Well, first off, if you don't know, Revol Wireless is a small local company in my area.
It's very similar to Cricket.
I've gotten everything else to work on the phone.
I put in the Internet/WEP settings with QPST with everything sticking even through a rom change.
But, the problem is, when I change the default Sprint APN to Revols settings for MMS, it works. But, when I reboot it doesn't.
When I go back and look at the APN, it's exactly the same.
I even went into programming (##3282#) and made sure everything was correct.
Since I'm new I can't post links, but the forum I'm using to get the Revol information on, works fine on the Droid X and other Android phones.
Another weird thing I noticed, is that whenever you change the mnc to 00, the APN doesn't show up. It's still there, as you can browse it via APN Manager, but when you use voice dial to open APN, it's hidden.
At first, I thought that was the problem, but even when leaving the mnc to the default Sprint settings, it still only works until I reboot.
Also, the only way to get MMS working again, is for me to put a flash with a new ROM, and once I reboot, it doesn't work again.
I'm sure the settings are correct, because when using them on a Droid X they work fine.
Any advice, or suggestions would be appreciated.
I have a guide. I dont know if this will help.

Try using a 3rd party sms app like go sms. it allows you to change the apn just for mms settings. I heard it worked for some issues like this

Change it in the etc/apnsconf.XML file. All the numbers align with what you change in the program, so you just have to figure out what they mean. Compare the sprint ones on boot to the XML file then change the XML file accordingly for revol. You'll need to do this then put it in the zip and reflash. And you will need to do this each time you change roms even if you upgrade the same rom.

any help??
im on virgin in the uk
many thanks
alex
same here...returned to GB because of this
You may have to manually enter your mobile network settings, go to virgin mobiles website and search for manual settings in support section.
I'm with T-Mobile UK and data works perfect.
Good luck to you, and if you sort it, report back how you solved the issue.
I have set correct APN settings and when I enable data, E appears above signal indicator but it is grey which means no internet access ( blue is internet access)
network settings most likely... im on 3UK and no network problems here....although i have found that a few location based apps dont work...
yes i got it working the apn setting were from t-mobile which virgin shares their signal, manually enterted virgins and hey presto it works thanks for the help

APN Error?
Whenever I enter APN settings and save it, nothing happens. Nothing pops up in the APN menu.
Hi everyone,
I just rooted my phone using mrRobinsons No-Counter-Tipping method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687). I still can't seem to DELETE the stock T-Mobile APN, and I need to delete to get on SIMPLE MOBILE's data network.
Please help me if you know how to do this. Thanks.
I may be wrong, but I don't think you would need to delete it. I believe that you would have the option to select T- Mobile or Simple Mobile. Check the Simple Mobile box and you should be good to go. Hopefully this helps you. I'm not 100% sure since I've never had to switch carriers or APN's.

On(in) the apn screen, hit menu, add apn, fill in the blanks (I don't use Simple Mobile so I do not know the correct settings) and then save (or, menu> save) and when back at the apn screen tap the radio button next to Simple Mobile.

Thanks for the reply everyone, but on my HD2 I did add the SIMPLE Mobile APN WITHOUT deleting the T-mobile one, and it didn't connect to the 3g/4g network. Once I deleted the T-Mobile APN (as the instructions say to do per Simple Mobiles website) it worked fine.
Now that I'm using my S3, I tried just adding Simple Mobile, and that Does NOT work. I recently found an app that allowed me to change/delete the T-Mobile APN (APN Manager), but maybe that didn't complete delete it, otherwise something else isn't working correctly.
Is there anybody that is using SIMPLE Mobile on their Galaxy S3 (T999)????????

I just did it this morning. Added the new APN then selected the radio button (to the right of the name of the APN in the list). I was getting an average of 15 Mbps down.
My phone is unlocked, but it's never been a problem with any Android phone I've used.

