Hi to all, I recently bought a Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt(rebranded Ainol Novo 7 Venus/Myth) here in the Philippines, and I have been having some issues with saving APN. Funny enough saving APN worked first time I used my Huawei E1552 Usb modem(after dissabling the cdrom and sd card), but after this I can't save APN and the list is empty. I read hundreds of pages on the net and here and tried most suggestions, with a few differences:
I'm on original ROM, and don't want to flash to another one,because this is the only problem I have, everything else is working.
I live in the Philippines and not SA or US. 4 months a year I live in Denmark.
First time I tried the modem were working with PPPwidget - but not after the new version came out, then I tried disabling the cdrom and SD card via putty on my pc,then the modem worked fine. I needed the cdrom in order to re-install drives on my pc so had to reset it to factory defaults, and when finished then again disabling the cdrom and SD card, and then the APN problem started.
I have downloaded allmost all PPP, UMTS, 3G, APN, System tuner, Tweakker, Toolbox, there is on the Play store and on the net and used market enabler when something was incompatible with my Tab. Nothing seem to be able to give me the APN back. It seems like the APN is locked somehow.
This is a rooted device, from manufacturer, only thing missing when I got it were SU, so I installed Superuser from ChainsDD, but later read that SuperSU fron Chainfire were better and uninstalled Superuser via Play store, then installed SuperSU and rebooted.
Android 4.1.1 JB Kernel 3.4.0+ Build number Cherry_A610_V2
1Ghz A9 Quadcore ATM7029 Cpu
GC1000 QuadCore Gpu
7" HD IPS 5pt. Capacitive touch panel WXGA 1280x800
Micro SD slot for card up to 32GB
8GB Nand Flash instead of 16GB
1GB Ram
Wifi
Micro USB 2.0
VGA front camera, 2MP back camera
Super HD 2160p
4000mAh battery
3G support through dongle
OTG but cable not supplied by Cherry Mobile(you can buy it in CDR-King for 60 pesos).
Cherry Mobile has NO support for this model on their homepage, funny since all their shops are out of stock with this model. I had to buy mine from a different shop. Ainol is even worse since their site is chinese only, can be used through Google translate, but then the search function doesn't work and you have to read through many pages and not finding anything.
When I start the Tab, attach the modem I get signal bar in notification, but "No internet connection", then I go to Mobile Networks> APN and its empty. Then I go to search for Operator and it finds Globe PH Prepaid, i chose that but nothing happens APN is still empty.
Then I try manually to set the APN, I just copy the info from my Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus, and then hit menu button to click the Save button, but this is were things go wrong - there is no save button, actually when I hit menu button, the screen changes to APN list and its still empty. I also tried to just hit the back button, same result.
I tried getting Tweakker from Play store, to automatically set the APN, but after the APN list is still empty.
I Tried APN backup & restore, backing up then restore, still empty. Doing the same thing then restart, stil empty. Removing all apps that had anything to do with APN or 3G modem and clear all data for them. Try above again, still empty.
Try my modem in my pc - works fine. Reset it again to factory defaults - works fine. Update firmware so I now also have phone and MMS - works fine. then disabling cdrom and SD card - try with PPP widget - not working. Then changing the dailup number, save, try dailing - hung. Then changing it back to the correct *99***1# - now working but still only browsing works. Ok decided to update PPPwidget to newest one - now not working. Switched back to old version I found on the net - still not working. Read on the the homepage of PPPwidget that the desired options I like besides browsing(TXT, MMS, Phone, Downloading from Play store) might not be available since the JB don't see the connection only some browsers do. OK uninstalled PPPWidget to try and get it set up manually like in the start, again not working.
Starting over from scratch(not resetting though - tried that on another "Chinese" tab and had chinese menues(ARRRGH)).
I'm back to the point that the APN list is still empty.
So my questions are simple:
Could it be that the list of the APN is locked somehow and thats why I can't add APN's?
