[APN config] Beta testers wanted for new APN configuration procedure

Hello everyone,
This thread is for those of you who have manually edited their APNs to increase data speeds. In my APN thread, every once in a while I see a complaint where the user says the "Phone" APN (which is the 2nd APN) will not stay selected. Historically I've been telling people to reboot their phone and try again, or try adding a 3rd APN (for some reason when a 3rd APN is entered, the 2nd one will usually stick). I have seen this problem myself. There may be a more elegant and effective way to prevent this issue, which is what this new thread is all about.
I took another look at the default APN config in the stock updated ROM (the OTA HSUPA update that came out at the end of April), and noticed that the "Phone" APN (which is the APN that provides the faster speeds in some markets) is listed first. As most of you already know, this APN is missing from all custom DHD/Inspire ROMs, which is what prompted this procedure in the first place. For simplicity, my APN procedure (up until now) has been telling people to just add the "Phone" APN as the 2nd one. Speed wise, it doesn't matter which order the APNs are in, just as long as the "Phone" APN is selected and stays selected, but some people have trouble with the selection reverting back to the 1st (slow) APN, sometimes later on without their knowledge. In this new procedure that is listed below, it tells how to delete all your APNs so you can start from scratch, and then add the fast "Phone" APN first, to ensure it will always be selected since it is listed first. The 2nd APN is merely for MMS. This APN layout is the same as the stock ROM.
This procedure "should" work on all ROMs, but that's why I'm asking for beta testers to see what problems arise. I want to get some feedback before officially updating my APN thread in the dev section. Anyone that performs this beta procedure and provides feedback, I will click on their "thanks" button.
Standard warnings apply: make a nandroid backup before making this change, etc. Messing with your APNs is messing with your data connection, but everyone should know that already.
Step 1. Delete all APNs:
Press Menu button --> Settings --> Wireless and networks --> Mobile networks --> Access Point Names
Press the left side of your 1st APN to go into the settings of this APN, then press Menu>>Delete APN.
Repeat this process for any other APNs you have. The goal is to delete all APNs so we can start from scratch.
Now do the next steps in the same order as below:
Step 2. Create a new APN (Menu>>New APN) with these settings, everything is case sensitive. This will be your 1st APN:
Name: MEdiaNet
APN: Phone
MMS protocol (if applicable): WAP 2.0
MCC: (don't change this number)
MNC: (don't change this number)
APN type: default,admin (notice there is no space on either side of the comma)
APN protocol (if applicable): IPv4
everything else: <Not set>
Press Menu>>Save. You will now be back at the initial APN screen.
Step 3. Create a new APN (Menu>>New APN) with these settings. This will be your 2nd APN:
Name: MMS
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
Username: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cinguar.com
MMS port: 80
MMS protocol (if applicable): WAP 2.0
MCC: (don't change this number)
MNC: (don't change this number)
APN type: mms,supl (notice there is no space on either side of the comma)
APN protocol: IPv4
APN protocol (if applicable): IPv4
everything else: <Not set>
Press Menu>>Save.
You will now be back at the initial APN screen again. Make sure the 1st APN (named MEdiaNet) is selected (via the round radio button on the right side). Your data connection will drop for a few seconds.
We're done. Let me know if you have any problems. If for some reason you notice your speeds are slower or faster, this is due to the normal wide variance in AT&T network speeds. If you were already using the custom APN config, there is absolutely no reason why this APN config would slow you down or speed you up; all we're doing is changing the order of them.
If you need to revert back to your default APN config, from the APN selection screen just press menu and select "Reset to default". Or worst case scenario, simply restore your nandroid backup.
Confirmed working: Virtuous Unity, CM7, NINJA-0706, HoneyGen

If you posted this yesterday, I would've been first in line to experiment. But I've finally stabilized my data speeds after countless days & hours of tweaking (using your methods, and others I've found around here).
Have you ever experimented with [email protected] (as opposed to [email protected])? This has given me better speeds, both when I was stock and on a custom ROM.
EDIT: I've read through your entire thread and don't remember if someone else had the same problem or not. When using the two APNs method, my connection would drop temporarily (always reconnected within a few seconds though) sometimes. Is this something you've seen happen?

