Requesting AT&T APN Settings for Galaxy S4 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hey Everyone,
I need the AT&T APN Settings for the Galaxy S4. I flashed to Foxhound Rom(I9505 rom) and flashed a AT&T Kernel but now my data speeds are all out of whack.
Here's the settings I've tried so far http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31135-att-apns-for-custom-roms/, but it's still too slow on the speedtest app compared to what I was getting before.
Also I noticed after using the above settings, my "Network Mode" (found in the Mobile Network settings) keeps switching from what I set it to -- LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect) -- automatically to WCDMA/GSM (auto connect).
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Himalaya's Playa

Select the "ATT LTE" APN and that should do the trick.

Thanks for the speedy response Thermawolf. Currently I have all 5 APNs plugged in, and I'm still getting these speeds (3 down /.5 up) in an area where I was confirmed to have LTE. Should I only be using one APN?

Hmmmm I don't know what you mean by plugged in? The phone itself should acquire these APN's when it scans for networks. Make sure you are just using the ATT LTE apn it acquires and then go back and select GSM/LTE/CDMA or something like that and it should stick and hopefully fix your speed. Although your area might not have full LTE yet.
Ok here's my exact ATT LTE settings from the APN, sorry I didn't realize I could be more specific with this lol, still learning as I go myself

I had to manually enter new APNs into my phone. what I did just now was delete the other 2-3 APNs (Cingular, Cingular MMS) and now my speeds are back up to 20Mbps down, but my upload is at 4.5Mbps up. Is the upload speed normally that much lower?

That is an extremely low upload for LTE that's for sure. I would run a couple tests and see what happens. It could also be ROM related as I am running Task650 AOKP.
Also I updated my post with my APN settings.

what modem are you using? Also, I noticed you are sprint, is this for the same device?

Galaxy S4 - no LTE option?
I recently bought an unlocked unbranded Galaxy S4 GT-I9500. I let it (probably a bad judgement call) auto update via WIFI from 4.2 to 4.3 before it ever had a sim chip in it. I'm assuming not an ATT update, no branded bloatware. Root was easy with Odin. So...now on ATT, but not getting LTE? Added the APN settings shown above, but found no LTE listed in the Network mode options. No Network access when I select that APN either. WCDMA/GSM auto and single option for each only thing there.
Any ideas / suggestions?
Maybe I just need to find the right ROM, I like Cyanogenmod 11 kitkat, and get that on there and see what happens.

I do believe that that the i9500 does not have LTE.

unlocked on at&t no 3g

I tried to get the $15 (200 meg) data package to work, but there is no signal showing up on the phone. anyone got any ideas?
Yeah. I have really good idea....... at&t sucks

They use different freqs for the different companies 3g in the states, at&t uses the "standard" freqs and tmob uses its own due to fcc regs. They may also use different flavors of 3g also(ie UMTS, HSPDA, wcdma) the acronyms are endless...

Any ATT data plan should work, but only with ATT's 2G service*.
there are a few things I could think of that could be causing your problem which are separated by phone or network problems (these are all assuming your phone is searching for signal and isn't giving you any obvious errors about the sim):
PHONE PROBLEMS
1. Your MT slide is locked to WCDMA only, which won't work on ATT (see explanation below*).
2. Your unlock method didn't work.
3. Any other random prob with your handset hardware/software.
NETWORK PROBLEMS
1. You are not in a ATT 2G coverage area
3. You are in a location that the ATT 2G signal is being blocked.
2. There is an ATT network outage in your area.
The quickest way to narrow down your prob is to get a hold of an ATT phone that is working (either from a friend or an ATT store) and test your sim in that phone. that will tell you if you need to start troubleshooting your phone or your sim/att service.
*ATT uses a different frequency for their 3G coverage (ATT uses 1900 mhz and 850 mhz WCDMA as oppose to T-Mobiles 1700 mhz WCDMA). this means that if you locked your phone to WCDMA on the slide, then it is going to try to look for an ATT signal at 1700 mhz, which does not exist. Unfortunately there is no way to "re-tune" the radio hardware in most devices to operate on a different frequency, so your probably stuck with 2G only if you continue to use ATT.
the only exception that I know of is the blackberry bold 9700, in which the radio hardware actually supports all gsm/wcdma bands, and just has the "Carrier appropriate" bands enabled in the software. this may be the case with the MT slide, but I doubt it.
UMM before any of that I'M GUESSING YOU HAVE THE PROPER AT&T APN SETTINGS?? Correct?? .. if not, you need to find the att apn address and replace the stock epc address

The apn definately must be correct to use data once the phone finds signal and connects to ATT's network, but jeffbichel said his problem is that the phone isnt getting any signal to begin with. the apn only comes into play once your phone has already found and connected to a cell tower.
I read elsewhere that the only way to get a Slide working with 3G on AT&T is to order one destined for Roger's telecom Canada since they use the same 3g frequencies as AT&T...
You can use a TMO phone on AT&T, the 3G will not work, EDGE only. On an Android phone the APN settings must be set correctly for AT&T for the data to work.

GRI40 - Intermittently can't connect to 2g/3g networks?

curlz06 said:
I've just realised that ever since I updated to GRI40, my 3g/EDGE/HSDPA connections don't work at all.
I've tried flashing radios 5.08, 5.12 and even 4.06, but it just doesn't seem to pick up my data connection at all. All I've got is standard connection, but no 3g/E/H icon to tell me that i've got a data connection...???

