I have been trying to add the AT&T APN to my unlocked Rogers i717r note, and have, after a process of elimination, discovered that adding an APN is functional, UNLESS I change the MMC or MNC port numbers. If I add an APN, it sticks just fine. But if I go back in and change the MMC or MNC ports, then it disappears off the list for some reason.
Does anyone else see this phenomenon?
For general info, I am on the stock ROM, rooted kernel, and touch-based CWM.
This thread has some relevant information. Mainly its because the Radio Interface Layer does not allow switching to another MMC MNC protocol.

Dunno if it will work for the Note, but it seems like it is a general android hack, and not hardware-specific. We shall see.
The last couple of days I have really enjoyed trying out these new roms the Mx2 but I can never get the mms to work. My mx2 is with Bluegrass Cellular and if anyone can share the correct setting I would appreicate it. I have searched and searched and cant seem the find the correct ones.

Try this tutorial. It's not for MX2 but its still for ICS and its what I did to get my MMS working on Cspire.

I too have bluegrass and could not get MMS to work forever. Finally I found the right combination of fixes that works for me (and has been replicated on all my coworkers devices). I am using this on Eclipse 2.3 on my MX2. I do not know if it will work for other carriers or other ROMs. Use at your own risk.
First, you will need root (which you have if you are on a custom rom), and you will need a file explorer that let's you browse with root permissions (I use ES File Explorer with root options set in settings).
Browse to /system/etc/ and replace apns-conf.xml with all the .xml files from the Conf folder in the attached Conf.zip file. I am not sure why there are so many, I copied them from a stock Bluegrass MX2. (Feel free to make a backup of your original apns-conf.xml prior to replacement).
Now, browse to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ and delete the 3 .db files here. (Again, make a backup if you wish). This will remove your existing text messages off your device!
Restart your device.
Now download "APN Settings Shortcut" from the Play Store. This is not an app or widget, but an actual shortcut. Press and hold on an empty space on your home screen and choose Shortcut and then APN Settings Shortcut.
Once it opens, hit menu and then new. Populate all fields with the following settings:
Name

APN

All credit goes to them, I just kept trying fixes until one worked for me, and it ended up taking a combination of three.

