Before spending $500+ on the AT&T Galaxy Note to put on Straight Talk, does anyone know the correct APN settings for everything to work? Several people on other posts say they can't get everything to work, & then other people say everything works great as long as you use the correct APN settings....but they don't actually give those APN settings. Any help would be appreciated Is it correct that I do not need to unlock the AT&T Galaxy Note for Straight Talk & that I just need to buy the Straight Talk sim card they provide for AT&T phones? Thanks!
I have a i717 on straight talk. Everything works great, mms and internet with speeds around 6Mb down / 2 Mb up. I'll get a screen shot with my latest settings for you. Very simple, couldn't be happier really. Just be careful about going over 200mb per day and 2gb per month.
You do not needed to unlock it. Mine is not unlocked, works great.

Why the limits.

People have been throttled for breaking those limits at some point. I'm not that worried though. The throttled speeds were still faster than the speeds I got on sprint.

The plan says you get throttled after 5GB a month and that might happen. I get 2/mb down 1-2mb up almost everywhere in two states(MD and PA). I did have to call and complain when it stopped going above 200k. They must put you on the $30 plan then switch back to the $45 plan while your phone is off. This will get your speeds back up instantly.

IDK if your APN is for GB, my SGH-I717 is on stock ICS updated directly from KIES and the only APN available are: Internet+MMS, Internet, or MMS. there is no default, supl, mms option available. I followed the Straight Talk instruction that came with the AT&T SIM card. When I try to send MMS file, it says file is too large, compressing.

Hello, all.
I have the GNote on the $50 5GB plan and up until today was experiencing some fairly quick data speeds. Today, however, when the Data is 'flowing' it is working well, but I am experiencing quite a few pauses in the delivery of the data.
I am completely stock using the original SIM and the original APN (AT&T PTA).
I have an AT&T Tablet right next to the Note and am not experiencing this on the tablet, which is on the Broadband APN.
Anyone else experiencing this? Thoughts? Thanks.
I am. I am on the unlimited LTE data. It works fine most of the time. But sometimes when i go to a full website it just hangs on a white screen loading the page.
Xda app sometimes wont connect on initial launch.
Some other apps like amazon wont load all product data.
Rather annoying. Especially when im only at 1300mb for this billing period.

I thought it was just unlimited plans and certainly not if you have not passed your limit. Sometimes they are adjusting the network etc which can lead to issues like you are describing.

Your data issue could have to do with an over-taxed network...

It would most likely not affect you coming in since only unlimited plans get throttled. They have not been offered for a while but some of us were grandfathered in.
Depending on where you live and how strong the network is there. Here in DFW and Texas for that matter, I must say the ATT network is top notch. LTE is reliable and fast and in most of our larger cities.

Straight Talk is the way to go, I have been using them for about 2 months (still have Verizon but wanted the Note). Straight Talk is unlimited everything (45 a month) and I have had no issues in WA State. I am running my note off the AT&T sim on their BYOD program and most custom Roms have me at HSPA+ or 3G depending on my location. My download speed has averaged out at 2.83 Mbps but certain locations like Seattle I pull 6.35 Mbps consistently, I have had bursts as high as 10 Mbps in various locations. I leave my Wifi on and when I am not flashing Roms like I am on Crack I store free Wifi everywhere I go so I am connected to AT&T hot spots and other Wifi that is free. I was very concerned coming from my Razr Maxx where I was getting 36 Mbps consistently but after 2 months I probably will not renew any of my other contracts with providers, this just works well and I buy to many phones. Some more answers to this question below.
My speed has never been capped but I have read online in various forums that Straight Talk drops you to 3G after 2Gb of HSPA+ use, but my speeds are consistent and I check everyday waiting to see if they will cap me.

So is there a straight talk store? Or do I have to order it online?
You order the sim card online ~$14. Then buy a refill card ~Target, Walmart.
Straight talk.com or what? And is there a store locally I can get the SIM card from?

No have to order online straight talk.com.
But I've been getting really slow speeds from them the last two months...they throttled me the first month on my atrix 2 and after that super slow(speed test.net app won't even work).
I think I'm gonna unlock and flash the blaze radio and use T-Mobile.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Straight Talk works very well for most people. I did receive a call from them my first month saying that I was using too much data right after I hit the 2 gig limit.
As others have said, the sim card is only available online, however they are getting ready to start a pilot program to allow them to be purchased in Walmart stores.
Another option might be T- Mobile. Walmart has a plan for $30 that gives you 100 minutes, unlimited texts, and unlimited 3g data(up to 5 gigs). You just have to flash a tmobile modem to have access to the 3g/4g

On straight talk you'll get at&t's marketing version of 4G which is really HSPA+ or slightly faster 3G. The only way to get the LTE is to be on an actual at&t plan and live in an LTE area.
My average speeds are anywhere from 2 to 6.5 Mbps where I live.

