Trying to set up my new X10 mini pro for service on ATT USA. Running into some setup snags.
Have already rooted!
Model is U20i
Have network mode set to GSM / WCDMA preferred
Network operators setting has ATT and ATT DR available. WILL NOT let me select ATT only DR - if I try ATT it says "your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
How do I get off of ATT DR and onto ATT?
Under APN I put in:
name - att
apn - wap.cingular
proxy - wireless.cingualar.com
port - 80
username - not set
password - not set
server - not set
mmsc - http://mmsc.cingular.com
mms proxy - wireless.cingular.com
mms port - 80
mcc - 310
mnc - 410
apn type - not set
Should I be worrying about data roaming? Im fairly certain thats what the DR in att dr stands for. I understand if 3G isnt possible. But data roaming.yikes.
Have you checked what operator the sim gives you in a 2G only phone? You sadly wont be able to get 3G, you'd have to track down a u20a variant for that.
I could not find an answer using search, so my apologies if this was previously answered.
I just purchased an unlocked SGSII (International version) and wondering if anyone had success getting it working with AT&T? I tried using a SIM from my Galaxy S/Captivate phone and changed the bands to 850/1900 in ServiceMode to no avail.
Can someone post working settings for phone and data use? Also, do I need to call AT&T to "activate" my new phone?
You must have done some pretty ****ty searches. I typed in Galaxy S II AT&T APN and this is what I got:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109983
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175006
I added the APN like the posts you referenced, but the S2 still says GPRS and mobile network state 'Connecting'. My captivate just uses the SIM APN settings and gets UMTS/HSDPA.
Mobile network settings:
Use packet data - Enabled
Network mode - GSM/WCDMA (Auto)
Access Points -
Name: AT&T
APN: phone
MMSC: mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN type: internet+mms
Sorry I should have been more descriptive in my original post. Baseband version is XXKH3 and I tried Cognition ROM to see if a different ROM/modem would help. Someone lead me to the Service Mode menu (*#*#197328640#*#*) to try changing Debug>Phone Control>Network Control>Band Selection from Automatic to just the AT&T frequencies, but that does not change the status.
Please excuse the noobness. Any ideas? Thanks!
Just an update.. it seems that the "International" version I'm using is the Korean/Olleh branded model (SHW-M250K). A couple of threads mentioned that it only works single (900) or dual band (900/2100) UMTS, which would explain why it is only connecting via GPRS.

Is there anyway I can enable or unlock those frequencies? Otherwise, I'll have to return the phone since it does not work on AT&T 3G.
I have tmobile when inserted the simcard in my z2 I've noticed that I'm not getting any internet connection so i went to Setting/wireless and networks/internet setting and downloaded all the files then I went to mobile netword and changed it to 4G Tmobile, starting that day I keep losing connection every time I have to go to mobile network and change it manually although it's set on automatic, most of teh times 4g doesn't work and I have to set it to 3g... it's really annoying
In your dial pad type in *#*#info#*#* (numbers for info)
Go to phone info
Scroll down
Select prefered network mode
Select LTE or an option for local with
Go back to your network settings and see if 4G shows up
If not change your mode back to what it was before and call tmobile because they may have to sort some issues out for you

go to your network settings, when tmobile USA shows up with 4G click it to register, once thats done, go back a menu and click on network mode and change it to LTE/HSPDA/GSM (or what ever bands are used in USA)
you should have data connection but 4G depends on how good Tmobile USA Coverage is
You may need to call TMo and ask them to do whatever they do in the backend to reset the phone to network connection. Another thing is to look at TMo support site for the correct APN settings. In my case, data was perfect but MMS would not work because the phone settings were incorrect. Basically, call TMo. They will even email you the settings.
One last thing. Try airplane mode off then on and see it that helps.