Self Bumping an old post so that anyone still in need can get some additional for ICS roms.
You can edit the APN information on ICS roms (or at least the latest CM9 Beta) by opeing Voice Dialer (it is a preinstalled app) and saying:
A P Ns
Then choose Open APNs. Hit the menu button and choose new, then enter the same information listed above. Hit the menu button again and choose save. Reboot and enjoy MMS on ICS.
This is how I got LTE to work permanently on a Videotron G2 after much Googling. It may not be the best solution, but it does the job for me !
I am not responsible if anything happens to your phone. There are tools to unbrick it though
First, you need to have an LTE SIM card (good luck with that one) and a rooted phone
Second, you've got to rename "LteConfigs.apk" in system/apps (Could be "LteConfigs.apk.bck")
Third, create this new APN and select it :
Name: Videotron LTE
APN : media.ng
MMSC: http://media.videotron.com
MCC : 302
MNC : 500
APN Type: default,mms,supl
Leave all other fields empty.
Lastly, reboot the phone then go to Parameters, Network and connection sharing, Mobile networks, Network mode and select "GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto".
Warning: Once rooted, it's best to unroot before getting any OTA updates, but first rename "LteConfigs.apk", else the OTA will fail.
It has been easier for me
This is what I did:
First, make sutre your device is upgraded with KitKat. Then, ask for a LTE SIM card on a Videotron Store (employes are willing to give it, even if the LG G2 is not yet compatible).
Once the LTE sim card is inserted and "configured" by Videotron, go on the telephone keypad and type * #* #4636 #*#*
Right after tou type that, you arrive on the hidden menu of the phone. Once you are there, go into the phone information and switch the favorite network you want to use for LTE only. The network should switch to LTE mode. When it is done, change again the favorite network for LTE/WCDMA/GSM. If you don't do that, you will not be able to place a phone call. If it does not work, you can try to search the available network in SYSTEM SETTINGS, NETWORK, THETHERING & NETWORK, MOBILE NETWORK, NETWORK OPERATOR, SEARCH NETWORK. Hopefully a videotron LTE network will be availlable (chose Videotron PRT).
Good luck! The experience is clearly enhanced on the LTE network.
*** SOLVED, see third post ***
Hello, I'm trying to use my VWZ Note 2 on MetroPCS.
I'm rooted, stock 4.4.2.
When I use the buildprop edit suggested here, my "add access point names" menu disappears entirely:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...41691-mod-add-apn-editor-system-settings.html
If I remove the buildprop code, I get the menu back, but I can't edit anything.
I pushed my own version of "apns-conf.xml" to /sdcard/ and then pasted it into /system/etc/ and replaced the old one, changed permissions to read-only. Also tried read/write all permissions open.
I can now click the "+" button in the APNs screen. I can add/save APNS, but when (and only when) I have ALL of the correct APN info put in, it instantly deletes the APN I've added. Up to that point I can save the APN, see it in the APN list, and edit it further.
I restart phone, the APNs are all gone except the grayed-out "LTE - Verizon Internet".
I got an app to read the APN settings from the SIM card itself (the one I'm already using on my metroPCS phone). Interestingly, these are the networks on the SIM card:
T-Mobile US
Simple
StraightTalk T-Mobile
solavei
T-Mobile LTE
Added both of the T-Mobile APNs, which did save to my access point names, but no network still.
Then I realized that I am a monumental idiot. I put the SIM back in my old metroPCS phone and got the APN settings from there. For future use, here they are:
Name: MetroPCS
APN: fast.metropcs.com
MMSC: http://metropcs.mmsmvno.com/mms/wapenc
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri
APN protocol: IPv6
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
Let's try putting those in my note 2. Why the heck I didn't try this sooner is beyond me.
Still nothing, "No signal." Also, "SIM from unknown source."
EDIT: As I suspected, the APN settings weren't being saved to apns-conf.xml in system/etc/
So I pulled, edited, pushed my new version of apns-conf.xml to have the correct metro pcs settings, put it back in system/etc/, set the correct permissions (read-only for the system).
Now I have the MetroPCS access point name, it matches apns-conf.xml, but still no connection.
I think I'm about out of options.
SOLVED.
If mod wants to truncate this into one post total, that's cool.
My process to get MetroPCS working on a VZW (Verizon) Note 2.
1: Root it
Get ghettoroot 2.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2924899&d=1409874318
Download android SDK
Set environmental variable for adb commands. Note that you add the command after whatever is already in "path" variable, with a semicolon between: http://jaxov.com/2010/10/set-up-adb-on-windows-7-vista-xp-for-android-phones/
Uninstall any samsung stuff, especially KIES. Then install samsung drivers: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCH-I605TSAVZW
Ghettoroot your phone. You'll need to enable usb debugging, under developer options. How to enable developer options: System settings > about phone > Build number. Press "Build number" like 7 times or so and it will unlock dev options.
Now we need to do some APN settings. Follow this for the method, rest of this post for the info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044449
APN info (if value not shown, leave blank/default):
Name: MetroPCS
APN: fast.metropcs.com
MMSC: http://metropcs.mmsvno.com/mms/wapenc
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri,*
APN protocol: IPv6
You'll want to have those settings both in the apns-conf.xml, and in the More Settings>Mobile Networks>Access point names
Activate your phone with MetroPCS.
Remove "Unknown SIM card" notification: Long press the notification to figure out which app is creating it (app info), then use titanium backup to uninstall it.
I have read and read i am having issues now since the sim message is generated by tbe system ui i cant kill this is in the verizon note 2 when i install the sim it force closes everything any thoughts would be great.
Ugh. Try doing a factory reset and starting over.
Make sure you use TitaniumBackup to uninstall (preferably freeze if you own pro) the app that's causing the SIM message. You must be rooted of course. Not sure why things would force close, you might have got rid of wrong system app.

