I observed in 2.3.4 that while creating an APN (Settings->Wireless & network settings->Mobile networks->Access Point Names), there is option to select IPV4 or IPV6.
Can someone please let me know what change does this make?
Thanks

Check out ipv4 and ipv6 on wikipedia.
You are safe to just leave that on ipv4.
With ICS, the Nexus S can now do IPv6 on T-Mobile USA. You can Google for details on the T-Mobile USA IPv6 Beta
I have HTC HD 7. Previously I had Tmobile and now i just bought Straight talk as my network provider. How can I set up APN so i can access data on my cell? I am able to make calls and sms, NOT MMS and internet? can someone help plz
Try HTC Connection Manager first. It should be in your HTC Marketplace. It should automatically set your gprs. In case it doesn't do that, ask info about APN from your provider so you can type it in manually.
Did you even try a single search? Like, "Set APN on WP7" or something?
Settings -> Cellular -> Network Selection / Add APN.
Alternatively, the Connection Setup app (as recommended by @hatuna; it's in the HTC Apps section of the Marketplace) should work just fine.
I am running into the same issues as OP. When I search for "Setting APN on WP7" the responses indicate the steps to edit / create APN's for the AT&T sim. For the T-Mo sim's, Straight Talk wants us to add Port information but no Proxy and WP7 won't let you save settings if you have a port # but no proxy value.
Try adding it as "my.apn.domainORT", like you would for a port on a web browser.
Alternatively, try using the proxy port, but setting the proxy name to the APN as well.
Finally (first, really), have you tried Connection Setup yet?
Finally managed to make it work. I used these settings :
APN - wap.tracfone
Proxy - 216.155.165.40
Port - 8080
Leave username and password blank.
I am getting 3G speeds with this setting.
I tried the HTC Connection manager but it doesn't have an option for StraightTalk. I did try Tracfone as an option but it didn't work.

Did you find that the Tracfone option reverted to T-Mobile USA after you selected Tracfone and returned back to HTC Connection Manager? Also, did you find a place for the MMSC: http://mms.tracfone.com setting?

Please Help.
I want to use an unlocked t-mobile branded lg g2x on the straight talk network
The APN settings supplied by the straight web site do not work for mms or internet,
If you have the APN settings that work for mms and internet please post them with confirmation that they work.
Thank you very much
Did you get any settings to work?
I want to pull the trigger on this, but not sure if it works (had some issues with the Simple Mobile APN settings on my phone).
Let me know.
Yes ! Please post these settings! I have had my g2x for about a month now with no sms/data at all! It is very frustrating I have tried many apns and cannot find one that works.. .
I got my g2x to work with straightalk last night but only phone and text. No data. Used my sim from my nokia e71. Type in att.mvno in the apn config screen. Trying to come up with the next step to get data.
Working settings for Lg G2x straighttalk
Name: whatever_you_want_the_name_to_be
APN: att.mvno
Username:
Password:
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
EDIT: not sure what MCC and MNC stand for, or what the settings should be, but try leaving the 310, 410 settings in place, if it doesnt work, try leaving them blank.
Here are my settings:
Name
HOME
APN
att.mvno
Leave everything else alone EXCEPT the bottom selection that says:
APN type (here you must enter the following)
default,supl
Then save, next choose to add another APN
make it look like this:
Name
MMS
APN
att.mvno
skip down to
MMSC
http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy
proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
MMS port
80
skip to:
APN type (enter the following)
mms
THEN SAVE
You will see that only one APN has the option to be chosen, that is ok, Just choose the one that is able to be chosen.
Now go back to Homescreen and then reboot your phone.
This works for me, hope it can help you. I tried a hundred different ways and this was it. Capitalization is important, and the APN type was the trick.
GOOD LUCK and let me know if it worked for you.
them settings did not work for me. is there any other settings i can use?

If you are on stock rom then the normal straight talk settings work. Although you will have to download APN manager from the market to delete the T-Mobile apn or else your system will automatically switch to it occasionally which will drop data.
If you are on a custom rom (MIUI, ICS, etc.):
1. Open apn settings
2. Open the T-Mobile apn
DO NOT ERASE OR CHANGE ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE FOLLOWING
3. Change APN to wap.tracfone
4. Change Port to 8080
5. Change MMSC to http://mms.tracfone.com
6. Erase anything typed in the "APN type" field
7. Save
8. Delete any other APNs.
If you already deleted the T-Mobile apn on a custom rom you'll have to reinstall the rom or ask the developer what the apn settings were.
This has always worked for me. Hope it helps.
^^^^ That is the correct solution.
Thank you c1c2doc that worked perfectly!
The latest CM 7.2 has the StraightTalk APN information pre-populated as an option along with Simple. You can also get the T-Mobile SIM card from StraightTalk as well now so you don't have to unlock the phone. Has anyone tried these yet?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
This helped so much on my T-Mobile G1
c1c2doc YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!
How did you figure this out???

