Cannot find APN settings - LG Optimus G Pro

I purchased a used E980 that had been upgraded to 5.0.2. I am on consumer cellular and need to change my APN settings, but under settings it has and area for wireless & networks, but there is nothing there about APNs, just a place to turn on data connection and set data limit. Where are the network settings on this phone with 5.0.2?
Thanks
I found where they were hiding.

[Q] Seems like my 3G isn't working

I bought this phone brand new, everything was wrapped in its cellophane. I asked the seller if this was in fact a 3G phone to use in Europe because I needed the UMTS 2100. The box itself writes " HSPA/WCDMA 900/2100 " Greece runs on UMTS 2100....When I try to use the internet search engine it says "There is no Network connection right now". I check my Mobile Network settings and Data Roaming is checkmarked. Network mode has GSM/WCDMA set to auto. Network Operators states Greece Cosmote.
What haven't I checked to make the connection?
I do believe this is Euro/Asia version because it has like 7 different English languages for Asia (Singapore/Malaysia/Vietnam etc...) When I changed the Bluetooth name, the default was HTC Vision (which is the UK name of this product)
Check in settings/wireless&networks/mobile networks/ and make sure that "Use only 2g networks" is not checked.
I don't have that option.
In the Mobile Network Settings screen I have
Data Roaming (Checked)
Data Roaming Sound (checked)
Access Point Names
Network Mode (GSM / WCDMA (Auto)
Network Operators (GR Cosmote)
Enable Always-on Mobile Data (checked)

Are you saying that you only have a 2G/EDGE connection or that you have no data connection at all? From the thread title, I thought the former, but from what you are describing, it sounds like the latter. If it is the case that you have no data connection whatsoever, check to make sure your APN settings are correct for your network provider.
Where do I go to check the APN setting....I found an APN screen but it is completely blank....How can I add parameters to that screen?

No APN = No Data, I would try googling the Greece Cosmote APN data settings first.
UPDATE: I tried to google the APN settings for you but "ITS ALL GREEK TO ME".....lol J/K, but not.

Okay....I am getting the hang of the Android OS now...sorry...I am a migrant from Win 6.5...
I got the info from a website for the service provider....it seems it wants an IP address to be inputted where it says DNS...the problem is I don't see a place that says DNS....does that go under the "Server" area?
Try here maybe:

EDIT: woops think this is what you just said no DNS right, What about "proxy" do you have that? Try it in the proxy field.

Got it so far....for the proxy there are two listed....."Proxy" and "MMS Proxy" which one does the IP address go under?

Are you asking if you should put DNS under the proxy or mms proxy fields? No, these are different things. Have you tried inputting all of the other settings except for DNS and seeing if it worked? Most carriers will work without you setting the DNS (it's pulled in by your phone dynamically).
In most cases, you need to put nothing more than the APN (and username/password if required). For MMS to work, you'll also need to find your carrier's MMSC, MMS proxy, and MMS port.
it seems like I finally got it to work. I had to switch a few parameters around...Had to call the phone company. I love this phone. I wanted the physical keyboard but the on screen landscape keyboard is proving to be just as effective.
Thanks to everyone who helped

[Q] No data-roaming with Android 4.1 ROM

Hello,
i installed the Jellybean 4.1 JRN84D rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737849 on my GN - now i was abroad and roaming worked fine but i did not get any data connection. Of course i enabled data roaming.
Is there any known Problem with data roaming?
(I have the european GSM version)
thanks
In "settings/More..." is "Mobile Network Settings" "Mobile Networks" where can enable Data, Data roaming, 2G only, etc, and then "Data Usage" in Settings where you can put 3G on which won't work abroad (at least for me..)
As said of course i enabled data and data roaming. I will be abroad again next week then i can check if the issue is the same with the current 4.1.1 doedexed ROM and if enabling "only 2G" helps as workaround.

I have been struggling with the same problem for a week but turns out that the image copied had the wrong APN settings! All you have to do to get data roaming working is going to Settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names then google your carriers APN settings and change them to it! This should make it work
contact with your carrier, they may know that, or change a rom to test if it is the problem of the rom!

[Q] VS985 G3 Running 5.0 CloudyG3 2.4 won't utilize LTE

For some odd reason I can still get SMS and Calls but I cannot connect to the internet except through Wifi. I noticed while on the play store that I don't have a Carrier[1] even though i'm obviously registered with Verizon Wireless.
I attempted to find the APN settings although CloudyG3 Completely re-arranged the network settings and I can't find it. I found something similar[2] under the mobile networks[3] tab (Settings> Tethering & Networks> Mobile Networks> Network Mode) but i'm not sure too if that is APN or not. (If someone knows please let me know)
I had Full LTE connection available yesterday before I flashed CloudyG3. I also had this problem when I attempted to flash Jasmine 7.0 and failed. My friend fixed it by doing something with the location services but I'm not sure what it was.
Network settings[4]
TL;DR LTE is not activated, can still send SMS and Voice Call. Phone is not registered under a carrier.
Enable Data Roaming and see if that works.
Tried that, nothing
Thanks for the suggestion

[Q] APN, Network Type, and Stable signal connections

A while back ago I had to root my SGH-I747 model AT&T GS3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/help/help-solving-unfortunately-settings-t3199987
Now I'm running off a I747UCUFNJ2 bootloader and modem. I have access to my AT&T phone service and LTE service but now run into the problem of having it turn off and on especially when I go out to drive from place to place.
I sometimes change the preferred network type to different ones and that temporarily helps until it turns off again. I have read that Access Point Names (APN's) also affect signal connections to the network but not entirely sure how to optimize the settings.
I currently use the default ATT LTE APN.
I appreciate any help and info on this topic.

LG-D851 No mobile data after usb tethering

I have a T-Mobile branded LG G3 on T-Mobile's network. I was using usb tethering while testing a mother board about a week ago, and after disconnecting my mobile data connection wouldn't work. I got it working after a couple of days by partially putting in a dummy apn setting. When I say a dummy apn, I mean that I only gave an APN name, and "fast.t" for the APN, not even the full address. When switching to this apn, my lte connection immediately popped up and things seemed fine. But after a few days I realized that I'm unable to send mms messages. Text messages have worked, but no mms. I've tried entering the complete apn settings, and now I have no data connection at all. I've tried resetting network connections, and that didn't help either.When resetting, I have the default T-Mobile LTE apn, and another EDGE MMS apn, but the EDGE MMS apn has no way to select it. It's just there, and neither allow modifications. I'm running 6.0 stock, rooted, and TWRP recovery. I've made no system modifications beyond root and recovery. Anyone know of some suggestions? I haven't come across any apn issues resembling my specific issue from other users.
