I have HTC HD 7. Previously I had Tmobile and now i just bought Straight talk as my network provider. How can I set up APN so i can access data on my cell? I am able to make calls and sms, NOT MMS and internet? can someone help plz
Try HTC Connection Manager first. It should be in your HTC Marketplace. It should automatically set your gprs. In case it doesn't do that, ask info about APN from your provider so you can type it in manually.
Did you even try a single search? Like, "Set APN on WP7" or something?
Settings -> Cellular -> Network Selection / Add APN.
Alternatively, the Connection Setup app (as recommended by @hatuna; it's in the HTC Apps section of the Marketplace) should work just fine.
I am running into the same issues as OP. When I search for "Setting APN on WP7" the responses indicate the steps to edit / create APN's for the AT&T sim. For the T-Mo sim's, Straight Talk wants us to add Port information but no Proxy and WP7 won't let you save settings if you have a port # but no proxy value.
Try adding it as "my.apn.domainORT", like you would for a port on a web browser.
Alternatively, try using the proxy port, but setting the proxy name to the APN as well.
Finally (first, really), have you tried Connection Setup yet?
Finally managed to make it work. I used these settings :
APN - wap.tracfone
Proxy - 216.155.165.40
Port - 8080
Leave username and password blank.
I am getting 3G speeds with this setting.
I tried the HTC Connection manager but it doesn't have an option for StraightTalk. I did try Tracfone as an option but it didn't work.

Did you find that the Tracfone option reverted to T-Mobile USA after you selected Tracfone and returned back to HTC Connection Manager? Also, did you find a place for the MMSC: http://mms.tracfone.com setting?

I have a HTC Touch Pro which I got from Three in Australia. I have the energy rom running on it and it has been sim unlocked. I have put in a Lebara sim from the UK and I can not get the data connection working.. no email or google maps
I have called Lebara and they have said they don't have setting for the HTC.I know Lebara is on the Vodafone network so I tried setting the data connection to Vodafone but it still didn't work. I may not have done it properly though.
If anyone knows a way around this it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
I would search the networking forum for the settings like apn and the likes for the network you want to use and then manually add them
try to find lebera settings from different phones and use that settin in the htc should work
Go to Start>Settings>Connections>Connections>New Connection(At the top)
And enter these settings.
Profile Name - Lebara WAP
Bearer - GPRS/3G Modem (This will be a drop down list, make sure you select modem + GPRS/3G)
IP Address - 212.183.137.012
APN - uk.lebara.mobi
User ID - wap
Password - wap
WAP 2.0 Port - 8799
WAP 1.x Port - 9201
Authentication - Normal
Secure Settings - Off"
You may not need all these settings, but I hope this helped ( I haven't tested this but it should work)

I have the same problem....but only im with page plus(under verizon) in the usa
Hi, I'm way in over my head here and sure could use some help!
I have Galaxy S2 SkyRocket i727, gingerbread 2.3.5 that I purchased off Ebay. Great phone unfortunitly my carrier dosen't sell or support this phone. They only carried a couple smart phone choices that really wasn't much of an option so I just took their free phone hoping I could just insert my Consumer Celluar Sim into the Galaxy. Everything works fine except, no 3G data connection. I have one of the "Connect" dataplans CC offers but am unable to set the correct APN setting on this phone.
The stock AT&T rom apn setting do not allow me to enter some of settings for CC like Proxy Push.
These are CC web apn configuration settings
Name: Web
Proxy Push: Enabled
Authentication Type: Secure
GPRS access point: att.mvno
Homepage: mmsc.cingular.com
I'm wondering if I root the phone and flash a custom rom would that allow me to enter the correct APN configuration settings? Is anyone aware of a custom rom out there that would do this or have any other solutions?
Leon
I think once you're rooted and flash a custom rom on, you'll be able to enter the APN's manually. I have the skyrocket and flashed DJ ICS Plus V2.0, wickid rom btw, and I'm using it on straight talk. It allowed me to put the APN's in manually while deleting the previous APN's already on the phone.
Thanks Pak, I'll give it a try and see what happens.
Custom Rom for Galaxy S2 SkyRocket
I flashed the new ROM DJ ICS Plus V2.0 but am still not seeing how I can change the APN setting to work with my carrier Consumer Cellular.
The carrier data setting need to be
Name: US - Consumer Cellular Web
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: Enabled
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
Authentication Type: PAP
APN Type: default, supl
In the S2 Access Point Setting there isn't a field to enter Protocol and no "supl" APN choice. Also if you don't include 310 in the MCC field and 410 in the MNC field you can't save the Access Point settings at all.
In regards to MMS Protocol, I'm assuming the rom has it already preloaded to WAP 2.0 or something since thats what I needed it to be anyways so I didnt have to enter anything. For APN type, I selected "internet" for my data and when I had another APN set up for my mms, I just selected "mms". In regards to MCC and MNC, you should be able to enter the 310 and 410. It shows up on mine.
Your right about WAP already being configured because email and other connections work. Messaging works too, just not data. I tried internet and internet & mms options for the APN Type but neither worked. I also tried inputing the server name of mmsc.cingular.com as suggested on their web site for non-Consumer Cellular phones but no luck with that either.
I had to leave 310 MCC and 410 MNC values in those fields because it would not save the Access Point if left blank or with any other values input.
the link below probably wont be much help but he had his proxy set up as proxy.mvno.ccmobileweb.com, maybe that will make a difference?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904249
I had seen this site before also, tried it but no luck either. I must be missing something altogether here. You wouldn't think this would be such a difficult problem to solve.
dude I don't know, I know you probably did this but did you put "http://mmsc.cingular.com" instead of "mmsc.cingular.com"? I dont know if the http in front will do anything.
These guys below say you can only get data using EDGE, not while 3G is turned on (mind you its an iphone). Maybe turn off your 3G and see if it picks it up?

