Hello I have been having a problem with my One plus on my network. Its been taking a while for it to connect to data when accessing my phone on the fly. An example is that if I where to start streaming music from Spotify, between songs it would take a good 20 seconds before being able to start up the next track. This has been happening in all applications.
Im using 4g as my preferred network type, att lte (pta) as my APN,
it does find 2 different att networks when searching for "available networks" but im not sure what the difference there is between the two and there's no extra information on them

Thanks for your time,
any other information you need please ask
Possible Fix
I don't know if this will fix your issue, but I have had a similar problem and it fixed mine. Try resetting your default apn settings in Menu>Mobile Network Settings>Access Point Names. From that window click your menu option again and it will come up as Reset to Default. When you do this it forces your phone to shut off mobile data and re-access the mobile network again. It can take up to 60 seconds for this to complete. Let me know if this helps.
If you live in Washington Baltimore area at&t reports that there is lte data connectivity issues at the moment.
By the way for your apn it should be
1. Name of the apn (anything)
2. Under apn type in phone
3. Mmsc should be: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
4. Mmsc proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
5.
Try this make a new APN
Name: ATT LTE
APN: pta
MMSC:*http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: none
APN type:default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hipri,internet*
APN protocol :IPv4/IPv6 (this setting experimental and is optional)*
(make sure NO spaces after commas)
BEARER: LTE (default is unspecified) play with this one..*
CLICK MENU button and SAVE settings!!!!
STILL NEED STOCK APN-- in APN TYPE:MMS --this helps to insure you get mms better
Hope it helps you can play with the BEARER: LTE
This help me on my Nexus 5 and a friends Note 3
5. Mmsc port 80
6. Mcc and mnc leave alone
Apn type should be : default,supl,mms,hipri
7. Apn protocol should be ipv4

2nd way to get spotify to work better.
I know you may want to be on LTE but if you go back to 3G it will help as will. If are on a ROM that has an LTE toggle turn it off if not do this and see if it works. You would only have to drop back when using spotify. But the above APN should work as well.

First of all what device did you have before the OPO? Second if you came from an iPhone (lol which I hope you didn't) you'll have to get a new SIM card. If you didn't very the IMEI with AT&T I had a similar issue although I was coming from Nexus 5 when it showed 2 networks so I had to get a new SIM card and they have to "provision" and/or send a better signal to the OPO. That fixed my issue and you APN should be automatic but by default it gives you 7 to choose from. Myself I'm using ATT LTE pta and have no issues after switching SIM card and having them "provision" my device. But network operator/available networks should be automatic once you do what I did without having to switch it. Good luk bud!
FYI, not sure if it's dependent on the market of the USA you're in, but I've never gotten the "AT&T LTE" APN to work with any of my Android devices. I've always used the "AT&T Phone" APN. That works flawlessly for LTE signal on AT&T. Again, I'm not sure if you need to switch this depending on your region/market. I'm in the Metro Detroit area.
I've confirmed this with an HTC One X and LG Nitro HD. My last Android phone was a Samsung S4, but I don't recall what the default APN setting was for this phone. I just came back to Android from an iPhone5s and I'm loving it.

dont use the PTA apn. use the Phone one
---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------
or try to disable fast dormancy
Also, the 4.4.4 update arrived today for me and now the Mobile Data menu says "LTE Preferred" instead of "4G Preferred". I'm sure it made no difference in signal but just a menu text change. Also, the status bar at the top now says LTE. Before it used to say 4G, which we all know was actually LTE.

I am having an issue with sharing internet through USB tethering. I get a very small transfer rate that i'm not even able to load up speedtest.net to measure.
However on a wifi hotspot i get a moderately decent connection for a 3g region. I have looked at relevant forums and it doesn't seem anyone is having luck with this either.
I have an inspire 4g (no 4g coverage in my area)
provider: AT&T
ROM: Cyanogenmod 7.03
I am unsure of any additional info required but please don't hesitate to ask anything needed to know
Any help would be appreciated!
So this is what I found even though it talked about how to set this up for an EVO, its for any android device.Hope this works out for you.
First, head over to the Android Market and search for "PdaNet," or scan the barcode at right for instant access. Go ahead and install that bad-boy to your phone.
Now, on whatever computer you want to use for tethering, click over to the PdaNet Web site and download the companion PC program. You'll find options for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Mac OS 10.5 and 10.6. The basic edition of the PdaNet PC utility is free, though if you need to access secure (https) Web sites during your tethering, you will have to spring for the paid edition.
Once you're ready to actually begin a tethering connection, you need to adjust one little setting on your phone: Tap your phone's Menu key and select Settings, then Applications, then Development. Now check the box that says "USB Debugging" and press "OK" when the confirmation box appears. This will allow the PdaNet app to directly stream data from your phone to your PC. Be sure to go back into this same menu and turn it off when you're done using the tethering function.
At this point, you're ready to plug your phone into your PC via USB. Once it's connected, run the PdaNet app on your phone and select the "Enable USB Tether" option on the program's main screen. (You'll also notice an option for Bluetooth-based connections; if your computer has Bluetooth capabilities, you can select this to connect to your PC wirelessly instead of using USB.)
The app will now tell you that it's on and running as a background service. Next, just head over to your PC and find the PdaNet icon. On Windows machines, it'll be a rectangular cell-phone-like symbol in your system tray. Right-click the icon and select "Connect" from the pop-up menu.
That's it -- you're done! Your PC is officially tethered to your EVO, and you should be able to surf the Web at will using your phone's 3G or 4G connection

