APN Information

Using Any Cut, you can create a shortcut to the APN manager and look at all the connection info from tmobile. I guess this is going to come in handy when people start trying to get the G1 to work on other carriers.

On a side note, still have the $5.99 tzones, tmo hasn't switched me yet. Still working on 3g, anyone else?

Are you sure? I went to my t-mobile account and saw I had both on my services the G1 data plan and the 19.99 data plan and I also had the 400 txt messages. I removed the everything except the G1 plan. Just my experience

I heard somewhere, the new plans will kick in on the 28th??? The last day of the bill cycle.
We are using the 3g or anything else for free till the new cycle starts.
Just what i heard.

Hmm...interesting. I heard it would be pro-rated...but honestly WOULD be easier for them to do it this way. That would rock

i delete all apn and only made once for tzone 5.99 plan and is working how the dash.

Very strange, after reading this thread i checked my tmobile account and i still had the $19.99 total internet add-on and unlimited Text Messages for $14.99 plus the G1 Plus Service. This must of just been added, i had checked on Friday night to see if it was there and it wasn't. But TMobile tried to make an extra $34.99 off me by not removing my total internet and unlimited text! Bastards! But i know they would of taken that charge off when i called....If i called =)

if you plan to use G1 data with other phone/data card, make sure you use epc APN, or it won't work
if you plan to use regular phone with G1 data, have
use epc.tmobile.com as APN
use wap.t-zones.com as homepage
no proxy required

The APN screen is not hidden, it can be accessed regularly.
Go to:

Unlocked sidekick data problem?

SO I unlocked my Sidekick earlier in order for there to be more of a market for it when I sell it, but when I popped in my friends AT&T sim card there seemed to be no data connection, anyone know why there wouldnt even be EDGE or anythng>

I have the same issue. Got this sidekick, read on here how to root it and unlock it. Called att to update my imei code, went to an att store to have them get me a new 4g sim card, aaaaand I have no data what so ever.
The only thing I've read on some random android forum I found, was that this sidekick uses a different radio freq unsupported by att. And something to the nature of since "sidekick" is a tmobile exclusive phone, tmobile has some 3rd party data service provider for it. And that service providor, since its a private co, has

Sorry, accidently hit submit. So that 3rd party data provider has sole control over all sidekick data connections. Possibly like how you need a blackberry plan for blackberrys to utilize bbm. I'm not sure. Again, I only found these 2 reasons on some random forum, and they were not repeated elsewhere, so I don't know how accurate this is.
It sucks for me bc I have unlimited data too, not capped off at 2gb/month like the current plans.

Thanks alot for your answer!
Im in kind of the same situation. I let my friend take over my ATT phone because it had unlimited data and I didnt wana cancel so I just got the Sidekick prepaid plan to easily tranistion to my ATT sim but I was dissapointed when It owuldnt even pick up EDGE

That sidekick data thing was for the old sidekicks when they ran danger's OS it doesn't apply to ours because it is android.
Sucks you guys are having this issue, i would go into your connections menu and try messing around with those settings

When you switch over to a different network you have to change your phone's APN settings. I went to europe this summer and got 3G over there the entire time with their SIM cards.
to get to APN settings go to SETTINGS>WIRELESS&NETWORKS>Mobile Networks>Access point names....
Now you'll have to create an APN depending on what your network is, you should have a T-Mobile one by default, but to get the proper settings, you can just do a google search for "(your network) APN settings" or call your provider

Oh ok thanks! All I did was connect to a default network

[Q] LTE not working on grandfathered ALLTEL plan

I currently have an unlimited data plan called Connect Pack 1 from my Alltel plan that transitioned over onto the Aria that I was given as a replacement for the Moto Q that I was using.
Anyway, when I got the Skyrocket, they tried to make me transition to an ATT data plan, but I wouldn't go for it. I bought the phone outright, expecting to at least get the 3g working, but they said they couldn't.
I used the apn settings from the aria, and I do get 4G but for whatever reason, the
LTE icon isn't showing up in the notification area. I live in Houston, and we are supposedly one of the area's with it.
The settings I used are the wap.cingular settings that I see are listed elsewhere on here. Is there something additional I need to do to get the LTE to work.
Will the phone look like an Aria to ATT or am I going to be getting a notice to upgrade my account shortly?
Thanks

You need an LTE sim and the LTE plan to be able to access the new network. Maybe see if they can change your sim and plan?

Thanks for the prompt reply
I don't want to change the plan. Right now my data plan is cheap, and I want to keep it that way.
If I get a new sim, is there a chance that the LTE will work using the settings listed on wap.cingular? If it does work, how long before you think I would start getting some notices about it from ATT?

