Hi,
Just received my Omate truesmart.
I can make calls, but I can not use the data connectionbecause the smartwatch did not automatically detect my SIM mobile data settings.
If I go to Settings - Wireless & Networks - More - Mobile Networks - Access Point Names (APN) , I find it empty and there is no menu button to add a new APN.
Any suggestions?
Thank you very much

After adding the APN manually, the Data connection works.

I bid you won't believe your "simple answer" helped people even after almost 1 yr..
well, you did today!!! THANK YOU!!
I can't believe i havn't figured this out after owning the phone for almost 6 month... OMG
I can make calls, but I can not use the data connection but my APN is correct. What else could cause this trouble with trueSmart+?

In Settings->Wireless Networks->Mobile Networks,
I have "Data Roaming" unchecked.
I'm in an area when my weak-signal 2G connection on T-mobile frequently drops out and restores. Every time it restores, a popup graciously informs me: "Attention! Data Roaming will incur extra charges. Disable Data Roaming?" I must click yes to dismiss the window.
I don't get what part of the setting (Data Roaming: UNCHECKED) the OS doesn't understand!
Am I missing something or is there a special way to really disable data roaming or get rid of the popups?
thanks!
phone: vibrant JI6
Does it still show that it is connected to data when it is roaming?

I sometimes see the Edge symbol in the top row. I just figured out that a couple of other carriers are sometimes weakly picked up at my location. I have a pay-as-you-go tmo sim in the phone (unlocked). I thought data roaming was not a possibility anyhow (I'm a noob at this). I only want to use 2G for phone, and wireless for data.
What I'm really hoping for is to NOT be asked to disable data roaming, since I made that setting.

Well here is a better option. Go into Settings>> Wireless and Network >> Mobile Networks >> Access Point Names >> Click on Menu & select New APN and create Dummy one. Then before selecting the back button make sure there the radio button for the dummy APN is selected. This should prevent you from connecting to Tmobile Data Services.

Thanks. That seemed to have worked, in that I don't get the roaming popups anymore. It seems that it may prevent me from roaming on 2G as well, but I'm not sure - I'm trying to figure this out whilst in cellphone hinterlands (in the San Juan Islands where the locals hate cell towers). Now I'm getting a string of popups requesting that I automatically search for providers, even though I've set it to manually select tmo. What I'm hoping for is just tmo 2G for phonecalls and SMS, with no guff from the phone about it. My Razr does that just fine.
Tomorrow, I'll drive off to a more cell-friendly area and make a better determination.
Appreciate the help!

I am glad it worked. Just set your phone to select automatically and you should be ok. Since you changed your APN, it will not connect to internet anymore using 3G. I know this coz, I used this while in Toronto last month.
Hi guys, I'm having this bizarre problem that I hope you could help me with.
I currently have an iPhone 5S, SGS4 and HTC One and share a single sim card between all three phones.
In my home country my SIM card is able to access data on all 3 phones with no problem.
However, when I go abroad and use data roaming, only the iPhone is able connect, both android phones are unable to connect at all.
I checked the APN settings and all seem to be correct.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Have you enabled data roaming in settings..!??
If you are using a custom rom you can find it in settings - - > more - - >mobile networks... Tick the data roaming option... I've never tried data roaming as I don't travel much... But that might help you..! [emoji106]

Yup it's ticked for sure. On the HTC it says that APN settings are incorrect, on the Samsung the phone just refuses to connect. If I move the SIM to the iPhone, data roaming works flawlessly!
When I'm back home, I have zero problems with either phone, which leads me think this is either an Android problem, or a SIM card problem.

Then I guess it has something to do with APN's... Maybe it requires different APN's for roaming... And somehow iPhone has them by default and android doesn't.... Contact your service provider and get the apns..!! That's my best bet.... Good luck

Depending on your carrier, there are APN (access point name) you need to setup in your settings. In Settings, go into More -> Cellular network -> Access Point Names. Here, you need to have one for your carrier. If there is one already, probably it doesn't have all necessary information filled out yet.
For me, I use Koodo in Canada. If i search Koodo APN settings, or similar, i can find this information, what to put under what. You should google as well. You'll most likely find it.
Then after you enter all info, you MUST click the 3 dots in upper right, and SAVE. Then when you are back to your list of APNs you MUST select the one you just created or edited.
Now once you reboot, it will work. One last note, this happened to me a few days ago when I installed Scrubber gpe 5.1 rom. The data was actually off even though there was signal. So make sure that it is actually on. the on/off button was hiding in the notification panel quick settings.
Hope it helps!
I have no mobile data, not even the little up and down arrows or letters next to the sims signal bars show up.
I have tried all the troubleshooting and different settings for prefered network type, airplane mode is off, mobile data is on with no limits, no power saving modes are on. Phone is dual sim so I have tried on both sims and tried disabling the other sim and changing the sim slots, both sims are loaded with data credit that works in other android devices. Wifi works fine. Factory reset does not help.
There is only one trouble shooting thing I can't try. When I select settings > more > mobile networks > access point names it says
"Access Point Name settings are not available for this user"
Perhaps if I could set APN I could get mobile data. How can I do that or how can I try to get mobile data to work?
Phone is E2363 with build 26.1.B.2.102 Thanks if you can help
Try clicking on the plus sign and add in the operator name (mine is DST in my country) and followed with a 'dot' then internet in the Mobile network settings.
Example for me: DST.internet
You may also want to try with .WAP
Example for me again: DST.WAP
I left mine like that and I seemed to have gotten the Mobile data to work. But my case was different, I have the up and down arrows when Mobile data is turned on, just couldn't access the Web.
If adding another APN fails, flash ftf. Seems like the last resort.
There is no plus sign, just the text
"Access Point Name settings are not available for this user"

Oww.. Sorry.
I guess you can try reflashing the ROM? :silly:
From what I have google searched, it has something to do with com.android.providers.telephony and we can't do anything about that without root so reflashing is the only option.
EDIT: Have you tried going around with the Service Providers stuff and rebooting? Idk might as well give that a try
downloading automatic settings from Settings -> More -> Internet settings fixed it, thanks yall.
Please, help me to find Network mode menu with GSM/WCDMA/LTE Settings.

I was there many times.
Unfortunately, I don't have menu item with Network Mode
I got this point only for the active SIM. Have you tried to turn off WLAN and use cellular network??

Yes, it is not shown. Screenshot shows that the data network is active on SIM1, it's 3G but Network Mode menu is absent. How can I switch it on?
