I'm not sure which version of CM11 this began in or if it's even the cause but this is the only real major change I have on the phone. It was working fine before, but lately I've noticed LTE slowdowns to speeds like 60K and 130K. I used to get around 30Mbit and apps would just download so fast and I'd have no issues streaming YouTube videos. Before I waste my time contacting AT&T dealing with tier 1 support who knows less than I do about my phone I wanted to check with XDA.
I'm using AT&T GoPhone as my provider. Specifically the plan called "$45 monthly available at Walmart" https://www.paygonline.com/websc/rateplans.html (Note, you don't have to go to Walmart at all for this, I changed over to this plan form the $60 one when I noticed they added it to the list.)

I called and told them that the speeds are slow for downloading and streaming and they asked if I'd like to "add more megabytes to my phone". She was stuttering like crazy and having trouble completing her sentences. She was clearly reading from a guide and took long pauses between all her questions. This is why I hate speaking with providers .
She asked when it started happening and I said this month. Then she asked if it's also slow when I access websites on my phone. I explained that it isn't visually slow but that it wouldn't make sense for a mobile website to load slow. Then she asked how long it's been happening, "2 weeks?" I explained about the entire month. She asked if I have an LG phone then I said yes. She asked how many apps or games I download per day, I said less than one and she asked "how long will it took you to complete those downloads?". I explained it depends on file size. She said "it also depends on the details that say that certain application [unclear] megabyte [unclear] megabyte so it will be easier to do that. Mhm, there. so is there any error message any time you try to download applications?" I said no.
She asked for my zip code to check the outage in my area. She said thanks for letting them know I'm concerned with "my issues" and that they are "reporting a case here" and "providing information to their support". They added 50MB of data allowance to my phone plan. She kept going back and forth between adding $10 credit and adding 50MB of data, then she said 500MB of data for $10. Then she started calling it "megabits". I checked, they added 500MB.
She transferred me to tech support and I explained the situation. She asked me if the problem is that the speed is slow and when did this start happening, despite arleady providing this information. It's like they have some kind of form to fill out and they don't listen and just select things from dropdown boxes or something. After confirming my account she also asked if I'm on the $45 monthly plan, shouldn't they already know this? What a waste of time.. She asked what type of phone I have next then asked if it's AT&T branded. Then she read off the APN settings I should use (lol she said forward-slash forward-slash). She said APN type should be "default,mms,supl,hipri". She called Bearer "barrier" and I asked about APN roaming protocol and MVNO type and she said they don't have that. After changing the APN type the speeds were still slow.
She said she's going to refresh their connection with my phone and asked me to power it off, then a moment later to power it on. It was still slow so she asked for my city, state, and ZIP code. She said the towers in my area are definitely not the problem. By this time I noticed that the APN settings reverted, and I found there's an option I have to select to save the APN after changing it so I went and added that again, and informed her. Did another power cycle. No change. She asked if I recently downloaded keyboard or messenger apps and if there's any liquid or physical damage and how old my SIM card is. Next I was asked how often I update the software on the phone.
She said she's creating a case and the NOC will take care of it. She said she's going to credit my account and understands the frustration. She asked for the Android version and about what date I remember it last working properly. That was a 57 minute phone call that resolved nothing But I did it!
Let's get started?
EDIT: Saw you replied while I was on the phone, going to try that out now.
try adding those lines i posted to your build.prop, save, then reboot. let me know if theres a difference.

we can check if its cm.. make a nandroid backup in your recovery, then fully wipe and flash a stock or aosp rom. if the data speeds improve, then its cm. you can always restore your backup to get back to where you were in cm.
I know this is unrelated to your plan or helpful but reading that att has been accused of throttling back users download speeds for more expensive data plans
www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/28/att-slowing-speeds-data-throttling-ftc_n_6062360.html
As above you should try another rom/stock and see if speeds improve.
Interesting, the date makes this throttling idea very plausible. I made a backup, but before I got around to flashing any ROMs I took a nap and when I woke up I noticed I had no signal at all. Not 0/4 bars no signal, but no signal as in can't connect to the network. I tried toggling the connection and got nothing. I tried toggling airplane mode next, and still nothing. I reboot the phone and had signal again. I decided to do a speed test and the speeds are back to normal now.
(As I typed this I was watching that news video and that doesn't apply to me necessarily because it's contract-based. They were talking about "Unlimited Data" plans. I had the plan that allowed me 2GB per month (later 2.5GB) then switched to the 1GB allowance plan a couple months ago.)
Anyways here we go:

