AT&T APN trick for faster speeds

[wish777]

First off am currently on CM9 and flashed UCLC5-Modem here- http://www.mediafire.com/?7vwp5pdsqd1v9ep
Flash it.. Then reboot...BUT I DO BELIEVE IT DOSENT MATTER WHAT MODEM YOUR CURRENTLY USING..

REMEMBER IF YOUR LTE APN DOESN'T STICK, TO DELETE YOUR OLD APN FIRST, THEN MAKE THIS ATT LTE APN THEN, SAVE IT.ENABLE IT....then make other apn if needed be...for the ones having difficulty.

GO TO MOBILE NETWORK>ACCESS POINT NAMES>ATT LTE
MAKE SURE THE SETTINGS ARE EXACTLY LIKE THIS:

AT&T APN Settings
Enter exactly as shown

Name: ATT LTE
APN: pta
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: none
APN type:default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hipri,internet
APN protocol :IPv4/IPv6 (this setting experimental and is optional)
(make sure NO spaces after commas)
BEARER: LTE (default is unspecified) play with this one..
CLICK MENU button and SAVE settings!!!!

STILL NEED STOCK APN-- in APN TYPE:MMS --this helps to insure you get mms better.

UCLC5 was the very first ICS leak for our Notes. If coming from stock, you can just use the following ROM link:

Wonder what the speed differences are between UCLC5, UCLD3 and UCLE2. Be interesting to see someone with the time handy give it a go and compile the results into a multi-colored graph...

Confirmed!

Confirmed working on ATT stock non-rooted phone.

My DL speed at my current location was around 2-3mbps(sucks) now it just went to steady 12mbps and reaching as high as 20mbps after changing the APN settings.

Thanks!

APN: att.mvno
Proxy: not set
Port: not set
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.33
MMS Port: 80

I am confused, was it LTE or non LTE when tested?

I also am wondering the same thing.
Wait a min I am on stock AT&T and these were the exact setting my phone came with and in Philadelphia I have no LTE.

My network type says lte:14
I never have gotten lte before in my house until I flashed that modem.
My wife has a Samsung galaxy s2 from at&t as well...Her phone is not rooted....I tested her device next to mine. With that modem and settings i scored those values....Hers still gets 3-5 mpbs I tested these devices right next to each other. I believe its the combination of the modem and those settings,and or the cm9 rom?

That's weird I'm currently using cm9 and I didn't have those settings in apn type.. I only had default,mms,
I'll flash another modem without those settings and show you what I was getting before ..before and after pics....If anyone else could do the same that would help.

I'm using the latest ICS modem and leak and the settings for "APN type:default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hipri,internet" aren't there. You can only select Internet + MMS

I tried probably every modem...with countless settings to get the best performance..this seems to work the best as of now.. I will keep trying though!

 

[b3asty]

My "apn type" setting is not editable. It only has three selectable options. I guess you can't do this on UCLE2.

No change

Speeds remaining the same to the megabyte per second, Hampton Roads, VA. Are you sure you have your wireless disabled prior to conducting speed test?

You mean wifi? look at the pic i posted.It shows four test with the tower icon which is not wifi..The last two icons are wifi to show people the difference. Did you try the modem? or just the settings,that sucks its not helping.
