[Q] unable to install apps / APN Settings - Streak 5 Android Development

Using Stephens 2.2 I was able to install apps from the market place.
I then did a couple of things, 1 was to install Universal Androot, the other was to configure my APN settings.
After that I'm unable to install anything from the Market (just paid for 2 apps as well).
Tried a few things, (clear cache, airplane mode etc) but nothing tried so far works, I suspect it could be wrong APN settings, can anyone post their O2 apn settings so I can double check?.
Can anyone suggest anything else to try (i did see a post saying to uninstall market updates from options, but can't find that app (the instructions were a bit vague so I could be missing something).
Thanks

There is a problem with the market either very slow at downloading or it wont download you just have to be patient and keep trying

You mean I've just factory reset my phone for nothing !!!!!!

I'm not sure quite how but I seem to have sorted it out, earlier it wouldn't download
using APN settings I found elsewhere, these were as follows (trying to help others),
----------------------------------------------------------
Name: O2 Internet
APN: mobile.o2.co.uk
username: vertigo
password: password
MCC:234
MNC 10
APN type: default (actually type in default, don't leave it blank)
All others remain as "not set".

APN type: mms
---------------------
Neither the phone's own connection or my home wifi connection would work, did a factory re-set, no APN's configured, setup wireless and downloaded three or four apps from market no problems.
Did a bit more configuring on the phone and then needed some more apps only this time they wouldn't download, same issue as before. No APN's configured yet.
Tried all sorts of the recommended fixes but no success.
Stopped wifi configured this APN :-
------------------------------------------------
Name o2
APN mobile.o2.co.uk
Username mobileweb
Password password
------------------------------------------------
I dont think I rebooted, but after enabling the connection and giving it a couple of minutes to settle, then trying a web page I went back to market and apps have downloaded since (5 apps).
Sometimes I get a "Network Error" when starting and have to close market and try again but so far have managed to install 5 apps.
So, wifi connection sometimes works, which got me wondering :-
I read somewhere that Market uses different ports, is there a list of ports (will search after this) and do they sometimes switch ports, eg if there's a number of connections on one port do they switch to another (and this one is blocked by my firewall).
Do they blacklist certain IP's during busy times, eg server is really busy and I've downloaded apps for 20 minutes (really slow connection at home) so they block my IP ?.
In other words, is this deliberate in order to share overloaded bandwidth fairly ? rather than a problem with phones/settings themselves.

MMS

So I know this seems to be an issue but cant seem to find a straight answer.
I got my vibrant a few days ago and do not know what rom I am running. I am using Tmobile and I am able to recieve MMS's blurry, and I can not send them. However I updated the APN settings to these
Name: Simple
APN: simple
Proxy: 216.155.165.050
Port: 8080
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set

MMS proxy: 216.155.165.050
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Aunthentication type: PAP
APN type: internet + mms
Now when I performed this last night working station 3.I was using wifi calling and all of a sudden was able to send MMS no problem. I left and was on regular network and still I could send...no matter what I still recieved blurry ones. I woke up today and went to work at station 4. I again could not send MMS's at all (was on wifi calling and tried normal network). I came back to station 3 and still could not send MMS. I checked my APN settings to make sure nothing changed, and alas it did not. I am on the wifi calling here. I retried and sure enough I can send...I changed nothing and am on wifi calling and when I was at station 4 this morning I was on wifi calling and it didnt work, and i tried on the regular network and it didnt work.
Sometimes I get a general "fail to send", while others I get "error connecting to the network"
My question is why is it working now after i checked the settings and changed nothing.? and how can I find what version and kind of ROM I am running?
Regardless of which I am finding a lot of topics, but cant seem to find a fix for both the blurry issue and not being able to send MMS.
Thanks guys for the understanding and cooperation this whole droid thing is new to me after being a blackberry head. I love the phone but I am still new to this whole thing, I am wish I knew how to update my kernel (if I knew what version or type of a ROM I am running).
I feel burnt out from pondering this all day.

[Q] full market access?

can't find barnacle wifi tether on market and i want to install it. the free tethering workaround worked yesterday but today i'm having issues getting past the authentications. do we have a tweak out yet for unrestricted market access?
i know i can put it in airplane mode and find it, but i'm not near wifi right now :/
cant help you with barnacle wifi but you can do this to unlock tethering without paying ATT

yah i did that yesterday and i was having trouble today. i'll delete the apn i made and redo it with those settings, maybe something i have is different currently .
+ 1 to u thx
edit:
compared my setting to those and i'm not seeing the MMS Protocol: field on my phone, otherwise mine are the same.
I use Market Access. If you are rooted and can install unknown apks then get that.

I change my app store to the TMobile app store to get barnacle then back to the ATT app store once dlo'd
Sometimes you can use Appbrain to trick it into letting you download things, but not always.

