As the title described. But there's a strange thing: when I go to APN settings and do something then back, the connection starts to work.
Sammy ROMs don't have this issue.
Well...I'm not a custom ROM guy, but if I were you I would either write down the APN settings while on stock and then configure it on custom or call my carrier and ask for the settings.
But that's just me.

Don't know why but just back from MIUI (used GS2ROMNuke script) and data works fine now.

Now that it works I would make a backup of the efs file and copy down your apn settings, just in case

Hey guys, could not really find what I was looking for
After you are running a rom, and obviously need to get mms working, what is the proper steps to running a apn fix? I see in the aloysius post someone posted the apn from Ivans, and was curious how to run it on the rom already in progress?
Thanks
There's a program called "apn backup and restore" that will let you restore the correct apn file.
Just download the apn file from that thread to your sd card, install that app, and restore the correct file.

This update was intended for my ZenEXP-Eris build, but it should work on most, if not all ROMs here as well.
Do a nandroid backup before installing in case it doesn't work, then flash through recovery: LINK
thanks guys..works great!
I have been using this app for a while now and never had an issue restoring after a restore. I am using the Fresh 2.1.1 Rom and flashed Ivan's 1.0 Rom and sucessfuly backed up the apn when I restored and try to restore the Apn I keept getting an error code 8 can't write to a read only database. I haven't done anything different from the norm. Anyone have an idea or know who I should be contacting?

Are you not able to send or receive mms messages? I am also running fresh 2.1.1 and I thought I could send/receive them.
I can send but I don't get them Either I was trying to do the APN flash to fix it. Our Rom isn't verizon based so the network acts funny on text messages. The work around was to flash Ivan's rom after you make a nandroid backup of your Fresh Rom install then dl APN Backup & Restore and then back up the APN of Ivan's rom to the SD card. And then restore the Fresh 2.1.1 and dl the APN app again but restore the .xml from the SD card to fix the mode of connection to start recieving mms/sms and voicemail alerts.If you hadn't changed the prl if it would help you this is the time to do it,Download the Alltel_Verizon Hybrid.prl file,enter ##778 in the dialer hold call for a few seconds let go then choose edit mode and for password 6 zeros. Select prl, then update prl, the keyboard shows up first but just hit the back button onec and you will see the prl you downloaded to the root of the SD card and then choose and say ok, then hit menu and commit changes. After a short bit a message stating the phone needs to reboot and vola! you have add your phone to the extra Alltel towers in your area. AFTER DOING THIS DO NOT *228 and let the automated PRL service run, this will remove the Alltel Hybrid PRL and you will have to redo the Ivan flash method. Most roms are not developed with the epsk.apk(think thats the name) which is invoked with the ##778 send.This is optional because for some it is a hit or miss of a fix. For some it clears up areas that they may have not gotten signal and reduces it in already covered areas.
Realize this is a long answer to your simple question but just wanted to clear up for others that may not know.

So, I am running the latest version of the Evil Eris rom and I am having issues downloading MMS pictures. I keep getting that download error or what not. I did the step listed here(twice), but that did not work for me. Is there anything else I could possibly do fix this issue?
Have you tried using "APN Backup & Restore"? You would:
1. Load a ROM where MMS works.
2. Download and install "APN Backup & Restore"
3. Use the app to perform an APN backup.
4. Reload the ROM you want to get MMS working on.
5. Download and install "APN Backup & Restore"
6. Use the app to delete the APNs on that ROM.
7. Use the app to restore the APN backup made in step #3
8. Reboot.
I haven't personally done this and so I can't vouch for it's effectiveness, but I have seen that a number of folks have done this to successfully rectify MMS issues.
I dunno that seem like a bit of a chore to do, I was hoping for something a bit more simplified.

Ain't going to get any simpler than that. You can always switch to another rom
Alyosius works well, as does plainjane...

Oh, I guess I am out of luck at the moment then.
Use xtrSense 4.0.6.1.
Just as many sweet features as EvilEris, more stable, and other than pinch-zoom Google Maps and the sweet copy/paste Browser, it's better than EvilEris, IMO.
The rom you are suggestion doesn't have the same cut and paste as the current rom I am using? One thing I like about my current rom is color scheme.

there is a working apn floating around here if u use the search button ,, find that , download apn backup/restore ,, put that apn in the apn folder that is created on ur sd card , open app , delete old apn , restore backup apn ,, done
Recently I had issues were my APNs were cleared out after flashing a ROM. So I thought I would re flash a stock sbf and backup my APN list with APN Manager and share them. This came from a US AT&T Atrix running the latest OTA sbf.
NOTE: I take no responsibility for any damage this may cause. This is a fresh backup from a fresh flash of this sbf http://goo.gl/hfkXH so everything should work fine.
Instructions:
Install APN Manager from the market
http://goo.gl/v8JWn
Unzip the attachment to your INTERNAL SD Card keeping it in a folder named "APNManager" ie: "internal sd card root/APNManager/ApnBackup.xml"
Use APN Manager to restore APN list

