Hi,
I think my download speed have gone down a bit for a while. It also coincides with most of my market downloads being broken. The small apps download fine but the bigger apps are always unsuccessful.
To bell users, are you have that problem too? and have you modified the APN settings or are you simply using the ones the ones that the phone automaticaly have. (T-Mobile settings i think)
Thanks
Bryan
I am using the default settings and it seems to be working just fine. Is there any particular app you were trying to download? I can download it and see what happens.

Likewise, everything seems fine for me, though the signal seems to be less.
I thought I was getting lower d/l speeds, and was having trouble with installs with releases 2 through 5, never tried 6 through 7 and all was fine by release 8.

One that doesn't want to work for sure is Google Skymap...cant get that sob to install/download right
Thanks for the time!
According to mobilespeedtest.com, I'm getting between 550 - 690 Kbps and downloads outside of the market seems fast. I think it might be related to the market app only. I'm using proxy.bell.ca as the APN.

What are your full settings for Bell APN?
The only APN setting I used was the setting the APN field to proxy.bell.ca (and the name, of course). I left everything else as default.
Although I don't know if it makes a difference in terms of speed. I was more worried that Bell would start charging me for roaming if I continued to use the T-mobile or Internet APNs (which they didn't seem to be).
What speeds are everyone else getting from mobilespeedtest? I tried the 100K and 1MB file downloads.

What does this do? More apps in Market, allow MMS?
Has anyone on bell been able to install skymap from the market...? It keeps say download unsuccesful...among other apps
just tried myself and same result, install unsuccesful.
If I have a bell vogue do I need to input these settings? I am using the defaults which are tmobile I think and everything seems to be working ok for data.

We should be extra sure about these settings and if they apply for the Vogue because Bell doesn't consider the Touch a smart phone and so most of us have unlimited browsing. With the wrong APN, bell could consider it a PDA and start charging data.
Can someone confirm that the APN for the Touch is pda.bell.ca and not proxy.bell.ca or if it is something altogether different?

Actually, I've tested with mobilespeedtest and it's faster with T-Mobile than proxy.bell.ca. I don't have any issue with any other app (Market, IM, etc.)

I just tried to install skymap just for the heck of it and was able to. It did restart in the middle but I had about 5 apps downloading from the market so I'm not sure if it was Sky Map that caused it. In short, successfully installed and tested Sky Map from Market. Took about 3 minutes from start to finish.
I'm running the dzo Froyo build and 15-07-10.nbh. I've noticed that the Market in Froyo is way slower than Eclair/Donut.

However, whenever I receive a picture, I get a text from [email protected] and it gives me the option to "Download", but nothing happens when I press it. I don't even get a thumbnail of the picture. Just a grey button that says download that appears to not do anything...any suggestions?
I have these all combined in one access point using inet.stm.sk.ca as the APN.
The only difference is the type is unspecified. Works fine for me.
Check your settings in the SMS app. In my rom, I go into the advanced settings section and make sure auto-retrieve is on. This will skip the 'download' button in the message. Also, you must have data on to retrieve MMS... wifi won't do it in my experience.
Hope this helps.
I've been having issues with MMS and downloaded APN Backup and Restore and stupidly accidentally deleted the APN settings without doing a backup. I can't for the life of me find anything about the default settings for a bionic on verizon. I found a couple sites listing verizon settings and have tried adding a new APN with those settings but nothing I do seems to give me 3G/4G back. I'm currently running the latest version of Eclipse. Would flashing back to stock reset the APN settings?
If you have another phone, you could switch to it and reactivate your bionic.
Well i'm about to try resetting to stock and see if that works. I shall try your suggestion if it doesn't.
Won't work...
Hi,
Before you try anything below, I would do a full backup, download the files needed to install Eclipse, do a full factory reset through CWM, and reflash Eclipse. It looks like you were already going to do that, but I just want to clarify that what I suggest below should probably be included in the ROM anyway.
Unfortunately I'm no expert at this, so this comes with the disclaimer that it may not work. I recommend you do a full phone backup and a backup from "APN Backup and Restore" before trying this, although I see no reason why it should be harmful. At worst it just probably wont improve anything... Of course I'm not at fault if this doesn't work or messes things up. All these settings were collected from my phone. My research into this suggests they are not phone specific ( I have a Droid Bionic too though, just to clarify ) , but instead carrier-specific.
There's an application in the market called "APN Manager", start by downloading that, it's free.
Open the app ( shouldn't require superuser ) and go to "APN List" in the bottom menu, open it, scroll down to "Verizon Internet" (there's 2 of them, do one then the other) and open it ( long press, and select edit ). If it doesn't have the settings below, change them to those. If it doesn't exist, go to the "Insert APN" option in the application's root, name it "Verizon Internet" (without quotes) and enter the following (The entry is listed first then the value, the settings are listed in the order I see them, leave anything that's unlisted blank, there's no spaces in any of the values. I put some spaces in the MMSCs because they register as urls to XDA and I've only done one previous post so I can't put urls. For the same reason, you'll have to replace "(colon)" with a ":" and "(dot)" with a ".". Sorry for the inconvenience. ):
Create/modify the first entry titled "Verizon Internet"
APN: VZINTERNET
MMSC: http(colon)// mms(dot) vtext(dot) com /servlets/ mms
MCC: 310
MNC: 004
APN Type: default,mms,dun
Next create/modify the second entry titled "Verizon Internet"
APN: VZINTERNET
MMSC: http(colon)// mms(dot) vtext(dot) com/ servlets/ mms
MCC: 311
MNC: 480
APN Type: default,mms,dun
Next create/modify the first entry titled "Verizon IMS"
APN: VZWIMS
MCC: 310
MNC: 004
APN Type: ims
Next create/modify the second entry titled "Verizon IMS"
APN: VZWIMS