Ill give this a shot! Always helping people out

No worries. As the old saying goes, "don't fix what ain't broke". Especially if the road to stability was a long one.

I just tried it and saw no difference. In theory, this shouldn't affect anything speed wise, since this username is only located in the APN used for MMS (when using the dual APN config). Maybe you've been experiencing the normal crazy AT&T speed inconsistencies, and it was just a coincidence that your speeds were faster when using the alternate username? Just a thought.

Personally I've never seen this issue. My phone doesn't normally drop its connection, regardless whether I'm on 1 or 2 APNs (unless I'm in a very low signal area of course). Sounds like your ROM didn't like having its APNs messed with, or something else was going on. Hard to tell.
Thanks for your feedback BTW.

@XAviierG, bcd420, biglittlegato - thanks guys!!!
biglittlegato, if you're willing to test on multiple ROMs then go for it! I won't stop you. I'll thank you every chance I get.

Rockin the new settings now. Will try mms next. Coverage is spotty here, will know more once I get her back home.
Edit: mms works. So far data is much slower. Will try next to the good tower after work.

Cool, thanks for the update. This new APN layout definitely shouldn't cause any slowdowns, so you were probably just experiencing some slowness in your area.

Where I work I bounce from 0-4 bars of EDGE to 0-2 bars of HSPA while sitting still. There is a tower in town where I typically get 3 to 4 mbps down and have seen as high as 5.5 down. My typical uploads are 1 to 1.5 mbps. Since the APN change I am getting 500 kbps down with 150 kbps up. I'm sitting about 3 miles from the good tower. I'll report back after I run some tests closer to the good tower. I figure I'll run this setup for a couple of days and then try again with a different rom.

I just installed ClearDroid 1.1.4 and I don't think this is going to work. The first APN is locked (wap.cingular) and there is no way to delete it. Nothing happens when you press menu, just the keyboard from a long press of it.

Yeah I forgot that some ROMs have a locked APN, so this procedure will only work on the less restrictive ROMs. Thanks for checking though.

[Q] T-Mobile USA Data APN Settings for Sensation?

After changing ROMS, I've noticed my data speeds have slowed down quite a bit and I am doing a little troubleshooting to try and figure out the problem. I'm still on the stock radio. Would someone be kind enough to post what the default data APN settings loaded on the Sensation are for T-Mobile USA? Thanks!

So, I'm flashing a bunch of different apps trying to figure this thing out. I loaded the latest MIUIJB and still my mobile data was jumping in and out, quickly.
In the APN settings, I noticed my "Type" was different than the above. My "Type" just said "default,supl,mms" When I added "admin,dun,hipri" it connected. Maybe coincidence? Dunno. Now I'm flashing back to Bruce's CM10 (9/28). Will check then...hopefully it'll be the fix for my specific situation (yes, I'm dreaming...).
UPDATE: Installed Bruce's CM10 (9/28) and mobile data is still working...APN "type" is listed as "default,supl,mms" only.

It's probably a coincidence.
I will tell you that I've had the data problem with the Type set at default,supl, admin,hipri,mms
The only thing different in this version is adding 'dun'. I just did that too for kicks because I'm curious about any possible fix. But I'd bet that it's either just a coincidence that the data just started working for you after that or what really fixed it was that you messed with the APN settings at all which forced the connection with the tower to reset. I've had that same issue where I've messed with APN settings and data mysteriously started working again too.
But keep testing data for 10-14 days and see if you get the instability again. I will too. If we don't then the 'dun' setting is the key.
I don't think we'll find that's the ultimate sollution thought.

