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 Guys I Have bought NTT DoCoMo Fujitsu Arrows X F-02E From Japan and it is a good Phone, It has Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 installed in it, I want to root this device to get rid of some default Application which are in Japanese Language or want to Install any English ROM.

I am using it and no problem at all, If you insert the sim card you won't get the network bars until you enter the APN. To Enter the APN go to setting and Wireless&Networks in "More" Tab you can go Mobile networks then Access Point Names if no apn added the it will be blank,
Press the Option button which is located bottom right corner, press the option button and click on add New APN, Now you have to Enter the correct Info in the APN and save the APN after saving it you have to select the APN then it will work. You can get the APN info from you Mobile Service Provider. I hope it will Solve you Problem.

Is there any ways to know if it unlocked or locked?

I'm also from Malaysia and eying at this model or other Fujitsu model, mainly because of the present of IR port on many Fujitsu models. But I won't buy it here for sure. It's not popular here and imagine the cost to own it. Japan or China markets are good way to start. :good:
Just bought this phone here in Japan to swap my SGS III alpha. I am using SoftBank's Black (iPhone) SIM Card after unlocked it. The problem is that I could not connected to the network (Internet) even I already set the APN (using smile.world), I used this setting with my SGS III alpha and had no problems in network. But, this phone seems it is not connected. Found on the Status that Mobile Network: UMTS and Mobile Network State: Disconnected.
I had searched this kind of problem on forums, webs, and chats without having any luck.
Please is there someone have any solution to solve this.
Thanks in advance...

@ari3lz: After factory unlocked this phone at Docomo shop it will noted Sim Unlock below Sim Lock, not the mark (-) as showed on your screenshot. It also needs to put Docomo Sim card into the phone just after unlocked it. It's better to ask the seller if the phone already factory unlock or not. Many sellers on internet (rakuten, Yahoo Auction, Amazon.co.jp) they will say it could be unlocked and assumed that we can unlocked it by ourselves, just like my case I bought it from Yahoo auction and I unlocked to Docomo shop.
Hi,
Please how does one enable internet on this phone?
I have added my network APN and I can use the network but I do not get any internet connection on the network.
Connection to network
I would like to thank hifi.madness for your info on how to connect Fujitsu to our service providers.
The only issue that I have is how to root it or get into Service Menu.
do you have any idea or suggestion?
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.

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:

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?
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.
Sent from my OnePlus7Pro using XDA Labs
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...

So for the long post but lots of information up front. I obtained an unlocked Verizon Sonim XP8 with Android 10 installed. It works with a Verizon sim as well as a FirstNet sim. I am trying to use a Visible sim in it. I've used this sim in an iPhone, iPad and Unihertz Atom without any issues as the latter 2 let me add the apn settings. The software on the XP8 is obviously from Verizon who locks the apn settings even though the phone is unlocked. The sim lets me select the Visible 4G network but puts in Verizon's apn settings instead of Visible and won't let me change them. I have tried various programs which fail to change the apn settings. One program let me add an apn but refused to save it saying my "user privileges" would not let me add an apn with the "dun" setting. I tried some one-click root programs (even though I didn't want to) which failed to root the device. There is no available dump for Android 10 to pull a boot.img from to modify. TWRP website shows no Sonim compatiblity and even when downloaded won't run on the phone so I cannot get the boot.img myself. I looked through this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/sonim-xp8-root.3851187/ Being a newbie, I think I need to use adb in order to pull the boot.img but am unsure where it is stored and where I am supposed to store the xml files that I create. If I can understand that process better and get the boot.img to root with Magisk, will this even solve my permissions problem with being able to add the apn settings? Is there an alternative or is the only way to solve this to flash the phone back to Android 8 with the stock images off this website to get rid of the Verizon problems? I'd really like to stay with Android 10 if at all possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Where did you get one with android 10? I have both the Verizon and ATT XP8s stuck on Android 8.1. I have had tickets open with Verizon for 2 months and they swear it is fully up to date with 8.1. It may actually be my APN configuration that is preventing the update.
I was able to get Visible working on my Verizon version by modifying just the apn name in the existing apn. I can't add new APNs on either ATT or VZW XP8s. Perhaps if you follow the other XP8 root thread you will see there is a method for rooting which gives you access to manually add APNs. I'm not sure if it works on Verizon model though...does anybody successfully have XP8 Verizon with Android 10 and root?

What did you modify the apn name to in order to get it to work? I have 4 apn settings I was given for Visible. The apn settings in the phone however leave little room for modification.

Using my Visible SIM on my Verizon device, I have only 1 APN instead of 4. By changing just the APN NAME, (which is all I can change), I am able to get visible data working. No MMS/SMS/ADMIN APNs but full speed data.
My primary sim for this is a Verizon prepaid. Was your friends sim a verizon post-paid account? Also, do you have the appropriate 4 verizon APNs on your phone? Maybe the admin APN is required for the update. Any chance we could swap screenshots of our APN configurations?

The sim was a post-paid account. I don't have it in the phone right now. The only APN that shows up when I put the Visible sim in is named "Verizon" with an APN of "VZWINTERNET" MCC "311" MNC "480" APN type "default, dun,supl" APN protocol "IPv4/IPv6" APN roaming protocol "IPv4" I tried the root method in the thread I listed but when I type the command for the QSaharaServer it tells me the application is not executable even though I followed all the directions so I cannot even get the boot.img downloaded to begin the rooting process.

Just change APN name from VZWINTERNET to VSBLINTERNET.
unfortunately that didn't work for me. not sure if that's an android 10 difference or something else... i do notice that when the phone starts i get a 4GLTE symbol which promptly goes away.

Did the APN name save? If so try the following:
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Select Phone Information
Set Preferred Network type to "WCDMA Only"
Reboot and let it sit for 5 minutes without touching it to update it's settings.
It should automatically change but if not, Do it again and make sure Preferred Network Type is "LTE/CDMA/UMTS auto (prl)"
This got my VISIBLE sim on the right network along with the APN change.
a lot of the secret codes have gone away with the android 10 update hence the need to root. i am unable to change the network type through the typical menu and the dailing code does not bring anything up, just returns to a blank screen. The network is stuck on "LTE/UMTS/GSM" no matter what I do.
Were you able to root with android 10? I heard it hasnt been done as of yet due to the new android 10 features

If I can understand that process better and get the boot.img to root with Magisk, will this even solve my permissions problem with being able to add the apn settings? Is there an alternative or is the only way to solve this to flash the phone back to Android 8 with the stock images off this website to get rid of the Verizon problems? I'd really like to stay with Android 10 if at all possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, can you backup rom android 10 to zip file, i can not update my xp8 OTA updae normally.
Thanks
So I had to get a ATT sim without service from ebay, stuck it in and instantly had a update i could do which brought me to the last update before android 10. I then had to do a complete reset before it would even say it had another update. That got me to android 10. then doing the time/date trick got me to the current security patch level.
Unfortunately it still blocks the second sim slot.
I appreciate the many work-arounds here and will look at getting a SIM from somewhere if needed, but is there not a more simple download / extract path? The unlocked XP8 I recently got is on 8.1.0 and would really like to get a tad more recent if possible. Many thanks in advance!
P.S. Got unlimited connectivity and a number from Mint, so at least a very functional device... have no need, so haven't tried 2nd SIM slot.