Saw this post in the First Impressions of GRI40 thread (see here).
I also have this problem. It's intermittent, but currently I'm at home, I turned off wifi, and my phone shows bars of signals, but no 2g/3g icon at all. Normally I can get both 2g/3g at home just find.
Tried turning off stuff like Juicedefender (worried about it messing things up). Rebooted the phone, toggled 2g/3g, nothing... Intermittent as earlier today I was using 2g and 3g with no problems...
Anyone else with this problem?
I'm on Rogers Canada, and am using a stock unrooted Nexus One.
Might have fixed it... was googling around. Right after GRI40 I had 2 APNs (I've never set them up.. there by default).
Replaced it with these values from this thread:

This is obviously only a rogers fix, original poster who had this problem was Vodafone UK.. maybe APN problem?
I am having this issue, too. 3G doesn't work at all. I have to tell the phone to only stay on Edge and then it will stay connected. In fact if I uncheck that box, I lose everything including voice/text

No 3G on R800a

I did not want to post this but i just got a R800a new and i am on AT&T network but the only thing i am picking up is Edge network so i was hoping maybe someone had a simple answer .
The only thing i have done with the phone is update to 2.3.3 nothing more yet.
Id like to root it next but i wanted to take it 1 step at a time.
Thank you

Hmm I havent found the APN info yet for AT&T I tried a google search but there are so many different types the process is below but you will need the info. I will keep looking for APN settings.
Ok so follow these instructions.
1. Go to settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names
2. Then press menu and press New APN
Try these I'm not sure if they will work I got them from a friend who has an AT&T Atrix but that phone is 4G. You wont lose anything from trying.

Ok thanks ill give it a shot . I appreciate you trying to help .
Tried it and it does not seem to have changed anything .
Under network mode in the mobile network settings i have 3 choices also where i can pick GSM only or CDMA only or a combo preferred one and when i set it preferred the E at the top switches to an H ?.
It says i am in HSPA mode ? under phone info when i enable this ?.
I am just accustomed to seeing the 3g symbol at the top so i am not sure whats going on.

H is 3G.
adb shove iPad2post.apk to /forum/thread
Yeah i was not sure if it was or was not .
All the screen caps i have seen thus far of people with the phone say 3G so i am still a little miffed atm .

No problem. So is your problem solved?
If what he says is true and 3g is H then i guess it is .
Id prefer to see 3g up at the top just for the sake of it but i guess ill have to live with H .

ATT now giving me HSPA+ in Atlanta?

I came from my skyrocket that had LTE so im still on the LTE plan.
i copied my APN settings from the sky rocket to the N4 and have been enjoying the slow measly 4-5mb download on GOOD days but averaging 1-3mb most days.
i have the older radio AND can enable the LTE setting and have it stick but dont need it as im currently on WCDMA preferred.
my phone status shows HSPA+ ATT when it usd to show just HSPA:10 or :15 etc what ever number it shows at the time.
now i'm getting consistent speed tests over 14mb down and 1mb up
I'm currently in the Lawrenceville/Duluth Area of Georgia if that helps
I have enclosed some screen shots.
anyone else noticing this?
its really nice to have these speeds now.
You should block out your phone number on the first screenshot lol.

HSPA:15 is H+
I'm curious to see what your APN settings are now. Noticed any obvious differences in original/default APN?
Im not even using the LTE radio lol
i just saw an email at my company that said this:
Dear all,
I know that it's been a long time coming, but hopefully you all have already experienced, and felt, the new in building wireless solution that AT&T has deployed for us. As part of the contract renewal that we did a few months ago we negotiated with AT&T to deploy, at their cost, a new in-building cell system to solve our cell phone coverage challenges. This system went fully live earlier this week, and we now have across buildings A and B full 3G, 4G and LTE coverage for AT&T with a state of the art system.
I hope that all of you enjoy the new system and extended coverage!
Thank you!

so it looks like that AT&T came out and deployed a new tower that gives us full range of coverage including 3G, 4G and LTE
since i'm NOT using LTE an band right now and on 4G that means that AT&Ts NEW towers have the capability of HSPA+ since we are using it right now but its just not deployed everywhere yet.
im spoiled now and wont want to go back home to my normal AT&T tower

For some reason, in every ROM for L7 (at least CM based), the 3G doesn't work. I still have to try 3G on stock to see if it is a problem of the ROM or the phone but after some searching, I found that I'm not the only one with this problem. I have tried going to *#*#4636#*#* menu and forcing the phone to WCDMA only but that makes me have no network service at all, only if I put it to GSM only it will work. Is there any fix for this?

Contacted my network provider, and I configured the APN correctly as they told me, still don't get 3G, only H. It's set to GSM Auto PRL since I can't set it to WCDMA preffered, so it should be getting 3G, but I can get 3G basically nowhere in my country while my old phone (Galaxy Gio) could get 3G almost anywhere in my country.. don't know what's going on on
By the way, in the Phone info (*#*#4636#*#*) menu, when I change to WCDMA preferred, it always goes back to GSM Auto (PRL) by itself. Does the problem have to do with this?

H stands for 3G HSDPA which provides theoretical speeds up to 7.2Mbps.
3G stands for 3G UMTS which provides speed to 3.6Mbps (not sure)
Its better to get H than 3G. But both stand for 3G.
Some ROMs show H, some show only 3G (like Jelly Bean Mini Project), and some show both ...
It is best to set to Auto Mode (GSM/WCDMA) or 3G preferred, rather than 3G only because in some areas where 3G isn't available, battery will drain high searching for network. In that cases, if in Auto Mode or 3G preferred, it will latch on to 2G and back to 3G when you get 3G coverage!