Thank you for the help however the android market has blocked pdanet and i've tried looking on the google apps and amazon apps and can't seem to find it anywhere on even junefabrics.com for the android version.
any idea how i can get ahold of this app?
edit: nevermind i figured the client installs it directly to the phone. this does not seem to resolve my issue of how slow it is but i've come to the conclusion it's because i am also on a network (without internet access of course). The whole reason i wanted to use usb tethering instead of the wifi hotspot was so i could stay connected to this network and share my media. any ideas on how i can resolve this?
thank you
hrmm thats a good ? have to find out myself cause I want to do some tethering myself cause a friend of mine has a tablet and I want to try it. So ill have to look it up. Be back shortly.

I have done the APN setup a few days ago and yes my setup is the same as yours. I think at this point it's come to an issue with my computer and not the tethering service. This is probably one of the few situations someone would have to remain connected on a wireless network and a connect to the internet with other means.
I cannot stream through the network as long as i receive any bandwidth from my phone and visa versa.
for now i'll just have to connect to my home network separately and disconnect my phone. If i come up with a solution i'll post. thank you for all your help CRYRAXDroid
hey no worries yeah if you do let me know that would be cool.
Hey guys im jumping over to the infuse forum to see if anyone may have any information on what may be going on with my moms phone. She has a Stock Infuse not rooted. and just last night she told me that after she rebooted her phone it wouldnt get any data. She could connect to wifi but she wouldnt get any data connection at all. So i went through all the normal stuff, rebooting again, battery pull, toggle airplane mode and nothing seemed to get it to connect at all. She took the phone to ATT today and they did a factory reset on the phone and everything and the phone still would not get data connection, swapped SIM cards, still no data connection. now shes having to get another phone. Does any of this sound right?? any ideas of what could have caused the phone to do this? and if i root and flash a custom ROM do you think i might have a chance at bringing that radio back to life?
EDIT: ATT said it could have been a virus... not sure if that would help either
Thanks in advance guys for any feed back.

Hm... stil not connecting... well the APN is set so it should... as for the "maybe a virus caused it"... not probable... but still idk whats wrong... what modem is the phone running? Settings--->System info (or something like that) then "baseband" what does it says?

Just make a new apn and select it and it will work. For the ones that don't know. The PTA apn lets att restrict your speeds. This apn can't be throttled.

I followed the instructions regarding the settings and after selecting this apn, I am able to make and receive calls as well as access to the web....does this mean I am good to go regarding the ability to avoid throttling? LTE hasn't reached where I live yet but I am trying to read up on issues concerning it.
I noticed another wrote that "it didn't work"....Does that mean phone is pretty much unusable as far as data and calling....
No if u are able to access web and call u are fine. So when u get throttled just switch to this apn and u will not be. I'm not in a lte area but they got me. So I switched and working fine.

To be more specific. When I change the apn I don't get a data connection at all. I'm in a LTE area if that makes a difference.
Oh OK I'm not in a lte area but I do get 9up 1down in area's and 5up 1down usually with this apn. Well when u get a fix let me know where its at. Cause im sure I'll b getting lte one day and want to know the correct one

They got me. The included speed test was on a combination of the phone, wap, HSPA, and standard apn presets. Note I'm running cm7 av3. Had to switch back from av4 because that Rom has no wifi. So yeah those apns aren't doing a thing here in Chicago.

Byrd...thanks for the help...I'm new to android, coming from a 10yr stint with blackberry. as stated, I don't have lte yet...att is telling me I don't have 4g in my area yet either but my phone shows a "4g" icon..go figure...but anyway thanks again for the help and when lte does get here and I do get throttled, hopefully this setting change will work.
Oh btw..I did a speed test and I'm getting 4.5mb download speeds...is that 4g or does it just default to the 4g icon due to my new 4g sim card that I had to upgrade?
The apn worked when I was in a non lte area but when I entered an lte area, I wasn't getting any data signal until I switched back to the default apn in which I was back to yh
Throttled speeds. . Any ideas on how to fix this?
Not sure if this is the correct area to post, feel free to move it.
This is for Bluegrass Cellular Showcase i500. It may also work for other Bluegrass Androids with MMS not sending or receiving.
Once you have installed a custom rom and everything except MMS is working properly. Follow these steps.
1. Open App Drawer - launch voice dialer.
2. Say open A P Ns - should popup Open APNs - select it.
3. Once in APNs - you may or may not have an APN listed - press menu - restore defaults.
4. If you have an APN listed - select it - if not then press menu and add new.
5. You should now see edit access point.

