It took me quiet some time to figure this out, but after reading many threads I finally got it right. After flashing and rooting my Xperia X10a (ATT) I could not get 3g to work, so here's what I did to manually set up APN:
To configure Internet settings manually:
1. From the Home screen, find and tap Settings.
2. Tap Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Access Point Names.
3. Press the Menu key (bottom left button with four squares above it).
4. Tap New APN.
5. Tap Name and tap the Name text bar to enter the name of the network profile you want to create. Tap OK.
6. Tap APN and tap the APN text bar to enter the access point name. Tap OK.
7. Tap and enter all other information required by your network operator.
8. Press the Menu key and tap Save.
Type in these settings (thanks Tony_C):
<name> AT&T
<apn> wap.cingular
<proxy> wireless.cingular.com
<port> 80
<username> not set
<password> not set
<server> not set
<mmsc> http://mmsc.cingular.com
<mms proxy> wireless.cingular.com
<mms port> 80
<mcc> 310
<mnc> 410
<apn type> not set
Note: "not set" means you input nothing - leave as is.
Once you complete the process you will more than likely see an "H" in place of the "3g". 3G icon indicates that Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) 3G service is available in the area. H icon indicates that Highspeed Downlink Packet Access (HSPDA) 3.5G service is available in the area.
So basically the "H" indicates 3.5g.
I hope this helps.
Peace,
Ken
when I installed the Br/GEL 2.1 firmware, if you go to the top of the Settings page, it says "Sony Ericsson" - select that, and it will automatically download the settings based on the SIM card. It installed two APN's for ATT. One for Internet and one for MMS.
I had read about others doing the same thing and automatically updating their APN, but for some reason it would not work for me.
I had to do it manually.
Thanks.
Repeated topic. This has been discussed many times. Please go here and here and here and here.
Thanks for the links batman. I've read a lot of your posts on the forum and you've helped me out a lot.
I had read the four links you posted (along with many others) but could never seem to configure APN properly.
Finally I realized I was missing step 3 listed above - Press the Menu key (bottom left button with four squares above it).
Being as new to the smart phone universe as I am, it took me awhile to figure it out.
Hopefully this post will help others who are as new to this technology as I am.
Thanks Again,
Ken

Hi:
I am a bit confused by the reply to the OPs question. Will Cingular WAP settings work with Cincinnati Bell Wireless? It doesn't seem like they should.
The reason I am asking is I gave my old Tilt to a friend who has Cincinnati Bell Wireless, and for some reason it won't work.
The phone is SIM unlocked (by code provided by AT&T).
It seems to get signal(with CBW SIM card), and says Cincinnati Bell on the carrier info, but if you try to place a call, it does not go through. When you place a call to the phone, there is a busy signal. The internet of course will not work, since I only have the AT&T settings in there (which is the carrier I used).
Please help, I am desperate.
Thanks!
Bump!
Please, I am really desperate to figure out what the problem is. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

