replying to myself to say I have solved this. you don't set apns on cdma networks. Apparently the first activation just didn't 'take' fully, contacting straight talk sorted it out.

Upgraded my Galaxy s2 to 4.0.3 Now I can't delete the t-mobile APN

Hey guys I use simple mobile and everything was working fine until I updated the firmware to 4.0.3 with KIES
Now for some reason I can't delete the T-Mobile default APN
I can't delete, or EDIT the t-mobile APN, even tried resetting APN's to default
I tried downloading APN BACKUP AND RESTORE but it says it won't work for android 4+
It keeps switching back to t-mobile APN! Please help me!

Sorry to be unclear.. I did make a new apn, but the problem is, my phone keeps switching to the T-Mobile APN randomly...

I choose the Simple Mobile one and I have no problem but yes you are right it wont delete but its not a big deal. I just redid mine on Friday before switching to T-Mobile over the wknd... Fyi - I got to 2 gigs and they shut me down
So you have a new Simple apn and you choose it and then rebooted and on reboot it changes back to T-Mobile? Correct?

My friend its ok if you load up CM9 it puts in extra APN's for you so its not a big deal to have it there or change it. Actually no real need to look at it after you make the change. I told you I tried to delete mine after upgrading and it did not allow me to so I just added a new one. I am not sure why just adding a new one and using that is bothering you or am I missing something?

I'm not sure if you are still having this problem or not, but I understand the problem you are having and I just found a fix last night.
If you download APN Global, it will let you delete the T-Mobile APN.
I'm pretty sure this has now fixed that hateful issue!
To everyone else that didn't understand the problem:
the t-mobile apn was not editiable, not deletable, and there was no option to make Simple apn the default
randomly and at times VERY OFTEN, the apn would switch back to t-mobile which would make internet unusable and you wouldn't find out until you tried to use it. Then you would have to go through the settings and switch the apn back. This might happen 10 times in a few minutes or 10 times in an hour or two.

Need help switching EVO 4G to US Cellular... voice works.. no data.. help!

Trying to get data on my EVO that is activated through US Cellular. I'm having a hell of a time. I think it may be the build.prop at this point but I am not sure.
adampristel @ gmail.com on gtalk or i'll watch this thread.
Has anyone done this before? or is there a rom that is cooked for USC?
Any input helps.
Thanks!

Have you had any luck figuring this out? I pieced together how to flash my evo myself to work on U Prepaid (which uses US Cellular equipment and service) but have hit a wall trying to get data and mms working. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Okay guys let's see what we can do. I do know that somethings in build.prop might need to change. When you flashed did you use epst or qpst?

[Q] Flashed custom ROM and now mobile data wont work (NET10)

I installed SHOstock3 ROM onto my I777 yesterday. After messing around with my phone, I found a few errors but the most pressing is no mobile data. My plan was through AT&T but now its through NET10. I entered in a new APN with NET10s settins (tfdata) but no dice. I have read on this forum that I might have to delete the 3 AT&T APNs that are listed but I cant delete them.
I triple checked my APN settings for NET10 but still no dice. Must I flash the modem?
Thanks.
do you have cell service at all

Connect to mobile data. Full signal, correct APN settings through NET10

I had an APN setup that was close to that but I didnt have any proxies in. My OEM ROM didnt need them but I see that this custom ROM does. I need to do more testing but the quick test that I did showed 3G and H+. OEM ROM showed 4G all the time from what I can remember. Thank you!

I believe when sms is converted to mms, it then runs off the data line. I dunno what to tell this guy. If he says he checked his settings and they are okay then I dunno. Double check with net10, if not then just sick it up and move over to metro or redpocket, maybe another mvno.
He shouldn't get all prissy over forum rules. We're all dealt with it. Keeps the people asking for a hand out away.

Sounds easy to me, find the right MMS proxy. I looked at the link I gave him for possibles, no fricking clue which one he referencing as soft of working.
I saw four different ones.

Stock messaging works (SMS) but if I try to send an MMS with the stock messaging program, it never goes through. I have never tried another program. I had hangout for a while but I got rid of it.

But web surfing works ???
You most likely need to find the right MMS proxy server and it's port. Most likely it's 80, I haven't seen one that's been 8080 in a while.
Is mms one if the things in the "apn type" field?

What the hell try adding these...
MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS Port: 80
And like mindmajick asked, is there anything in your APN TYPE? Most of the examples I see for NET10 say leave it as not set.

