I am wondering where the password information is stored for the cingular gprs settings. I am not asking how to enter the settings into the dialogues, rather where in the registrythe password info is stored.
I am aware of the settings located at these two locations...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}]
and
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\My ISP GPRS]
Exporting/importing these restores everything but the username/password info. What I am trying to do is save the settings so I will be able to more quickly restore them after a hard reset, which I do often because I am constantly playing with different roms.
or... is there already a premade cab file that will install the needed settings including cingular's generic username/password?
and for that matter, where is the password stored for activesync? After I import a reg file I have on my phone, I have all the activesync info properly entered except for the password.
I realize these are one time items to have to enter, but it would certainly make system rebuilding go a bit faster...
I hope you managed to get this far into this rather overly verbose essay.
found it.
hell yes:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\CredMan\Creds]
I am cool.
Okay, the question I have then is how did you figure it out, and more importantly, how do you know which key is associated to which connection?
Some crappy registry snapshot program
It is called ssnap, that coupled with a program called idiff, I was able to discover changes made to the registry after doing something (check/uncheck something, enter a setting, etc...)
http://s-k.al.ru/wince.html
If anyone knows a better program than these rather primitive monsters, please let me know. I am looking for something similar to installwatch for the PC by Epsilon Squared.
Those settings did not work anyway. That was definately the location where the settings were stored, but they must be coupled with something else. I was able to install and uninstall the username/password by setting/removing those registry entries, but after a hard reset, they did not work anymore.
I am trying to find two things:
I run the HD2 on ATT. I dont need the settings, cause I already have working settings. What I am trying to find out is:
1) Where in the files, is the setting to change the MMS limit, and before you point me to the setting on the phone, thats not what I am talking about. on ATT the limit is 600k, but on the phone the Max I can choose is 300K so I want to know where is this info located and if its easy to change?
2) Can anyone tell me what in the kernel controls the data / MMS settings? The reason I have tried different kernels and the only two kernels that work are DFT on their released rom, and Projections, if I try to use M-DeeJays kernels, my MMS fails to send or recieve, so can someone tell me what module or what file I need to replace?
Thank you.
Anyone?
I found a thread about changing MMS values, but it only works for SDCard Android, not NAND, so again, anyone have any input? Members? Dev's? Fixer's? Anyone?
Again ANYONE have a CLUE?