Could it be that one of these wonderfull App's has deleted some system file?
Could it be that the APN list is read only, and only write for admin, where the Tablet thinks I'm not.
Could it be a general JB problem - I have read hundreds of similar stories on the net - all with different Tab's some with phones?
Any suggestions on what I can use - APN manager free is no longer available from Play store, and the Pro version is said to have major problems with JB.
Hope someone can help
With kind regards
JBJ
PS. Please take this serious and not as a thread to make fun of the OP.
Nothing??
Seriously?????
Nobody has a solution?
Never mind, the tab died after 4 months use. In order go bring to Warranty repair it would cost additional 3000 pesos, because Cherry Mobile don't accept delivery by courier service - only original owner, the name on the receipt.
I want to warn people not to buy Cherry Mobile gadgets if they live far from service center - unless they don't care about the warranty.

I just got myself the HTC Tattoo and am a bit confused on the Android Market. From what I am reading, it appears that Android Market REQUIRES that your phone have a data plan or at least have it provisioned (pay per use). I am stuck because my sim chip has been locked from having any data use. I am on a business account so have no ability to call ATT and have them re-provision my sim.
I know my wifi works, and am able to download from other sites that provide apk's directly. But is there any wifi workaround so I can access Android market?
Lastly, I am not really all that interested in anything except this one program my brother uses on his iphone called "supercam." We have a q-see DVR system in our business and supercam is the only program available that can interface with it. This is freeware so if anyone has the apk available, I would love it if you could email it to me.
Or if someone can instruct me on a way to access Android Market via wifi only, that would also be supremely appreciated!
Marketplace over Wifi works for me. Maybe your Phone is locked somehow by your vendor.
I only use wifi to access Market.
You could search on google for supercam apk.
Did you even try to go to the market with wifi turned on?
I have been able to access Market through Wi-Fi since day 1 without any problem. Don't see any reason why you can't.
Hey - I just searched the andorid market via the tattoo for supercam and there is no such app - chances are even if you got into market place via wifi you still would not get hold of this app.
Try googling slideme on your PC - some marketplace programs there to download and transfer to your phone (the old fashioned way)
This phone issue seems to be common. When I looked it up, a lot of people with the Tattoo said they had to do a hard reset because apparently, if you skip the initial boot screen asking you to enter your Google login information, you will not be able to set it up after. Just an infinite loop problem where it says "unable to establish reliable connection to server or your sim is not data provisioned. please call customer care if this persists."
I'd like to avoid a hard reset if possible. I have tried to access market using wifi only, have tried it with wifi on and no sim chip inserted, have disabled all default APN, and a few other things. My browser works fine in all instances - market just keeps giving me that same error message that I wrote above.
For reference, I am using an unlocked HTC Tattoo that was purchased retail box. This was not a carrier provided phone so there should be no issue with carrier locks and such.
For the time being, I have tried using the SDK as an emulator on my desktop to access Android Market directly but through that, I have not been able to figure out how to save the APK's onto my computer. At the same time, I too did try looking up Supercam and did not see it - I thought it had to do with my screen resolution incompatibility (I heard android market only shows apps compatible with your screen resolution and hardware requirements). But if you go to google and type in "android supercam" the first link is from androlib and is the program I am looking for. However, all the QR codes send me straight to Android Market - that's assuming I was able to even get the QR reader working the first time around.
Suggestions?
I would suggest you to make Market work even if that means you need to reset your phone cos you might need some other apps in the future and that is the easiest way to install them as you see.
You could also use some other sim card, even prepaid that works with 3g to get smartcam from the market. But if people say that it is not available for Tattoo that won't help you. I was able to find smartcam with my rooted Tattoo but I also have hacked Marker app installed.
For now I think your only solution could be to find someone with some other Android phone to download it for you, then he should back it up with Astro file manager and transfer it to your phone. You could do the same thing with emulator.

