Hi all. I recently got an Galaxy S2 (SGH-I777) and am using it on Straight Talk (with their AT&T SIM card). I've been testing out a few different ROMs to see which one I like the best. I've tried older GB ROMs like UnNamed and newer ICS ROMs like SHOStock2 and MIUI v4...and they've all worked fine so far. Last night, I wanted to try out AOKP. At the time, Build 4.21.2012 was the latest...I see there's now a Build 34 but I won't be able to try that until after work.
Anyway, I went to Settings > More... > Mobile networks > Access Point Names to add a new APN for Straight Talk service. Usually there's a couple default APNs already there, but my list was blank so I didn't have to delete anything. I then went to Menu > New APN, added the info, and finally hit Menu > Save. However, nothing was added to the list so I can't select an APN afterward. I tried multiple times but the list always stays empty. I tried reflashing the ROM but that didn't make any difference either.
AOKP is the only ROM I'm experiencing this on. I went back and flashed SHOStock2 and could add a new APN without any problems. Whenever I flash a new ROM, I always do...Reset data, Wipe cache, Wipe dalvik cache, and Format /system first.
If anyone has any suggestions, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Try flashing a new modem first--I've never had this problem with AOKP.
I change my apns everytime a flash aokp.

I'll give that a try later. Since this is AOKP, do I have to use one of the Modems For CM7&9/MIUI ROMs from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1336958

This is my first time ever flashing AOKP, so I assumed I would have to anyway because I reset the data. I tried to add a new APN, but after I save it the list is blank. Since the list is always blank, I can't ever select an APN...its weird.
Do you know where the APN info is stored? I'm curious if it's just like an .xml file that I could then modify using root explorer or something.

question task...i'm starting to get into apn's...why do you change it after you flash a aokp?
I finally got this working....looks like all I had to do was reboot.
So I flashed Build 34 and had the same problem...every time I try to add an APN, nothing shows up in the list. I tried it about 5 times but nothing worked. I rebooted...I meant to go into recovery but accidentally did just a normal reboot. After it loaded up, I checked the APN settings...and sure enough all 5 APNs I added showed up as well as the default AT&T APN.
I'm not sure what happened, but all is working well now.

The fact that this thread had to be started in the first place is beyond me. I had the same problem OP had, when the rom booted up I had no data connection. No apns listed in apn list. But before posting a question about it or jumping to a conclusion, I rebooted. And of course it worked. Because this forum isnt about hand holding, although we do help each other out and have a great fun time. But in the end, we should all be trying to fix as many of our own problems as we can. Give a man a fish and he eats for a day.....teach him to fish.....anyway point is we need to get our own hands dirty peeplz. Don't rely solely on these awesome devs and mods to givez u magic. Go make the magic.

I've had this issue before, after flashing ROMs I could not get the APN's.
What I did was Manually select the Network then select the Carrier.
After that I would reboot the phone and walla it works
Thank you for replying hing98, but I did what you said and it didn't work!
I've installed the latest CM9 and it didn't work neither ... im desperate now

Reboot 2-3 times it should definitely show up now.
I rebooted my phone like hundred times.
I've just flash Lite'ning rom thru odin, I seemed to work (I saved an APN) but I didn't have internet so I modified my MNC in the APN pressed save and then the APN disappeared
Pull battery...
Pull battery and your APN should be restored. With Hydrog3n ICS, I'd never get signal or data when flashing but after pulling battery and removing and replacing the SIM, I get coverage back.
Download an app call hiapn from play.
Might need to use TB to make it a system app.
It can automatically set your apns based on your sim.
It works 100% for me.

I have different behavior on different ROMs. Sometimes phone needs to be rebooted to restore APNs. Sometimes it is simply needed to wait for a while.
I have installed ROM in the evening and after hours of tries I simply went to sleep completely disappointed. In the morning internet was online

I rebooted my phone several times, I installed Dragon ICS ROM last night and I let it rest all night... no APNs yet .
Is your phone working, i.e. carrier is detected and voice services are working?
WINNER!

I know, this is probably stupid question, but is your mobile data enabled? I am asking because I noticed that ROM behaves exactly as you wrote here. When mobile data toggle is off and you edit some APN, edited APN disappears…

Yes mobile data is enabled actually it doesn't matter if it's enabled or disabled, always delete the APN when I attempt to modify and save it.
Is it working with samsung stock rom? Have you used some kernel cleaning scripts?

