Samsung Focus on StraightTalk APN Settings - Focus General

I have a Focus on StraightTalk. I have entered the APN settings correctly. Everything works great except for Bing and Marketplace.
I have the Network Profiles app installed, but there is no option for StraightTalk, only ATT. Anybody have a solution??

Configure Hspa on Streakdroid 1.6.1

I have a Dell Streak formally locked to Rogers in Canada running StreakDroid 1.6.1 rom. Have setup a sim for my Bell Mobility acct and have voice and txt but no internet. Sim is setup for hspa network on bell and my network settings are set at GSM/CDMA. Have modified Access point settings with no success. According to bell my IMEI# is compatible with thier network. What do I do to get my hspa working?

Moving to General
Google APN settings for Bell Mobility - you should be able to easily find what your APN settings should be. Then on your Streak go to
menu/settings/Wireless & networks/Mobile networks/Access Point Names
From there you can hit the menu and then New APN and input the settings you found with your Google search. Once you get a new one for Bell (or you could have just changed the settings in the existing entry if that would be easier) set the new one as the default and you should be good to go.

Forcing internet to work in Europe (unlocked AT&T phone)

Got a phone while in USA. Now back home I'm unable to force internet to work.
As I can see Internet and MMS settings are written in firmare. Can see wap.cingular settings using Diagnosis codes.
When I enter APN settings manually my settings are ignored (checked with mobile provider) and wap.cingular is forced back.
How can I fix this?
What is the code to enter the factory menu?
Go to Marketplace, in Apps section (not Samsung Zone) and download "Network Profile" by Samsung.
That's the solution!
Thank you

Simple Mobile APN help with Focus

So I ported over my number from AT&T to Simplemobile for the 40 dollar monthly unlimited everything plan. I have everything working except data. I keep trying to change the APN but it's not working. Does anybody know exactly what settings I need to get data to work on the Samsung Focus? My phone is unlocked by the way. Thanks!

What exactly have you tried so far?
Thanks for the reply! Well I've tried using the Samsung Network Profile app, tried changing the APN by naming the APN "simple." I've also tried using the names simplemobile, Simple Mobile, but anyways its not working. Supposedly simple is supposed to work for the HD7, but it's not working for the focus

I wonder...
Do this: delete all APN you have manually entered.
Change the radio to World instead of North America in Settings/Applications/radio
Then, switch the profile to AT&T from Network profile, reset, then switch back to Simplemobile and reset again.
I hope this does the trick, if it doesn't you would need specific information from Simplemobile...
Type simple in both username and password. I figured it out by chance.
Thanks for the help, can you tell me exactly how you have your focus setup? I'm trying what you said and it isn't working. Do you have the samsung network app installed?
goto the APN settings..
under APN name use value " WWW" thats it.. save it.. restart the phone (if required).
So mine stopped working as well. I have an old Tmobile Dash and it works through that. I do have the Network profile installed as well as the Samsung tools. My focus is totally unlocked, but right now it makes no difference.
So, I deleted the APN and started from scratch. Network settings installed as well as Samsung tools with the 3G marker checked. Even though the 3G cannot work on Tmobile, when I enabled it and then typed in simple for APN, it works.
Hope this helps.
Please Help
Hey can you guys please explain how you got the data and MMS to work on your simple mobile unlocked Focus. I have the Network profile App, but cant find the Samsung tools app on the market place.
Also, what goes into the APN settings (Proxy server, username, etc)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
if in the us your apn (att) would be
APN = wap.cingular
USER NAME = [email protected]
PASSWORD = cingular1
I think that I have internet working on my Samsung Focus on Simple Mobile. I say 'think', because often when I try to open a website I am taken to the url androidapi.t-mobile.com/apppack/mvno.html which displays a 503 error. I tested just now by turning off wi-fi, trying to open a web page over and over again. I got this URL and 503 error a few times and then a web page finally loaded. It's not terribly useful, but it occasionally works - so I'm assuming this is more a problem with the connection than with the settings. Sometimes the cell indicator flips between an E and a G. I don't know what the G means, it's not documented that I could find.
I cannot get MMS to work, and based on my research and some others have said this too, it cannot be made to work. Samsung has an app called "Network Profile" that will change the MMS settings for the Focus, but there is no option for Simple Mobile. Until Samsung updates the app for Simple Mobile, we are out of luck.
The settings I use to get data/internet to work on my Focus are:
Under: Settings - Cellular
Data connection: On
Data roaming options: Don't Roam
Network selection: Automatic
Edit/Create APN
APN: simple
User name: [blank]
Password: [blank]
Proxy server/URL: 216.155.165.50
Proxy port: 8080

