Access point name settings not working - please help! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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
java.lang.SecurityException: No permission to write APN settings
at android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:1684)

at com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit.nativeFinishInit(Native Method)
at com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit.main(RuntimeInit.java:264)
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.

[SOLVED] Mobile connection and SMS stopped working after messing with ROMS

Hi guys,
few days ago I've decided to move forward with Fusion Update 7 ROM to Fusion Update 8. Procedure was about normal beside the fact I had also purged SD card. Upgrade went well, but:
I cannot get mobile connection
No SMS can be sent
No matter which ROM/RADIO I had flashed after my previous move everything beside those two is working. So I can get WIFI connection or receive SMS, I can also call and receive calls.
My configuration:
- Hardware: HTC HERO GSM (white)
- Recovery: AmonRa 1.7
- ROM: FROYO_2.2_elelinux_v2.2 (at the moment)
- RADIO: 63.18.55.06OU_6.35.15.01 (at the moment)
Additional info:
- SMSC is set correctly (checked using *#*#4636#*#*)
- APN list is correct
- rollback to vanilla 1.5 ROM from RUU not helped
- other SIM cards from other carriers work the same way
I trying to get some debug information using adb, but only thing I can find is that ppp connection is missing in netcfg.
Do anyone know how to initiate Mobile Connection through adb shell ? or anyone get similar problem before?
Thank in advance,
Problem solved. During messing with ROMS my SIM card must been somehow damaged.
After more tries with other SIM cards my phone started to work finally.
You are missing the correct apn settings for your mobile data and also missing or have the wrong SMS service number, have a search on the forums here, or Google and you should find them. Always worth backing these up or writing them down, as not all rom's have necessarily got all providers son's included.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
Thank you for fast reply.
I checked those before:
SMSC:
- refreshed with *#*#4636#*#* and those looks correctly for my carrier
APNs:
- there where missing fields in APN config which I've updated according to carrier configuration
Still nothing had changed.
I assume that it must be some kind of config that do not change between ROMS.
(I will update first message with those info.)
Did you checked with an other SIM/carrier?
Yes I did.
Effects where the same.
I've also rolled back to vanilla 1.5 ROM from RUU. Nothing changed.
It must be some kind of external configuration that is not changed via ROM replacement. Can this be true?
Thread moved to Q&A.

[Q] Rooting problem, no network service / bad radio?

Hi,
I own the Leagoo Lead 1 (MTK6582 phone) and followed these instructions to root my phone
http://www.needrom.com/download/leagoo-lead-1/
Everything else works, but I have no network service. I tried everything, checking hidden settings (for radio setings), checking correct APN:´s, re-rooting etc.
I can either get the network to work via using "GSM only" (so no data connection and even SMS wont work)
or then using "WCDMA only", only data conneciton, no voice call possibility or SMS/MMS
This is really strange that both voice & data wont work at the same time!
Can someone please instruct me what I could do:
1. try to flash some other radio? I read there are some risks involved with this --> but what kind of radios could I try (I.e.could some HTC or Samsung specific radio work)
- if so, what should I name the .zip file for it to work in recovery (I tried putting one radio file to my external SD and flash it in recovery but it wont do anything)
2. Can I try to flash some random Android ROM to my phone and see if it works? I know this is a big risk but I searched the forum and found some "custom ROM"´s that might work on many devices.
3. Is there some way to edit the radio settings except the very basic options in hidden commands --> radio settings. (i.e. can it be related to me being in Finland vs. some other region?)
Thanks for your help.
Cheers.
Can any of you experts help me on this ?
thank you

[SOLVED] "APN settings are not available for this user"

