Yup, this. Copy the APN information down, then just set it up manually if the app doesn't work.

If you don't have a LTE SIM card....usually has a 2 or 5 in the 9th or
10th digit and is sku 73057...and an LTE data plan you can add a second APN Setting and it will work with ICS...you will get 2g,3g, HSPA+, voice and text...but no LTE....
Please reply back if you need settings for it.....

On a HTC Vivid with ICS (And Straight Talk) I'm able to use the web, phone and text. However; I have not been able to send MMS. I can receive, but I cannot send. I updated the APN....
Any other idea?

No problems here with mms on ST on any rom I've tried.
These are my settings for ST on my Vivid:
NAME:
Straight Talk
APN:
att.mvno
MMSC:
http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy:
proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
MMS port:
80
APN Type:
default,mms

I've had straight talk for a week now, mms was working fine until yesterday just quit working, tried a million different settings and still nothing. Thought it might of been the juicedefender app I was using, I deleted but it didn't change anything. if anyone has any suggestions that would be amazing.
When I get a picture i click to download, it attempts and than says download failed.
I'm running holics rom ICS 4.0
thanks

I have having a lot of trouble getting data and mms working on my stock vivid with ICS 4.0.3 on the straight talk network (ATT)
I have tried the standard straight talk settings from their website and probably about a dozen found via the web but none have worked.
Anyone know the secret for the vivid?

[Q] Oh god please help (galaxy s i9000m [bell])

THE MAIN PROBLEM IS AFTER THE NEXT PARAGRAPH
All my problems started when i downloaded an application that was supposed to turn off the lock screen on my phone. After restarting the phone i realized that withour the lock screen it cant start. And so my journey began. As most posts are about the i9000 not the i9000m, it was incredibly difficult to figure out how to do a hard reset, which sucked. After that i figured, hey, why not update to 2.2? I did, using a rom called macnut r12. It didnt work, it would not let me use my sim card for 3g, calling or texting. I tried to reset my phone and it wouldnt work. So what i did was...
I tried to put 2.1 back on my phone, and ended up putting the i9000 version on, not the i9000m version. It's not that bad, except its missing a page of stock applications, wont let me use my 3g for some reason, and i just dont trust it. Does anybody know how to help me? I realize that if i send it in they will probably remove my warrenty and ill be double f***ed.
I used ordin3 v10 btw, so i could fix it with a pit, pda, and phone file.
*edit*
i might have found the solution! when i origionally flashed it i made a recovery using clockworkmods free app. Im going to install it and try to recover!
Personally I would flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845558
if your just looking to get a stock rom thats 2.2 made specifically for the i9000M.
As far as your 3g not connecting , your APN settings are most likly blank. You would have to fill them in manually.
Thanks
Im downloading the files now. If there is still a problem with 3g i will google it lol, but i also typed some code in the dialer and it said network data is blocked (or something along those lines)
...later...
I got it!! now i need to fill out the acsess point name? oh well, one step at a time, i guess.
Worst case scenario, i can just use rom manager to restore 2.1 from a backup (no, im not a moron, all the other firmwares wouldnt let me download it for some reason
i got it!
Its finally over! i got 3g again, thanks bell!
for anyone with the same problem go to settings/wireless and network/mobile networks/access point names menu, new, the first field put in bell and in the second one put inet.bell.ca.

LOL good job!! Although, if you had done a bunch of reading you would have found there are LOTS of information on here for fixing your problem (with the lost APN settings, and lost of internet) and you likely would have saved yourself some stress. lol if all else fails, download and re-install the stock JH2 rom (that came with your phone) and flash it 'usually' works for me!

Glad you got it working again. Just an FYI, that ROM you flashed 'macnut r12' is for the US Vibrant, not the Bell Vibrant. Our phones are more akin to the international version. You need to stick with i9000 ROMs in the future, not from the Vibrant forum.
Glad you got it sorted out.

[Q] [Milestone] question about roms

I have an A854 milestone in Alaska , I treid CYanogens and bugless beast...both run very nice on it...the only problem i see is the APNs are verizon and I can not for the life of me restore the the old ones..it says sucsseful but...i dont have MMS working. I tried manually entering an APN but it doesnt seem to save...if i leave it verizon will i get a huge bill?? my local carrier is GCI...any ideas how to fix?
Have you tried this, open voice dialer and say " open apn " . Select it, then hit menu and hit new apn. Gci apn info is floating all over xda so just input the info in the right fields then hit menu, save, and reboot immediately. Should be bada bing baby!

Did you flash the newest ROM and are you a tmo custy or an at&t custy? BTW... if you read through the entire 3.2 post you'd have found the solution to your problems was setting the APN under Wireless and Networks.

Did that get fixed? I heard people were still having apn issues even after manually setting them. Guess I'm off to wade through that thread!
I am with T-Mobile and I did this last night using the 3.2 post nothing more and the phone was already root with the 2.2.2 upate.
I looked over the APN post but doesnt really explain lot or give details. I know T-Mobile has 3 APN's that they use so maybe I should call them and get the information for all 3 ? I am assuming one is for MMS and the other two are phone/Data ?
Can you text with this device? I have never been able to... Not without some kind of program like Gvoice or something.

Try to get apn settings from the operator and confirm with them maybe through customer care or something.Sometimes backing up apn settings before flashing rom can be useful

Mobile data not working on some apps

I have Motorola Droid Turbo XT1254 Verizon model and I am using it in Asia on a non-Verizon network. Everything including wifi is fine, all apps working but I face alot of problem while using mobile data.
It only works on WhatsApp anf Google maps, I cannot even browse the internet because it doesn't work on Chrome. I tried other browsers but I can only browse the internet using Opera Mini but that has also stopped now. I cannot even call a cab when I am outside because because "Careem", the cab app says that I am not connected to the internet.
The H+ sign appears when I turn mobile data ON and I have also checked with my network operator, there is no issue at their end. They say there is something wrong with my phone.
I don't know where to start the troubleshooting. Can anyone help pl? Thanks in advance.
Someone advised me to check my APN settings. I went to the APN settings and there was nothing there. I first reset it to defaults and then added a new APN according to my network settings and everything is working fine now.
Whenever you put a new SIM, APN settings are automatically sent by the network and saved by the phone but that didn't happen to me so I had to do it manually.
Hope this helps someone someday!

Are you on a custom ROM or stock Verizon Marshmallow firmware? There's another issue with custom ROMs even for people on Verizon, the default is Straight Talk (an MVNO), not the REAL Verizon. (Because S comes before V, alphabetically.) It's an MNVO using Verizon signal, but REAL Verizon customers will often not get messages, get very slow speeds --- and they don't know anything is wrong because nobody ever checks their APNs anymore.

Is your bootloader unlocked? Do u have TWRP?
If yes then just flash clear-modem-status.zip by @bhb27. Search it using xda search.
If No then reflash your stock modem via fastboot. There are tutorials for our device on how to do so.
