Hi,
I don't know if this has already been written on another place in this board but i think this could be an interesting information for all "Nike-Android" people...
After trying a lot of Vogue-Eclair builds on the Nike, i often had a good working system, but couldn't get DATA to work. While playing with Myn's new Eclair, i found out that the reason for a non working DATA Connection are often wrong values for MCC and MNC in the APN Settings. This is especially the case, when you are not from the USA.
I've attached an Android APN List (XML Format) which can be used to find out, which values are correct for your country. (Maybe your provider is already in this list anyway..)
So if you're in germany (like me) set MCC to 262 and MNC to 03 and of course the other entries for your provider.
But there seems to be another problem with this. As soon as you have changed that values, the APN disappears from the APN list. Obviously the APN is still there but it is not shown. So i did the following...
- Enter name, apn, username and password. Then SAVE the APN and activate it.
- Select the APN again and set your values for MCC and MNC and save again.
After that, the APN can't be seen anymore, but it's still there. After a Minute or so, you should see the DATA Icon in your notification bar.
Using this, i also got 'Incubus Super Eclair Lite' running here on my Nike.
In spite of all that, it's curious that everything changes to the language of your coutry after you've got the first connection to your provider, but not the Settings Tab. I'd guess that this has something to do with the DATA Problem.
Anyone who has an idea, why the Settings Tab always stays English ?

Hi all,
Just got my S740, which I have to admit is surprisingly good.
My problem getting O2 settings to work.
Is there a .cab?
Tried manual setting but, I am crap at it and always have this initial problem.
Tried the O2 icon in settings, clicked get settings. error 'contact O2 for your settings'.
Anyone please help?
Thanks in anticipation.
SIM card up to date?
Mate is your SIM card up to date? 64k?
Operator services sometime need to interact via STK etc.
Just a thought...
Hi SIM is only 4 weeks old had issues with the settings on my ignito, so O2 sent me a new one.
Any ideas?
so do you miss all settings ?
Or just a bunch...
What do you need ?
APN for internet access, SMS message service number
i.e whats not working for you.....?
Let me know and I will try and find out.
Hi and thanks for your reply.
Everything is working apart from internet and MMS.
Thanks
Then you need your APN details.
Internet access and MMS are both depending on your GPRS settings.
Make sure you get the correct APN adress in your phone.
According to the O2 web, these settings are the correct ones for GPRS.
GPRS access settings
APN: mobile.o2.co.uk
Primary DNS: 193.113.200.200
Secondary: DNS 193.113.200.201
Username: username
Password: password
You might want to doublecheck these settings so that they are the correct ones for YOUR tariff - otherwise you might end up paying more than you should.
Regards,
Martin
btw.
You will find the settings were you add the above at:
Start - Settings - Connections - GPRS.
In here you either edit an existing one, or add a new one (via Menu -Add).
Thanks for the info, these settings I have.
I think the problem is that is it trying to connect to work. What should it be?
Thanks again.
not 100% sure
Have a look at:

Its tricky for me to verify since I am on a Swedish network.
If you want to connect to the internet set connection to "The Internet".
Hi ,
I have Bell Atrix, unlocked, I flashed the Franch SBF 2.1.1, and all worked well, EXCEPT..
the phone is always roaming, I cannot get data unless I check the Data roaming, there is a little (r) next to my signal all the time..
and I don't know how to fix it..I checked Build.prop, to see if there any setting there.. but I dont know which and what to look for..
my question is: is there a way or a settings that I can change to get rid of the raoaming issue.
as I said my Atrix is BELL and I am with fido..
You need the apn settings for fido, and create an access name under wireless settings - network settings -access point names.

