[Q] Editing APN files not saving - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I'm having troubles with my Telus Nexus S getting my APNs to work.
The default MNC is 22, and it needs to be 220, however every time I change it and save the APN is cleared.
I have tried editing build.prop and it doesn't seem to have anything related to my APNs such as the "ro.cdma.home.operator" file everyone is mentioning to this problem.
I'd really love if you guys could help me figure this out, as I cannot send any outgoing sms from my phone. Recieving is fine however.

I'd also like to know this.

Installed XDANDROID on RHOD400.. data doesn't work?

Hello all,
I am very excited to have android working on my RHOD400, I installed Froyo 2.2 (FRX06) and everything seems to working great, even Wifi works. However, my data plan does not work at all... I can't browse any websites or connect to the Android market without using my wifi connection...
Does anyone know what could be the issue? I have tried many kernels and the problem still exists... I checked the APN settings under the Android Network setting and everything appears to be blank... is this the problem?
Any advice would be great!
Thanks!
Hi, simply search for the relevant apn settings for your carrier and enter them manually. Who are you with?
A new install cant tell who your with so you have to set this up yourself

thanks for the reply, i have sprint network ... would anyone be willing to share their apn settings for sprint? thanks!
anyone? I tried googling my sprint APN but am not getting any relevant results.
I have a Rhod400, also on Sprint Network. I searched for the APN for Sprint and it appears there is no APN for Sprint since they are a CDMA carrier. But I also found some people say SPRINT APN = internet.com Does anyone know for sure?

[Q] Unlocked Sony Arc hotspot not working on Fido

Hey there everyone
first time post on this forum. Hopefully someone can give me some good news on how to fix my problem.
I am on the Fido network in Vancouver, BC. I recently bought a Sony Arc from Rogers and had it unlocked. Everything on the phone works great, but I cannot get my mobile hotspot to work. Wifi, GPS, email, etc. all work fine.
I had read somewhere that I might have to change my APN settings, but when I did that, flash turned off on my web browser - maybe I had put in the wrong setting.
Then I also read that you have to change your WAP settings, but I don't know where to find that.
Hopefully someone here can give me some good news on how to fix this bug. I did phone both Fido and Rogers and they said that it should work and that nothing is blocked on my account.
Would really appreciate some feedback and some help with thanks. Thanks in advance.

MMS Receiving problems

Is anyone else having problems with receiving mms picture or video messages?..
I get a button in my mms field that says download that always fails..any suggestions on how to fix?
I had heard it was somewhere in the APN settings but haven't found any help.
I am running Cyanogenmod 7 with with Android 2.3.4 and Baseband 12.39a.60.19P_26.06.06.30_M
Search apn in the dev section. Henrybravo has a great thread about apn settings. You may even get faster data speeds.

[Q] Edit the registry to properly configure MMS on my WP7 phone?

I'm using an unlocked LG Optimus 7 phone (Mango, build 7720) on the T-Mobile USA network. Aside from a lack of 3G support on the T-Mo USA network, this phone is really working great*!
...*except for MMS support.
For whatever reason, the built-in profiles for this phone do NOT include T-Mobile USA, which is really a bummer. I was able to test with an AT&T sim card, change the profile accordingly, and test MMS -- and that worked fine -- but no such luck with T-Mo USA... even with adding a new APN.
Has anyone figured this out? Since we have access to the registry via the MFG app, can we get in there and change the necessary values? MMS isn't the most critical function, but it is awfully nice to have.
Anyone??
Try this basically you need to set a flag to re-get the apn settings from your network.

Wow. That did it! I've tried EVERYTHING *except* for those little registry keys that you mentioned, and honestly... I only needed to change the "ConfigurationStatus" entry. Crazy!
For the record, I....
- Launched the MFG app
- Went to the Engineer Menu > Other Setting
- Opened the Edit Registry item
- Chose HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE from the 1. drop down
- Entered System\AutoDataConfig for the Input SUB_PATH
- Entered in each of the provided four entries for the Input KEY (and chose DWORD instead of String)
- Hit Query to find the current value
- Typed in the proper value (if needed) for the Input Data field and hit Set
- Hit Query one last time to verify
When all was completed, I backed out, turned off the phone, booted back up and tested. Voila! Working like a charm.

