I can't use cellular data because I am unable to add an apn.
I get a message saying "Access point name settings are not available for this user"
I am using dot os nougat which is based on lineage 14.1 I think
And my carrier is "We Egypt"
I used the same sim card on another phone and it worked
Thanks in advance
Ok there is no issue to begin with
the message is misleading you can add apns anyway
I don't know what to do with the post now

I used the 2.40 unlocker
I flashed my xv6800 with Radio 3.35.04 and ROM 3.35.651.2
I preformed a soft reset prior to Sprint Customizations
Phone booted no problem
Dialed *228 Option 1 - Worked Phone incoming/Outgoing Works Fine
Dialed *228 Option 2 - Worked Phone Reports PRL Version 51056
Phone shows a Sprint PCS Connection, tried to delete, wont delete, don't think this is a problem
Added a Verizon Connection and chose it as default
Verizon Connection -

Any ideas?

I'm having a similar issue but with dcd 3.2.0 and radio 3.42. I've made my own connection with the correct info and I get the same error... I'll be interested to hear any solutions/suggestions.
try ##778 then send or # depending upon the rom.
go to view , security. in there check your usernameand password. normally password is dec esn of your phone.
Did you run the Verizon Carrier cab? I bet you didn't. If not, then the phone doesn't have the encrypted handshake code or whatever it uses to access the data network. Run the Verizon carrier cab and reboot the phone and see if it works then.
Tried....
Got rid of the Sprint connection, all setting appear correct, same error though

even if you ran the carrier cab once, you are supposed to run it again after activation someone said if you were having data issues.
if that still doesn't help, you may need to manually add/edit your shared secret keys for the data.
Please read this thread and see if it helps:

Im sorry, I mean I tried it after you suggested it, after activation (*228 is activation, correct?) Im going to check out the link, thank you

I'm following the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575749 for flashing the evo 3d to page plus from sprint. currently i have the phone rooted with s-off running meanrom. under the instructions it says you need to enter the MSID on the phone and if you don't have it to call your service provider. I called page plus and they say that they can't give me a MSID without the phone being activated on their service. I'm not sure what to do next. Do I give them the new ESN and have the change the service and then will they be able to give me the MSID or is there another method to do this?
Thanks for any help.
Edit: i'm currently on page plus with a old lg 9100 and the phone i'm trying to flash is a sprint phone that has never been activated.
second question: the apn backup and restore app says that APNS cannot be restored or deleted on this device because android 4.0+ does not allow 3rd party apps to write apn settings. what should I do to get this to work. i have the phone rooted with s-off currently running meanrom. should i put a different rom on there?

Have you flashed the page plus prl yet? If so you need to call them and give them your esn number. I believe the msid is for if you want to port your number over first before you call page plus. If you followed the guide to a T up until the apn part. Even though apps won't allow you to write to the apn, its ok because all your gonna do is delete and restore. Put your phone in airplane plane mode. Delete your current apn, click restore apn chose the page plus one. Disable airplane mode and reboot. I hope this helps you.

thanks, for the input. i'm going to try this a little later today.
so just an update for anyone who might stumble onto this thread. I figured out the steps: (Thanks Jsparta26)
After I flashed the prl, I called page plus and they activated the ESN. The MSID was the same as my phone number. Phone still didn't work, so i reflashed the PRL and then the phone was working. I didn't need to delete the APN, it was just working after. Now phone works for calls and 1x data. no MMS yet, got to figure that one out.
thanks for the help.
Your mms is also included in the apn file. Try the delete and restore method to see if works for you

I'm getting the message: Unfortunately APSs cannot be restored or deleted on this device because Android 4.0+ does not allow 3rd party apps to Write APN settings.
The Options in the Program are: Backup APNs, Restore APNs, Delete Backup Files, Delete APNs, and Donate.
Not sure what to do from here.
Ignore the part of backup, delete and restore. I was able to do this with an aosp rom and should work with a sense rom. You just cannot write to the apn file. Make a backup of your original apn, delete the current one, then restore using the page plus apn file and reboot. It should work. If not then manually copy it the apn file with a file explorer into your sdcard and take the page plus file and paste in the original location of the file and reboot. Let me know if that works.COLOR="Silver"]

