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.

yo,
i've just got my giffgaff simcard (uk) and i've put all the suggested settings in for internet and i've tried the giffgaff app for applying settings but i can't get any data transfer whatsoever.. calls and texts are fine.
if you have solved this problem please let me know how
Jon
Try This
Settings> Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Access Point Names
New APN - Enter only these -
Name: giffgaff
APN: giffgaff.com
Username: giffgaff
Password: password
MCC: 234
MNC:10
APN type: default
This works for me. Hope it helps! Cheers
I'm on giffgaff... when i swapped sim from o2 i had problems with data.
In settings, Access Point Names, there should be one for GiffGaff automatically, if it's not selected, select it, double tap into it, and from menu button, save it.
That's all it took to make it work on mine... running Owains 2.2 floyo 3.6 version.

I don't think there is anything like this for the Moto X on here or I didn't see it.
The goal is to increase you mobile data speeds.
*Disclaimer*
I don't take responsibility for anyone ruining there data settings or if you speeds are so fast you start having addictions and run up your bill.
First, lets explain what the APN is. It is the Access Point Name. Its function is basically a gateway between your phone, the carrier, and the inter web.
There are a few ways to accomplish this. One is adding the APN in your settings, but I had(and read other people too) where the stock ATT APN overrides the one you create.
Option 1) Adding a APN in Settings.
Go to Settings>Under Wireless & Networks click More>Mobile Network>Access Point Names>Click the Plus
Some info on these settings. If there is nothing in the field below, leave blank. Also if the MMS Port set as 80 causes issues, then use 8080.
The Bearer settings will be a hit or miss if it helps you. eHRPD is for CDMA and is just a software tweak used by verizon to help hand off between CDMA and LTE a few years ago. Sprint users may benefit from this since they are rolling out there LTE.
Name: ATT pta
APN: pta
Proxy:
Port:
Username:
Password:
Server:
MMSC: https://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: none
APN type:default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hipri,internet
APN Protocol:
APN Roaming Protocol:
APN enable/disable:
Bearer: Default is unspecified, but you can try LTE if you are on GSM. CDMA can use the eHRPD
MVNO Type:
Click on the menu and save. Click the radio button to select the APN, Reboot your phone, and check the APN to see if it is still checked. If it isn't then use option 2.
Option 2) Removing the APN's and creating one
You will need Root for this to work. 4.4 changed some write settings for 3rd party apps. They have to be installed in the system/priv-app/ folder for this to work.
Either google for APN Backup & Restore or install it from the Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.APNBackupRestore
Step 1) Setup APN App
Option A: If you downloaded the APK.
Then using a file explorer move the apk to system/priv-app/ and install it.
Option B: If you installed it from the Playstore.
Go to Data/App/ and find com.riteshsahu.APN.apk and copy it to your sdcard.
Next using whatever you use to unstall apps, uninstall the APN app.
Then move the apk from the sdcard to system/priv-app/ and install.
I set the permissions to rwx r-x r-x.
Step 2) Backing Up & Deleting Current APNs
Open the app and click the menu button.
The last option is to disable the ICS Check.
Now click on the first options, Backup APNs. A pop up will come up to save the file. Press ok.
If you get a error about the app can't write to the APN settings, then the apk is not installed properly.
Click on the Delete APNs button
A popup will appear warning about deleting them, click ok
Until you reenter a new APN, you will not have Data, SMS, MMS service
Step 3) Install Anycut
Anycut is a app that makes shortcuts. In this case to the Programming menu
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spring.bird.anycut
After you install the app. Do the following
Launch the app and click the button that says new shortbut
Click on Activity
Scroll down till you find the Programming Menu. Click it and click ok to the popup
NOTE: There are 2 listed. Select the 2nd one first. If that doesn't work, then redo the steps and select the 1st one.
Step 4) Create a new APN Via Programming Menu
Click the shortcut that Anycut made
Scroll down to 13 APN Controls. Click APN Config Edit. You should see no APNs listed
Click on the menu and select New APN
Enter the same APN settings from above
There is a setting that you have access to that isn't in the settings option APN. Under the APN Protocol you can select IPv4, IPv6,IPv4/IPv6. From what I read this is experimental and may not improve anything, but tmobile customers may find this working.

I normally would get 5-8 Mbps at my house. With this APN Setup, I get 12-16. I have 2 bars normally. I drove to Walmart after doing this and I got 41Mb down and 13Mb up with full service.
I will add in any credits later,
This is what it did for me. The first screenshot is showing the 41(full service as you notice) then I reverted back to original apn. Those are normal at my house. The last 2 are at my school.