The thing I think that is left out of most of the instructions is to go to the secret menu by going to the dialer and entering ##634# and then go to MMS and change the apn there to simple.
Now my Dell Venue Pro is on Simple Mobile and the Internet finally works!
How did you change you MMS settings in diagnostic mode? I can only see the code but cannot find a code to edit the mms or data settings.
I am still stuck even after adding simple apn

The reason most people leave that step out is because it is not a step they can follow. The original question was about the Focus, and the Focus doesn't let users specify the MMS settings. From what I've read, only the Dell Venue Pro gives users direct access to the MMS settings. Which is why it's the only WP7 phone that Simple Mobile officially supports for MMS.
Samsung has a network app for the Focus that allows you to pick a carrier and then it changes the settings as appropriate. Unfortunately, it doesn't support many carriers.
I'm considering making the switch to TMobile prepaid - TMobile shows up in the nework app along with AT&T and so should be supported.
UPDATE: Switched to TMobile. Using the "Network Profile" app set to automatic network profile changing = On and Active Profile = T-Moile USA, I received MMS messages right away. Will do internet testing later. For 10 bucks less a month I would've preferred to stay with Simple Mobile, but since Microsoft / Samsung lock the MMS settings down & Samsung hasn't updated their Network Profile app to support more carriers, I had to make the switch. Glad at least the mms piece is working.
I was able to successfully use both 3G data AND send/receive MMS with the following settings:
APN: simple
MMS:
MMS APC: simple
MMSC: h77p://smpl.mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapeng (Replace sevens with "t"; new user controls...)
AUTH TYPE: None
All other fields are to be left blank.
As mentioned, these settings worked for me marvelously. ...For roughly ten minutes. Then the phone wouldn't wake up, I had to do a battery pull, and mms stopped working. When I go to check the mms settings in EM, it holds onto every value (including blank ones) save for the following:
MMS PORT: (blank)
AUTH TYPE: "None"
Whenever I select "Apply" to save settings, it always force resets those two values to the following:
MMS PORT: 80
AUTH TYPE: "PAP"
Hopefully this is all easy to understand. I've tried at length to search both xda and the world-wide-webz for an answer, but I'm coming up blank. I've always been able to figure this junk out for myself, but this is my first WP7 device, and I'm all kinds of 'tarded with it, haha.
You might want to enable the automatic sim settings. This setting is off by default due to samsung. I think the reason is to keep people on the same carrier that the phone was originally intended for use ie. samsung focus Att
1. Bring up diagnotics app ##634#
2. open diagnostics app located in your apps list (swipe left from start screen)
3. in the diagnostic app type 40*047#3
4. there will be a confimation prompt to confirm autosim detection
5. then the phone will restart and you should have MMS and cellular functionality and internet
This has helped my samsung focus from dropping in and out of my 3g connection...wonderful ...hope this works for you and confirm if it does work please.
I take no credit for this method and here is the original post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1241721
I got mine working without mms. Jailbroke the phone and followed the steps to enable internet connection sharing... that added samsung tools. I don't know what in the end made the difference but I was able to use network profile to tmobile and then add apn simple and it worked.
Since then I moved to straight talk .. att.mvno worked for them for apn but still no mms.

Moto G gen4, CDMA, MMS not working (issue + partial resolution)

I believe this issue is not specific to a variant of the Moto G Gen 4, but in case, mine is a Amazon version with OEM.img flashed in. I have 2 of the same device, configured this way, with the same issue.
Carrier: Sprint / Ting, CDMA/LTE SIM card.
Issue: MMS messages do not send, and do not download.
Things that did not fix it:
-Carrier Reset (*#*#72786#*#* )
-Update PRL
-Update Device Config
-reboots
-MMSC is not visible in *#*#DATA#*#* menu
-Tried switching from Google Hangouts App, to Google Messenger App, no change.
Partial Resolution / Workaround: Set preferred network to 3G instead of LTE. When I did this, I got all of my queued up messages. (I found this idea at a social.ringplus.net discussion 6646 how-to-fix-mms-on-the-moto-g4-plus p2 (new user so I can't link directly, but feel I should give credit where it is due)
I am not a high-data-use person so this works for me at present. Hopefully a real fix will be discovered soon though.
That's a classic example of bad APN settings, are you sure those are right?
Sent from my SM-T530NU using XDA-Developers mobile app
I am not sure. Though I'm a engineer/programmer, I am a novice at phone stuff.
I'm currently testing the "install textra and see how it changes/fixes the behavior" option mentioned on my source thread, and then iteratively testing changes to network type and wifi on/off, on one of the two phones. That seems to have improved it somewhat, but I am not 100% sure yet.
Textra reports the APN settings to be:
MMSC:
Code:
http mms sprintpcs com
(new users URL post prohibited)
MMS proxy: 68.28.31.7
MMS Proxy port: 80
I may have to install a different app on the un-Textra-ed phone to see what the info is before installing Textra. (It is very annoying that Motorola removed APN info viewing from the phone's default software. )

