[Q] Not getting any data connection...

Hey guys im jumping over to the infuse forum to see if anyone may have any information on what may be going on with my moms phone. She has a Stock Infuse not rooted. and just last night she told me that after she rebooted her phone it wouldnt get any data. She could connect to wifi but she wouldnt get any data connection at all. So i went through all the normal stuff, rebooting again, battery pull, toggle airplane mode and nothing seemed to get it to connect at all. She took the phone to ATT today and they did a factory reset on the phone and everything and the phone still would not get data connection, swapped SIM cards, still no data connection. now shes having to get another phone. Does any of this sound right?? any ideas of what could have caused the phone to do this? and if i root and flash a custom ROM do you think i might have a chance at bringing that radio back to life?
EDIT: ATT said it could have been a virus... not sure if that would help either
Thanks in advance guys for any feed back.

Are APN correctly set for her data plan?
Settings--->Wireless--->Mobile network---> APN(Access point name)

See the circle with a green dot, that is how you select your APN if you have more than one.

it doesnt give me the option to select anything with a green dot. i added the APN settings in the screenshots you posted and then it gave me the green dot selection for just the one that i added and the other two that i mentioned before have no dots and are not able to be selected. even with the added APN settings it still doesnt connect

Hm... stil not connecting... well the APN is set so it should... as for the "maybe a virus caused it"... not probable... but still idk whats wrong... what modem is the phone running? Settings--->System info (or something like that) then "baseband" what does it says?

oh ok, wasnt sure if there was any firmware updates for this phone.

Got Throttled. I got help.

Quick Fix
Just make a new apn and select it and it will work. For the ones that don't know. The PTA apn lets att restrict your speeds. This apn can't be throttled.

Doesnt work for me.

I followed the instructions regarding the settings and after selecting this apn, I am able to make and receive calls as well as access to the web....does this mean I am good to go regarding the ability to avoid throttling? LTE hasn't reached where I live yet but I am trying to read up on issues concerning it.
I noticed another wrote that "it didn't work"....Does that mean phone is pretty much unusable as far as data and calling....

No if u are able to access web and call u are fine. So when u get throttled just switch to this apn and u will not be. I'm not in a lte area but they got me. So I switched and working fine.

To be more specific. When I change the apn I don't get a data connection at all. I'm in a LTE area if that makes a difference.

Oh OK I'm not in a lte area but I do get 9up 1down in area's and 5up 1down usually with this apn. Well when u get a fix let me know where its at. Cause im sure I'll b getting lte one day and want to know the correct one

Does your settings work better than the HSPA+ APN?

I'm trying to change my APN, but I don't have the option of Internet+MMS+, I have Interent or Internet+MMS+SUPL.
Also, what is the Kmart port?
Thank you!

I get same speeds on either.

They got me. The included speed test was on a combination of the phone, wap, HSPA, and standard apn presets. Note I'm running cm7 av3. Had to switch back from av4 because that Rom has no wifi. So yeah those apns aren't doing a thing here in Chicago.

Byrd...thanks for the help...I'm new to android, coming from a 10yr stint with blackberry. as stated, I don't have lte yet...att is telling me I don't have 4g in my area yet either but my phone shows a "4g" icon..go figure...but anyway thanks again for the help and when lte does get here and I do get throttled, hopefully this setting change will work.
Oh btw..I did a speed test and I'm getting 4.5mb download speeds...is that 4g or does it just default to the 4g icon due to my new 4g sim card that I had to upgrade?

The apn worked when I was in a non lte area but when I entered an lte area, I wasn't getting any data signal until I switched back to the default apn in which I was back to yh
Throttled speeds. . Any ideas on how to fix this?

Does flashing rom's or odin re lock the infuse?

Okay, so I have an unlocked Infuse..... does flashing roms or odining back to stock re lock it? Or does it not mess with those settings at all?
Thanks to anyone that helps, not very familiar with gsm devices.