MMS does indeed require a data connection. Or more accurately a mms plan and the ability to use your carriers data connection.
100% worked
i have tried many options, it was this one wich worked with me
i am using Etisalat - UAE sim card with LG E900
many thanks for all

It's been working great, but for some reason I keep "losing" my ability to send/receive MMS messages. I'll go through the four registry values....
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\AutoDataConfig]
"RunADC"=dword:1
"ConfigurationStatus"=dword:0
"Attempt"=dword:0
"MaxAttemptsAllowed"=dword:3
....and I'm finding that "RunADC", "Attempt", and "MaxAttemptsAllowed" all seem to have NULL values when I query them. "ConfigurationStatus" has consistently remained with a "0" (zero) value.
Anyone else see this behavior? Any fix?

My values are resetting too, but it happens as soon as I restart my device, so I dont even get temporary MMS ability... ConfigurationStatus and Attempt reset to 1. The others remain as the values I set them too.
I also tried some recommendations from another thread. No luck at all.

Tethering & Mobile Hotspot Temp Fix for ICS

Ok guys, here is a temp fix for you to continue using the mobile hotspot. But I am not sure how long it will be able to work until it gets blocked.
Go to Settings
Mobile network
Access Point Names
New APN
set the name
set the APN to: epc.tmobile.com
save
after you save, select the new APN you created instead of T-Mobile data.
Anyone mind confirming?
yeah please confirm if this helped anyone

Bigger question is what is the new APN? epc has been the updated apn for a long time since the days of wap/internet2/3
ziddey just create the new APN with epc.tmobile.com and save it as is without any additional changes.

try it and see if it works. i'm not sure why it does but it does. you won't get the t-mobile launch page asking you to pay.
I can confirm named it the bs fix

Actually, this does work. The only difference I can see between the APN that was on the phone and the new APN created is the following:
Original APN
APN Type: default,supl,admin,hipri
Newly created APN
APN type: Not Set
I have no clue what this means, but that is the only difference I see and the newly created APN does in fact work and allow me to tether over 4G.
Also, I had purchased EasyTether a while back to use on Sprint with my HTC Hero (before I learned to root a phone), and easytether also works using a USB cable.
Thanks to the OP for finding this!!
remove admin from apn type.
Found a possible issue with this fix. When I have the newly created APN enabled, I cannot send an mms. When I select the original APN and try and resend the mms, the mms goes through.
Anyone have suggestions?

thanks for pointing that out jtress, will try to look into it.
edit: jtress i was testing it out and it does work with the current settings. i'm not sure why you are having problems with mms. does anyone else have this issue with the mms not going through?
I have no problem either

Does this still work? I've tried it and it didn't work for me when trying to go to amazon.com. I've also tried deleting the default apn and removing the apn type. I've even tried using wap.voicestream.com as the apn. So far nothing works.
My issue with the APN and not being able to send MMS, may have something to do with me being on Tmobile prepaid plan.
I can live with it this way. I very rarely use the tethering. So, if all I have to do is go in to the settings and switch the APN for the few minutes I use the tethering, I can live with that
tethering workarounds
Regarding the new tethering block, there are a few other workarounds that worked for me.
1) Change your user agent string to something mobile on your browser
2) Browse through an encrypted proxy (work VPN works great for me)
3) Use the internet for things other than HTTP and you'll be fine. (HTTPS works fine)
Confirm that it worked for me. I entered the new APN and restarted the phone and now it works like it did before. Thanks!
hey guys, does the usb tether still works after the update?
Wow I feel both dumb and extremely happy all at the same time but I got it to work! I never restarted the phone before so I guess my phone never properly set up the APN.
The way I got it to work:
1. Selected Default T-Mobile Data APN
2. Delete all of the information from the APN type
3. Reboot Phone
Thanks for reminding me to do the simple things!
Looks like the fun is over...
I had been using Wifi tethering for root users and it seemed to allow me to use it just fine. All of a sudden this morning it stopped working and I got a push notification to my phone about mobile hotspot access being blocked. Came here, found the APN settings in this thread and tried it. Worked for about 30 seconds before the same thing happened again.
Looks like they are being pretty hardcore about it now...
Anybody else experiencing this or know how to get around it still?