i cant help with the 600k part, but i can say that i use cyan nand rom, and the mms settings are screwed for my provider, first i have to go in and select the correct active data account, then remove two duplicate but erronous default/mms accounts, that think theyre for my network, but dont work, and prevent the almost-but-not-quite-correct real data / mms ones from working, , then i have to alter the username to get them working, and the new settings dont work till you reboot, and you forget and test it and think its not working, and tear your hair out screaming till the missus tells you to grow up and get rid of that damned phone for the love of christ!
my point being its probably not an actual fault as such with that release, just the APN settings that are created that interfere with each other..
Actually no, the APN settings are exactly, I mean EXACTLY, I have 1 apn setting before updating the kernel, and after its the same apn setting, I triple checked and all the values are the exact same.
Mind you I am on ATT's network using the phone in 2g, which shouldnt make a difference since the apns dont care what network your on.
Good Evening All, (In the East Coast anyway)
I have done a lot of searching in XDA and Google and I can't seem to find too much detail aside from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935144
My question is specifically for the Verizon Retail Samsung Galaxy S5. Since we are rooted, is it possible to navigate to where the APN settings are stored so changes can be made to them despite the fact that the OS locks us out of it? I read that if you use a non Verizon SIM card, the APN settings can be altered as needed.
Does anybody know what in the OS prevents us from changing the APN settings or know if there is some kind of way to force the OS to allow us to change the APN settings? My main goal was to edit the "APN Protocol" settings to force it to use IPv4 instead of allowing the network to use either or. Applications such as Opera Max, due to the Kitkat VPN bug, won't work unless the mobile data connection is an IPv4 address.
Edit: May found found my answer / solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...ates when the APN settings may be configured?
also need help with this issue i have tried everything
My fix for APN Settings SM-G900V [Verizon Galaxy S5]
Okay guys,
I figured I should post this since I can't find anything thing else online solving this issue.
It took me a couple hours of digging around and teaching myself some basic android stuff but I got APN edit access on my Verizon Galaxy S5 G900V APN settings. First, I wanted access because I switched to straight talk and found I wasn't receiving MMS's. But... Verizon locks access to APN's. I won't tell you the story of how I figured it out, I will just tell you what I did and let you make the decision to do it yourself or not AT YOUR OWN RISK.
1) Your phone must be rooted... look around online and choose your own method- it just needs to be rooted. (can't post a link, sorry)
2) install: Build Prop Editor and APN Settings apps from the App store
-----Build Prop Editor allows you to change system values
-----APN Settings is a menu shortcut that you'll need
3) From another forum, I got this information:
** This forum is written for a different phone (Note3) and so are the codes... but they should work long enough to create an APN...
a)Once [build prop editor] is installed find and open Build Prop Editor
b)Hit the menu button and select Edit
c)Scroll to the bottom of screen and add the following lines
#Code:
ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL
d)Hit the save button at the top right hand corner of the screen (looks like a floppy disk)
e)Once this is done saving restart the phone
----This part is where it gets weird. Adding the codes in build.prop creates menu issues so you can't navigate to the APN menu
4) open the app that you downloaded in step 2 (APN Settings), that will bypass the menu.
5) determine the APN you need to create and create it (depends on your provider, do some research) (again, can't post url links)
6) go back to build.prop.editor and delete the lines that you added in step 3 and reboot the phone
7) navigate to your APN settings via the menu, the APN you created will not be visible but it will still be there. Select the Verizon APN so you can connect your phone to 3G or 4G data.
8) Try MMS or group texts
That should be it... If you don't get MMS's go through the process again and try another APN (you may have the wrong one) or you can delete all but the factory APN's to return your phone to the way it used to be.
This worked for me and I hope it works for you too.
P.S. sorry this is a bit late in all the forums
Hello. I was able to make all the changes listed above. I am running into a problem when I change the mnc to my provider straight talk. Basically whatever apn I was attempting to modify is deleted, and I run I to the same problem when creating new apns. I can enter a name and change the apn but that's it. If I make any other changes the apn is no longer in my list.
Thanks,

Hey. So I am not too sure why you don't have permissions to edit apn settings. These are the apn settings Iaccessed and used to get it working on mine... then it is hidden when deleting the build prop codes.
Name
APN
MMSC
MMS Proxy
MMS Port
APN Type
If you don't have access to create a new APN and change those settings following my method, I don't know what to say... Is your phone model a SM-G900V running android 4.4.4? - that's what mine is.
The only other thing I could think is maybe the kernel version when you rooted your phone. I have 3.4.0 and used towelroot and oden to flash it.
Also, I am using Textra as my messaging application and manually configure the APN in those settings to the same one I created.
Hate bumping old threads, but I feel it's relevant in this case. I used the above method to successfully edit the APN and regain internet access and get MMS. However, if I go to Settings>More Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point names, there are none listed at all. I am not getting 4G signal on my SM-G900V running android 4.4.2.
Is there a way to get the actual vzwinternet apn to appear in that menu?

Any updated fixes for this that don't mess with the APN menu? Running Deodexed Optimal ROM and just got my S5 activated on ST. It appears that I can receive photos, but I can't use any apps without being told I have no data/network connection unless WiFi is enabled. Calls and texts appears to work fine. Can not add new APN or edit the verizon one that's in there.

