I have aokp milestone 2 running on Verizon galaxy note 2. I want to run a t-mobile SIM in this ROM and device. How can I add apn. I haven't found flashing apn editor to work. Apn global doesn't work. In beans ROM thus was just a matter of switching the SIM, it already had apn info in it. Thanks

Even if you got the APNs installed I don't think it would work since this phone uses different radios. Its a CDMA phone your trying to use on a GSM network.
I have a VZW Note 2.
It's running CM 10.1.
GSM talk/text work "out of the box", even on stock ROM.
CM 10.1 allows APN editing, which you will need to do, if you want data.
I use AT&T & T-Mobile MVNO SIMs. I get AT&T & T-Mobile data.

I use a VZW Note 2 on AT7T myself, the process should be the exact same other than the actual APN info.
Either find the APN info online somewhere and add it via Settings>More Settings>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names> Menu Button and add new APN
Or you can Nandroid back to your last ROM (you did nandroid right?) and copy the APN info there and Nandroid back and add it as above.
If you didnt make nandroids.... make a nandroid of your current setup, clean flash your old ROM, copy the APN info, go back to the nandroid you just made and add in the info.
Thankful to all your replies. The aokp does not show access point names (I'll take another look), then I'm off to cyanogen mod. Thanks for your time.

I am updating my question with information that I have after trying. I put in the SIM for T-Mobile in my Verizon Galaxy note 2, this unlocked the add apn menu. I was thus able to add apn data without any special maneuvers. The T-Mobile SIM ran data just fine. It did take a couple of reboots for the Verizon SIM to catch 4G again. Please note this phone does H+ and evdo on T-Mobile. I didn't get 3G.

I'm trying to use my iPad sim (converted into a regular sim card) in my note, but I am unable to use the APN "broadband". Everytime I create that APN, it will automatically delete it off the list. It seems like AT&T is blocking that APN from being used. Is this possible, or a way around this?
Thanks
Try using "phone" as the apn

the only apn ipads have is broadband.... some older prepaid unlimited ones have isp.cingular as the apn
yeah...only APN iPads can use is "broadband". Anyone know how to bypass this?

Are you rooted? I don't have an answer, but I suspect the solution involves being rooted and freezing an AT&T management .apk that is deleting any APNs that you add.

Yes, I am currently running TPC NOTE V2.
My first contribution to the forum
I got the ATT Note last weekend off second hand, so no contract.
I want to use it primarily as a tablet with data plan (google voice can serve as phone if needed). So I want to try iPad data plan.
I got my iPad sim activated for a monthly plan, but as members noted, that for some reason, the new APN setting can not be saved for some reason (can we blame ATT?). So you can not use the iPad sim directly.
I tried couple of ways, and finally figured out how to do it on my Note:
(1) Create the new APN as previously instructed (call it "iPad" or whatever), with "phone" as the APN setting. Save it.
(2) On the APN list, select the new one, so the default AT&T PTA is grey out, and the new one ("iPad") is on.
(3) Now, change the APN from "phone" to "Broadband" (Sorry I forgot this important step last night!)
(4) Then, instead of saving the change (which would fail), I jumped out of the setting and go straight to home, then web browser to click a link. It might give you an error the first time, but when I clicked the link again, it would eventually start working, and the 4G icon showed up on the top menu.
I wen back to APN setting. Found the new setting "iPad" was gone. However, I did notice the default APN setting (AT&T PTA) remained grey out (not selected).
So, it seems if you force off the default setting, you can go straight to 4G network with iPhone's data plan.
I disabled the cellular network and reactivated it. The connection still worked, so hopefully it will last.
[Update]: Sorry I forgot the important step (3). I tried again, and the whole process works. Yes, I have the phone unlocked already for T-Mobile use (paid $25 online to get the unlock code. Not sure if it is necessary for AT&T data sim card, though).
i think
I think your note has to be unlocked .thats only way
iPad Sim
I am using iPad SIM in note and its working fine. I don't get LTE but HSPA Speeds. I picked new SIM from AT&T Store for my iPad and activated under different email now using it with $30 3GB Plan. I have 'broadband' as apn. My note is unlocked running SAUROM RC 6. I had issues with RC 7 so reverted back.

It just can't be on an AT&T based rom. Since Saurom rom is based off of Rogers, the apn "broadband" will work. Has nothing to do with unlock, it's the software that prevents you from using that APN.

You are now able to use LTE on the note since AT&T now has a plan for the "New iPad". You just need to change the plan in the online management. Just change the IMEI to the "New iPad". The APN will still be broadband.
I found a IMEI from some person selling it on eBay

Thanks much for this ....I could not find any other solution so far.....I appreciate you writing this. It works.
Hi all
Just wanted to see if any of yall with a stock rom would be willing to download APN Backup and Restore (link at bottom) and attach me a backup of your APN. Thank You in advance.
It would help out a ton.

