Multiple APN use on Cyanogen 3.4

Hi,
Im using Cyanogen's 3.4 ROM with Hero Theme 1.3.5 and can not for the life of me figure out how MMS is supposed to work simultaneously with data/internet.
I have 2 separate access points configured on the phone, one for the internet and one for MMS.
If i create an MMS whilst the internet APN has the green radio button next to it checked it will not send. However if i go into the APN settings in the phone and check the radio button next to MMS i can send and receive it with no problems but can no longer browse the internet over GPRS / 3G
there is no settings in messages to tell the application which APN to use and it appears that in its current state, the phone is not smart enough to swap over temporarily to the correct APN and then swap back, it has to manually be done.
Is anyone else having this problem or is there something i am missing to get the phone using both APN's at the same time?
Thanks in advance.

Try setting the apn type to "mms" for the MMS one. The checkbox will dissapear, sa that might mean you can no longer manually select it, since it will be selected automatically

Ok i tried that and your right, it did remove the check box. but it didn't fix the problem unfortunately. just for good measure i changed my internet APN to have the APN type and that didnt work. so i removed it, left the MMS APN with the APN type of MMS, powercycled and tried again, still didnt work
Got any other ideas? is anyone able to replicate it? Cheers

You could try to use "default" for the Internet apn type, along with "mms" for the mms one. Other than that.. try searching the internet for the settings.

APN Missing

Very strange situation i m facing for a while...after flashing the rom, i configured the APN setting for internet and mms. everything was fine. today I was having a look to the settings and all missing from there, but internet 3G is working and mms as well .....where are the settings? how both services (mms and 3G) are still working is the settings are gone?

ok. I see nobody can answer... now, after flashing JMF, i got another issue: I configure the internet - apn, then, when I save, nothing appear in APN list. this situation is happen also when I configure the MMS - apn. I can't save these apn's...I made also "Reset to default", but useless. any advice?

[Q] MMS won't work

After reading tons upon tons of answers for how to make MMS work after switching carriers (was on Rogers, now on Koodo) I still have yet to figure out how to make my MMS work...
What I've tried:
Soft Reset
Hard Reset
Official Network Profile App
Officially Developer Unlocking Phone
Using "Samsung Tools"
Acessing Root Menu and changing "AutoDataConfig"
My current Diagnosis version is 0628 (just reinstalled earlier - so... most recent?)
And my WinPhone is on Mango 7720
I apologize if perhaps you've answered this a lot, but I honestly have spent the past 5 continuous hours trying to figure this out (plus, many before)
Thanks for any help and suggestions!

Your Diagnosis is most recent (that's release date in MMDD format)
If you have any manual APN added, uninstall Network Profile, delete those and try again.

Thanks for the response!
Deleted Network Profile and all xap programs...
reinstalled Samsung Tools
Restarted...
Still doesn't work :/
Retry installing/using Root Tools...
Restarted...
MMS still won't send or download
Is there someway I can put in the exact information myself? Instead of it trying to automatically sync on startup?
(I'm with Koodo and they give exact settings:
MMSC URL: http ://aliasredirect.n et/proxy/koodo/mmsc
Proxy server: 74.49.0.18
Port: 80
any way to type that in somewhere?)

Try this. Pasting here fore search reference:
By default WP7 device configures data and MMS settings for the SIM card used on the first boot. If you change the SIM card you can manually change the APN for data, but for MMS settings you would need to reset the phone to initiate the automatic configuration. To reset the phone go to the System page under Settings, tap about, and then tap reset your phone.
Important note: Reset erases all user data from the phone. You must synchronize information using the Zune software or manually back up data before performing this step.
If this doesn't work either, try adding your settings in the APN (settings, cellular, add apn)

Yea, that was one of the first things I tried "Hard Reset"
I assume my Koodo SIM card doesn't like automatically syncing?
EDIT: Yep, Just did another hard/full reset (This time through diagnosis app) annd MMS Still won't send or receive...
(and then once again developer unlocked, tried Samsung Tools, tried Root, and then tried the official Network Profile app - nothing.)

Welcome to the club ! I've been trying to get my Focus to work with FIDO for better part of 7 months. Texting and MMS just does not seem to be configurable with the Rogers Samsung Focus. To the point that I'm now selling mine on Kijiji. Any takers for $200 ? I'll deliver anywhere in north Toronto area!

This is the one of the reasons I am not yet ready to jump to WP7. I have AT&T focus and I use StraightTalk pre-paid. I could never use MMS on it. So, went back to my Xperia Arc even though I love WP7.
I tried all methods OP tried already and gave up. I can never get why MS did such a dumb thing of not having a function to manually add settings. This is going to be a pain in countries like India as people switch SIM cards all the time when they cross state borders.

