[GUIDE] How to change APN for mobile data on Kyocera Brigadier

This guide it will show how to change APN on Kyocera Brigadier and get rid of Verizon Bloatware.
This is for those who use Brigadier in other network (country ) than Verizon USA.
This tutorial is for Windows only. (because drivers and Debloater software)
1. Go to Settings then scroll down to "About phone" and then down to "Build number". Click on the item 7 times in a row. This will say Now you are a Developer.
2 Open the "Developer Options" and mark "USB debugging".
3. First make sure you have installed correctly the drivers for Kyocera Brigadier and your computer sees properly the phone.
You can install drivers from here
4. Connect the phone and select Media Sync Mode. (now the computer must see your E6782). Cancel the installation of Verizon software.
5. Go here to download and install Debloater. (skip warnings of your windows or antivirus)
6. Open Debloater (your phone still connected to computer) (make sure the phone is connected before open Debloater)
7. In up left corner you have "Read Device Packages" - press it, (t will read the processes of your phone)
8. Check the apps (first column) or processes (second column) that you don´t want to use.
Search for qualcomm and check qcrilmsgtunnel.apk alias com.qualcomm.qcrilmsgtunnel (this is what block the editing of APN)
I checked all Amazon, Nhl, all Verizon except VZWService (it will mess the programmable button and every time you open the phone it will ask for program it)
9. When you finish to mark click Apply and wait for Debloater block all services.
10. Disconnect your phone and go to Settings > More > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names and you will see in right corner a plus. Click it and introduce your Network provider settings and save.
Usually on name put whatever you want, on APN put net and APN type put default but you can check on provider's website for manual settings.
11. Check on mobile data, close Wi-Fi and verify if you have mobile internet.
12. Restart the phone and then go back and verify if you can edit again APN. (if not, repeat steps 6-10)
GOOD LUCK!

Nice job, thank you! So, who is going to be the first to try this on AT&T or T-Mobile in the United States?

Hi!!
I've tried on my kyocera brigadier,installing usb driver for windows 7 64-bit,installed debloader (v3.15) and skipped the installation of Verizon software.
Usb debug mode and windows mediasync enabled.
I opened Debloader and the phone was correctly recognised by the program (2 green dot but not the one for the brigadier rooted naturally).
The problem is that when I click on the button that says "Read Device packages",it doesn't read anything! It is stuck on "processing 0 files..." and nothing else happens!!
Someone has had more luck than me?
thank you!!
P.S: mine is an Italian provider "Wind" and the proper apn is "internet.wind"

Sorry te hear this... Usually, all people who I spoke did it right and it always works. So I belive it's a problem with your software... Normally it should work. Try to uninstall and reinstall the software and the drivers... But if you say you see 2 greens circles idk what happens...

How to get Kyocera DuraScout in RO
Hi Obsy,
Can you please help me with some information on this phone, which version to get, from where and if it fully works in Romania. I am not really knowledgeable with phones...
1. Is the US Verizon version of e6782 (they call it Brigadier) capable of GSM connection?
2. There is a version for US small provider BlueGrass, do you know if this is the same as Verizon? of different is some way?
3. On Kyocera site there is also a version called DuraScout, is it the same as Brigadier? What I could understand is that Brigadier might be the CDMA version, and DuraScout the GSM version. Do you have an idea if this is so or not?
4. If we can change the APN in Romania to work on Orange, does it fully work? I mean LTE speed and HSDPA?
Do all other functions work?
5. Is The Verizon version locked in some other way than APN?
Thank you very much for your answer.
PS: I wrote in english because I see this is an english forum.