H2o sim and unlock
I'm a newb but, I just went through leaving AT&T for H2O and last night I got a T-simMobile . The H2O card was mailed to me and all I had to do was .... Menu >settings>wireless networks>mobile networks> access point names> press menu key and select New APN> select name> enter- H2O WAP, and tap ok. next select APN and enter att.mvno- tap ok > in proxy enter 66.209.11.33 tap ok ,then port enter 80 > at the bottom go to APN type and choose internet or internet+mms+supl and then hit the menu button and click save. It will back you out to APN page. Tick the dot next to H2O WAP and it should light up. Done. you may have to go to your browser open it, hit menu button, choose MORE, Settings, Set Homepage and enter google as homepage , hit ok , and poof!! H2O Should work. I did it on both,my Captivate and my Infuse 4G , both originally AT&T phones. Now, about the T-Mobile sim card... I just did this last night on my Captivate. Oh, it's rooted and running on Watsa's APEX 12.0 ROM (very cool). If you need info on T-M sim card on AT&T phone ask and I will tell, I don't have time now on lunch break.

So did you have to unlock your device before you got it working on H2O? Or did it just work?

I believe AT&T MVNO SIMs will work on phones originally sold for AT&T without the need to unlock the phone.
According to H20's website, you can download an app that will set up your APN from the market.

Indeed. I'm running H2O on my inspire.
My settings that work just fine:

[Q] Does root allow APN changes?

To anyone who's rooted their Moto G : Are you able to edit or add profiles to your APN settings after doing so? When I attempt to add another profile I'm brought back to the previous screen without any changes being made. The default (Telus') APN's are greyed out and unchangeable.
I'm intending to give this device to someone over the holidays, and I'm looking to alter the APN settings to only allow MMS traffic through. I'd like to know if it's possible before sacrificing the warranty.
If it does let you alter it, would you kindly please tell me the method you've used?

I had this problem when trying to set up Orange UK's APN information (EE). It wouldn't save with all the information, just deleted the existing one and entered the name and APN fields and it saved. It then did everything else itself.
Hope it helps.

I have rooted and installed Auto Hide Soft Keys and that gives me a menu option on the Navigation Bar: Delete APN, Save, Discard.
Without rooting, you could try installing a different launcher and see if that will give you the menu option.

Thanks for the replies!
I ended up rooting the phone using paulobrien's 1st method without difficulty. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2553467)
The APN settings were still unchangeable unfortunately. I also couldn't find any option to delete the APNs in Auto Hide Soft Keys, although now that I think about it I didn't try any gestures while actually viewing the actual APN's settings.
I was able to install Ritesh Sahu's APN Backup & Restore, and followed the instructions on the PlayStore page of the app for 4.0+ devices (Converting the file to a system app). After doing this, I was able to delete the APN settings from that app, then suddenly I was able to add my own custom APN within the regular menu.
Hopefully this helps someone in the future!

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. Here are some pictures to demonstrate what I meant.

Auto Hide Soft Keys Navigation Bar with 'Hide Soft Keys' enabled:
It might be possible the option was already there in Stock, I never checked. Or the option might be available if an alternative launcher was installed. Rooting may not be necessary.

I need only to tap on the apn name... Delete/Remove/etc.
And with the + sign I can insert new apns.

root & apnmanager & apps2rom
My Telus MOTO G does not allow me to remove default APN either.
Here is how I solved it.
1 root it
2 install apnmanager
3 install and run apps2rom and change apnmanager to system app
4 use apnmanager to delete the old telus apn
5 add my own apn