DragonICS-25-05-2012-SGS2 Kernel: 3.0.32-FLUXI-XXetc...
But I have also tried: litening ROM, CM9, MIUI, Resurection Remix, Omega...etc..and even tried CM7 just to verify if it was ICS related issue.
But was the Internet working on original Samsung ROM?
I am asking this because when I first time tested Fluxi kernel, I lost WiFi functionality because of kernel cleaning script I have used. I had to return back to Samsung ROM, root again and install AOKP ROM to fix it.
Sometimes are these issues related to kernel cleaning or another possibility is, that you did not wipe phone correctly between different ROMs.
I would recommend to return back to original Samsung ROM (using Odin) and then to root and instal AOKP ROM exactly according to instructions.

I have unlocked my AT&T Galaxy Note by requesting the SIM unlock code from AT&T. I then put in a non-AT&T card (T-Mobile), rebooted the phone and was asked for the network unlock code. I entered the code and it was successful. The T-Mobile SIM card works.
I then went to the APN settings to edit the APN and there was only one, the original one from AT&T (shown as ATT PTA). Strangely, this APN CANNOT be edited OR DELETED. Even when I create a new one and select that new APN, the phone always revert back to the original APN.
My understanding is that once the phone is unlocked, the original APN can be edited OR deleted and I can use another APN (T-mobile, etc.). Can somebody help?
Thanks!
Unlocking the phone does not unlock software areas that att has locked down. Good news is that you can add your own apn in that screen.
On the APN setting screen, press the menu button, then "new apn". Type all of your settings, then hit menu and save. Now you can select your new apn on the APN screen.
You don't have to worry about the pta apn from att. If it's not selected, it's not doing anything.

Thanks for the explanation! As long as I can use the phone in NON-AT&T network, I am happy.
To eliminate that APN you will have to flash a custom rom. You can be stock and custom.

He wants to run on T- mobile, would this be his problem, doesn't he need a different modem flashed like for example.. the Blaze modem to run T-mob?

Up until about a month ago that was correct, but t-mobile is migrating to the same bands as at&t so test the connection first.
Just using the stock LF6 modem and the t-mobile APN and live with that for a day or two to see if you are in an area that has been migrated.
If you never see H+ or 4G icons you will have to flash the Blaze modem.
Just a quick update:
The original APN cannot be edited, so I created a new APN and select that. When I press the "back" button and go back to the list of APN, the phone AUTOMATICALLY selected the original APN, not mine.
I selected that again, press back button and waited for 5 minutes (in case the phone trying to update whatever it needs with the new APN). Went back to the list of APN and the original APN was selected again! (???).
Did you save the APN you created?

I did, that's why I was able to select the radio button from the list. So the list shows 2 APN, BUT as soon as I exit, the default APN was reselected.
In this case, a custom rom is needed for APN changes to stick.
I suggest you look in the super thread (top of the general section)
In the stock roms category you'll see a stock (rooted) version of the rom you need.
You can flash this build which allows APN editing and deletion.
Visually the rom is identical to stock, but sets the system permissions via root access to allow those changes.
Once the modification is complete, you can simply reset your counter and unroot to keep a stock device condition.
The beauty of this device is it's simplicity in root/unroot technique...g
Ranger gets the credit for the rom change advice.....I'm just mentioning it again ...g
Thanks for the information all, really helpful!
I flashed a custom ROM just for testing (CWR backup of course) and indeed I was able to change the APN and it sticks! Definitely have to do with my original stock ICS, even though I rooted it.
You can be mostly stock - - that's what I prefer. But our generous developers take the stock rom and tweak it so we can enjoy modifying our phones and be mostly stock. I'm using the Novena rom.
hiya guys,
I've been having a lot of problems the past couple days..
I ordered my note 3 straight from Sprint. When I got it, I flashed custom recovery and flashed Freezas stockish ROM. The phone came loaded with NAB so I installed the
NAB version of the ROM, well there was some missing menus in settings, like tethering and such.. So I flashed stock nc5 and flashed his engineering boot loader. Ugraded my firmware to nc5. Flashed the nc5 version of the ROM and still the same settings.. No WiFi calling in settings, no tethering options at all.. I got curious and decided to flash KitKatkiller to see if it had the same problems, it was the same thing in the settings in kitkatkiller except it showed the ROM manager and stuff that was added into the ROM. But was missing tethering.. I hit WiFi hotspot in the toggle like I did on freezas ROM and it said hotspot not supported..
But josh's ROM is deodexed with that mod included.
What is going on?
Try this