Unlockit.co.nz was no help either?

Is your SIM card designed to handle 3G data connections? Not all SIMs are created equal, after all. Granted, you'd think that recently-made SIMs would support 3G, but you're not always going to be so lucky. I know this was a major issue once upon a time when 3G networks started to roll out more consistently and not everyone had a 3G-capable SIM.
In other words, has this SIM been able to talk to 3G networks before? Or is this the first phone you've put this SIM card in that has 3G?
If your SIM doesn't support 3G, ask your provider for a 3G-enabled replacement SIM.
I have a 5.5 on EE in the uk which connects fine. My wife however, has the 4.7 version and is with talkmobile in the uk. Everything (calls, texts etc.) works correctly except Mobile Internet - if I turn Wifi off I can't use the internet. Mobile data is switched on. I spent an hour with "support" on the talkmobile website chat, resetting APN, entering a new APN with the following settings:-
Name - Talkmobile
APN - talkmobile.co.uk
APN type - internet+mms
...but that didn't work
I also tried with the following settings from geeksquad website but they didn't work either.
Name - Talkmobile
APN - talkmobile.co.uk
MMSC - http://mms.talkmobile.co.uk/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy - 212.183.137.12
MMS Port - 8799
APN type - If given a choice, select internet+mms, if the keyboard appears enter *
Grateful for any ideas.
I had sim issues with Tpo network in UK they use ee network and as APN default can't be edited no idea why its hard to add APN every time tried didn't show if i reset defaults and select cancel rather than ee or life mobile I could then add a new APN but still not able to edit default APN I find that bit odd ,

We gave up on talkmobile, whatever settings we tried with tm support we couldn't get it to work. Switched to Virgin and everything good now.
(at&T) APN Proxy settings don't actually work? How do I enable the APN with a proxy?
Trying to change the proxy to my own server.
Every other phone works fine.
Changing APN to custom apn (att ipad broaband sim card I'm using) works fine.
The moment I use a custom proxy & Port on the apn it can still access the web, but it's not running through my mitmproxy.org server so snag my json data.
Anyone know a fix?
Anyone having issues with the hotspot feature where it will turn on but when any devices connect to it will not have access to Internet. I've tried setting it both wide open and passwords and nothing. I've even tried different sims (TMobile and ATT) all apn setting seem to be correct as well. I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue?
Update: Thanks to Saloei for the find!
1. Settings\Mobile Network\Carrier\Automatic Registration to disabled - reboot (takes a minute to find carriers)
2. Settings\Mobile Network\Access Point Name (APN)

3. Select new APN by taping the empty space on the far right of the newly made APN (screenshot)
That should be it, thanks again to Saloei.

I'm having the same problem you have. I also tried it no passwords needed and still no Internet! I tried it with a tablet and a cell phone.

T-Mobile. I used mobile hotspot many times in the past with my previous phone. I think I'll call them up just to be sure tethering is still active on my account.
Check the apn settings.
Sometimes automatic apn setups add a proxy ip, and that could cause an issue.

Doesn't look like any proxy are set.

I tried but for some reason I'm unable to select the new apn I created using your info posted
I had the same problem. I kept trying and was able to select. I had to touch all the way to the far right of my new APN. Don't know if that was the solution but just keep trying near the edge to right of your new one.

Nice! NP
Wow! Just spent half hour on the phone. The tech from Philippines raved about this phone but couldn't get hotspot to work. He made me create the new APN but did not make me perform the first step (disabling auto registration of the networ). Also, He asked me to choose IPv6 and not either. Worked a charm, thank you so much!