Im having the same issues with TELUS as well... It sometimes actually works but is really unreliable.

Cricket Fascinate MMS Issue...

Ok Please understand I cannot stress enough about how the phone was working flawless and NOTHING CHANGED on my service. BUT what actually happened was I went from a 2.2 rom, WAP, MMS, everything working flawless because I flashed it myself and had perfect APN Settings that I found online. Non of the other APN settings work. This specific setup worked just flawless. Incoming and outgoing MMS worked like it was a Native cricket phone. And I had the files backed up into my SD Card, so I can just run APN Manager and just restore the files every time I tried a new rom.
Well I went to the new style roms for 2.3. Mainly CM7... But it was flawed for Mobile Data and WiFi so I went back.... month later things were fixed and I went back to CM7 and it was working but had rom errors. So I was working out some things and decided to clean everything. Well I screwed up... I started a format on my SD Card.... I pulled the battery quick but not before the APN Settings were deleted.
I have not been able to get MMS working since then. I just reverted back to stock and everything is working except MMS. I even just backed up a new Cricket Android Phone's APN file and edited my info into it and still no MMS. IDK What else to do.
Anyone have any info?
I remember the names of the APN Files I was using that I copied from someone online (CDMA-MMS) is one of them or something similar to that. But I cannot find anything.

If you can point me in the direction of the sons you used I will test them. I also and flashed to cricket but I've never got my mms to work. Im running a 2.2 rom. I've heard that cm7 and miui have wap and mms issues.

My mms always worked till I lost that apn. I been playing with it and can not find a solution. Idk what is going on.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

Ok I fixed it. Just sent MMS from phone to email with no issues and quite fast.
If you install APN Manager and give me your email address I'll send you my backup. It requires NO PROXY or any sort and hardly any info on the APN. But its a modified APN from a Cricket Android Phone. The actual APN I got off of that phone didn't work very well. But I just started modifying it and things started working soo much better.

can i have that fil my e-mail [email protected] will it work for an evo?

Locked Verizon APN Settings

Good Evening All, (In the East Coast anyway)
I have done a lot of searching in XDA and Google and I can't seem to find too much detail aside from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935144
My question is specifically for the Verizon Retail Samsung Galaxy S5. Since we are rooted, is it possible to navigate to where the APN settings are stored so changes can be made to them despite the fact that the OS locks us out of it? I read that if you use a non Verizon SIM card, the APN settings can be altered as needed.
Does anybody know what in the OS prevents us from changing the APN settings or know if there is some kind of way to force the OS to allow us to change the APN settings? My main goal was to edit the "APN Protocol" settings to force it to use IPv4 instead of allowing the network to use either or. Applications such as Opera Max, due to the Kitkat VPN bug, won't work unless the mobile data connection is an IPv4 address.
Edit: May found found my answer / solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...ates when the APN settings may be configured?

also need help with this issue i have tried everything

My fix for APN Settings SM-G900V [Verizon Galaxy S5]
Okay guys,
I figured I should post this since I can't find anything thing else online solving this issue.
It took me a couple hours of digging around and teaching myself some basic android stuff but I got APN edit access on my Verizon Galaxy S5 G900V APN settings. First, I wanted access because I switched to straight talk and found I wasn't receiving MMS's. But... Verizon locks access to APN's. I won't tell you the story of how I figured it out, I will just tell you what I did and let you make the decision to do it yourself or not AT YOUR OWN RISK.
1) Your phone must be rooted... look around online and choose your own method- it just needs to be rooted. (can't post a link, sorry)
2) install: Build Prop Editor and APN Settings apps from the App store
-----Build Prop Editor allows you to change system values
-----APN Settings is a menu shortcut that you'll need
3) From another forum, I got this information:
** This forum is written for a different phone (Note3) and so are the codes... but they should work long enough to create an APN...
a)Once [build prop editor] is installed find and open Build Prop Editor
b)Hit the menu button and select Edit
c)Scroll to the bottom of screen and add the following lines
#Code:
ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL
d)Hit the save button at the top right hand corner of the screen (looks like a floppy disk)
e)Once this is done saving restart the phone
----This part is where it gets weird. Adding the codes in build.prop creates menu issues so you can't navigate to the APN menu
4) open the app that you downloaded in step 2 (APN Settings), that will bypass the menu.
5) determine the APN you need to create and create it (depends on your provider, do some research) (again, can't post url links)
6) go back to build.prop.editor and delete the lines that you added in step 3 and reboot the phone
7) navigate to your APN settings via the menu, the APN you created will not be visible but it will still be there. Select the Verizon APN so you can connect your phone to 3G or 4G data.
8) Try MMS or group texts
That should be it... If you don't get MMS's go through the process again and try another APN (you may have the wrong one) or you can delete all but the factory APN's to return your phone to the way it used to be.
This worked for me and I hope it works for you too.
P.S. sorry this is a bit late in all the forums