Can you play store link me to the apnmanager App you used?
Thanks! C

[Non-root] Stock Verizon Note 5 APN Settings Editing

Hello Verizon Note 5 XDA members, I myself am a owner of the Verizon Note 5, eagerly awaiting, and looking for ways to gain root on this phone.
Unfortunately we do not have it fully as of yet. So in the mean time I have been messing around, looking for things I can do without rooting.
I am unsure if anyone else has found this method, or posted it to any other websites, however I have not noticed this posted on XDA nor have I found any accurate
posts on how to change APN settings, unless the phone is from a different carrier other than Verizon.
TL;DR - Here's a method I believe I found for changing APN Settings without root.
My phone specs is the first screenshot in the steps.
I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO ANY AND ALL DAMAGES TO YOUR PHONE THAT THIS MAY CAUSE. DOING THIS YOU ACCEPT AND USE THIS METHOD AT YOUR OWN RISK WITHOUT HOLDING ME LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES.
First things first, I am unsure if this will work for lower versions, or any other model. Or if any other phone may contain this. My model and version is this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also note, my APN Settings are greyed out, blocked, be whatever you want to call it.
Step 1. Clear all recent apps, or just make sure you do not have settings opened in the background processes. As this will stop you from reaching the bypass in step 6 and it will show the usual greyed out/blocked add button.
Step 2. Download Activity Launcher, or use any software that allows launching of app activities. I suggest Activity Launcher only due to this is the app I was using at the time I found this.
Step 3. Open Activity Launcher, and make sure All Activities is selected in the top left corner. It could take a few seconds, to a minute to load them all depending on how many apps you have installed.
Step 4. Locate the activity called "com.test.LTEfunctionality" without quotation marks. It should be near the bottom of the list in Activity Launcher. Expand the drop down by clicking on the activity once so it looks like the screenshot.
Step 5. Click on LTE Test to launch this activity. What launches should look like this screenshot below.
Step 6. Scroll down until you see LTE APN Setting as in the screenshot below. Then click it.
Step 7. Profit from changing your APN Settings to however you please.
To enable the APN, you must select it from the screen on Step 7, it will not show up in your usual Settings>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names. It will also appear as you have no APN selected in the usual APN screen. To modify your APN's again, you will have to go through all of the above steps again starting from Step 3.

Sorry, if I'm not in the know but why would I want this?
Thanks

You don't.. There's no need to change your APN (Access Point Name) when your phone is already set up to properly receive calls, texts and data. This will not do anything towards helping to root at all.. You would need this if you were trying to get a phone that you already paid for onto Verizon or some other carriers network. Other than that there's not much use of this.

I'm using a verizon version on Cricket/AT&T. When I inserted my sim card I had to manually enter my APN info and all i had to do was scroll through settings till i found the mobile networks. Then once inside that menu I hit APN. It automatically let me enter my info without having to go through all of what you were explaining...

I am currently deployed and brought my Verizon Note 5. I purchased a prepaid data SIM and had to edit the APN settings for it to work. I didn't have to go through all these crazy steps either, I don't know what this person is talking about.

I have a Verizon note 5 and I want to change to a free APN in my area. This didn't work for me but I'm going to try some variations . My APN is locked out like yours. Thanx

I finally got my APN to change
I tried this method and they must have patched it on the Dec 2017 software version because it did not open the APN Test at step 6..
What I did was put in am ATT sim card, went in to APN settings, Added an APN with the "TRACFONE.VZWENTP" APN settings and saved it. (the saved APN disappeared from the list after saving) Pulled out the ATT sim card, Reinserted my PagePlus sim card and restarted. It worked, I Now Have DATA!
The APN settings are still greyed out now and I can not change them but phone is using the APN i set while I had the other sim card in the phone so its working great for me!

I was excited, but unfortunately this did not work for me. I'm on Straight Talk and I updated to Nougat with Smart Switch, but now my data doesn't work. Would be super nice if I could change my APN setting and get it to work again. Verizon claims they don't lock their 4G LTE devices, but this definitely seems like a way of locking it.

Hey I just loaded a FreedomPop SIM card with no real problem. I swapped out the Sim card and then did a factory reset. It still tried to connect to Verizon but FP ran a setup program that allowed me to add a new APN. I them loaded Samsung package disabler 11.5 and killed the setup wizzard from Verizon. No more error messages.
