Hi,
Tried to set two apns on sony experia, by adding two apns. But from the screen, I can only select one apn. When i select 2nd apn, 1st one gets unselected automatically.
Please help as I want to have two apns simultaneously( so I can have two default bearers) ?
thanks a lot in advance for your input and thoughts
Almost certain you can only choose one unless you have a dual sim model and then it would be one per sim.

Hi,
I just unlocked my SGS2 i9100, (rooted + used the app). I've just taken out my O2 sim, and put in my new Ovivo one (free contract - it's too good to be true, but it's true!).
Anyway, as after powering on a pop-up windows appeared asking me to select my "Sim Service", and I had the choice of:
-Vodafone Contract
-Vodafone PAYG
-BT Mobile
-ASDA
-TalkTalk Contract
-TalkTalk PAYG
-TalkMobile
I know Ovivo is vodafone, but since it you have a free allowance every month, on top of credit, I didn't know which one to choose. Even worse, I accidentally clicked one and don't know which I chose.
Two questions:
1) How do I get this Sim Service window back up?
2) Does anyone know which setting I should choose for Ovivo?
I presume this window is just for APN settings and it may not matter that much, but I'd still like to select the right one!
Thanks!

try .. settings .. wireless & network settings .. (long press) mobile networks .. access point names. the highlighted one will be the one you selected. Available networks should give you a list of network operators .. but ovivo will not be one of them.
i am trying to use the viper rom on my desire hd and have the same problem.
i think previously i selected bt-mobile and then changed all the apn settings but not seeing the bt one at the moment.
extra .. i tried installing viper again today and bt-mobile was one of the options so i selected that.
then i went to the apn and noticed that bt-mobile wasn't highlighted (ie no dot in the circle) so press menu and create the 2 apn's that ovivo require, save each one then select the main ovivo one as the preferred carrier (you should also be able to delete the bt apn but not really necessary.
hopefully, somebody will know how to resolve this with ovivo .. meanwhile i'm going to restore back to sabsa v14 .. i need mobile internet everyday.
pity, because viper looks interesting.

Just found it.
Go to settings --> mobile networks --> access point names. then menu button, and reset to default and it'll ask you to choose a "Sim Service" again.
Hi everyone. M8 Verizon.
I'm on stock rooted on 4.4.3 S-Off. I noticed with this update they removed the ability to add APNs in addition to the Verizon one .
I travel to the middle east and usually swap SIM cards, selecting the corresponding APN, and it worked fine while on 4.4.2. On 4.4.3 I can edit the Verizon Apn to put the Vodafone apn for data to work, however the MMS part is blocked, and it won't let me enter anything.
Once I re-insert the Verizon APN I have to say Restore defaults for the Verizon APN to populate.
My question is, how can I get the feature back to add additional APNs? I use to be able to toggle through several.
* If you look at the attachment, where it says Reset to Default, there used to be a feature that Said "Add APN"
Thanks!

i found one way to make them work,one bad thing it's that if you restart the phone you will have to do it again,but at least it's working again.
select the apn from verizon,the only field we can modify it's the APN
then enter the info from your carrier,for example :
fast.t-mobile.com in the case of t-mobile
vzwinternet in the case of verizon
as we know that field changes with our carrier but they just were some apn's i found on internet.
then save the apn,it worked on my GSM carrier again with 4G LTE.
i hope you get data again,let me know.
I noticed that under Network settings for Global or GSM, the New APN feature to manually add an APN for different sim is gone. Looks like it's an auto detect feature now. I travel overseas for business alot and use pre-paid SIM cards. Not all prepaid sim cards have the data APN coded. I just found out on my trip here to Taiwan and couldn't get data on my phone because the option for adding the APN is no longer available. I tried multiple settings, different ROM's and no good. Only when I downgraded my firmware did the option come back. Glad I'm rooted, it sux, but had to downgrade and reflash back to the old 4.4.2 firmware/rUU and run custom ROM. Until this is addressed by verizon, there will be no way to manually add an APN.

