[SOLVED][Q] Updated APN, now can't connect to network - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I updated my APN to help with an MMS problem I am having, but it didn't work. Rolling back my changes didn't help either, so I had to reset my APN list back to default. (using the option in the APN list).
Now my phone won't even connect to the network (I'm on O2-UK), to make and receive calls.
I've tried a nandroid restore and still no luck. Any ideas?
Regards
Darren

Apn settings do not affect calls. Any either other changes you have made?

Figured it out. After ringing O2 to ask them about part of the APN setting, there call-centre TROLL then marked my phone as Stolen/Lost. I found this out by LiveChatting to one of their UK operative on the O2 website and he confirmed my phone was listed as Stolen or Lost and would rectify it straight away (after taking some important data from me).
Thanks anyway chaps, could we close the question now?

Update PRL/Update Profile...

I was curious to what these things did, so I ran them. Next thing I know my internet has been disabled. I have full service and I make sure Data Connection is indeed enabled. What should I do? I'm actually watching my battery drain since it's trying to connect and failing...
PRL - Priority Roaming List - gives you new towers and some access updates as the provider changes things
Profile - On sprint is the data profile at registers your phone on their data network and let you use it. My guess is its about the same for other providers.
If you have changed some of the settings in the phone you can break it and you will have to reset everything and start over unless you find the change to fix it.
So do I have to do a hard-reset? I obviously have indeed changed a lot of settings but have no idea what to undo...
Should I bother calling Sprint?
Well I ended up doing a hard-reset and still no internet... No idea what to do now...

Have you tried to hit "Update Profile" again? If not try that. It that doesn't work then yes, you need to call sprint and have someone walk you through manually programming your phone. I know you're probably stressing but, trust me, this is no big deal. Easy fix for sure.
Good news, I talked to "Bob" at Sprint's customer service and had me change my Profile from 0 to 1 and everything is back to normal...
I give props to their CS, I could actually understand him!
PLease a little more info...
Where and how did you change your profile, is it a regestry edit or what?
I have MSL but where do i change profile?

I belive there is a way to edit these settings via cdma workshop but i dont know too much about that
I cant get the phone to connect to the work shop
Does anybody know if they have rooted this phone yet I read the forum about it it does seem like they have yet
Root is a work in progress.
What are you messing with your settings for? if your having issues just run *288 and let it do it. if that doesnt work use the RUU Update, and then reprogram your phone and use *288
I cant I have the Eris running on Cricket I have the phone, internet, text and the market running great but would like to have mms

uhhh, yoo hooo! guys, the htc based android phones are dirt simple to program for use on another network..
I've had my eris running full on alltel over two months now with the unl. data plan. Never looses 3G, alltels 3G coverage is wicked sweet.
Getting Voice & SMS working:
Get current .PRL file for your network(alltel, sprint, vzw, cricket, etc..), google for it. Mount your phone thru USB, drag the PRL to the root of the SD card.
Unmount
Dial##PRL
Enter SPC code
Select PRL from SD
Restart Phone
Activate phone with your carrier, lie about what phone it is, i told alltel i'm a Samsung Delve, a phone they have.
They'll tell you to *228 it, this will work perfectly after you've programmed the PRL described above.
Hang up with them.
Getting data to work:
Dial ##PST send.
Enter SPC code
Go to security...
Google for those settings for your carrier and enter all that is asked for in that menu screen.
Do nothing else, restart the phone.
Now, setting up MMS on the Eris is a pain, I still can't get it.
When going to Messages, Settings, Connection settings, ... i am not allowed to edit those settings, they're stuck at vzw values.
IF .. and ONLY if I install the "quick settings" app in the market, disable mobile network, THEN go to messages, connection settings, .. i can now edit those values and change them to alltel's mms addresses... go home, them go back into messages, connection settings, all is saved, good. If I go and re-enable mobile network, ... the mms connection settings switch back to vzw... GAHH!!!

It's probably just allowing you to input settings but unable to save them due to lack of permissions. Looks like MMS is screwed until root gets here :\
how do you get web working on crickets network ive change the settings from the security but still no luck.