HI! Yes it's an international forum so usually English it's a must.
I will merge 1,2,3 questions and 4 with 5, so:
First, about Brigadier from Bluegrass idk to much things about frequency but I guess it's identically.
Between Brigadier and Durascout I always choose Brigadier because of Sapphire screen and dedicated camera button. What I don't like is the back of phone.
Second, the Brigadier works very well in Romania. (I'm on Orange too) It won't work LTE but HSPA+. I have a friend which said he could make 4G work (he did it on Hydro Life) but it must root.
Until we can make root there is some Verizon services who I can't stop but I don't bother anymore coz my interest was mobile data.
In the Bluegrass version I think exist much less bloatware but it's a little expensive...
Send me a message with your telephone number to discuss more.

Sorry, I made a mistake... A confusion between Durascout and Duraforce... So Durascout is identically with Brigadier the only difference is branding (Verizon vs Kyocera). Duraforce from AT&T is the one without Sapphire screen and camera button

How To Change APN For Mobile Data On Kyocera Brigadier
I got a Kyocera Brigadier today and made the change to allow APN changes. Then I tried a T-Mobile SIM card, but I get only data, no phone calls or texts. Does anybody know what I should try next?

Curious because normally we can do calls and sms but no data.... Only if u get a coded phone by Verizon and the things are a little complicated. From where you get the phone and how much?

How To Change APN For Mobile Data On Kyocera Brigadier
I downloaded Debloater last night and made the change to allow access to the APN Settings. At the risk of pointing out the obvious, not all cables are created equally. The first micro USB cable appeared to connect to the Brigadier, but I could connect with that software. I tried a different micro USB cable and suddenly Debloater was able to connect with the Brigadier and I made the update. So, just in case anybody here has similar problems communicating wiht the phone, give some thought to trying a different sync cable!

Are All T-Mobile Nano SIM Cards Created Equally?
As posted above, is there more than one type of T-Mobile nano SIM card? Here is why I ask. Recently I bought a Kyocera Brigadier.
-It phone works great with a Verizon nano SIM card.
-I unlocked it with Bebloater software to allow the APN settings to be changed.
-The phone works great with an AT&T SIM card.
-Today I stopped at a T-Mobile store, they removed a nano SIM card from an Apple iPhone 6 and the Kyocera Brigadier worked great.
-Later I stopped at a different T-Mobile store, activated a brand new nano SIM card and the Brigadier Kyocera turns off and on constantly with that SIM card.
So, I am just wondering why the Brigadier would work fine with SIM card that was already activated, but not with a new activation?

Great! Thanks so much, now data is fine.
I an in NZ, with 2Degrees mobile.
Phone worked for voice, but no data. (phone is version 1.102)
2 minor problems:
1) kyocera drivers have extension .MAN , need to rename to .MSI
2)Initially the usb debugging permission prompt on the phone was hidden behind some other app or something, so the ADB wasn't connecting.
So I am left with 2 issues:
- powerup FUD message: "This Sim Card is from an Unknown Source"
The fix is supposed to be to freeze the setup wizard, but I have done that from debloater, and I still get the message.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...elp-please-t2815912/post56990094#post56990094
2) Can't do phone update. I suspect I need to get a verizon SIM card to do the update

Welcome!
I didn't managed to get rid of the annoying message...
For update the phone u must have an activated Verizon SIM card

Do you think it will work OK from overseas with the verizon card?
Not sure what to get, looking on ebay, there are a confusing plethora of sim cards, many of which seem to be specific to iphone or cdma and so on.....
-------
On another note here is another Brigagdier peculiarity:
This page:
teckfront.com/enable-home-button-wake-android-kitkat-4-4-phone
shows KitKat having a setup menu item
Devices->Buttons->Home Button Wake
On the brigadier this seems to have been replaced with the "Programmable Key" item.
Any ideas to get the default Kit Kat "Buttons" option back again?
I find the power button wake pretty cack-handed and annoying, and the programmable key is not very responsive.

I have the original Verizon SIM card which the phone came with but unfortunately I cannot activate it from my country... No signal... So none of Verizon function work.
Verizon input a lot of annoying things (software) to Brigadier... I have set the red key to wake up the phone. (you must long press the button)
I think there is a lot of apps that can remap the buttons but I guess it must root...