I just got my Straighttalk T-mobile SIM up and running. I did not have to unlock my T-mobile GS2, plug-n-play. Took about a day to port my number over, entered the APN settings on the website. Getting data speeds the same as T-mobile, MMS worked the first time. So far, no complaints. I read on another forum that autopay eliminates fees and taxes. We will see.
Anyone having issues with the hotspot feature where it will turn on but when any devices connect to it will not have access to Internet. I've tried setting it both wide open and passwords and nothing. I've even tried different sims (TMobile and ATT) all apn setting seem to be correct as well. I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue?
Update: Thanks to Saloei for the find!
1. Settings\Mobile Network\Carrier\Automatic Registration to disabled - reboot (takes a minute to find carriers)
2. Settings\Mobile Network\Access Point Name (APN)
Create new APN with the following settings:
Name - T-Mobile US LTE
APN - fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy - Not set
Port - not set
Username - Not set
Password - Not set
Server - Not set
MMSC -http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy - Not set
MMS Port - Not set
MCC - 310
MNC - 260
Authentication Type - Not set
APN Type - default,mms,ims*
APN Protocol - IPv4/IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol IPv4
APN - ENABLE
Bearer - Unspecified*
MVNO Type - None
MVNO Value - not set
3. Select new APN by taping the empty space on the far right of the newly made APN (screenshot)
That should be it, thanks again to Saloei.
First test ... Everything is okay and working.

I'm having the same problem you have. I also tried it no passwords needed and still no Internet! I tried it with a tablet and a cell phone.

T-Mobile. I used mobile hotspot many times in the past with my previous phone. I think I'll call them up just to be sure tethering is still active on my account.
Check the apn settings.
Sometimes automatic apn setups add a proxy ip, and that could cause an issue.

Doesn't look like any proxy are set.

I tried but for some reason I'm unable to select the new apn I created using your info posted
I had the same problem. I kept trying and was able to select. I had to touch all the way to the far right of my new APN. Don't know if that was the solution but just keep trying near the edge to right of your new one.

Nice! NP
Wow! Just spent half hour on the phone. The tech from Philippines raved about this phone but couldn't get hotspot to work. He made me create the new APN but did not make me perform the first step (disabling auto registration of the networ). Also, He asked me to choose IPv6 and not either. Worked a charm, thank you so much!
Hi there,
Just wanted to ask if there was a way to adjust the APN settings on the oneplus 7 as it appears it has been greyed out with no "+" sign to add new. Not sure why this is happening as I came from a oneplus 3 device which had this option. My father is traveling in europe right now and has the same device, he is unfortunately unable to edit the APN settings with the purchased sim card which is causing him grief. Why has this been disabled? For some reason as well the carrier that he is using, BONBON in Croatia, the pushed settings are not correct and thus he cannot get internet or 4G internet working. I should mention my device is not rooted or unlocked bootloader and this would not be an option for him over in europe as he is not comfortable nor has the setup to do so.
Is there any help here? It appears it may be just our phones as I checked with another pixel 3 locally here and it has the "+" sign available to add another setting etc.
Thoughts on this, really need some help to get him going over there!
New development:
Turns out the "+" sign has now appeared and we have attempted to enter the following information from BonBon technical support. Unfortunately after we enter the below information and hit save, nothing happens. I have found another post on here indicating that MVNO should be set to something to allow for it to save. Weird. I haven't tried, but here are the results of the APN settings below:
Name: Internet
APN: internet.ht.hr
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Server: Not set
MMS center: Not set
MMS proxy: Not set
MMS port: Not set
MMC: 219
MNC: 01
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: default, supl
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
APN enable/disable: APN enable
Bearer: Unspecified
Mobile virtual network operater (MVNO) type: None
Once I hit save and back out there is nothing there listed, no matter what i did.
check on yur phone if you have an app created on your phone by the sim card:
"SIM Toolbox" or "BonBon services" or something like that
Hi there,
Unfortunately nothing was created, is there an app or tool I can use to get this added? Any ideas as to why it wont save after trying to add?

Having the same problem, and I DO have an app called "Sim Toolbox" listed as somewhere on the phone, but not in the app drawer. Is it part of the problem?
