How to modify the default APN file in ICS 4.0 - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Anybody know where S3 keeps the default APN settings?
I would like to modify it if it is something kept in the phone. My manually added APN got removed and everything set back to my carrier default APNs after the phone reboots.
Thanks!

Have you tried apn backup and restore from the market? May not have your default apn, but it let's you save a "custom" apn and restore it later.

I tried that, but it did not work. I even converted it a system app. It can save a copy of the default APN, but it actually won't even backup my APN.

Any apps or ways to save phone settings?

Is there any thing that can save all the settings on my phone (mms, apn, gmail/facebook/twitter account logins etc) so i dont have to type these in constantly over and over everytime i update a rom? Like basically backup the user preferences so that i can just load them back onto the new rom?
That would be awesome! I second that...

[Q] APN settings backup?

Is there a way, possibly using Titanoim Backup, to backup and restore the APN settings?
I change ROMS a lot, and notice that retyping the APN settings is the worst part.
not sure about titanium but you can with an app called APN Backup and Restore. For Jelly Bean roms you must however convert the app to a system app before restoring and the Press the menu button (in app) and press 'Disable ICS Check'. Try read the app info/description in the Playstore for more info.
After restoring I find I always need to restart my phone then all works fine.

[Q] 3vo on metro

I have a evo 3d rooted on metro pcs wit everything working except mms. I have tried the oakieville thread (both flashable and do it yourself zips) and have tried messing wit the apn settings a lot. Nothing seems to work. Is there a sure way of getting the mms working? If so can I get some help plz? Thanks in advance
There are a couple ideas. You could download go SMS pro and manually put the APN settings in MMS settings to work. Or you could try the APN backup and restore method. This method only works for ICS and below. Download APN back and restore app from Google play. Convert the app into a system app with titanium backup. Reboot your phone. Go into APN backup and check disable ICS check. Next click APN backup which will create a folder sdcard/apnbackup . Next you want to move your metro APN file into that folder. Next hit delete apns. Go to restore APN and choose the metro APN you put in there and hit restore. Reboot your phone. It should work.

ICS APN Changes WITHOUT APN Backup & Restore and Titanium Backup?

Dear Friends,
Quick question here:
How can I change or add my MMS settings or get an APN going for the EVO LTE? I know the common solution is APN Backup and Restore, but for me it is not working, DESPITE the System App change using Titanium Backup. I successfully converted it to a System App, but APN Backup and Restore still cannot change the APN I want, due to permissions on ICS.
What can I do here? Especially since in the EVO, there is no APN menu either, in the Mobile Networks settings?
Thanks for all your help!

which app to backup the APN / WIFI / accounts

Hi,
I'm using titanium backup each time I restore or flash with a new ROM but I have not find an easy way to restore only the :
APN preferences (Internet access / MMS)
Saved Wireless network
Different accounts
For the accounts & wireless I've found them in titanium backup, but unfortunately not for the APN settings (and I have to enter them manuallly each time...)
I've seen that google keeps a backup of our phone... hmmm... are all these settings stored? if yes how to restore them?
Install APN Backup and Restore Then convert it to a system app in TB. More details on the play store.
