Mobile data not working! - HTC Inspire 4G

Anyone else having a problem with the inspire not pick up mobile data? When I have WiFi turned on I am good, I can surf the net, and etc. But when I turn off WiFi the phone doesnt pick up mobile data. I have the option turned on in settings but it just sits on turning on.. I have reset the phone a few times and nothing.

same for me

Go into settings>wireless and network>mobile network. Turn data on. It's off out of the box for some unknown reason unless you set it up when you power the phone on initially. I started it up wifi only and had the same problem as you guys.

Try turning Airplane mode on and let it settle in, then turn it back off and see if it will kick in afterwards and work.

Ok I have a crazy question... The phone is 4g.. I am using a 3g sim card.. could that be the problem?

Like I said that setting is checked.. but still nothing.

Is data working on your old/previous phone? If not, call att and put data on old phone (give them old phone imie). When data is working on old phone, put simcard into inspire. Default apn is not working. Create new apn. Name: att Apn: wap.cingular
That's it!

I just created a new network named: att and Apn: wap.cingular and it worked. Why the hell do we have to set up a network?

I remember reading about this over on AndroidForums about some guys who got their's early at Costco. I believe it had to do with something AT&T hasn't done yet to let Inspire's connect.
I can't find a link though :/ but I think it should be in order tomorrow, if not, call em up and tell them

thanks for this! I had the same problem in my store, but ill try this when i get in!!

I was hoping adding a custom APN would fix it. I work for at&t and I saw this the other day.
HSPA+ devices will not support a data experience without an HSPA+ data plan. Anyone who swaps their SIM from a 3G device to an HSPA+ device, must update their smartphone data plan to an HSPA+ plan.

No way.. That is not what i was told.. If that is the case they might change your unlimited data with that.. I have unlimited and if they tell me I have to change it.. forget it. I will return the phone.

this makes sense since default apn is phone (not wap.cingular) but apn phone is not working currently.

I just spent 30 minutes on the phone with ATT and they said the reason my data isn't working is because the 4g data plan isn't live till tomorrow.

[Q] Best app for free Tethering/Wifi hotspot?

Is there an app out there that AT&T won't slap you with a $20 charge for using?
you can enable the one built into the phone, please search for answers. im gonna do a how to, it is very easy but people keep asking. if you have root you need to use titanium or appfreezer to freeze an app called tethermanger0326.apk or something to that effect. if you know what you are doing you can delete it as well in anyway you can imagine.
if you dont have/want root, if you are on wifi you can put the phone in airplane mode, then turn only wifi back on. then you can search the market a bit more for apps. some are named in the tethering thread that was already up. thread though apps may still be hidden becasue of the ro.build.fingerprint. if that is the case you can download it to the computer and sideload it.
please if a thread already exists, post there! also read some if it, you may find that the question has been answered
You may not have read my post thoroughly enough. I want to know if there is a tethering app that AT&T will not charge me a fee for using. Using the built-in tethering/hotspot is discovered by AT&T and results in a $20/mo change to your bill.
I have searched and read other posts in this and other forums and the same answer you gave was all I found.
Are you certain using the built in hotspot is detectable by ATT? Or are you planning on downloading gigs worth of data via your Infuse? I'm asking a serious first question! haha
Seriously though, I thought ATT was only auto-charging unauthorized iPhone tethering users.
i have never seen anyone get auto charged, the infuse/captivate wont even let you turn mobile ap on unless you buy the plan. that is the reason for freezing the app, after that, who knows!
I'm not planning on doing a lot of downloading, but I have a Nook Color, so I'm definitely interested in being able to connect the NC via hotspot.
There is a work around for this posted somewhere on these forums that involves creating a new APN, switching to it, enabling hot spot, then switching back to the regular APN. It worked like a charm on my Atrix just last week, but I haven't tried it since I got the Infuse on Tuesday. Search for that thread.

tethermanager actually checks your plan settings, if the apn trick works let me know but i doubt it.

