Hey, I got a Galaxy s4 att unlocked run Android 4.4.2. I use straight talk and I need to change the MNC which is set to 260 as a default for some reason. When I change it from 260 to 410 and save the apn, the apn disappears. I've don't it over and over and it keeps on disappearing as soon as i change MNC and save it. Previous owner told me its unlocked. Does anyone know about this issue?

I unlocked and rooted my Atrix I changed the apn to t mobile I get the E but the atrix still trys to access At&T on the browser and market what am I missing???
Mine did this same thing with my carrier in Japan, I could call and text and I would get H+ icon but no data. I sent mine back for a replacement.
Did you activate the phone on AT&T before unlocking and changing SIM?
I am facing the similar problem too. I use Atrix with Simple Mobile number. Mine catches E but doesn't load anything. Always ended up showing connection error. Is it a hardware problem?
Sounds like apn settings are incorrect.

Is it incorrect?
I don't know what your apn settings should be, just sounds like that is the source of your problem.
Edit...look at some of these:
http://forum.androidspin.com/showthread.php/2615-SETTINGS-T-Mobile-APN-Settings
that post is where I got the setting to try to change to when it had a problem. later I found out that it's the same setting as the default though the username and password is unknown since it's a star.
Hi,
I have a problem to set apn to mmc: 294 and mnc: 02, for One network in Macedonia
After entering these values, with save or exit, this "apn name" disappear from apn list?
With stadard mmc and mnc values, I can save apn, but I do not have internet, with my current provader, who choice not to use standards mmc: 310 and mnc: 260
Any idea how I can fix it
Fixed, this could happen because market unlocker. Deactivate it, and set new apn. Later you can activate market unlocker again.
I just switched my verizon phone to straight talk. Im finding out one of the things thats saving me money is terrible customer support...
So I have an S5 SM-G900V running 4.4.2 unlocked.
So I switch to straight talk and everything is great. Same exact service as verizon for half the price. The next day I get a text that my data plan has been updated from 5 gb to 8 gb. They told me this would happen. Now when they switch my plan over they also reflashed my APN and broke my data/MMS. Get on the web google a little bit download a couple things and within an hour Ive got the APN properly working and data going just fine. Next day I try to send someone a picture via text and realize I cant receive or send MMS'. Get back on google tonight to configure the texting an APN settings and for the life of me I cant get it to work. Ive tried numerous old and new MMSC's proxies, ports, etc. I managed to get my downloading working but uploading refuses to play nice.
My APN reads as follows right now.
APN: TRACFONE.VZWENTP
MMSC: HTTP://MMS.VTEXT.COM/SERVLETS/MMS
MCC: 311
MNC: 480
APN TYPE: DEFAULT,DUN,STDHIPRI,SUPL
APN PROTOCOL: IPV4/IPV6
APN ROAMING PROTOCOL: IPV4/IPV6
BEARER: LTE
If I didnt listed the field is blank. So as a small note my wife has the same exact phone but with the next version of android and is having no issues. Her APN reads exactly the same except the MMSC is set to default, and the APN TYPE doesnt have STDHIPRI. I tried her settings not luck. Also the MMSC im currently on is not what worked for downloading so Im broken on up and download right now. I used an older tracfine address that got downloading working. This vtext address is what is listed as correct for a verizon phone everywhere on the web...
Also Id like to add I wanted to try some settings I found with different MCC and MNC numbers but if I change them it immediately deletes my APN profile...
I did also try go sms and some other recommended messaging apps and it made no difference.
Help please lol. Im getting super frustrated.
Well I just fixed it. Go figure I walk away from it for a couple hours, make a post, screw with it for 10 minutes and figure it out...
SO for anyone else on the internet with this issue here is the functioning current APN for a verizon phone on straight talk as of 8/2017
APN: TRACFONE.VZWENTP
MMSC: HTTP://MMS.VTEXT.COM/SERVLETS/MMS
MCC: 311
MNC: 480
APN TYPE: DEFAULT,MMS,SUPL
APN PROTOCOL: IPV4/IPV6
APN ROAMING PROTOCOL: IPV4/IPV6
BEARER: LTE
It was all in the stupid APN Type line. Apparently either my phones a screw ball OR perhaps newer android phones default better on certain settings that my rooted phone cant? Either way this stupid line changed worked to fix both my downloading and uploading...
I have tried an AT&T sim card and a T-Mobile sim card in the new phone, but I have been unable to get LTE to work? Does anyone else have this new phone? If so, what carrier are you using and what APN settings are working for you? Better yet, what APN settings dictate the phone to use LTE? I want to use the phone on AT&T. I currently use a V35 on AT&T and when I put the SIM card from it into the Armor 6E, I cannot get LTE. I have tried numerous APN settings without any luck. Can anyone help?
Well a quick check of the AT&T site says maybe not.
https://forums.att.com/t5/Other-Phones-Devices/GSM-network-question-looking-at-purchasing-a-Ulefone-Armor-phone/td-p/5284699
So you maybe better off just returning it.
Armor 6e and AT&T
I also recently purchased a uleFone Armor 6e and have success on the AT&T network. Maybe a replacement SIM is in order ?
Go in the phone's settings, Network and Internet, Mobile network, advanced, access point names. Hit the plus sign at the top and enter these settings:
name - NXTGENPHONE
APN - NXTGENPHONE
Proxy - not set
Port - not set
Username - not set
password - not set
Server - not set
MMSC - mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS proxy - proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port - 80
MCC - 310
MNC - 410
Authentication Type - None
APN type - default,mms,supl,hipri
APN protocol - IPv4
Bearer - Unspecified
Those are the settings available from AT&T. Again, you might want to check on a new SIM card. SIM compatibility may be the issue. A compatible SIM card will display 25, 26, 27, or 28 in the ninth and tenth digits spots.
My Armor 6E just automatically worked when I switched the [AT&T] / Straight Talk SIM out of my old phone when I re-activated my service with a PIN card yesterday. It looked like the settings in the last post, but I only had 3G with the "automatic" APN that just showed up upon activation.
When I put the Straight Talk/[tracfone/AT&T] APN settings in a new APN, I got 4G HD.
These are the settings that got me (Straight Talk) 4G HD:
-----
Name: straight talk
APN: tfdata
MMSC: http://mms-tf.net
MMS proxy: mms3.tracfone.com
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
You don’t need to setup a username nor password.

These are from here:
https://apn-settings.com/us/straight-talk-apn-settings/
You might try them and see if you get 4G. In my area (mountains of Central Utah), Straight Talk and Tracfone use the AT&T towers. I'm not sure how the legal/contracts end works in other parts of the country.
May try this with my Ulefone Armor 3W

I've been doing research on how to get my Ulefone Armor 3W setup with Straight Talk since I had an issue with my Samsung S9 so I figure it may be a challenge with a phone that's not typically seen on Straight Talk networks (most people have not heard of Ulefone). I don't plan on switching to any phone unless it is android driven os, my wife pulled me from the darkside (i*hone) a few years back and I've never looked back. If there's any other settings you've come across I'd appreciate it though I think I've exhausted all but the dark web of any details on how to setup apn settings on an android device.
My MMS has been broken for a while, and recently I lost 4G with the settings I posted earlier. After a lot of searching I found the following settings that fixed both problems:
Field Setting
APN RESELLER
AUTH_TYPE: None
MMSC http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS_PROXY proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS_PORT 80
MMS_APN_TYPE default,mms,supl
These are from:
Tracfone APN Settings – smartphonematters
Im told that the correct ATT 5G MNC APN settings is 410. Mine reads 280 cant change it. But the app Network Tower Lite reads that I have both. Any thoughts?
