Anyone know what it is? I had mine set to Tmobile now I have no idea how to change it back (I think I've discovered a problem with MMS not sending when it's set on Tmobile APN... Just have to change it back to verify this).
I turned off boot emulation and it restored it after a reboot.
For other people, the default ATT APN is 310410.
I'd highly not recommend using Market Access to emulate it on boot.
Seems to have prevented some emails (data) from sending, as well as not allowing my MMS to send (but oddly enough... browsing and stuff still worked- which is why it took me so long to figure it out because it appeared data was working).

That is not the APN, that is the SIM card number.
The APN is how the network connects:

310410 is AT&T network id.
Captivate also suffers from MMS problem if your phone is using 2G/EDGE.

I did not know about the MMS problem but being on 3G it works fine. What the heck...
Thanks for the info nbs11.
That saved me a lot of time.
Peace
What problem does it have with mms in 2g? Mine works just fine.

Doesn't really matterrs any more. JH7 update fixed it.
It won't send MMS on EDGE when picture size > 100KB.
I went from stock to MIUI and hated it, battery life was horrible.
My stock battery life was pretty good. Sitting in my pocket it barely lost any percentage.
I ODIN to stock and flashed the latest CM7 just a couple hours ago.
I deleted the 2 APN's that came with CM7, and created the new one using the "bypass throttling APN" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474482
Now i cant send MMS. And still not so sure of battery life because i had the phone on with light usage and it went from 40% to 25% in 2 hours, pretty much sitting in my pocket and receiving maybe 10 text messages.
How do i get my MMS back?! thats my biggest problem right now.
I havent done a full charge yet, and i havent wiped any battery stats thru cwm ever...would it be too late now to do that?
Use the following apn settings:

I claim no credit, but it works great, just did it two days ago.
I did this but i was looking to bypass AT&T's throttling... now what should i do?
Also seems like pretty slow speeds/bad phone reception.
I haven't noticed a speed difference, but there might be a slight dip in reception, at least briefly throughout the day. As for the throttling, not sure about that, maybe someone else might be able to help.
I have an AT&T branded Galaxy SII i727 Skyrocket (4G LTE). It is not unlocked, has not been rooted and runs AT&T firmware. The phone was purchased independent of a contract (eBay). I am a very light user, but I find it convenient to have a data plan and initially used AT&T GoPhone prepaid. Phone and SMS worked properly on AT&T right away, but some tweaking was required to get data to work. After a few months, I switched to Consumer Cellular (AT&T MVNO). Again, data did not work at first, but CC's tech support gave me revised Access Point Name settings and all became as it should have been.
Recently (I don't remember exactly when, but it was in early or mid December), I finally gave in to the phone's insistence on updating to a later firmware version. From then on, I have been unable to get data to work at all. the 4G symbol no longer appears (although I doubt it was ever actually a 4G connection) and any App that requires a data connection (web, email, etc) complains about no connection. WiFi, on the other hand, works properly with all such Apps.
Here are the specifics of my phone:
Samsung SGH-I727
Android 4.04
Baseband Version I727UCLI3
Kernel Version:
3.0.8-1127534
[email protected]#1
SMPPREEMPT Thu Sep 27 23:12:45 KST 2012
2012Build number IMM76D.UCLI3
My questions are these:
Has anyone had this sort of problem (data on Consumer Cellular fails after upgrade)? If so, how did you solve it?
Was this problem caused by the upgrade? If not, what other issues might have caused it and how can they be corrected?
How can I revert the firmware to the previous version to confirm the cause and/or resolve it?
What else can I do to get my data connection back?
I am not particularly Android savvy, but I am not shy about making changes in settings and/or installing fixes.
Thanks,
Tenaya

Here's a silly question but did you add the APN your carrier gave you back after the update?

