HD2 APN settings

Where do you add new APN settings? I went to all settings/connections/connections but don't see any place to insert all the APN settings..?
Original post:
HD2 noobie here. Have it unlocked on AT&T. Phone/SMS all work fine. I don't get any internet(mail, facebook, marketplace, etc.) unless I'm on wifi. I realize being on AT&T I can only get edge(which is fine). I've been on a tmobile phone(G1 on edge prior to getting this phone) since last year with no problems. I figured it was my sim card. I took my old G1 and put my sim in there, works no problems. Also put a different sim card under my account(my dads) in my HD2, same problem. I've narroed it down to the HD2 itself but I have no clue what could be keeping it from getting on edge/internet.
I get a 'Cannot COnnect'' error that says:
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufactuerer's documentation and try again.

Then after hitting 'Dismiss' I see:
Network problem
Make sure your Internet connection is active and check wether other applications that rely on the same connection are working

Any idea? Maybe someone with AT&T has seen this problem before.

Your APN settings are wrong; if you have a TMOUS or Telstra HD2 it won't have AT&T settings on it, you need to create new connection profiles with AT&T settings.

I'm assuming it uses the same APN settings as my G1 on AT&T did? But where the heck do I enter new APN settings at on this phone?

I've looked everywhere for APN settings. Can anyone help please?

settings - all settings - connections - connections

I have tried that and saw NOTHING about APN settings.

updated title. still can't figure this out. surely there are AT&T users on here that had to do this

settings tab - menu - all settings - connections - connections - add a new modem connection - name - cellular line(gprs) then fill in the rest with the at&t access point name and such like.
Then, when you have the modem created, go back to the connections - connections screen, jump to advanced tab, click select networks - and set the top option to your at&t data you just set up.

Please help me set up the APN for t-zones and mms. I have a T-Mobile unlocked HD2 that I flashed to android. I went to settings-wireless & networks-mobile networks-access point names. When I hit Access Point Names, there are no options in it, just a black screen with APN on top so I cannot add anything. How do I set up my T-mobile MMS and t-zones settings? I looked everywhere and could not find a solution. Please help!!!!

Can't find data network

Hello all,
New here. Yesterday I made the mistake of trying out the lagfix thingy and bricked my phone. But managed to reflash back to stock and clockwork thanks to justanothercrowd on this forum.
After I did a reset/reflash - everything seems to work fine excepted that my phone no longer detects networks - even though it says T-Mobile, I can't make any call or have any 3G or EDGE network. So if anyone has any idea or point me to similar thread I'd greatly appreciated (yes, I've already done a few searches).
My phone: T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant - Stock ROM, Rooted, Clockwork
If you need more detail please let me know, thanks a bunch for any help

as far as I know, once the netwrk is detected, your APN settings should be added automaticaly and data should work... did you try to see if the APN settings are there and they are right?

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I even manually go network Operators to select t-mobile, reboot, wiped the phone again just to be sure. It's still can't detect it.
Maybe I'm missing some sorts of package when I did a clean reflash back to the stock ROM?

go to Settings --> Wireless and Network --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names and see if t-mobile is in there, and if it is, make sure the fields are correct (APN, MMSC, MCC, etc) and if T-Mobobile is not there, add it manually, see if that helps

You're right, the APN is empty... I guess I was just checking mobile networks. Can you post the settings? Otherwise I can go hunt around for one.
Thanks a bunch for your help!
Edit: I got it working! Thanks a lot! If anyone else needs the settings:
Name:T-Mobile
APN:epc.tmobile.com
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MCC:310
MNC:260
APN Type:Internet + MMS

glad you got it working... for other people wanting to add manualy, once you get to Access Point Names, click menu, New, and name it T-Mobile, on APN put epc.tmobile.com and leave everything else empty.... reboot the phone and the network will automaticaly fill the rest of the fields

Apn is not working

My nexus one after root APN is not working. Any idea! Please help.

Do you use market enabler? When I set T-Mobile settings in market enabler, all the APN settings switches to T-Mobile. When I restore settings from Market enabler, or reboot my device, Everything goes back and my provider APN settings comes back (I am on Cyanogenmod, only need to choose correct default APN, since my provider has different packets with different access points and then it remains).

A little more info might be useful.
What provider are you on? What is your current APN set up? What ROM are you using (stock or otherwise)? What method did you use to root? As asked by dolphin777, do you have any apps installed that would impact the APN settings?

My issue was I had numbers in the apn when it should just be two lines. Cbw, wap.gocbw.com

I figured it was something silly like that. Glad you got it sorted.
And thanks for posting the solution

Nexus s decided today was good to lose data

My nexus s lost data connection today and it won't turn back on. Even after reset. Anyone else had this?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Maybe check if something's happened to the APN settings / if they have been disabled?
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Network Settings

What am I looking for? I havent changed anything?

Sounds like a network issue, you need to call your carrier.

well .. if your phone didn't need any additional configuration for APN during your very first use, then I guess, as princeasi just mentioned, you might have to check with your network operator for help..
the reason why i told tht you might have to define the APN settings is because, for me, I had to manually add the APN, username /password in order to get access to my carrier's data network ...
maybe you could browsing on this link: http://modmyi.com/wiki/index.php/Carrier_APN_Settings#Italian_Networks
for APN settings..
that link is meant to help configure iPhone APN settings (Android has a lot more parameters to define) .. but the details shud still work with your NexS
(for eg. all settings for my carrier were the same as what were already on my phone by default.. the only thing i had to configure manually was the u/name, password and APN name)
Hope that helps...

I let it auto reconfigure everything and it came back .. not sure what happened

Add APN Option is Missing from Moble Networks

I just noticed my new Note 4 SM-N910V running Android 5.1.1 does not have the Add APN or similar option listed under the Mobile Networks tab. Shouldn't it be listed here? I remember setting up my wife's Note 4 a year or so ago and it was there on hers. Unfortunately, her phone is broke now so I can't check it.
I only have the following under More Networks\Mobile networks:
Mobile Data
Data Roaming
Network Mode
System Select
I'm in the process of transferring my number over from my old phone to this Note 4, so I'm confused, how will I add my correct APN settings if the Add APN option is completing missing from the list of choices?

I found suggestions to run the APN app manually while searching the net.
When I try to launch com.android.settings.apneditor, nothing happens, not even an error message or anything.
When I search for apnsettings, I get two apps:
Service Mode RIL: com.sec.android.RilServiceModeApp.TestApnSettings
Settings: com.android.settings.Settings$ApnSettingsActivity
The Service Mode RIL app gives me an error: Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped
The other app for Settings actually opens an APN screen, but the + button does not work so I still can't add a new APN.
One APN is listed for Verizon Internet. I was going to try to edit it, but the only thing I could change was the APN field as everything else was greyed out.
Pics are attached.
I hope someone has some suggestions I can try. The phone is rooted!

Did you find a solution?
I'm having the exact same problem with my note 4. But I had the APN settings for a while although I couldn't edit them or create new ones. Then I checked recently and the options are gone. My menu settings are the same as your screenshots. Something removed them and if I can find out what could do that, hopefully I can get them back.

Here Is The solution
Download The App " Change Apn " From Playstore Or Apkpure
After Installing The App
Open The App And The APN Settings Will Appear
