I had a problem accessing 3G when installing a new rom. After flashing a few roms and finding out that roms were not the issue, as well as applying a few radio updates and changing radios and a google on the internet, I found out what was the problem. The access point was not set up. Defrost's rom based on cyanogen mod had the massive APN List preloaded, hence I never ran into that problem. However, most roms did not.
Here's how to set it up
Creating a new access point
When you need to add another data connection on your phone, obtain the access point name and settings (including username and password if required) from your mobile operator.
1) From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings > Wireless & networks.
2) Tap Mobile networks > Access Point Names.
3) On the APNs screen, press MENU and then tap New APN.
4) On the Edit access point screen, enter the APN settings. Tap an APN setting item to edit it.
5) Go to this site and find your mobile network company name
6) Modify the settings as said
7) Press MENU and then tap Save.
You should now have working 3G!

I thought you already had a thread on this and a mod said to post this in general?
If you think its apn problem, install the rom it works on and then download apn backup and restore. Use that to backup apns and then when you install a rom you want, use the same app to reinstall the apns you backed up.

Good advice, but this doesn't need to be in development.

Due to some mysterious advances in services, suddenly i am getting the following error while opening Google Play market only on mobile WCDMA network but everything is fine when i come on WiFi network:
"Authentication is required. You need to sign in to your Google Account"
I have done following things to solve it but failed:
1. Removing all accounts and re-add them
2. Factory reset
3. Try opening my google account to see if it is blocked?
4. remove and reinsert SIM
Issues are persistent in every Google services namely Google Play, GMAIL, chrome etc.
I am on unrooted Stock ROM and pretty much stuck here.
Please Help!
ASAP

Try creating a new APN -> Thethering & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access point names -> New APN enter a name, same APN and Port Number as your current settings and save( Don't add anything else). and select it as your access point.
eg- name - newapn
APN - ppwap
Port -8080

If you have root and xposed installed then download (x tether) from xposed and enable it in modules.it works flawless.
Do you have your msl or a way to edit your apn?
With msl:
1. Dial ##3283#
2. Go to edit, enter your msl
3. Go to apn settings
4. For bot your LTE and EHRPD apns, scroll down to APN TYPE and add ",dun" to the end. After doing each one make sure to hit save.
5. Your done
Apn editor
Do step 4
If you don't have either, ask your carrier for your msl or find a way to get it.

My msl is 000000 and I am not on sprint...my phone is unlocked and use CDMA internationally and I didn't have these apn settings.
I activate the EVDO by using DFS without using apn settings.
so the wifi hotspot doesn't work for me except that if there is a specific MOD to be done to SecSettings or SystemUI and works in Marshmallow for our sprint device.
Trying to get Pixel XL 8.1 activated on Total Wireless (Verizon MVNO) to work with data (i.e., cellular APN).
Calling and texting work, so I am (almost) certain it is a cellular APN issue.
I go into Settings -> Networks -> Mobile Data -> Advanced -> Access Point Names (i.e., APN), and find nothing on screen, and nothing highlighted.
Stock APN does not work. And, I cannot find anywhere ability to edit or add cellular APN.
I have tried modding the apns-conf.xml file under /system/system/etc (followed by a factory reset to regenerate APN list) to no avail.
Downgrading to Android 8.0 until ability to edit/add cellular APN can be done. Would appreciate any help in getting cellular APN modded under Android 8.1
I got it to activate on Total Wireless (Verizon MVNO) on Android 8.1 by installing 8.0, activating on 8.0 (and confirming data working), and letting the beta 8.1 install via OTA.
Weird result that OTA works to activate, but that factory image does not.
EDIT: I since lost my cellular connection because my 8.1 phone could not show the necessary "TRACFONE.VZWENTP" APN; reverting to 8.0 fixed the cellular APN permanently

On Android 8.1? That's a surprise.
Who is your carrier? And, do you have a carrier SIM, or an MVNO SIM (where you are piggybacking on a Big 4 carrier's towers)?
Using SIMs from my 2x Verizon-based MVNOs, the APNs are hidden. I did not capture screenshots (though I will on 8.1 final).
When I investigated by adb pull-ing the apns-conf.xml file at /system/system/etc to see what was going on, I noticed that there was a new menu item under each of the Verizon MVNO-based APNs, labeled "user_hidden" with "true" and "false" as options. All of the ones having to do with Verizon MVNOs had the label with option "true" (i.e., implying that the APN would be hidden from user, which is what I experienced).
Though I was able to maintain my cellular connection in doing the OTA from 8.0 to 8.1, I since lost it and was unable to get it back (neither network reset nor factory reset worked). So, I reverted to 8.0, and have the stable "TRACFONE.VZWENTP" APN going strong.
It would be a sad day if Google removed the capability of APN editing in 8.1 as another way to lock their phones.

