I have a new what i was told is an unlocked atrix on the sasktel network. i can call and text but i can't save my apn settngs to get my internet working. the wifi works fine but not the network one. please help, my provider won't
What are your current APN settings? Go to Settings >Wireless & networks > Mobile Networks>Access Point Names
Neither will mine. Unlocked Bell Atrix on MTS.
I have no APNs listed, and they never show up once saved.
Not sure what other network settings are..but I'm unlocked on Telus and my apn settings are: sp.telus.com
When I first entered them I had so.telus.com and had phone and SMS but no mobile data until I realized my typo.

Hello buddy,
i had the same problem and the solution that i found is to set a new apn and just set the following choices
1. Name
2. Apn
3. port
All other choices left blank.
I did that and it works perfect.

Tried that.....i can enter all the settings that is fine. but as soon as i click the menu button to "save" it goes back to the main page and shows no APN settings saved
Are you rooted?
If yes try to change the /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/telephony.db add the apn in there
no i am not rooted i did not want to do that till i knew i got everything running.
I tried and tried to get the Bell Atrix to work.
APN Manager: no luck
Network Info II: no effect when settings changed either in OS or APN manager.
Whenever an APN was typed in, it would "save" (proven by APN Manager) but not be selectable, it just disappears once menu-save.
Returned it and purchased a Nexus S, took all of a minute to get data working.

Make a new apn change the first four choices and left the other unchanged(not blank)

i am rooted now. can you explain this method a little bit for me
i cant just change the first four because the MCC and the mnc are not registering i have to enter them manually. my provider says it is not reading them from the sim card for some reason. i rooted the phone now. i am going to try getting into it from there
The easiest way I found was download SQLite editor. Its a few dollars. Then open it and click yes for root. Go to dialer storage then telephony.DB. then carriers. Add your apn to the list. If eceything is correct it should work. If the phone does not read the mcc then you may be screwed though.

3) Open Root Explorer
4) Navigate to: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/
5) Click on "telephony.db"** (this should open the db using SQLite Editor)
6) Select "carriers"
7) You should see a long list of APN settings for various carriers, Push the menu key to bring up the menu. Then goto new record and fill out the details from there. Make sure that the _id is sequential from the other records.
8) Press back twice to close the SQLite editor and you should be back in Root Explorer. Close Root Explorer.
9) Disable Airplane Mode

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.
hi all few weeks ago i was looking for a way to surf the web on my eris and i had to take it to some one to set it up and he charged me $30 to put a shortcut on the home screen that say proxy settings but after the leaked 2.1 which unfortunately i installed on my eris instead of the rooted one i lost that shortcut so i did my researches and i found that if you download any cut from the market open it and go to New shortcut then Activity wait for the list to load scroll down to proxy settings open it and create a shortcut go bak to home screen and look for the proxy settings shortcut open it and for hostname use wap.metropcs.net and port 3128 click save restart and you be able to surf the web using the internet app
note:if you are connected to a wifi the internet app will not work in less you turn mobile network of and restart for that i have opera mini it will work on wifi but not on mobile so i use internet app for mobile and opera for wifi the rest of apps will work normal on wifi not on mobile only the mail app work normal on wifi and mobile use it to send and receive pix messages
also you must do the settings on ##7764726# and ##778# from @vzw3g.com to @mymetropcs.com for more information on that refer to these post http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1466303
Do not skip any steps!!!!!
This works...
WAP
1: Goto settings -> Connections -> Connections
2: Remove any connections that are there
3: Open your phone and enter ##778#, select "EDIT" and enter your unlock code.000000
4: Set the following values:
M.IP Settings:
MIP_MODE = Simple IP Only
M.IP Default Profile:
NAI = [email protected]
Home Address = 0.0.0.0 (just delete the values and save)
Primary HA Address = 0.0.0.0 (just delete the values and save)
Secondary HA Address = 0.0.0.0 (just delete the values and save)
Security:
HDR AN AUTH User Id = [email protected]

You'll need APN Backup & Restore (free from Market) to get your MMS working right. There's tutorials all over about what things need to be put in, but I just modify the 'Production' area in the xml file. Some people create/rename a whole area called 'metropcs'.
I've done this with Cricket. Good luck with Metro.