Important step: tap APN and enter exactly : phone
That's it! It's literally just "phone", not kidding. Leave everything else blank including Username and Password!
Scroll down to APN Type, Select Internet only
Hit the Menu Key, and hit SAVE
Your will return to APN settings, go to the APN you just created called AT&T HSPA+, tap the dot next to the APN and make sure it turns green! "

Thanks! Works great! (ATT)
Saved me. THANKS!!!
Looking App manager
I bought App Manager Pro, but every time I attempt to do anything with it, it shuts down. I need to know of another app that will do the same thing, or find how the rest of these guys get it to work.
more usa carriers please?
any chance of you adding more us carriers to this backup?-simple mobile h2o lycamobile red pocket straight talk net10 spotmobile etc. cannot find a bigger list anywhere on the web-as a matter of fact it is ONLY this list copied over and over again across the web -thanks

Why does every new android release have to take away freedom and feel less and less 'open'?
In any case, I just flashed the experimental CM9 and I was greeted with an inability to restore my APNs from my usual app (APN Backup & Restore from Ritesh Sahu) because apps are no longer allowed to modify APN files on 4.0.
I would like to know what the simplest way to backup and restore my APNs is in this situation. Is there some simple way to create a flashable ZIP or something similar to restore them with?
I usually don't backup and restore my APNs just hit reset to default and they are restored ....... i believe you've tried that if not give it a shot
Yeah I've tried that, I need to backup and restore because I'm on a relatively small Canadian carrier (sasktel).

If you have a Nandroid backup you could restore that, then write down your APN and save it some where.

Exactly Aaron. Why people don't write these things down before they go messing around with things is beyond me

Well I have only one APN in the settings and I did copy it, works fine and gets data. But when I back up using that app it says it backs up 2000 something APNs and my carrier on my phone actually shows up upon restore, unlike now when it's just 6 digits.

I would also like to restore my APN's instead of always typing them in when changing Roms.
How can I create a script, overwrite a sys-file or elselike to prevent me from reytyping apn's, when they aren't implemtented in let's say a custom rom ?
me too any ideas please
Correct CSC for your network is all that should be required .
Copy and paste to new custom roms .

You can use HiApn on market to restore your apn that you backed up from another rom.
However for it to work on ICS you need to make it a system app. You can do so in TiBu options.
Works for me no problem.
The app can also set some automatic ones based on your carrier which worked for me but looked a little different than the ones on my other phones.

A simple App to backup and restore APNs (Settings to connect to the internet with the mobile connection). The backup is stored in the /sdcard/APNBackupRestore folder.
NOTE: Starting with Android 4.0/ICS, 3rd Party apps don't have access to write APN settings, hence this app no longer works for restoring APN backups. Some users have reported that it can be used on ICS if its set to run as a System app (using Titanium for example)

hey there
im kind of new to kernels and roms.
a few months ago i flashed a new kernel and lite 'ning on my phone.
and like 3 weeks ago i wanted something new. i flashed a new kernel with odin.
What i was wondering if i flash a new kernel using odin will it delete the older kernel or will it kind of **** up the kernel? is there some kind of process you need to do before flashing another kernel?
Then i flashed Sensation ROM witch gave me some problems. somewhile along the day i lose my connection ''No Service -selected network (...) not available''
I am wondering if this is a problem with the ROM or with the Kernel.
Also mabey a solution without losing contacts, apps, messages?
Thanks Alot!!!
Search, search, search!!!
More info would be useful too...
You can flash a new kernel via Odin without FUBAR. But most kernels can be flashed via ClockworkMod (CWM) -they're .zip files.
CWM is your backup friend and absolutely essential - you thus won't lose contacts etc.
Search, search, search....
Odin will replace the old kernel, same thing applies when you flash through CWM, just make sure to wipe cache and dalvik.
You should use a backup app like titanium backup for your apps.
Regarding data, try manually entering the APN settings through settings. Settings - Wireless and network - Mobile Networks - Access point Names. Just google the apn settings of your carrier.

Or try the Lazy Bastard Option, like me - APN Backup & Restore app from the market.
Does what it says.
Pleases read me.
Flashing something replaces the old stuff, flashing a kernel will replace the current kernel.
Also that sounds like it might be a rom problem. Maybe try a different rom, or do a full wipe.
Backup your EFS with ktool before you flash anything else. All you need is root.
