Went on a trip out of the country, messed with the APNs to get the phone to work with a foreign carrier. Back in the states, and now I can't connect to data at all. The Verizon APN is not listed as an option.
Have tried:
-Manually entering VZW APN settings w/ APN manager
-Pulling sim and rebooting
Can't think of anything else. Anyone have any ideas?

I recently Tried to use my ATT SIM with my Dinc4G, I had to add an APN but it worked 100%, Voice and Data.
When I went back to my Verizon SIM, I found I had no data...
It hasn't come back at all for a couple days now, when I reset t o defualt APN I see the Verizon APN and even got screenshots of the settings
Problem is it changes back to some APN with wrong settings almost immediately, and I cannot change that APN.
Adding New a New APN causes that APN to disappear, and the name of the locked one to change. The information is still wrong, can't be changed and I have no data...
At a loss here, can't figure out whats happening. I even put my SIM in my Galaxy Nexus... and THAT didn't have a data connection either....
Are you rooted?
I've had the same problem after testing out an AT&T SIM, and there seems to be something wrong with the way Dinc4 tries to reset APN data to defaults.
There might be a better/easier/more proper way to fix it, but the only one I found was to edit APN database directly using a SQLite editor. Obviously, needs root access for that.
If you are, in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases check telephony.db and cdmaapn.db files.

I use my DNA primarily on VZW but recently added a TMobile SIM card to my international travel kit. I found out the DNA is SIM unlocked so I jammed it in, set the APN settings and all was dandy. Phone worked very well.
Problem is, NOW I go back to the VZW SIM and the Verizon APN settings will not stick. I input the settings and save but then it retains the TMo settings.
I have signal bar but it won't get to internet or send/receive MMS. no 4G icon in the bar.
Anyone have experience with this?
Is there an app that allows me to easily switch between multiple APNs? It appears only one is saved at a time.
Does anyone else use multiple SIMs on any android devices and have suggestions on how to maintain this?
Stock Rooted with S-Off.
Steps taken:
Reboot, Clear Dalvic, Clear Cache
in APN click on 'Reset to default', the VZWINTERNET shows until I exit the screen, when I return it's TMobile settings
BTW: I have already tried suggestions here and it never saves. It will not add another APN. As soon as I go out and back in the new APN is gone.

So I got the PagePlus Sim Card, contacted P+ to register it and what I ended up with initially was no voice/txt/mms/data. Previously I had voice/txt/mms/3G. I loaded different roms, reformatted phone, did system restore but the only thing that got voice/sms/mms/3g back was changing from NV only to RUIM Only. OK, so at least I have that back. But no matter what I do I can't get the LTE! Did any one had any luck getting LTE working on their device? I noticed on the simcard package it said something like "you might have to change your APN settings". Can someone please help? Post your DFS screenshots maybe? APN settings?
Any luck? I considered trying, but being that I had a hard enough time getting 3G to work... I'm not so sure I'm willing to put much effort into it! You have to order the sim card, right? Or can you get it in a store somewhere?
I bought the sim card on eBay. Still no luck with LTE. P+ gave me apn settings but still nothing.
There is something weird going on with the APN settings. My rezound is running stock latest rom. By default there is one verizon APN entry - Internet. The weird part is that when I add any new APN it appears in the list but I cannot select it - there is no select bullet to the right. Also, why is the default APN's MCC is 311 and MNC 480? And if I enter anything other than those numbers for new APN entry and click save it does not appear in the list?
UPDATE: I figured out that if you include word "default" in APN TYPE field than it gives you a select circle for that APN.
Hey there,
So I called sprint and told them I need them to unlock my phone for international travel and they did. I tested it with AT&T and it worked for phone connections but not for data. Any idea how to make ATT data connection to work?
APN settings?
So I need to enter specific APN settings for each sim card/carrier I use?
Depends on provider. On ting.com I did, now on byowireless it just works. Both resell T-Mobile.
Google for your carrier's apns settings, and add them.
I just got my z5c. Got everything working with the help of tmobile, but I had to manually enter my APN settings.
On my Samsung, there used to be a ton of APNs there. On Sony there were none, and now only one.
After manually entering the tmobile settings, I tried the 'download settings for Internet and MMS' , but that didn't net any new APNs.
When I delete the manually entered APN, I cannot download internet settings.
My Samsung had a button to scan for APNs (though I was running cyanogenmod most of the time). How do I scan for new APNs dynamically? I travel to other countries, and would like the phone to hop networks like my old one did.
What carrier are you trying to use? I just entered T-Mobile's manually and it worked fine.
See this list.
When I first got my z5c, I first connected it to the wifi, then downloaded the internet/messaging services automatically. Worked on the first try, Straight Talk/ATT. I don't know about hopping networks, but I think the APN needs to match up with the sim card.
