I have a metro variant moto g stylus/pro. I know since metro and T-Mobile are on the same network you can switch between the 2 APNs. What is the best T-Mobile APN? Also on my old LG using code 237634#*# 8f im correct on the code unlocked a menu that allowed me to change different network settings and unlock locked APNs also a metro variant. Does anyone know if there is w similar code for moto phones?
In settings, you can go to mobile network, then advanced, then access point names. You can't change what is already there, but you can add one. Here are screen shots of the TMO default settings.

That's why i was asking about the code. Because on my lg stylo 4 (metro) i could use 277634#*# and unlock the preinstalled APN and modify it.

I recently bought 2 - Verizon Samsung galaxy s3's. I coverted both of them to straight talk and the one phone I have absolutely no problems with. Mobile data is a little slow but from what I've read that's pretty common. I followed the exact same steps for the second phone and I cannot get the mobile data to work. When I go in to change and create a new apn I CAN"T. It should have the LTE-Verizon apn grayed out and then I should be able to create the new apn but NOTHING shows up. No LTE-Verizon apn and it doesn't give me the option to create a new apn.
How can I change the apn on this phone so that I can use the mobile data?
Do I have to root this phone?
If I root it do I have to unlock the bootloader in order to root it?
Is there a way to change the apn settings and create a new apn without rooting or unlocking the bootloader?

Do you have a simm in both phones? You need to to have them the same.
Once you install a simm you should be able to do what you want.

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.
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.

If you have weird carriers, then you need to go to the carrier's official homepage, log into your account look up the internet/MMS settings to make the carrier work on phones. It should be in some kind of FAQ section, or whatever. If the carrier is stupid enough to not provide this information on their homepage, then you have to call their customer support service and ask the APN details.
You have to get the precise APN details.
Then you put in these APN details here:
Settings -> Network & Internet -> Mobile Network -> Access Point Names

Note that, this is the path on my Android 11 based OS. If you use e.g. Android 10, the path might be slightly different.
Just wanted to document here how I got Xfinity Mobile working with OnePlus 8T (Unlocked). Putting the SIM card in had SMS and voice calls working but NO data whatsoever (this phone only supports 4G on Verizon/Xfinity Mobile network). Spoke to multiple reps on the phone and chat...no help.
Reading through other forums I decided to just go in and edit the APN (I could not add a new one) but setting it to COMCAST.RSLR.VZWENTP "magically" made it work with Xfinity Mobile.
Hey there! Came across your thread, considering switching to xfinity mobile.
What method did you use to change APN?
Did you change any other APN variables?

as far as i know, you can change apn in android carrier settings.
I noticed my mobile data was not working so thought I would check the APN settings.
The Comcast one no longer worked for me but changing to the Verizon (VZWINTERNET) one did. I'm not sure what, if anything, changed but just wanted to keep this page updated.
I missed some replies earlier but I didn't change anything else in the APN settings but the name.
