Straight Talk AT&T APN help - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
So I received my micro sim with straight talk, I input all the APN settings. But I left proxy blank, because I heard they can't throttle you this way.
Everything was working fine yesterday, I had hspda+. A few hours later around when I ran CF-Root and rebooted, I've been stuck on Edge every since. Coincidental?
I know rooting doesn't have anything to do with connection but I'm sure I messed something up. I can't get it to work like before anymore.
Does anyone use straight talk with the gs iii?:crying:

Try posting in this thread and maybe sending a pm to ceo.mtcl.
He started the thread and knows his stuff about getting the intl version working on at&t.

Please help, Vibrant does not recognize sim.....[SOLVED, FOR NOW]

I have a Vibrant that i use as a back up phone since i am using the Galaxy Tab 7.7 as my everyday phone. I am using Straight Talk sim on the tab. I wanted to use the Vibrant this weekend and now i get a message when trying to set up the Straight Talk APN "Insert SIM card to access network services". The Vibrant is unlocked so i dont see that being the issue. Any suggestions, i dont want the Vibrant to have gone to waste

I had my Sim socket go bad back on my tilt bit it was after years I hope for your sake you just need a new Sim, stop by your local store and get a new one... Hope it works out for you

Finally got it to work. I re-installed Bionix rom, then rebooted phone with SIM, then just edited the apn, what inhad done was created a new apn but kept getting issues. So for now its all good.

Service issues. Annoying

I've been getting annoying service issues the past few days. I did in another state about 10 min away. And another county about 25min away. I keep leasing data. Or it will go in to emerancy calls only which makes me think its switching over to tmobile. Anyone know whats going on? Its not the area cause another att phone with me both times didn't have an issue at all! Im running surorom 7. With stock modem. Any one have an idea?
As I am typing this my phone done it. And it also likes to switch to edge a few times while in town.

I was on Omega with neak kernel and newest leak modem (***3 forgetting letters atm). Any help would be great I typically have great service and hspa+ all of the areas I travel.
Try replacing the sim card

[Q] SMS Problem

I usually don't ask questions. I solve them myself. Now I have a problem I don't know what to do. I can send SMS, use Mobile Data, make and receive calls, but I cannot receive messages. They don't show up. I am on the AT&T network. Everything worked until one night, it just stopped working. Couldn't get texts. Being a teenager, that is problematic for me XD. I have been to two AT&T stores (local and corporate). They wouldn't help me since it wasn't a branded AT&T phone. Wow. They take the money no questions asked. The part that confuses me is. I didn't do anything to my phone the night it stopped working. Anyone have any thoughts.
-Done so far= Flashed to stock, factory reset multiple times, checked message center #

So after a week same problem. Everything just stopped. This really pisses me off since I can't use my S3. I am back on my Captivate for the time being and it sucks now that I have experienced the S3. Anyone have any ideas what it is?

The only things I can think of is, have you got another messaging app messing things up, or in the messaging settings there's a spam settings, have you checked that?
Sorry if you have already checked these
Checked it and its off. I don't have or use anything but the stock SMS app.

I think as default the spam settings is on, at least mines on. Might be worth a try.
Also did you restore your old messages when you went back to stock, if so maybe try deleting all messages, clear data in app manager. Back up your messages before deleting though
Yeah i deleted everything. Flashed stock and tried. Nothing. It makes me mad that i cant use my phone.

just to clarify - the new sim card worked for a week or so on your S3 and stopped working. while the same sim card(with an adapter) works on your captivate ?
i want to figure out what's the source of your problem.
other thing - if i understand you correctly you went to AT&T to fix your phone. i suggest go to AT&T center or call their support cause every company has a number for checking sms transportation and see in what stage it failed. it's just sending a code to a certain number and you should get the desired info.
i really don't think it's a software problem
Here are the details. One night i noticed i wasnt getting text from a specific someone and it was weird. Within the next couple of days i went to AT&T store. Got a new micro sim for my S3, didnt work... Got a regular sim and put it into a old phone they had lying around and it worked. I then had them cut it down to micro sim and put it into my S3. Worked for about a week and stopped again. Got a new regular sim and put it into my Captivate and it worked. So im on that until i have it fixed.
Spam off
Sms center number right.

If I were you, I would try with another operator's sim card to figure out if the problem is on att network or the phone. Maybe get one of those pay-as-you-go/prepaid plans and try to receive an sms- if it works, then the problem is on att's network
Thanks i will see if one of my friends will let me.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
When you put your sim in your Captivate did all the missed messages come through on the Captivate. If they did then I would say it's an issue on the S3, if not then it's probably an at&t issue
All of them came through yes. But why would it not work on the S3. And randomly? There was another guy on the forums that had the same problem.

Getting the i777 to work on t-mo

I am a bit confussed. Trying to get a straight talk s2 to work on t-mo for my brother. Rooted and running the collective rom on the phone. popping his t-mo card in the phone does not bring up a sim locked message, and I get no carrier signal. What do I need to do to get voice signal. does data work on this with a t-mo card? Do I tell him to move on?
Thanks

Root, Roms and Straight Talk

Any one knows if rooting and flashing roms will mess the service on a AT&T Mega(SGH-I527) flashed on Straight Talk?. if not, what rom would be the best one?.
Thanks.
Hello!!!, anyone?????????
there are no roms on the at&t version yet
The phone is not flashed to straight talk, it is neither unlocked. Your phone is most likely an AT&T version and straight talk uses AT&T towers so the phone will automatically run their network, no flashing networks.
To answer your question rooting your phone will be like rooting a regular AT&T phone as you have nothing flashed on it.

correct.. and Straight Talk, Walmart Family, Net 10 etc sim cards....
so.. no flashing neccessary...
only different APN settings needed.
Hopefully your Mega will automatically find the correct APN settings of the particular sim card that you put in before boot up..
If it doesn't work for any particular sim, then you'll have to find the APN settings and create one that will work with any given sim
good luck.

It's really working.
don't go over your 2.5gb data cap.
I always thought I was invincible to the cap because I had a iPhone 4 and the speed always seemed the same. Well I got my galaxy mega on monday and by wednesday I was at 4.1gb. It was because I had downloaded Asphalt 8 and a few more games using the incredibly surprisingly fast straight talk 4g. Well then my internet completely disappeared. I know straight talk had nothing to do with this. But my apn settings deleted itself. I don't know why haha. But anyway I called straight talk saying I couldn't find the correct apn setting they helped me get the correct one and then I asked her if she thought if I used to much it would go over ( I didn't want to say I went over) She then said oh wail actually you already have seemed to exceed the cap. She said I should experience slower data. She then proceeded to tell me that once the 2.5 gb cap is passed that the internet slows down to 2g? I asked her if it was edge and she said no 2g.
I plan on switching to simple mobile within the next two days.

Look at Solavie. $39 for the first 2 months and then $49. Unlimited talk, text and data. No cap.
