New user needing help setting up APN (straight talk)

[SgtBigRig]

Hiya posted in another thread, but this is such a headache I went ahead and started a new one.

I am Still having serious problems with Straight talk. For what ever reason with the APN setting I get this issue where I can can signal at home, but once I'm a few blocks away I lose ALL signal. Also have yet to get the internet on my phone with Any of the known apn settings. I'll get the internet just fine if I use my (Wifi), but that defeats the purpose of a smartphone if its not mobile right? Whats really been bugging me is, where the Heck do I enter the settings? I downloaded the app WirelessManager because I heard it helps with setting up apn, I have an (internet_line) (MMS_Line). Problem is however I also found another area under (Cellular) in settings that has its own APN area. So between 3 places I don't know where the correct info needs to be. I been trying to use straight talk Customer support and as its been reported its god awful. Worst yet is their "forums" where you need every post approved my moderators, had a mod approve my question I posted, they sent me a PM asking for a reply, but the dingus somehow forgot (users cant respond to PMs unless you had more than 5 post approved...) its ***-backwards like you wouldn't believe.

So I humbly come before you all, hoping you can tell me what I did wrong (other than joining straight talk lol).

My Phone is an Unlocked Samsung Focus 2


Here are my exact settings as follows:

Apn: tfdata

Auth type: none

What type of SIM are you using? It looks like you're using a combination of AT&T and T-Mo APN settings. If it's an AT&T SIM, then under internet_line, the APN should be tfdata.
