I've searched all the 3 Android devices forum's and came up empty handed, so please let me know if a topic like this one already exists.
I've seen lots of people complaining the ROM they just installed didn't have data connection active, most of them don't realize they can/have to edit the APN list manually to have a data connection.
As some probably know, these APNs are all defined in a file called apns-conf.xml inside the /system/etc/ folder in your phone. The file can have all the APNs we want and I thought it would be useful to have a "mostly complete" list of the APNs from the cell phone companies all over the world to be included in the ROMs cooked around the XDA forums, this would make life easier for everyone who installs a new ROM.
With that in mind I started compiling an apns-conf.xml file. The file is based on CyanogenMOD's apns-conf.xml file (which seemed very complete to me) and then I added some other APNs I found on other ROM's apns-conf.xml.
The resulting file can be viewed and edited (using Google Docs) in the following link:
http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AZNbAmKkmakoZGZxZHNwMnpfMjJkaHg3ejN3eg&hl=en
What I'm proposing is that everyone interested checks out the file and corrects or adds their operator's/country's APN lists. That way we can incrementally build a "complete" APN list with the community effort.
Good idea. Wist that ROM creators would use this list.
Bump for visibility!
I find it weird that only one person found this idea interesting and helped out. Thanks btw woo456

That website is probably created after running the apns-conf.xml file through a XML parser, and I'm pretty sure it is using the apns-conf.xml file from this thread. But it's not the same thing, the apns-conf.xml file is for use with ROMs or to push into the device, that website shows the file in a readable format making it easy to add manually to the phone.
@Roy_Drage: It's not hard to add to the file, but I'll add that one.

Indeed it is. I whipped that page up to make a slightly more human-readable APN list than a raw XML file. And yep, it uses your list.
I proposed a fix for SFR APN. Here in France we can get different APN depending if we bought the "Full Internet" option or not. With "Full Internet", we use a different APN "sl2sfr" which don't use a proxy. Without this option we have to use "wapsfr" APN which is filtered.
Good to see some people interested in this
uk vodafone
i have a uk vodafone contract and backed up my details i noticed your vodafone contract apn said apn="wap.vodafone.co.uk" but should actually be apn="wap.vodafone.co.ukapndroid" so i have edited it accordingly , great idea by the way always scared i lose that bit of paper
Thanks for posting this. I have a Rogers Magic on AT&T and only use apn: wap.cingular and everything seems to work. Anyone know why the following is necessary?

The apn field you edited was correct. The "apndroid" you had at the end of yours was put there by an app you used called APNdroid. It is used to disable/enable data connection on the phone, it works by changing the APN field by adding "apndroid" at the end, making the phone unable to connect.
Added some apns for the Swedish operators. Hope its correct.

Keep up the good work !
D.
yeh i ran into a similar problem with the APN, found this link- its rather long but it has quite a few apns, just CTRL+F3 and find your APN.
hope it helps

wow this is really interesting. bumping to hopefully gain more ground on it
This is probably a stupid question but the there server area when it indicates "*" does this mean you are suppose to put in the asterisk there?
Sorry and thanks for the help!