[Q] Update to 2.1 on AT&T

This has been discussed many, many times on here and elsewhere. AT&T did NOT release the 2.1 update yet. If you are impatient, you can go here and flash the X10a world generic firmware. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825201

I'm a USA AT&T customer. I used that and I have had no problems that were not my fault in the first place
I to am on at&t I flashed 2.1 generic onto my phone no problems just remember to put your apn's in ajd you will jave 2.1 enjoy

A question for those more informed than myself
Hey Guys, wondering if you all could help me out.
I Updated my Xperia X10a on At&t using the flash method and now I cannot connect to the network... I've been looking around, but I cannot find any hits for my issue.
Basically when I go to Mobile Networks and search, it finds the AT&T Carrier, but when I click it and it tries to register it says "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network"
Just stumped, that's what I am...

You need to set your APN settings
Go to settings --> wireless & netwroks --> mobile networks --> access point names and creat a new APN as follows:
<name> att
<apn> wap.cingular
<proxy> wireless.cingular.com
<port> 80
<username> not set
<password> not set
<server> not set
<mmsc> http://mmsc.cingular.com
<mms proxy> wireless.cingular.com
<mms port> 80
<mcc> 310
<mnc> 410
<apn type> not set
I tried before to put an APN in, but with slightly different settings (username and passwords)...
Anywho, I tried your settings, I go to APN's and hit menu > New... Fill out all your information, then hit menu > save... It goes back to the blank apn screen... is that normal? or shouldn't it show the new one I just made?

You can then go back and choose it as your default. The settings I have are 100% working.
If that does not work, try repairing your firmware with SEUS.
the screen after you click "Access Point Names" just says "APNs" at the top. When I make a new one, it doesn't show up... ideas?
Also, if I restore with SEUS, will it restore 2.1? or back to 1.6?

You will restore to whatever firmware you have right now. I suggest you do this first (restore using SEUS) then enter your APN settings.
Okay, so I have done a repair through SEUS and gotten back to where I was...
Same issue... I can get into the APNs area and create a new one, but it doesn't seem to save... there is a blank area where I know there should be a list.
Also, let me express my appreciation that you are taking the time to help me.

Weird. OK try Settings --> Sony Ericsson (should be top option in the menu). Make sure you are connected to a WiFi network and try downloading the settings from SE servers.
Lol... Okay so when I go to the sony ericsson thingy...it says "could not download settings. Retry?"
I'm on wifi and I'm able to browse the internet on the phone

Guys, it is not APN issue - it says "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network". I had the same message before unlocking mine. But maybe I have a working hunch. When I received mine locked to TMO UK phone and tried my TMO US SIM, it just stuck on screen with network unlocking key input that is the way locked phone behaves under 1.6. But I blew away dust from my old proxy SIM card for unlocking iPhone 2008 and it worked! I was glad to save some bucks, but when I flashed 2.1, after around 16 hours I got the same error message about network and no service anymore. I had contact issue with this proxy card, so I tried several times and eventually broke it, so now I am unable to research it deeper. Without this proxy SIM card my phone behaved differently - it wanted network unlock code just after turning on. With proxy it booted silently and just showed that the network is unreachable. So I see exactly the same behavior in your phone as mine with proxy SIM card. It sounds weird and I didn't find another case like mine, but look like some way your phone is locked. I remember when iPhone wasn't cracked yet, some phones were hardware unlocked by installing some proxy cards inside the phone (by soldering), so you just need to insert your own card and it worked like unlocked. It is the only logical explanation for me now. How did you get your phone? If it is officially from ATT store, just replace it. If not - Houston, we have a problem.
No, its nothing like that... The phone is a stock att phone from an att store... It was working previously just fine and this whole mess started aster I flashed it to 2.1...
Could I have missed something while flashing I wonder?

Probably not. The only thing is getting the APN settings and all should be working fine. This may be dumb, but are you sure you are entering all the info correctly and then saving the settings. You should then choose it as your default APN.

