I have the MSL for sm-g900p to change APN settings but all greyed out? - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I called Sprint and they gave me the MSL code for my phone. When I try to change the APN settings all of the settings are greyed out but a few choices and of course not the APN type. ( I am trying to get the hotspot working without rooting it. Any ideas anyone?

I guess I will have to root the phone. I really don't want to but I guess I have no choice.

Hi Crusader,
I'm with Sprint and my phone is rooted and still have no access to many options under APN settings. Did you find a way out? Please share.

Installed XDANDROID on RHOD400.. data doesn't work?

Hello all,
I am very excited to have android working on my RHOD400, I installed Froyo 2.2 (FRX06) and everything seems to working great, even Wifi works. However, my data plan does not work at all... I can't browse any websites or connect to the Android market without using my wifi connection...
Does anyone know what could be the issue? I have tried many kernels and the problem still exists... I checked the APN settings under the Android Network setting and everything appears to be blank... is this the problem?
Any advice would be great!
Thanks!
Hi, simply search for the relevant apn settings for your carrier and enter them manually. Who are you with?
A new install cant tell who your with so you have to set this up yourself

thanks for the reply, i have sprint network ... would anyone be willing to share their apn settings for sprint? thanks!
anyone? I tried googling my sprint APN but am not getting any relevant results.
I have a Rhod400, also on Sprint Network. I searched for the APN for Sprint and it appears there is no APN for Sprint since they are a CDMA carrier. But I also found some people say SPRINT APN = internet.com Does anyone know for sure?

Need help with APN on Samsung Stratosphere 2

I'm trying to get a friends phone working for them in Chile and I can't edit the apn settings on his Stratosphere 2. In the APN settings there is no option to add a new APN. It's a global phone and voice works fine with entel, the provider down here, and I know what the new settings need to be. I thought it would be easy to just edit the APN but the menu to do so is hidden. The only option I have within the APN is reset to defaults. Anyone have any info to help me out? Do I need to unlock the phone to do this? If I do, can anyone point me in the right direction to do that?
Thanks for the help!

Stock Rom (rooted) APN settings unable to be edited or added

Hi guys,
I've been running the stock rom (6.0.1) with RingPlus for about 4 months now, and just got word that they were discontinuing service. I canceled my service with them and have moved to Tello, which many of the users on RingPlus were saying was a painless switch. I've received my Tello phone number, and activation/provisioning instructions, which I've followed several times. I'm able to make and receive phone calls, but don't have 3g or LTE data.
From my experiences with Nexus devices and AT&T MVNO's my gut says it's an APN setting, but when I browse to the APN list the whole list is grayed out and unchecked, the add button is also grayed out.
Does anyone know how to open this up?
This issue is solved. I used a hidden menu (##3282#) to view my APN settings and they were being pulled from Tello. Later in the day my phone randomly did a prl update (several dozen had been done since posting this thread) and after that update everything worked. My best guess is that the line wasn't fully activated.
Hi Thunderbolt,
My phone is rooted and after putting in the MSL and dig down I have the same issue as APN Type and many other options are greyed out. I'm with Sprint. Looks like you haven't done anything and it automatically became available. What's Tello? Do I need to install any otger app to get the access? Thanks.
I'm on Stock TouchWiz Marshmallow on my S5 Sport G860P and my APN settings aren't greyed out, but they don't save when I add the proper APN for my FreedomPop SIM I received yesterday.
Is there a way to unlock this phone for free? I bought it on Ebay used and it has a clean ESN. I'm not the original owner so I don't have to Sprint account number and I may not be able to get it because it was purchased from a reseller.

What does it mean to use a hidden menu? And what is Tello? I am having this problem as well and would love to fix it. My issue is ultimately about not sending and receiving MMS consistently. But having the prn menu grayed out isn't helping my efforts to fix it.
Thanks!

Open dialer Punch in ##3282# this brings up the hidden menu for a lot of things.. Choose edit, and if it ask for you MSL enter it, then go to apn settings and you can add one, it should not be greyed out.

APN settings not appearing!

I have a carrier unlocked AT&T One A9 with the bootloader unlocked and use a T-Mobile SIM card. Calling and SMS work just fine, but I can't use my mobile data or MMS. I figured out that this is because my APN settings were not properly configured, so I decided to punch in the T-Mobile APN settings. (Just to point out, the screen where all the APN settings should show up just says "APN settings not available for this user") There's a little floating notification that says "APN settings saved" but the screen remains unchanged, without my APN settings. I thought of S-OFF -ing it and flashing another ROM would help, but I can't come up with the $25 for a Sunshine license.

Not sure if you still need the info, but the reason the APN settings don't seem to save even though it says "Saved" is bc of some bug.
The way to to get it save is to click on the BACK button instead of clicking to save. So after you input your APN settings, DO NOT click the SAVE APN settings. Just click on your in-screen back button. Your APN settings should then be saved.
I updated my a9 sprint by using RUU side load, but my sim card is locked and i can't receive neither a call nor use data could you help me unlock my simcard pleasee

Do you have the carriers APN settings ?
Yes I have the settings....I get these errors though....
"Sim not provisioned" but it works in my iPhone and under apn settings it says "Access point Name settings are not available for this user"
This may help.

Had the same problem. If you have root you can try the method above. Seeing that it can work. But if you have no root then it won't work. But I found out that I couldn't change Verizon's apn. But sticking a att Sim and you have the option to add or edit for the att Sim card. Why I don't know. I wonder what other apns will be locked.
