mo radio, and that forces the phone into HSPA+, and the phone APN works again.

Just to clarify because I"m been driving myself crazy using different APNs trying to bypass the throttle; (it used to work last month, now none of the APNs work this month when trying to bypass, and I'm on LTE unlimited in an LTE area/San Francisco) once I get throttled, I just flash the T-mo radio, then I'll have HSPA+, and then when my billing cycle starts over I reflash my stock radio? Is this method definitely going to work if the APNs no longer work? Also, can someone point me in the right direction of the absolutely correct T-Mo radio to flash, as well as the correct "stock" radio to reflash when the cycle starts over? I don't want to flash the wrong one and fck up my phone... I've flashed several ROMS so in that sense I'm not new to flashing, but I've never flashed radios before.
Thanks for the help!

2 different phone calls to get it unthrottled?
EDIT: I think I understand what you mean now:
I actually make two calls right after each other... first call with my old Inspire 4G/IMEI and switch plans, then hang up, then call back right after, give them the Skyrocket IMEI and switch back to the LTE unlimited plan again, and then I'm unthrottled? Will I not get throttled again until the next billing cycle and can abuse and download as much data as I want after making the 2 phone calls and getting unthrottled? And again, I don't need to switch any APNs or anything, I can just stay on the ATT pta APN and continue using LTE? Or is this a HSPA workaround? Thanks!

( you can always call right back swap IMEI #'s and use your original one and it'll still be unthrottled. )

I can confirm that this IMEI method works, for me at least!
Original IMEI method thread here
A little about me, and what exactly I did. 2 months ago, I was throttled, so I used the APNs listed in the first post of this Throttled solved thread, and the HSPA+ bypass worked perfectly. I used the **** out of some data that month, bypassing at very nice speeds. I'll also mention that I'm on the LTE unlimited plan in an LTE area (San Francisco). As soon as my billing cycle ended, I switched back to the ATT apn and went back to unthrottled LTE speeds. I went a little crazy because a day later I was throttled again, but to my horror, this time the APNs that worked the previous month no longer worked. I tried everything, even traveling out of the LTE coverage area and switching APNs but still the HSPA+ bypass APNS no longer worked when they did the previous month. I'm been pretty devastated, but then saw this new IMEI method this morning and tried it out.
Here's what I did.
#1. Call ATT, told them I was troubleshooting my new Skyrocket and wanted to switch back to my old Inspire 4g and corresponding data plan.
#2 I gave them my IMEI # of the Inspire 4G, and over the phone they switched my data plans from the 4G LTE unlimited data plan back to my previous 3G unlimited data plan while also notating my new IMEI # for the Inspire 4G. They went over all the details of how my old data and new data plans would be prorated bla bla bla.
#3 Ended the call.
#4 Put the Skyrocket in Airplane mode, powered off, and took the sim card out of the Skyrocket and put it in the Inspire 4G (not sure if this was necessary, probably could have skipped this step and just called them back/step #5 from the Skyrocket)
#5 Immediately called ATT back, told them I was done "troubleshooting my Skyrocket" and that I wanted to switch back to that phone, gave them the Skyrocket IMEI and made sure they switched the data plan back to the LTE unlimited one . Went through the same long scripted conversation about the old/new data plans being prorated bla bla
#6 Ended call
#7 Put the sim card back in the Skyrocket, powered it on, turned airplane mode off
#8 Speedtest. Unthrottled LTE speeds!!!
I'm wondering if I should just switch over to the HSPA+ bypass APNs now BEFORE the next billing cycle and just never switch back to the LTE att apn, and maybe the bypass APNs will start working again?
So I searched through the forums for this, and didn't see anything so I figured I'd make a new topic....
I'm currently on a family plan, and I got my GS3 this summer on day one as I had preordered it to save my unlimited data...
However, for a multitude of reasons, I'm strongly considering closing my line off of the family plan and getting my own plan on ATT.
When I got my GS3, my receipt said $0 for the ETF, as did a number of other people I remember seeing around release time.
I'm curious, has anyone who had the $0 ETF canceled or heard of anyone who also had it canceling their plan with no charge?
Out of curiosity why Att? Not only will you not get unlimited data, the service is not as good as Verizon. I know because I came from them after 3 years of putting up with slow 3g and then getting threatened to have my plan switched and throttled without my permission. The only thing I miss from them is cheaper plan and not trying to lock down phones like Verizon which is the one thing that might drive me away eventually.

I can confirm this. Switched from T-Mobile to Verizon because of frequent dropped calls and their data coverage is horrible unless you live in a good size city. Plan prices were the best though.
Also their LTE is running on 2 different bands I beleive. My friend has an iPhone 5 and we compared speeds using the speedtest app. Mine was pulling 25DL while his was only getting about 5DL. I may be wrong about the bands but I sure made fun of that speed. Especially since Verizon lte is already carrying a heavier load than att's lte which is still kinda new

I have had my Nexus 5 since the beginning. I am on AT&T of course. I pulled the sim from my HTC One XL and put it into the 5. No problems. Up until this week I think. Speedtest will not go above 0.56Mbps. I am in Houston with plenty of LTE service. I check my At&T account and they have changed the logo above my phone number. It used to show Android HTC. So, I figure that Att has figured out that i am not using "their" phone. I call them up and they say that the IMEI's do not match. The tech guy was cool. He said he was trying to help me. That nothing was going to change. He did a few things but no dice. I wasnt sure if i was supposed to tell Att anything as they might ruin my chances at having good service with an unlocked phone. Anyway, i have restored my phone, changed APNs, and now I dont know what to do.

ATT is supposed to call back today. He said after resetting the phone, the last two efforts would be to send a new sim, and if that doesnt work, then its my phone. Now, I'm pretty sure it's not the phone. I also didnt have an option for Edge. THere was EvDo.

Well you do know if your on the Unlimited Data Plan on AT&T you get throttled down to about that speed after hitting 5GB .... .
Its probably data cap 5GB throttle city. It happened to me. I called ATT and they confirmed I was at 8GB for the month and had to wait till cycle flipped. After flip flying at "super fast" ATT speeds again.

I am on the Unlimited data plan. I didnt realize they would throttle me after 5mbs. I havent done any downloading of custom roms yet. I used to use data like crazy with my One XL and I never noticed any loss of data. I will try the cingular APN just for shiz. Thanks.
EDIT: I checked with ATT and yeah, my cycle ends either on the 7th or 8th and I have used about 6mb. So, fingers crossed for next week.

I just gave them my IMEI number and it all worked fine. I have a grand fathered unlimited plan too that was unaffected. I think Google made sure their phone would work with at&t.

You're lucky. I'm using my N5 on T-Mobile and I lost my grandfathered unlimited plan. I had no data (but emails and SMS worked ... strange). After a week of communications and testing tech support claimed that the N5 was not compatible with the grandfathered plan (it did show up in my account on the website as Unknown with unlimited data). After upgrading to a metered plan my service is excellent.

Can you confirm what plan and rom you're on? I'm on unlimited lte plan and I USED to be able to do this but since switching to the Nexus 5 they won't even let me connect via wap.cingular on the nexus 5 (even on 3g). I have no problem doing this on my nexus 4 or my i9100 gsII, but either the nexus 5 or att has been blocking me since

Well you do know if your on the Unlimited Data Plan on AT&T you get throttled down to about that speed after hitting 5GB .... .

That's what T-Mobile does on its grandfathered plans after 4.5 GB and on its new metered plans after you exceed your plan limit. Great, huh?
