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:

Anyone ever checked the problem with APN's FC'ing on legend based roms, probably not is what i think.
It's not that hard to find the problem, it's rather easy.
As suggested on every Legend based ROM you should download APN backup and restore and wipe ALL APN's
Why do i type ALL in capital, because that APN list in this rom is huge as in a few 100 entry's. No wonder APN settings FC's!!
What i did, because i'm rather lazy, is make a backup, wipe APN's, open xml on PC, delete all items you don't need (and that are many of them), save it and restore it on your Legend rom
Peace of cake.
Just use that app to get rid of your APN like you said.
Then going into the APN menu and press restore defaults works fine for me.

I toyed with this when developing my ROM but it seems that if you exit the APN list and open again later it will force close again, there are simply too many APNs in the list, or some are incorrectly formatted.
I have been playing with some calls to the sqlite3 binary on the relevent database but everything is fine until the database is restored, then same problem again.

Restoring doesn't help, the list is just to BIG.

The list is too big; that's it.
I've trimmed it and included it in Villain BETA3... it's fixed the issue.

Thanks, I think the problem with me is although the information for Orange appeared correct it just never worked, when manually entering it my internet now works. (along with the problems I had with Orange as well)
Please help me guys! After the last firmware update (4.0.A.2.368) i lost my network internet connection (only with wi-fi works)
I call my network provider and they send me via SMS the internet settings, i try to put it on and i get an error message!
After this i try to type manualy the settings in a new APN profile and when i try to save it... do nothing, can't save it !!
Any idea what can i do now ?
Activate wifi and go to Parameters/SonyEricsson/Download parameters for MMS and Internet.
The solution is a change of SIM

Any other idea or must do that friend say to change my SIM?

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.

Hey guys,
I would like to start by apoligizing if there is a thread relating to this issue, but i have searched the forums and couldn't find a solution. The problems i am having is that Google just will not sync on my phone ATT Galaxy S3. I lost all contacts, google play, and google talk. nothing is working anymore.
Recently i tried to install "freedom" on the phone to get free in app purchases. then installed localepicker. now removed the locale picker and the freedom app and i am not sure if this is what caused the problem.
I dont know alot about all this rooting and flashing and stuff like that... i rooted the phone a very simple way from this website just to get game gaurdian on the phone to mess around with games.
So if anybody could helo with my problem thta would be excellent.
Thank you very Much.

When you go in settings and add account, do you get an error? Also, do you set it to manually sync or automatic?
Did it randomly stop or it was after flashing?

Can not establish a reliable connection to the server.
This could be a temporary problem or your Android device may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues Call Customer Servic .
Thats is the message that I keep getting. And i noticed it this morning after I deleted all that freedom/locale pocket stuff. The Internet still works, it's just it refuses to sync the Google account.
Thanks again for taking the time to help me.

When you look at your signal, is it grey? When it is colored (blue most of the time), then it's connecting with Google, if grey, it's not.
I did a little google search (can go a long way ) and found a few solutions:
1- Just restart the phone without the SIM card, and connect to some WiFi network, so you can login to your Google Account. It will log you into the account, and then you can put the SIM card back.
2- Add YouTube app and login with gmail account
Go into Gmail App and add account if needed.
Sign into Gmail account wither username and password
Go through login process
3- Hard reset your phone. You will lose all information that is currently on your phone when you do this.
Select Settings -> Security -> Factory Data Reset
Once the phone reboots, input your google account information when the phone asks for it.

Tried step #1 and #2. None of these work. Just a quick question before Itry step #3 . Will it cause to brick my phone? The only reason I am asking is because the phone is rooted, by one of the methods on this site. That is my only worry, will anything happen if I do it that way or doni have to go threw Odin and that whole process again? Once again thanks for the help.

No you won't brick your phone. Although, make a backup first.

Thanks a lot. When you say back up - you just mean pull all the pics off and put them on my comp, right? Like i said before I'm a noob to the whole android rooting process and things of its nature. Thanks again.

You can go in recovery and make a nandroid backup. That will make a flashable image of your phone which you can get back to if something goes wrong.

Wow. Ok I totally lost you there. I don't know how to make backups and flash stuff. Guess I'll just try to take off the pics and videos. And start from scratch again. I would love to have the latest JB update w/o all the bloatware that AT&T puts on it, but that a whole other project in itself. Lol Thank you for all your help.

Fantastic.... all your ideas did nothing...
Still experiencing the same problems. same error message. its like its blocking my phone from syncing. Maybe i deleted a file. I think the best bet would be to flash a whole new ROM or reboot the whole phone, and make it a fresh one.

Do a backup and go back to stock. See if it works there. If not, it's a problem with your carrier, maybe even your sim card.
So I unlocked my note 3 to be used on cricket and I need to enter the APN setting but I am getting
Unable to view the access point name settings. Access is restricted for the current user profile.

I tried rebooting, I tried to ODIN the stock 5.0 rom time and time again with the same result. any way to fix this? Thanks In advance
disregard. I tried adding one even tho it said that, it actually saved.
Phone worked flawlessly until I rooted & installed TWRP last week, I keep getting an error about my APN every so often and I can't access alot of websites and my text messaging fails. The phone worked fine for the first couple days after rooting though. The only thing I can do to temporarily fix it is a reboot. I tried some Google found settings to manually update it inside Textra (no option to update it on the phone, there's no APN settings under "carrier" menu in setup. It works a little better, but I still constantly get the error and have issues. Also it never allows me to update PRL or profile now too.
Any suggestions on what the deal is? Will have to give up root and reinstall the stock image from Google? I appreciate any help!
I tried to delete my post... this is the best i can do.. no delete button