Some APNs require a specific value for the server, there are others that have asterisks. My operator, for example, uses asterisk. But to answer your question, if the Server field has an asterisk then yes, you have to put an asterisk in the server field when entering the APN data on the phone.
I edited the swedish tele2 APN.¨
I dont know if it makes any diffrence but the ip i have working in my phone had .030 at the end, this file had .30 maybe doesnt mather. Anyway, I also squeezed MMS and Internet settings togheter as there is no need for two APN for that.
Hope that is ok.
Hello,
I am looking for an API call that will allow my application to select to use one of the following:
either a specific APN
or a specific APN type
All I found until now is a way to WRITE APN settings, but that does not actually help me.
Yup, would love to know too
Hi, all,
I have a T-mobile Galaxy tab which is unlocked by me with the help of Roto.
However, I have a strange problem that I can not figure it out! I have two different GSM Lines from two different mobile phone carrier in Turkey ( Turkcell - Vodafone). When I place my Turkcell GSM line into my Tab I get MNC numbers 286, 01 and when I try to edit it and save , then it erases all stored APN data. And can not edit it. However when I place my Vodafone GSM line into my Tab, I get MNC numbers 286, 02 and everything works well.
Do you know how can I change my APN settings for the first case?
(P.S : The weird thing is that it was working and APN settings were 286, 02 in the beginning, and then it changed on itself? )
Put in your Turkcell SIM. Go to Settings>Wireless and Network>Mobile networks>Access Point names, press menu and click on "Reset to default". It should set the APN according to your operator.
Thank you for the advice however it did not work, too.
Really strange problem, I call the local service provider (Turkcell) but they do not have any idea
Can it be a root/unroot problem maybe?
No, this has nothing to do with root. So you did the "Reset to default" and you ended up with no APNs ? Well, this happened to me when i had no data access allowed at the operator. No data access = no APNs. Once i had the data access activated on operators side (Orange World 1000MB to be exact), the "Reset to default" gave me the correct APNs.
So, the question is - does your Turkcell number has data plan activated ?
I finally have my Atrix (and love it), however there is something I noticed today that did NOT work: I cannot receive or send MMS.
It seems that in their eagerness to lock it to AT&T, motorola have removed MMS settings from the messaging app, and have locked the MMS settings to use only AT&T. Which is a bit of a problem, with me being in Singapore.
I already tried doing the access point setup and everything, but it just will not work.
Has anybody else outside US got MMS to work for them? If yes, how?
Never mind guys, I solved it. For Singapore M1, the settings need to be as googled, with two APNs:
1) "sunsurf" (no mms settings!), APN type "default"
2) "miworld", APN type "mms"
It seems the phone switches between the APNs for MMS sending / retrieval, which may take a few seconds. I thank m1 for their messed-up MMS settings... NOT.

have you tried setting the APN type as "default,mms"? (Wihout the quotes, obviously)
*edit* from another forum ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-625061.html ), it seems your settings should be:
1) apn internet
mcc 228
mnc 03
apn type: default
2) apn wap
proxi 192.168.010.002
port 8080
mcc 228
mnc 03
apn type: mms
i m trying now i will give u a feeedback asap
no. it doesn't work still searching....
Yeah, it surprised me that there is no MMS proxy or MMSC... there needs to be. Look at http://www.activexperts.com/xmstoolkit/mmsclist/ , maybe that helps?
>> MMSC http://192.168.151.3:8002 <<
I already tried all the possible combination for a correct apn make me crazy the only things now is trying to root the phone perhaps it helps
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
no, i allready rootet the phone and it is not working.
I'm on Swisscom.
I try Go SMS with the extra settings for MMS ... nope, not working :-(
The MMS is basically setup via APNs. The MMS settings there (MMS center, MMS proxy, etc.) need to be correct. For me, there even need to be two separate APNs for MMS and web. You could ask your network provider to push them to your phone, maybe that helps. Just say you have an Android one.
I am sorry to hear it does not work for you guys in Switzerland. I am not there, so a bit limited what I can do...
No prob buddy thanks to help,
i do a second apn just for the mms but it was what i tried from the beginning... i don t know , this phone isn't be regonnized from orange to be set.... i don 't know.
And i m back in us so i must wait 2 months before trying a new solution but still thinking...
If you can post some picture of your phone setting nobody knows,
Ok one more possibility... GingerBlur comes with its own apns-conf.xml . You could try pushing that to your phone without installing gingerblur. Make sure you back the previous file up first, though!
yeah perhaps but i still locking deeper where att set the phone's apn not so much time this week but i m trying ...
hi i found sms and mms configuration, but becareful change will effect after restart the phone

Hi. I'm trying to connect Huawei E1750 to my Adam, but I couldn't have made it so far. There are two problems I'm facing:
1) When I try to change APN's MCC value from 310 to 286, the APN dissappears from the settings after I save it. If I try make a new APN with MCC value something except 310, it won't show up after I save it and return to APN list.
I tried APN Manager, and I could see the APN's I created (with MCC 286) are there and I could sellect those APN's from there but I didn't affect to the device's APN at all, when I tried to connect, it still tells that I need to choose an APN.
2) I really need a application for 3G Network Settings, the one that I can add or delete 3G Networks, like in the photos. The photos are from cheap ZT-180 Android Tablet, why they have and we don't, this shouldn't be so hard to configure
Can anybody please help me?
Thanks in advance.