[Q] Can't text on ATT branded X10 2.1

I had 1.6 on my X10 which was ATT branded. Since I was new to android and xda, I just followed a random tutorial of unbranding (or something) to get my phone to 2.1, because it was before the official att 2.1. I updated before I ever tried texting even on 1.6, so that may be the case, but I can't text at all right now. I thought maybe it was from screwing up during the 2.1 update. I'm trying to install the official 2.1 right now to try, but if that doesn't work, does anyone know how to fix this problem? I NEED texting
what do you mean texting doesn't work?
can you not send messages? Have you received any messages?
Need more details...
Sent from my x10 Platinum
I'll say as much as I can, but I'm a noob when it comes to phone so just ask if you need any more.
My contract lets me text, but when I try, it says "could not send". But I can receive them fine.
I have x10 2.1 unbranded right now, since maybe a year ago, used to have 1.6 att.
I think I rooted my phone... I should have, but not sure (lol)
I've never come across this problem before. But you might want to use flashtool to flash one of the custom roms skiing with the correct baseband. If you need help with this, send me a pm.

You need to set up your wireless apn go to menu/settings/sony ericsson/settings download then wait a few you will see it flash on then go to back button/wireless & networks/mobile networks/network mode/gsm/wcdma preferred (click it)/access point name there shoud be two, one wireless/one mmsc. if for some reason you have three make sure that the top one (the house icon) is checked or you will be roaming.

Okay well after clicking settings download, my only service provider is ATT. When I click that nothing happens for a while but then it ends up saying "Could not download settings. Retry?"
But while it's searching, I have 3 APNS, AT&T, ATT, and SEMC GPRS, which gets selected by default. After it says "Could not download settings. Retry?", all I'm left with is 2 APNs, ATT and AT&T. Both of which I put in manually.
I might just not know what you're saying, but i can't seem to make it work
Well try this these are my APNs in USA Calif. and ONLY change the settings i give you and the way they are (case sensitive) if your in this area if not find a friend an look at theirs.
Also you have to wait to see the 3G/H/or E. And maybe set the GSM/WCDMA Preferred first then download settings. You do not have to click it after it downloads it's just telling you that is your connection name. Then go to settings.
Do this first if your go to reset your APNs download or Manually
Delete the APNs you have now then go and do the settings again.

Not sure if I'm doing anything wrong, but it didn't seem to work. What I did was delete my APNs, input yours exactly like that (and left everything else blank), and then settings download. Still didn't work I have H connection, and it does "connect", but even when I go on my browser, it says the url is blocked or something. I don't know what I did different but before this the browser worked fine, just texting wouldn't work. What about that [email protected] thing? I remember something about that. When I put those in, my browser worked fine.
Also one more thing. While trying to fix it, I thought I might as well update to 2.3 if I unbranded it already. But before that, when I was in 2.1, the text would instantly return with "could not send". Now, when I try to text, it says "sending" for a couple minutes and then after that says "could not send" again.
No do not Download settings again, you just put them in then Menu/save.
By downloading settings after you ether wiped the settings you just put in Or you have like to-many apns an your phone is freaking out trying too find the right ones.
But ya I would update the rom. An "I" would use Wolfs rom mo better faster.
Just watch the video can you can't go wrong then try the steps to setup your Apns
Also if you have a friend on the same network just look at his settings.

[Q] MMS not working

Hi,
I have an HTC Droid Incredible LTE and cannot send or receive MMS. I have Straight Talk on Tmo network, they were no help whatsoever. Phone, txt, and data all work. Interestingly (maybe related?) when wifi is on I still have the symbol of data going (it's an E with up/down arrows), so I don't actually know which it's using. However, even with wifi off I have data but no MMS regardless of wifi on or off. Preferred network is set to GSM/UMTS mode.
Current APN:
APN: wap.tracfone
Port: 8080 (tried with and without)
MMSC: http mms dot tracfone dot com
MMS Port: 8080
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: default,supl,mms (also default,hipri without success).
I've tried installing Tweakker to auto set it, but somehow it's not compatible with my device & the play store won't let me get it. A different APN app says I'm on Tmo network. I've tried Tmo settings in the past and lost all data & txt. I've also tried Wireless Manager as recommended by another post here without success.
I've tried deleting all APNs in order to reboot & start fresh, but 1 always shows up again by default, similar to the one above. My phone is the default OS. I could give it to my husband to put a custom rom on it for me if absolutely necessary.
I know there are people here using this phone in a similar manner (that's why I got it). Any other things I can try?

