[Search] Registry values for APN

Hi Gurus.
Iam searching a way to change with an application of mine the APN on my phone.
Did anyone find this already?
Thanks for help.

interested in one. i know its hidden somewhere in the registry.

Which APN are you referring to? The GPS APN or the Carrier APN setting?
If its carrier APN, its stored on the Phone Modem if my memory serves right.
I can write a small App for both, if you want (using the AT command). Unfortunately, it will be only for Dell Venue Pro.

That will be great, I need to access the APN setting on my Venue Pro, and I can't right now.
Thanks.

Just curious, can't you do that under the 'Add APN' option under the Settings->Cellular ?

Yes, that's what I do now.
But, I use Simple Mobile (a sub-lease of T-Mobile) and when I need anything that uses data, it takes a long time to connect, once it connects it goes fast. I tried using a T-Mobile sim and everything was fast, I have used my sim on a HD2 with WM6.5, android and WP7 and it was also fast, which made me think that since the T-Mobile APN settings are coded in the phone (because it is a locked phone) it tries to connect to T-Mobile first every time and only after that it uses my APN and it is driving me crazy.
I hope you can help.
Thanks.

Lg v30/v30+ free hotspot (no root or msl required)

Edit: If you want this edit on the Oreo update (I just received it today) you must add the APN before updating. They have remove the button to add a new APN.
If it is added before you update it will stick!
I have only tested this on my sprint V30+ and am assuming it also works on the Sprint V30 and probably also the G6 but i cannot test them
also this should work on all the providers that require dun be active in the apn.
Even though the apns are locked(grayed out) and we cannot edit them they still allow us to add new ones.
so i tried adding an new apn with all the same settings as the default "internet" apn but adding in ,dun.
Worked Flawlessly! hotspot activated no hesitation.
Those of you who have other providers an wanna try you will need to get your default APN.
If your on sprint yours is probably the same as mine so you may skip to step #2.
Step #1
To view your current apn settings without your msl you open the dialer and type in ##debug# (##33284#) to open the hidden debug menu.
click on "Active APN Connections" and click on the default internet APN (Mine is titled "internet").
you can view all the settings but once again you cannot edit but right down your settings and then move on to step #2.
Step #2
now that you have your APN settings open settings and click More - Mobile networks - Access Point Names.
hit the 3 dot settings icon then hit add APN.
For Sprint only change the fallowing items leave everything else alone.
Name - hotspot (this can be anything you want)
APN - x.ispsn
Username - null
Password - null
APN type - default,mms,dun
APN protocol - IPv4/IPv6
others who decide to try this add all your settings in but like always add ",dun" to "APN type"
Now hit the 3dot menu again and save and thats it you should now see your new APN in the list of locked ones.
you do not have to do anything else in that menu just go turn on your hotspot and enjoy.
This method also holds through reboots.
Also...
Even though it is not grayed out you still cannot edit the new APN. if you make a mistake or just wanna make adjustments
you must hit Restore default settings in the 3dot menu and start all over again.
Edit
If Restore default settings does not show up in your menu after adding a new APN you can still reset them by typing ##scrtn# into your dialer an hit ok

The option for restoring defaults only shows up after you have added an APN

Hmm that is strange tell me is yours leased or under an installment plan?
I'm wandering cause mine is uicc unlocked due to mine being bought outright I'm just curious if that makes a difference.
Also may try ##scrtn# in your dialer it's suppose to reset your network don't know if that includes apn or not

Mine is leased actually.. But I did follow your instructions to get hotspot working and it seems to be working. However something strange is happening. My daughter connected her phone to my hotspot and works as it should but with her tablet it connects fine but no data seems to be transfering.. just weird..

So that may be what is different... and as for it not working
I had the same issue when I first figured this out I was at work testing it with my buddies phone and it would connect but no internet seemed to go through but then I went to hotspot settings and changed it to 5 GHz and it worked fine I changed it back to 2.4 right after and it worked fine from then on even on his phone (I wanted mine in 2.4 GHz because my car does not support 5 GHz )

I bought mine outright but they won't unlock it. Sprint said it has to be on their network for 50 days before they will unlock it. How did you get yours unlocked? I'm calling back today 50 days is ridiculous..

question...does this work with T-Mobile to bypass the speed limitation for included HotSpot?

Had to do the reset.. my phone started acting funny with error messages and data would stop working after a while after changing the apn to get hotspot working... Just strange..

I am on the T-Mobile business plans. It does not seem to do anything for me.
Default APN: 20.45down/2.89up (Mbps)
DUN APN: 18.86/4.69
Do you want to test it and compare with my result?

XZ2 Compact APNs Locked?