One piece of advice if you're contemplating going with Straight Talk. CS sucks, most users have come to a conclusion that under 100MB/day and 2GB/mo is the going rate. Go over any of the above, depending on the population on your general location, even under those numbers, if you're in the top 5% of users, they will throttle you, once throttled, you'd have to FB them or call their CS and be prepared to wait, one good thing is that I've read on howardforum that you'll get either a voice or text warning you of excessive use. If you continue to use excessively, you will not get any more warning, ST will shuts you off and lose your phone number. I've been using their service for about 2 months now and as long as we play by their rules, $45.00 + tax a month is pretty good. My download in Honolulu is a steady 3MPS and 900kbps uploads + or -, give a few. One other thing is prepaid, you have to refill before you run out, there's no grace period, best thing is AUTO REFILL.

Perhaps it's best to wait for T-Mobile note release and see if we get a more stable modem firmware out of it. Blaze modem is not the most stable one. I mean it is the most stable T-Mobile modem (for me) as far as tmobile modems for the note go, but it works best in weak signal areas, has poor connectivity in high signal area (weird, I know) and drains battery a lot faster even on wifi.
I wish I didn't have to order the SIM card online that's the only part that sucks.

Two AT&T notes side by side (west Chicago land)... one with a new Straight Talk SIM the other with contract AT&T LTE sim....
The ST note got just over 5 meg (4G) and the AT&T LTE note's Speedtest.net wouldn't complete :crying: unless the ST note was idle then it got just over 6 meg (LTE)
I'll have to see if the ST Note gets throttled.
I purchased an S 2 from AT&T a while back. I have sense let my plan run out and now bought a prepaid SIM card. the problem is is that now my data does not work because of the 4 G AT&T does not offer 4 G with a prepaid. there is hardly any 4 G coverage where I'm from anyways but I would at least like the 3G to work. is there a way that I can get it to work like flashing ROM or something. I'm not a total noob to this stuff I just hang out at android Forums because of my zte. thank you very much for any of your help.

If your SIM card doesnt allow it, then its not gonna be possible. No S/W can change that.
But if your SIM does allow 3g, then odds are you need proper APN settings. Google it if thats the case.

I would think that it would the 50 dollar monthly unlimited plan. from everything that I've read thus far I've got it narrowed down to something with the phone. I read about the apn settings once before and thought that that was it so I will definitely read more and do what needs to be done.thanks

By any chance are you using Straight Talk? You were vague about which prepaid service.
Straight Talk is supposed to offer an AT&T compatible sim that actually works off the AT&T network.

sorry about being so vague yes it is the AT&T prepaid service. I'm doing the apn settings as we speak so will see if they work.
I had the 50 dollar unlimited plan as well but it really is only for calling and texting. I still had to purchase a data plan and it was 25 dollars for one gig.After I got the data plan 4G started. You have to use the old cingular apn settings to get 4G but you cannot get 4G LTE on a prepaid plan. And just a heads up...when your prepaid needs to be renewed..4G data will shutdown for a few hours.

Been on straight talk for over a year now, first with a sim out of a Nokia then a sim from the BYOD program. The biggest issue you may run into is some towers don't like the Pay as you go APN. I have a tower in the next town over that sometimes just wont let any web traffic through, drive 5 miles down the road, it switches towers and suddenly i'm getting 6Mbps down and 1.5Mbps up, and it's not just my note, happened to my captivate, my Infuse, my skyrocket, and my Note. My friends on a ATT LTE APN have no issues on the same tower. Other than that, it is awesome! Can't beat 45$ for some nice service and great coverage.
I use mine for tethering to my tablet, Netflix, YouTube, and my Dish Network account. I have had a problem once where i went over about 3 gigs in one month and i got throttled, i called customer support and they un-throttled me with no hassle, great customer service.
Make sure to leave out the proxy settings when you setup the APN.

It has been advertised that with the unlimited messaging you still get picture messaging and I was able to with my captivate however since switching to the note I have not been able to download a single picture that is sent to me so I do everything by email. In the messageit just says downloading and I have yet to see something actually download. If anyone has any info on this that would be great!

You'd just need a SIM card to make it work. If the SIM card is from t mobile or a different carrier then you'd need to obtain an unlock code.
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.

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.
If you are going to do it pm me.