I did put the APN for Fido, unless I turn on the roaming data, it does not connect.. also now one seems to explain the (R) next to the signal.. why the Bell Atrix started to show me that its roaming after flashing with FR 2.1.1 sbf.. in on Montreal with FIDO and fido sim in my Atrix..
that is my real question.
Hi,
There are two numbers, MCC, and MNC in the APN, the phone will show roaming if what the network reports is different than what is setup.
MCC (mobile country code) for Canada is 302, you should have that.
MNC (mobile network code) for Fido is 370, if your APN isn't using that then you will be roaming.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code
The French sbf may not have the canada codes in it's apns.conf, see attached file from the Bell stock firmware, you can replace /etc/apns.conf with that, then go to access point names and reset to default.
Cheers!

I'll take a look in my apns.conf but it must have the Canada codes as I have been running the french sbf since it was leaked on my Bell version (on Bell) and never had it roam. I just had to add the Bell apn (obviously) and it worked fine.
I do have a question for you though, since you seem to know a lot about these phones, etc. On my last phone (Samsung Galaxy S), there was a secret menu code (like *#*#4636#*#*) that would take you to the network band settings. From there you could not only see what band the phone was running on, but you could SET what bands were active. Is there anything like that on the Atrix? I am curious if the modem in these non Bell sbf's like Telstra/french sbf access the 850MHz band or not.
Hi,
*#*#4636#*#* is the only one I know about. You can set GSM vs GSM only etc, that would be where you'd change bands.
The codes would only be launching an android app/service somewhere, i tried a hex edit and file search of apps, couldn't find it.
Cheers!

Thanks for looking. I wasn't sure if you could even manually set anything other then selecting "USA Bands" in 4636. It's no big deal, i'm just used to being able to go in and manually select bands on my previous SGS.
My signal is fine, it was just for curiosities sake.
HI NF
I check my APN. here are the values
Name: FIDO
APN: Internet.fido.ca
USERNAME:Fido
PWD:FIDO
*****
MCC:302
MNC: 370
Those are the only values I have..
this is really strange.. according to the above, I should not be roaming.. but something changed in my phone when I first flashed the French SBF.. and is shows roaming after that flash..
this is really strange..
UPDATE: another problem : when I choose Setting->call Setting->Operator Selector, I notived two things.
the Check box next to Select Automatically is not there, I think it was there when I was on Bell Stock,
next when I choose .. Search Networks.. it searched for long time and phone stops responding, I have to Turn off .
also, when I choose Advanced Setting the Call waiting is greyed out, when I click on Caller ID I get Invalid SIM Error.. again I have to reboot to get the phone working again..
the info I have after *#*# 4636 ...
Nieigbouring CID shows as UNKNOWN..
Roaming: Roaming
NETWORK TYPE:UMTS
not sure if this will you a clue..
Hi,
Sounds like it might be an issue with the radio itself, or it could be that you are just roaming, perhaps a network outage. I would try flashing the telstra sbf, see if you get the same problem. If we had a Bell sbf would could revert back to the stock radio, so we have two options, 1.87 or 1.92. You could try just flashing the radio to see.
In my settings, I have it set to GSM (auto), nothing special there. In network settings, I have it set to automatic, under operator selection, auto is selected. I don't have roaming issues myself with either firmware, but I am not using my phone in your area. Could just be a network update in my area from being in the same boat.
Cheers!
NFHimself..
I followed your instructions about Restore the partitions.. and it works.. I dont have roaming anymore and data work.. you are the man!!! thanks so much for your help
it Worked!!!
I followed your instructions to RESTORE the phone and man.. I was so happy to see it work.. thanks so much for your help..
You're welcome, two times.
Cheers!
I've searched to the best of my ability and can't find much help. My problem is that when I'm any custom ROM (tried about 5 including CM7, CM9 and RootBox JB) I must manually switch APNs when I get a MMS message. So for example, if I receive a picture message, I have to go into my APN setting and manually select my MMS APN, then go back to my messaging app and hit download. Then once it downloads, I have to go back into my APN setting and switch back to my internet APN. On the stock ROM this was not the case. I have all the correct settings, I'm absolutely sure. I've tried editing the apns-conf.xml file to add my carriers settings. Tried flashing without the sim card in. Can't seem to get it to work. I'd really appreciate any help you guys can provide.
Combine them

