Where are the hidden username/password settings!!?!

Ive been trying to find where i can change the username/password combination for a gprs or wap internet connection.
the only thing i can find is the initial prompt when i first dial the connection, but surely it can be changed at a later stage.
Does anyone know how to get into these settings?

passwords
i think these are server based passwords, not something a user can change. you will have your own security set up on your xda, the passwords used are login passwords

yes but i want to change them as my access passwords are different depending on which sim card i use.

I know, it is really annoying. If you select the option "Save Password", I couldn't find a way to change the password.
Either you may create another connection with different name having different username or password.
There is a way to find out the stored username.
Run a registry editor, and go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Comm->RasBook and look for your connection listed in the tree.
I believe the only way to reset the password is to remove the registry entry (or the modem entry in connection manager) and create a new connection, though I don't believe it to be a bright idea.
While on the subject, I discovered that if you delete the connection:
Settings->Connections->Modify->General Tab, the modem connection neither gets deleted nor is displayed. If you try to create another modem connection of the same name, it just says that modem already exists, but does not show up.

[Q] Changing the default network connection

I want to automatically select the default network to which the device connects
(the first combo in Settings->WirelessControls->menu->Connections->Advanced->SelectNetworks -
See attached image)
My problem is as follows -
When I set up the connection to the operator -
it sets the default network to be <<3G Portal>>
I want to automatically change it to <<Internet 3G>>
(Or in the worst case -
Automatically delete the <<3G Portal>> -
making the <<Internet 3G>> the only available option -
which will force it to be default)
Does anyone know how to do this ?
(Even if some Cpp/C# code is needed - does anyone know the API ?)
Thanks

Not a lot of sense there
Looking at the screen print
The phone is set up to access the web FIRST via the 3G portal (every phone needs a portal to get online).
The second option looks to me to be a WIFI connection. Wifi always take priority over gprs/3g/hspa
so unless you can make a bit more clear what your looking for......................

Of course, if you mean a different web access point get the APN settings and manualy add then from the settings menu - wireless and networks access point names - press the menu button - add apn

As I understand your Q, you wanna auto set the default network without having to manually change it everytime you hard reset / change roms?
Here's what I do for such things.
Get ceregistry editor, connect to your phone, export the registry to file, then, on the phone, change the default access point to the one you would rather it was, (possibly reboot phone here to be sure the registry has changed the default apn,) back into ceregistry editor, compare current registry to the snapshot, figure out which key changed, and to what value, then provision that reg key (via a cab, or provxml,) whenever you hard reset, after the network has been set up. (I have a cab with dozens of tweaks in it,you can just keep adding to it)

Thanks for the reply.
Both connections are over the Cellular network.
The first one (3G Portal) is set up by the operator to go via some proxies and stuff, which block certain services/sites as they are not stored on this proxy.
The Second one is "unfiltered" internet connection over the Cellular network.
Whenever the network is detected and set up, the settings are automaticelly set to go via the "proxied" connection.
I want to change it to work over the unfiltered connection.
I would like to know the registry keys or any other place this information is kept, so I could automatically change it.
I tried searching the registry for these values but could not get to a definite conclusion about where exactly the "default connection" is stored, or if it is stored in the registry altogether.
(If it is stored in the registry - I do NOT want a complete registry import/export - just the relevant keys)
Many thanks in advance.

Yes it is stored in the reg, but it stores an ID for each connection which is different for everyone, hence the method I suggested which would reveal both the key and the ID, I wasn't suggesting you import a whole registry, simply make a cab of just the one key. It would take about 10 mins to do, but I'm not running winmo so can't lookup the key for you.

Try using Data Controller by Red Frogfish. With this app, you can turn on and off all of your different connections indvidually.
Since, I have T-Mobile, I have the following connections:
T-Mobile Data
T-Mobile MMS
T-Mobile Internet
And, Data Controller lets turn each on or off as needed/wanted.

Ok, thanks.
I will try this method.

[Q] Internet settings

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

Data-pla-only not working on android?

Hello
I thought I'd just share one little piece of knowledge I just found.
I have subscribed to a second SIM card, tight to my main one.
(The name of this option with my carrier is SFR Multisurf).
With this "data-only" SIM card, one needs to use a specific APN (named websfr).
Unfortunately, this APN is set by default to have the "dun" type only, at least on my SGS2/4.1.2.
With a "dun" type APN, one can't use the Android device as a real Internet/Data endpoint. Dun stands for "Dial-Up Networking" and is made to use your device as a modem only.
Changing the APN type to "default" (or even "default,supl,dun") is enough for the APN to become a working access point to the Internet.
To do so, you have to go into your Phone/Tablet settings, then Select More, then Select Mobile Networks, then Select Access Point Names.
Find the access point you need to use, scroll down to its type, make sure it is set to "default" and voilà !

Thank you for sharing

No 4g connection

My S7 edge won't connect to 4g on 1 carrier but on other it will. Why is that, before it worked but not anymore. I have correct CSC and change to LTE mode. But still no connecting.

hi
do you have an*APN?
you need to add an Access Piont Name (APN) in order to get access to the cellular internet connection.
to add an APN you have to do this:
go to the*Settings > connections > mobile networks > Access Piont Names
if there's an APN already there, then the problem is not about APN. but if you see no APNs installed, hit the add button and make an APN manually. the name and the APN field must not be empty. type something in them and let all of the other fields untouched
