Hi all, I have a Tmobile LG G5 that was working fine overall - I'm now visiting in Canada using the phone for roaming (data option enabled) and cellular options work fine but I don't receive data. Found out that I am missing the local carrier APNs and cannot add any - as soon as I put in the MCC and MNC and hit save the entries just disappear taking me back to the APN select page. has anyone come across the same issue? Is there a workaround? Thanks!

I'm trying to add MMS capability to my N1 on TDC Denmark, but after putting in my APN details and pressing "Save" I am returned to the APN list and it remains blank.
Previously I have had this same issue, but the carrier added it automatically so I didn't worry about it. This carrier does not for some reason.
Anyone know a fix?
I am on vacation in Costa Rica and bought a prepaid sim from Kolbi, a local carrier. I can make calls but can't receive texts or access data.
I will need to get MMS working because I need to send a text to the carrier to activate the data feature.
I tried to add the APN for the carrier based on settings that I found online but it never seems to save. After each time I add it the APN list shows as blank.
As a workaround, I was thinking of adding the APN to the APN config file and dirty flashing over the ROM.
I can only use the hotels crappy WiFi so it would be difficult to download another ROM.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Bump. Does anyone have any ideas here? This seems like it might be a long standing CM bug across multiple devices, very frustrating.

Can anyone help me with the APN settings please, I am in the UK, have been in touch with T-mobile / EE who really aren't helpful at all, it would be great to receive & send mms & haven't been able to do so for ages. I do apologise if this has been asked, I did scroll through a lot of pages.
go to settings - access point and activate mobile provider from list (if not activated) restart phone and mobile internet and MMS must working... in most case phone successfully load settings from SIM cards
or manually add new access point....
If seen some situations where the only way for it to fetch the apn for the card is to restore to factory defaults and with the card on the phone choose recomended settings on the first prompt. Try it if all else fails.
The issue is that it the APN database is populated with garbage apns, they don't work at all. First you have to get this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.appando.app.changeApn&hl=en
Yes yes it looks very sketchy but it works around the issue of not being able to get in to the APN settings.
You have to follow these instructions to clear the apns (because you can add new ones but it won't prioritize them if there are the originals):
https://forum.fairphone.com/t/how-do-i-uninstall-an-apn-giffgaff-apn-settings/5834
After that, just go back to the change APN app and create two new APNs: One for mms and one for internet (data). You need to use these APN settings: https://apn.gishan.net/settings/769_20_sprint_apn_settings_for_lg_g3.php (MMS)
https://apn.gishan.net/settings/769_21_sprint_apn_settings_for_lg_g3.php (Internet/Data)
After doing this do you have to toggle airplanemode to get data to kick in after reboots?

Hi all,
This is a strange problem I don't find anywhere. In summary, I cannot create or modify APNS. This is the relevant information:
- I have a Pocophone Global version with MIUI 10.1.3.0.
- I'm using a Lebara UK SIM card with an active data plan.
- Data are available when in the UK but not when roaming in Europe (Spain in particular)
- Data are available with a different phone and the same SIM card and plan.
- It only does not work with the pocophone.
- All solutions I see are to add a new APN with the right configuration.
- In my pocophone there are two APN set by default, and none of they work when roaming (Vodafone UK and Vodafone UK Prepay). The configuration seems fine, although the APN type is set to "default,supl,mms"
- I CANNOT modify the existing APNs.
- I CANNOT create a new APN.
- In the APNs menu the only option is to "Reset to default" but there is no "New APN". I can see the "New APN" button when using a different SIM card, from a different company.
- With other SIM cards in my pocophone I can actually create or modify APNs. In that case I can create or modify APNs, but not with the Lebara UK SIM card.
The only solution Lebara is suggesting is to create a new APN with the correct settings, but I cannot do that in my pocophone. I would really appreciate if someone has some clue on how to deal with it, or if there is an alternative way to create APNs.
Thank you very much to everyone in advance.
Cheers.
U mean data roaming?
go setting ==> Sim cards & mobile networks ==> Data roaming ==> Never to Always.

Thank you for your answer. Yes, I meant data roaming. The setting you mention is already set to "Always". In fact, I did that before leaving the UK, as someone recommended some time ago.
I have tried to link snapshots of the current APN configuration in this post but I can't because I'm new to this forum. These are some of the relevant APN parameters in Edit access point (that cannot be modified):
Name: Vodafone UK Prepay
APN: pp.vodafone.co.uk
Proxy, Port: Not set
username, password: wap
Authentication type: Not set
APN type: default,supl,mms
APN protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN enable/disable: APN enabled
MVNO type: None
I cannot change it, and also I cannot add a new one (the button Add new APN does not exist when this card is inserted, so something seems to be blocked in the phone?). Also, the Preferred network type is set to "Prefer LTE", although I also tried "Prefer 3G" and "2G only (saves battery).
Thank you again.
