I just got a PTEL SIM, but I am unable to get into the APN settings at all to adjust these. Every time I go to "Settings>Wireless and network>Mobile networks>Access Point Names", I get a "Sorry! The application Settings (process com.android settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" error with the only option being to force close the process. I would like to try using APN backup & restore or a similar program to restore it. If you wouldn't mind backing your APN file up & sending it to me, I'd appreciate it.
**Actually n/m, I got it to work. The APN file on my phone was corrupted somehow. For anybody else having similar issues getting into their APN settings, I used APN Backup & Restore to delete the APN files on my phone, then just manually added a new one following the OP's instructions. Also, some other sites specify the whole case sensitive thing, but then capitalize "Wholesale" which didn't work for me. I followed the exact capitalization as the OP and can finally send MMS pictures. Thanks rpetrover!!**
Thanks,

Anyone else having issues the last week or so with PTEL data/mms?
My wife had been having issues, but we don't use data much so didn't really think about it. Then today someone sent an mms and I had no data to download it, and popped my ptel sim into my old phone to see if it was my ROM or radio, and the other phone had data with the Ptel sim. The difference? The old phone still had the Tmobile APN info.
I added a Tmobile apn to my current phone, and got mobile data back. Seems backwords, but it is on the Tmobile network, so I guess it isn't that far fetched.
So if anyone else is haven't issues with no data on Ptel recently, try adding a Tmobile apn and see if that fixes your issue (don't delete the PTel one in case something changes). Can't hurt.

[Q] help!! My HTC Sensation stopped picking up T-Mobile after I used it overseas :(

I unlocked my HTC Sensation and used it in the US for over a month after unlocking it. I traveled overseas and used it there but when I came back it wouldn't pick up T-Mobile network and won't see ATT neither. I tried factory reset and still didn't work. Is there anyone out there who can suggest something? anything?
Thank you all
I would call 611 and ask for support and tell them whats going on. maybe they will give you a code to get u.s signals back..... you can also check your apn.
Have you checked your APN? Try resetting it. You can do that through settings>Wireless and Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names, press menu> Reset to Default.
Wasn't me!! I didn't do it!
Thanks to all.
I can't dial 611 because the phone doesn't pick up the network at all. And I tried to reset the network setting and still no luck.
does changing the Rom solve such an issue?
Anyone who reads this make sure this is the only APN on your list.
edit the data apn to say the following

After changing the settings, I tried to manually search for network. it recognized the T-Mobile network but when I tried to connect to it it said "your sim card does not allow connection to this network" even though it's the same card that works in the cheep phone I'm using for now

[Q] Need T-Mobile MMS Fix

Can't seem to send or receive mms. I'm on a T-Mobile pre-paid account. Had the same issue when I had my iPhone but installed a settings fix for it. I've searched multiple forums and found nothing to help. Everything else works fine. It's just mms hangs when trying to send/receive messages. Would like to know how to resolve this issue.
make sure u have the right apn settings for your carrier. Settings > More > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names, and google the aon settings for T-Mobile, then use menu and add, then input and reboot

Still hangs when trying to send message.
Think I figured out the problem. I don't have data or mms on my prepaid account. Weird because I didn't for my iPhone but still could send/receive mms. If anyone could explain this please do. Otherwise please lock/delete this thread. Thanks

Connecting to network problem

I live in Canada and I bought a Sidekick 4g.
I rooted the phone, did the "bml3.bak" unlock method, got the code and re-booted the phone with my bell sim inside but the unlock screen didn't pop up. So then I did the "efs>root>afs>settings>nv_data.bin" but still nothing. I figured if I just delete the nv_data.bin file that it'll come back when I reboot.
So I deleted it, rebooted with bell sim in phone and boom sim unlock screen pops up. I typed in my unlock code and it worked. However when I search for a network and choose bell I get this message "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network" The phone always shows about 3 bars of service, but it doesnt work. At this point, I don't know what else to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Bell is a different type of network. I don't believe it will work with the Sidekick.
You likely have to manually set the APNs for Bell in the general settings. I had to do this for WIND.
Press Menu then Settings from the idle mode.
Select Wireless controls.
Select Mobile network settings.
Select Access Point Names.
Press Menu to add a New APN setting.
Fill in the following settings:
Name: Bell
APN: pda.bell.ca
Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
Port: 80
Username: <Not set>
Password: <Not set>
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: http://mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
MMS port: 80
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC : 302
MNC : 610
APN type : <Not set>
Press Menu and Save.
Click Bell to assign the new APN.
Please note that you will have to re-enter the above settings anytime you insert a different SIM card or if you reset to default settings.
Bell is a CDMA network. I don't believe any amount of APN settings will get a non-CDMA phone to connect.

Non-AT&T LG G4

So I switched recently from T-Mobile to AT&T and kept my T-Mobile LG G4 using it as an unlocked device. Well during the switch the sales rep added what I'm sure he assumes are the correct APN Settings. After he set up the APN, I get a 4g singal but my phone is not receiving data rendering all my data reliant apps useless, which is a major inconvience. Any have any ideas on how to fix this get an lte or data connection running on the phone.
Thanks in Advanced!
