Hello,
I have Koodo Mobile which is a sub brand of Telus. From using the Telus stock ROM, the Canadian Custom ICS ROM and others, only the first two ROMS mentioned allow me to connect via LTE, the rest only connect as high as HSPA+.
I'd prefer to stay rooted and use the Canadian Custom ICS rom, but there's one problem. I save the Koodo SP Access Point Name and it works fine, until I reboot and then it disappears. I've tried this several times and on a few reboots, I went straight to the APN settings and I watched as the Koodo SP APN showed up for a few seconds, then got deleted, possibly by some process???
So I started looking for APN files on my Android that I could edit to have the Telus APN changed to the Koodo APN info or create another APN (Koodo SP) that will stay listed after a reboot.
I found an APN file in /etc but after editing it, saving and rebooting, it didn't change anything.
Can someone please help! It's a pain having to reenter the APN every time I want to use data after a reboot.

I have recently rooted my phone, and installed the devoid.franco v5 rom on my phone....I get no data connection. When I go into the about phone, status, and look under mobile network state, it says disconnected. I am with Koodoo and had data access before I started flashing roms on the phone. I have been through a couple of different ones, all with the same results. What am I missing? Did I do something wrong? Everything else looks ok. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Well the original rom must have been customized for your region and hence had all the APNs and you could access internet without problems.
Now devoid is based on some other region's rom and hence might not have the APN for your operator. You will need to setup your APN manually. Check with your operator for settings.
Another method is to flash back to the original rom. Note down the APN settings and use them on devoid.
Hope it helps.
Happened to me too, manually entering the APN settings did the trick!
Thanks....makes sense. Working on finding the right entries...being at work makes it difficult sometimes.
Edit: Of course finding the right values to put in is another story....geez!!!
Got it!!! Thanks for the direction.
I went through and read everything in the Super Thread - twice.
I went through and flashed the stock Rogers ICS 4.0.4 rom to the phone and then rooted it by flashing the cwm kernal in the instructions. My phone is successfully rooted and it is not reverting to the stock android recovery.
I went through and disabled all the Rogers bloatware and restarted the phone and now it isn't enabling itself automatically. Score one for patience and good advice.
I use Petro Canada Mobility pay as you go. They are a reseller of Rogers and the price is right until my ISP launches their wireless service.
I went through and set the phone so that is uses gsm/wcdma bands only - no LTE as it isn't available in my province as of yet. I set up Petro Canada's APN settings and save. I restart the phone and the phone automatically defaults back to Rogers APN settings. The APN that I created is gone - *poof* I can't count how many times in the last 24 hours I have reset this phone
What the heck am I missing here cause I can't figure it out. Why won't it save my APN settings? I got the rest of the kinks worked out and now this??
Do the Bell and Telus versions of this phone have the same quirks cause if they don't, I'll gladly flash their roms.
Help please!
I would leave the network to auto.
When you make an APN and save it, then select it, it disappears?
Can you edit the default Rogers APN?
Is your phone carrier unlocked?