Is There a Way to Backup Your Metro Flash Settings?
I had my Eris flashed to Metro, but it wasn't syncing my contacts with Gmail correctly. People on these forums were saying that a hard reset would fix it. Tried that and of course all of my Metro Flash settings were wiped and my phone was reverted back to the original Verizon network. Is there a way to backup the Metro Flash settings or create some type of restore image, so I don't have to take it back to get reprogrammed every time I do a hard reset?
How do I know if I have all the APN setting correct?

Download APN Backup & Restore from the market.
Back Up your APN's.
Upload them here, so that other MetroPCS users can have MMS working properly.
You would be a hero.
Also, if you want to actually help people, you can do a nand backup, then turn your phone on and delete all of your contacts and information the best that you can, then do a nand backup again, and upload the second nand backup.
APN Backup & Restore is how you edit APN's. They're not REALLY APN's, they're just for MMS, on this phone.
##778 pw 000000 is how you edit most connection settings
iptables in the system is how you put EVERYthing through the proxy (need root)
and APN Backup (then edit it on a computer in a text editor) is how you can edit the APN's.
Make sure you DELETE before you RESTORE or it will just add on to the APNS already there.
here is the eris flash for metro/cricket enjoy...
www-megaupload-com/?d=PV7PQ9UI
change the dashes to dots..
Yes, get your custom ROM in there, and then flash the .zip (within this .zip) that is appropriate for MetroPCS.
It's all there, and it should work perfectly.

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.

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.
First off let me start by saying that you will need root access on your phone which will void your warranty. So if you care about your warranty stop reading now.
Secondly I'll tell you right now this is only confirmed to work on this model of phone(sch-i545) with build LRX22C.I545VRUOF1 on AT&T. You will only have H+/4G signal NO LTE. H+/4G seems to have virtually unnoticeable speed differences in my opinion. If this is a deal breaker stop reading now. If you wish to try this on other networks feel free and let me know if it works. Now on with the show.
Step 1.
Gain root access on your phone. If you need to know how please check out this link. This is the method I used to root mine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/root-of1-t3249971
Step 2.
Enable "hidden menu" feature on your phone.
To do this you will need to download Root Browser and superSU from the play store.
Once both are installed and set up use root browser(a window will pop up asking for you to grant it root access. Select yes or "grant") to access files.
Find and open file named efs. Inside that file open another called carrier.
Inside the carrier folder is a file called HiddenMenu
Open this file as a text Document using RB Text Editor
Once open it will say OFF. Change it to ON and then click save.
Next go back and find a folder called system.
Inside this folder scroll down and find a file called build.prop
Open this with RB Text Editor.
And the following text to the top of this page: sys.hiddenmenu.enable=1
Click save and close all apps and reboot phone.
Step 3.
Once phone has rebooted open your phone dialer and enter *#27663368378#
A service mode window will open up.
Click on LTE
Then click on PREF MODE Set
Then click on GSM_WCDMA_ONLY
Close and reboot phone.
Once your phone loads back up you should have H+/4G (depends on your area) and you should be able to send and receive text messages, make and receive calls.
You will need to set up an APN for AT&T if you didn't already after you rooted your phone. Settings for those can be found on AT&T'S website.
After you reboot a window will pop up asking you to chose a network. Click cancel.
Like I said in the beginning if you want to try this with other carriers feel free to let us know how it works for you. If you have any issues with this method or have questions feel free to ask. Good luck and I hope you are pleased with my method.
Thanks for the info there another way of doing this. Which does not involve coding. It requires rooting, and loading a custom rom. If you root your phone using your methods then use flash fire to down load stang5litre version of lolipop. Afterwards you can go to the play store and download advanced signal status app. You can use this to toggle between gsm and lte and other networks. select gsm and you will be able to text but you will not have 4g lte . I got it to allow my s4 to send texts on t mobile. at&t also uses gsm so it should work on at&ts network also.

I had that same problem but that was with samsung default rom and rooted. After rooting it i was able to load one of stang5litre's custom roms. THis allowed me to acess that portion using the signal status app. His custom rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/development/stang5litre-ediition-5-0-t3132555

Yeah I downloaded that one. Not sure why the app didn't work for me. How long ago did you do this method? Is it possible something has been updated since you did it?
I can get text messaging working now but have one other issue. I cannot change the default voicemail setting so that the phone doesn't try to dial *86.
I have two S4's, one on 4.3, and one on 5.0.1. On the 4.3 phone, I can edit the number the phone dials for voicemail no problem, and have full working voicemail with T-mo. But on the 5.0.1, I try to edit this, it allows me to change it, but after clicking OK to the prompt that the change was accepted, it goes back to *86.
The 5.0.1 phone also does not show any notification when a voicemail is left, the 4.3 phone does...
EDIT: HOLY CRAP NEVERMIND, changing the default network preference using your method also fixed the voicemail issue and now I can change the voicemail preference... WTF LOL... I've been working on this for HOURS trying to get this fixed. Why would changing the network type allow you to change the stupid voicemail setting??!