So one more time:
Settings --> Wireless & Networks --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names.
Then press the far left button with the 4 boxes on top of it and click New APN and enter the settings as mentioned earlier.
If not, then try a hard reset. Remove the battery while the phone is still on, remove the SIM card and wait 10 minutes before putting it back in and turning on the phone.

apn missing mms protocol settings

Hi this is an odd one, but here goes. I am on Solavei and have to manually set apns well recently after reflash, the apn setting for mms protocol is completely missing. Checked the factory tmobile apns and they don't show it either. I have no idea how this happened but it's driving me crazy. I've reset and flashed 3 different roms all with the same issue. Any ideas or input would be much appreciated. As a result of no mms protocol, I can no longer send or receive mms.
wow apparently I stumped everyone. Or my question isn't clear?
Search on the google for your settings and Than set manually or you may ask for help to your service provider,
They will guide you and teach you set manual settings..

lol I have done that. There is an entire field "mms protocol" missing from the apn settings on 3 roms that I've tried. i'm concerned that I somehow jacked something up during one of my flashes but I can't understand how it would affect all my installs unless they are from the same source.

lol what you guys aren't getting is I know all my settings. So slow down before you answer please. I know what my apn settings should be. I've done this before. The problem is that under apn settings in my phone, there is no longer a field for mms protocol. Without said field, I can't change the protocol to the correct setting and hence am not getting or sending mms.
Did you ever find a solution? I'm trying to enable MMS on my LG GTab and there are no MMS fields in the APN settings.

In your mobile networks find the APN names. If there is no explicit MMS section, there is a PROTOCOL section or something like it where you would add "mms" in the new APN you would create.
This page will give some basic insight, but might not need to be followed exactly--tailor to your needs.

lol at the previous poster doing exactly the same thing ... again. You guys, the problem isn't what setting to use OR where to use the setting. The problem is there is literally no place to put in the setting that you need. The field "MMS Protocol" is not there.... you simply cannot enter the information that you need to. It's obvious that it's in the APN settings where you can change all the other related fields. Funny how two years apart, people are not reading and spewing the same stuff...
Anyway, apologies for resurrecting this, yet again. I got a new phone recently and I am having the same issue. I'm looking for this field but it's not available. This was actually the most relevant thread that I've found after a bunch of searching. So, if anyone found a solution (for this or any other phone/tablet), please tell!

Maybe the rom's don't have that setting? Same thing if you create a new APN?
Correct, it is not in the default APN nor available when creating a new APN. Unfortunately, I am stuck with a phone that has no custom roms at the moment. The question is whether this setting is actually missing (not displayed) AND unsupported (not implemented) or whether it is simply missing (not displayed) in the rom. There seems to be very little online that I can find about this other than threads which mention that the "MMS protocol" should be x, y, z for the APN of a particular network. Basically, all my searches turn up nothing as to "why" this is missing and whether (or not) there is anything that can be done about it.

Carrier probably crippled the feature in their factory rom--which means it is available, but not displayed--they don't want anyone messing with it.
So all you gotta do is find how to edit the file in which that information is stored, and I bet it's really easy.
Good luck.

While I don't disagree with you that there is probably a file somewhere that deals with this...I disagree that it is easy. That is, it would be easy...if the information on how to do it and/or where to find it were actually easy to find
I also disagree that this is simply due to a carrier-based rom. First reason is that this phone is an international, factory unlocked phone and the rom comes directly from the manufacturer. While it's possible that manufacturers themselves don't want you to change this setting, that would explain the second problem I have. I have a slightly older phone with a custom rom which also doesn't have this setting. It's possible that phone doesn't support that setting anyhow...but I don't feel like buying a bunch of other phones just to look into this one thing.
Anyway... none of this stuff about *me* is actually even relevant. I think our discussion still doesn't help people find what they are looking for. So, let's leave it at that and maybe someone will stop by here sooner than later and know the answer (and then also post the answer) about if this is "unlockable" or it's permanently missing for whatever reason.

Then the factory was very lucky in locking in just precisely the APN you need in your country for your carrier. That doesn't sound like an unlocked international device to me.
See if there is a way to add a new APN specifically for MMS. MMS settings can be excluded from APN because they are meant to be in a separate APN.