One thing I would do, is to call T-Mobile and register the IMEI so they can provision the unit. The settings on their end may have something which is preventing it to connect to it based on a previous phone's capabilities.
-----------------
I had something similar similar but it was with AT&T. In my case, it would not connect to LTE at all as it would stick on HPSA. This was because I had a S3 (UK version), which was only capable of HSPA+, and I had registered the IMEI with them prior.
I had a lot of problems getting my Z2 to work on T-Mobile as well. I finally used the following settings to get everything to work.
Create 2 APNs, the first should have the Following Settings:
Name: T-Mobile
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy: 216.155.165.050
Port: 8080
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/
MMS proxy: 216.155.165.50
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: defaul,supl,admin,dun,mms
APN Protocol: IPv4
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4
Now create a second APN with the following settings:
Name: T-Mobile GPRS
APN: epc.tmobile.com
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Protocol: IPv4
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4
With both of those created, go to your list of APNs and make sure your first one (T-Mobile) is selected.
These settings fixed my problems, hope you get it worked out.

I had a similar issue, is that why my phone doesn't have signal with tmobile cause I have to register the IMEI?

It is likely, make sure the internet/mms settings are downloaded too.
Once the IMEI is registered, they will able to see what phone it is and enable the proper features which the phone is capable of.
I heard it's best to let them know as the IMEI as well because they could flag the unauthorized phones and reject it from being connected the carrier.
Hi all I need help. I had straight talk working on my Galaxy Note 1717 and then all of a sudden it stopped working altogether. I do nto know what to do. I tried resetting APN but it now wont let me.
Any help would be appreciated right away.
Thanks so much
Try entering APN settings manually. Create a new one with these settings.

APN type: default,supl,mms
APN Protocol: Leave it to the Default one
For some reason it wont let me change the APN settings. That is part of the issue. It was like it worked for a day and then stopped. Strange.
So you tried adding a new one, and it won't let you? There's a default one you won't be able to change.
Okay I figured out how to do the apn. HA HA! new at this. I did as you said and put in those apn settings in my phone and it is not working. Argh!

Well I'm glad you figured out how to enter a new APN. Sorry it didn't fix your issue though.
Once you added the APN, did you save it, then select it so the lil dot next to it is green? You probably did but I'm asking to make sure. Sometimes rebooting and double checking the new APN is still selected helps.
Did you install any apps or make modifications in any way prior to your service issue?
One final dumb question for you. Are you sure your bill has been paid up to date? Just checking.
Is it possible that you can try your SIM card in a friends device to eliminate the possibility of a bad SIM card?

First off the sim card works it has been tested, I went to update but it said it was up to date. I have a prepaid st card which I hace 30 days left. Now. yes I saved it and set it the apn. my phone says, " Not provisioned that is crazy!! Argh this is a pain.
Update! Okay I took my phone into a repair shop with the active sim. The phone was fine and should of worked with the active sim. They tried the active sim in another phone they had and it did not work. The sim was a bran new sim card and it was the second st sim I had been through. So something is very strange it is the weirdest thing why the phone is not working on the sim cards. I called Straight talk and they told me I had to call after 24 hours because it can take up to that time for the service to be configured on the phone. I was ticked because it has never taken that long for a sm to activate.. So I am sooooo tired of this company and all these sim issues. So I am thinking of switching companies now.
here are the apn settings i use:
Name Straight Talk
APN tfdata
Port 80
MMSC http://mms-tf.net
MMS Proxy mms3.tracfone.com
MMS Port 80
MCC 310
MNC 410
APN Type default,mms,supl
APN Protocol IPv4
APN Enabled
Bearer Unspecified

So lets see.. mms works for you... is staright talk a tmo mvno? or are you using an ST AT&T sim? Do they still sell them, or did that opportunity pass? Are you using a tmo modem? what speeds do you get?

mms works.
i'm using the at&t sim.
it's still listed on the straight talk website.
the speed varies from mid teen to mid thirty mbps d/l.
Hello;
first: sorry for the (provabilly) dumb question...
when I check APN list on my phone, depending on the simcard I use, I see the APNS for that specific carrier.
I understand this is detected by the MCC MNC codes on the simcard.
my question is... in this list of apns, some carriers have more than one APN for the same mnc mcc codes, (and same apn type default,supl)...
so how do the phone chose the right one from the list? or just take one randomply as long as MNC MCC matches?
thanks!