I think that's a Sprint / US Cellular only thing, as I can view and edit my Verizon APN settings on my G4.
No issues on Sprint with mine. My mode is on Global. Try *#*#72786#*#* to reprovision the phone.
Anyone else on Sprint figure a way to get the APN settings to work for hotspot? I added ,dun to several of my APNs but still won't allow me to turn on hotspot

That's the "Carrier Reset" which was mentioned earlier. It did not affect the issue when I did it at the request of my provider's tech support.
You have a corrupted MSID. Ask Ting support to assign you a new MSID, reprovision, and all will be well
After using it this way for a while, MMS appears to now work correctly on any band (3g, LTE), and on WiFi. I did the same procedure on the second phone (install textra, set 3G preferred, verify working, and then set everything back to how it was before (text messaging on hangouts, LTE preferred).
(Tech support suggested setting MMSc to http://mms.plspictures.com, but I have not because it is now working)
If I remember to install an app to view the information, I will post again with what the "default" settings were before textra was installed, as I'll probably be buying yet another amazon Moto G4, as one of our went through the laundry

While I am not on Sprint this worked for me. Add this to you build.prop and see if it works

Exact settings for Verizon Wireless Use

I am coming from a Moto X Pure and just swapped the sim card. I have read the different preferred settings that some people have success with but I have not had complete success. Some settings I'll get 4g data and can text but cannot place calls. I can swap a few things and place calls but I'll lose 4g. I need to go to the store tomorrow and enable the HD voice calls but would like to see if I can get the rest working myself.
Info I need.
Data roaming n/off
Preferred network mode:
Enhanced 4g: on/off
System select :home only/automatic
CDMA subscription ruim/sim or nv
Apn Verizoninternet: on/off

That's interesting, when I went from my Nexus 6P -> Essential -> LG G6; I never had a connectivity issue.
1. Data roaming n/off?
What do you want.
2. Preferred network mode:
CDMA/LTE
3. Enhanced 4g: on/off
On
4. System select :home only/automatic
What do you want? I use Home
5. CDMA subscription ruim/sim or nv
?
6. Apn Verizoninternet: on/off
This should be VZWINTERNET
But once again, I never had to manually set anything related to APN or CDMA subscription
Which cdma/lte though? CDMA + LTE/EvDo?
Do you not the cdma subscription option? If you do just need to know which one to use.
Can you give the specifics for the Verizon apn? Just through the whole list if possible.
I have the same issue as op. I bought mine used not knowing it was from Sprint. I'm using straight talk with Verizon. Messing with different settings I can get text and data, or calls, but not both. Doesn't make any sense...

I was recently on the LOS ROM and saw that there is an APN for straight talk, you may want to try that too see if that will allow for both cdma + LTE.
With some help from @houstonironman I think I have got it working completely.
Copy/paste from info he sent me.
I don't think I ever got HD working, that I can tell anyway. How do you know? I have my network set to CMDA/LTE. I also went to *#*#4636#*#* from the dial pad and under phone info selected LTE/CMDA auto. Somewhere in those settings I found radio settings and I toggled from United States, to Europe, then back to United States.
Final settings
Preferred Network:CDMA + LTE/EVDO
Enhanced 4g: On. Side note call Verizon and make sure you have HD calling enabled on account. It's free.
System Select: home only
CDMA subscription:RUIM/SIM
Access Point Names:
Name:Verizon
APN:VZWINTERNET
Proxy:not set
Port:not set

Mms port: not set
Mcc: 311

The apn settings filled themselves in after toggling from US to EU and back to US.

I am on Oreo beta 1 and have visual voicemail working in the stock phone app and NFL has work since I installed it. When I first did the oreo beta the voicemail did not work. One day last week I hit the voicemail tab in the phone app by accident and it asked if I accepted Verizon's terms for voicemail activation. It has worked since then. The NFL stream has worked the whole time. I did install the My Verizon app and log into it before using the NFL app.