[/COLOR]Which app are you using? Well if it don't work then I have another solution. Do you happen to know the settings of page plus's apn settings? Also do you know your msl code? If so, then open up your dialer and type ##3282# and punch in your msl code under edit. Once your through click on advanced and scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click on mmsc settings. If you know the settings you can manually input the settings in their correct spots. Once you do that hit commint changes or modifications at the top of the screen and hit reboot

I think I figured it out. In the settings for the program there is an option for "ignore ICS". i selected that and was able to delete and restore. looks like mms is now working, but it still shows 1x data.

yeah, 1x not so good.
Well I am glad that you got mms working. Not sure about the 1x signal, it could be a cell tower issue, not enough cell towers or that page plus's network is low priority. Have you flashed the latest page plus prl?

plenty of cell towers here, so that shouldn't be a problem. i'll try and flash the other prls and see what i get (right now i'm running the one from the main thread included in the rar). in the main thread i think there were problems with people not getting 3g. if i can't solve it with the prls, i'll have to comb through that thread for a solution.
Thanks for your help.

No problem. Just keep this in mind. Check to see if your radios are up to date on page plus's firmware. People used to have that problem when they went flash happy with the vm ruu ics leak back in may and messed up their phones with the dreaded 1x signal. Just something to think about. Good luck.
Hi, so before I go out and purchase a new SIM I was hoping someone could help me. Originally I was trying to alter the MMS port set in my APN because MMS was failing over wifi due to running Adblock. In doing so I somehow managed to erase my Internet APN. I believe it was just set to vzwinternet.
So on my lg g3 I unfortunately have no way to add an APN, it works fine for wifi and calls still but I have no cellular internet at the moment. The only option when going to APN settings is Reset to Defaults, which does nothing as it just shows "No APNs". The mobile networks option is actually greyed out under Settings->Wireless & Networks->More... but I'm able to get to APN Settings still by using an app.
Possible solutions I've thought of, does anyone knows if these are possible?
A) Is there any way to edit my build.prop to allow me to add an APN such as "ril.sales_code=LOL & ro.csc.sales_code=LOL" (I've tried this it doesn't work).
B) Is it possible to re-add it by replacing apns-conf.xml in /system/etc/ ? If that is possible could someone post theirs so I can replace it?
C) Are there any root apps to allow me to add an APN? (from my research there aren't any since android 4.0)
Or am I just going to have to go out and get a new SIM? I've already master reset hoping it was software related and that hasn't helped.
EDIT: Nevermind guys fixed it by doing a reflash back to factory with lg flashtool. Nothing to see here *whistles*
Hi Jab
I met the same issue.
Could you please tell me how to reflash back to factory?
Thank you
You need to root it, and use shortcut master to open APN setting, same case with my US Cellular G3

Hi. Go to:
Mobile network/access point name/preferred network.
There go to your network.
First your network tab is empty.
Now... Press menu button ... New APN.
Create your APN and do your network settings according to your ISP.
Here is one link with settings:

Good luck.

Hi,
I have a problem with my Xiaomi Mi5 phone and a new sim card.
LineageOS version: 14.1-20171205-NIGHTLY-gemini
With the new sim card I can only call and text, but there is no data - I cannot connect to the internet (only wifi). The sim card works in other handsets.
I called the provider and we tried to manually set the Access Point Name (APN), but we failed.
In the APNs settings I see the following message: "Access Point Name setting are not available for this user".
When I try to edit access point (3 dots and +) and try to save the new settings, it also fails - there is no profile/access point name.
I already did the following:
- factory reset
- updated TWRP
- updated my firmware to the latest Dev version
- flashed the latest LOS built again (I had the latest update before)
- flashed the previous LOS built
Nothing helped.
I decided to root my phone and follow this quide: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/117125/how-do-i-add-an-apn-via-adb
When I try to get the list of carriers I see the following error:
Error while accessing provider:telephony

Is there any solution to my problem?
Please not that it's the first time I rooted my phone, so I count on your understanding
I really feel like I am out of options.
Thanks
I just flashed the latest MIUI 9 global stable version and it's the same. Still no data, still cannot add/save APN
I feel hopeless.