If you are rooted, install Root Explorer, open it and click on the r/w at the top , navigate to the app folder, find the setup wizard folder and delete it. Restart phone and the message will be gone!
Hi guys
Does anybody knows an alternative way to unlock gsm on the VGN2 with 4.4.2?
All this is, is a simple guide to get data and mms/sms working on "most" other note 3 variant 5.0 lollipop Roms. As an example, we will use darklord 2.2. This method has worked on most of the Roms that I have flashed that are not sprint based.
OK. You are going to need a few apps. APN manager and APN changer and root explorer. APN manager is a paid app, but worth it when flashing other variant's roms. When you do flash DarkLord 2.2, you will need to do so with philz recovery. It will not flash in TWRP. Once the phone boots, choose your language and when you get to the second screen asking about sharing your data usage. Check "no thanks". It should be the second option. Log in to Google play store and download those three apps. Open APN changer first. See if there is an APN already there named sprint. Even if there is or is not. You will either change a few things in it or if there is not one, you will create one. Either or, you APN should read as follows. . . . . .
NAME: APN LTE internet
APN: n.ispsn
PROXY: not set
PORT: not set
USERNAME: not set
PASSWORD: not set
SERVER: not set
MMSC: http://mms.sprintpcs.com
MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE PROXY: 68.28.31.7
MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE PORT: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 120
AUTHENTICATION TYPE: none
APN TYPE: default,mms,dun
APN PROTOCOL: Ipv4/Ipv6
APN ROAMING PROTOCOL: Ipv4/Ipv6
TURN APN ON/OFF: should be checked but greyed out. Can not change this.
BEARER: LTE
MOBILE VIRTUAL NETWORK OPERATOR TYPE: none
MOBILE VIRTUAL NETWORK OPERATOR VALUE: not set (can't change this one either, greyed out)

In this link, download all the files.
APN file
Lib file
Mms apk
Push the APN file to system/etc folder. Just replace the original file and set permissions.
Push the lib file to system/lib folder. Just replace the original file and set permissions.
Now take the mms apk and push it to system/private folder and place it in the mms folder. Just rename the original one with. bak at the end of the name. Set permissions. If you are not sure to what the permissions should be, pay attention to see what the permissions are for the file you are replacing. But I am pretty sure that all the permission settings should be as followed
RW-R--R--
Reboot. Now go back to the apn changer app and see if your apn is still there. Might be unchecked. Just tick it. Give it a few minutes and see if data starts up. If not, go to the apn manager app and scroll to the next screen to right. There will be a very long list of apn configurations of multiple carrier's. Scroll through and see if the APN2 LTE internet APN file you created is there. Should be in alphabetical order. Once you find it the vertical bar to the left of it should be green. If not, press or long press on it and you will see a heart at the top of the screen. Press it and it will save it as your preferred apn configuration. If LTE does not appear, just reboot, go back to apn changer and tick The apn that is now there and LTE will now be working. I have tried this method and shared this method with other members and it works. I am running darklord 2.2 now. Have been for a few days. Sorry There are no zips for this. If someone wants to make one, then by all means go for it.
Here is the frameworkres.apk that I modified for darklord 2.2 Push it and set permissions. It will display sprint instead of roaming indicator off. You might want to push it to the system folder first then set the permissions, then take it and push it and replace the original in the framework folder. Might put you in a boot loop if not done that way first. Thanks to @legalmoneygang for the winzip tip.

Must give thanks to @sac23 for being a silent teacher. I read everything that he has posted throughout all forums. He is the one that I learned about the lib file for mms. Plus I love every rom he puts out. I truly admire what he can do.
And thanks to the guys over in the international forum for the awesome darklord rom and the relentless work ethic they put forth. @nambavuong and @thereassaad and @filchi756.

These are my steps that I use, and I have flashed dang near every touchwiz rom for every note 3 variant. Once you get into the habit of this and have the needed files. This process only takes a few minutes.
Hope i have not left anything out of this lengthy so to say how to. Hope this helps. If it does, then awesome. Glad we could get it working. If it does not help. Sorry you couldn't get it to work.
Ill try your method on Sacs Ported V2 for now because when I flash DarkLord Rom I get the "no sim"
even after following OP. I cant even test your method because once it says "no sim" cant even
turn data on, says no sim, lol.
Ill report back with my results...thanks for the method though!!!
