Edit/Delete APN with stock ICS? - HTC Sensation

I did some searching, but couldn't find anything, some help would be awesome.
Thanks

Go to settings, press on mobiles networks (not the on /off switch) after that you should see the access points option.

I see that, I've been there, but it won't allow me to delete the stock t-mobile APN's.

You need to add another APN first, before you can delete it.
Try this:
1. Tap on mobile networks.
2. Tap on Access Point Names.
3. Tap the Capacitive Menu Button and Tap "New APN".
4. Tap Name.
5. Type in whatever name you want..
6. Tap APN.
7. Type epc.tmobile.com and then Tap "OK".
8. Tap Capacitive menu Button and hit "Save".
9. Tap the original APN (Tmobile Data).
10. Tap the Capacitive menu button and Hit "Delete APN".
Of course you can add whatever APN you want, that's just an idea.

did that already, there's little locks next to the apn's

If the phone is carrier locked, I think you won't be able to change that..

Yeah, are you carrier locked? Branded t-mobile? I presume you're stock everything too....

It was branded t-mobile, and carrier locked, I ended up selling it, thanks everybody

Grogg released this not long after you posted the thread. I can confirm that it works great, but it looks like you've moved on. Ah well

Disconnect DataConnection via code.... (Eg: Mortscript)

How to disconnect GPRS via code? (eg Mortscript)
I mean just launching a script, without use CommManager or the "bubble"...
There must be a way. Some people have written software that turns 3G on/off, so there must be a similar way (without using something that switches the connection off after a few time)...
Thanks in advance for any answer...

Thanks for you help...
I knew that command, but it doesn't work on my device (and in others too)...
Please help!
If i'm not mistaken, in the main Mortscript Examples thread in the dev&hack section there's a script to automatically download emails using a data connection. you can see if it contains that script.
cant you use long press key and choose disconnect data? works for me no probs?

Do you know what is the reg key which is editet with this simple operation?
Is there any possibility to simulate long press red button to disconnect GPRS via code?
I too would love to find a key button way or larger touch screen way to manually disconnect the data connection. The 3G sign is so small - I have to take out the stylus.

well depending on the build of your rom, the long press end key will end data connection if yoyu so wish, you just have to select the item in the settings as decribed above. I dont see the need for script or code to do this if your rom supports the function anyway?
That's great advice - thanks but my rom is obviously different.
ie. In the pulldown menu for button functions - there is no end option. The nearest thing is OK/Close but long holding that changes the speaker/vibrate - it doesn't effect the data connection..
Sorry I was assuming we needed to add a different function to one of the hardware keys. In which case an `end' was not in the pulldown options for button assigning. I finally realized that simply pressing the call end key itself does indeed disconnect the data connection.
Thanks a lot for your help.
no problems my friend

Try this if You lost 3g/4g

Go to the ThunderBolt’s phone dialer. Enter ##778# and hit Send.
You’ll get a pop-up labeled EPST, with the choice to “View Mode” or “Edit Mode.” You want “Edit Mode.”
You’ll be asked for a password. It’s 000000.
Now flip down to “Modem Settings,” and then choose “Rev. A.”
Change the setting from eHRPD to “Enable,” hit OK, then press the Menu button on the phone and tap “Commit Modifications.”
I lost my 3g last night and I got it back by doing this..
I wish I could take credit for this but I found it on PocketPC . Com
There's already a bunch of threads about this.
Doesn't work here
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
work but poor 3G reception

[Q] Can't add apps to home screen

Adding apps to the home screen should be simple:
"To add app shortcuts to the Gear's home screen, go to Apps on the Gear, tap and hold an app icon, then drag and drop it on the home icon at the top of the screen."
This doesn't work for me. I tap and hold and nothing happens. I've had no problem removing apps from the home screen through settings > edit home screen. But I cannot add.
Any suggestions?
Anyone else have this issue?

When you do a long press, nothing happens? The app should "pop up" and move with your finger just like when you drag and drop on your phone. Then drop it onto the home button at the top that appears, and you can then rearrange all the apps on the home screens.

If its the same for home pages where you can't rearrange stuff, try wiping the device? If that doesn't work, you might have a defective digitizer touchscreen.

Yes its the same. I can go into settings > display > edit home page and I can long press to move and remove icons there. So I would assume that means the touchscreen itself is fine. But I cannot add through those settings.
Wiping the device is my next move after asking on here (but I'm holding off on that for now). And after that I'll be calling the Samsung shop where I bought it.

OK so I wiped it, without restoring. Noticed straight away that below the "edit home page" option in settings, I now have a "manage apps" option which lets me do what I need. Where was it before? Who knows!
According to the help FAQs I should still be able to move icons/apps without going into settings. I still can't do that. Is it correct that I should be able to?

I don't have the same issue you do. But I also don't have "manage apps" under the "edit home page". Are you seeing this under "display" in your settings on the watch itself? Someone else has the option in GM to send an emergency message like the pebble. They are running the same sowtware number of GM that I am yet that option is not on mine. I don't understand how so many of the same watches with the same software can be so different.

It seems the emergency assistance option has to do with what phone/rom you are running. The option is not there on stock T-mobile Note 3, but if you put the international rom on it, it does.

How to close an app properly?

After using an app, what is the correct way of close/exiting it?
I usually just press the home key or back key on the S4 phone to close the app, not sure if it is really closed, or maybe still running at background.
Thanks

You are doing it properly. Also, in Settings, you can go to Developer options and select the option to kill a process as soon as it is left.
Don't forget to use the Thanks button!

" in Settings, you can go to Developer options and select the option to kill a process as soon as it is left." > Could you explain step by step where to find this? I am at the home page, I click the Menu button and click Settings, I did not see any developer options. Using Samsung S4.
Go to settings, tap "About phone" 7-8 times, and it will unlock the "Developer options" menu under Settings.
Then, to find the setting you are looking for, go to Settings > Developer options and scroll down until you see a setting called "Don't keep activities" which has a description saying "Destroy every activity as soon as the user leaves it"
I use a Sony Xperia so some of the terms may be different from your phone but basically that is what you have to do...

Left <=> Right Change of Soft-Button

Is there a way to change the soft buttons left/right? (I want to have the back-button on the right side). On the HUAWEI P8 or Mate there is a option in the Settings to choose which functions the soft buttons sould have. Anay way to do this on the Idol 3?
It's a developer option "RTL". Go to settings, then go to the bottom of settings list, tap about phone, look through lost for build number, tap the build number multiple times till it says you are now a developer, then tap back arrow till you get back to your Main settings, then scroll back down to the bottom of the settings list, you will notice a new setting option that says Developer Options, tap that setting button, then scroll through the list and look for RTL, tap it once. Problem fixed.
If you are on a custom Rom then let me know which Rom and I will help you.
Thanks, but this turns the whole phone to "Right To Left" not only change the two Softkeys

There is a way, though it requires root, xposed and the app Gravitybox (Which has loads of diffrent useful mods, including back and recent buttons reverse option. though you can download a app for just this purpose)