Im using mobitel (sri lanka) and yes im on 8.1. However i didn't update to 8.1 via OTA. I flashed factory images manually. I think this is only for Verizon..However you can ask them about this
How I accomplish this on my Pixel XL (and other phones that have locked apn settings)
This is what I have to do because my carriers apns are not in the Pixel XL's database and wrongly detect them as Verizon.
1. First off you need to have root.
2. After root, you need to hook phone into PC and access adb shell with root permissions.
3. After that.... issue this command
Code:
content query --uri content://telephony/carriers/preferapn
This will tell you which APN your phone is using at this current time. I have found it easiest to edit the APN your phone is using already. You then look where it says "_id=SOME NUMBER"
4. Once you know what number your phones APN settings is using then its time to issue the commands to edit that apn Number field
Replace SOME NUMBER with whatever apn number you are editing. Below is the syntax to edit the most usual apn fields. A good thing to do would be to obtain your APN settings and I may be able to help you find out what fields you need to edit
Code:
content update --uri content://telephony/carriers --where "_id=SOME NUMBER" --bind type:s:"default,dun,mms"
content update --uri content://telephony/carriers --where "_id=SOME NUMBER" --bind user:s:"[email protected]"
content update --uri content://telephony/carriers --where "_id=SOME NUMBER" --bind mmsc:s:"http://mms.whateverwirelss.com"
content update --uri content://telephony/carriers --where "_id=SOME NUMBER" --bind mmsport:s:"whateverport"
This is what works for me 100 percent to get the right APNS in a verizon MVNO or Verizon LRA carrier partners apns programmed into whatever device i want to.

I was hopeful when reading this that I would be able to do this, but in adb shell I get all types of java errors. I'm updated to latest pureNexusADBTools. Are you getting errors trying this on Android 8.1?
I have found an app that is missing from the 8.1 Dev preview and it is, of course, VZWAPN.apk. Placing this file where it would go on 8.0 doesn't work on 8.1.. Best, easy option is fastboot update zip, not fastboot -w update.zip. If anyone has a better or working way to change apn settings for Verizon specific carriers, please lmk.

The java errors would be because you don't have root in the adb shell. IOW - after adb shell, your first command needs to be: su (and on the phone itself, grant su permission)

Thank you very much!!! I've been without data since yesterday because my APN wasn't right an I couldn't edit it as it was greyed out. Thanks to your post (and the multiple examples you threw up) I was able to fix my protocol and have my data back.
If anyone else has data connection issues and stumbles upon this, here's the command I used:
content update --uri content://telephony/carriers --where "_id=SOME NUMBER" --bind protocol:s:"IPV4V6"
This Works for 8.0 and 8.1 Devices
I came up with a new way that solves this issue.....no root required
I have confirmed this working on two Android 8.1 devices that use Verizon MVNO's (Pixel XL and Pixel 2 XL)
1. Turn phone off
2. Take out sim card
3. Boot phone up
4. Enable usb debugging and connect to PC
5. open up an ADB shell (if you dont know how to do this then do some research)
6. enter the command
Code:
am start -a android.intent.action.INSERT content://telephony/carriers --ei simId -1
7. This will open the "Add new APN" activity.
8. Fill in all the APN info you need to and name it whatever you want and then click save in the the menu options up top.
9. Once you save the APN...turn the phone off
10. Insert SIM again
12. Turn phone on and let it boot up.
11. Go to Access point names in settings and select the new APN you added.
Have a good day

Have you or anyone else tried using dialer codes? I got the right APN to show up for Red Pocket Verizon using a dialer code on a G4 Plus with an 8.1 ROM. The APN's can't be added otherwise. I'm looking for someone with Pixel devices to test out this solution with any Verizon MVNO such as Total Wireless.

