Hi Everyone,
T-Mobile/Moto E user here, and I was having significant connectivity issues with my device. You see, One second I'd have HSPA, which would tick down to 3g, then tick down to edge, then, soon after, disconnect completely.
I don't know if location has a bearing on this, but I do like in Southern California.
Now, I tried numerous troubleshooting methods which range from replacing the sim, to talking to T-Mobile and Motorola tech support. Fortunately, one of the T-Mobile CSRs suggested I tweak the access point network, which ended up working out
OK, So here is what I did.
1. Go to Settings>Mobile networks>Access Point Names
2. Create new APN
3. Input the following (bold are the main changes)
Name - T-Mobile US Moto E
APN - epc.tmobile.com
Proxy - Not set
Port - Not set
Username - none
Password - ****
Server - wap.voicestream.com
MMSC - http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy - 216.155.165.50
MMS port - Not set
MCC - 310
MNC - 260
Authentication type - Not set
APN type - default
APN protocol - IPv4
APN roaming protocol - IPv4
APN enable/disable - APN enabled (greyed out)
Bearer - Unspecified
MVNO type - None
MVNO value - Not Set (greyed out)
4. Hit menu>save
5. Select T-Mobile US Moto E as new APN
And, just like that, your phone will have significant better connectivity.
Have a great day!

Trying to set up my new X10 mini pro for service on ATT USA. Running into some setup snags.
Have already rooted!
Model is U20i
Have network mode set to GSM / WCDMA preferred
Network operators setting has ATT and ATT DR available. WILL NOT let me select ATT only DR - if I try ATT it says "your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
How do I get off of ATT DR and onto ATT?
Under APN I put in:
name - att
apn - wap.cingular
proxy - wireless.cingualar.com
port - 80
username - not set
password - not set
server - not set
mmsc - http://mmsc.cingular.com
mms proxy - wireless.cingular.com
mms port - 80
mcc - 310
mnc - 410
apn type - not set
Should I be worrying about data roaming? Im fairly certain thats what the DR in att dr stands for. I understand if 3G isnt possible. But data roaming.yikes.
Have you checked what operator the sim gives you in a 2G only phone? You sadly wont be able to get 3G, you'd have to track down a u20a variant for that.
mods, if this is in the wrong subforum please move to the correct area.
right i had an interesting problem today, i took off wifi and lost my data connection completly.
so heres ho to rectify this if it happens to anyone else.
please not these settings are for a uk vpad7 (it mite work with the vpad10 but im not guarenteeing it)
firstly you need to navigate to the APN settings to get there
menu>settings>wireless & network>mobile networks>access point names
now your in the apn setting menu, select the top box (O2 mobile web, underneath the bold heading it will say mobile.o2.co.uk <<< this is incorrect)
so go ahead and click to get into it.
there will be multiple settings, most of these will need editing.
Name - leave as is
APN - payandgo.o2.co.uk
Proxy - leave as is (if still not working change to Not set)
Port - leave as is (if still not working change to Not set)
Username - payandgo
Password - password
Server - http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
MMSC - http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
MMS Proxy - 193.113.200.195
MMS Port - 8080
MCC - 234
MNC - 10
Authentication type - leave as is (if still not working change to Not set)
APN type - default
once again these are the setting for getting mobile internet to work on the vpad 7, with these settings i now have a H (indicating i have a hsdpa connection) and a full signal bar in the notification area.
Ok so I live on my phone and need my VPN. the wife surprised me and got a new S5 to replace my old S3. I tried to use the VPN client like i had on my S3 and it wouldnt work. Here is what I did in order to get it to work. Mind you I tried everything and this is what i found that fixed it.
1. go into settings, More networks, Mobile networks, Access Point Names, and hit the + at the top to add a new APN
2. name the APN whatever you want
a. under APN insert fast.t-mobile.com
b. under MMSC insert http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
c. under APN type insert default,mms,supl
d. change APN protocol to IPv4/IPv6 ***this is what it caused my connection to fail, the default APN was set only for IPv6
e. change APN roaming protocol to IPv4/IPv6
Hopefully this helps
Wanted to see if this resolved the issue for anyone else.

Started with FreedomPop ROM. Switch to RingPlus. Activated service and updated PRL. 4g and mms were working at this point. Flashed to cyanogenmod 13 and I could make calls but not use 4g. If it set it to 3g in Settings -> Cellular Network Settings -> Preferred Network Type it would work without issues.
I flashed back to my FreedomPop ROP and updated PRL and Profile. Rebooted. Flashed back to CM13. Still no 4g.
Next I used oden 3.09 to flash stock 5.0.1 Lollipop ROM L720PUGOK3. Took forever to download and had to flash 3 times before it completed. Once setup, I updated PRL and Profile again. Rooted and installed TWRP. Flashed back to CM13. Still no 4g.
Tried to select APN from APN list in settings expect there is no APN list settings anywhere.
Tried to manually edit APN list but was not able to find a great details on how to modify the APN file. Its an XML file and it seemed too risky to manually edit with the lack of a good guide.
Next I used Change APN app. No APN's were listed so I manually entered in RingPlus APN. No APN was added to the list but I rebooted the phone. Still no 4g.
Next I installed Offline SIM APN Database. Selected, Search APN settings for this SIM. It informed me I had two APN's on my device. Both named Sprint World with the same exact settings. I selected one. Then I selected the third button from the top named Go TO Android APN Settings. Again, the APN list was blank. I selected the three dots or options button and selected Reset To Default. It asked permission to reset to the default APN. Immediately the 4g symbol showed up. Data was now working on 4g. I rebooted and 4g was still working.
I don't know if all or just some of the steps caused it to work. I'm not to eager to replicate the situation. If anyone is having the 4g issue and they have tried everything, please try these steps and let me know if it worked. Honestly, I think just doing the last step of resetting the APN to default just might fix it. IDK.
I would have just flashed to stock but CM13 is cool and small.

Hi all,
I know there are a few different APN settings for the three network in the UK, could anyone post here what they have or have adjusted On theirs?
Background info.... until April I had an old note4, that I used for tethering my iPad etc too that three couldn't monitor how much tethering I did on it. Unfortunately it died and I bought the S8 in April.... newer software etc meant that three could now monitor the amount and stopped me at 4gb (despite my offering to pay more or change to a newer contract that offers up to 30gb tether they said no).
Desperately searched the internet and found a thread that someone put their 'adjusted' APN setting on.... tried it and success unlimited tether.
Last week a repair at phone store and they accidentally wiped all my settings!!!! I'm gutted now as I forgot to write them down and am unable to find the APN settings again.
So any settings/advice/tips appreciated (feelfred to message if preferred)
Thanks
