Anyone have settings for ATT ?

Seriously? No body have 930 on AT&T Network?

I'm using it with a Straight Talk AT&T SIM but the apns are most likely different than regular AT&T

This is what I use and MMS works fine. If I recall I got it from here:

Some have said they didn't need to configure the APN at all, but I did and I guess it has to do with what country variant you use. Personally I didn't need an Internet APN, just MMS.

Best I got is H+ connection. So this won't connect as 4G/LTE? Just wondering. Also on MMS Max size. Can this be set any larger than 1024 or is that max?

You will never get LTE on AT&T with the 930.
The 930 does not have the LTE bands used by AT&T.

So my phone should display LTE instead of H+? Maybe they gave me the wrong SIM. I have the check that number again.

Thanks Fred!

No, you phone WILL NOT get LTE on AT&T.

HSPA+ is what you will get (most likely displayed as H+, I don't have my 930 anymore).

And just to clarify, HSPA/HSPA+ is the same as AT&T 4G (when it would show on your AT&T phone), so it's still fast just not LTE fast. Another way it's typically explained is HSPA is 3.5G and HSPA+ is 4G, but both are faster than 3G.

Actually the garbage names that providers make up are all marketing junk.
AT&T is one of the worse at this, calling their HSPA+ "4G".
Only LTE is "4G".
They're all techinically 3G.
I'm on AT&T and my HSPA+ speeds (depending on where I am in town) are around 10~13 mps.

Here:

"
HSPA+

HSPA+ is the pinnacle of current 3G technology, offering a theoretical 168Mbit/s downlink speed. In reality most HSPA+ coverage is only capable of 21Mbit/s, with some areas being upgraded to 42Mbit/s and occasionally even 84Mbit/s. But even the fastest implementation of HSPA+ is a long way behind the 1Gbit/s download speed required to be considered a real 4G network. But this hasn’t stopped a number of US carriers from advertising HSPA+ as 4G.

T-Mobile was one of the first companies to falsely advertise its HSPA+ network as 4G, and AT&T followed suit shortly after. Arguably AT&T is even worse, as its network started out with capabilities peaking at 14.4Mbit/s download and 5.8Mbit/s upload speeds, which is ridiculously slow for a 4G network. Users in the UK, and some other countries, will probably have noticed that some carriers actually offer HSPA+ as part of their 3G network packages. So it seems that US consumers are being sold and overcharged to use a slower network under the guise of a next generation technology.

I was speaking more in terms of a direct translation to what he used to see on his devices. When looking at the signal on an AT&T phone you get either LTE or 4G (or worse), and HSPA/+ is the equivalent of the 4G "mode" just with a different name.

Thanks Fellas.