The Atrix checked your plan as well. It would tell you "Your plan does not support tethering, call ATT if you want to change your plan". I'm not sure if it used tethermanager specifically, but it did check, and the APN workaround worked on that phone. Unless someone beats me to it, I'll post here when I've tried it on the Infuse.
Here is the step by step for the Atrix, posted originally by Fixster. There maybe slight
Steps 1: Browse to Menu>>Settings>>Wireless & Networks>>Mobile Networks>>Access Point Names.
Steps 2: Tap ‘Menu’ and select ‘New APN’.
Steps 3: Enter the following APN settings:
Name: AT&T
APN: wap(.)cingular
Proxy: ** Leave Blank **
Port: 80
Username: WAP(@)CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password: CINGULAR1

MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com

APN Type: ** Leave Blank **
After you've created the APN, you switch to it, then enable your hotspot. After you get the notification that setup was successful, switch back to the original APN.
Just a cursory glance in the Infuse settings revealed that unlike the Atrix, there are no radio buttons to select your current APN, so I'm not sure how that part works here.

I just rooted my infuse then installed wifi tether for root users , got app from applanet . Works great
Samsung infuse 4G
Ok real question. I just turned on AP for the first time the one and i was able to turn it on I am coming from and iPhone way back when 3G and I used the tethering on it and then on my tilt2 but i dont think we have ever been charged for it. I dont download gigs of info but I was wondering if it is ok to still use it or should i check about it. I do have unlimited data plan

worst case you pat a surprise $15 for one month if it upgrades you to the tether plan, then you can change the plan back to what you wish. noone has reported a automatic plan change, i think you are safe after you get around the tethermanager barrier

I can confirm that this does actually work, however, there does not seem to be a way on this phone to deselect the custom APN after you've successfully set up your hot spot. The only way I could disconnect from it was to reset the APN page to it's defaults. Naturally that also kills your hotpot. Plus, you don't want to have to re-enter it every time you want to set up a hot spot. I believe it should be possible to copy the two existing APN's into custom APN's, and that should allow you to switch back and forth. I don't have the time to try that right now, but feel free.
Hotspot

APN Settings with working MMS (Skyrocket)

Ok, for those of us that have problems connecting to non-mobile websites, this solution worked for me. I've tried so many combinations- all resulted in internet working, but no MMS. I need MMS!!!
I was also up all night with AT&T regarding this issue (still pending). So after a couple hours, multiple tries, I hung up, they said they'll call me back after they find a solution. Whatever! It was 3:30am, I was trying different combinations until I passed out. I woke up and it was working!!! Powered off & on a few times. Still working. Applied the same settings on the wife's Skyrocket and now it's all working.
Name: attwap (name it whatever you want)
APN: wap.cingular
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Menu> Save. BackButton. Select the APN you created (green dot). BackButton. Done.
Noobs - To get to APN settings: Menu> Settings> Wireless and network> Mobile Networks> Access Point Names. Menu> New APN.
I dont know if "wap.cingular" is faster than "phone" (other APN), or vice versa. I tried speedtest on both, same ballpark in my area. The point is that the internet and MMS is working. I will "settle" for this until AT&T fixes this problem. LTE not yet available in my area. They said the PTA network is brand new and they're still working out the kinks.
Hope this works for you, too.
Works great man, I spent a lot of time on this last night couldn't get both internet and mms to work.
Ditto, I ended up going back to pta because I couldn't get MMS to work on anything else.
I'm glad it worked for you guys too. I was a bit annoyed switching back and forth whenever I had to send an MMS. The trouble was my wife couldnt- didnt know how. Now life is good... for now...
Well LTE is suppose to roll out to NY in the near future so hopefully we only have to use this work around for a bit more.
APN Differences?
Thanks Mike-
Works great! Data is constant now throughout all the sites I visit, no data loss. Also MMS works! And through speedtest app my DL is very close to the other APNS here in my non-LTE market in Harrisburg, PA.
Can somebody explain or point me in the direction of the differences between the APNS: pta, phone, and wap cingular?