Help Needed!
I am currently living in Mazar-E-Sharif (Northern Afghanistan).
I am a current mobile subscriber to EtiSalat. I have activated the GPRS plan and applied the required credit (1000 af) to actually run the service.
I have contacted customer service (888) and the second I mention that I have a HTC G1, they immediately say that they cannot provide support.
Anyways, I told them to activate my GPRS regardless.
Well, 24-hours later, it worked! Like a charm.
About 4-days went by and no problems. Well, as of yesterday, my phone has decided to not even recognize and EDGE network.
So, is there anyone out there that could possibly help me by providing the APN for EtiSalat - Afghanistan?
This is what I got so far:
APN: etisalat.af.wap
Proxy: 10.0.0.172
Port: 80
Thanks in advance.

Anyone have any luck with this? I'm bought a sim card and am trying to get it to work with my modem, but cannot get the internet portion to work.
Use these settings...
I am in MeS as well.
I unlocked my T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant and these settings worked...but I just got a Galaxy S II from Amazon the other day and of course these settings work for this as well, since it is already unlocked.
Check out this thread on here...these settings work...

Etisalat introduced HSPA+ a few months ago. Truly awesome for this place.
How can it be awesome? The APN settings are keep secret for some reason. I paid for SIM, and data plan. The APN settings they gave me dont work, and their customer service (888) is nothing but a bunch of push 2, push 4 recordings.

Im starting to wonder if my Unlocked Samsung Vibrant can handle the freqs Etisalat uses for Data. I am sending text, and making voice calls no problem.
Etisalat-Afghanistan GPRS/APN
I'm at KAIA using an Etisalat SIM that I purchased Jun 2011. Data worked fine the whole summer using the little (overpriced) Samsung BT3410 I had to buy because my old WM5 finally gave up the ghost. Was back home ~1 yr then came back here last month (with the Samsung for local and HTC7 for other stuff). Seems Etisalat changes the settings on a whim and I had a heck of a time trying to find the right info.
So, as of today (2012-11-04), Szadzik's two line response is correct.
-- Set the "Name" to whatever you want (I usu put the APN name).
-- Set the APN ("Access name" on some devices) to "etisalat.af.web".
-- Clear out all the other settings (e.g., Proxy, DNS, UserName, PWD) and save the profile.
Once I did that (and obligatory reboot), all was good, relatively speaking (the phone itself blows so no great loss if it gets eaten by an MRAP).
@lostwhat83 (and anyone else that pulls the settings directly from the AFG Etisalat site), the information posted on the site is wrong!

On a similar topic, anyone know how good the Etisalat signal/speed is at RC-SW? Heading there shortly...

