Hello all. Background info:
MetroPCS. I had WiFi calling prior to 8.1 stock while rooted.
The way I did it was to delete all APN settings one by one until the T-Mobile ones appeared and edit one of them.
Problems:
Unable to get WiFi calling to work.
Unable to delete APN "MetroPCS 260 dun"(fields are greyed out and only options are "save" and "discard) (though the others are deletable).
Can't add new APN with appropriate settings because an APN with the MVNO type set to "none" won't save.
Things I've tried:
Updating e911 address via app and MetroPCS customer service 3 times.
Factory reset.
Reflash ROM.
Extract sim and reinsert it.
Meddled with the APN config file and since restored it.
I'm perplexed by this situation since I haven't seen or heard of anyone who can't delete "MetroPCS 260 dun"
Any ideas as to why this is happening and how I may fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, from some time now i'm experiencing this problem.
I have no APN settings in the APN screen. It's all black and i have to manually input them all the time i change to a new ROM.
Can you help me to solve thi issue please?
Did you ran Market Enabler? If you did, then every time you change (fake) the provider, the APN setting will be refreshed following the new provider and you'd have to re-enter your provider's APN parameter.
Well, that's how I experience it on mine.
No i have a stock shui8 1.4b rom. no changes. the problem is that there are no APN at all.
So when the phone connect to my operator the system automatically didnt show me any pre
setted APN (web, mms, wap etc)
It just give a black screen and i have to add all of them manually
I encounter similar setback during the earlier batch of builds. This is common, as builder need to compile a complete apns-conf.xml (Build-time APN configuration) which is to be loaded during boot.
Try finding a complete apns-conf.xml and copy it to /system/etc/ folder. Follow this thread for further information.
I was able to flash all the files
phone works GREAT
but no DATA...
when I open the browser it takes me the tmobile site and asking me for a password.
I went to APN,
there is:
TMOBILE US 320
when I create a new APN and save it
it wont save.
when I edit the tmobile apn thats already there, when i edit MCC and MNC and save it the apn deletes so i have to RESTORE DEFAULT.
any ideas on how to make the apn sticks or what?
please some body help
I PM'd the solution.

So, then you have this fixed? I see you edited and said problem solved but then bumped. I use APN Backup/Restore also for my Milestone X on Alltel, but using Verizon roms. If you need Alltel's APN I have it.
I recently bought a used AT&T Galaxy S4 i337 that came with 4.4.2 and NC1. I have a Net10 SIM in it and everything works save for MMS messaging. I created a new APN with the correct Net10 settings and selected it but the AT&T APN is greyed-out cannot be removed and appears to still be in use in regards to MMS (there's a little box that says "Turn APN on/off" that can't be unchecked).
I've been scouring this site for the past few days an cannot find a solution for just deleting a "locked" APN from this phone. I was hoping to find an easy solution but everything points to downgrading to get root and then manually deleting of editing the offending APN? Need to get this working regardless so it doesn't matter how difficult this will be.
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, I have an s8 originally VZW, with G950U1 firmware and Total wireless sim, when i go to apn settings the option to add is greyed out, it only gives me a profile default for Tracfone apn, which i can't edit. How can i solve this problem?
Create a new APN with the correct settings and activate that APN.

im in the same boat, bought the s8+ black online no carrier attached and i popped in my verizon sim. i want to edit the apn but everything is greyed out. i think its a possible sim issue. i put my brothers tmobile sim and everything worked.
I am hoping you have solved the problem by now. When I found I had the same problem, I went to the page with the "add" grayed out,and instead tapped the only apn that was there, and another window opened up with the apn address field being the only dark one there, so I clicked on it, backspaced the wrong address out, and typed in the preferred one. Done. I still can't add any more, but you can edit the one that is there...
