Hi guys,
I tried to register my simcard automatically, however this failed, so next thing I did was to register APN manually.
Ive got all the correct data from my provider.
However upon saving the APN, it simply doesn't get saved, and the screen goes back to Access Point.
In the accesspoint there's only "SmarTone."
Anyone an idea how I can add a new APN ?
PS.
Simcard is working fine, tested it in a sony xperia z3 compact.
Update: Just saw that my phone is trying to connect to T-mobile, which is incorrect, they use other data and I dont use T-mobile.

Hi all,
Long time reader & proud owner of the ST15 (upgraded from the X10 Mini!!).
I'm unable to use data via the mobile network as I cannot save an APN configuration.
I have tried:
- creating a new APN with all the correct details, but when I hit save...it doesnt show up in Access Point Names...(saves it in a hidden menu).
I did however download an APN off/on app via wifi which actually showed all the apn configs I can not see in Access Point Names...when I turn the access point ON via this app/widget the data still does not work :'(
- I have also tried a factory restore on the handset and also applied the firmware via the SE deskstop software to no avail.
Any further suggestions? When I get back home I'm going to root it
- I have also tried to obtain the settings from the Sony Ericsson > Internet Settings submenu to no avail with+without WiFi.
(apologies for the double post, got an error saying not enough characters...).
What model is yours? St15i or st15a? Who is your carrier? Correct me if i missed anything.

Model is ST15i (is there a difference between ST15 & ST15i??), carrier is in AU, handset bought from HK/China(?)
Australia uses 850 don't they? maybe depends on carrier. If you have sk17i, that covers 900/2100 band wich i dont think telstra (popular in au) cover at all. Are you with telstra?
To comment further the mini comes in either i (international) or a (america) has far as i know.

Hi All
I found the fix..
talk.sonyericsson.com/message/96845
I disabled Lock SIM card, then obtained the settings via Sony Ericsson > Internet Settings submenu and it worked.
I have re-enabled Lock SIM card and all is well
Awesome glad it'd work for ya cheers

This is a problem that stems from very specific types of SIM cards (no, not all SIM cards are equal! )
The only known fix so far is the one ST15 found: Disabling SIM card PIN request (and should you need to, enabling it after the APN's have been added).
Well done for solving your own problem
I have same problem with xperia mini pro sk17i, firmware 4.0.A.2.335. APN not saved when sim pin is enebled, when sim pin is disabled all is ok

I have never been able to get into Sony Ericsson > Internet Settings, it says it will download the setting but then a connection error message shows up, even if I'm on 2G/3G which works fine with other apps Is there any workaround for me?

Had same problem and fix it by turning sim pin of and then ordering internet parameters from provider. After delivering there vas no apn memorized in phone, so i turn it of and turn it on...THATS IMPORTANT IF YOU WANT APN PROFILE TO Be MEMORIZED IN MOBILE. If you dont have automatic delivery from provider, you make manualy your own internet profile with APN and then turn of phone and turn it on. That helped me...hope help you to...
yeah. this happens to on my mini pro. even after downloading the settings on se>settings>internet
hi there
my gf bought a htc legend when we were living in australia on vodafone network and all worked fine.we have just come back to the uk and have put a new sim in on 3 network.it will make calls text and conect to wifi but will not allow data traffic it just says connecting on the mobile data tab but never does.the sim card allows data has i have tried it in my phone.
any ideas of what i need to do,is it because its from australia,will it work over in the uk,should it,or do i need to do something to the phone to allow data,
any help would be good.
thanks
is the phone unlocked? can it run another sim other then the vodafone one?
or in youre new location youre still on vodafone network?
most likely the phone doesn`t know how to configure the apn for the data
google your network`s android apn and go to settings wireless networks mobice connection set apn create a new one or change the existing one while the phones mobile connection is turned on
Yep, I can confirm this problem may be fixed by identifying and filling in your APN for your network.
I had the same problem, as well, this fixed it.
Thanks allot for the help guys, done it and it works fine now.

I just got my z5c. Got everything working with the help of tmobile, but I had to manually enter my APN settings.
On my Samsung, there used to be a ton of APNs there. On Sony there were none, and now only one.
After manually entering the tmobile settings, I tried the 'download settings for Internet and MMS' , but that didn't net any new APNs.
When I delete the manually entered APN, I cannot download internet settings.
My Samsung had a button to scan for APNs (though I was running cyanogenmod most of the time). How do I scan for new APNs dynamically? I travel to other countries, and would like the phone to hop networks like my old one did.
What carrier are you trying to use? I just entered T-Mobile's manually and it worked fine.
See this list.
When I first got my z5c, I first connected it to the wifi, then downloaded the internet/messaging services automatically. Worked on the first try, Straight Talk/ATT. I don't know about hopping networks, but I think the APN needs to match up with the sim card.

My smartphone won't log in to my network. It recognizes my SIM - I have to enter my PIN - but doesn't log in. I can manually search for and select the network, but the registration still fails.
The SIM works in my other phone. I've already tried resetting the phone and flashing the firmware.
I'm using a Sony Z3 (didn't post in its sub forum because I think it's a general Android issue).
Can anyone help me out here? Thanks.
Edit: It doesn't log in at all aka no bars. Also, I've noticed it will only find my network when I turn on LTE, Not GSM or 3G. Not sure if that's relevant though, might just be bad coverage.
Hey guys, I really need help here. No one has anys ideas?
I've pretty much narrowed it down to the phone not recognising the GSM/WCDMA bands since the factory reset in the MM beta. Is that even possible (if so, any way to verify?)? If that's the case, any way to re-enable the bands? Thanks.
Hi guys!
I just got an unlocked Sprint variant of G8X and realized that it does not let me change the default APN. I am currently on Mint Mobile but the phone recognizes it as a T-mobile and loads a default APN of T-Mobile (fast.tmobile.com) automatically. While Mint Mobile works with this automatically selected APN, I noticed that I am unable to send/receive MMS.
I was able to add a new APN, but I could not select the new one as the default APN. The existing default one has all fields greyed out so I can't edit it either. I never encountered such issues with my previous Android phones, so I got no idea what to do.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi, I had the same greyed out APN issue, LG is killing me. Here's what I did. Hope it works for you. P.S. make sure your VoLTE is off, it screwed with my SMS.

Thank you for the idea, but it didn't work in my case, unfortunately. As soon as I remove the activated sim (Mint), I get kicked out of the APN setting. And when I insert a non-working sim (in my case, Sprint), the phone automatically loaded the APN for Sprint. Then when I swap the sim back to Mint, the phone loads the APN automatically again, but I am still unable to edit it.
I think I will have to sell it off.