Hello. I was able to make all the changes listed above. I am running into a problem when I change the mnc to my provider straight talk. Basically whatever apn I was attempting to modify is deleted, and I run I to the same problem when creating new apns. I can enter a name and change the apn but that's it. If I make any other changes the apn is no longer in my list.
Thanks,

Hey. So I am not too sure why you don't have permissions to edit apn settings. These are the apn settings Iaccessed and used to get it working on mine... then it is hidden when deleting the build prop codes.
Name
APN
MMSC
MMS Proxy
MMS Port
APN Type
If you don't have access to create a new APN and change those settings following my method, I don't know what to say... Is your phone model a SM-G900V running android 4.4.4? - that's what mine is.
The only other thing I could think is maybe the kernel version when you rooted your phone. I have 3.4.0 and used towelroot and oden to flash it.
Also, I am using Textra as my messaging application and manually configure the APN in those settings to the same one I created.

Hate bumping old threads, but I feel it's relevant in this case. I used the above method to successfully edit the APN and regain internet access and get MMS. However, if I go to Settings>More Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point names, there are none listed at all. I am not getting 4G signal on my SM-G900V running android 4.4.2.
Is there a way to get the actual vzwinternet apn to appear in that menu?

Any updated fixes for this that don't mess with the APN menu? Running Deodexed Optimal ROM and just got my S5 activated on ST. It appears that I can receive photos, but I can't use any apps without being told I have no data/network connection unless WiFi is enabled. Calls and texts appears to work fine. Can not add new APN or edit the verizon one that's in there.

I have the same problem as you with an LG G4 from Verizon on straighttalk. I had ST fix their end to get my data working. They have the Verizon APN settings saved on their server for your phone but their settings have to match your settings. Since you cannot add/edit your APN they have to delete their settings and let it pull from your phone. Verizon lets them use certain APNs for their side of the network, that is why their settings are different than your phone and why they will strongly ask you to update them (even though you cannot). I found this information out because their APN settings got updated when my service renewed. I'm not sure if this will be a problem on each renew or if Verizon/ST will work that out.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 g900v. I am currently using Straight Talk BYOP program. I am having some issues with service and having 3g instead of 4g. It is a 4g capable phone. I am trying to get into the APN settings to change it up to Straight Talks Information, but it is Locked (greyed) out. Is their any way to access this? I am currently rooted and running a custom deodexed rom

change your radio settings

I think if you search you can find info on XDA about enabling all radios for your phone. if its rooted you can try an apk like signal booster or one of those. They have advanced settings that let you select CDMA/GSM/LTE and prioritize your connection.
If you are rooted you can use coded in the dialer to access those same settings and change your connection prefs.
If I had a link I would share.

I used Ricks ROM for a base and got this working. I was able to add APNs but not take away the Verizon one. It works.

I ended up just having to call Straight Talk and they did something on their end that took effect at or around midnight that night. Problem is I had to call them again the following month because after refilling my airtime a day before cutoff I lost my data(which is weird because the new card went in to my reserve). They did something on their end that immediately took effect after a reboot of my device. I'm hoping I don't have to do this every time I refill.

Straight Talk only works for 1 month at time

I have the same problem. I have 2 Verizon Samsung S5 that I have transferred to Straight Talk. Every month for the past 4 months I lose my data signal (calls work fine) . I have to call ST tech support and spend between 15 - 45 minutes (depending on how knowledgeable the tech person is) to get it reset so it works. Each phone does this on a different day so I have to do this twice a month. :crying:
They reset the provisioning on their end. Then I power off and reboot and it works for another month. Does anyone know what I have to set the APN to to fix this problem?
When I used the method in this thread and take the lines out of the build.prop, Only Verizon Internet shows under the APN. Do I need to add a ST APN and not comment out the lines?

I know this is old, but I can't find any way to edit apn settings for my nougat phone on straight talk through verizon towers. Nothing works, even with root.

I have a galaxy j3 sm-j337vpp
Thanks,

I know this is really old, but if someone is searching for the unable to edit APN for a Verzion phone, I have a fix.
Connect the phone for ADB debugging. Then open ADB shell and use the command:
am start -a android.intent.action.INSERT content://telephony/carriers --ei simId -1
It won't let you edit the current one or list, but you can add a new one now, and use it. Just reboot the phone after the new APN is in place.