Consumer Cellular APN settings for Skyrocket i727
I recently moved my service from AT&T to Consumer Cellular using my existing Samsung Skyrockets. The new phone signal is identical to that of the old as far as I can tell. (same towers) My issue came when trying to setup my text and data side of my Samsung Skyrocket. The settings provided by CC on their website are incomplete. Be prepared to speak with a 2nd level tech to accomplish all of the connections required on "their" end. Here are the APN settings that are working on my two i727's as of Jan 2014. Both are running 4.1.2
Name: Consumer Cellular
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: "66 . 209 . 11 . 32" (without spaces)

User name: Not set
Pasword: Not set
Server: Not set

APN type: default,supl,mms,agps,fota
APN protocal: IPv4
Enable/disable APN: APN enabled (check)
Bearer: Unspecified
very helpful for my Skyrocket
Thanks for posting this. I had data working on my AT&T skyrocket, now used with Consumer Cellular, and then it stopped for no apparent reason. I had all the same settings as above, but on my phone the Authentication Type was unspecified or none. I changed it to PAP and now data is back. I don't know if I had never set this before, or if something changed it, but I'm glad it seems to be working again.
always when you format your phone, check the APN settings.
If it isn't configured you won't be able to surf.
happy to hear you fixed the issue.
good while it lasted -30 min

While changing that setting did bring the data connection back to life, it seems to have disappeared again. I'm not sure why. When I turn airplane mode on and then off, data doesn't reconnect. When I reboot the phone it seems to connect after maybe 15 minutes of trying. Could it be a bad sim card? Or maybe should I do a complete reset of the phone? I don't see anyone else reporting these sorts of symptoms, so maybe it is specific to my phone.
Another option for Consumer Cellular APN settings
I just got off the phone (third time in a week) with a tech support person at CC. They said they think they knew the problem. Because the AT&T SGH-I727 skyrocket is 4G LTE capable, a new APN should be set up:
Name: ccilte
APN: ccdata
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net

MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: default,mms,supl
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
I asked a couple of times if they really should be backslashes for Server and MMSC, rather than forward slashes. They insisted they should be backslashes, which is what I put in, and it worked, and then I changed them to forward slashes (which seems more appropriate) and that works too. That was weird, since I'd expect one to fail. So now I seem to get a data connection (it has been almost a day and it hasn't dropped data service). I even went in and out of airplane mode, turned wifi on and off, and data came right back, which never happened before. Hopefully this may help someone else who made the bumpy transition to Consumer Cellular.
This is courtesy of XDA member Bajanman's thread on the AT&T Note 2 forum. Let's test these APN's out on the S4 and see what happens. Changing the APN is also a way to become unthrottled if you still have unlimited data from AT&T.
This is a guide for changing your apn for throttling issues or trying to get a better signal.
Here's a list of the ATT APN list that I put together. I have tested these some work with everything DATA,LTE,MMS,VOICE, ETC. And some of them were request from other members here. So I just posted what was asked for into one location. If they work for you keep them if not, just delete and keep the ones you'll b using. NEVER DELETE THE STOCK APN JUST IN CASE!
If I run across any others I sure to add them here.
If anyone has any that I missed let me know and I'll add them to the list...
#1.Go into setting, then more setting, mobile networks, then pick Access point Names.
#2. In order to enter a new APN, hit the left menu key. Pick New APN, then enter your APN setting as listed below. After that hit Menu again then save! Then you can select that Apn, by hitting the dot next to the new apn
Everyone's results will vary, pending on location...