So you followed my method and everything worked for you? The dialer code for the hidden menu and everything?
I did all the steps and worked fine I'm using a Movistar carrier it's GSM I belive used the 2 bands speaking of LTE and got h+ working already but no signs of 4G so I belive need to test speed to see if I notice any diference
H+ is 4G bascially. I did a speed test on mine and it's right around the same speed. I'm glad to hear my method was helpful for someone. I hadn't received and confirmation from anyone that it worked.
Does anyone know how to get around the mms compression limitation? I can only send smaller mms files not larger on verizon phones through att network.

I thought I saw something in either the build prop file or the csc features file. I can take a look in a bit for you.
schultz915 said:
First off let me start by saying that you will need root access on your phone which will void your warranty. So if you care about your warranty stop reading now.
Secondly I'll tell you right now this is only confirmed to work on this model of phone(sch-i545) with build LRX22C.I545VRUOF1 on AT&T. You will only have H+/4G signal NO LTE. H+/4G seems to have virtually unnoticeable speed differences in my opinion. If this is a deal breaker stop reading now. If you wish to try this on other networks feel free and let me know if it works. Now on with the show.
Step 1.
Gain root access on your phone. If you need to know how please check out this link. This is the method I used to root mine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/root-of1-t3249971
Step 2.
Enable "hidden menu" feature on your phone.
To do this you will need to download Root Browser and superSU from the play store.
Once both are installed and set up use root browser(a window will pop up asking for you to grant it root access. Select yes or "grant") to access files.
Find and open file named efs. Inside that file open another called carrier.
Inside the carrier folder is a file called HiddenMenu
Open this file as a text Document using RB Text Editor
Once open it will say OFF. Change it to ON and then click save.
Next go back and find a folder called system.
Inside this folder scroll down and find a file called build.prop
Open this with RB Text Editor.
And the following text to the top of this page: sys.hiddenmenu.enable=1
Click save and close all apps and reboot phone.
Step 3.
Once phone has rebooted open your phone dialer and enter *#27663368378#
A service mode window will open up.
Click on LTE
Then click on PREF MODE Set
Then click on GSM_WCDMA_ONLY
Close and reboot phone.
Once your phone loads back up you should have H+/4G (depends on your area) and you should be able to send and receive text messages, make and receive calls.
You will need to set up an APN for AT&T if you didn't already after you rooted your phone. Settings for those can be found on AT&T'S website.
After you reboot a window will pop up asking you to chose a network. Click cancel.
Like I said in the beginning if you want to try this with other carriers feel free to let us know how it works for you. If you have any issues with this method or have questions feel free to ask. Good luck and I hope you are pleased with my method.