To work with Cinci bell, you also need to do this:
1. Go to Start->Programs->Tools->Proxy Manager
2. Disable proxy.
It drove me nuts until I finally remembered about their "hidden proxy" which is really only needed for Cingular Video.
Cheers!
Just so you know, wap settings have nothing to do with voice calls. Voice should work without any wap settings being inputted at all.
Hi New Zealanders or travellers to NZ.
Below are the instructions for setting up your GPRS and MMS settings in WM6.1 for the Vodafone network in New Zealand. Getting these settings to work on my HTC Wizard has been a big mission and has basically come down to trial and error. Using these settings, you will have a GPRS connection when you are out of WiFi range, and you will be able to send and recieve MMS/PXT without problem.
The manual step by step instructions on the Vodafone NZ website for the i-Mate K-JAM didn't work, and their mobile portal where the settings can be SMS'd to your phone didn't come through to mine (despite SMS working perfectly well when sending and receiving from others). Also, no other resource was any help either (even going in to the Vodafone store resulted in shruggs from the staff who basically said "you bought it overseas, we don't support that phone, we can't help you" - dicks).
So, I've assumed I'm not the only other one out there having a nightmare with VFNZ settings and have decided to give something back to the site that has helped me so much (thanks xda-developers!).
Assuming you don't have any settings existing in your phone (maybe a hard-reset is a good idea to clear everything first), these settings should work like a charm.
Setting up GPRS (Internet access)
1. On the handset, tap on the Start button.
2. Tap on Settings.
3. Tap on Connections tab.
4. Tap on the Connections Icon.
5. Tap on Add a new modem connection under My ISP.
6. Enter VFNZ Internet in the Enter a name for the connection field.
7. Select Cellular Line (GPRS) in the drop down list of Select a modem.
8. Tap Next.
9. Enter www.vodafone.net.nz in the Access point name field.
10. Tap Next.
11. Leave the User name field blank.
12. Leave the Password & Domain fields blank.
13. Tap Advanced.
14. Select Use server-assigned IP address.
15. Tap OK.
16. Tap Finish.
Setting up MMS/PXT
1. On the handset, tap on the Start button.
2. Tap on Settings.
3. Tap on Connections tab.
4. Tap on the Connections icon.
5. Under My Work Network, tap on Add a new modem connection.
6. Enter Vodafone MMS in the Enter a name for the connection field.
7. Select Cellular Line (GPRS) in the drop down list of Select a modem.
8. Tap Next.
9. Enter live.vodafone.com in the Access point name field. Tap Next.
10. Enter 'voda' in the User name field.
11. Enter 'fone' in the Password field and leave the Domain field blank.
12. Tap Advanced.
13. Select Use server-assigned IP address. Tap OK.
14. Tap Finish.
15. Tap on the Proxy Settings tab. Make sure the two boxes are unticked.
16. Tap OK 3 times to get back to the today screen.
17. Push the on the handset Messaging button.
18. Tap on Menu which is located at the bottom right corner.
19. Tap on Options.
20. Tap on MMS to bring up the MMS Configuration.
21. Tap on the Servers tab.
22. Tap on the New button.
23. Enter VFNZ MMS in the Server name field.
24. Enter 172.30.38.3 in the Gateway field.
25. Enter 9201 Port number field.
26. Enter http://pxt.vodafone.net.nz/pxtsend in the Server Address field.
27. Select My Work Network in the Connect via drop down selection.
28. Select WAP 1.2 in the WAP Version drop down selection.
29. Tap on OK.
30. Select VFNZ MMS in the MMS Configuration list.
31. Tap on Set As Default.
32. Tap OK 3 times to get back to the Today screen.
And there you have it. I believe you need to actually send an MMS message to someone before you are able to start receiving them, so make sure you do that after configuring the phone. Good luck!
You are my hero. Ive been trying for 2 months since I got one of these phones to get the settings working. Even the guy at the local Vodafone shop had NO clue what he was doing.
Awesome stuff
My pleasure, glad to help someone out

Cheers mate. This has been bugging me big time.
Hi micool_nz
I am using samsung Omnia mobile in NZ bought from singapore. It has got windows mobile 6.1 OS. I have been trying to set up the MMS configuration in my mobile but failed. Even now, I followed your suggestions and didnt get it to work for some reason. It keeps on saying me could not send MMS msg. Kindly help. I have options for WAP 1.0 ,WAP 2.0 or none as options and not WAP 1.2 in my mobile. Also, in step 22. I cant find server tab, instead I have sending, receiving, profile, compose and about tabs. In profile tab, I have 2 options - set profile as default or edit profile. When I go add new profile and followed your suggestions as below
MMS Profile - VFNZ MMS
MMSC - http://pxt.vodafone.net.nz/pxtsend
Data Connections - Among the options vodafone MMS and Vodafone, I selected vodafone as that is my network name. But tried with both and didnt work.
Gateway - WAP 1.0 or WAP 2.0 tried both but didnt work
IP Address - 172.30.38.3
Port - 9201
Despite of following all the above settings, my MMS is not working.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Samsung Omnia
Hi vbrsekhar
Did you get your internet sorted? I have been struggling for more than a month to get connected to the internet with my Omnia.
I have tried the GPRS settings as described here, but it is still not connecting.
I get this error message. "Dialed: www .vodafone. net. nz Cannot connect for unknown reason. To check your connection settings...".
Vodafone nz can't help. Samsung omnia is not supported by them. I have tried another network with different setting of course, and it works fine.