Some additional info for ppl who are curious: AT&T has different plans for different devices.
So for example, there is a 3GB 3G smartphone plan, a 3GB 4G (HSPA+) plan, and a 3GB 4G (LTE) plan.
The pta APN is only accessible on LTE plans.
The phone APN is accessible on HSPA+ plans and possibly 3G plans
The wap APN is accessible on *most* plans
The broadband APN is active on tablet plans, and plans with hotspot/tethering (Mobile Share, 4GB DataPro/5GB DataPro)
Used "AT&T Test 5" and it definitely made my speed faster and lowerd my ping. Recommend big time.

the wap.cingular APN is an expired APN that is no longer utilized for data connectivity except on older phones that are only 3G capable. Though it may work, its never recommended.
PTA was what was used when LTE was first rolling out for AT&T, this is the APN that comes stock on some of the first LTE devices that came out 1+ years ago (skyrocket, SGS3, Note1, HTC Vivid, etc).
phone is the APN that is currently applied today, this is now what all data plans apply regardless of the phone (LTE or not), and it can be utilized for any connectivity. By default, this will choose the highest available connectivity the device can use, IE: LTE devices will get LTE, standard 4G devices will get H+, etc.
broadband, though functional, is as listed above, utilized primarily for tablets, and phones that can tether. The reason it kicks back to the original APN when you try to use it, is because the phone reaches out to AT&T, sees that you don't have the 4/5 GB plan (or mobile Share), and tells your phone you can't tether without it. (however, when a phone is rooted and running custom ROMs, it ignores this check and utilizes whatever APN is active when you try to turn on tethering)
Generally speaking, I'd strongly recommend using the "phone" APN, or "PTA" APN (whichever works best for you) for your phone.
I work in data support at a call center for AT&T, btw. I get to deal with these types of questions everyday.

Great info!!!
Which APN would force HSPA+ (4G) only in an LTE coverage area?
Nope.
Unfortunately, there is no APN that FORCES H+ in LTE coverage area.
There are some roundabout ways to have it done that I've seen, like tampering with the network modes and such on the phone, but there isn't any AT&T way to do it. (not on android phones)
You should probably wait for like, Cyanogenmod or something to come out that enables LTE disable functionality.

the reason why test 5 worked better for you is because you set it to port 8080. the default att phone apn port is 80 but for some people port 8080 works better. the default att phone apn also has hipri in its apn type. also some people get better speeds when they specifically set apn authentication to none.

I think "pta" also had something to do with it though. My mom's GS2 (Skyrocket) was getting faster LTE speeds than my S4 and she was using "pta" instead of "phone" like mine was using. Either way I'm happy

but you can forced the phone on wcdma only using *#*#4636*#*# settings.
and even that didnt work for me. i had really slow speed on hspa when they throtled my phone. but I found out when i put my sim to a different phone and i still got my lte. it seems that att only throttles the phone based on the imei number that registered to the network.

If dodging the throttling is what your goal is, then just get on your myATT app and change your plan to the non visual voicemail version and back and it will be fine again. This resets your data usage back to zero, but it may cause pro-rated charges on your bill.

Thanks for this - played around a bit and did seem to get slightly higher speeds with the "test 5" configuration - it will be interesting to see if that holds up over time and proves to be consistently higher.
Having said this - I don't know if anyone else has experienced this - but I typically only get LTE speeds in my house at around 6500 MBS - much slower than what I get at work (28000 mbs) or even as much as 45000 MBS in some areas around town - speeds at my house have always been slow on every phone I have owned.
Since I got my S4 - I am typically getting speeds around 10000 MBS and soemtimes up to 15000 MBS - much faster than what I ever got on my NOTE 2 or the S3 I owned before I bought the note.
Is anyone else noticing speeds are higher with their New S4 in general or more specifically in areas that were always typically slower on their previous phones?

I'm not sure if this is the info you are looking for with enabling an HSPA only mode but if you go to testing mode (on dialer hit *#*#4636#*#*) click on Device info, change the setting from LTE/GSM auto (PRL) to GSM auto (PRL). After this you should notice your LTE change to just 4G. Hope this helps

Will not work. AT&T modems are RAT locked. If you do this, it won't stick. Try it out yourself.
However, taking the SIM card out and then selecting the option and then rebooting will work, but its a pain as you physically have to remove the battery too.