*#*#4636#*#* is the dialer code. This would be a multi step process though, not just typing in that dialer code. It would involve changing some settings you gain access to with that dialer code, and then resetting apn to default.

No. And now I am truly confused as to what is happening. Let me take a few steps back and describe some of my troubles.
With my Verizon MVNO I initially had a problem where I either had LTE data and texts working but no ability to place phone calls, or I had data working at 3G only with phone calls also working. I assumed this to be some sort of APN issue. Of course I could not edit any or add any new APN's since I was locked out of the ability to do so being on an 8.1 AICP ROM. The MVNO thought I may have messed something up with the SIM to cause these troubles, as I initially tried to activate service by dialing *228. I did that to try and fix a somewhat unrelated issue that they could not immediately resolve for me (trying to get texts and data to work!). At some point they offered to send me a new SIM, which I turned down because at least in my experience, that's rarely, if ever, the real problem.
Eventually I came across that dialer code *#*#4636#*#* and played with several different settings and was able to resolve the problems on my own by doing so. After entering that code, a screen should pop up with several different options. Choosing "phone information" gives you the ability to see some specific information about your phone, how it is connecting to the network, and even more. In my case, I could see I either had "data network type" as LTE with "voice service" as not connected, or "data network type" as "EvDO-rev.A with "voice service as "connected." I don't believe the "preferred network type" was properly set here, but it may have been. It's been a few weeks since I had to do this. Either way, setting it to LTE/CDMA auto (prl) followed by clicking the 3 dot menu and then selecting the radio band menu and setting it to "automatic" seemed to fix the issues with a couple more steps involved. The other steps were to toggle the mobile radio power off and on, then going into the APN settings and doing a reset to default. Once done, the proper APN's were there and everything worked. Please note, the preferred network mode set using the dialer code, can be different than what is in your system settings. In fact, you have a lot more options to choose from by way of the dialer code, or at least I did. In both places though, you should try setting to LTE/CDMA auto and see if it helps with the other steps I just described. With the dialer code menu, you can also try to "trigger carrier provision." I did try that at some point, but it didn't seem to do anything for me.
Now here is where things got really interesting. The thing could be random and ROM specific or dumb luck or anything really. But somehow, while playing with the settings this evening for the purpose of this reply, I gained access to being able to totally edit all APN's and add new ones. It could be ROM related, but I was locked out of the settings before playing with a bunch of different settings combinations that I'm about to describe.
If the first set of steps didn't help you, you can try this or any different combination thereof.
Go to your system settings, and set your devices preferred network type to "Global." Use the dialer code mentioned above, and set the preferred network type to global as well (if it doesn't work, keep trying others), try setting radio band to "automatic" and then toggle mobile radio power off and on, go to your apn settings and do a reset to default, if that doesn't work you can try setting the radio band to "united states." Then toggle mobile radio power off and on again and reset apn settings to default. If that doesn't work keep changing the "preferred network type" to something else while also trying the two different radio band choices. I don't know how it happened exactly, but doing these things somehow gave me the ability to add and save new APN's that I didn't have just a couple of hours ago. Everything also works with the phone as it should, even with the network type set to Global in both places. I'm wondering if anyone else will have any luck trying these things out. If so, I plan to write a better and full guide on my site.

This did work for me to get to my APN settings. Now just getting the right APN settings.
I tried the first setting listed here: https://bestmvno.com/apn-settings/total-wireless-apn-settings/
My phone wouldn't let me us 'dun' as an apn type, so I switched it to 'mms'.
I do have internet and it is nice and speedy, but I can't send picture messages.
Back on the S8 I was able to add "dun" to the end of the apn data profile for tethering but they are grayed out on the S9. I tried shortcut master and while I can get to it I just can't edit it. Anyone know of a way to do so? I'd like to have unlimited tethering and also if there's a way to turn off the throttling that would be great as well.

Nothing yet. As far as I know, you could flash the U firmware and that would allow it. I have been looking through some adb commands as well, trying to see if we could do it that way.
I went to add one and was finally able to select that one I added and I made sure to put the "dun" at the end and so far so good

Tried that. No luck
How are you trying to edit the value? I was able to change it on my Sprint S9+ using Shortcut Master Lite.
There's a thread in the 9+ forum where one person said he had to try several times (using SML) before it actually worked.

