Every time I reboot the phone (a lot of the time after it shuts itself down) The APN setting keeps changing to the wrong APN and I have to manually select the correct one.
There doesn't seem to be any way of deleting the APNs that I dont want to use. Is this possible? Any ideas why it wont remember my default selection?
Discovered this was a network and not a phone issue

I currently have something on the phone not allowing 3g access. I can't seem to figure out what it is, but I believe I narrowed it down to an App. I did a wipe and clean rom install and 3g was working fine. I did a titanium backup restore of all apps with data and now 3g isn't working again. Anyone know of an easy way to pinpoint what is blocking my 3g? I tried ending all tasks in advanced task manager, but I'm guessing the phone would need a reboot to bring back 3g?
Have you check you settings-wireless & networks-mobile networks-use only 2g networks?
ya I tried using only 2g network, I even tried researching the network and it finds tmobile in the settings. I even went as far as getting a fresh sim card prior to wiping the phone. Somehow after an app/data restore from titanium back up, tmobile internet no longer works still. It's why I wiped in the first place.
1) Double check your APN settings in settings > networks > mobile networks
2) In dialer, dial *#*#4636#*#* > choose phone info > scroll down > verify that 'set preferred network type' reads WCDMA preferred.
3) Also in settings, make sure you didnt set 'use 2g only'. Same location as #2 above
Thanks for your help. I actually just did a nandrestore from an image I had that was a week old and internet came back, so it has to of been something I done within a weeks time. I just hope I don't end up hitting the app that stopped it, if I think it was one, because thats the only thing that makes sense to me.
I have your same problem could you be so kind as to attach the img you put so I try too? thanks

Then you will have his phone.
you mean....?
i Think i have a similar problem... I turn 3g on and after half an hour i cannot access the internet anymore... The sign in the notification area shows the "sent arrow" blinking but the receive arrow does nothing... I have apndroid to control my 3g usage... I unistalled it, did a reboot but again the problem persists... Do you have anything in mind???
I forgot to mention that the exact same thing happens with 2g network as well

When someone does a nandroid backup, it backs up all the data on the phone. All of it, if you restore it to your phone, you will be logged into google as him, you will have all his contacts, messages, settings etc. If one of you downloads something, it may download on both machines. The only way to fix it would be to wipe both of them.
i have the same problem. two days ago its working fine. i just turn on turn off the wifi and it just works again.
Can also try turning the airplane mode on/off. This problem occurs if you use APNdroid or similar, or toggle mobile connection on the Desire ROM.
tired of trying and try to wipe, reset, several rom, so I decided to send it to HTC in England ... and the problem is which has the bootloader unlock my ...
So yesterday I noticed I didn't have a data connection. Nothing would work, facebook, internet, google maps, nothing. No data.
So I dig around in the settings a bit. And find my APN was set to inet.bell.ca_off
Obviously the _off shouldn't be there. So I removed it. I also found my APN Type wasn't set, so I set it to Internet + MMS
And then my data started working again.
Does anyone know why or how those settings would have gotten changed? I don't recall doing anything out of the ordinary with the phone around that time.
Maybe I didn't pay my bill and this is how Bell turns off your service?
Thanks in advance for any insight!
that is so weird, it can only be changed manually
i do not know of any way that it can be changed by itself or via remote programmed script
Most phones are able to remotely receive apn settings. Usually a user request and confirmation is required.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Maybe you used a data toggle app/widget to turn it off. Some apps kill your data connection by renaming your APN.
I don't have such a widget installed. When I found I had no data, I tried toggling airplane mode on and off a few times..... but by then the setting must have been changed already.
MMS is acting weird. When Im on 3g I can send MMS and I can receive them. But if someone sends me MMS while Im not on 3g and 5min later I turn on 3g so that it can check for MMS and download it it just wont. There is a message downloading and that it, it doesnt work. Do you know what the problem is?
mms
I have the same issue after update to official froyo i recieve the mms but it just shows downloading and nothing happens i have already used the configuration sms for mms and internet still same :/
and now i discoverred even my camera dont work !
Me too after putting 2.2.1 on fone-read a thread on another forum about the same prob.Some have solved it by deleting the two APN s found in Settings/Wireless and Network/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names and then manually entering them and saving them (this is easily found on your service providers website-check its there first before deleting though)
Didnt work for me though but who knows you may get lucky?

I manually enterd the APN settings but it didnt help I hope there is solution for this, I cant have my 3g on all the time to get mms, my battery will die in few hours
Also if i have Wifi on and 3g on, the dominant is wifi but if MMS comes it doesnt change to 3g and it just says downloading.
anyone has an idea
Got my Thrill last Friday 9/2. Out of the box, it wouldn't connect with data. Spent an hour on the phone with AT&T with no resolution.
I found the APN Settings menu and there was a MEdia Net setting. I noticed there was no user name or password entered. Since this setting was locked, I couldn't change it.
Instead I created a new setup called "Media Net" (lowercase e). I used all the same settings except I used the username [email protected] and password CINGULAR1. Data worked fine after that.
I also noticed that in the APN settings if I set the APN Type to mms,supl (similar to the stock MEdia Net settings) that it locked the fields from editing. So I left this blank.
Anyone else have a similar issue? or find a different workaround?
I'm also disappointed that AT&T has locked us out of using the tethering/ mobile hot spot function.
Is the only solution around that to root the phone?
Coming from WinMo 6.5, the whole rooting thing is new to me.
My data wasn't working for the first few minutes out of the box, but after a reboot I was connecting fine.

Option 2 doesn't require root, although you have to do it every time you reboot.
If you have not seen this thread yet check it out if you are leary of your first rooting bit. I hope it helps.

thanks i followed what you said and my data is working. Only thing is that it runs slower when I changed it to the settings you have. But I rooted my phone and the data stopped working.

I had the exact problem.
Take it to the local AT&T store.
They ended up giving me a new SIM and changing a data plan..
I was on a data plan for Windows phone 7 use and not for Android H+ use.
It doesn't cost more per month, it's still the same rate and usage.. I actually was getting close to my 2G cap for the month, and when they changed my plan it reset my usage ;P
im trying to setup custom apn settings so i can send/receive mms on dzo's froyo. everytime i save it, it goes back to the apn menu with nothing on it. not sure what the problem is.