Hello everybody,
I have a rooted ASUS Zenfone 5 (A501CG), Android 5.0 Lollipop. After my last upgrade (OTA, by the way) I had to perform a factory reset for personal reasons. Since then, I cannot input my APN settings manually. I get the following message: "APN settings are not available for this user". Googling the internetz and searching through these very forums came to no avail. I tried a new factory reset; then, I recursively changed ownership and permissions for /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony (acording to a thread at StackExchange, these files should belong to user radio and group radio, with chmod of at least 660). I also chow'd/chmodded /config/telephony, just in case... Nothing has worked and I still get the same message, rendering my 3G/HSPA+ services unreachable.
I hope somebody has a solution for this!
Thanks in advance!
update: I tried to set my preferred APN manually using ADB, as per a tutorial posted to an Android.StackExchange Q&A called "How do I add an APN via ADB" (sorry, cannot post links yet ). My APN appears in the config as expected, but my data connection still doesn't work, and the same message appears when I try to open the APN settings menu.
another update
I have posted a question at Android.StackExchange. I tried every single procedure as suggested there, without positive results. So far, I have tried the following:
Factory reset
Changing permissions and ownership of telephony-related files
Adding preferred APN settings via ADB
Repeatedly rebooting the device with mobile data turned off and wifi turned on
I couldn't still get telephony files from CM12.1 into my Lollipop device (I don't know how unsafe it is and did not figure out how to install into VirtualBox and transfer the files afterwards).
This is a last and desperate bump to this thread, as there has been a month without access to mobile data and neither solution as proposed have worked so far.
Thanks for your attention!
solution!
sorry if I am necro-bumping this thread, but this time I have the best of reasons:
The latest stock ASUS update (v. 3.24.40.78) solves the problem.
I had to unroot my phone, apply both 5.3.3.3 and 5.2.2.2 downgrades (in this order), then I applied a FOTA upgrade (97Mb download, received and applied automatically). Then I could install the latest version (downloaded from ASUS website; uploaded via USB to phone's internal storage; unplugged USB and then the update could be applied automatically). APNs are available by default, I did not even have to input my APNs manually (as I had to do in prior versions).
Hope it helps anybody else facing the same issue!

Resurrection/LineageOS| IMEI needing restore?

I'm hoping someone might point me in the right direction for restoring cellular functionality on a recently flashed GT-I9300 ?
Essentially what I've attempted to so is up-cycle an old Samsung Galaxy so that my son can communicate with myself and his grandparents on Signal.
System: RR-N-v5.8.5-20180914-i9300-Unofficial
Recovery: TWRP 3.02.1
RR is up and running (and quite slick!!) and generally there appear to be no issues apart from:
- SIM being undetected
- Baseband version: "unknown"
- Settings --> Wireless & networks --> Cellular Networks: APN / Network operators / Preferred network type; these are all greyed out
There's a brand new sim card in it (two others have been tried); I just need a way of helping RR discover the correct settings needed for cellular functionality? I wondered if there might be a modem config file somewhere I could edit - but I've not got that far yet, and I'm not even sure if this would be the right approach. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Hi,
I presume you have no backup of your /efs partition ?
Have you tried another ROM ?

Q - Android 10 Apps loading error

Hi,
Just installed a fresh android Q rom on my Sammy note 9 (exynos; with august security update).
Everything is working properly besides a few local apps that required internet access (which is working properly).
I receive an error message stating that the app "failed to load. Try again later".
Any Ideas how to fix this issue?
I tried restart, power off, reinstall, delete app cache and data. install again but nothing worked.
Maybe the apps are not compatible with the august update (not yet available in my country)?
Also, I can't open Netflix as well - the app installs but when I open it I get an error.
Finally, does anyone know how to make the navigation bar black / dark mode on all apps?
Thanks!
With regards to "failed to load try again later" error:
Contact the developer of the apps in question

Well, waiting for the developers to respond/fix may take ages...
Any ideas on my end?
The cause for the error mentioned is that apps in question try to download ( additional / updated ) resources via Wi-Fi connection from the WEB, what fails.
BTW:
When you have Wi-Fi turned on, your phone automatically connects to nearby Wi-Fi networks you've connected to before. May be these saved networks became invalid. Hence you can try to remove all saved networks, then add a new one.

Gave this a shot.
Re-downloaded one of the apps from the play store only via my data plan (wifi turned off). Still no go...:crying:
