I am trying to configure some APN settings but when I try to add a new one and press back (there is no 'OK' or 'SAVE' button), it doesnt show in the list.
Pressing menu on the main list of current APN's doesnt allow me to delete.
Same thing when i press and hold on existing APN's -- no options to edit/delete them.
Does the phone have to be rooted/unlocked in order for me to be able to add my own APN settings?
Three should be a 'save' option when you press the Menu button after entering the APN details (press menu instead of back).

I have a Dell Streak on Froyo 2.2 - 1.4.6 built by Stephen Hyde and I am experiencing painfully slow 3G. I had painfully slow 3G before, this was when I was running the official 2.1 and 2.2 but when I originally got the streak, it was on stock 1.6 and the 3G was fine.
Any idea's on how to speed it up? - I'm on O2.
No idea, my Stock 1.6 had lower upload speeds than the 2.2 version I have on my US Streak. I figured AT&T or Dell put some settings in to minimize my upload speeds.

If you're in the UK, try these settings that O2 sent to me yesterday after my 3g stopped working for no reason. I can't help wondering if O2 have been meddling... they say they haven't but when I put in the settings they emailed to me, it all works fine again...
try setting up a new APn manually using this - i found this set is faster than my original settings from O2:
1. Press the Menu key
2. Tap Settings
3. Tap Wireless controls
4. Tap Mobile networks
5. Tap Access Point Names
6. Press the Menu key
7. Tap New APN
8. Tap Name then tap the text box and enter O2 Mobile Web then tap OK
9. Tap APN then tap the text box and enter mobile.o2.co.uk then tap OK
10. Skip past Proxy as this is preset blank
11. Skip past Port as this is preset blank
12. Tap Username then tap the text box and enter o2web then tap OK
13. Tap Password then tap the text box and enter password then tap OK
14. Skip past Server, MMSC, MMS proxy, MMS port as these are preset blank
15. Tap MCC then tap the text box and enter 234 then tap OK
16. Tap MNC then tap the text box and enter 10 then tap OK
17. Tap APN type then tap the text box and enter default,supl then tap OK
18. Press the Back key (actually it helps to press Menu>Save first otherwise you have to start again!)
19. Tap the dot next to your new profile to make it the default
20. Press the Back key four times to return to the standby screen.
either I am really stupid or my 3g connection for data is not switching on...
yest night I updated the official 2.2 performance update fix (dj steve's kernal etc) onto my streak and have been using wifi ever since....
now when i try to switch on 3G...by going to settings>wireless & networks>mobiles networks and there enable data connection....nuthing happens...
any solutions to this...??..or am I doing something wrong??
ok got it working...apparently the APN had somehow got a 'disabled' written on it...
anyways...now the problem is...firstly it shows G instead of the H before...and secondly its painfully slow.!!
any solutions to this??
EDIT:: now its jumping from H to G n vice versa...
lol..what the flip is up with it....
My 3g disappeared sometime on Friday so if you're in the UK I can't help wondering if O2 have been meddling... they say they haven't but when I put in the settings they emailed to me, it all works fine again...

thanks for tht...
but somehow right now its ripping at 1.8mbps download on o2 3g...not sure if it was tht fast before....
can I ask you on how fast the 3g is for you on o2??
will try out ur method once something screws up here...
edit:: oh god...actually now its avging 1.1-1.3 mbps...not really sure why its fluctuating but if I remember correctly I never got more than 1 mbps before....lets see for how long this lasts...
yeah, mine was atrocious before - I just thought it was O2 signal, but when it was the same in other parts of the country I did wonder! The new settings do seem to give me about 1.6mbps whereas before I was lucky to get past 1 on a good day... although I just tested it again now and it's back to low 1's
Upload speeds are consistently way higher though (higher than download, which is a bit strange!)

Hey guys,
Just ordered a Galaxy S5 from Verizon. I travel internationally a lot so I wanted to double check to make sure you can enter APNs into the device as it comes out of the box (e.g., fully stock). Can someone double check?
Obviously I can root the phone if I have to - but I'd rather not.
Thoughts?

Yes, you can create new apns out of the box.
Foreign SIM success
I not only added an APN, I actually successfully used a foreign SIM for both voice and data in my stock Verizon S5.
The + on my APNs screen is disabled so I can't add a new one. Anyone ideas?

Add apn feature will only be available if you're using a non Verizon sim card.

My sister updated her phone and I did think and it worked but I have a question, do you have to make a new APN every single time or does it stay saved

It stays saved, but a reboot or network change will revert you to the default apn. She will need to run the shortcut app and change it back to the new APN she created when that happens, but she won't need to make a new one.

Once it expands, select the last entry. What exactly does your last entry say that you select?

Hi- would love for this to work... I'm on CRC5 ... am I screwed? the "add" button appears grayed out... so I can't seem to add a new APN to choose... have I messed up somehow?
This does not work because the APN settings have been disabled and no such way to add a new one and if you did there is no way to select it because all the functions in the APN settings have been disabled like I said before, only way to change them after OREO is to get root and then you can edit the system telephony.db file to add DUN.