If you like, you can post the SIM to my son in USA, and I will get him to take it to a Verizon store, and ask them to activate it.
Can't really guarantee success - anything to do with US cellphone companies seems to be problems! But anyway, probably worth the cost of an envelope....
Then he can post it back to me, and I will send it to you.

Thanks for your help but to activate the SIM it is necessary a plan to be paid so I cancelled this idea.

They do seem to have paygo plans, and a $15 load looks like the min. $15 expires in a month, but most countries sims seem to live for 3-12 months without any load.
Todays problem is that there is no audio from my microphone to the person I am calling. My microphone is electrically and acoustically working as there is internal echo i.e. as I speak I can hear an echo coming out of the earpiece, and in speakerphone I can get feedback.
But when I call another phone, they hear nothing.
If I use sound recorder, nothing is recorded either.
Enabling everything I disabled makes no difference......
Do you know if I do a factory reset, will I need a Verizon SIM again to get the phone going?
Or can I get it working again with a local SIM?

You can do factory reset without any SIM, but I think it won't resolve anything... It might be an hardware issue. Better you can write to Kyocera about this problem. I have an annoying delay (the other person can't hear me for 1-2 seconds) after answering and another problem is a fizzle at every sounds played, even if the phone is on silent. These are software problems... So.. Good luck!

APN Settings with T-Mobile

Hello Experts
Just received my brand new Xperia XZ Premium international Dual sim on Sunday. I've been with Sprint for twenty years but wanted this phone badly and stepped into a T-Mobile store today.
They inserted SIM card in slot one and proceeded to activate phone. Everything seems to be there under access point except the enable/disable is grayed out even though is says APN enabled.
I contacted seller through Amazon and they said to do a factory reset. I have four times. What am I doing wrong?? Does the SIM card be active before placing it in SIM tray??

Um... Where exactly do you see "enable/disable" under APN settings?

Under Access Point Names

You might have to activate the SIM first. Make sure you select "LTE preferred" and when you search for service providers it should automatically choose T Mobile, if not, manually select it. It should also populate the APN settings automatically, but you can enter them manually. Check here:

Sim Card Working
Yes that was it. The Sim card must be activated first. You would have thought the genius at T-Mobile would have known this. All is well thank you experts. One more thing I updated the phone with the new Oreo and now every time I DL an app from The Play Store it crashes with message com.android. phone has stopped. Then it asks to close the app and takes me out and I have to finger print my way back in. The apps are downloading but this is getting tiresome. I've already factory reset twice so please don't ask me to do that again lol! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have the International dual Sim model 8142

Above the power button....

You may want to get the Apn automatically then change the apn type to blank (don't fill in) and the apn protocol to ipv4/ipv6. I had an issue with hotspot until I changed those. The automatic update isn't accurate.

Can anyone assist? I have the international dual sim xperia xz premium. I had been set up an working fine on the T-Mobile network. Fingerprint scanner was working. Everything was working fine. Then problems arose. The phone starting having horrendous signal issues. When you made and received phone calls, you could not hear the other person well at all (to the point people would hang up in frustration). No matter who I call this was happening. I thought it might be a sim issue. I put that same sim in a nexus 6p, and had no problems. I tried factory reset a couple times on the xperia and nothing has helped. Another thing i noted, is there is nothing under APN settings. I alerted T-Mobile of this and they put the settings in, but they dont seem to stick (save). At this point my xperia is an xpensive paper weight. Can anyone guide me in the correct direction. Really in need of help. Everyone has been hounding me to jump to iphone because of this. Not giving up yet.

Mi Mix 2S on Visible (Verizon MVNO)

Has anyone managed to get this phone successfully working on the Visible network? It works on Verizon, so there should be no technical reason why it won't work on Visible as they are literally owned by Verizon. I activated my wife's iPhone SE and it works great for her. Stuck that active SIM in my phone and couldn't get it working for the life of me. I found the APNs to add, but I could never get the phone to let me add them.
If anyone has any tips I would greatly appreciate it!

