So I unlocked my Vibrant and found out I can't open picture messages and can't send them. I also can't get 3g or at least edge enabled either. I have been told to google AT&T's APN settings to enable both mms and 3g. I have found only the settings that I have which obviously don't work for me.
So can anyone care to explain why I can't enable mms and 3g/edge on my phone?
OR
Help me figure out how to enable both things on my phone? Pretty please?
Here are my default settings

Also when I dial *#2263# it says RAT Selection Option is restricted !
Idk if that helps
And also when I dial *#*#4636#*#* it says my gprs service is disconnected
I think you might need to enable the 850 band, its in one of the *#*# settings or w/e.. I've done it before but you could probably search to find that.
EDIT:
I found this
Open Dialer
Enter *#2263#
select COMBI BAND select WCDMA 850
hit MENU > select back > the Back on the Phone
reboot.
Yes when Idial that it says ita restricted
I don't think there is anything like this for the Moto X on here or I didn't see it.
The goal is to increase you mobile data speeds.
*Disclaimer*
I don't take responsibility for anyone ruining there data settings or if you speeds are so fast you start having addictions and run up your bill.
First, lets explain what the APN is. It is the Access Point Name. Its function is basically a gateway between your phone, the carrier, and the inter web.
There are a few ways to accomplish this. One is adding the APN in your settings, but I had(and read other people too) where the stock ATT APN overrides the one you create.
Option 1) Adding a APN in Settings.
Go to Settings>Under Wireless & Networks click More>Mobile Network>Access Point Names>Click the Plus
Some info on these settings. If there is nothing in the field below, leave blank. Also if the MMS Port set as 80 causes issues, then use 8080.
The Bearer settings will be a hit or miss if it helps you. eHRPD is for CDMA and is just a software tweak used by verizon to help hand off between CDMA and LTE a few years ago. Sprint users may benefit from this since they are rolling out there LTE.

MMSC: https://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310

Authentication type: none
APN type:default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hipri,internet
APN Protocol:
APN Roaming Protocol:
APN enable/disable:
Bearer: Default is unspecified, but you can try LTE if you are on GSM. CDMA can use the eHRPD
MVNO Type:
Click on the menu and save. Click the radio button to select the APN, Reboot your phone, and check the APN to see if it is still checked. If it isn't then use option 2.
Option 2) Removing the APN's and creating one
You will need Root for this to work. 4.4 changed some write settings for 3rd party apps. They have to be installed in the system/priv-app/ folder for this to work.
Either google for APN Backup & Restore or install it from the Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.APNBackupRestore
Step 1) Setup APN App
Option A: If you downloaded the APK.
Then using a file explorer move the apk to system/priv-app/ and install it.
Option B: If you installed it from the Playstore.
Go to Data/App/ and find com.riteshsahu.APN.apk and copy it to your sdcard.
Next using whatever you use to unstall apps, uninstall the APN app.
Then move the apk from the sdcard to system/priv-app/ and install.
I set the permissions to rwx r-x r-x.
Step 2) Backing Up & Deleting Current APNs
Open the app and click the menu button.
The last option is to disable the ICS Check.
Now click on the first options, Backup APNs. A pop up will come up to save the file. Press ok.
If you get a error about the app can't write to the APN settings, then the apk is not installed properly.
Click on the Delete APNs button
A popup will appear warning about deleting them, click ok
Until you reenter a new APN, you will not have Data, SMS, MMS service
Step 3) Install Anycut
Anycut is a app that makes shortcuts. In this case to the Programming menu
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spring.bird.anycut
After you install the app. Do the following
Launch the app and click the button that says new shortbut
Click on Activity
Scroll down till you find the Programming Menu. Click it and click ok to the popup
NOTE: There are 2 listed. Select the 2nd one first. If that doesn't work, then redo the steps and select the 1st one.
Step 4) Create a new APN Via Programming Menu
Click the shortcut that Anycut made
Scroll down to 13 APN Controls. Click APN Config Edit. You should see no APNs listed
Click on the menu and select New APN
Enter the same APN settings from above
There is a setting that you have access to that isn't in the settings option APN. Under the APN Protocol you can select IPv4, IPv6,IPv4/IPv6. From what I read this is experimental and may not improve anything, but tmobile customers may find this working.

I normally would get 5-8 Mbps at my house. With this APN Setup, I get 12-16. I have 2 bars normally. I drove to Walmart after doing this and I got 41Mb down and 13Mb up with full service.
I will add in any credits later,
This is what it did for me. The first screenshot is showing the 41(full service as you notice) then I reverted back to original apn. Those are normal at my house. The last 2 are at my school.

You would have to change the mcc and mcn to your country and network provider.
Actually every outside of att would have to use this. This is the site for worldwide lookup.

This wiki page will tell the frequency it supports

hey cart!
This is from a Austrailian site. http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1663451
There are alot of sites that have different setups for each carrier, but not many that explain what they mean. Here are some of them.
The FOTA and MMS are obvious. trying to find info on the admin and internet.
1. Dial Up Network (TYPE_MOBILE_DUN)
This is really old but might be used for some very old networks. Networking Bridge so that the carrier is aware of DUN traffic. It may coexist with default data connections.
3. High Priority Mobile data {TYPE_MOBILE_HIPRI}
A High Priority Mobile data connection. This connection is typically the same as {TYPE_MOBILE} but the routing setup is different. Only requesting processes will have access to the Mobile DNS servers and only IP’s explicitly requested via {@link #requestRouteToHost} will route over this interface if a default route exists.
Below are the APN TYPES that you set in the APN config on your phone.
1. Default (TYPE_MOBILE)
The Default Mobile data connection. When active, all data traffic will use this connection by default. Should not coexist with other default connections.
3. supl (TYPE_MOBILE_SUPL);
A Secure User Plane Location specific Mobile data connection. This connection may be the same as {TYPE_MOBILE} but it may be different. This is used by applications needing to talk to the carrier’s Secure User Plane Location servers for help locating the device

Hey, I got a Galaxy s4 att unlocked run Android 4.4.2. I use straight talk and I need to change the MNC which is set to 260 as a default for some reason. When I change it from 260 to 410 and save the apn, the apn disappears. I've don't it over and over and it keeps on disappearing as soon as i change MNC and save it. Previous owner told me its unlocked. Does anyone know about this issue?
Have someone encountered any difficulties while setting up the 3G connection on your carrier? Because when I manually set my APN it dose`t do anything. I don`t know why. I`ve tried everything I know of course the carrier says that is my phone`s fault.
Here are the settings that they have emailed me.
