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!!!!

I bought an unlocked T-Mobile HTC HD2 and flashed to android. My MMS and t-zones is not working and I can't set it up. I tried going to settings-wireless & networks-mobile networks and go into Access Point Names but there is no option to add anything! It is just a black screen with APNs on the top left corner. What is wrong with my phone??? Please help I have searched everywhere and can not figure out what's wrong. Before I flashed to Android, I was able to use MMS and t-zones without setting it up and now it is gone with android! It is a new phone and I haven't even used it other than testing it before I flashed it when I got it yesterday.
when you were at the apn screen, did you hit the menu button and see the options to add new apn or rest to default? youll need to hit thenew apn button to add a new apn.
I found it!!! I thought the menu option would be on the screen and that's what I was looking for. I didn't know the middle button on the phone is for the menu. Thanks so much!!
I called sprint and got my msl, but when I try to change my apn settings to get free hotspot the option for my apn settings is not clickable so I can edit it to add ,dun. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
The last Sprint OTA locked these settings. There's no way that anyone has discovered to edit them now. Some have reported that if you turn on tethering as soon as possible after the phone reboots it will work, even without changing the APN settings.
Add new APN?
I understand that it is no longer possible to edit the current APNs with the update. Is it also no longer possible to create and add new APNs?
Any idea why my APN Settings are grayed out (T-Mobile) and how can I "unlock" them?
Thanks.

You can't edit the default ones just create your own custom one exactly the same as default except with your changes...

Thanks for your response. Any idea why ZTE disabled it? You can edit APN in any other phone. I don't understand the logic.
No clue, logic not their strong suit
hi,
trying to use my unlocked ls993 in Verizon. voice and text work, but no data. the apn setting is missing all together, so can not add apn.
when putting in a tmobile sim, the apn appears and I can add t apn and data works.
any suggestions to make the v apn appears?
thanks.
I can help, go to your dialer and from there type *#546368#*993#
Then navigate to field test then navigate and there should be the second option. Go to pdp and then apn then you can add it from there.

Code not working on my LS993, but thank you for trying to help Still looking for the code for this model.
So just found out the code that worked in my LS993 is:
5689#*993#
(credit: https://idealkaynak.net/lg-g6-hidden-menu-kodlari/)
With that I added xfinity mobile apn. Once saved I had data, but was connected with 3G only, with DL speed of 0.8MPS. I was not happy, thought reboot the phone might make it better. Rebooted, then I lost data connection altogether; call and text still work, no apn in control but with the hidden menu access I see my apn is still there.
So I am stuck again. Any suggestions? Is there anyway I can force the g6 to load "carrier settings" of some sort?
Hi, did you find a way to add the APN. I have the same issue.
same problem
i have the same problem and checking on other post a guy says that you have to enter on hidden menu and apn settings and there are two options edit and view. chose edit and erase all apn including otasn after that have to appear in the normal mobile network menu the three dots to add the apn of your cellphone company. but you need the msl code or service code.
any suggestions of how to get the msl code and try this ?
i have an LG G6 LS993ZVA NOUGHAT FROM SPRINT.
