[q] please help! Droid dna on straight talk!

tomtrangrmi · Dec 13, 2013

I been doing alot of research before switching to straight talk with my dna

straight now offers lte with the att gsm sim

i activated my account yesterday but all i seem to get is att edge wihich is like 2g super slow!! I have internet but i cant download or send mms! And the straight talk reps are retarded!

Ive seen others post saying that they are getting hspa+ and fast 3g

i have the default apn settings that they told me to enter in and told me that there is no problem with the coverage in my area..

So my question is my dna in gsm unlocked how come im not getting the data speeds that i want??

Anybody has any new apns to share?

Please help!! Thanks!!! I been looking everywhere for answers and seem to not get any!

You wont be able to get At&T Lte with a Droid Dna,you will be limited to HSPA+ which is kinda like 3.5G LOL.

Did you change the APN settings, that is usually what you need to do.

I do not want to post links to other forums,so just Google " Straight Talk HSPA+ settings At&t " and you will find your answers.

If it's not the APN It's probably the radio mode. If it's not set to WCDMA you will only get edge over GSM. In viper Rom there is access to this menu in tweaks. If you're on stock sense the dialer code is *#*#4636#*#* That code isn't guaranteed to work but if the radio mode is on GSM ONLY then you won't get HSPA+ The reason the DNA doesn't receive Straight Talk LTE is because it doesn't support the band. An at&t unlocked lte phone would though like an HTC One or what have you.

Your APN should be "tfdata"

yes ive changed the apn numerous times looking up different apn to input but still nothing still stuck on edge!

ive seen videos of dna getting HSPA i dont know how i dont have it im in Grand Rapids, MI where coverage is superb for LTE HSPA so idk what else is there to do

I just bought Att GoPhone Just now prepaid and they said LTE too and i activated and im still on Edge network! so im like clue less now -_-

Hmm,I dont know honestly.

I have a Droid Dna on at&t and soon as I popped in my sim and changed the settings to GSM I was getting HSPA speeds.

Are you running stock or on some custom rom?

When you go to settings ,go to Call,Preferred Network,make sure GSM/UMTS is checked,press it and make sure GSM/UMTS DUAL is checked.

no problem. glad it worked for you. if you get a chance,can you run a speednet test and tell us your speeds?

sucks about not being able to use LTE but its a trade off I guess,the DNA is a great phone.

Try downloading Go SMS from the play store. Its been awhile since I was stock, but I believe that was the only way i could do mms when stock. I'm on AT&T

No MMS with stock messaging app is a known issue for the majority of Straight Talk users. Straight Talk has never addressed the issue. The only app that has ever worked for me is GOSMS.

Weird I don't have any issues with the mms in stock app. I'm a little compulsive when setting up me service I always make sure the apn settings are set to gsm/WCDMA AUTO. Then go to my stock app and clear the data and cache, then go into the app itself then settings an set under mms the max size, then enable auto relieve and enable retrieve when roaming. Then boot to recovery clear delvik and cache then reboot... Hope any of that helps.

What's your APN setting so I can try. I've tried every one posted in online forums and it has never worked for me and a large number of other people.

enigma2446 · Dec 24, 2013

They are the same as what St gives you but I do leave the proxy and port blank... And I'm on a viper Rom.

The MMS proxy and port or the APN proxy and port. There are seperate fields for all 4. Here's what I have

APN : tfdata
PROXY : BLANK
PORT: BLANK
MMSC : http://mms-tf.net
MMS PROXY : mms3.tracfone.com
MMS PORT : 80
APN TYPE : mms

Tried deleting mms proxy and port, nothing. Messages never go through it just hangs with the little htc mms icon with the clock. If someone sends me one it shows up but says download but pushing it never downloads the message. I can see my data signal as active when I'm trying to send but it never goes through. Gosms always downloads them.

[q] please help! Droid dna on straight talk!
