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.

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.

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?

Hi, I had T-Mobile up until a day ago when I finally got fed up with the slow EDGE speeds, so decided to go GoPhone (ATT).
However when I plug in the SIM card it says "Emergency calls only" and when trying to select the network manually it says "Unable to select network, try later". I'm running Cognition S2 1.51.
Help?
Thanks!

Where did you get the SIM card from? If you took the card from a $10 gophone phone, then it won't work. Those SIMs only work in the gophones I think. You need to get a regular SIM card from an ATT store. Tell them the card you have is broken and need a new one. Or get one on ebay for a dollar.
If you do go in a store, do not bring your phone and show them it.
Also, gophone might throttle your speeds. If you want faster speeds for $10 more, then try h2o wireless. They have a $60 for unlimited everything (there still is a data cap, not sure how much though) plan and a $50/mo talk, text, and 250mb of data plan. I don't think they throttle speeds. Also h2o wireless uses the att network, so you are getting the same service.
I have a go phone data plan that I can't get to work with this phone.
I went to a AT&T store and they said it should be working. They could not fix it and said to call 611. Help me too?
Thank's

Okay so I managed to make it work by flashing different MODEM on the phone. It now successfully connects to the network, but I have no data of any kind. I'll try the parameters above and see if it works. Thanks
EDIT: those settings were already active, still no data. Again, help?

Thank you for the help and it worked. I get h+/3g now and don't need wifi.
I've done some searching and didn't happen to run across anyone that was having a similar problem. Originally, I thought this might be a StraightTalk/Verizon issue, but I've confirmed that one of my family members with ST T-Mobile can text with Verizon folks just fine. So let me dive into the details...
I've had my StraightTalk T-Mobile sim card for about a week now. I activated it without any problems, set up the APN and everything seemed to be working just fine. I've been texting with a few family members and some co-workers without issues. My data and voice calls are all working fine as well.
I went to text a friend that has Verizon post paid service and he never got my text. So I sent a few more without success, then tried to text my own Verizon number (since my account is still active for the moment) and I never received my own text either. He sent me a text message that I received just fine though, but again he didn't get my response. Just to further test, I send an MMS message to myself and my friend on Verizon and that came through just fine, so it appears that all texting capabilities work with the following carriers (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, ST T-Mobile) with the exception of regular SMS to Verizon.
Here are my APN settings:
Name: StraightTalk T-Mobile
APN: wap.tracfone
Proxy: Not set
Port: 8080
Username: Not set
Password: Not set

About the phone... I purchased an AT&T Note (sgh-i717) and unlocked it myself. The unlock was successful but I was only getting edge data since T-Mobile has re-farmed the towers in my area yet. So, I installed CWM and flashed the Blaze4G radios. I'm now getting consistent signal and H+ speed (4-8 mbps avg, 14 mbps peak). The only other thing I had to change was that my phone number wasn't showing up in the About Phone -> Status section, so I went into the dialer -> Settings -> Additional Settings -> My Phone Number and set it there in the format of xxx-xxx-xxxx. I also just flashed the T-Mobile VKL1 radio as well but no change in my sms issue.
I'm a bit lost at this point on why everything else would work except for sending sms to Verizon but yet I can receive them from Verizon just fine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Texts aren't immediate when the network is busy. Sometimes the delay can be several hours.
None of my Verizon messages are ever delivered, some from 3-4 days ago. I called Straight Talk tech support and they are tracing some of my messages. One of the things they thing might be wrong is the message center number that is configured in my phone but they didn't want to change it until after they could do further research.
Update: Confirmed the smsc is correct, so that doesn't appear to be the issue.
Just a follow up in case anyone else ever had an issue similar... a T-Mobile technician called me today, they found out Verizon had blocked my cell phone number from their network. After the tech got the ban lifted, texting is working just fine.

You'll want to flash the T-Mobile ROM in the development section. Follow the instructions carefully.

Update: Straight Talk's website now tells you the apn setting you should be using, to do this visit the link at the bottom of this post and follow the directions. The apn settings in this post should be the settings all new users are assigned, checking the link would tell you for sure though.
Just a heads up, if you're using Straight Talk's BYOP sim card and your data quit working, you may have been transitioned to new apn settings. I read about it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2310215 in the Nexus 4 forums.
It seems users there lost all mobile data connectivity after their service renewed. The new apn settings seemed to have restored their data connectivity. I suggest making a second apn setting on your phone with the new settings I've posted below. The reason why I suggest a second apn is so you can easily switch between apns if you lose data connectivity on the new apn, I see it as an easy troubleshooting step down the road.
Here is the new apn
Name: Straight Talk
APN: tfdata
Port: 80
MMSC: http://mms-tf.net
MMS Proxy: mms3.tracfone.com

Straight Talk now let's you type in your phone number on their website to look up which apn settings you should be using, it can be found here

I tried this too on my Google Nexus 4 because the results from my speedtests have been very poor [pic attached].
Unfortunately for me, the new APN settings are not working. In the mean time, I have placed a support ticket with Straight Talk to fix this issue.