You would have to change the mcc and mcn to your country and network provider.
Actually every outside of att would have to use this. This is the site for worldwide lookup.

hey cart!
This is from a Austrailian site. http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1663451
There are alot of sites that have different setups for each carrier, but not many that explain what they mean. Here are some of them.
The FOTA and MMS are obvious. trying to find info on the admin and internet.
1. Dial Up Network (TYPE_MOBILE_DUN)
This is really old but might be used for some very old networks. Networking Bridge so that the carrier is aware of DUN traffic. It may coexist with default data connections.
3. High Priority Mobile data {TYPE_MOBILE_HIPRI}
A High Priority Mobile data connection. This connection is typically the same as {TYPE_MOBILE} but the routing setup is different. Only requesting processes will have access to the Mobile DNS servers and only IP’s explicitly requested via {@link #requestRouteToHost} will route over this interface if a default route exists.
Below are the APN TYPES that you set in the APN config on your phone.
1. Default (TYPE_MOBILE)
The Default Mobile data connection. When active, all data traffic will use this connection by default. Should not coexist with other default connections.
3. supl (TYPE_MOBILE_SUPL);
A Secure User Plane Location specific Mobile data connection. This connection may be the same as {TYPE_MOBILE} but it may be different. This is used by applications needing to talk to the carrier’s Secure User Plane Location servers for help locating the device
Ok so I live on my phone and need my VPN. the wife surprised me and got a new S5 to replace my old S3. I tried to use the VPN client like i had on my S3 and it wouldnt work. Here is what I did in order to get it to work. Mind you I tried everything and this is what i found that fixed it.
1. go into settings, More networks, Mobile networks, Access Point Names, and hit the + at the top to add a new APN
2. name the APN whatever you want
a. under APN insert fast.t-mobile.com
b. under MMSC insert http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
c. under APN type insert default,mms,supl
d. change APN protocol to IPv4/IPv6 ***this is what it caused my connection to fail, the default APN was set only for IPv6
e. change APN roaming protocol to IPv4/IPv6
Hopefully this helps
I have tmobile when inserted the simcard in my z2 I've noticed that I'm not getting any internet connection so i went to Setting/wireless and networks/internet setting and downloaded all the files then I went to mobile netword and changed it to 4G Tmobile, starting that day I keep losing connection every time I have to go to mobile network and change it manually although it's set on automatic, most of teh times 4g doesn't work and I have to set it to 3g... it's really annoying
In your dial pad type in *#*#info#*#* (numbers for info)
Go to phone info
Scroll down
Select prefered network mode
Select LTE or an option for local with
Go back to your network settings and see if 4G shows up
If not change your mode back to what it was before and call tmobile because they may have to sort some issues out for you

go to your network settings, when tmobile USA shows up with 4G click it to register, once thats done, go back a menu and click on network mode and change it to LTE/HSPDA/GSM (or what ever bands are used in USA)
you should have data connection but 4G depends on how good Tmobile USA Coverage is
You may need to call TMo and ask them to do whatever they do in the backend to reset the phone to network connection. Another thing is to look at TMo support site for the correct APN settings. In my case, data was perfect but MMS would not work because the phone settings were incorrect. Basically, call TMo. They will even email you the settings.
One last thing. Try airplane mode off then on and see it that helps.

One thing I would do, is to call T-Mobile and register the IMEI so they can provision the unit. The settings on their end may have something which is preventing it to connect to it based on a previous phone's capabilities.
-----------------
I had something similar similar but it was with AT&T. In my case, it would not connect to LTE at all as it would stick on HPSA. This was because I had a S3 (UK version), which was only capable of HSPA+, and I had registered the IMEI with them prior.
I had a lot of problems getting my Z2 to work on T-Mobile as well. I finally used the following settings to get everything to work.
Create 2 APNs, the first should have the Following Settings:
Name: T-Mobile
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy: 216.155.165.050
Port: 8080
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/
MMS proxy: 216.155.165.50
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: defaul,supl,admin,dun,mms
APN Protocol: IPv4
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4
Now create a second APN with the following settings:
Name: T-Mobile GPRS
APN: epc.tmobile.com
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Protocol: IPv4
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4
With both of those created, go to your list of APNs and make sure your first one (T-Mobile) is selected.
These settings fixed my problems, hope you get it worked out.

I had a similar issue, is that why my phone doesn't have signal with tmobile cause I have to register the IMEI?

It is likely, make sure the internet/mms settings are downloaded too.
Once the IMEI is registered, they will able to see what phone it is and enable the proper features which the phone is capable of.
I heard it's best to let them know as the IMEI as well because they could flag the unauthorized phones and reject it from being connected the carrier.
Wanted to see if this resolved the issue for anyone else.

** Always make a backup. A full system and personal data backup. At the very least backup personal data just in case something goes wrong, so you still have your pics and vids. **
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.