Hello everyone,
This thread is for those of you who have manually edited their APNs to increase data speeds. In my APN thread, every once in a while I see a complaint where the user says the "Phone" APN (which is the 2nd APN) will not stay selected. Historically I've been telling people to reboot their phone and try again, or try adding a 3rd APN (for some reason when a 3rd APN is entered, the 2nd one will usually stick). I have seen this problem myself. There may be a more elegant and effective way to prevent this issue, which is what this new thread is all about.
I took another look at the default APN config in the stock updated ROM (the OTA HSUPA update that came out at the end of April), and noticed that the "Phone" APN (which is the APN that provides the faster speeds in some markets) is listed first. As most of you already know, this APN is missing from all custom DHD/Inspire ROMs, which is what prompted this procedure in the first place. For simplicity, my APN procedure (up until now) has been telling people to just add the "Phone" APN as the 2nd one. Speed wise, it doesn't matter which order the APNs are in, just as long as the "Phone" APN is selected and stays selected, but some people have trouble with the selection reverting back to the 1st (slow) APN, sometimes later on without their knowledge. In this new procedure that is listed below, it tells how to delete all your APNs so you can start from scratch, and then add the fast "Phone" APN first, to ensure it will always be selected since it is listed first. The 2nd APN is merely for MMS. This APN layout is the same as the stock ROM.
This procedure "should" work on all ROMs, but that's why I'm asking for beta testers to see what problems arise. I want to get some feedback before officially updating my APN thread in the dev section. Anyone that performs this beta procedure and provides feedback, I will click on their "thanks" button.
Standard warnings apply: make a nandroid backup before making this change, etc. Messing with your APNs is messing with your data connection, but everyone should know that already.
Step 1. Delete all APNs:
Press Menu button --> Settings --> Wireless and networks --> Mobile networks --> Access Point Names
Press the left side of your 1st APN to go into the settings of this APN, then press Menu>>Delete APN.
Repeat this process for any other APNs you have. The goal is to delete all APNs so we can start from scratch.
Now do the next steps in the same order as below:
Step 2. Create a new APN (Menu>>New APN) with these settings, everything is case sensitive. This will be your 1st APN:
Name: MEdiaNet
APN: Phone
MMS protocol (if applicable): WAP 2.0
MCC: (don't change this number)
MNC: (don't change this number)
APN type: default,admin (notice there is no space on either side of the comma)
APN protocol (if applicable): IPv4
everything else: <Not set>
Press Menu>>Save. You will now be back at the initial APN screen.
Step 3. Create a new APN (Menu>>New APN) with these settings. This will be your 2nd APN:
Name: MMS
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
Username: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cinguar.com
MMS port: 80
MMS protocol (if applicable): WAP 2.0
MCC: (don't change this number)
MNC: (don't change this number)
APN type: mms,supl (notice there is no space on either side of the comma)
APN protocol: IPv4
APN protocol (if applicable): IPv4
everything else: <Not set>
Press Menu>>Save.
You will now be back at the initial APN screen again. Make sure the 1st APN (named MEdiaNet) is selected (via the round radio button on the right side). Your data connection will drop for a few seconds.
We're done. Let me know if you have any problems. If for some reason you notice your speeds are slower or faster, this is due to the normal wide variance in AT&T network speeds. If you were already using the custom APN config, there is absolutely no reason why this APN config would slow you down or speed you up; all we're doing is changing the order of them.
If you need to revert back to your default APN config, from the APN selection screen just press menu and select "Reset to default". Or worst case scenario, simply restore your nandroid backup.

If you posted this yesterday, I would've been first in line to experiment. But I've finally stabilized my data speeds after countless days & hours of tweaking (using your methods, and others I've found around here).
Have you ever experimented with [email protected] (as opposed to [email protected])? This has given me better speeds, both when I was stock and on a custom ROM.
EDIT: I've read through your entire thread and don't remember if someone else had the same problem or not. When using the two APNs method, my connection would drop temporarily (always reconnected within a few seconds though) sometimes. Is this something you've seen happen?

No worries. As the old saying goes, "don't fix what ain't broke". Especially if the road to stability was a long one.

I just tried it and saw no difference. In theory, this shouldn't affect anything speed wise, since this username is only located in the APN used for MMS (when using the dual APN config). Maybe you've been experiencing the normal crazy AT&T speed inconsistencies, and it was just a coincidence that your speeds were faster when using the alternate username? Just a thought.

Personally I've never seen this issue. My phone doesn't normally drop its connection, regardless whether I'm on 1 or 2 APNs (unless I'm in a very low signal area of course). Sounds like your ROM didn't like having its APNs messed with, or something else was going on. Hard to tell.
Thanks for your feedback BTW.
@XAviierG, bcd420, biglittlegato - thanks guys!!!
biglittlegato, if you're willing to test on multiple ROMs then go for it! I won't stop you. I'll thank you every chance I get.
Rockin the new settings now. Will try mms next. Coverage is spotty here, will know more once I get her back home.
Edit: mms works. So far data is much slower. Will try next to the good tower after work.