Did adding "dun" seem to help you at all?
My data was working perfectly fine when I re-flashed 9/28 (and it only had "default,supl,mms") but then I got greedy and flashed 10/1. Data is back on the fritz...

My data wasn't broken at the time I added the 'dun'. So I have no idea if it helped or not. I try to save these 'fixes' until my data breaks to see if any show immediate results but I didn't this time.
Flashing the new build has triggered the break fro me in the past, but it comes back within a few hours.
What shouldn't happen when you flash an update (if you don't do a full wipe) is changes to your APN settings. Whatever changes you made on 9/28 should still be there on 10/1

I keep a nandroid backup of Hyper NonSense ready to be restored on my SD Card for emergancies.
It won't have my latest text messages or anything but I can flash to it and have working mobile data in 3 minutes in an emergancy. And it only costs me 1GB of SD card space.
If you take the time to set that up once, you don't have to worry about flashing a fresh install of a Sense ROM and setting up your accounts and apps later.

APN Settings with working MMS (Skyrocket)

Ok, for those of us that have problems connecting to non-mobile websites, this solution worked for me. I've tried so many combinations- all resulted in internet working, but no MMS. I need MMS!!!
I was also up all night with AT&T regarding this issue (still pending). So after a couple hours, multiple tries, I hung up, they said they'll call me back after they find a solution. Whatever! It was 3:30am, I was trying different combinations until I passed out. I woke up and it was working!!! Powered off & on a few times. Still working. Applied the same settings on the wife's Skyrocket and now it's all working.
Name: attwap (name it whatever you want)
APN: wap.cingular
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Menu> Save. BackButton. Select the APN you created (green dot). BackButton. Done.
Noobs - To get to APN settings: Menu> Settings> Wireless and network> Mobile Networks> Access Point Names. Menu> New APN.

I dont know if "wap.cingular" is faster than "phone" (other APN), or vice versa. I tried speedtest on both, same ballpark in my area. The point is that the internet and MMS is working. I will "settle" for this until AT&T fixes this problem. LTE not yet available in my area. They said the PTA network is brand new and they're still working out the kinks.
Hope this works for you, too.

Works great man, I spent a lot of time on this last night couldn't get both internet and mms to work.

Ditto, I ended up going back to pta because I couldn't get MMS to work on anything else.

I'm glad it worked for you guys too. I was a bit annoyed switching back and forth whenever I had to send an MMS. The trouble was my wife couldnt- didnt know how. Now life is good... for now...

Well LTE is suppose to roll out to NY in the near future so hopefully we only have to use this work around for a bit more.

APN Differences?
Thanks Mike-
Works great! Data is constant now throughout all the sites I visit, no data loss. Also MMS works! And through speedtest app my DL is very close to the other APNS here in my non-LTE market in Harrisburg, PA.
Can somebody explain or point me in the direction of the differences between the APNS: pta, phone, and wap cingular?

looks as though you can't even use the phone apn along with the those mms setting in the same profile anyway.

Worked for me also.

Seems to work for me too. I don't know much but, all this cingular stuff wouldn't suggest we are using a different network would it? And we get a bill for roaming or something lol

Cingular is AT&T.

Oh that's right lol I forgot

Dont think it's an APN issue. "wap.cingular" is widely used. Maybe the phone just needed a restart. I treat my phone like my computer, leave it on all day, but reboot it every once in a while... and of course, back that thing up. (I dont mean the song)

is this supposed to fix the network issue well when loading non-mlbile sites? i tested my rocket with a friend that has the htc vivid and i was completely humiliated because his thing is blazing fast.

No, not fix. Its just a work around to get your internet working with MMS still active. Not supposed to make things faster, better or orgasmic... just working.