You can manually enter these settings. Go to the dialer and enter##83786633 then hit the home button, open the dialer again and clear what is there, then enter ##22745927, the SPC code is 000000 by default and then you can select to turn hidden menus on. Finally, go to the dialer again an enter ##3282#, and your in the manual data settings. I dont know any of this info, but if you do, please share

Well you could flash a stock Odin then bite the bullet and take it in to get reflashed. I know i am going in the morning to do this, i will create a dump when i get done and get back to you on it.

I activated a Verizon 4G Galaxy Nexus to my Bluegrass account. I downloaded "offline SIM APN Database" from the Play store. His app lets you input the apn settings even though it doesn't show up in settings. I used all the settings as listed on this thread, but like in my case I had no place to input them. Once you dowload the app (it has to be the PRO), select USA and Verizon. FYI You MUST delete all other APN presets in order for it to work. The app creator is Robert Soult. He is THE MAN!
I just wanted to let you know thanks for this! This helped fix my phone. And I also wanted you to know, I used this to make a script that fixes many MMS problems for Bluegrass Cellular. You can find it here...

Thanks very much!
Hello Verizon Note 5 XDA members, I myself am a owner of the Verizon Note 5, eagerly awaiting, and looking for ways to gain root on this phone.
Unfortunately we do not have it fully as of yet. So in the mean time I have been messing around, looking for things I can do without rooting.
I am unsure if anyone else has found this method, or posted it to any other websites, however I have not noticed this posted on XDA nor have I found any accurate
posts on how to change APN settings, unless the phone is from a different carrier other than Verizon.
TL;DR - Here's a method I believe I found for changing APN Settings without root.
My phone specs is the first screenshot in the steps.
I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO ANY AND ALL DAMAGES TO YOUR PHONE THAT THIS MAY CAUSE. DOING THIS YOU ACCEPT AND USE THIS METHOD AT YOUR OWN RISK WITHOUT HOLDING ME LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES.
First things first, I am unsure if this will work for lower versions, or any other model. Or if any other phone may contain this. My model and version is this:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also note, my APN Settings are greyed out, blocked, be whatever you want to call it.
Step 1. Clear all recent apps, or just make sure you do not have settings opened in the background processes. As this will stop you from reaching the bypass in step 6 and it will show the usual greyed out/blocked add button.
Step 2. Download Activity Launcher, or use any software that allows launching of app activities. I suggest Activity Launcher only due to this is the app I was using at the time I found this.
Step 3. Open Activity Launcher, and make sure All Activities is selected in the top left corner. It could take a few seconds, to a minute to load them all depending on how many apps you have installed.
Step 4. Locate the activity called "com.test.LTEfunctionality" without quotation marks. It should be near the bottom of the list in Activity Launcher. Expand the drop down by clicking on the activity once so it looks like the screenshot.
Step 5. Click on LTE Test to launch this activity. What launches should look like this screenshot below.
Step 6. Scroll down until you see LTE APN Setting as in the screenshot below. Then click it.
Step 7. Profit from changing your APN Settings to however you please.
To enable the APN, you must select it from the screen on Step 7, it will not show up in your usual Settings>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names. It will also appear as you have no APN selected in the usual APN screen. To modify your APN's again, you will have to go through all of the above steps again starting from Step 3.
Sorry, if I'm not in the know but why would I want this?
Thanks

You don't.. There's no need to change your APN (Access Point Name) when your phone is already set up to properly receive calls, texts and data. This will not do anything towards helping to root at all.. You would need this if you were trying to get a phone that you already paid for onto Verizon or some other carriers network. Other than that there's not much use of this.
I'm using a verizon version on Cricket/AT&T. When I inserted my sim card I had to manually enter my APN info and all i had to do was scroll through settings till i found the mobile networks. Then once inside that menu I hit APN. It automatically let me enter my info without having to go through all of what you were explaining...
I am currently deployed and brought my Verizon Note 5. I purchased a prepaid data SIM and had to edit the APN settings for it to work. I didn't have to go through all these crazy steps either, I don't know what this person is talking about.

I have a Verizon note 5 and I want to change to a free APN in my area. This didn't work for me but I'm going to try some variations . My APN is locked out like yours. Thanx
I finally got my APN to change
I tried this method and they must have patched it on the Dec 2017 software version because it did not open the APN Test at step 6..
What I did was put in am ATT sim card, went in to APN settings, Added an APN with the "TRACFONE.VZWENTP" APN settings and saved it. (the saved APN disappeared from the list after saving) Pulled out the ATT sim card, Reinserted my PagePlus sim card and restarted. It worked, I Now Have DATA!
The APN settings are still greyed out now and I can not change them but phone is using the APN i set while I had the other sim card in the phone so its working great for me!
I was excited, but unfortunately this did not work for me. I'm on Straight Talk and I updated to Nougat with Smart Switch, but now my data doesn't work. Would be super nice if I could change my APN setting and get it to work again. Verizon claims they don't lock their 4G LTE devices, but this definitely seems like a way of locking it.
Hey I just loaded a FreedomPop SIM card with no real problem. I swapped out the Sim card and then did a factory reset. It still tried to connect to Verizon but FP ran a setup program that allowed me to add a new APN. I them loaded Samsung package disabler 11.5 and killed the setup wizzard from Verizon. No more error messages.