I have the same problem as you with an LG G4 from Verizon on straighttalk. I had ST fix their end to get my data working. They have the Verizon APN settings saved on their server for your phone but their settings have to match your settings. Since you cannot add/edit your APN they have to delete their settings and let it pull from your phone. Verizon lets them use certain APNs for their side of the network, that is why their settings are different than your phone and why they will strongly ask you to update them (even though you cannot). I found this information out because their APN settings got updated when my service renewed. I'm not sure if this will be a problem on each renew or if Verizon/ST will work that out.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 g900v. I am currently using Straight Talk BYOP program. I am having some issues with service and having 3g instead of 4g. It is a 4g capable phone. I am trying to get into the APN settings to change it up to Straight Talks Information, but it is Locked (greyed) out. Is their any way to access this? I am currently rooted and running a custom deodexed rom

I think if you search you can find info on XDA about enabling all radios for your phone. if its rooted you can try an apk like signal booster or one of those. They have advanced settings that let you select CDMA/GSM/LTE and prioritize your connection.
If you are rooted you can use coded in the dialer to access those same settings and change your connection prefs.
If I had a link I would share.

I used Ricks ROM for a base and got this working. I was able to add APNs but not take away the Verizon one. It works.

I ended up just having to call Straight Talk and they did something on their end that took effect at or around midnight that night. Problem is I had to call them again the following month because after refilling my airtime a day before cutoff I lost my data(which is weird because the new card went in to my reserve). They did something on their end that immediately took effect after a reboot of my device. I'm hoping I don't have to do this every time I refill.
Straight Talk only works for 1 month at time

I have the same problem. I have 2 Verizon Samsung S5 that I have transferred to Straight Talk. Every month for the past 4 months I lose my data signal (calls work fine) . I have to call ST tech support and spend between 15 - 45 minutes (depending on how knowledgeable the tech person is) to get it reset so it works. Each phone does this on a different day so I have to do this twice a month. :crying:
They reset the provisioning on their end. Then I power off and reboot and it works for another month. Does anyone know what I have to set the APN to to fix this problem?
When I used the method in this thread and take the lines out of the build.prop, Only Verizon Internet shows under the APN. Do I need to add a ST APN and not comment out the lines?
I know this is old, but I can't find any way to edit apn settings for my nougat phone on straight talk through verizon towers. Nothing works, even with root.

Thanks,
I know this is really old, but if someone is searching for the unable to edit APN for a Verzion phone, I have a fix.
Connect the phone for ADB debugging. Then open ADB shell and use the command:
am start -a android.intent.action.INSERT content://telephony/carriers --ei simId -1
It won't let you edit the current one or list, but you can add a new one now, and use it. Just reboot the phone after the new APN is in place.
Update: Now that we found a solution, I am updating this post with the instructions instead of leaving the solution further down in the thread.
Solution:
On Verizon (and possibly others), the ability to edit MMS APN settings is hidden. Thanks to the help of @RustyGrom and @AlvinPhilemon I was able to leverage the HOWTO: Install Windows 10 for Phones on Non-supported devices (and other hacks) method and a modified WPFlights.xml to unhide the settings. This allows Verizon Windows Phones to run fully and properly on other GSM carriers networks (AT&T in my case)
I was not able to get this to work on Windows 10 TP, as there seems to be a few bugs in the way the APN's are functioning at the moment. Use this method if you want to enable MMS APN access in Windows Phone 8.1 (and most likely 8 as well).
Instructions:
1. Follow instructions from the thread created by @RustyGrom, however replace the WPFlights.xml file with the file attached to this post
2. If you are having problems downloading the certificate, install the full version of Fiddler and make sure to enable HTTPS
3. At the very bottom of the Windows Insider app, you should now have an option to "Unhide MMS APN" instead of "Enable Tethering" like in the original method. Click on the "Unhide MMS APN" and go through the instructions. Once you set it and restart the phone, you should see MMS APN
Warning: This could brick your phone, so use it at your own risk. I make no warranties on the method and am not responsible if it goes wrong