I live in Houston too.. and I have unlimited data.. I do get the lte icon beneath the 4G.. but it looses signal when left alone for a while.(sleep). And I have a regular hspa sim card.. I will go to att today and see what I can find out...

hope you hear something positive. The Cingular settings give me stable 4G which is actually better than I expected after my discussion with the att store about getting the phone. All they seemed to be interested in was getting me to sign an att 2year contract (haven't been under contract for years) and transition to a limited data plan. Not what I wanted so I just bought the phone off craigslist and entered the apn settings myself.
All I am truly worried about is if they update the data plan themselves if they notice the 4G phone on a 3G plan. I'm hoping since my original phone and the skyrocket are both android it won't raise any flags. I would love LTE but I am pretty happy with hspa+ for now.

I also am a former alltel customer and was moved to an aria. It recently broke and I got a skyrocket whick is great, but I live in Carlsbad NM and don't get lte anyway. So today I'm going to return the skyrocket and switch back to my alltel plan(at&t already said they could dueto buyers remorse). The guys at the local at&t here gave me the same crap about the skyrocket being unusable, which as we all know is bull. I have a galaxy s II gt-I9100 internationalversion on the way. I will also try my apn settings from my aria. Thanks to everyone who actually assists people unlike corporate customer care.

LTE uses the new pta APN.
Runs through proxy.mobile.att.net

[Q]Do I need an LTE data plan?

Just bought the One X off ebay and would like to keep my current plan. Cellular data is not connecting though and says there is a problem with the APN. Tried adding a different APN but it won't let me select it.
Does this have to do with me not switching to an LTE data plan? Any fixes?
Thanks!!!!

Yes. The APN on the One X is setup to use an "LTE" data plan so, in a sense (no pun intended), you will need an "LTE plan". They are the same price as the other data plans so it's not a big deal, just dial "611" and have them switch the plan.
I think this even goes if you don't live in an "LTE area" yet too, it's just the way they provision the phones/APNs/data plans.

You can (and should) get an LTE plan. It doesn't cost anything more, and doesn't "really" change your existing plan. They "technically" have to change the plan, but they have versions of the old plans (for those that are grandfathered in), but with LTE added. That sounds a bit confusing. But for instance, I still had unlimited data with 200 text messages. It took them a few minutes. But they "changed" my plan to unlimited data with LTE and 200 texts.
They have to do this in order to properly provision your account for LTE. Plus, if you are on unlimited data, it will increase your limit (before throttling data speed) from 3 GB (per month) to 5 GB. So its win-win all around.
Just go into the store, and they should be able to fix you up. If you are on unlimited data, just be sure they do it right, as its hard to fix after the fact if they accidentally remove unlimited and put you on a tiered plan. If they can't do it, don't change anything, walk out, and go somewhere else.

Thanks for the replies! Was worried I'd have to upgrade to the new 300mb plan.

No H+, LTE or MMS on AT&T

So I can't get LTE or hspa+ to work on my n5 using at&t. MMS doesn't work either.
Hspa works fine. 6mb down and 1mb up. Which is fine for me. But still strange. This is a new at&t Sim. So its not a simcard issue. I just recently got data on my account. Because before it was just a minutes only plan and I kinda cheated the system and got a unlocked phone, simply poped my Sim in and thats it.

What ROM are you on? You should be able to go to settings/more/cellular networks/access point names then choose either ATT LTE or ATT Phone. No editing required.

Tried att phone. I found some kind of APN just now, it finds hspa but its spoty at my house so can't check for sure if I get hspa+ or LTE. But i m using cataclysm ROM. Elemental x kernel.
One thing I noticed is the only APN that works is .Cingular. Anything .att doesn't work.

Just checked. My house is covered with 4g LTE

Your might have to call ATT and have them provision the phone. They'll just need the imei.

Last thing to check would be to make sure you have Preferred Network Type set to LTE under Cellular network settings. Other than that you might have to live with HSPA. Trust me though ATT knows damn well it's a smartphone. They may consider your plan grandfathered they may not. If they don't expect a bill from them sometime in the future.

The plan I used to be on was discontinued. And then I bough an att HTC first. Went to the store and they gave me a new Sim to fit in it and warned me I may be charged for data in the future during data sweeps. Then I had many phones after that, no data. And now this plan I can have data :/ its the mobileshare plan. And oh they know its a smartphone. They knew I had an atrix HD so....that's kinda odd.
I'm just wondering if it costs extra to have LTE vs the 3G.

No, LTE doesn't cost more than 3G. It's all part of the same data plan.