Similar things have happened for me, I've found that un-rooting doing a factory reset back to stock OEM rom then rooting again and flashing your preferred custom rom fixes things.
Hope this helps,

I'll try that. Out of curiosity I opened a phone up at work to see if it had tethering on stock and the note 3 I opened had the same settings my note 3 has.. So I dont know what the problem is.. I wonder if those settings dont show up unless the phone is activated on the network.

Hi guys I know your problem.
Csc stuff needs stock recovery to be proberly applied in my experience. I can factory reset phone to different csc (XAS for example) and have sprint hotspot and usb tethering options removed from menu.
Set csc to SPR and power off phone. Power back on to stock recovery and you should see something along the lines of "applying csc SPR"
If menus have not been added at this point factory reset may be in order with correct csc applied.
Once you have these menus added in THEN odin the custom recovery you want.
Good luck!

Thanks for reply Idone
I used galaxytool.apk it shows XAS
Actually it(SM-N900P) is flashed to Reliance CDMA here in india to use it with RCDMA RUIM
Device is Stock, as it can be seen in status.
Someone told me that it is not activated on Sprint so no boot logo of sprint & no tethering & Hotspot option without activation on sprint,
My device's rom is NC5 Stock Rooted
I m new to all this, so pls suggest me step by step guide to get hotspot option.

If your phone is flashed to another carrier and you didn't do it yourself you probably just want to leave it how it is.
XAS wont display sprint boot and power down animations. The phone comes with 4 different ones. sprint, samsung, boost, and virgin that can all be set. XAS gives you the samsung one.(like debranded phone)
But yea unless you know the process to setup the phone for reliance or have someone who can do it again for you I would advise to leave it alone.
But if you are brave take an nv backup in dfs or qpst's software download (even better would be to dd these partitions [mmcblk0p12 13 &18]) and only then take the steps I mentioned previously with the stock recovery. Alternately get a nandroid from someone on the same software version. You will probably want to have sprintdm.apk removed to be safe. Either way take nv backup before moving forward especially if you don't know how to flash a phone to reliance.
**edit**
Go into apn's and write down your settings for them. and BE ADVISED the "enable hotspot" in my app is for phones on Sprint only!
Once you get the menu items added we (should hopefully) be able to enable them.

I have rebboted in stock recovery right now.
Pressed powe+volume up+home button
Get into stock recovery
Pressed power button to reboot....
But no luck....
Should i have to change CSC again through galaxytool.apk/Preconfigure/SPR/INSTALL?
It's now showing SPR as i can see in preconfigure.

Hi,
I recently changed my ROM from Cyanogenmod (some of the last nightlies; so Android 5.1.1) to a custom rom called "existenz".
After successfully flashing the 6.3.5 Premium Update to my phone, the mobile data stopped working correctly.
Whenever I try to enable mobile data in my settings, the trigger simply goes back to disabled.
Reason for ROM change: I didnt want to use nightlies anymore and this ROM seemed perfect for my phone.
I tried several restarts, but nothing changed.
I flashed the ROM with TWRP.
Thanks in advance,
Pascal
(If nothings helping, whats your custom ROM you could suggest me?)
I flashed the latest nightly of cyanogenmod again. Mobile data is working now. Guess I'm never leaving cyanogenmod.

Are u sure u enabled ur APN settings from settings/more/internet settings?
For ur information only CM roms will enable Internet Apn automatically after flashing rom. Sony custom roms did not enable Internet APN automatically. We need to set it by ourself or u can install internet APN from settings/more/internet settings
@Rajeev
Good point. I read something about "allow only IPv4" - so I changed that - rebootet my phone but still nothing.
I cant remember tho about anything saying its disabled. Might give it a second try then, havent fully configurated my phone yet.
Thanks.
