I need to use a separate APN for work which only allows access to internal servers and no access to the internet. I'm wondering if it's possible to for certain apps to use the work APN and everything else goes through the internet APN.
If the above is not possible are their any decent widgets that I can use for switching between APNs?
My phone is a Note 2 SGH-I317M with JB4.1.2.
If what you need is "carrier specific" then Tweakker is the best aPN switcher on the market.

I don't need a carrier specific APN, I's like to be able to use multiple APNs at the same time but specify which app uses which APN.
I'm not switching between APNs on different providers, I'm switching between APNs on the same provider as I work for the provider and need to be able to access the private APN but I'd still like my apps that require internet access to work.

My company has contract with the my network provider, so we have a special APN that connects to a company network. We have the usual public internet APN too.
I usually use public internet, but after a time the company APN becomes active. If I switch off mobile data and on again, than the public internet starts working. I don't have to change the APN in the settings.
If I start wifi hotspot, than it switches off and on the mobile data and it is switched on with company APN.
Usually every time I want to use internet I have to switch mobile data on and off.
If I delete the company APN, than APN starts working well.
I believe that there is a "default" APN set somewhere and it activates.
I have factory 2.3 on a HTC desire Z. With 2.2 I did not have this problem.
Try "apn manager" in market.

I can't use it. I've installed it, but it list hundreds of APN-s to select. It takes minutes to scroll down to "V" and there is a lot of "Vodafone Internet", I can't find out what is mine.
It is strange, because most people rates it with 5 starts. Maybe it is some HTC or Vodafone specific stuff?
I'm trying to set up my Photon on the Cincinnati Bell network. I'm going to Wireless & Networks, Mobile Networks, and trying to find the options to change the APN settings here but the option isn't available.
Phone is rooted and unlocked. Running Jokersax's CM10 rom, I popped in the sim card from my Cincinatti Bell phone and while it makes calls the texting doesn't work.

ok heres an easy way to this this on any android. i like using elixr2 app to access menus that arent avail in the roms. like this. remeber that in order for an app to write and change system settings like apn's then that app must be a system app. an easy way to convert apps to system or user apps is something like rom toolbox the last picture shows the options menu for installed apps.
This isn't really a problem. It's just a question out of curiosity...aimed at the guys who tear down ROMs on a regular basis, or whoever else might know.
Okay so here's my scenario. I have a Verizon Note 2 which I use here in the Caribbean on a GSM network. Most of the time I use ATT or N7105 roms (without the ATT/n7105 modems of course) since I'm using a GSM network.
Whenever I use ATT/N7105 roms, my phone automatically retrieves APN settings for internet and mms from my carrier.
When I use Verizon ROMs like I am right now, I never receive these APN and MMS settings automatically.
I know my APN settings but it's convenient having it retrieved automatically when I switch sim cards.
What part of the ROM is it that allows this to happen when I'm using ATT roms?
Is it something in the build.prop that I'm missing? CSC settings or something else?

Well for the 1% that might be interested I figured out the answer. It turns out the ATT and N7105 roms apn-conf.xml file had my carrier's apn/mms settings.
So just replacing that file in my Verizon rom got my settings added automatically.
The issue is that it the APN database is populated with garbage apns, they don't work at all. First you have to get this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.appando.app.changeApn&hl=en
Yes yes it looks very sketchy but it works around the issue of not being able to get in to the APN settings.
You have to follow these instructions to clear the apns (because you can add new ones but it won't prioritize them if there are the originals):
https://forum.fairphone.com/t/how-do-i-uninstall-an-apn-giffgaff-apn-settings/5834
After that, just go back to the change APN app and create two new APNs: One for mms and one for internet (data). You need to use these APN settings: https://apn.gishan.net/settings/769_20_sprint_apn_settings_for_lg_g3.php (MMS)
https://apn.gishan.net/settings/769_21_sprint_apn_settings_for_lg_g3.php (Internet/Data)
After doing this do you have to toggle airplanemode to get data to kick in after reboots?

So I've been searching around and haven't been able to find an answer yet, that actually works. I'm using my G3 on Sprint for a bit while my G6 gets fixed, and it's on rooted ZVC. I apparently live in a Sprint dead zone, so WiFi calling is a must, but MMS doesn't work over WiFi with the default APN setting for MMSC. If I use an app like Textra, I can force the correct URL, but I have been unable to change/add the correct APN to the system in order to use Android Messaging, for example. I can get to the APN settings screen, but no options to add or edit. ##DATA# lets me change the setting for the stock messaging app only. Any suggestions?
