I looked around the forums and a lot of the info i found I couldn't use or it would make one thing work and the other not.
I didn't see a post that worked for me, and if anyone is having my problems that I had I hope this little guide works for them.
So after tons of trial and error, I have full working APN settings for Hellfire Sandwich 1.9
Both internet and MMS work now. I was having a problem with the other settings floating around, so I finally decided to do it my way, and it worked
Step 1: Download and install APN's Backup (free)
- hit the menu button and go to System Settings -> More -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point names
- Access and delete both the pre-loaded Simple and StraightTalk T-Mobile APN's
- Access the T-Mobile APN
- Once inside, chance the APN to simple
- DO NOT enter a proxy or you will get failed to find secure connection errors (That happened to me)
- Leave the Username, Password, and Server info with default information (aka do not touch)
- MMSC settings as follows : http://smpl.mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
- DO NOT put any values in MMS Proxy
- MCC 310, MNC 260
- Authentication type: Not Set
- APN Type: default,supl,mms
- APN Protocol: IPv4
Save the APN setitngs.
Exit the settings back to home screen.
Launch APNs Backup and backup the APN info you just set. The app will back up and reboot your phone.
BOOM! You have working Internet and MMS settings now on Simple mobile with 4g that is pretty fast =)
I hope this works for you all. If you end up losing data connection, turn the data on and off and it should work just fine. Worst case scenario just reboot the phone.
Enjoy this bad ass rom and +1 the the Hellfire peeps

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
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?

Please Help.
I want to use an unlocked t-mobile branded lg g2x on the straight talk network
The APN settings supplied by the straight web site do not work for mms or internet,
If you have the APN settings that work for mms and internet please post them with confirmation that they work.
Thank you very much
Did you get any settings to work?
I want to pull the trigger on this, but not sure if it works (had some issues with the Simple Mobile APN settings on my phone).
Let me know.
Yes ! Please post these settings! I have had my g2x for about a month now with no sms/data at all! It is very frustrating I have tried many apns and cannot find one that works.. .
I got my g2x to work with straightalk last night but only phone and text. No data. Used my sim from my nokia e71. Type in att.mvno in the apn config screen. Trying to come up with the next step to get data.
Working settings for Lg G2x straighttalk
Name: whatever_you_want_the_name_to_be
APN: att.mvno
Username:
Password:
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
EDIT: not sure what MCC and MNC stand for, or what the settings should be, but try leaving the 310, 410 settings in place, if it doesnt work, try leaving them blank.
Here are my settings:
Name
HOME
APN
att.mvno
Leave everything else alone EXCEPT the bottom selection that says:
APN type (here you must enter the following)
default,supl
Then save, next choose to add another APN
make it look like this:
Name
MMS
APN
att.mvno
skip down to
MMSC
http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy
proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
MMS port
80
skip to:
APN type (enter the following)
mms
THEN SAVE
You will see that only one APN has the option to be chosen, that is ok, Just choose the one that is able to be chosen.
Now go back to Homescreen and then reboot your phone.
This works for me, hope it can help you. I tried a hundred different ways and this was it. Capitalization is important, and the APN type was the trick.
GOOD LUCK and let me know if it worked for you.
them settings did not work for me. is there any other settings i can use?
working APN
If you are on stock rom then the normal straight talk settings work. Although you will have to download APN manager from the market to delete the T-Mobile apn or else your system will automatically switch to it occasionally which will drop data.
If you are on a custom rom (MIUI, ICS, etc.):
1. Open apn settings
2. Open the T-Mobile apn
DO NOT ERASE OR CHANGE ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE FOLLOWING
3. Change APN to wap.tracfone
4. Change Port to 8080
5. Change MMSC to http://mms.tracfone.com
6. Erase anything typed in the "APN type" field
7. Save
8. Delete any other APNs.
If you already deleted the T-Mobile apn on a custom rom you'll have to reinstall the rom or ask the developer what the apn settings were.
This has always worked for me. Hope it helps.
^^^^ That is the correct solution.
Thank you c1c2doc that worked perfectly!
The latest CM 7.2 has the StraightTalk APN information pre-populated as an option along with Simple. You can also get the T-Mobile SIM card from StraightTalk as well now so you don't have to unlock the phone. Has anyone tried these yet?

This helped so much on my T-Mobile G1
c1c2doc YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!
How did you figure this out???

I just got my Straighttalk T-mobile SIM up and running. I did not have to unlock my T-mobile GS2, plug-n-play. Took about a day to port my number over, entered the APN settings on the website. Getting data speeds the same as T-mobile, MMS worked the first time. So far, no complaints. I read on another forum that autopay eliminates fees and taxes. We will see.
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.
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)

That should be it, thanks again to Saloei.

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.
Ok guys, my entire page response to this problem was just deleted so I'm re-posting. I was able to get Hot-Spot working with the help of my T-Mobile Tech.

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!
