APNs are carrier specific not phone specific so they are all appropriate for any data enabled phone.
I finally searched for AT&T 3g APN's on Google. It works now, but my phone shows Edge connection. It sucks!

Hey sholsten,
Coming into this conversation a bit late, but thought I'd drop a recommendation (you may have already checked this) - if this is like other dual sim phones, a lot of them have one SIM slot that supports the highest data capability of the phone (3G in this case) and the other SIM slot does only 2G. Could it be your SIM is in the 2G only one?
Would love to know if this resolves the issue, I'm looking at this phone for my Dad who is on AT&T in the US. Thanks
Only one sim can use wcdma/3g the other will be on 2g/gsm.
Any of the 2 sim can use the 3g network, be it your primary or secondary sim, using it for more than 3 months now and very happy with it.

Just picked up a used Galaxy Note 1717(for $240),popped in my At&t 4g simcard which works fine on my Atrix 2,try to use the internet and I get nothing.What gives?
I have the At&t 3gb a month plan and it works when I pop the sim back in my Atrix.
Any ideas?
Also,I have packet data enabled which I read is the way to turn on data.
You probably need a new sim card, they change after a while

oh darn,didnt know that.i hate going to the att store.
thanks for the tip.
Hogwash!! Your Note will work with your Sim card. I am using a 6 year old SIM in my I717R. Here is your issue. You say you have a 4G SIM card. The APN of the Note is set up to use the LTE APN. You will have to change your APN to the 4G APN. You can google that APN. But it would be better for you to contact ATT and get an LTE SIM anyways since it will not cost you anymore for the same plan.

I'm wondering if I'm the first guy on earth experiencing this problem.
I got an AT&T unlocked HTC One (M7) in the US and brought it with me to Brazil. I introduced the SIM card in it and it worked perfectly for phone calls. However, I can't get the internet access through the network. Brazil only works with 3G at the moment.
I called HTC and they told me to dial *#*#4636#*#* and change the settings for the network under "set preferred network". They told me there would be no guarantee this would work, but I should try.
I tried all the options from WCDMA, CDMA, GSM Only and so on and still could not get the mobile data access.
Right now, internet works only with Wi-Fi. So, he said that I could try finding help on XDA Developers.
So, is there anyone who knows what I should do next?
I wonder if rooting would resolve it, but it seems pretty much a device problem.

Make sure you have a 4G sim and make sure you are in a 4G area
But also, are youtalking about hspa+ or LTE?

Reply [Q] Using 3G network instead of 4G on HTC One
I'm not in a 4G area. Only 3G.
That's why I need to change the settings. I tried also setting the APN settings and nothing so far...

take the same sim card in some local 3g andorid phone in brazil and try again .to make sure your sim card support 3g network , and you say you can not access network by your phone. i doubt if you have a data plan .maybe you should take a phone call to your carrier to check the data plan of your sim card
Thanks for the tips. I solved my problem by calling the provider. It was ANP setting issue. I wasn't getting it right the way it was supposed to.
Thanks again!

how can i stay on 3G only instead of 4G?

4G is hspa+ ... it is a faster form of 3g but still it's 3g
4G and 4GLTE are not the same thing
I just killed my Nexus and I'm not eligible for a discount with Verizon until 8/22. I'm looking at the S4, full price in my case, I guess (sigh!) Does anyone know if the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 comes with GSM unlocked? (I remember reading that the Verizon iPhone 5 does and can be used abroad by simply swapping a local SIM card.)
During my trial purchase on the Verizon website, it asked me if I wanted to keep the current SIM number (yes), and later if I wanted the phone implemented for worldwide GSM (do you think they mean through their own services, hence locked GSM, or open to any carrier abroad)?
Thanks for the input.

All you have to do is give them a call and let em know you will be traveling abroad, they will adjust your plan accordingly. I dunno if the S4 is global capable though, hardware wise.... Make sure you call them before using it abroad, failure to do so will most likely result in a massive roaming bill....
If you look on the hardware specs, it says its a Global Ready phone on Verizon's website. It has GSM also. I think it is possbile to put in a att SIM and go. Don't hold me to it though

Yeah, I believe it's FCC required because of auction rules for the 700mhz band Verizon LTE is using.
That said, you may still need root to enable new APNs.