I've been using my XZ2 Compact on Verizon since it was released. No issues. Switched to Total Wireless today, and my internet will not work. Voice and text works fine. Total Wireless operates on Verizon's network. This SIM card works fine when I put it into a Google Pixel.
My APN settings are locked (there is no "+" button). Automatically updating the APN settings adds a Verizon profile that is totally different than the one that automatically popped up on my Pixel. I can delete the existing APN profile, but I cannot add one. I've restarted the phone many times, both while connected to WiFi and not. I get internet back immediately if I reboot with the Verizon SIM.
I've searched around the interwebs, and I cannot find anything. Any help would be appreciated.

I use another mvno and the part that's most important is 'apn name' when using an mvno mine has to be set to say reseller... Have you tried pressing download internet settings? That usually fixes the problem and bring back the plus or allow you to manually change the apn setting after it downloads it. Take it you aren't using the dual sim as sometimes switching the Sims around brings back the apn menu.

Thanks for the insight. I have tried downloading settings several times, it just bring back the "VZWINTERNET" APN.
It is a single SIM US model.
I have not tried renaming the APN. That is the one thing I can edit on it.

Does total wireless publish the apn settings? Sometimes ios/android uses slightly different settings. Just look at what apn name should be, and try to match it up..

I can't believe it! Changing APN Name to "TRACFONE.VZWENTP" is all that was needed. Thanks a bunch!

Galaxy watch LTE - disabling eSIM on non supported market

Hey guys,
I found LTE unlocked variant for the price of BT (30€ more). ESIM is not supported here so I still cant use the full functionality but I'd buy it just for those 1.5gb memory if not anything else.
Does anyone know if its forcing you to "insert" esim because wouldn't like to have constant popups saying insert sim/no network., or can network connectivity be somehow disabled and normally used as BT/wifi edition until the operators support the LTE?
Thanks,

Maybe if you turn on Airplane mode, then switch on BT and WiFi manually.

Thanks - I actually didn't know that was possible on either Tizen or Android :good:

Maybe this info is useful....
TizenOS allows you to activate airplane mode, but from what I've seen you still need a SIM card in an LTE unit. There may or may not be a way around this yet; all the Telephony packages seemed pretty concerned about checking the SIM card constantly and throwing errors whenever it was missed. Lucky for us the Telephony is left at Partner level, so with an SDB shell you should be able to just type something like:
Code:
sdb shell uninstall org.tizen.telephony-syspopup*
and the nags should cease to be forever. Not sure if that's exactly the right command string to work, but I'll check when I get the chance to.
Hope this helps.

You can simply disable LTE connectivity in the setup Menu, like Wifi or NFC. Before i activated the eSIM on my watch i didn't get any pop up or message to activate the eSIM. So i would say it is no problem to use the watch without the eSIM. With disabled LTE it works exactly like the BT model.

Thanks, however I went to the Tmobile store today to try to look through the settings to see how to disable LTE but I couldn't find it and the salesperson didn't know either. Would you be able to post a screenshot of how to disable LTE? Thanks!

So I bought a LTE watch and found the place to disable mobile networks.
In Settings, go to "Connections" -> "Mobile networks". Anyway, its off by default when I purchased the watch, and I can confirm that I've never had a single pop-up message asking me to activate.
I purchased the LTE version of the watch in the US directly from the Samsung website.

Hi, It is an esim, so techically it is already 'inserted' in your device. You don't have to set up a connection if you don't have to, just use the watch like the BT version. There won't be any popups or errors. Just switch off mobile data completely under settings, as it eats battery like nothing.

I am also interested if there is any difference in battery life between a Galaxy Watch Bluetooth anbd a Galaxy Watch LTE but with "Mobile Networks" off in the setting menu.
I'm basically wondering if there is any additional drain from the LTE services that run in the background even if the setting menu says LTE should be off. If so, I would like to know if I could turn off those background services to extend battery!

Mine was off by default, but I do not have service on my watch, so that may be why. As people have already said its a eSim(embeddedSim), so its not able to be removed, and wont hurt anything by being there.

Compatible Data Carriers in Canada

So I just got the phone yesterday, and I noticed that data on it didn't work, but calling and texting did. My data plan is under Rogers, so I went to a Rogers Wireless store, and they couldn't make data work, as it apparently couldn't connect to their APN. I was wondering if this was a software issue, where it wouldn't accept an APN from any service provider, or if the phone just doesn't work with Roger's data specifically?
Also, if anyone in BC has gotten the data working on their Red Magic 5G, how did you do that, and what's your service provider?

Try again. Im on Videotron in Quebec, took me several tries to finally to get to save the apn. Roaming data for Videotron is on Rogers network. Tested and working in Ontario.
Although, carriers in BC might use other lte bands. ?

Working without any hassle or need to setup the APN configuration with Public Mobile on their LTE network.
There were some mentioning the APN setup page isn't clear, especially is you're using dark mode.
Rogers APN settings should be readily available so you can edit/input yourself.

You need to use an app called MyNewAPN to add the APN settings. For whatever reason you can't do it through the APN menu.