Smartcam - is that a typo or a different app entirely? If that has support for the Q-See DVR's, that might work too. For now, I am waiting for my pre-paid 3G card. But then again, if my device still needs a hard reset, blah. But yeah, I do need access to the market. One of these days when I get my day off. Or maybe if and when 2.1 comes out for Tattoo. I heard that was announced a month ago but then heard it got retracted. Any news on that end?
It was a typo. I was talking about supercam.
There were a lot of news about Android 2.1 on Tattoo, but I didn't see any in about a month now. Last thing I heard there won't be official 2.1 release for Tattoo. But we can definitely expect community release very soon.

I've always done a lot of firmware updates with all my various devices but should there be a community release, what should I expect when I do the flash? Do I my sense UI or any other functionality for the original Android interface?
dont rule out an official update yet - it has neither been confirmed or denied officially
I think there will be an update in the next 6 months
roflmao 6 months thats like 5 years in the mobile space

Ha ha - you are right - we will probably have new handets by then!
FINALLY.
I got it working. What many of us seem to be missing is after setting up the APN, you have to restart the phone at least once so the sim is properly provisioned for data access. These are the correct settings for AT&T (gophone or postpaid):
Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular
proxy: none
port: none
username: [email protected]
password: CINGULAR1 (case sensitive)
Server: none
MMSC: mmsc . cingular . com
MMS Proxy: wireless . cingular . com (without the spaces - forum won't let me post links)
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN Type: none
In addition, YES, a hard reset is necessary - the Tattoo only likes to take your google account information on that initial boot. I had to reset twice because the first time around, I skipped the account setup and could not get it working even with the 3G mobile network enabled. During the initial boot, I did not have time to setup the wifi so cannot confirm if you need to use the data line portion of your sim to initiate contact Android market to get your google account setup.
After getting things setup the first time around, it works flawlessly on wifi with my blocked GPRS sim card.
$10 for the sim + 1MB of data to get my access to android market - man. Anyway, if anyone can confirm that the hard reset trick with mobile network off and wifi will still allow you to setup your google account for android market, that would be great!
Hi everyone ,
i'm glad to be here.
I had the same problem , my Tattoo can't connect to Google service , so i did a Hard Reset , and now everything work fine for me .
So I just got my wife an Atrix and I rooted it to install the amazon app market. Before I rooted it I know that I had a data connection, however, sometime after rooting it we noticed that she couldn't get on the internet unless she was on wifi. We also enabled sideloading using gladenable (and installed the custom apn through that).
I have tried everything to get this data back on to no avail. We have power cycled the phone, pulled the battery and sim, put the phone in airplane mode for 1 minute and turned it back on, checked apn's, checked that data was enabled in /settings/data manager/data delivery/data enabled.
The phone shipped with 1.83, and I'm not sure if I can flash down to 1.28 without causing a problem. I unrooted the phone using gingerbreak with no problem, although that didn't fix the issue.
The only apps that I installed (which I have all of on my atrix) are ad-free, amazon app store, seek droid, gtunes and mxzing.
One weirdness that I did find however is that the first time I went into the APN listing, I noticed that no apn was selected. I seleceted the 'AT&T US HSDPA' apn and then rebooted and still no data connection. After I unrooted, I noticed the same thing, and selecting an APN (I tried all of them) didn't do anything.
Any ideas before I take the phone back to AT&T to get replaced?
::UPDATE:: Well Just for fun I switched my sim card with my wife's and low and behold the data connection worked no problem (although I couldn't log into motoblur) but I could see the H+ (which I can't currently see with her sim card).
This leads me to believe it is either an account problem or a sim card problem

Agreed. If 611 says you are on the correct data plan you may have to go to the store and swap the sim.