Hi Guys,
Try the settings in this CAB file, it automatically updates all NZ Vodafone settings.
The only thing I have currently found is an odd MMS problem with WM 6.5 not automatically being set up through this cab however you should be able to add it sucessfully the manual way as described above.
And don't bother with asking the Vodafone storeclerks they're hired just to sell phones, i've run into problems trying to get data plans loaded (they didn't even know what the phone was )
No Start\Settings\Connections
Hi guys
Thanks for the CAB file enclave.
I got a HTC HD2 in Australia locked to Telstra, I want to use it on Vodafone here in NZ. I have made some reg edits to get rid of some Telstra stuff, and have installed this cab file above which unlocked a few things, but still can not get the "Start\Settings\Connections" dialogue to come up.
Anybody know where in the registry I can turn this menu item back on?
I hit START, I hit the cog shaped SETTINGS icon, I get a Blue Settings menu, which has WIRELESS CONTROLS and DATA SERVICES but nothing about CONNECTIONS.
I want to set up VODAFONE MMS in the My Work Network but can't find it!
Matt
Try automatic configuration on the HD2

Hi Matt,
I too now have an HTC HD2 (International Version) and I found there is an easy way for the settings to be configured automatically from the Vodafone network. This should work for you too, unless the Telstra version of the HD2 has some network locks.
On the Blue settings menu you described where you saw Wireless Controls and Data Services, down the bottom right there should be a Menu option. Tap on that and select All Settings. From there, tap on Connections, then tap on Connection Setup.
All going well you should have two drop down lists. One with the Country (change it to New Zealand if it isn't already selected) and the second one with Operator (select Vodafone NZ if it isn't already selected). Tap on the OK option on the bottom left and the correct settings (including MMS/PXT settings) will be automatically downloaded to your phone from the VF network.
It worked a treat for me on my HD2. See how you go
Regards,
Mike
Hi Mike,
Thanks for that.
There is a MENU button and it does have a CONNECTIONS tab on it but it doesn't take me to a CONNECTION SETUP, just to the
Add a new modem connection
Add a new VPN server connection
Set up my proxy server
Manage existing connections
menu, I might try adding the vodafone MMS settings you suggeste in your initial post here and see how it flies....
...oops, we reached our limit.
Fingers too fat to type on the thing, too many hours spent in set up, it is going back to the shop.
Bye everybody, thanks for help, peace and love.

You are actually my personal jesus, thank you so much for these settings.
Hi Guys,
Any chance of a Cab for UK Vodafone setting. Tried to edit reg but cant Unlock MMS Server For Change..
Help welcome
Hello all, I am requesting help with an issue that I am having with my HD2.
Ive had the phone for a little over a month now, and it is a great device. I bought the phone unlocked, and it was working just fine. But recently the pass code (the 4 digit pin to use the phone) to unlock the phone stopped working, because of this i had to do a hard reset on the phone. This set everything back to factory settings.
After some work I got most of everything back to normal, my only issue that i am having is Sending MMS messages. I have the server set up correctly as well as the data connections to the internet but for some reason it still wont let me send MMS messages.
I searched all over the board but nothing i found could help me so far.
If anyone has any advice or know how on how to fix this problem it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Ive searched the entire board thoruoughly, and unfortunatly most of them only talk about fixing the MMS server (which isnt my problem), unless i overlooked something
@Shum97 i appreciate that, but thats the set up for Virgin Mobile phones, not ATT
No other help? Anyone?
i dont know about at+t but on o2 uk i have to have two data connections set up. One is the proper mobile data "mobile web", the other is wap, "o2 active", and this is the one used for mms.
If i set the mms settings to use the regular data account it fails.
Thing is, when you go to settings all settings connection connection and press 'manage existing connections' you only see the mobile web account available to edit.
What you need to do to see the other is go to advanced tab, and 'select networks'.
In the top dropdown, mine says mobile web, but if i change that and choose o2 active instead, click OK, and now go back to the tasks tab, the top half now lets me click 'manage existing accounts' to edit the o2 active account instead of the mobile web account.
(dont forget to change it back, else progs that auto connect to the net will try to use the wap account. In my case it still works, but is slow, and i think costs.)
So, , , not sure if it is any help to you, but when i set up manually, (and i have done three or four times) i ...
1 - set up the o2 active wap account
2 - set up the mobile data account
3 - set up the mms server settings, making sure to choose o2 active and not mobile web as the connection.
THanks alot, ill be sure to give this a try, Does anyone think Flashing my device might help with my problem?

