[Q] apns-config.xml - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a problem. And it seems a pretty widespread problem. Got no replies on other threas so i've started a new one. Any 4.0+ ROM. Stock, custom, MIUI or otherwise. mms doesn't work. I'm using i9023. I'm with Crazy John's network in Australia. A relatively obscure networkthat piggybacks the Vodafone au network. I've done some research and think I may be on to something. Is it possible that if your apns aren't in the apns.config.xml or not correctly configured in that .xml then your mms won't work. I understand that with gb it didn't matter, you just input them manually. But is this true with ics or do they HAVE TO be in there? If so, how do we get this to the devs so they can update their config? I would have asked the dev of my favourite ROM, but xda won't let me post in the dev section. I just find it suspicious that users from the same list of networks are repeatedly reporting this issue with all ICS roms. The only other possible reason i can think of is that it has something to do with all rhese roms being ported to gsm from 4g roms. But that doesn't explain why MIUI V4 doesn't work. Some feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

Does your operator offer some kind of APN configurations to be sent via SMS ? This could help, because it might fix something on their side also.

How do u mean 'fix something on their side'? I enter my apns manually. I've called them and they just try to help me set it up over the phone or send me to their website. I know the apns off by heart, but i've also tried merging the into 1 apn, and various other configurations of all of their apns. I've tried changing user agent. Nothing. I bought the phone from Vodafone(unlocked) so the default apns are theirs(which are in the apns-config.xml by the way) but if I enter apns for Crazy Johns only internet works. MMS works flawlessly on any GB rom but not at all on ANY ics rom except GalnetMIUI ICS which is actually still GB with a few ics tweaks.

Have you tried to refresh your SMSC (do NOT use Update)? Dial *#*#4636#*#* | Phone Information, scroll down and hit 'refresh' for SMSC.

Yes I have. SMS works fine, but can't send or receive pictures at all. Just gets stuck at 'sending'. And can't download when receiving.

Um; I had this mms problem as well on mobilicity 4.0.3
when I updated to 4.0.4 ICS i heard mms was fixed. but it wasn't for mine; so i did a little research and someone suggested to integrate both the 3g APN with the MMS APN and it solved my mms problem:
I'm on mobilicity in Canada
try using my settings as a template for your network apn
Name: MOWAP
APN: wap.davewireless.com
Proxy: 10.100.3.4
Port: 8080
MMSC: [http]://mms[dot]mobilicity[dot]net <- couldn't post external links
MMS proxy: 10.100.3.4
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 302
MNC: 320
APN type (important): default,supl,mms
APN protocol: IPv4
all in a single apn; save it and select it

Yeah, I've tried this. A hundred different ways. Still doesn't work. Thanx anyway. Funny thing is, my network sells the galaxy nexus & they don't seem to have any probs using the 2 apns that I used on gingerbread.

Haha... I tried one more time and got it working. Thanks heaps for the template. My apn had .net at the end. Changed it to .wap and good to go. Cheers

Turns out this was kernel related in my case. Found that most custom kernels won't let me do mms for some reason. After trying kalim's cm9 kernel & finding that mms works using my normal apn setup, I went and tested them all. So far, matr1x 19.5 is giving me the best result. Happy.
....memoirs of a flash addict.

I had this problem as well and I'm also on Mobilicity in Canada.
My mms was broken in stock 4.0.3, fixed in 4.0.4 and then broken again when I switched to my first custom rom CyberGr. It was a great rom but one of the reasons I switched was my frustration at not being able to get mms working.
I screwed around with apn settings and tried 3 different kernels(including matr1x) and a bunch of other stuff that I've probably forgotten about, but no dice.
Someone suggested cm9 and that's what I'm on now. Mms and everything else work like a charm.
The source of this problem is still a bit of a mystery it seems to me because solutions that worked for some didn't work for others
Weird.

just a FYI - the mms issue isn't a CM7 specific issue, it's affected every AOSP build we have out (including all the original ones that were developed by the fascinate guys)
Please do let us know how you fair, we've all started by loading the correct APN but there is far more to it than that - I'll point you here for reference on what could be the cause -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12806384&postcount=773
Once we loaded the correct server info into the APN, it was trying to connect to the server but giving an error about WAP not being enabled - that's as far as we got with it.
And by the way, for future reference - only development topics should be posted here - this should have gone in general.

Okay thanks for the info I was looking through some of the settings and noticed that the user settings for the server is setting to the verizon network yet it needs to be on the uscc.net network. i tried to change it but it changes the setting back to verizon.

MMS doesn't work at all for any AOSP rom so sometimes we don't bother messing with APNs config when we port.
I've had plenty of APN problems while roaming with my US Cell phone. In April in December I traveled to Dallas, was in a building I couldn't get signal and when I came out the phone said "No APN Configured" - Once I landed in Milwaukee and powered on my phone again it worked just fine. Same thing happened again last week when I was out in a rural area.
I've grabbed APN Manager from the apps store and backed up my settings to restore them if this occurs again. I might get a chance to try that out this weekend since i'll be up in the middle of nowhere once again.
I can't recall exactly what I was running before but now i'm on the EC10 Heinz 57.

I need the APNS settings dump from the system/ect/apns-conf.xml from the original rom for USCC if you have any by chance. im going to set the apns settings back to all USCC but i need the original file to do so
Check out GO SMS. it has some mms options, you might be able to tweak them.

Using GPS breaks my mobile data connection

Not sure if this is a ROM problem or something else. Every time I run google maps or speedtest it breaks my mobile data connection. I have to toggle mobile network off/on to get it to work again. Running Virtuous Unity 1.27.0; it happened with 1.26.0 too. Is this possibly a hardware problem? Or a ROM problem? Not sure... Has anyone had this happen?

I have run both those ROM's and frequently run GPS/Google maps simultaneously with Mobile Network and never had that happen...yet....maybe your local network is dropping you....evil...
Yeah I thought that might be it, too...but it only happens when I use the GPS
I can still text and make calls, but no internet, market, speedtest....
I'm wondering if I should return to stock to see if it still happens and take it to a store

I've recently noticed that sometimes when I turn gps on it briefly kills my connection, but it resets itself after a few seconds. Currently running hydrog3n 1.5. Pretty sure it was happening on tpgb 627 as well.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Yeah, it kills mine, but it won't come back on until I manually turn it off and back on. The H icon still show up but no activity on the arrows
I'm now experiencing this too. In my case I have the RCMix V2.0 ROM. It happens with both the stock updated OTA radio and the radio/ril combo that is recommended for this ROM. It seems to only happen when the GPS is active. In other words if I use say Google maps with GPS, press Home and then run an internet app I have connection. But if I leave a GPS app (Co-Pilot Live for example) in the background with the GPS active, internet is down. Just like you I show the "H" symbol just no arrows for data. If anyone else has an insight please shout...
Ok, don't ask me why but I found the solution. It's simply having multiple APN's. I had originally created a second APN as per the instructions in someone else's thread to get higher data speeds. Well, after a search on the internet yielded this idea I copied the MMS settings from the original APN to my new one, deleted the old one and Voila, GPS and data now live happily together. Weird...

Hmmm. Well glad it works for you. I am fairly sure that setup would not work for me. My data plan requires two APN's. I've verified this multiple times. I just tried this since I just flashed a new ROM and was in setup...dismal failure...restored the second APN and hitting 5.5 down out of the box.

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

MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com

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

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)

[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!

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

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.

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

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.

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!