What's the issue with the phone not letting you add the APN? Do you get any error messages or something?

I'm not sure what the issue is, when I put the Visible SIM in the phone and then view the APNs under the SIM card settings, I try to add one and the only option that isn't greyed out is the "APN" box. I can't enter anything in any of the other fields.

This seems to be a stupid google/verizon issue. Anyway, try this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pi...llular-apn-t3697425/post75157321#post75157321
I am not sure if it will work on android 9/10/MIUI, it should. If it doesn't work, let me know and we can take it from there.

So I ended up finding a user who'd created an app in order to manually add APNs to MIUI devices. That allowed me to manually add the APNs I needed to my phone. But even after installing the Visible app and signing in, then rebooting several times, even going into the phone information screen and trying to force provisioning and manually enable VoLTE I had no luck. For some reason this carrier just doesn't seem to be compatible with this device which is a real bummer.

setup problems with Samsung A71

Hello all,
i have a strange Problem with my A71 which i use as a work phone. We got the order to migrate some internal stuff which makes it necessary to reset the mobile phone. in the description i think they missed one important point, delete / unenroll the google account first and then make a reset...but i'm not sure.
Because now after i done the reset it's not possible to get to the screen where it is possible to enter the google credentials. Means the telephone starts, i enter the PIN from the SIM, accept the User terms and conditions, log into my W-LAN, the phone search for updates, ask me if i might be restore data from an old phone. After that a quick screen pops up with the note "Checking" and then i see the error
Log in not possible
There was a problem communicating with the Google servers, please try again later.
In addition. When i try to connect with the normal mobile network, it says thats not possible to connect with the internet
What we have here?
is it the FRP or any other "the phone is locked" thing? and how i can resolve this problem?
Because the SIM is working fine...tested with another phone. And the W-LAN is working as well.
Thanks in advance
Greetings

Hmm... If it's the device of your company, they should help you.
If it's your private device, then try to do the factory reset again in recovery mode. Hopefully it helps.

go download the fosctory FW from sammobile.com/firmware and use samfirm to actually download it (its literally 4x faster than directly from the site) and flash it with the CSC instead of the HOME_CSC. Once you do that, itll think its a brand new phone and itll truly factory reset it which recovery factory reset doesnt do really. If you were wanting to keep your data on the device, youd use HOME_CSC. Thats the only difference between the two, but its a BIG difference and ive seen people use the wrong one multiple times LOL myself included LOLOLOL

No SIM detected (SIM works fine)

PROBLEM:
Purchased new sim card with Mint Mobile for Google Pixel 3. Phone is not recognizing SIM card. Google Pixel 3 Forum did not respond. Is there another place to put this question?
DETAILS:
Phone is compatible, sim is functioning and active.
Bought phone on Ebay. Seller said it is unlocked. IMEI Check came back inconclusive though.
Sim Status: Not Available.
Phone number: Unknown.
Phone did not come with SIM Tray. Purchased google Pixel 3 XL sim tray online. Seems to fit right into slot.
Double checked sim was inserted on correct side. Reset network settings + Factory reset phone.
Sim works fine in Razer 2 Phone.
SIM option greyed out in Network Settings.
QUESTION: Does anyone have any troubleshooting solutions? I would like to switch to this phone and I need the phone to recognize the SIM card.

Clear data in Sim Toolkit.
Network reset.
Check hidden phone settings.
Check sim card electrical contacts... that's all I got.
Return for refund.

Hidden phone settings? you mean developer mode options? Do you know which options would be causing the issue? I skimmed over them and didn't know what I was looking for.

Ones not accessible to a stock Android user like toggling on the blue light filter. In settings it will be off but it's running anyway. A book reading app did that to me when it did an unclean uninstall. I had to reinstall it, change the setting, then uninstall again to fix the issue.
Perhaps accessible with adb editing but you would need to find it first.
Otherwise a factory reset would be needed to purge the erroneous setting.