Hey guys, apologies if this is in the wrong forum, but given the registry tweaks/hacks that you have all discovered I was hoping you might be able to help me out. I have a Lumia Icon (930 for Verizon in the US) and there is a setting in the registry to hide the MMS APN, meaning I can't get MMS to work properly on other networks (AT&T in my case). It should be as simple as changing to a 0 or 1 in the registry, but I can't seem to find the location toggle (though I was able to find the XML in the ROM that sets the setting a few months back - same one that shows whether things like ##3282# or ##778# works from the dialer). You used to be able to use Access Point to set the APN, but now that it doesn't work on 8.1 there is no workaround.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need me to try to dive into the phone registry / settings with the webserver I am more than happy to, as that is how I originally found XML that specifies it should be hidden.
Thanks

It is:
Code:

"HideMMSAPN"="dword:00000000"
That's what it is on my Verizon HTC One M8 for Windows. It should be the same on yours.

Thanks, appears to be there on my Lumia 1520 (AT&T, which was hidden in W10) and should be there on the Icon. I am going to have to find a way to write to it now, since the Icon doesn't have an SD card slot. I wonder if its possible to use the Windows Insider App

Ok, I was able to get it to work using a modified version of the Windows 10TP for non-supported devices work-around.

If you want to do this on your phone, basically follow the instructions here HOWTO: Install Windows 10 for Phones on Non-supported devices (and other hacks) but replace the WPFlights.xml with the one I have attached. One heads up, I had to install the full version of Fiddler and enable HTTPS before I could install the certificate

Yes, works perfectly. Basically turned the Icon into the 930. MMS group and picture messaging has no problems, and internet seems to be consistent, though only H/H+ at the moment because I don't live in an area w/ AT&T AWS LTE. Here are the APN settings I used: Programming non-AT&T devices with the correct APN and MMS data settings
On an unrelated note. Does anyone know where the registry keys for dialstrings are found? I'd like to try to re-enable Field Test Mode (##3282# on my 1520) to see if there are any hidden cellular bands available to be re-enabled (1520 actually does have 1700 Mhz AWS for H+, it just needs to be re-enabled in Field Test Mode settings)

Ohhhh so you aren't using the Icon on Verizon. When I tried my Icon with the W10 TP, my data would work until I tried to send a picture message. Then the picture message would fail and my data would stop working.

I am having problems with my 1520 as well with MMS and Data, and it appears that other people in the other thread are having problems as well. I think its just buggy at this point, and I know there is something weird going on with APN's because I wasn't able to unhide the MMS APN in Windows 10, had to roll back to 8.1 to do it. Basically none of my registry edits were working as expected. The MMS APN even was hidden on the 1520 after it was showing in 8.1

Looks like we will just have to wait. It'll only be a month and then pretty much every other phone will be supported. We'll not only gain support, but probably a ton of changes and bugfixes along with it. I'm just so eager.

The registry entry for DialStrings are as follows:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Phone\Settings]
"PartnerImmediateDialStrings"
"PartnerNonImmediateDialStrings"
The CustomPFD is unable to read MultiStrings so it cannot be read, and WebServer NativeAccess is unable to reach this entry so you need to find other means of cracking this.

Sorry for being an idiot. I'm coming back to Windows phone after years on Android. I am familiar with rooting/flashing on Android. Guess I'm a win mobile noob now.
In the thread we are supposed to refer to: HOWTO: Install Windows 10 for Phones on Non-supported devices (and other hacks)
Since I don't want to go to WM10...
Can someone summarize for a noob which exact steps I should follow to perform this procedure without upgrading to WM10?
Hey guys,
can anyone of you think of a way to automatically set the devices APN? e.g. using NFC and some automation app...or any other way? I have no root access and therefore can't alter any system files.
I can't tell you the exact use case but I have to configure quite a few devices so setting the APN on every device manually would be very time consuming.
thx in advance