When I make an APN and and save it, it is fine until I restart the phone. The minute I restart the APN disappears. I can edit the Rogers APN and save the changes. When I restart, it reverts to it's default settings. It is not carrier unlocked. Because my mobility carrier is a reseller of Rogers, my sim card works with it. There was no need to unlock it.
It seems like you need to unlock it, because you can't use any other carrier's APN, you're locked on Rogers.
Have you rooted it? Since that is the cheaper route, maybe being rooted will let you permanently create the correct APN.
Yes I have it rooted. Still the same issue.
Run a good nandroid backup ....
Then enter the new APN into the device ....
Then delete the old APN , then reboot ...
If the new APN sticks, then run a new backup and delete the old one ...
These devices can be temperamental on occasion ....g
Edit :
And yes ...you may be locked at this point, and stuck on Rogers ...g
I went through and unlocked the phone, stuck in a Bell Sim card and it recognized it right away. I went through completely reset the phone again, entered in my APN settings, and restarted. The settings disappeared. I am told that the Bell, Rogers, and Telus variants are all the same so I am going to flash one of their roms on the phone to see if I have better luck.
Well I flashed a different rom - Bell and that fixed the issue. It was the stock rogers rom that was causing me grief.
So my next question is this - anyone have any ideas on what Rom is better? The Telus or the Bell one?
I have found no threads with this exact problem. I am new to smart phones, I bought an unlocked S2 gt-I9100, I checked to make sure it read my sim card before buying..it did..but didn't realize the data wasn't working. So I've searched high and low and now I'm here. When you go to APN and open it all it has at the top is APN, you can't access anything. I tried various programs to achieve this but they all say "your android phone does not allow automatic APN setup" So I try to manually do it and it pops the APN page up and you can't do anythng but the program is in the notification thing at the top thinking it is working I guess. Not syre what info on the phone you need.
Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100
Execulink - I guess was the phone company in Canada
Version 4.0.3
Build number ULTIMOBILE-SGS2-4.0.3-EXE-071212-2.1
If you need anything else let me know, Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

If you want to set up APN manually, go to
Setting>more setting>mobile network>access point name>
then press menu and choose new apn.
you need to ask your service provider to fill up APN, MCC, MNC etc;
and then, press menu and save apn.

I have tried that, I have all the info as far as APN,MCC,MNC ect. from my other phone.
When I go into Apn there is no menu. All you have is at the top Is a gear looking thing and APNs, thats it. It will not open to allow any changes or add a new APN.
Did you tried a custom ROM?

Not sure what you mean by custom ROM, I have tried multiple apps that say you can set up an APN the latest one I tried was giffgaff APN.
They all failed to open it so I can edit and they all state "your android phone does not allow automatic APN setup"

Ok I see what you mean by ROM, No I haven't tried any custom ROM's
No Warranty bought it used and unlocked.
Is there a custom ROM that can fix this?
OK, solved it, As I said I tried apps to no success unlocking the APN to edit, So you mentioned custom ROM's and I did some research.
So first I rooted my phone then added theGT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_4.0.1.4.tar then flashed the newest version of the Rootbox Jelly Bean ROM to my phone and fired it up and The APN was not only unlocked it was already set up to my provider and the data was working.
I tried adding the truth77supergapps-4.2-jb for the apps but it would crash as the phone started.
Thanks a bunch for the help I'm not sure how to change the title of the thread to solved though.
I tried multiple Gapps created by different people and all crashed at start up. So went looking and found lots of people having issues with, Trebuchet not responding, so I looked for a rom that didn't use it.
So I found this Avatar ROM 4.1.2 Jelly Bean ROM For Galaxy S2 I9100 and Flashed it on my phone and flashed gapps-jb-20121011-signed, to get my google apps and it went perfectly into the phone so now I have data and my google apps.
hey on my galaxy s3 i9300 Australian version. im with optus and was wondering if any 1 new how to fix the no data connection issue. i looked it up and people say its to do with the apn. so i have reset apn to default and it helped but now its back to no data. i reinstalled the stock firmware for it and it went good again for a lil bit but now the data is back to not working. the problem seems to be appearing on a few forums but i havent found a fix. my wifi and calling and texting works fine.
Contact your network provider, if you have the latest stock rom and modem installed for your country then only the apn settings need to be checked. You might possibly need a new SIM, but it's more likely to be the apn settings are wrong.
.....Also note if you have been Rom swapping make sure you keep Australian modem version as they are optimized for your frequencies, you should find them in the modem thread
so i have the sunria 1526 cdma variant it was originally a textnow device i got tired of textnows bs and put a custom rom (aospe) on my phone i am able to make phone calls off my ting sim card now thanks to eian at ting but i have no cellular data i have already flashed the lte modem sip found on the rhinonized page but still no data. any advice?
Remove any existing APN settings on the phone, call your carrier, get the APN settings and update the APN settings manually on the device, should work assuming they work on the same bands. Also try removing the MMS proxy port if there is one set.