Alternatively, you can download and install "phoneinfo" by vndnguyen from the PlayStore. Since your phone is already rooted, you can use the "Secret Codes" menu to display all the secret codes and access the menu that was referenced from dialing *#27663368378#. (Just another way to display the hidden menu if you don't feel comfortable editing the system files.)
APN settings for Tracfone as of 4/22/2020
For those who love their SCH-I545s and don't feel like switching phones just because Verizon killed off their CDMA, you may (depending on coverage) be able to use the phone with TracFone /AT&T (AT&T-compatible SIM), until early 2022, when AT&T plans to kill their UMTS/HSPA. I have done this, and after working through the SNAFUs with TracFone, my SCH-I545 is fully working. Voice, Data, SMS, MMS are all there, just a little slower than 4G/LTE, but quite tolerable in my area. I have a Sony Experia XZ2 Compact, and it gets 4G/LTE (with same SIM/APN settings), but I am mothballing it and sticking with my SG4, for now.
*After* you put the AT&T SIM in (not sure if I activated it first), you can add a new APN with the following settings:
NAME: TRACFONE
APN: RESELLER
AUTH_TYPE: None
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS PROXY: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS PORT: 80
MMS_APN_TYPE: default,mms,supl
-------------------------------------------------
MVNO TYPE: GID
MVNO VALUE: deff
**Welcome to the Fox Den!**
This is a short guide for accessing the APN settings to edit, as well as enabling Native Hotspot while you're in there.
This method involves using Shortcut Master Lite to access the APN settings so that it can be edited to add needed settings without using ADB. The steps are as follows:
Step 1 - Download Shortcut Master Lite from the Play Store.
Step 2 - Open Shortcut Master Lite and select the Menu (three vertical dots in the upper right).
Step 3 - Select App Explorer, and then All Apps
Step 4 – Navigate (scroll down) to com.test.LTEfunctionality and select.
Step 5 – Select the first item labled "LTEFunctionalityTest" and select launch.
Step 6 – Scroll down to LTE APN Setting and select.
Step 7 – Select the APN setting to edit or select add to add your own.
Step 8 – After editing or adding APN settings, select menu and save your settings.
Congratulations, you have successfully edited and saved your APN settings.
Enable Native HotspotStep 10 –Select APN2 LTE internet (Sprint) or your carrier internet APN.
Step 11 - Scroll down to APN type and select.
Step 12 - Add "DUN" to the setting (it should read "default,mms,DUN") without quotations.
Step 13 - Select Menu and save your settings
Congratulations, your device now has Native Hotspot without having to toggle data!
*I have tested this on Unlocked and Carrier version on Sprint as well as my wife's Sprint S8+. Survives reboot and updates (latest one anyways).
Update : must reapply if you update prl or profile!
Disable automatic updates so that profile updates does not remove!
Please let me know if you have to add anything specifically for other carriers and I will update this post.*
And as always, I cannot be held liable for the damage or malfunction of your device using these files,
you proceed at your own risk and remove my liability by continuing to the downloads portion of this post!

Can't you just set up a new APN set in settings?

It is greyed out for many...editing the actual settings, for hotspot, prevent having to toggle data on and off...for one example....no need for adb as well....
Does anyone know if this also works for Bluetooth tether?
Similar question since you figured this out. Is there a way to modify the APN2 in a roundabout way like this that bypasses the proxy servers for carriers like sprint since modifying the APN2 directly is out of the question since much is grayed out.

I'm sorry I mean when I go to the ##3282## menu to get rid of the proxy is not under the APN's. It is under "Data Profile" which when you click on it is all greyed out and can't be modified. That is what I need to be able to edit to bypass proxys and prevent sprint from throttling.
Wondering if there is a shortcut to get to that as well to be able the modfiy those settings.
Edit: sorry that is not where I need to edit. I need to find a Multimedia menu option in the DATA menu which for the Note 8 there isn't one listed. I then need to modify RTST Proxy, HTTPPD Proxy to all 0.0.0.0's
Anyone know where that option or a shortcut to that option is?

I looked in the ims settings and in other settings and could not find it yet...can you edit after getting your MSL # from Sprint
Wow this was easier than adb bypass
Does this works for the TMobile version?

I am completely new to this process. What should I be editing or adding to the apn?? Edit or add what exactly?

Step 12 in OP
Tried to do same for note 5 but can't find the LTE test string
This doesn't seem to work for the Verizon version. When I click on the launch button for the "LTE APN Setting", nothing happens.
Any idea how to get past this?

Sorry, I don't have access to a Verizon phone...you might find a test feature in the settings...
did you try the adb method? That method works but you have to disable the Verizon hotspot app and toggle the data on a and off when using the hotspot...
Alternatively you can try ##3282# and select edit and then enter your MSL # (can get it from your carrier)...

##3282# does nothing on my verizon phone, it doesn't open a hidden menu. I will play with some of the other menus see if I can't get in.
I have tried using the Disabler method to disable the apps, that doesn't seem to work. I followed the instructions for ADB but when I turn of mobile data it just complains it doesn't turn on the Hotspot.
I have tried the "Bad wi-fi" password method which also doesn't work because when I enable my hotspot it immediately disables my Wi-Fi before I can disable it manually.
I have tried leaving mobile data on, turning on the hotspot and before I can turn mobile data off, the app is already complaining about my lack of a subscription.
It seems to me like Verizon is serious LOL!
Thank you OP.
Works for me.

No VPN...carriers can't tell the different between shared data and host data...it is just data...
If unlocked is flashed with carrier Firmware it is as if it were carrier phone...even OTA updates come from Sprint...
Dude! Amazing! Thank you soooo much!