Could someone try this out and see if it works?
1) With phone on, take off back cover and press your SIM card so it releases from the spring. It won't come all the way out as it's blocked by the battery. This seems fine - I didn't bother trying to force it out as I didn't want to break anything...
2) Once you see the message that the SIM card is removed, go to the dialer and dial *#2263#
3) You should see a menu with band selections. The current setting is "Automatic". If you switch to "GSM All", you will be EDGE (2G). If you switch to "WCDMA All", you will be on HSPA+ (3G, though AT&T and others call it 4G).
4) Press the SIM card back into place until it clicks. For whatever reason the phone will not recognize it until you reboot. Upon reboot you should see your new setting in effect.

Actually, RAT locked or not this DOES work. I have been running at H+/nonLTE with no hiccups. I know the 2263 method doesnt work like it did on the Note2, though.

I can CONFIRM this does in fact work. I am shocked. The modem isn't RAT locked. I am to force EDGE, H+ only or all 3!!! Glad AT&T changed this. This wasn't possible on any other recent AT&T Samsung device.

Im using AT&T 5, i did notice a slight increase. I will be working near ATT antennas later today and see if I get better speeds.
I'd be interested in seeing all of your APNs along with all of their settings. Would you be willing to post screen shots of each APN or writing them down in a reply? I'm having issues with my SMS/MMS sending. SMS sometimes sends, and MMS doesn't seem to send at all. This is whether I'm on WiFi or LTE. Thanks!

I'd be interested in seeing all of your APNs along with all of their settings. Would you be willing to post screen shots of each APN or writing them down in a reply? I'm having issues with my SMS/MMS sending. SMS sometimes sends, and MMS doesn't seem to send at all. This is whether I'm on WiFi or LTE. Thanks!

This could be really useful! I personally just left mine at default.

Would you mind posting what your defaults are? I'm trying to get my MMS messaging to work. Thanks!

Exactly what yours are, except no APN 3.
I found out the issue. I had installed AdBlocker Plus (ABP). This app apparently queries all internet requests through their own servers. They were blocking MMS. I happened upon a post on Reddit that had the same issue and that's how they solved it.
I'm now using AdAway.

HOLY CRAP. THANK YOU FOR THIS. I was going nuts trying to figure this out.
On CyanogenMod I use the default. I had a S4 before I had my Nexus5 so I didn't touch my plan, just took my SIM out and threw it in the Nexus 5.
APN that works for me perfectly fine on LTE and HSPA+ and HSPA is same as "ATT Phone" listed above. Thats on a regular AT&T Family Plan.

I did the same thing, although I've been hearing that cell reception is better with the Nexus 5 than the S4, so I'm wondering if there's anything I need to do aside from just putting the different SIM card in my phone...it works well but I do get call drops I wasn't getting with the S4, it's acting up unlike the S4 - even though I hear it has far better reception.
Do I NEED to have them provision my phone?

No. You hear horror stories of when people call and try to provision the Nexus 5 with AT&T. The Nexus 5 isn't in this provisioning database, as it's a "unsupported" phone they don't tell (They won't touch anything with a unlockable bootloader). Because of this many times people get provisioned for a 3G phone as their generic phone provision doesn't support LTE or something along those lines.It all depends on who does the provisioning. Some people you talk to will set it up correctly, others will not. I've heard stories of people having to give them IMEI's of other supported LTE phones to regain LTE access after such issues.
If it works, don't touch it, and don't let AT&T know you have the Nexus 5 as long as you don't have to.
As for reception on AT&T. I really don't notice a difference between my S4 and the Nexus 5. A month before I got rid of my S4 I got a drop in service, as a LTE tower popped up in range, however I only get 1 bar of service from it, and both my S4 and Nexus 5 tries to connect to that, where as I have a full 4 or 5 bars service on a HSPA+ (3G) tower that is closer. I have to manually switch network mode to 3G only sometimes while home in order to guarantee I get calls.
To get adblockplus to work with AT&T MMS change the MMS port to 8080 from 80.

