So what ive heard , since I havent upgraded to ics yet is that apn backup and restore will not work as on ics 3rd party apps are blocked from changing apn settings , I found on the market something called "apn setting shortcut " its not a widget or a app just a shortcut to your apn settings , I need to be sure my apns can be fixed after going to ics , as im on boost mobile and dont want to break my mms . so can someone running it please try and change apn settings with this and see if they stick , I would really appriciate it I just want to verify that it will work before I give myself a huge headache

check out AnyCut in the Market. I used it to restore default APN settings on CM9 to MMS work.

Getting to the settings is not his issue. Its what happens after you change them and reboot.
Give me a little bit, I'll test for you.
//edit.. The app will not even run. Starts with an error that it is incompatible. No go with that one.
2- Manually setting up the APN settings should work. I'm not by the computer, so looking up settings to input is a no go, so i can't verify it sticks. But the menu has not changed, except for visually.

Has anyone tried manually editing them with apn settings shortcut ? You dont have to use real ones just change them and reboot to see if they stick and then if they did change them back

I'm on metropcs using an incredible and tried to manually write the apn and couldn't get it working. Incredible almost has a fully functional ICS and I can't use it because I lose mms. If you find a solution please let me know. Thanks
If its any help, u can access the apn settings on cm9 and aokp just as u could on the gb roms. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't stick seeing as YOU'RE the one changing the settings and not a 3rd party.

You can edit the apn settings located at system/etc/apns-conf.xml (can be edited with root explorer) but you must delete data/data/com.androids.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db and data/data/com.androids.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db-journal (or you could just wipe data.)
I've been having the same problems with mms n my, 3g i used any cut to change the apn to the boostmobile settings but my 3g wouldn't work n my mms would only receive n send text but pictures would not send or receive.. This only happens with ICS ROMS... I READ SOMEWHERE THAT YOU CAN CALL BOOSTMOBILE N ASK THEM FOR THERE APN SETTINGS BUT YOU HAVE TO B A USTOMER
No 3G on Boost with all ICS Roms
someone please post once you can get the epic 4g touch working on ICS while on Boost Mobile. I also have the same issue and cannot figure out why any ICS rom doesnt have a working 3G/Data while on Boost.
I just found this post on using setdns and ics works on boost !!

ok i created this thread to see how many of you are running on boost and how much you paid for it to be done or if you done it your self
Won't find to many answering that one cause of legal issues with it . Lol
I did it myself. I would suggest everyone do it themselves because when problems arise you'll know how to fix it. I see alot of people stuck because they don't know what they have to do when they lose data, and they have no more contact with the only person who has what they need. It's funner to tinker yourself anyways
I am on boost but right now im having issues with mms .. can anyone help with my apn settings etc

I saw you sent me a message but this is exactly what I was going to tell you
This is my 2nd Evo on boost. Everything works just depends on the ROM I'm using. I find a lot of trouble sticking with ASOP ROMS as their lack of GPS support and no EPST menu. Other than that love it. I had mine done by the same people that also did my TP2.
And no, it's no legal if you're paying for the service ALREADY and you OWN your "to be" donor phone that you'd clone to the Evo.

also i have cleared data in superuser and it doesn't seem to do anything
I'm not quite sure when it happen but shortly after flashing the very first ics rom for the HTC evo 4g back on 1/27/11 my birthday some reason my phone wont send a pic message. I can receive them but not sending. I've down The latest prl baseband even tried the stock rom. Can someone explain before I make this phone go into airplane mode for real lol.

Hey,
When I had an MMS Issue it was the rom, but as we can see that isnt the case. Now when you switched to the sense rom did you go into software settings to update the prl? and what rom/kernel etc. are you using currently! I see you are on boost mobile though the issue might just lay there! Hope you get it working
Stevo
Try this alternative method if u dont wanna reflash....go into gallery.....share...select pic....message then send....or reflash and see if that fixes it
I'll give it a try when I'm finish with the lease sighning

Your MMS server is set to sprintpcs you have to change it to myboostmobile.com. And you must make that change ANYTIME you flash a new rom because the phone will default to sprintpcs.

