[Q] Desire Internet Problem

Need help with setting up the apn
i have got a desire with 2.2 on it from 3uk network. i am trying to setup new apn on it. i am able to save the apn settings, but unable to get the radio button nxt to it to select it to be in use. i have added multiple apn settings, all with no radio button nxt to it. i have restored the apn settings to default, rebooted, restored entire phone to factory settings, added apn settings again, tried all combination, but no joy.
i had a bit of success on adding the apn and deleting muti-multiple times, but since i had to reset the phone that was deleted again. now again no radio button.
in BTWN i had borrowed my friends HTC Hero for few days and had same problem on it.
Can any one post any solution on this plz. i a so frustrated with this.
HTC O2 NEO
HTC AT&T 8525
HTC DIAMOND & DESIRE (current)
Soon SAMSUNG OMNIA 7
If you restore the default apn settings, it doesn't work? Why u want add other apn settings?
Anyway check the apn type, the one u want use should be named "default" i think.

Some people reported here that it doesn't work with lock code on......
I have this problem too, the thing is that if you have the SIM LOCK enabled(PIN) your APN settings will never appear, you can't create them or save anything, but if you disable it then you can download both internet and MMS APNs.
I dunno why this is happening because i didn't have this problem before.
If you look at your internet settings and you have [] around any or them delete the [] and you will be back in business

Yes!!! It was so simple, just get off the pin code from sim card and working! Thank you so much,i think this will help many people!
Thanks oXunknownXo!
I was searching for this solution for 3 days. Finally today I've changed the SIM card with Telenor Helpdesk to a brand new one, but didn't helped. I've spoke with SE Helpdesk, he couldn't help.
I was so confused..
Thanks for the solution!
Worked for me too! Perfect! Thanks!
true empty the APN register and the phone tells you if you wanna download new settings.

Cricket internet and ICS?

Hi evry1,
I am having issues with my Cricket flashed DInc since flashing deck's alpha4 ICS rom. I can't get the Internet to work. In the past, I've used Anycut, APN Backup & Restore, & Root Explorer to change settings and get internet working on other roms that I've flashed. These programs don't seem to work with ICS. I have also tried changing the APN manually, through Voice Dialer. My question is, how can I change the Internet settings for Cricket on my phone with the ICS Rom?
Thanxx

You need to use HiAPN Global app from the playstore to set apns on ics

APN Settings Crash

Hi. I recently flashed and rooted my Xperia Arc from Rogers to ICS I was quite proud of myself and spent an entire day. Anyways long story short. I've had a few issues since then.
1. My keyboard settings seem to stay the same (EG: I keep having things spell checked even if I change the settings and save them)
2. I have a notification that says "Internet & MMS Settings Could not download. Tap here to try again."
I have a feeling they are connected.
So. From what i have learned from other threads and people experiencing this issue it means my APN settings are all out of whack because of the flash to ICS. I finally hunted down the APN settings I need from Rogers on their website. And as I was entering this in. Settings crashed.
"Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" I have restarted my phone numerous times and experimented with wi-fi and data being turned off/on. Nothing is helping me with the crash.
I just now also factory reset my phones settings.
How do I get rid of this error so that I may fix the problem I had to begin with?
Also... The error for internet settings disapeered...
But I still think Im unable to use the MMS etc.
No one knows how to help me out ? It must be fixable.
i had the same problem
i think i reflashed it and that fixed it

Seriously though. I don't see how re-flashing and rooting will help me T_T. If I end up with the exact same "Could not download internet & mms" settings stuff again.

after you reflash your settings will not crash when you go to the apn setting
then you have to manually enter the internet settings

For what its worth, whenever I'm flashing a new rom ( which is like most weekends) I keep a few screen shots on my sd card of my apn settings.
where I am in Australia the automatic downloading of internet and mms settings doesn't accurately pick up my carrier, so it never works for me. but yeah, i found screen shots were a handy way to keep the info handy.:laugh:

[Q] Ting MMS issues with Cyanogenmod (CM11)

I know a lot of people have had issues using Cyanogenmod on MVNO networks, mostly with data services. I was able to find a fix in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340437&highlight=s3.
The CM10.2 fix worked straight from installing the .zip in clockworkmod, but for the CM11 fix I had to overwrite the "apns-conf.xml file" in the "CM11/system/etc" .zip, and then flash the whole CM11.zip after factory resetting my phone. I was finally able to get LTE service this way.
However, my issue is that I still can't send MMS, even though the mmsc is already set to "http://mms.plspictures.com" which is the MMS URL for Ting. Has anyone figured out a fix for this, or why it's happening?
EDIT: Just figured it out.
Part 1: So after flashing a working APN list to get LTE, I downloaded a messaging app that allows you to input MMS settings within the app. I'm using 8sms, but Hangouts might work too. I just used the MMS settings from the working APN list. I tried it on the stock app and it didn't work.
Part 2: I'm only able to send/receive SMS when data AND wi-fi are both enabled, I'm not sure why. I'm also updated to CM 11 M8, so I'm not sure if this would have worked on earlier versions. It's weird because I know that I was able to get MMS over data alone on 10.2