[MOD] APN Tweak

I don't think there is anything like this for the Moto X on here or I didn't see it.
The goal is to increase you mobile data speeds.
*Disclaimer*
I don't take responsibility for anyone ruining there data settings or if you speeds are so fast you start having addictions and run up your bill.
First, lets explain what the APN is. It is the Access Point Name. Its function is basically a gateway between your phone, the carrier, and the inter web.
There are a few ways to accomplish this. One is adding the APN in your settings, but I had(and read other people too) where the stock ATT APN overrides the one you create.
Option 1) Adding a APN in Settings.
Go to Settings>Under Wireless & Networks click More>Mobile Network>Access Point Names>Click the Plus
Some info on these settings. If there is nothing in the field below, leave blank. Also if the MMS Port set as 80 causes issues, then use 8080.
The Bearer settings will be a hit or miss if it helps you. eHRPD is for CDMA and is just a software tweak used by verizon to help hand off between CDMA and LTE a few years ago. Sprint users may benefit from this since they are rolling out there LTE.

APN: pta

Username:
Password:
Server:
MMSC: https://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: none
APN type:default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hipri,internet
APN Protocol:
APN Roaming Protocol:
APN enable/disable:
Bearer: Default is unspecified, but you can try LTE if you are on GSM. CDMA can use the eHRPD
MVNO Type:
Click on the menu and save. Click the radio button to select the APN, Reboot your phone, and check the APN to see if it is still checked. If it isn't then use option 2.
Option 2) Removing the APN's and creating one
You will need Root for this to work. 4.4 changed some write settings for 3rd party apps. They have to be installed in the system/priv-app/ folder for this to work.
Either google for APN Backup & Restore or install it from the Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.APNBackupRestore
Step 1) Setup APN App
Option A: If you downloaded the APK.
Then using a file explorer move the apk to system/priv-app/ and install it.
Option B: If you installed it from the Playstore.
Go to Data/App/ and find com.riteshsahu.APN.apk and copy it to your sdcard.
Next using whatever you use to unstall apps, uninstall the APN app.
Then move the apk from the sdcard to system/priv-app/ and install.
I set the permissions to rwx r-x r-x.
Step 2) Backing Up & Deleting Current APNs
Open the app and click the menu button.
The last option is to disable the ICS Check.
Now click on the first options, Backup APNs. A pop up will come up to save the file. Press ok.
If you get a error about the app can't write to the APN settings, then the apk is not installed properly.
Click on the Delete APNs button
A popup will appear warning about deleting them, click ok
Until you reenter a new APN, you will not have Data, SMS, MMS service
Step 3) Install Anycut
Anycut is a app that makes shortcuts. In this case to the Programming menu
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spring.bird.anycut
After you install the app. Do the following
Launch the app and click the button that says new shortbut
Click on Activity
Scroll down till you find the Programming Menu. Click it and click ok to the popup
NOTE: There are 2 listed. Select the 2nd one first. If that doesn't work, then redo the steps and select the 1st one.
Step 4) Create a new APN Via Programming Menu
Click the shortcut that Anycut made
Scroll down to 13 APN Controls. Click APN Config Edit. You should see no APNs listed
Click on the menu and select New APN
Enter the same APN settings from above
There is a setting that you have access to that isn't in the settings option APN. Under the APN Protocol you can select IPv4, IPv6,IPv4/IPv6. From what I read this is experimental and may not improve anything, but tmobile customers may find this working.

I normally would get 5-8 Mbps at my house. With this APN Setup, I get 12-16. I have 2 bars normally. I drove to Walmart after doing this and I got 41Mb down and 13Mb up with full service.
I will add in any credits later,
This is what it did for me. The first screenshot is showing the 41(full service as you notice) then I reverted back to original apn. Those are normal at my house. The last 2 are at my school.

You would have to change the mcc and mcn to your country and network provider.
Actually every outside of att would have to use this. This is the site for worldwide lookup.

hey cart!
This is from a Austrailian site. http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1663451
There are alot of sites that have different setups for each carrier, but not many that explain what they mean. Here are some of them.
The FOTA and MMS are obvious. trying to find info on the admin and internet.
1. Dial Up Network (TYPE_MOBILE_DUN)
This is really old but might be used for some very old networks. Networking Bridge so that the carrier is aware of DUN traffic. It may coexist with default data connections.
3. High Priority Mobile data {TYPE_MOBILE_HIPRI}
A High Priority Mobile data connection. This connection is typically the same as {TYPE_MOBILE} but the routing setup is different. Only requesting processes will have access to the Mobile DNS servers and only IP’s explicitly requested via {@link #requestRouteToHost} will route over this interface if a default route exists.
Below are the APN TYPES that you set in the APN config on your phone.
1. Default (TYPE_MOBILE)
The Default Mobile data connection. When active, all data traffic will use this connection by default. Should not coexist with other default connections.
3. supl (TYPE_MOBILE_SUPL);
A Secure User Plane Location specific Mobile data connection. This connection may be the same as {TYPE_MOBILE} but it may be different. This is used by applications needing to talk to the carrier’s Secure User Plane Location servers for help locating the device