only if the 'connection setup' has details of the at+t network in it. connection setup for the euro leo can be found as a cab, im sure the tmo one can be too, but i suspect neither will have att network settings in it.
Id guess it's manual all the way, sorry.
ah i see, ill play around with it and see what i can do then
either I am really stupid or my 3g connection for data is not switching on...
yest night I updated the official 2.2 performance update fix (dj steve's kernal etc) onto my streak and have been using wifi ever since....
now when i try to switch on 3G...by going to settings>wireless & networks>mobiles networks and there enable data connection....nuthing happens...
any solutions to this...??..or am I doing something wrong??
ok got it working...apparently the APN had somehow got a 'disabled' written on it...
anyways...now the problem is...firstly it shows G instead of the H before...and secondly its painfully slow.!!
any solutions to this??
EDIT:: now its jumping from H to G n vice versa...
lol..what the flip is up with it....
My 3g disappeared sometime on Friday so if you're in the UK I can't help wondering if O2 have been meddling... they say they haven't but when I put in the settings they emailed to me, it all works fine again...
try setting up a new APn manually using this - i found this set is faster than my original settings from O2:
1. Press the Menu key
2. Tap Settings
3. Tap Wireless controls
4. Tap Mobile networks
5. Tap Access Point Names
6. Press the Menu key
7. Tap New APN
8. Tap Name then tap the text box and enter O2 Mobile Web then tap OK
9. Tap APN then tap the text box and enter mobile.o2.co.uk then tap OK
10. Skip past Proxy as this is preset blank
11. Skip past Port as this is preset blank
12. Tap Username then tap the text box and enter o2web then tap OK
13. Tap Password then tap the text box and enter password then tap OK
14. Skip past Server, MMSC, MMS proxy, MMS port as these are preset blank
15. Tap MCC then tap the text box and enter 234 then tap OK
16. Tap MNC then tap the text box and enter 10 then tap OK
17. Tap APN type then tap the text box and enter default,supl then tap OK
18. Press the Back key (actually it helps to press Menu>Save first otherwise you have to start again!)
19. Tap the dot next to your new profile to make it the default
20. Press the Back key four times to return to the standby screen.
thanks for tht...
but somehow right now its ripping at 1.8mbps download on o2 3g...not sure if it was tht fast before....
can I ask you on how fast the 3g is for you on o2??
will try out ur method once something screws up here...
edit:: oh god...actually now its avging 1.1-1.3 mbps...not really sure why its fluctuating but if I remember correctly I never got more than 1 mbps before....lets see for how long this lasts...
yeah, mine was atrocious before - I just thought it was O2 signal, but when it was the same in other parts of the country I did wonder! The new settings do seem to give me about 1.6mbps whereas before I was lucky to get past 1 on a good day... although I just tested it again now and it's back to low 1's
Upload speeds are consistently way higher though (higher than download, which is a bit strange!)
If your having slower speed running a custom rom try this out - it helped me. (only for T-Mobile Nexus 6). Got it from geek squads help site. I'm not responsible if you screw up your device. Really its just adding an additional apn though, should be easy.
Tap the Menu button.
Tap Settings.
Tap Wireless and networks or More... (depending on your version of Android).
Tap Mobile Networks.
Tap Access point names.
Tap the Menu button.
Tap New APN.
Enter the following data into the onscreen form, without changing any other settings:
Name - T-Mobile Internet
APN - everywhere
Username - eesecure
Password - secure
MMSC - http://mms/
MMS Proxy - 149.254.201.135
MMS Port - 8080
Authentication type - PAP
APN type - If given a choice, select internet+mms, if the keyboard appears enter *
(As a check, the image below shows blue text in the fields you should have completed)
Tap the Menu button.
Tap Save.
Enable the newly-added APN by ensuring the line is ticked, or the radio button is lit by tapping on it.
Check the notification bar for 4G, H, 3G, E or G with up and down arrows beside it, which will indicate your connection is working.
That's for UK
Appreciate you trying to help but like above, I think what you posted is UK specific. For the US, this is what I used: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-17581
Thanks for the heads up on that, I noticed it. That's why I love XDA!