[FIX (Possibly)] MMS sending/receiving Issues

So this has been bothering me since the first time I flashed a custom rom on my G2x (had this phone since late September), I know that my data speeds suck and that it's common for a custom rom to mess up our phones' data sending/receiving capabilities (using a mobile network that is). So I've been searching, calling technical support, and playing around with my phone for a long time, and I might have just figured it out, so why not share
To make it clear, this is for anyone who has 2 SEPARATE APNs (one for internet access and one for MMS), especially wind users, since I'm one. No harm can be done from trying this, if it doesn't work for you, just restore your APNs to default and move on.
So here it goes:
In settings -> wireless & networks -> mobile networks -> access point names -> Wind CA MMS (or whatever your MMS APN is), now change the APN type to <not set> (i.e. delete whatever's there and hit ok) and change Authentication type to None (it's usually <not set> by default) then hit the menu button and save.
What this mainly does is it breaks the link between the internet APN and the MMS APN, so to use one of them you'd have to manually select the relevant one then do what you need to do (i.e. now you have to manually select Wind CA MMS (or whatever your MMS APN is) from the access point names menu, turn data on, send/download your MMS, then do whatever you want after, or go back and select Wind CA (or whatever your internet APN is) to get internet access)
By default the 2 APNs are linked and when you need to use MMS your phone switches to the proper APN, then switches back when you need internet access. I'm guessing my phone's been having a hard time finding it's way to my MMS APN (even with it's dual core processor lol) since the data icon usually disappears as soon as I hit send! So doing this manually is more work but it solves the problem (for me at least, and hopefully for you )
I know this sounds like a pain, but I've been able to send and receive MMS at speeds I've never seen before on my phone
Good luck and don't forget to hit the thanks button whenever appropriate

I wasn't trying to be an ass or anything, sorry dude! I don't use the xda app on devices I usually log on through the browser, so I don't know how the app works! I just thought it was strange that you asked, forgive me if I insulted you in any way.
The thing is, the carrier I'm with has limited coverage in Canada and my area was only recently added plus they used to have one APN for both internet and MMS which worked better but they changed it and it's been giving me problems ever since! But with this fix I can send/receive MMS in seconds now

I'm a wind user in waterloo as well. I did notice the phone gets confused sometimes when I try to send a MMS, it'll send it but every once in a while show up in the message screen to resend (over and over again).
Anyway so I tried to change the settings, the phone let me save those settings saying "The APN cannot be empty." Although when I look at the APN, it clearly says <not set> like in your original post...

It's not the APN you need to change, it's the APN type, should be the second to last entry in the list, try it out and let me know if it works

And my solution is....
Here is how i fixed my MMS send/receive issue on WIND with cm7..
1. Restore APN to default
2. Change user-agent in Messaging->settings to Android-Mms/2.0 which is the default "Custom" on cm7
3. Enjoy your MMS sending are receiving.
PS. You will still get disconnected when sending MMS.
EDIT: if you are updating your RIL (using getRIL or any other method) to V11H or something other than v20c (CM7 default RIL) change the user-agent in Messaging Messaging->settings to the default on cm7. Otherwise you will not be able to send MMS with the v11H ril.

Thank you Good_Newz ! This did the trick!

Im using Hell Fire Phoenix 1.9 and still need tissues for my issues. Cant reliably receive mms... No problem sending but i tried the couple fixes here none of them seemed to do it. Any other Wind users having the same issue or any ideas?

Have you tried sending mms to yourself from your phone? or from another wind phone if you have one handy? (to see if you receive them)
My brother and I both have wind's G2x and I haven't had any problems with mms ever since i figured out the fix in the op, but my brother can't seem to receive from iphones especially (even with the fix)!! I guess it varies from one phone to another, or it's sender's phone has issues

After f*cking with it for hours and bugging the hell out of my friends (asking to send pictures over and over) I finally got it working by using gosms and filling in the apn settings manually in the app and whamo works great except iPhones.... figures...
Edit: sending mms to yourself is another good way to test it but it always seemed to work sending to myself just not receiving from others
Pin it to Win it.

