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?

I just restarted my phone and it seemed to work. just clear the settings for apn back to default and restart. internet.com worked for me as the apn. could try using the other, but at least I know it works for me with internet.com

Hi, I am after a bit of help here after potentially messing up one of my Wife's friends new Desire.
It is on the the Orange UK Network and is their own branded version of the phone.
Because she was saying that the battery life was not very good, I installed 'apndroid' so that she could easily turn the 3G connection on and off and (hopefully!) preserve the battery life a bit more.
apndroid installed fine and turned the 3G off - however when I clicked the widget icon again, it wouldn't switch back on. I uninstalled apndroid and re-booted the phone but still no joy.
I have checked that 'Mobile Network' is enabled in settings and the 'Network Mode' is set to GSM/WCDMA auto.
Does anyone have any hints/tips/tweaks that might re-enable the 3G please? I can't figure out why this has happened. The settings look exactly the same as I have them on my HTC Tattoo and that works fine.
Any help you can give would be hugely appreciated! (And might get me out of the dog house!).
Check the apn settings. APNDroid changes them from the correct ones to switch off 3G so it should be a simple matter of removing whatever apndroid puts there.
Thanks for the quick reply - I did uninstall APNDroid in case that was what was causing the problem, so hopefully it would have reset itself to what it was originally.
Anyway, I'll get her to check.
If that isn't the problem would it be worth doing a 'hard reset'? She hasn't had the phone that long so she wouldn't lose much.
Thanks again for the help.
3G on Orange
You could try resetting the APN to default:
[Menu] > Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > [Menu] > Reset to default
It may be too late for such a simple sort, but it might be worth trying.

APNDroid disabled your APN by adding a suffix of "apndroid" to your APN. If you uninstall APNDroid without reenabling your APN, it will remain disabled.

Guys, many, many thanks for all your replies - excellent help and suggestions - better than any 'Helpdesk'!!
The Wife will be contacting her friend tomorrow to pass on your suggestions - hopefully this will fix the problem.
Many thanks once again.
Guys,
Just thought I'd let you know we have fixed the problem - it was indeed the APNDroid 'tweak' still showing as enabled on the APN settings. To fix this I just created a new APN using the settings obtained from another Orange branded Desire, and hey presto, all working again!
Just in case they may be useful to someone else, these are the default APN settings for an Orange branded HTC Desire:-
Name
Orange Internet
APN
orangeinternet
'Proxy' through to 'MMS Port'
<not set>
MMS protocol
WAP 2.0
MCC
234
MNC
33
Authentication type
CHAP
APN type
default
Cheers!
Don't have LTE, so I created an APN for phone, gives me faster speeds with ATT and lets me use Onlive (blocked using the original APN). Noticed however visual voicemail only works with the LTE APN. any way to add it to my custom one?
Don't have a response to your question but I'm curious how you got the new APN to stick? On mine when I created another APN but it just keeps on defaulting to the "pta" APN.
My understanding visual voice mail is exclusively for LTE network. In fact, if you switch to LTE plan and go back to regular plan, you might endup with disabled voice mail.

I have no problem adding new APN and use it...
I wasn't aware there was a separate LTE plan?
That is strange. I wonder why I cannot set up an additional APN to connect to. Whenever it's selected, I can watch it get switched back after a few seconds...
Yeah, basically it's the same plan just has LTE in it's name.
If you have SQLite Edit (or something similar), you could try alter the APN manually.

I had the same issue with the phone APN not sticking. I followed the instructions from a thread in the Skyrocket forum about throttling that said to use phone for the APN name, internet for the APN type and leave everything else blank or default. How I ended up solving it was using the MMSC, MMS proxy, MMS port, and APN type entries from the pta APN and using them in the phone APN and after that phone APN would stick.
Also, I too am unable to get Visual Voicemail on the phone APN.
Thanks! I can't believe I didnt think about trying that. I just created the phone APN with the same settings as PTA and it works. I'm back on regular HSPA+ speeds since I'm not in an LTE area. For what its worth, visual voicemail works just fine for me.
Evening-
I too had some issues with the VVM not working and couldn't figure out why...even tried to use YouMail with no luck and finally logged into my account and reset the password for my V-Mail. I then re-set up the stock ATT VVM, deleted the forwarding YouMail installs and everything worked like a charm again.
I too setup the alternative APN (not in the LTE Market) and it stuck just fine...maybe try resetting the password/pin and see if that works. Good luck!
I flashed AOKP bulid 28 today, but some of network settings just disppear from "wireless and networks", I got only 3 options under "mobile networks" : 1.Data enabled 2.Data roaming 3. System select. I can't configure APN manually or through 3-party tools, everything else seems to work fine. ANY suggestions pls
I feel ya I've tried everything and looked everywhere trying to figure out how to configure APN on ICS and came up empty. Even talked to developers and they couldn't tell me. I'd like to run ICS but my dinc is flashed to metroPCS and without being able to change APN I lose MMS

