Doubt about APN - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello;
first: sorry for the (provabilly) dumb question...
when I check APN list on my phone, depending on the simcard I use, I see the APNS for that specific carrier.
I understand this is detected by the MCC MNC codes on the simcard.
my question is... in this list of apns, some carriers have more than one APN for the same mnc mcc codes, (and same apn type default,supl)...
so how do the phone chose the right one from the list? or just take one randomply as long as MNC MCC matches?
thanks!

Android: Possible solution for non working DATA in Eclair Builds

Hi,
I don't know if this has already been written on another place in this board but i think this could be an interesting information for all "Nike-Android" people...
After trying a lot of Vogue-Eclair builds on the Nike, i often had a good working system, but couldn't get DATA to work. While playing with Myn's new Eclair, i found out that the reason for a non working DATA Connection are often wrong values for MCC and MNC in the APN Settings. This is especially the case, when you are not from the USA.
I've attached an Android APN List (XML Format) which can be used to find out, which values are correct for your country. (Maybe your provider is already in this list anyway..)
So if you're in germany (like me) set MCC to 262 and MNC to 03 and of course the other entries for your provider.
But there seems to be another problem with this. As soon as you have changed that values, the APN disappears from the APN list. Obviously the APN is still there but it is not shown. So i did the following...
- Enter name, apn, username and password. Then SAVE the APN and activate it.
- Select the APN again and set your values for MCC and MNC and save again.
After that, the APN can't be seen anymore, but it's still there. After a Minute or so, you should see the DATA Icon in your notification bar.
Using this, i also got 'Incubus Super Eclair Lite' running here on my Nike.
In spite of all that, it's curious that everything changes to the language of your coutry after you've got the first connection to your provider, but not the Settings Tab. I'd guess that this has something to do with the DATA Problem.
Anyone who has an idea, why the Settings Tab always stays English ?

[Q] Virgin Mobile MMS Settings

I updated my phone to the 2.2 unbranded ROM and without thinking I did not copy down the APN settings first. I was able to find the settings to connect to the 3G network on Virgins website but I can not find the Canadian MMS settings anywhere. Does anyone have a stock rom or the MMS settings? They would be greatly appreciated!
You probably already figured this out, but I'm going to post these anyway for people finding this thread through google.
The following APN settings and MMS settings will work for Virgin Mobile Canada:

Help Straight Talk not working!!

Hi all I need help. I had straight talk working on my Galaxy Note 1717 and then all of a sudden it stopped working altogether. I do nto know what to do. I tried resetting APN but it now wont let me.

Try entering APN settings manually. Create a new one with these settings.

For some reason it wont let me change the APN settings. That is part of the issue. It was like it worked for a day and then stopped. Strange.
So you tried adding a new one, and it won't let you? There's a default one you won't be able to change.
Okay I figured out how to do the apn. HA HA! new at this. I did as you said and put in those apn settings in my phone and it is not working. Argh!

Well I'm glad you figured out how to enter a new APN. Sorry it didn't fix your issue though.
Once you added the APN, did you save it, then select it so the lil dot next to it is green? You probably did but I'm asking to make sure. Sometimes rebooting and double checking the new APN is still selected helps.
Did you install any apps or make modifications in any way prior to your service issue?
One final dumb question for you. Are you sure your bill has been paid up to date? Just checking.
Is it possible that you can try your SIM card in a friends device to eliminate the possibility of a bad SIM card?

First off the sim card works it has been tested, I went to update but it said it was up to date. I have a prepaid st card which I hace 30 days left. Now. yes I saved it and set it the apn. my phone says, " Not provisioned that is crazy!! Argh this is a pain.
Update! Okay I took my phone into a repair shop with the active sim. The phone was fine and should of worked with the active sim. They tried the active sim in another phone they had and it did not work. The sim was a bran new sim card and it was the second st sim I had been through. So something is very strange it is the weirdest thing why the phone is not working on the sim cards. I called Straight talk and they told me I had to call after 24 hours because it can take up to that time for the service to be configured on the phone. I was ticked because it has never taken that long for a sm to activate.. So I am sooooo tired of this company and all these sim issues. So I am thinking of switching companies now.
here are the apn settings i use:
Name Straight Talk
APN tfdata
Port 80
MMSC http://mms-tf.net
MMS Proxy mms3.tracfone.com
MMS Port 80
MCC 310
MNC 410
APN Type default,mms,supl

RingPlus APN fix - 4g LTE - SPH-L720 - Galaxy s4 Cyanogenmod 13 - Marshmallow 6.0.1

Wanted to see if this resolved the issue for anyone else.
APN for Sprint and RingPlus listed at bottom of post

New Provider: RingPlus
Custom Recovery: TWRP

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.