Your phone is SIM Unlocked? Is it Rooted? I'm just trying to get my setting working, and stock (out of the box), the settings for SIMPLE Mobile didn't work (I restarted and everything just as the instructions say). The T-Mobile APN was still there.
Please let me know exactly what you did so that I can try and make it work for me. Thanks.
EDIT: One other thing. I have the $40 SIMPLE Mobile Plan (which was working fine on my HD2) with unlimited 3g data. What plan do you have? Do you think that would affect it?
im pretty sure u need to go to mobile networks/network operators/default setup and choose manual before attemtping to do your add apn.

I think this may have done the trick. I also think the connection is acting differently since I'm on this phone (with this stock ROM) compared to my HD2 (with CM9 ROM created by Tytung). So deleting the APN made it find the SIMPLE Mobile network, where manually setting this one made it so I didn't need to delete the APN.
Thanks.
Closely related issue - Please Help!
Your issue is closely related to something I'm trying to do, but unsuccessfully. I also have a T-Mobile andriod phone (galaxy) and I've recently switched to Net10 Wireless. The service is excellent and everything works great on the data side. However, I can't delete the T-Mobile APN and it keeps switching back to it randomly even though I've selected the radio box next to Net10's APN. It will work for period of time and then stop and I'll go back in to the APN settings, and sure enough, it has switched back to T-Mobile. It doesn't give me an option to delete this APN, only the one I added.
Any thoughts anyone?
Thank you!

I have a pantech pocket that I just got and I am using it on my new unlock straight talk plan...I am very technology challenged when it comes to this stuff. The pamplet that came with my new micro sim card for straight talk said that I need to change the APN settings and it lists what I need to put in it's place. However, whenever I go into "mobile networks" and try to change my APN settings, I can't. They are shaded and when I touch them they don't react at all. I can't change them at all! So, how would I go about choosing manual in the default setup? I am sorry...I just don't know where I would even find any of that at. Super confused

I don't know if anyone will ever read this, but simple trick:
You're right in that when you just add a Custom APN and select it (on any phone I've had), it won't remember your selection. It'll either keep selecting the Default APN, or neither.
What's always worked for me, is to create a 2nd one and name it "DONT USE" or "Dummy APN" and "Save" it (Menu).
Then create a 3rd one and set that one up the way you want/need and Save it, then select it.
Let the phone run for a minute and make sure your Mobile Data works (go to Google.com). Then Reboot and wait until it finishes booting up (2-3 minutes from when you see the Home Screen) and then go check it and your Custom APN should be selected.
Your Carrier may have instructed you to Delete the original one, but it can't be done from the phone's APN screen anyway. They never bothered trying it, trust me.

Am I blind or did they vanish? I go to SETTINGS --> MORE --> MOBILE NETWORKS, and I have 4 options... Data Enabled, Data Roaming, Network Mode, and System Select. Isn't this where one previously would have found APN settings? Are they somewhere else now? I've searched like hell and haven't found any mention of them being moved.
Aren't APN's a GSM thing? I'm not sure if you'll see that on a VZW CDMA device. On that screen on my GSM phone I also have Access Point Names

Well that would explain it. Why am I thinking you had to add APN info for MMS on a Verizon device though? Perhaps I'm confusing myself.

Open Voice Dialer and say "open apn settings" and bam, your in. And us CDMA users do have and use these settings for adding MMS settings if necessary.

Another VZW GNexer here. I absolutely cannot send MMS any more. Tried using voice to access the old apn settings menu, no luck. I can manually go into /system/etc/apns-conf.xml or /system/build.prop without issue and can access all apn-related text, but am not quite sure how to go about tackling the problem from there (wouldn't want to change the wrong setting).
I've done a bit of searching, and haven't quite found a solution that works for me on 4.2.1...
***Update***
Turns out, the issue was related to Handcent. No apn editing required. Go figure...

My phone doesnt take a sim
I had the unlimited mobile browsing package a while ago before it switched over and now they have changed it to data.
I have tried entering the new settings of rogers-core-appl1.apn and that doesn't work and I have tried internet.com as well with no luck. I did make sure the settings were enabled (the radio button was enabled) and I did check out the unofficial forms, but I wanted to come here since I could post for a phone specific response.
I also noticed I couldn't select the option of IPv4/IPv6, as only IPv4 was available. APN settings are Internet+MMS instead of default.
Has anyone had any luck with it?