Sorry...not sure I follow the relationship here... And unlocked phone is not attached to a carrier. I bought it unlocked, unattached to a carrier, and I am using it on a carrier here, without the need to unlock it. How exactly does that mean that the factory locked something on it...
Just because there is no "MMS protocol" setting in the APN settings doesn't mean my phone is completely gimped.

I created a new APN with just mms in the "APN type", saved, went back in to edit and see no difference in the available settings. On the APN selection screen, this particular APN did not have a "checkbox" on the right side, so it was different due to the APN type.

I'm glad you gave it a try.
Every carrier's APN's are different--a factory unlocked phone has to allow for changes to the APN and one can only assume, to the MMSC. Did you put the other APN settings in yourself?
Have you asked the factory or tried support from the manu?
What kind of phone do you have--Amaze 4G? Which region?
It's been years and I'm having the same issue, has anyone found the solution?
Edit: By years I mean this thread, not me having the issue.
I have a S7 Edge.
In the APN Settings, there seems to be everything except the option for MMS Protocol. :/
This is the first time I've seen someone with my exact problem...it appears no one has the answer yet? OP, did you ever figure it out?

[Q] Using phone abroad, can't connect to data network

Hi everyone, I've read quite a few discussions on here but this is my first post.
I've recently moved to Sweden from the US with my sprint lg g3. Before I moved, sprint told me that my plan covers me to use voice and data for free, but only with a specific carrier. They said that it's already taken care of and I shouldn't need to do anything when I get there.
That was one week ago. I've been in Sweden for a week and every day of that week I've spent around an hour on the phone with sprint trying to get my phone to connect to the data network. I get voice just fine, but, from what I understand, the phone is wanting to connect to a different carrier for data and he doesn't know how to force it to connect to the right one.
So, after some digging, it looks like I might be able to create a new apn and maybe connect to the right data network that way? Going down this path, I can't by default add any apns, so I followed another discussion and installed root tweaker to be able to fix that. My phone is indeed rooted on lollipop, but the tweaker doesn't seem to change anything for the apn screen, I still can't add nor edit them.
So, my two questions are, should I even be messing with apns (and if not, what should I be doing), and if I should mess with apns, how can I edit it/make a new one?
Thanks so much in advance, I'm getting frustrated with the sprint guys so I'm trying to take some initiative myself.

I've recently moved to Sweden from the US with my sprint lg g3. Before I moved, sprint told me that my plan covers me to use voice and data for free, but only with a specific carrier. They said that it's already taken care of and I shouldn't need to do anything when I get there.
That was one week ago. I've been in Sweden for a week and every day of that week I've spent around an hour on the phone with sprint trying to get my phone to connect to the data network. I get voice just fine, but, from what I understand, the phone is wanting to connect to a different carrier for data and he doesn't know how to force it to connect to the right one.
So, after some digging, it looks like I might be able to create a new apn and maybe connect to the right data network that way? Going down this path, I can't by default add any apns, so I followed another discussion and installed root tweaker to be able to fix that. My phone is indeed rooted on lollipop, but the tweaker doesn't seem to change anything for the apn screen, I still can't add nor edit them.
So, my two questions are, should I even be messing with apns (and if not, what should I be doing), and if I should mess with apns, how can I edit it/make a new one?
Thanks so much in advance, I'm getting frustrated with the sprint guys so I'm trying to take some initiative myself.

Try flashing (in recovery) my "MegaAPN" file. It should support a HUGE amount of carriers. You may also need to unlock your apn's so you can edit them. You can do that by searching for this: com.lge.hiddenmenu.settings.ApnUnlock in shortcut master (lite or pro) and clicking the name of the shortcut then just press the "Launch" button (looks like a little Space Ship). Then just press the little "Unlock APN" button and Reboot. You should now beable to add/edit and remove APN's.
Hope this helps:good:
Hi!
I've tried the shortcut master to unlock my apn, and a dialogue bowstring my apn is unlocked appeared, but after a reboot I still have no options to add or edit an apn.
Luckily I do know the carrier I need to be on, and I've found the apn information for that carrier, I just need to be able to add it in the phone I guess.
Thanks for your help!