Alright, I rooted my phone and installed CM7 about 3 months ago, and had no problems ever until recently. My phone started force closing the messaging system and my media system. Then, I restarted my phone and it got stuck on the Vibrant screen, before the skateboarding CM7 android. I ended up flashing my phone back to the Samsung Vibrant T-959 stock using ODIN, but since I have Cincinnati Bell, I had to use T-Mobile's stock. My phone works perfectly fine except one thing... I DON'T HAVE DATA! I can't get online or access the market... It says I have no internet connection. Can anyone help me?
If there is something out there that I can use thats better than this T-Mobile stock software, please let me know... I'm open to anything at this point. I just want something stable and clean.
This sounds like the problem I have everytime I flash a Froyo ROM of any sort: I lose my APN.
You can check to see if that happened to you by going to Wireless, Mobile Networks, and checking to see if any APN is needed. If it says something along the lines of "Enter New APN?" or some such (I'm on MIUI at the moment so can't be exact), then your APN got wiped. Cincinnati Bell lists the correct APNs for the Vibrant on their website.

Go there, and enter both the WAP and MMS APNs, selecting the WAP one. Also, to curb another common problem, don't enter a Proxy for the WAP. It causes major browser slowdown and you data works just fine if not better without it.
did u try....
Taking the sim card out? Had the same problem, I took the sim out and put back... problem solved.try that
Hey, I'm having the same problem. Mine shows that I am connected and have full bars with 3G or H access. However, when I try to use the browser, gmail, market or any other app requiring data, it says that it fails to connect. I've been struggling with this for a couple of days now. I've already tried removing the sim card and resetting everything. Any help would be awesome, thanks!
I was quickly able to activate my Samsung Vitality (Gingerbread 2.3.4) to Page Plus with some limitations to MMS and default browser and stable 3G. After two weeks of reading every post I could find, I decided I should ask here !
1. The ##Data# does not do anything so I am unable to edit the default "Cricket" internet/MMS settings and apply the Page Plus settings. This causes issues with the default browser... it doesn't work and with MMS message sending. I have been able to overcome the MMS issue by apply a Page Plus APN, but it doesn't correct the browser. Does anyone know how I can get into the ##DATA# mode ?
2. I use QPST to change the settings necessary for Page Plus including the latest 3G PRL. 1x is solid as a rock, but 3G comes up, sometimes I can get a single web page to load then it drops ... within a few min. it will drop again... any idea on this ? (I am trying to be brief so if you want my QPST/PRL info please ask and I will provide.
3. I know Samsung had a "generic" update to 2.3.6, but it is no longer showing as available for download .. does anyone have the update available for download ?
Thanks in advance

I assume this is the 2.3.6 update and I installed the program on my desktop. However, when I start the upgrade process .. it tells me to hold the following keys ; "camera key,USB cable". Not sure what this means. I assume the camera key is the key configured for the muve music launcher presently, but .. for the usb... scratching my head . I assume I need to use a key sequence to get into the correct mode.. can you tell me what that is? Really appreciate your reply.
I figured it out -- hold camera key while plugging in usb cable !

Turn your phone OFF
Pull Battery
Re-insert Battery
Hold down Camera button (MUVE) while pluggin in USB cable.
Hit Vol. up to select download mode.
Thanks ! I successfully updated to the 2.3.6. Unfortunately, I still have the problem with 3G, browser, mms msg and now with the Google Play Store. Steps taken -Used one click root to get root back, activated via *228, updated PRL, checked settings in QPST, identical as they were before.
1. Using same method as before to enable mms. I go into airplane mode, delete apn and load the pageplus apn via apn backup & restore app. Then MMS works. Do I need a special MMS.apk for page plus ?
2. Stock browser, dolphin both still have same issue on data (not wifi), connection error on any url load - Opera mini works in socket mode but has same problem if changed to http.
3. 3G has same symptom, it will reflect 3G in hybrid mode and in EVDO mode, but drops out comes back, drops out and cannot load web pages etc.. in CDMA mode only, have solid 1x like before and 1x speeds.
