ST runs on the t-mobile network. You need to flash a compatible modem.
Dude I'm on st running the latest att modem and check these out.

Straight talk runs on either. Depends on your area. You're most likely at&t seeing as 90% of straight talk is.
Straight Talk leases their services. The reason it's slow, it's NOT hspa. It's 3G and that's most likely the best you'll get.

OP, are you being throttled? Seems ST possibly throttles on 100MB a day and 2GB a month. That would leave you with H+ and horrible speeds. Contact ST and ask them to reset your network.
They used to throttle me ALL THE TIME! Good price but **** service. Went back to AT&T so I can use MY data how I pay to use it, not how they want me to.

Opps. My bad. I was thinking SimpleMobile.
Have you input the straight talk APN?
At any rate I read somewhere else online that it can also depends on the radio you have which I don't know much about I do know about rooting and flashing custom roms what I have never done tho is changed out radios or kernels on on that site somebody said something about UCl F 2 I have looked online and have not been able to find a downloadable 1

Flashing a modem is easier than flashing a rom. Get the modem.bin on your sd card, boot into recovery, flash the modem.bin using CWM/TWRP (no wiping needed), reboot, check for correct APN settings (some roms don't include APN settings).
Im sorry bear with me ranger but can u go a li little more in depth for me where do I get that modem. bin
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
If you have really slow speeds then you are either being throttled or you are not filling in the APN correctly. Does not sound like a modem issue. What speed does your notification bar show you connected as? How about settings > about phone > status >Mobile Network Type: ?

In the first post of the linked thread you will find the download link for the UCLF2 modem and the recommended ST APN settings.
You may be being throttled as mentioned

How about a screenshot of the status page in settings? APN looks good. Speed test sure looks like you are throttled. For chit and giggles try removing the proxy and port from the APN and see what you get. Not the MMS proxy and port.

AT&T removed it for reasons I listed in a past post if I am not mistaken. I can rewrite the post later, just in a rush to head off to work
Puts me into service mode, but no options in there - Just says "RAT Selection option is restricted."
My Sprint S3 ran for 20+ hours on 3G without any issues, but since their data is so aweful we went to AT&T and on 4G lte we get 8 hours if we are lucky.
I guess the only other option is to flash a Canadian modem .

Yes, my wife & I have been having issues now for 7 to 10 days. They keep telling me all is well with our accounts and the local tower. Go to the Straight Talk forums and you'll see that a bunch are having problems. It's to be enough enough to make me want to go back to Simple Mobile and save $5 a month but only have 2G.
If we flash the tmobile radio we should get 4g on their service, shouldn't we with the Note? Simple mobile that is, sorry if that wasn't clear.

The trouble with Simple Mobile is that GSM phones only get 2G. That's why I switched over to Straight Talk.

The data connection is back
I have been experiencing some intermittent connection with Straight Talk (AT&T sim card) in the last week, but it looks like the service back today. I can connect to internet normally now.
Keep in mind that Straight Talk does throttle data if you are a heavy user. They will deny it through and through but it's very true. I was with them for quite some time and all was well until my speeds began to average at about 120-200 kbps. And keep in mind that I'm not even a heavy user. I called them multiple times and they denied that anything was wrong with my account but I'm not stupid. I was getting speeds around 4-5 mbps in my house and all of the sudden I'm getting speeds that resemble dial up speeds. Luckily enough, I use Google Voice so I didn't have to worry about losing my number so I decided to try out H2O. Dear Lord has that been a nightmare. I paid 60 bucks for 2 gigs and unlimited talk and text and wouldn't you know, I began being throttled after I used about 300 mbs. So here I am with a whole month left getting speeds at about 150 kbps. I tried getting a hold of them but they didn't pick up and I sat on hold for about 45 minutes. I've gone back to at&t and my advice for all of you would be to stay away from these scams. At&t will let you bring your own phone in and in that respect you won't have to sign a contract. You might be paying a bit more, but at least you're getting what you pay for...

I've got an i777 and i'm having the exact same problems. I've called straight talk a few times on the issue and well they just pretend there is no issue. data will disappear completely for no reason and then come back when it feels like it. I just discovered that forcing the phone to use the edge network restores data connection while connected to edge, but the moment I go back to HSPA the data quits working. from watching the data symbol try to jump from 3G to H+ I notice it just gets stuck at H. My phone will now normally sit with H displayed insread of 3G (data dormant) or H+ (when my using the data connection). This leads me to believe its a fast dormancy issue with them, or maybe i'm wrong. However, from looking over at the straighttalk forums, it appears several are having problems and straight talk isn't doing anything about it. Is this something we could file a complaint with the BBB over?
Ours straightened up Monday. It been good all week. Finally!!!
I gotta know if its worth switching over.

I'm reading a lot of data issues with ST. Are you using an ATT Note i717? Mine is rooted with a JB rom.
Soft cap is ~2GB for data on At&t compatible sim card. Not sure about T-Mobile compatible sim card, but I think I remember reading on HoFo that it was around 5 gigs.
I received a call from them when I hit 2.1, but I haven't hit that mark since.
If Tmo existed in IA, I would switch to the $30 prepaid since I hardly talk, and when I do, I generally use GV

I was with a few friends who have iPhone 5's and we all downloaded speedtest.net and ran them. One friend on sprint did 6mbps I did 16mbps... That's about the norm for me. And my friend on att did 52mbps. We were all blown away. Now I'm sure we were right next to his tower. So I started digging and cannot figure out anything about the antenna settings I'm supposed to use to get the best speed. I'm running the energy ice Rom. But has anyone had any boost in speed while playing with different settings? Or any web links I can read to try some stuff out for myself.
