Long story short here, I've got a Milestone I threw 2.0 Brazillian ROM on back before 2.1. Updated to 2.1 and for some reason when I try to enter the APN settings from Telus, it flat out won't save the APN.
I've tried calling Telus for the settings but the ones they give and the APN settings including the MMC port and servers are seemingly doing nothing, the only way I can get online with it is through WiFi. My current OS is a legitimate 2.1 Brazillian [only way I know is the language it installed on 2.1 was Portuguese].
Any ideas? If it means anything, the phone is unlocked but it's being used on Telus anyhow.
Try giving the apn a different name like telus1 and see if that works. Had a gent in my store with an N1 yesterday and he couldn't save his apn with the exact same settings as mine. Not sure what it was but when he saved it Roger's and had a dummy one saved as Rogers (using internet.com as apn with no other settings which works for internet but lacks mms functionality) it worked.
Let me know!!

The reason why your APN is not saving is because you're changing the default values of MCC and MNC. If this is different to build value, your APN will disappear.
So, to save your APN, you need to use ADB to pull build.prop from system using the following command:
adb pull /system/build.prop
Once you've pulled build.prop to you offline location, change the value for "ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric" to something to match your MNC and MCC number. Combine the two to give you 6digits e.g. Telus is 302220.
Once this is done, do the following using ADB again.
adb remount
adb push build.prop /system/
That should fix your APN issue!!!
i pulled the file but i dont have that variable ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric
what to do now?
Hello guys,
I happen to have the very same issue with my APN, with a HTC Legend (2.2 rom, but I had this with 2.1 too). I can't change the MNC (which is set to 10 by default) to the correct value for my carrier : 01. I've spent hours trying to figure this out, and googling for an answer, but all I could find is "it is caused by the lecture of SIM's default MNC and you can't change it". Until I read your answer, which seemed at first glance to be the one, but I too didn't find the line "ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric", and after adding it manually, I was unable to push the file back onto the droid : "Directory not empty".
I'd consider you as a demi-god if you could help us out here
Sorry for my poor english btw

I'm with Koodo (Telus subsidiary) and It also has the 302220 MNC/MCC. I can use Go SMS to send MMS, but I cannot receive them for some reason. I've tried this fix, put in the apns but still no luck. ... one of the odd things though, is when I open the APN editor (Voice dial "Open A-P-Ns") it doesn't show any valid APNs, but the apn managers do.
Any ideas on how I can get my MMS functioning? Data works, just not MMs.
[-- Edit --]
I'm using the settings from Koodo's site : http://koodomobile.com/en/ab/non-koodo-phone-data-setup.shtml ; they're largely identical to Telus' except for the name of the APN and the inclusion of /koodo in the mmsc proxy.
Proxies 74.49.0.18 ; mms server http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/koodo/mmsc blah blah blah ..
Hi folks;
I'm porting CM7 over to the Motorola Triumph (Virgin) and have MMS working, BUT (there's always a "but!")
Virgin uses.... somewhat "odd" configuration parameters. I found that I can set an APN that will get it to function.
Remember, this is a CDMA ROM......
Anyway, that's great, except I want it to be the default in the build. THAT I cannot get to work. I have it defined in the overlay area and it gets into the framework ok, but the [preferred="true"] tag is ignored and the APN is not selected.
If I grab APN Manager from the market I can see it, and if I select it then it activates and all is well.
Does anyone know how you specify in the build that this APN should be activated by default so that the user doesn't have to do anything? As it stands right now *no* APN is marked active when the build cold-boots.
Thanks in advance!

All I can think of is that there's still an old telephony.db hanging around.
Did you delete the db file: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/database/telephony.db?
This is on a new load (e.g. a data wipe)
The APN is there but it refuses to automatically activate. If I go in with APN Manager and turn it on it remains on, but I have yet to figure out what the magic combination is that results in (on a cold boot with a wiped data - factory reset) the APN being activated.
Alternatively does anyone know what the magic incantation is to do this programmatically (e.g. what I'd have to include to build up a small program that looks at the current APN and if there isn't one set, pokes the system to set the correct one?)
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?

Hi! Just a small contribution for the ICS leak!
Testing the ICS leak, I was trying to set the APN of my carrier when I got an error: You are not allowed to add a new DUN APN. DUN APN is only provisioned by the carrier. The problem is: whitout setting this, I was not abble to get the tether working. It connects, but can't access the network.
But I found a solution, maybe not the best one, but worked like a charm: writing myself in file /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db. When you open this database, in the field carriers, you will see a lot of APNs that came preloaded. Any user APN will be in the end of the list (mine ended in line 83). My advice: write everything you need on the System APP and look for it in the end of the database file. After you find it, just add dun in the fild type.
Cheers,
Luis.
Helped me a lot specially guys with MB865(ATT) and using odr career.
Dun yet?
Interestingly, I tried this one but whenever I'd change the dun in those settings it would disable that apn and I wouldn't be able to re-enable it!
Theres a bunch of settings in:
data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db/settings/data
One of them is dun_apn_changable!!!! Set it to 1 and you're good to go
I also changed usb_entitlement_check to 0, dun_nat_enabled to 1, dun_enable to 1, and tether_reverse_nat_enabled to 1 (whatever that does, sounds good)
Save your changes, reboot, and you're good to set any apn up with all the dun's you want.
I have an S-OFF ATT HOX. SuperCID. Installed the Avatar 4.2.2 rom. Works great! Snappy, and pretty! Only problem is I was only able to get 4G speeds. After a 30 min conversation with ATT to confirm there were no issues on their end, I looked at the APN settings for PTA. The APN settings were incomplete.
Normally the APN type has default,mms,supl and hipri but my installs (3x) never included. I attempted to add the hipri to the APN and even create a new APN, but the changes would never save.
Any thoughts?
Is the APN locked from being edited? Try just making a new APN with the correct settings.
Avata 4.2.2 APN woes
Its not locked. I can get into the existing 6 APNs and create a new one, but there is no save button on a new APN or existing APN. But I guess by definition means it is locked. I speculated just pressing back auto saved the entered settings but alas, no LTE goodness
Weird. I've seen where the APN is locked from editing (Save button is grayed out) such as the default APN on the AT&T stock ROM. But even then, you can create a new APN and save it. Never seen where it locked you out from editing and saving altogether.