4. New problem, Google Play Store unable to connect unless I use marketaccess.apk to manually set to Verizon 310004 and emulate on boot. I expected the upgrade from market to google play to eliminate the need for me to continue to emulate the provider I am on in the US.
Thanks again !
Update
Update on browser issue. I called Page Plus .. told them I was using a "motorola Citrus" even tho they know I'm not, the rep looked at my settings and said hang on there are a couple of features that could be enable.. 5 minutes later I reactivated and the stock browser works. I wish I could tell you what features on my account they enabled, but they did not tell me. Prior to this my only browse ability was thru Opera Mini configured in socket mode... like I said .. http would not work. I assume they default "unknown" phones to WAP. So if you have a smartphone and are having problems with browsing with stock browser ...
This did not fix the APN issue. I still must use the pageplus apn file and restore it after every reboot or I cannot send MMS messages ...I have provided what is default on my phone ... after activation ? vs. what I enable to get MMS to work
3G - Same issue .. it will not stay connected in hybrid or evdo only mode
Market- Same issue I must use market enabler to emulate the US carrier code I am on after every reload .. the "emulate on boot feature" does not work !
As a side comment .. this is my 14th time attempting to correctly enter the different "spam protection code" ...
Does anyone have links to these files for the sch-r720?
Okay, so there have been a few of us who've been experiencing really terrible 4G download speeds, most notably so in the Play Store. I'm talking Kilobytes per second here, people. I could transcribe the code and compile it faster than this stuff is downloading.
Anyway, I believe I may have fixed the issue. I've rebooted a couple of times and my changes have persisted through, so I'm hopeful. My download speed went from being measured in KB to MB which made me feel like my phone wasn't trying to operate on dial-up with some free hours left over from one of the thousands of AOL free trials discs found laying about in the early 90's.
So, here's what I tried BEFORE my fix:
-- Various 3G/4G Speed/Network/Signal Optimizer/Fix/Strengthen/Repair apps on the Play Store. Two of those apps actually helped my download speeds for the first app I downloaded from the store; after that the speeds went right back to being dismal and embarrassing. Nothing else helped at all.
-- *#*#4636#*#* to Phone Information and toggled various network preferences. Nothing affected my download speeds.
-- Tried various Mobile Network options in the Settings menu. Nothing helped.
-- Toggled variations of Roaming modes, network types, etc.
-- Flashed back to stock.
-- Flashed to Slim Bean (what I was running before)
-- Tried dirty flashing over the roms after getting everything set up
-- Cleared Dalvik, Cache, Fixed Permissions
-- Completely wiped my entire phone and started from fresh
-- Tried custom kernels
-- Went to the Verizon store and got a brand new sim card
-- In Build.prop I changed ril.subscription.types from NV,RUIM to RUIM,NV. Some google search led me to a forum where someone suggested that. It didn't do anything for me.
-- In Build.prop I saw ro.product.locale.region was set to GB. Changed that to US and rebooted. No change.
Nothing I was doing was working. I was still getting the worst download speeds I've ever seen in my entire life. I swear to god I was getting better download speeds when I was like, 10 years old browsing the internet on a 14.4 modem on a 386 processor with Windows 3.11. I wanted to punch the internet in its e-face with my digital fist.
So, that's when I had a revelation. I just came from having a Razr Maxx that I'd flashed god knows how many different roms and kernels on over the course of the year that I'd owned it. I never had download issues with that, and it too was running on 4G LTE with a micro sim card in it. If that worked fine, then why doesn't this? With that question in mind, I remembered some of the settings I'd seen in the build.props over the past months and one of them stuck out as I was browsing the build.prop for my new SGS4:
ro.telephony.default_network
On this phone, it was set to 8, however I was 100% certain my Razr Maxx has that value as 14. I figured "screw it, let's give this a shot," and changed that value to 14 instead of 8.
