Help Needing help with finding a US APN for a Doogee

I'm new to the forums. For some time now I have used Straight Talk for a carrier using AT&T and T-Mobile phones with sim cards and have always setup my and others APN's without any issues. About a year ago I purchased a Doogee Voyager DG300, which from my understanding is a clone phone, from China. These phones have no carriers and come unlocked. The Voyager has version 4.2 on it and it worked great, until a blemish in center of the screen, almost like a ripple appeared from spending to much time in my front pocket. I recently upgraded to the Doogee Hitman DG850, it has version 4.4 0n it. Very nice phone. I can send and receive calls as well as send and receive texts, including MMS, without any issues. My issue is I can not get data on this phone beyond 2G. I've tried every APN variation possible including switching sim cards. I have checked the frequencies in my area versus the specs on the phone and every thing looks right. I have spent several hours with Straight Talk reps as well as an hour or so with a Google rep trying to resolve the issue. The phone works great on wifi, but the data responds like dialup. The Google rep advised me that even tho Doogee is not on the list of manufacturers for certified Android OS but checking the version I'm using he advised me it is a proper build version of KitKat. Can anyone help me?
 
The Chinese Doogee Hitman DG850 does NOT have the US 3G/WCDMA bands, specifically 850 and 1900MHz. It will never get 3G service in North America, 2G/EDGE only and nothing you can do about it. It's not an APN problem, because if that was wrong you wouldn't even get EDGE service or be able to do MMS.