Cool, thanks for the update. This new APN layout definitely shouldn't cause any slowdowns, so you were probably just experiencing some slowness in your area.

Where I work I bounce from 0-4 bars of EDGE to 0-2 bars of HSPA while sitting still. There is a tower in town where I typically get 3 to 4 mbps down and have seen as high as 5.5 down. My typical uploads are 1 to 1.5 mbps. Since the APN change I am getting 500 kbps down with 150 kbps up. I'm sitting about 3 miles from the good tower. I'll report back after I run some tests closer to the good tower. I figure I'll run this setup for a couple of days and then try again with a different rom.

I just installed ClearDroid 1.1.4 and I don't think this is going to work. The first APN is locked (wap.cingular) and there is no way to delete it. Nothing happens when you press menu, just the keyboard from a long press of it.

Yeah I forgot that some ROMs have a locked APN, so this procedure will only work on the less restrictive ROMs. Thanks for checking though.
After changing ROMS, I've noticed my data speeds have slowed down quite a bit and I am doing a little troubleshooting to try and figure out the problem. I'm still on the stock radio. Would someone be kind enough to post what the default data APN settings loaded on the Sensation are for T-Mobile USA? Thanks!

So, I'm flashing a bunch of different apps trying to figure this thing out. I loaded the latest MIUIJB and still my mobile data was jumping in and out, quickly.
In the APN settings, I noticed my "Type" was different than the above. My "Type" just said "default,supl,mms" When I added "admin,dun,hipri" it connected. Maybe coincidence? Dunno. Now I'm flashing back to Bruce's CM10 (9/28). Will check then...hopefully it'll be the fix for my specific situation (yes, I'm dreaming...).
UPDATE: Installed Bruce's CM10 (9/28) and mobile data is still working...APN "type" is listed as "default,supl,mms" only.

It's probably a coincidence.
I will tell you that I've had the data problem with the Type set at default,supl, admin,hipri,mms
The only thing different in this version is adding 'dun'. I just did that too for kicks because I'm curious about any possible fix. But I'd bet that it's either just a coincidence that the data just started working for you after that or what really fixed it was that you messed with the APN settings at all which forced the connection with the tower to reset. I've had that same issue where I've messed with APN settings and data mysteriously started working again too.
But keep testing data for 10-14 days and see if you get the instability again. I will too. If we don't then the 'dun' setting is the key.
I don't think we'll find that's the ultimate sollution thought.

My data wasn't broken at the time I added the 'dun'. So I have no idea if it helped or not. I try to save these 'fixes' until my data breaks to see if any show immediate results but I didn't this time.
Flashing the new build has triggered the break fro me in the past, but it comes back within a few hours.
What shouldn't happen when you flash an update (if you don't do a full wipe) is changes to your APN settings. Whatever changes you made on 9/28 should still be there on 10/1

Bad timing for me to test this stuff...going out of town tomorrow and will definitely need mobile data this week. Senseless Revolution, here I come.

I keep a nandroid backup of Hyper NonSense ready to be restored on my SD Card for emergancies.
It won't have my latest text messages or anything but I can flash to it and have working mobile data in 3 minutes in an emergancy. And it only costs me 1GB of SD card space.
If you take the time to set that up once, you don't have to worry about flashing a fresh install of a Sense ROM and setting up your accounts and apps later.
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?

No, not silly.
Since I had to do that to fix both previous problems, it was the first thing I did.