I appreciate if you show screenshot of APN setting. if possible also network screenshot.
For now all I know is you can get WorldWide plan from verizon and you basically will be paying to verizon but you will use that other carrier as an atena... Cool, but it's VERY EXPENSIVE. Calls internet everything. Is there a way to somewhat hack sgs 4 verizon to use it internationally without needing that stupid expensive plan.
The SiMs are very cheap and the phone plans are very cheap in Europe, sometimes it's even more profitable to buy an unlocked phone just to travel.
So, does anyone know yet how to hack it ? There was a way like that on SGS 3.
I upgraded on Verizon and then traveled to Europe on the same day. All was working well with Verizon in the US. I then put in a sim card I bought when I arrived, and it worked for calling as soon as it started (no changes required). The add apn setting was greyed out, but it worked anyway. I put in the appropriate apn settings and it now does mobile data, voice, and sms. I dont know about MMS, yet.
I did all this without root access, but I went ahead and did the root procedure this morning.
I have to go to another country in 2 weeks, and I may get a different sim. If so, I will update after that.
I do have a persistant warning in the status bar telling me I am using a non-Verizon sim, but no other ill effects.

Hey, thanks for info. Are you using Verizons World Data plan ? If not, when you come back to US is it possible that you will get a pretty large bill for using outside of US ? What type of internet are you recieving, 3g, HSPA or maybe Edge ? What countries have you tried this in yet ?
Also where did you get the phone, pre order or in store?
Thank you, I'm asking so many questions because I really wanted to get an upgrade but I will be flying to Europe for this whole summer and I thought it wouldnt worth it right now.
No, I am not using Verizon's plan (as far as I know). I have a local prepaid sim and phone number with prepaid data on a gsm network (T-Mobile) and so I do not receive calls on my US Verizon number - they go straight to Google voice answering service. I get a H+ symbol for data when I am in an area with good reception, and 3g elsewhere. So far, I have only tried it around Berlin.
I bought the phone in the store.

I am asking because i need to know if it will work on a country where the 3g frequency is 2100mhz.
So I am currently in possession of a Verizon branded S6 edge+ which I am planning to use with TMo, as far as the XDA community I've seen this subsection as well as subsections for the different carries ex. TMo S6 edge+, Verizon S6 edge+ etc I was wondering what the difference was, also was wondering which ssection, my guess is the Verizon subsection as the phone's innards are specific to Verizon's version but I'm just asking before I get Into the rooting (rather be safe than sorry)
Also has any one else done this? Is there any discrepancy with the signal or anything else?
Any help would greatly be appreciated, thanks

You can't root the Verizon variant of the Edge +. It's impossible. KNOX will hard brick the phone if it detects the /system partition is modified in any way.

working absolutely fine.
Only issue is Verizon S6 edge+ doesn't not use Band 12 which TMobile uses.
So in other words, if you using DATA and phone call comes in, you will loose data, once phone call drop your data is back again.
and you can use 4G not LTE on tmobile network.
Thats my experience.
Thanks,

Right now I have AOJ2. The updates for me anyways, have to be done manually. I get both wifi and t-mobile 4G service. What t-mobile APN are you using? I have the fast.t-mobile.com one set.
Does the tmobile sim your using work in any other phones for tmobile or any other. You may need to reactivate the tmobile sim because all verizon phones come with the gsm part unlocked for voice from Verizon so If the sim is valid it should work on voice right away.
Check your advanced calling settings. Im on vzw so i use the advanced calling option for hd voice and hd video over 4g lte so you might have to disable that. Also is the sim card your using work in tmobile lte service or just 3g?
To date has anyone figured out a way to root the Verizon variant of the s6 edge+? I'm currently using on net10 with android 5.1.1

It's impossible. KNOX prevents root. Locked bootloader. Even if you enable "OEM Unlock" in developer options, it still bricks the device and tells you that you warranty is void and you need to buy a new phone.

Hello, I just got p9000 yesterday and i updated to latest release. But I can't seem to get 4g connectivity nowhere even though it supports LTE in my area. So does anyone have fix for this.
Swap the SIM slots and put the SIM card in the other slot just for testing purposes.
Do you have a data connection in general? So you get edge and 3G but only LTE is not possible?