Hello my friend,
I'm grateful for your thorough reply. On my AT&T account online, it shows up as "no image" and I think on one page says Nexus 5. I never called anyone. I only popped in the SIM card.
Phenomenal insight regarding the low signal from the new LTE tower. Here is a question:
Is there an existing mod (or a best way to make a services mod) for a rooted Nexus 5 that will essentially switch down from LTE based on an algorithm determining signal db noise db etc. so that it kicks down when the signal is too low and does a query of the higher bands while kicked down at efficient intervals? I'm going to post this Q as it's own thread, actually. Been looking, can't find anything.
Again, much thanks for your thorough and very helpful response, WoodburyMan.
Cheers,
Justin

Haven't found anything like it yet. However it would be easy to set up. I forgot the app but there is some big app out there that can trigger events with certain conditions. Can't remember the name right now. Example: When see my home wifi connection, turn off bluetooth, and have it switch from LTE to 3G/2G mode. And when it detects say the WiFi at my work, switch from 3G/2G to LTE network type and such. That might be something worth looking into.
Well now. Seems I'm in that boat of trying to get Nexus 5 to work on AT&T.
Originally my Nexus 5 worked right out of the box with the "Phone" APN, which is a APN cable of being used on LTE networks.
This is because I originally had my phone Provisioned / Data Plan setup on a Galaxy S4 I bought from AT&T, and I simply swapped my SIM out to the Nexus.
Now, I just changed jobs, and one of the perks is job pays for my phone and data. (Woohoo!). They are also with AT&T, which makes things somewhat easier. However, now, when the account manager setup my phone, AT&T Business assumibly used the IMEI off my Nexus 5 to setup my phone and provision it on their system. Inadvertently it was set up with a Non-4G Provisioning, so that my phone would not be allowed on LTE networks. Likewise, the old "Phone" APN no longer works, and I have to use "ATT" "wap.cingular" APN to connect to get data on 3G.
I will be going to a AT&T store tonight to try and get this sorted out. Will post back with results. I believe all they need to do is reprovision my phone as LTE cable.
Went to local AT&T store. I was in and out in around 5 minutes.
Walking in, told them how I had working 4G LTE before, and I believe it was just provisioned correctly, and how I know it's a common problem with this phone as the Nexus 5 isn't in their system. They copied down my IMEI, shut my phone down, and reprovisioned my phone as a LTE capable device. Turned it back on, BAM LTE. ATT Phone APN did not work, the one I used before. However ATT LTE APN that uses pta in it's setting did work. Perfect! All set and done. Surprised as how easy it was.

Sorry to go off topic here, but I have an S4 right now and have been thinking about switching to a Nexus 5.
How do you guys like your Nexus compared to the S4? How does the battery life compare?
My two main fears is the camera quality and battery life will be worse on the Nexus.
Thank you so much for this! Followed your instructions and now I have my sprint phone unlocked and running on AT&T! No LTE but thats ok.:good:

I will never go back to Samsung. Their AOSP support is horrible, I can't stand TouchWiz, and the camera was horrible. I had a iPhone 4S, went to the Galaxy S4 and camera was horrible compared to my 4S. Went to the Nexus 5.. best phone camera I've had so far. Love the HDR+ feature in the camera. Battery life for me was the same. The removable battery on the S4 was nice, I'd just swap batteries out on the go. I got a ZeroLemon case for the Nexus5 though works good.

Read what I had to go through a post or two back. You can get LTE working it's just a matter of trying a different APN like the pta or phone APN's, or having them re-provision your phone properly. A good sales person or tech at a AT&T store can get you sorted out in a few minutes.
Following up these are the APN settings that work with LTE on a AT&T Business account. (ATT LTE, aka ATT PTA). Previousl "ATT Phone" APN worked for me on a personal AT&T account with LTE.