looks as though you can't even use the phone apn along with the those mms setting in the same profile anyway.
Worked for me also.
Seems to work for me too. I don't know much but, all this cingular stuff wouldn't suggest we are using a different network would it? And we get a bill for roaming or something lol
Cingular is AT&T.
Oh that's right lol I forgot

Dont think it's an APN issue. "wap.cingular" is widely used. Maybe the phone just needed a restart. I treat my phone like my computer, leave it on all day, but reboot it every once in a while... and of course, back that thing up. (I dont mean the song)

MMS not working on AT&T with xt925

I recently got the XT925 fido version and I am using it on AT&T, everything is working beautifully, hsdpa, LTE works perfect as well. The only issue I'm having is that mms messages or picture messages come in where it asks me to download, I tap download but it does not download the image, it just sits there. One issue is that everyone who is sending to me is sending from an iPhone so that may have something to do with it. If anyone knows a way to get around this issue with mms I'd appreciate the help, thank you.

Don't forget to make sure you select it after saving it, because the OS will not do that automatically. Reboot the phone, go back to the APN list and make sure it's still there and selected. Try sending or receiving MMS to it. The automatically selected entry is an older APN and this new one might actually give you a small LTE speed boost. Give it a shot with SpeedTest.

pta does not seem to be working on my phone. the hsdpa apn is working and i get lte from it. mms does not work with the hsdpa the settings you provided i actually attempted to create new apn with them but i don't get data connectivity with the pta apn, i don't know what the problem is, i'm wondering if it has something to do with the way att has my account setup since i'm coming from an iphone 5 and i never notified them that i got a new phone. Could this be possible?
just to let everyone here know, I am coming for an at&t iphone 5 lte, and i bought a fido xt925 from ebay. by default when i go into the apn settings there are 5 apns available, out of those 5, 2 of them are pta and hsdpa, I am not able to use the pta at all, it will not get data connectivity at all for me. Also lets take into account that i am using my sim card from my iphone 5 which is a nano sim so i am using an adapter to size that sim to a micro sim to get it into the razr hd. the only apn with which i get data is the hsdpa apn, when using that apn i am able to get hspa+ and LTE because i see the symbol changes from H+ to 4G and i have tested and I do get lte speeds. The mms problem i noticed is only when i am using LTE, when i am using the hspa+ i am able to send and receive mms messages. basically when the phone has H+ i can get and send mms but when the phone goes to 4G I am not able to send or receive mms. Very strange I will be contacting at&t about this.

I'm sorry to hear you're still having issues with MMS. I just did a firmware restore on my phone and was able to select PTA and use MMS in WiFi, H+ and LTE. I'm not sure how much of an assistance AT&T will be willing to offer though, since you are using a phone that is not normally provisioned by them. I've ran into cases where they just shrugged and told me it's not their problem when I had data issues with the International Note.

[Q] HowTo DISABLE LTE (AT&T)

I noticed today that in gaining LTE (already on an LTE plan with ATT, was using LTE on my N4 just fine) I lost the ability to DISABLE LTE and (more specifically) use wap.cingular as an APN. I've done reset to defaults, checked settings and compared to my N4, nothing. I can actually disable LTE, but even on forced HSPA+, I can only connect via PHONE, not WAP.CINGULAR APN. This is important as wap.cingular bypasses throttling and also does not count toward the throttle counter. Any help would be appreciated. Otherwise I'll have to leave to Tmo which...is an option but a last resort.
SOLVED!
I found an Xposed Framework module called Wedymod. Link http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.wedy.mod
In this module is an option called "Do Not Prefer APN". After selecting this and rebooting, the phone obeys the APN I tell it to use (wap.cingular in this case). I'd love to pick apart this module and figure out how/what it's doing specifically if anyone else has the skills I'd love to see it done. Enjoy guys!

you can go Settings -> More -> Mobile networks -> Preferred Network Type Select 3G
Then under Access point names add a new APN for wap.cingular and name it AT&T 2 or AT&T Bypass Throttle and select and enable it
i dont see why you need an xposed stuff for this..