unable to MMS on Tsugi Rom
hi fellow wind & Xda users, its great to find wind users here.
i would really like to solve this issue as everything else is working for me now, im using Tsugi's final rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358724 )and its great however in APN list i have four things listed
(will attach screen shot as well)
-internet (internet.windmobile.ca)
-Wind CA (internet.windmobile.ca)
-MMS (mms.windmobile.ca)
-Wind CA MMS (mms.windmobile.ca)
the first two are selectable , makes sense as i have internet .... also i can not modify any of the above , it says " default apn cannot be modified"
i created two new APN just like the last two but left the type Blank, didn't solve the issue.
what do you guys suggest or what am i doing wrong? how can i manually change those settings? perhaps through root explorer? thanks
EDIT: Also as i didn't have any input in TYPE ( blank) i was able to select the two new entries i created but i wasn't able to send/receive mms, when i added MMS to the type , they became un-selectable like the default mms entries! when i remove the mms type and leave blank i again can select them.

hi fellow wind & Xda users, its great to find wind users here.
i would really like to solve this issue as everything else is working for me now, im using Tsugi's final rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358724 )and its great however in APN list i have four things listed
(will attach screen shot as well)
-internet (internet.windmobile.ca)
-Wind CA (internet.windmobile.ca)
-MMS (mms.windmobile.ca)
-Wind CA MMS (mms.windmobile.ca)
the first two are selectable , makes sense as i have internet .... also i can not modify any of the above , it says " default apn cannot be modified"
i created two new APN just like the last two but left the type Blank, didn't solve the issue.
what do you guys suggest or what am i doing wrong? how can i manually change those settings? perhaps through root explorer? thanks

I think the fact that you cannot modify the default APN is a 2.3.3/2.3.4 specific issue, when I first created this thread I was running EB (which is 2.3.7) and had no problem modifying. If I were you, I would reset to default (hopefully you can do that on 2.3.4), Try modifying one more time, if that doesn't work, try a different messaging app like go sms and in MMS settings fill in all the APN information manually, hopefully that will work. Also, (if you haven't tried already) you could install getril from the market and see if your rils match, if not install a recommended one. If none of that works, maybe consider using a different rom, I found that MMS works on MIUI roms without having to apply the fix in the OP, and you can definitely modify the default APN on 2.3.7 roms.
Good luck

thanks jj_z1
i tried everything you mentioned above and i am even running a MIUI rom right now , 2.3.7 with gosms, mms setting manually setup and even tried the OP fix with MIUI but still no luck,
only thing i can think of is when i checked the RILS eventhough it said it matches, it was recommending a different one for me, do you think that could be it? its kinda frustrating lol, i'll also flash to stock now and see if i'll still have the mms problem if not then i guess its the custom roms otherwise i don't know

What exactly is the problem you're having? You can't send or receive mms at all? or is it occasional? or is it just one sided (as in you can't send, but can receive, or the other way around)?
This might be a stupid question, and I don't mean anything by it, people just forget the simplest things sometimes! Do you have data enabled when you try to send or download an mms? (it took me a while to find out that I needed data enabled lol)
You can try to do a hard reset, a lot of users find that it works. While the phone is on, pull out the battery, then the sim card, wait at least 30 seconds, then put them back in and try to send something (like a picture) to yourself. Try this at least 3 times just to make sure (unless it works the first time).
Also, if all else fails, using go sms, you can send and download an mms using wifi, I used that for a while until I got my data to work.
If your rils are matching I don't think installing a recommended one would make a difference, the important thing is that they match.
Other than that I honestly don't know what to tell you, it might be an issue specific to your device. The very last thing you can do is restore to stock and go to a wind store and have them either fix it for you or send it in for repair, I'm sure your warranty hasn't expired yet.