You can easily create an APN. Google for the settings.
.
I know but AT&T uses multiple APNs and I have tried 4 different ones so far and my internet speed and MMS are still having problems. A backup of a AT&T APN should fix this problem.
Please I am begging

It depends on what your data plan is provisioned for. Since you are not using an ATT phone it could be 1 of 3. Medianet, 4G, or LTE. All 3 have different APNs.
Ok, I suddenly have lost LTE data and cannot make phone calls.
I have pulled the sim card and reinserted but I keep getting a popup window asking me if I want to connect to Global and not CDMA/LTE. I change the request to LTE and make sure setting is there.
It won't connect to 4G. and keeps asking about Global.
I am rooted and ROM'd with unlocked bootloader and have even tried my trusty stock image -- no go!
All of my ROM backups have the same issue and I can't place a call.
:crying:
Yes, my bill is paid and in order.
What can I do? I doubt VZW will help me since it is a Dev Edition and I purchased through Samsung, not them.
APN settings seem to be blacked out so I cant change. It does allow me to delete it.
HELP! I need to place calls.

If it persists across different roms it sounds like either faulty sim or for some reason your modem or kernel is corrupted. I would re flash modem. After that try to re flash kernel. If that fails a new sim might be in order. I presume you have checked with another phone to be sure it's not a VZW problem.

Thanks! I will try the modem route first and then the kernel route.
Although each ROM has a different kernel, so I don't think that is the issue.
Yes, no problem with VZW as the other half's phone is working.
Data works on LTE for Internet but can't place any calls and all received calls do not ring phone: goes into VM.
Edit: at Verizon and not SIM card. New SIM card gives me voice but no data. Says voice roaming.
Ok, here is the problem after 2 new sim cards: Data is showing as "CDMA RX1TT" I cannot get data or voice now. Says voice is roaming with a triangle.
Is this a software setting or hardware setting? Something has changed on my phone, despite changing from stock to ROMS, etc.
VZW store is at a loss and though the rep was good, suggested I call top tier VZW support tomorrow and made notes in my account.
So, any clues as to what could cause this? Is my Dev phone now shot?
If it truly is an APN issue i can post my APN from my Verizon SGS4 and you can use an app called APN backup and restore to push it to your phone or push it manually using root explore and then set permissions. Let me know.

You might have a corrupted EFS partition in which case you would need to restore a good copy of that. Some of the time its in LTE/GSM mode for whatever reason in which case you would need to change it to LTE/CDMA mode.

I had a "DUH" moment when I was in a similar situation. I had forgotten that I had enabled the hidden menu on my DevS4 and changed the "band" preferences to try and force the AWS band. This took the phone off of "automatic band connecting" and I was unable to connect to data. Once I remembered what I had done, I simply when back into the menu and switched from forcing AWS band back to "automatic". Just my 2 cents.

Hello Everyone! Sorry for the delay. Actually, this is what kinda occurred, as the 1/15 build of OctOs ROM which I flashed had an issue and it was posted on Facebook, which I didn't see until Saturday. It changed the CDMA subscription to NV and so even with stock or other ROM backup images, it carried over and didn't re-adjust. I had to reinstall that bad ROM, make some changes per OctOs instructions and BAM: all is well.
As you know on stock rooted, one cannot change certain settings and they were greyed out.
At least I got another backup sim card from VZW should I ever need to activate an older phone.
Thanks for everyone's help!
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.
Alrighty, heres my situation. i havnt been up to date with the Spyder community lately so i might of missed something but i need some suggestions. I decided to give my Uncle my Droid Razr so to keep him updated with software, i installed Safestrap (3.75), formatted the system, installed latest cm12.1 nightly, activated a mini cdma sim from straight talk and everything is running smoothly. the only problem i have is 3g/lte is not showing up. I get a signal bar with an ! beside them. i checked on straight talk website and it said i didnt need to modify verizons apn for straight talk but with Cyanogenmod, it gives you every carrier option under the son so what all should i have set to get a data signal? calling and texting works but no data.
i was gonna say screw it and rsd lite back to original moto firmware but looks like the rsd website is down.
I also have a verizon towered straight talk sim.
When I switched to my Droid 4 data came instantly.
When I switched to my Note 4 it took about 24 hours.
When I switched to the Razr Xt912 it was not happening right away. What I believed helped was switching over to the stock Rom and waiting utnil things activated. Took a bit. Could still take up to a day.
The only main issue I found is no LTE on any of the custom Roms. At least 4.4 and probably 5.0+
oh wow, i managed to get 1x to kick in but thats a 5kb data connection enough for mms

Go to setting, then mobile networks and place a check mark next to "Global". Re-boot and see if that helps. You can also try resetting the APN to default or manually set the APN for Straight Talk

Straight Talk offers a BYOP SIM card unlock, dont they??, also, if your using "Straight Talk", then you cant use Verizon APN
EDIT: Does it work properly if you boot into the stock ROM???, 3G, LTE and SMS??. If it does, then while in the stock ROM, manually copy the APN settings and then boot into CM 12 and manually copy/edit them while in CM 12.
EDIT 2: I dont use "Straight Talk" but I just saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a76Zi7HVy6A, see if this is of any help

i dont have the stock rom any more. BYOP is what i did. activated a cdma straight sim card and access point. I dont have access to the rsd files anymore. i did flash cm10 to see if the android version made a difference and nothing. APN should be the same from stock.

Look in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr/general/index-motorola-droid-razr-development-t3023837. This will have everything you need to flash back to stock, root then use safestrap to boot into Stock ROM or custom ROM on the fly. The link I provided will also have links to RSD Lite