Thanks bro.
that stoner works at circle k w/ICS
[UPDATE] Here are the roms that it does work on:
- Ariel
- Kyan
Rom's it does not work on:
- Ultimatum
- Tuchmi
- Diet
Ultimately, because Ariel doesn't have many of the bugs that Kyan does and because it has features I miss (long-press notification icons works, etc.) I am sticking with that. It's a really great rom.
[UPDATE] After switching back to Kyan from TuchMi, I found 3G picture messaging does work again. I then tried DIET and it doesn't work on that rom. The only real difference I've noticed is that on Kyan, there is a a fourth option for network mode that includes LTE, even though I don't use that mode.
I'll try stock next.
So if anyone else has had this issue, you may want to just try a different rom. I do not want to continue using Kyan because it frequently and intermittently freezes when switching from portrait to landscape, because Chrome has display issues, and because long-press doesn't work for the notification icons.

I am using my old data plan and internet works fine. I am using wap.cingular as my APN. I can get online fine.
However, people are sending me pic messages and I am clicking 'download' and it isn't letting me download them.
I've tried what I thought were the correct Cingular MMS setting and the correct ATT settings.
Any help?

i would strongly recommend you switch roms, to see if that fixes the issue, has it always been like that?

Er, not always. I guess it stopped working after the last. I will switch to STOCK. I had kyan but it frequently crash/froze when switching from landscape to portrait.

You can do it in the programming menu. It's been so long since I've done this for friends, I'd have to research it myself for awhile. On the ROM I'm running I can go to settings>more>mobile settings>access point names.

Hey Noon guy here. Did you ever get the setting/APN you where looking for? If so, could you please help me with my Galaxy Nexus LTE-Sprint. I am having trouble getting OTA to go through. I thinking if I set the APN it may possibly activate over the air.

I ported my phone to straight talk from sprint and my data is working but the speeds are very slow. Straight talk told me to manually enter APN settings they provided me but it's not where it is supposed to be under the mobile networks settings. LG support told me it should be there and if it's not that Sprint has removed, hidden or disabled it. Does anyone know how to access APN settings on this phone?

I'm not sure because Ive never had to do it on this phone. I know Sprint has removed/hidden/disabled it. Certain 3rd party messaging apps will allow you to change the apn settings but I dont think it's system wide. I'm not by my phone currently so I cant test this right now but we do have a hidden menu. From your phone dial 3845#*970# to access the hidden menu.
If apn settings aren't in there you could always try a different rom. You would have to be rooted and unlocked with a custom recovery but most of them will allow you to change the apn settings. If you go that route, head over to the original development section for our phone and read the root guide by engine95 found there VERY CAREFULLY. Sorry if this isn't much help but like I said, Ive never had to do this because I'm still on Sprint Stock.
I tried some apps but they don't work on android 4+ they say and I've tried some secret menus with no success. Can't remember if I tried that one or not. Ill check real quick. I am rooted but I've been hesitant to switch Rome since stock works so well but I may have to look into it. Can anyone recommend a hassle free rom?

Yeah I was worried it wouldnt be in there. Most roms have some slight issues, I prefer stock myself and have been modifying it manually. Cyanogenmod 10.2 is probably your best bet though. It's based on Android 4.3, CM 11 is 4.4 based and mostly smooth but still not labeled as stable.
EDIT: Just make sure you make a full backup of what you have now in TWRP. I'd use TWRP 2.5.0.0 btw. Backup all partitions so if something goes wrong you can restore it back. And follow the install directions for CM precisely. Good luck!
try thisOffline SIM APN Database Otherwise consider using a custom rom or even a stock variant.
I'm not sure that database will help me since Sprint is cdma, but also I already have the correct apn settings from straight talk. My phone just doesn't doesn't have the option to input them thanks to Sprint. Cell providers really need to stop locking people in at this point. If your services were good and your price was competitive then people would stay with you, without the gimmicks. Sorry to rant I'm just really sick of all the cat and mouse games of unlocking a phone. I think I probably will just use a custom rom since my phone won't have anymore limitations after that, but that is still more work than I wanted to do just to change apn settings. Thanks for the feedback guys!

I have heard of other apps not having much luck with changing apn settings for us. Even tho I dont currently need it, thanks for the heads up!
It didn't change it for me. It said ICS or later prevents it but it did allow me to open the menu which was good enough for me. Still having a problem where after a reboot it keeps creating the sprint apn after I delete it but I figure that's baked into this stock rom somehow. Prob still be switching roms but I will play with it some more. It also keeps trying to reactivate on sprint but I was glad to at least see the menu. If it were not for some clever sprint engineers that app would have worked perfectly.