When I rebooted my phone stuck at the Samsung boot logo. I had to pull the battery. I booted into recovery and decided to try something different than my usual "Welp this didn't work time to format everything and try again," approach. I wiped Cache, Dalvik, and Fixed Permissions then rebooted. The phone booted up like normal. I ran Speedtest to see if my speeds were still garbage or not. That test wasn't amazing by any stretch of the word. It was something like 6 mbps down, 6 mbps up. I was getting similar speeds before, so I wasn't hopeful. Then, I went to the Play Store "just to see," and downloaded a past purchase.
It started at 50kb and my heart immediately sank. Then, it went to 2 megs. 3.5. 6.2. 9. Download complete. I was hesitant to accept any actual change, so I downloaded another app. Same increased speed. I was happy, but reluctant. I rebooted, completely certain that my old speeds would return and I'd go back to contemplating a full factory wipe and attempt to return the device for another claiming it was defective. After the phone rebooted and obtained its data connection I went back to the store and downloaded another app. FAST SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!
I don't know what the heck changing that 8 to 14 did or what that value actually represents, but my speeds have remained "fixed". Granted, they're slower than they probably could be, but my Play Store downloads have gone back to acceptable rates so I figured sharing that information with you guys here might help at least one other person who can't understand for the life of them why their new phone refuses to go as fast as it should.
TL;DR: Went to Build.prop and changed ro.telephony.default_network to 14 instead of 8 and my Play Store download speeds went from kbps back to mbps.
My issue has been very similar to yours. Except the only slow downloads I get are when they originate from Google. Running the speedtest app and viewing webpages all show my device is capable of downloading at serveral megs a second. But if I tried to watch videos on Youtube or listen to music I would get constant buffering and some downloads from the market (the more popular one like Angry Birds or Gmail) would only download at about 40k. Then all of a sudden everything started downloading at high speed again. I was overjoyed.
Today I decided to try another ROM and unfortunately after flashing some downloads are incredibly slow again.
I suspect that changing the default_network in the build.prop did not actually fix the issue you were having. Especially since the information I have found about the field suggests it sets your phone default network type to something like CDMA or LTE only after a factory reset of your phone. In any case I have set this same field to 14, cleared dalvik and cache, then fixed permissions and my download speeds remain just as slow.
Well, I'm actually pretty confident it did because I was looking through apns-conf.xml and noticed that every instance of an LTE segment regardless of network (sprint, tmo, vzw) had this value
Code:
bearer="14"/>
. So, because of that, I'm pretty certain that the network type being set to 14 promotes LTE connectivity over whatever the 8 was, which is a value I can't find any reference for in this APN file.
You can try this, which is the actual steps taken for fixing my problem:
Settings -> More -> Mobile Networks
Data enabled [X]
Data roaming [ ]
National data roaming [ ]
Network Mode: LTE / CDMA / EvDo
System select: Home only
CDMA subscription: RUIM/SIM
Press Back, toggle Airplane Mode on then off
ROM Toolbox -> build.prop editor
ril.subscription.types RUIM,NV
ro.com.android.dataroaming false
ro.product.locale.language en
ro.product.locale.region US
ro.telephony.default_network 14
Reboot to recovery
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik
Fix Permissions
Reboot
What ROM are you currently running? At the moment I'm running stock and don't have the options for System Select and CDMA Subscription. I also dont have a ro.telephony.default_network entry in the build.prop.

I'm using Slim Bean.
If you're on Stock, you should be able to do this in Mobile Networks:
Mobile Data [X]
Global Data Roaming Access: Deny data roaming access
Network mode: LTE/CDMA
In ROM Toolbox Pro's build.prop editor I also saw that the region was set to GB. That should go back to US if you're in the US.
Edit: Actually, if you're on the stock rom you can go to Settings -> More -> About Phone - Status or whatever the option is. If you look for network type or connection type, you should see something like Verizon LTE 14 or something similar. That's the 14 I was talking about. If that says 14, you should be good.