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)
Port: 80
User name: Not set
Pasword: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: http :// mmsc . cingular . com (without spaces)
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: PAP
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 proxy: proxy.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.
You can use your existing SIM, but I ran *228 on mine a while ago and wanted back to 4gLTE
I obtained a new SIM from Straight Talk for free
You can get the SIM on Wal-Mart.com for $5 (BYOD Kit)
I had them re-provision my phone
I ported my number
I had problems with everything after a while
I reflashed to Lollipop - Fresh Everything
It went back to the Straight Talk network after flashing (fresh not-dirty)
I can now text as well (not sure this ever stopped)
I called Straight Talk and got an APN from them since none of the APN I had was working
Within a minute of placing in the APN it was working
APN Info
acct.tf.gw6.vzwentp
mcc = 311
mnc = 480
apn type = default,dun,supl
apn protocol = 4 & 6 (local and roaming)
LTE now rocking like a champ
Just wanted to share my experience.
wow, it's too bad i called straight talk 70 times and they couldn't tell me this
New setting is
TRACFONE.VZWENTP
I've tried this and numerous other APNs on my LG G2 (VS980) but I've had no luck. Anyone have any other suggestions to try out? I've called ST a few times and have even tried a new SIM card to no avail. Still stuck with 3G

If your on straight talk do you have the right sim card? If it's a verizon device you need a specific CDMA sim card
Sent from my Nexus 6
Yes. Both cards that I've tried are cdma. When I switch my radio to GSM I get no signal. LTE only, no signal. And CDMA I get 3G. ST says that I have all my provisions and that the signal should switch on its own, but 3 weeks later, still no 4G

With straight talk all you need is the app to set the APN settings on most phones. As long as it's set it should work. I've had 3 phones now that work like a charm on straight talk
Sent from my Nexus 6
I've also tried the app and I think its only for GSM phones. I've also tried flashing different ROMs but that didn't work either. I'm running out of options for getting this phone to work. I'm almost starting to believe that they are doing this on purpose so that I spend money on a new phone. Lol.

I have a VZW S3 that I used the app on and ran 4G with no issues. I used the app to add the APN settings just fine. I've noticed custom roms have the APN settings built in

Just wanted to say this worked for my dad's LG Treasure (ugh.) Spent about an hour scouring the net and this is the thing that fixed it.
Thanks!
Edit- Also the ST Data app errored out when I pressed "Go." Useless.
I dont understand how the dumb ZTE phone i bought for $40 from walmart with a straight talk plan works AMAZING, gets 25mbps speeds, gets awesome signal. But the S4 i just bought the BYOD sim card for just refuses to get a good signal, gets slow speeds 1mbps to 5mbps, constanly loses its data. I dont know what to do. Im about to just go back to the phone that can only handle one app open at a time since its actaully worked. It would be nice to use navigation and listen to pandora though lol
data offline and no mms
My rooted Verizon GS5 with TF sim card is randomly losing data service (group mms is now working with textra). ST customer service provided an APN but the issue with data offline is recurring. I used BuildProp and APNchangeR apps to update APN settings (leave all other fields blank) steps:
1. Installed BuildProp, Edit code at bottom to add:
#Code:
ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL
2. Save changes and Restart Phone
3. Open APNchangeR (Note: APN will disappear after saving but is there)
Name: TRACFONE.VZWENTP
APN: tfdata
4. Open BuildProp, edit to remove code, save, and restart.
From this post, it appears the settings provided by ST might be wrong and should be:
Name: TRACFONE.VZWENTP
APN: Info
MMSC: acct.tf.gw6.vzwentp
MCC: 311
MNC: 480
APN Type: default,dun,supl
APN Protocol: 4 & 6 (local and roaming)
*After updating settings to above, is anyone still getting data offline or mms issues?

Missing a few things for the apns. I know with newer phones you don't even need to add the apn manually where as the sim card is automatically recognized. I can screenshot what is missing but I know if varies by device. My Nexus 5 was recognized by default as well as the N6 but the S3 needed to be input manually. My co worker has an S5 and it also needed to be input manually

Those are the APNs I've used on ST S3 for 2 years, no issues at all. What is missing? They are also the APNs I got from Tracfone/Straight Talk.
The N5 I got my wife and put on ST didn't need APNs set either, it did that by default from SIM.