Adding Screen shots for reference from my testing on my device Using 4.4.2 firmware and SkyFall Rom 2.7 and 4.4.3 firmware running both SkyFall 3.2 and RKDN rom 1.4 & final version tested.
Update: Figured the APN issue thing out
Thanks to member DOTTAT for giving me the direction I needed to get the APN assignment issue resolved. I just needed to do things differently for getting the APN to load up. Basically had to to to the 'Network Preferences' section to add the network my SIM cards are registered on. This is a long list to scroll through. After I selected the network, there is multiple options to add the network type (GSM,UMTS,LTE, etc.) Had to enable three different versions then reboot the phone. After, there were two APN's that automatically populated and I was able to edit. Thanks again to DOTTAT for the direction. :laugh::good:

Sounds good man... Glad this will be useful for all. Might even take some guess work out of some of the weirder apns.

I apologize but I did not see the steps to get the apn settings access. I've got the HTC One M7 for Verizon on 4.4.3 and can not change apn settings. What would the steps be? Thank you so much for any and all help.

I figured I'd bump this thread rather than start a new one... It seems I and many other Verizon M8 users have encountered the same problem:
I get no list of network APNs under "Network Preferences." There are zero entries, even though a message pops up to say the list is full.
I tried manually entering the MCC/MNC numbers for my carrier abroad (Claro Brazil) but this doesn't resolve the problem. I am stuck with only voice but no mobile data service.
Has anyone found a solution to this? Verizon tech support of course insists "just pop in the SIM and it should work automatically" as does the Brazilian carrier.
Does anybody know where in the phone the APN settings are stored, to edit them manually?
Is there anyway to make the APN editable without rooting as I use a couple of banking apps that I can't do without ?
It was possible with my OnePlus 5 with Android 9.
What happens when you try to add an APN?
Give this thread from last year a look (another model, naturally, but, it may apply).

Can't edit the auto APN as it's greyed out.
Thank you, yes that helped, I can now create a new APN and save it but I can't select it or delete the automatic APN.

I slightly altered my T-Mobile APN for a 2nd APN (changed the APN Protocol & APN Roaming Protocol to IPv4/IPv6).
Ran a speed test & it works. Perhaps it's not enough of a change to the original APN, but, I was able to select it.
I did find that once it's saved, to select another APN, you have to tap directly on the corresponding dot for the selected APN to change. If you just tap on it w/o tapping the dot, it won't select & just stay on whatever you're currently using.

Well, I managed to create a new APN by temporarily using a different carrier sim but no dot so unable to select it

Do you have a carrier-locked version?
If so, I'm guessing that may be the issue, even though mine is a T-Mobile US carrier locked version. (still SIM Locked) & I can get a 2nd APN to select.
I don't have another carrier SIM Card to see if I'd have the same issue as you. Perhaps someone else will be able to help w/a 2nd SIM/APN.
No it's an unlocked OnePlus 8 bought from Amazon.
I believe though that carriers are requesting locked APNs or pushing them to the phone and is a problem since Android 10.
Another sim I tried from a different carrier is also locked.
Anyway your suggestions are appreciated.

Yeah, troubleshooting is difficult when neither the mfg or carrier(s) want to take ownership of the issue.
Since the phone is SIM Unlocked, I'd start with the carrier & see if they have to whitelist your device (by IMEI) or whatever means they require for BYOD. I'd grab the SIM Card serial number as well before you give 'em a call.
Hi all,
I have a SIM card that OnePlus is forcing a Verizon (US) APN for - it is set as default and grayed out, so there is no way for me to select a second one even if I add it, it always defaults back to the one already built-in to the APN config file. I have looked in multiple places, in the /system/etc/apns-conf.xml (changes here don't seem to have any effect). HOW can I finally get rid of this default APN?!
Go into network settings, click on the sim card, and you'll see Access Point names. Go in and add a new one with the correct settings for your carrier, and it will then become default.
Or, in settings search for "Access" and it will take you to what I described above.

I have the same issue, on Pageplus. Same thing happened with my essential, but was eventually able to overcome it. It would be nice to simply "add a new one", but of course, the option to do that is absent as well... There has to be a provision to do this.

I was able to use a Simple Mobile Sim card (T Mobile) and boot the phone to add an APN, but when you save it, you won't see it until you put your old one back in. Funny thing, sad really, I now have data, can send Texts, but not receive them, go figure. Very Frustrating...
Let me know if you have any luck...