I assume you mean combine the two APN settings. I've tried that. All that does is leave me without internet or mms capabilities.
Seriously? what provider do you have? I'm guessing since you're in the USA judging by the american flag in your profile that you're on ATT or straight talk? Telling us what provider you have would help quite a bit..
Edit, I thought help me, help me I'm dying questions belong in the QnA forums?
Sorry, knew I was forgetting something. My carrier is Viaero. I live in the middle of nowhere in Colorado so its basically the only option. AT&T doesn't cover our area. And now this isn't an urgent issue, just something that kind of annoying. All I was looking for were some ideas on how to remedy the situation, so I thought general would be more appropriate.
Post both apns please
I've verified these with Viaero and with another SII running stock. also had an unlocked iPhone before which these worked with. Another side note, on custom roms if I put in the "APN TYPE" I get neither internet nor MMS. So I have to leave those blank to get it to work at all.
NAME
Viaero Connect
APN
internet.vedge.com
APN TYPE
internet
NAME
Viaero MMS
APN
mms
MMSC
http://mms.viaero.com
MMS PROXY
10.168.3.23
MMS PORT
9401
APN TYPE
mms
Did you ever figure this out? I have the same issue.
For MMS Part .... change port number "9401" to just blank
Hi guys,
I'm currently on a different country and I want to setup the APN for internet access, however everytime I hit save after typing everything, it doesn't save it. And if I modify the one I have for my original carrier (T-Mobile) it also dissapears. What could be wrong? Thanks!
Nevermind I made it work, but anyway I found out that if I change the MCC and/or the MNC numbers it won't save the APN, I don't know why.

Hi, sorry to bump a dead thread but I figured I'll not spam the same question again...
EDIT: I'm trying to add the "dun" keyword in the APN type
I have the same issue but more severe. I can't modify / change the T-Mobile APN to change the authentic type as it doesn't save it; no, I have changed the MCC or MNC.
This wouldn't be a problem if I can actually add a bloody new APN because it won't let me do that either
Do you or anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
I still can't save any settings, I tried to do what you are trying to do but it doesn't save it. The only thing that worked for me was downloading the internet settings and selecting the correct carrier. Later I figured that my carrier coverage is just crap for LTE where I live, so it is not the phone.
Still I don't know why is protected like this or why we can't add a new APN. Maybe rooting it will open it? I don't know.
My phone is on Lollipop and it did the same on KitKat.
Sorry, I wish I had an answer. Good luck!
so I am having APN issues after upgrading from 2.6.3 to 4.1.2 rooted. no data or mms, phone and txt works great. same provider.
galaxy s2 sch-r760 generic cdma, ACS provider here in alaska. apparently goes through gci?
now this is going to be a book, so grab a tasty beverage.
when i add the APN the mnc and mmc are not correct.
when i change them it discards the APN
i have no sim.
this thread did not help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715788
if i dont change those, it seems to communicate with my network as it fills in the mmsc field. but i get no internet.
if i enable then disable airplane mode it shows the 3g emblem, then it disappears.
I have all the correct APN info from my provider.
I have tried every way of changing the APN-conf.xml file but nothng has worked.
my thinking is that i need to change the default mnc and mmc that appear when i go to add the apn, to the correct values and then i will be able to save it.
however i cannot find that field in the systems. if someone know a trick i havent found in the last week of researching, please help.
could my phone be locked? if so how would i go about unlocking? could upgrading my software have changed my cdma settings??
i am fairly new to messing with android but i have some linux experience and am a quick learner.
Also if there is a custom rom or kernal or binary or what ever the operating system is called that might fix this issue and work on my device please let me know.
if someone does help i will pay a reward to them via pay pal, it wont be much but hey its better than nothing.