Next create/modify the first entry titled "Verizon FOTA"
APN: VZWADMIN
MCC: 310

APN Type: fota
Next create/modify the second entry titled "Verizon FOTA"
APN: VZWADMIN

Next create/modify the first entry titled "Verizon CBS"
APN: VZWAPP
MMSC: http(colon)// mms(dot) vtext(dot) com/ servlets/ mms
MMC: 310

Next create/modify the first entry titled "Verizon CBS"
APN: VZWAPP
MMSC: http(colon)// mms(dot) vtext(dot) com/ servlets/ mms
MCC: 311
MNC: 480
APN Type: cbs,hipri
Next, enable only the second "Verizon Internet" entry you put in by going to the APN list in the app and tapping it.
Next I would enable airplane mode, wait for it to show up in the notification bar, then disable it. If that doesn't work, I would reboot. If that still doesn't work, I would dial *228 and try to re-activate your phone.
These settings seem to work for me. Hopefully they work for you. Again I'm not an expert with APN settings, but I've spent a good 3 hours researching this... This would seem to be all that needs to be set for APN to work. Again given where these settings are placed ( /data /data / com. android .providers .telephony /databases /telephony.db , without spaces) and that they seem to be carrier specific, not phone specific, all indications are that these should be in your ROMs .zip file, so formatting and reflashing that may be a better idea.
I'm happy to do research into this more if it helps, so if I completely looked over something please just let me know and I can look into it.
Good luck,
jedi453
Note: I apologize to the mods if putting in links as done above is considered wrong. I just spent hours researching and typing this post and since the urls aren't spamming I figure it's ok
Thanks, jedi453!
You saved my life by pointing me in the right direction. The APN list on my Bionic got whacked by a poorly-behaved app, and it completely trashed all my network connections - no mobile data, no MMS send/receive, etc.
I used a slightly different method to restore the default APN list. Luckily, my wife & I have his 'n hers Bionics. First, I installed APN Backup & Restore on both phones. Then I did an APN list backup on my wife's phone, transferred the XML backup file to the proper folder on my phone, and then restored my APN list from that file. Reboot...Voila... all my network connections are working again.
The Verizon entries mentioned in your post are 100% correct, but my method required a lot less typing & editing.
In case anyone else needs to do the same thing, I've attached a copy of the Bionic's default APN list in XML format.
NOTE: this XML backup file is for use with APN Backup & Restore, not the APN Manager app mentioned in jedi's post.

The issue lies in that AT&T has locked the ability to edit the APN Type field. Where you can normal type in: internet,mms,supl,hipri to get your MMS to work they have disabled the option. Those apps will not work. You need to follow the above mentioned comment and edit the system files with the correct settings.

lg g flex d950 att straight talk.apn type work around
1. First pull out sim(do not power down)
2. No apns will be shown as there is no sim but add new anyways.
3. Fill in using all data needed. Input (internet,mms,supl,hipri) for apn type.
4. Save new apn.
5. Turn off and put in sim. Then power on once in.
6. Do not use the new apn type, use the original straight talk apn. (The newly made apn is working behind the first apn.
6. That's it!
For some unknown reason the phone will not open text or MMS messages. I thought since Metro PCS uses T-Mobile's network that there would be no issues. Is there a way to fix this? I can make phone calls and use other features but I can't open MMS messages.
