As title indicates the APN settings are no longer where they once were. Stock ROM. Ideas is it possible that someone can block me from entering?

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.
Hey everyone
Seems like the classic story, but i've been struggling with MMS since day 1. I recently downloaded evolve sms, and they have a preset verizon APN setting that works, which i'm grateful for.
But i'm trying to understand what the hell these settings are supposed to be...why can't i send mms through any other app? when i ask evolve sms to fetch the APN settings automatically it says it can't, which i assume is what's going on in other apps. and when i go into APN setting i see a long list of a bunch of different options, and default none of those was even selected....
anyway. Does anyone know how this works? or how to set the APN settings to get MMS working through hangouts?
Hangouts as I'm sure you know, has it's own APN settings. Is it safe for me just to delete all of the profiles?
If I delete the APN's in hangouts, It uses the system set APN correct?
Also, my carrier gave me this info, and I want to make sure it's all I need(In device settings)
Name
APN
MMSC
APN type
Is that all I need? Just asking because I noticed there were a bunch of other settings, and my connection always cuts out (probably a carrier/location issue).
Still waiting on hangouts update, thank God they added Google voice.
Bump!
You do not have to fill in the APN settings inside Hangouts unless you are having problems with the application. The settings supplied by your carrier should be all you need to configure in your mobility network APN settings.
As the title states I can no longer send or receive mms on att. The only thing I've done is root the phone. I installed Greenify but have since disabled it to make sure that's not the issue. Also I debloated some stuff but did that way before I rooted and way before the mms issue started. I checked my apn settings and nothing seems out of place. I created a new apn and changed the apn protocol from ipv4/ipv6 to just ipv4 per an older thread I found.
When I reboot the phone, all all of the mms will come through and I'm able to send them as well for just a few minutes and then the problem shows again. It doesn't matter which texting app I use either. Tried stock, Textra and handcent. All unique error messages of course but same issue.
Anyone else? Can't find anything similar.

Did you turn on your data?
Yes, data works fine.

Are you running AdBlock? If so, it's blocking ads and your MMS pictures on port 80. Switch your APN settings to MMS port 8080, and your MMS should work again. Had the same issue and took me a few hours to figure it out.
This is one for the search engines since I couldn't find an answer for this out there for this so hopefully this helps someone else.
My MMS messages were suddenly failing to send. I took a look at my logcat and saw that for some reason even though the MMS service was pulling the correct MMSC from the profile, the OkHTTP API was failing to connect to localhost. My only guess is that apparently the MMSC http URL was sending an HTTP redirect to something that my device was resolving to localhost since I could connect to the MMSC with my web browser and ping it successfully by name with a terminal client without it resolving to 127.0.0.1 (localhost). I tried disabling my ad blocker since that's the only thing I could think of that could be causing a DNS resolve to 127.0.0.1, but that wasn't it.
I also knew that my MVNO had updated their MMSC and so I tried adding in a new APN with those settings, with the new MMSC entered both by name and by IP address (note: with OnePlus you always need to specify an MVNO type, in my case GID, for a custom APN to save). From the logcat, I saw that the MMS service was unbelievably still using the grayed out APN profile with the old MMSC, even after a reboot. I verified that my custom APN was in fact selected. I tried deleting the storage from several different phone services, as well as locating and deleting the custom APN file, to no avail.
Finally, I figure out what was going on. OnePlus has an evil APN locking file at:
/system/etc/apns-conf.xml
If an APN name on your SIM matches with an APN name in this file, then you are locked to that APN even if you have defined and selected a custom APN!
So, I made a backup copy of this file first, then I located the grayed out APN profile in this file (search by APN name), deleted it, and rebooted. Looking at the logcat though, I still saw that the phone was not using my custom APN profile!! It turned out that there was a second match for the APN name in this file. I deleted that as well, rebooted, and voila - no more grayed out APN in my APN settings that I'm locked to and can't edit. I verified in logcat that my phone was now using my custom APN profile and now my MMS are working again!
Hope this helps someone else!
Notes:
I'm using the last Oreo/ OxygenOS 5.1.11 for best xPosed support, but I did see on the OP forums that other people were having issues with their MMS and APN grayed out even with Pie on several different OP phones.
Yes, I have an older SIM from my MVNO, but not that old
