Hello,
My provider uses different APN settings depending on whether I'm roaming or not (well, the only different setting is the MNC, but that's enough for data not to work when roaming...).
Thing is I hate to switch them manually. Is there a way to automatically choose the specific APNs when roaming and when not?
Thanks!

I have yet to root my phone and am big on saving battery, so I'm in the habit of disabling my mobile data when I'm not using it. However, I still want to be able to enable MMS, but this device only comes with a "T-Mobile US" APN which encompasses both Internet AND MMS. It appears that this is standard practice with more recent versions of Android. So I know you can go in and change the APN type to "internet" only. And I know that you can ADD a new APN. But how do I add one that functions correctly? It asks for name, apn, proxy, port, user name, password, server, etc. I attempted to replicate the settings of the existing APN in a new APN and then designated one as Internet and one as MMS, but that didn't work.
Is there a way to create a separate MMS APN, or is it not possible with the newer versions of the Android OS?
Thank you.
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.
Hello,
I own a unlocked AT&T Samsung focus rev 1.3 running on official mango release[force update] in India with Idea as the service provider, been around a month only with the phone.
Recently I tried to use internet through the service provider's internet pack, paid for it, got SMS your internet pack has been activated and to sms SET to receive settings.
On doing so in sometime I got a message asking settings are available and to accept or decline them. When I select accept, I get a message from system notification saying "Couldn't change phone settings."
Please tell me what to do
In Settings>Cellular It shows the name of Service Provider, Data connection which is on 'ON' Data roaming options which is on 'Don't roam', Network selection which is on 'Automatic' and a 'Add Apn button'.
Just add the APN for Idea Cellular that is "internet" in the edit APN section and change data roaming option to "roam" in Cellular settings. Data connection should be "on."
I changed it to roam, and selected Add Apn..
Now in it there are several fields APN, User name, Pass, Proxy Server/URL, Proxy port.
Are you telling to just put 'internet' in the APN field and save?
And do i have to ask for settings again after this?
Hey I got it.. thanks
Hi, so Irecently started messing around with my APN settings and have been astonished at what a difference they can have. I've been searching here and google for the last couple days trying to find some info on the particular settings and I still have some questions, so I'm hoping some of you could help out. I found some info in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26862729 but it doesn't answer some of my questions.
1. Are the "APN type" settings APN specific? For instance, can you add the "hipri" or "dun" tag to any APN?
2: What exactly do the "Bearer" settings do? I see most APN settings leave it as unspecified, does setting it make a difference?
3: Do all APNs support IPv6, or just some? And does changing this have any noticable effect?
4: Are certain tags in the "APN type" settings necessary for certain features? For instance, is a mms tag necessary for sending mms's?
5: If there are multiple APNs set up on the phone, will the phone automatically choose a correct APN, or always just use the selected default? Like, if you have one set up for mms and another for LTE data (that does not support mms), will it fall back to the other? Or would you have to change it manually.
I guess any other information you guys have could be useful. I ask because after searching for a few days, I have found over 25 different settings people have suggested. I want to play around with the settings, do speed and signal benchmarking and then post it here. I found that there is very little benchmarking of different APNs here and think it could be useful. You guys have helped me out so much and I would really like to contribute too.
anyone?
stick with your carriers specific apn, you can experiment with different settings, but it will not yeild any better results than the factory apn setting for the device...
thanks you

AT&T has at least 3 APNs: wap.cingular, pta and phone. I have already began experimenting with the 3 and have seen big differences in both signal strength and mobile data speeds. As of now, it seems the "phone" APN works best. When it comes to the individual settings, I do not see much difference, but there may be some, I believe.
I really just want to learn more about it though as well.
Really the most important question I have is if there are multiple APNs on the phone, will it automatically use another (if the default doesn't work for whatever,) or will it only use the default?

If you asking if it auto switches, I have never seen it do that, the best setting I have seen is the pta, and it will switch to 3g if the coverage is not strong.
Hey there to all.
Since I had Windows 8 on my Ativ Smart PC, I have been able to change APN connection of my device in order to use a different connection than that provided by the system.
Simply,after clicking on newtork icon in status bar, i was right clicking on network name, selecting connection properties and then changing the APN name.
Now that I updated to windows 8.1, the ability to access to network properties is missing by right clicking the network name and I have to access "PC settings/Network" to reach my network.
No problem, up to now, but the issue comes out when i try to change the apn name.
first of all I cannot change the name of the apn given by the provider.
(this should not be a real problem, considering that there is the possibility to create a custom setting)
secondly, even if I set to use the custom settings, if I get out of network setting screen and then I re-enter it, the APN selected is back to the unwanted one.
Is there a way to edit "drastically" APN set by provider? Maybe a regedit workaround?
Thanks in advance