I have been trying with Shortcut Master...all grey.
It was editable on Day 1. But not since.

I actually have it working now, using a modified version of the ABD command.
Gonna let it sit for a bit, it it keeps working, I'll post it.
Copying from my post in the other thread about this.

I have tried every random HiddenMenu shortcut, I have tried ADB CMD and trying to rewrite the APN by hand, I have tried going into the settings and going through Mobile Networks, I have tried mounting /system in the recovery menu, I looked into changing the CSC because it's linked to APN locking... I've literally tried it all.
PDANet+, FoxFi, EasyTether, ClockworkMod Tether ... none of them would work. They would automatically be stuck at 2mbps instead of my normal 30 to 40. Hiding tether/hotspot this way was NOT an option at all.
Specifically on my Sprint S9 and another S9+, I had to do it in this order:
1) Open the Shortcut Master Lite and open LTEFunctionalityTest
2) Open LTE APN Setting
3) Open an APN you want to change.
3) If it's greyed out, close everything and then restart from #1.
4) Edit APN Type, add ",dun" to the end.
5) When done editing, save, and you should be good to go.
If that doesn't work even after trying repeatedly (make sure Shortcut Master Lite is completely closed, etc) ... then you can try the following which allowed me to edit the APN on a sister Sprint S9+ phone:
1) Dialer App, ##3282# (DATA)
2) Edit
3) Sprint MSL for mine is 000000
4) APN Settings
5a) "APN" and "APN protocol" should be editable. Make a minor change, save your APN.
5b) Then change them back, save the APN again. Do this for each APN you want full access to.
6) Open the Shortcut Master Lite and open LTEFunctionalityTest
7) Open LTE APN Setting
8) If it's greyed out, close everything and then restart from #6.
9) Edit APN Type, add ",dun" to the end.
10) After you finish editing, save, and you should be good to go.
Note: You might want to do this for both APNs as one is for LTE & one is for Roaming.
Consider this working on a Sprint S9+ & Sprint S9 Snapdragon SM-G960U - 8.0.0 Oreo Build Feb 10th

I had to do this a third time after Factory Resetting my phone, the second set of steps let me do this very quickly.
Do not update your PRL or Profile in System Update, this will wipe out your changes.
This..............
1) Dialer App, ##3282# (DATA)
2) Edit
3) Sprint MSL for mine is 000000
4) APN Settings
5a) "APN" and "APN protocol" should be editable. Make a minor change, save your APN.
5b) Then change them back, save the APN again. Do this for each APN you want full access to.
6) Open the Shortcut Master Lite and open LTEFunctionalityTest
7) Open LTE APN Setting
8) If it's greyed out, close everything and then restart from #6.
9) Edit APN Type, add ",dun" to the end.
10) After you finish editing, save, and you should be good to go.
That worked for me...to a T!
Thanks!

Using this method, APN is not editable for me. But the Shortcut Master Lite method worked fine. Maybe this would work if I hadn't already changed it via SML?

Trying to get hotspot bypass working... PDAnet works, but is spotty. I have edited my APN's successfully (I had to rename before I could edit). As well as added the ADB commands. I sort of have hotspot working...
When I disable M.data and enable hotspot AND am connected to WiFi, it enables and allows me to re-enable M.data. Hotpot will continue to work indefinately.... until I leave the WiFi connection. Then the Sprint M.data connects and tells me i am not subscribed to Hotspot service. If I am not in a WiFi area when I re-enable M.data, then it instantly goes to the hotspot subscription error.
EDIT: I just reconnected my phone to check settings in adb. The settings were reset to defaults:
tether_dun_required is '1'
tether_dun_apm is 'null'
If you turn on tethering while connected to wifi, you're not really tethering. You're just sharing the WiFi connection.

I could not share the WiFi connection before I added dun to the APNs.
The real problem appears to be that the ADB settings edits are being reset somehow.
not working with Android 9 (PIE) update
Has any been able to figure out how to open the com.test.LTEfunctionality on Android Pie
I was able to edit the apn before using Quick Shortcut maker but now the com.test.LTEfunctionality cannot be opened.
Any update?
has anybody informed the developer of the app that it needs to be updated for PIE?