i havent been able to send or receive any mms for a while now,
i just tried wifi, with wifi bein on i was able to send/receive to myself, however when i pressed sent the data sign appeared beside the wifi sign and i was able to send/receive , is that normal? other than that when only the data is on and i try to send a mms , the data sign disappears and it keeps trying to send , and when it can't send then the data sign re-appears , to me the mms apn doesn't work, can you send me the exact apn settings for both internet and mms ? so that i can match mine.. thanks

It's normal for the data icon to appear next to wifi. With separate APNs the phone is usually connected to the internet one when data is enabled, but when you use mms the phone tries to switch to the mms APN which is (in my opinion) where the phone is failing, that's also why the data icon disappears when you hit send, it's trying to switch from one APN to the other, but fails!! Which kinda sucks. Either way, I'm currently running RG2x-MIUI v2.2.24 and here are my APN settins:
For internet access:
Name: Wind CA
APN: internet.windmobile.ca
Proxy: <Not set>
Port: <Not set>
Username: <Not set>
Password: <Not set>
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: <Not set>
MMS proxy: <Not set>
MMS port: <Not set>
MCC: 302
MNC: 490
Authentication type: None
APN type: default,supl
APN protocol: IPv4
For mms:
Name: Wind CA MMS
APN: mms.windmobile.ca
Proxy: <Not set>
Port: <Not set>
Username: <Not set>
Password: <Not set>
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: http://mms.windmobile.ca
MMS proxy: 74.115.197.70
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 302
MNC: 490
Authentication type: None
APN type: <Not set>
APN protocol: IPv4
Also, I guess in MIUI there's an auto-Switch option if you have more than one APN, doesn't really matter if it's on or off, doesn't help!

[Q] Mobile Data - Disconnected on HTC One X

[RESOLVED] I just flashed the latest Clean ROM 6 R2 on my Rogers HTC One X and my Mobile Data is Disconnected even though it says 4G in the status bar with full reception. I also receive calls just fine.
I could not attach my screenshot but you can see the screenshot from this link
I wanna try turning off LTE and keep the connection on 3G only, but can't find the option to do that either
Screenshot
Anyone else having this problem? Any insight on this issue would be nice as I love this ROM!

Hey! I just un-soft-bricked my phone only to run into this problem too! BUT I have fixed it! Seemed the APN was wiped for me and is probably the same for you. I added the following APN and boom, all fixed! LTE, 3G, w/e you want! This had all the settings here Hope this gets things running for you too!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I waited all day to see an MMS! Totally made my day!

Just a heads up, that fix I posted was buggy for me as that doesn't actually include the proper Rogers LTE settings so I had random disconnects during today. Hopefully you're not, but if you notice your connection to be spotty pm me and I can send you my updated apn setting for rogers LTE network.

Just a heads up, I am also having this issue and it seems to be with any AT&T based rom. I have a telus one x. Added Telus APN and flashing different radio did not fix my problem. I tried both clean rom V6 R2 and an AT&T stock rom. I have flashed viper without issues and Original Android roms work fine. I notice a few people having this issue and some seem to be able to resolve by adding APN while others cannot resolve the issue. I'm at work right now so I can't do much testing but I will when I get home this evening. If anyone else has anything to add or perhaps if someone knows how to fix the issue, you're two cents is welcome!
Thanks!
*Edit* It seems as though my issue was being caused due to TWRP 2.4 not wiping properly so I went back to 2.3.3 and did a clean wipe/flash and all works fine after entering APN settings.

COMPLETE FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM (worked for me):
sixalive said:
Name: Rogers LTE
APN: ltemobile.apn
MMSC: http//mms.gprs.rogers.com
MMS proxy: 10.128.1.69
MMS port: 80
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 302
MNC: 720
APN type: *
Bearer: Unspecified

After setting the above APN settings, your data should work. But in my case, I kept loosing signal frequently at random. The following step fixed that for me:
1. Dial *#*#4636#*#*
2. Select Phone Information
3. Under Set preferred network type: Select GSM auto (PRL)
Now my reception will go as low as one bar but it will never cut
Hope this helps!