Hi all,
I'm having a lot of trouble the past 2 weeks or so with my galaxy s3. For some reason the phone refuses to work on 3g/LTE. I've tried flashing several roms, including official roms, and still no help. Any suggestions other than sending my phone in for repairs?
thanks.
Have you tried putting in the right APNs?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
Yes I have, the APNs already in the phone are the default one's but I tried to put LTE specific apns to no avail.
here is the settings taken directly off the Fido website
APN Settings:
APN: Fido-core-appl1.apn
If you have a LTE device, use the following setting: LTEMOBILE.APN
MMS (Picture & Video Messaging Settings):
MMSC: http://mms.fido.ca
MMS Proxy: 205.151.11.13
MMS Port: 80
Leave the following fields blank: Proxy, Port, User Name, Password, Server
Press the options button on your device, tap on Save in order to save the APN settings.
Open the Internet browser icon on your device and start browsing. There are occasions where restarting your device is needed before it can browse. If you cannot connect to the Internet, restart the phone and try browsing the Internet again.
NOTE: The created APN will show up on the APNs screen. To activate the APN, tap on the radio button located in front of APN.
Is your IMEI still there?
have you check that network mode is well selected on GSM/HSPA/LTE?

The original imei backup/recover thread had vanished for some reason. I think this thread is a copy http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32397-tutorial-imei-backup-nv-with-qpst-us-variants/
I'm having a Similar Issue on ROGERS; Unable to make any phonecalls. APN is set up correctly; and I checked my IMEI and its in there (Not sure what the numbers are supposed to be, but I'm assuming "IMEI is gone" means NO numbers are showing up, and I have a great many of them there...So I'm kind of at a loss. Phone worked earlier today, been flashing different roms trying to find a good TW one I liked (Coming from Task650). I had to revert to stock because I couldnt get LTE after going from AOKP to TW, but after I flashed Stock with ODIN, and then returned to trying different TW ROMS my LTE was fine; so I just kept flashing (clean flashes, no dirties)....I'm at a loss, and google searching like mad isn't helping me...
Solved; Flashed Rooted stock rom, and then did another clean Install of the ROM I was using. Seems to have fixed it.
I'm currently trying to use Adaway 3.1.2 on my G4 (H815 version) but whatever I do, I'm still getting ads popping up all over the place.
My phone is on Marshmallow and rooted. Adaway successfully downloads and applies host files but this doesn't seem to have any impact on ads appearing on various apps that were previously blocked on a different phone. I've tried changing the target hosts file in preferences but this doesn't help.
Is anyone else having problems with Adaway on their G4 with Android 6? Does anyone have any suggesting regarding what I can do to fix this?
Not sure about Android 6, but I'm on 5.1 and the stock settings for AdAway worked just fine.
Hope you figure it out!
Does it work on WiFi? If it does and just not on mobile data check your APN settings.
If the APN uses a proxy then it can stop it working.
For example on my network (o2 in the UK) the wap.o2... settings show ads as they use a proxy but the mobile.o2... settings work just fine as they don't.
Thank you, this is really helpful as it seems to be ok when used over wifi.
I have an enty in under proxy in my APN settings but the phone won't allow me to change it. The settings were entered automatically when I put my sim card in the phone and I can't make changes to them and if I set up a new APN it won't allow me to switch over to it. Argh!
Thanks again. After a lot of Googling and trial and error, I've managed to change my APN settings and Adaway seems to be working when using mobile data.

To add to this... I'm on giffgaff and removed the APN proxy field and my internet is not affected but adaway is also working on mobile data. From what I read, the proxy is only needed for really old phones.