Actually I spoke too soon, it did NOT solve my problem. Upon further testing (deleting all non-wap.cingular apns) I still can't get a connection unless I add back pta or phone. Can you confirm what plan you're on? I'm on LTE Unlimited as my plan code and I CANNOT connect on wap.cingular over 3G. I can do it over 2g (not on LTE obviously) but the phone will NOT allow me to connect via 3g to wap.cingular. My i9100 has no problem with this.

[Q] ATT LTE but cannot receive MMS?

This weekend I moved from StraightTalk (w/ATT SIM) to ATT. Everything worked fine on ST, but now that I'm on ATT directly.. I cannot receive MMS.

Sometimes it takes a little while for messages to catch up. As long as your APN is correct, and you are on the right plan, you should be fine.

Sometimes it takes a little while for messages to catch up. As long as your APN is correct, and you are on the right plan, you should be fine.
It's been 48+ hours -- seems like long enough for things to sort themselves out or it can take longer than that?
No one has said the APN is wrong... I was hoping some other folks with a Nexus 5 on ATT would be able to comment/confirm that what I have works for them.

The settings are correct.
Turn off wi-fi, make sure Data is on. and try again.

No joy. Wi-fi is off, data is on (I can get to Google). I've also tried with LTE enabled and then at 3G (LTE off). Pictures continue to send fine, but just won't receive them.
Even if Wi-fi is on, I don't receive pictures.
I guess I'll wait another couple of days and see. Worst comes to worst, I can switch back to StraightTalk w/ATT sim and be where I was. Seems odd to work correctly on a second tier (in my mind anyway) carrier and not a first tier one.
Thanks!

If he puts the http:// in front of the mmsc, then yes it IS a link.

Yeah, really not a reason that it's not working. What size MMS are you trying to send?
I've tried about 20 different pictures that I've sent historically, plus AT&T Support couldn't send me pictures... nor could any friends. I don't know the size of any of the images. Just for fun, I've tried four different SMS/MMS apps, yeah I know.. that shouldn't matter at all.
On occasion the app has said "resizing image" before letting attache and send it, so some were "large".

On your AT&T account online, what type of data plan do they have you on?

I tend to use 250ish, so the limit works for me.

Have you tried resetting the APN and then re-entering the AT&T settings? Just to see if something needs to be cleared out?

Yes, I've deleted all the APN settings my phone had and then manually entered in the one that I'm using.
I am.. it seems, quite the anomaly!
Thanks for your time and thoughts.

It's actually happened before. It's always something simple too.

My wife was having that problem on her GS3 with AT&T. In the messaging app we set it to roaming Auto retrieve and it worked after that.
Hope that works for you.

I just tried that and didn't work.
And, I would like to officially stack claim to my status as an anomaly. I had one (1)picture that I sent myself today out of about 50 that actually went through. That's right, one was sent/received.. no setting or anything changed and back to can't receive.
I did also try deleting all APNs, rebooting the phone (taking the "clean things out" idea to an extreme) and manually typed in the APN.. no good.
Could my problem be with the Message Center Number? I've seen that referenced in a few places... but as I can send, it seems that wouldn't be the issue.
If I dial *#*#4636#*#* and go into Phone Information, the SMSC is blank. While I can type info into it, there's no "save" or "update" option...
If I hit refresh it populates with "+131323149810",145
Part in "s looks right for ATT, but again... no way to save it. The Update button doesn't 'seem to do anything.

It's definitely a weird problem for sure. It's one of those problems that if I had the phone in front of me...it might be a different story.