Probably because you need the new LTE sim card from ST, which only recently came out; that is if your hardware supports it, as creepy stated.

From what I've gathered, there are two different At&t apn settings for straight talk's byop sim card, either att.mvno or tfdata. I use to be on att.mvno for my apn, but when I changed to their lte sim card, my apn settings became tfdata.
I'm not sure cdma phones have programmable apn settings.

I have had problems sending mms on the i777 on non-stock based roms such as cm. I had better luck getting mms to go if I disconnected from wifi and waiting for the phone to establish a data connection before sending the mms. I never had much luck with toggling airplane mode on and off to get an mms to go. If it didn't go the first time, I'd just forward the mms I was trying to send to the same person that I was trying to originally send it to, normally the forwarded one went. I decided to forward it to them because it took less time than making a new mms message all over again. hope that helps.
In the mms proxy field put
66.209.11.33 Instead or try 66.209.11.34

You may get faster speeds, but you're not getting true LTE, because our device simply doesn't have the necessary hardware.
But I'm glad you're getting better speed, I agree with trevor, please share your setup!

Well it depends, are you porting your number or are you getting a new number from them? When I activated my straight talk sim card, I got a new number and was up in running in minutes, if not instantly.
I have a ATT plan and just purchased a Verizon HTC one m8 unlocked (i suppose every verizon phone is unlocked).
I have normal calls and texts. But no data connection. Do you guys think this is an APN problem or I will never get data on my device due to some other crazy reason? I appreciate any thoughts.
Already tried many types of APN addresses:

Apn: phone

Its gotta be something with the APN. Bc I had a Verizon Note 2 Verizon S3 and Verizon S4 and they all worked on At&t network with no issues. Granted you will only get 3G data not LTE .

Also, what you have listed isn't quite right. Particularly, the following should be:

Anyway, problem solved. I went to a ATT store, they worked in the computer and setup my APN the very exactly way as before. Do you guys think there is a possibility that ATT staff need to "unlock" the band or something like that?
Thanks for the support

Highly unlikely, never heard of such a thing.
You either entered the APN info improperly (even a single incorrect character or extra space will screw the whole deal); or you didn't try the correct APN that your account is provisioned for.

Thanks!!!!
I just switched my verizon phone to straight talk. Im finding out one of the things thats saving me money is terrible customer support...
So I have an S5 SM-G900V running 4.4.2 unlocked.
So I switch to straight talk and everything is great. Same exact service as verizon for half the price. The next day I get a text that my data plan has been updated from 5 gb to 8 gb. They told me this would happen. Now when they switch my plan over they also reflashed my APN and broke my data/MMS. Get on the web google a little bit download a couple things and within an hour Ive got the APN properly working and data going just fine. Next day I try to send someone a picture via text and realize I cant receive or send MMS'. Get back on google tonight to configure the texting an APN settings and for the life of me I cant get it to work. Ive tried numerous old and new MMSC's proxies, ports, etc. I managed to get my downloading working but uploading refuses to play nice.
My APN reads as follows right now.
APN: TRACFONE.VZWENTP
MMSC: HTTP://MMS.VTEXT.COM/SERVLETS/MMS
MCC: 311
MNC: 480
APN TYPE: DEFAULT,DUN,STDHIPRI,SUPL
APN PROTOCOL: IPV4/IPV6
APN ROAMING PROTOCOL: IPV4/IPV6
BEARER: LTE
If I didnt listed the field is blank. So as a small note my wife has the same exact phone but with the next version of android and is having no issues. Her APN reads exactly the same except the MMSC is set to default, and the APN TYPE doesnt have STDHIPRI. I tried her settings not luck. Also the MMSC im currently on is not what worked for downloading so Im broken on up and download right now. I used an older tracfine address that got downloading working. This vtext address is what is listed as correct for a verizon phone everywhere on the web...
Also Id like to add I wanted to try some settings I found with different MCC and MNC numbers but if I change them it immediately deletes my APN profile...
I did also try go sms and some other recommended messaging apps and it made no difference.
Help please lol. Im getting super frustrated.
Well I just fixed it. Go figure I walk away from it for a couple hours, make a post, screw with it for 10 minutes and figure it out...
SO for anyone else on the internet with this issue here is the functioning current APN for a verizon phone on straight talk as of 8/2017
APN: TRACFONE.VZWENTP
MMSC: HTTP://MMS.VTEXT.COM/SERVLETS/MMS
MCC: 311
MNC: 480
APN TYPE: DEFAULT,MMS,SUPL
APN PROTOCOL: IPV4/IPV6
APN ROAMING PROTOCOL: IPV4/IPV6
BEARER: LTE
It was all in the stupid APN Type line. Apparently either my phones a screw ball OR perhaps newer android phones default better on certain settings that my rooted phone cant? Either way this stupid line changed worked to fix both my downloading and uploading...