I set the MMS proxy as you said but still no dice. APN TYPE was MMS but is now blank. Still nothing.
When you flashed your custom ROM, you may have nuked your APN settings!
As the title says, I think your problem may be related to custom ROMs wiping out APN settings that may have come from the store (or put in by Net10 upon activation/initialization of the phone), and if that's the case, I think I can help you!
I've just gotten done activating (read: porting), configuring, flashing with custom ROMs, and setting up APN settings on 4 unlocked phones that we brought to Net10 (on AT&T's network, via the BYOP program, since these are unlocked GSM/WCDMA phones), I believe I can assist you here.
Rather than trying random combinations of APN settings to try and find one that works, if you call Net10 Customer Support (877-836-2368), all you have to do (once you tell them your phone number/SIM serial number) is ask for someone who can assist you in updating the APN settings for unlocked phones.
You'll be transfered to a different section of Net10's/Tracfone's Technical Support, and whoever picks up will likely tell you they can assist you once you repeat what it is you need help with. They'll tell you the usuals (make sure WiFi, Bluetooth, and Airplane Mode are off, and make sure Cellular Data is enabled, but not Cellular Roaming Data), and then they'll tell you to go down into your SIM/Mobile Network settings screen, and create a New APN. They'll read off the settings they should have, and they they will (or if they don't, you should ask them to "resend the switch and update the settings on their end" in those _exact_ terms, as they've cut the times for this from 3 hours to less than 30 minutes per phone for me).
Then they'll tell you to select the new APN settings, and reboot the phone (or turn it off and back on if your ROM doesn't have a reboot option); they'll have you attempt to open a browser and pull a page down (I highly suggest a mobile site of some sort, being that they're the lightest; it'll either work here or not, there is no "to what degree does it work"). If it doesn't work, they'll give you different settings (though it's not taken more than two APN setting tries for me, and that's mainly because of the area I live in), and then try the browser again. Once the browser is able to pull a mobile site, they'll ask you to try sending a picture message (again, I reccommend a small picture, as it either works or doesn't, so the size will only hold you up longer the bigger it is), even if it's just to yourself.
I've found that if you're simply respectful and paitent with them (as they sometimes have to spend 10 minutes putting various bits of data into other spots on their computers), they will be able to get it done for you within half an hour per phone.
I would highly reccommend that you don't mention your custom ROM however; so long as it doesn't interfere with the APN settings they will never know any better when you tell them you just have a "Samsung Galaxy Note II", and they'll be none the wiser as they fix it for you (because it realistically makes no difference in a problem like this).
If you mention it however, they won't want to help, because they don't know anything about custom ROMs (it seems they're all very terrified of them, and believe they are the spawn of Pewdiepie and Justain Beiber or something similar! XD)
Hoping I've been able to help you here, since I've extremely recent knowledge/experiences to do with the APN settings myself! (Also post whoring as I apparently need 10 before I can let the developers of my custom ROM know about some bugs I've found, go figure!)
If I'm incorrect on the issue, then I'm terribly sorry, and please feel free to ignore me -- I do not claim to be affialiated with Net10, Samsung, whatever ROM you have/whoever wrote/maintains it, etc., and am only trying to be helpful where your problem sounds like something I've dealt with before.
EDIT: I just realized I left out the most important bit! The entire reason for calling them instead of working through all the various permutations of APN setting combos is because your APN settings will be based on [A] your SIM, your phone (NOT ROM, just the phone's IMEI pairing to the SIMs), and [C] your home area/location you use the phone most often.

T-Mobile Note 3 on ATT APN problem

I have been using a SM-N900T on the ATT network by changing the APN settings, and it has been working perfectly until today. I have no internet connection, but it shows full bars, and I can still call and text. I've tried restoring to a earlier NANDROID, and even went to an ATT store and had the guy (who happened to know exactly what I did and has done it himself for his phone) try to fix it, but nothing has worked.
I posted this in the AT&T section too, but no luck so far. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Same here both with AT&T and T-Mobile. All you need to do is call nearest store and ask if they're experiencing network problems.

LS991 on T-Mobile MMS not working, APN help?

Hello Everyone,
So we finally said bye-bye to sprint and are trying to use our Sprint LS991 G4s on sprint.
We are on android 6.0, software ZVB, and are unlocked.
We can make calls, use sms, interenet, but MMS will not work.
I have been using HiddenMenuCall apk and trying every configuration/ guide/ apn settings I can find but still no luck. I did find where someone say they set there phone to "global" and they got mms to work, but that post was years old with no explanation.
If any of you know the magic settings needed to get this to work I would greatly appreciate it!
Additionally, it seems that something I did changed my cell status from LTE to E ( I never saw that before in the years I have had the phones)
Also, in my newly created T-Mobile APN, the phone keeps trying to rewrite the MMSC and MMS Proxy to sprint ones.

I can't remember Mate it's been forever since I've had a g4. I would attribute both issues to the apn not being set. So that would imo be the next step or thing to look into is why the apn is not sticking.

So after fooling with certain options I can send and receive MMS only if BOTH wifi is on and I have a LTE connection. Strange, huh?
If wifi is off, it does not work
If wifi is on and no LTE, it does not work
No wifi, does not work
Any ideas anyone???

A lot of carriers have opted to be able to send MMS over wifi so that's that. You might try a 3rd party app. In the past when I couldn't get apn proper I would use textra. might even try the newest android messenger. A lot of them have turned on this rcs messaging so that may work.
Normal as long ads the apn is setup day like mine is name. Internet. Apn NDO. as long as those are set LTE sometimes will work. I remember there being a hidden menu and we could set the apn in that one. But not the normal settings apn menu. I don't remember the dialer. Some one had a app lg hidden menu or something. It's in the sprint lgg4 sim unlock thread. Or should be. That's how I did it on mine

That explains the wifi working- weird that I can't get it t work over cell.
Since it works over wifi, I know the phone is capable....grrrrrr! I am sure it is some setting somewhere!
Thank you for the link to the hidden menu apk . I actually found it linked in another post of yours from years ago, lol:highfive:

So I am wondering if I apply MellowMallow ZVB Rom if any settings will be changed that will make things work. Maybe the International version (although I do not know if that will mess things up). I am also wondering if that will get visual voicemail working without using tmobile's app.
