Hi, I have tethering (wifi hotspot) problem since jelly bean update, it can connect device through desire connection but Internet would stop right away.
But hey, I fixed it, if you have this problem, you can have a look.
Some TXs have no problem at all, I don't know why I have this problem and many people have problem too on talksony forum.
Mine TX is from china, B screen, now on 1.67 HK.
On ICS, there is no problem but I as soon as I update to JB, tethering stopped.
One thing I noticed is in JB, it comes with a new apn that can not be selected, called "xxx tethering"
(xxx means ISP name, on mine is Rogers tethering, another forum member has "Fido tethering", but he doesn't have tethering problem even tho Rogers and fido are on exact same network with exact same apn setting)
"Rogers-core-appl1.apn vs fido-core-appl1.apn"
If you have this tethering apn, you can modify it to the apn setting that you are using, which is APN, username & password if applicable, and leave everything else blank or default.
In my case, I only modify APN from isp.apn (default) to Rogers-core-appl1.apn, and this is the only field that I need to get internet with my created APN. The important thing is APN type should be DUN and don't change it.
As a result, you have two APN, 1. NEW APN you created to get Internet works and can be selected. 2. Xxx tethering apn with modified setting same as the one you created and can't be selected.
Now, test your tethering with a simple SSID WITHOUT WEP/WPA2. If it works, that you could kindly modify the SSID with security. Yeah.
If you don't have tethering apn at default or you delete it, then you can not have it back until you restore your TX back to factory condition by either flastools, SUS or PCC.

The second is the one you are looking for to fix tethering,
1.You can see that the APN can not be selected (no blue dot/blank).
2.Originally it has isp.apn as the APN address. Now i changed it to the same as my internet APN.
3.It is not normal APN, you can not create one to pretend it is the one.
How does it happen? No idea, some say it could be the firmware detect your sim card and create one at first boot, so this APN works as a bridge at all time with user created APN, hence no option to select it nor deselect it.
Where can you find it?
Everytime i flash 1.67 (i use HK), it will be presented there in APN setting.
I deleted it and it will not come back unless I flash/restore back to factory.
From my research, this affected to SOME carriers even in Europe, the APN appeared with the name of the carrier, and it is not limited to TX only and i found this solution from talk.sonymobile forum.
For me, it's like creating APN for mms -_-
I never heard about thetering APN, since thetering use normal APN
If your APN cannot be selected, it's because this APN normally cannot use as ID to connect data to provider, in example MMS APN
Correct me if I'm wrong
I reported this thread to the mods to move it from the Q&A to the general section because your original post was neither a question or an answer but it is a guide or tutorial which belong in the general section

You are right, I just setup a mms apn and it can't be selected.
But I tried to create the tethering apn by replicate the setting, but unlike mms one, it can be select.
It doesn't work because the APN Protocol and APN Roaming Protocol on tethering apn is "Not Set". (user created apn has to be ipv4/ipv6)
The key setting for tethering apn is your normal internet setting+ APN type "DUN"+ APN Protocol and APN Roaming "Not Set".
If we can find a way to get this setup, then we are good to go.

The funny thing is that the Fido tethering apn appears automatically, unlike the regular apn that needs to be manually added and configure. However, it's not like it will automatically switch to that "tethering apn" either, so I don't get what's the point of it being there anyways.
I don't get why you need to set the apn type though...I know the tethering apn is set to DUN, but normal apn does not require to set anything other than these following steps from Fido themselves:
"APN Settings:
APN: Fido-core-appl1.apn
If you have a LTE device, use the following setting: LTEMOBILE.APN
MMS (Picture & Video Messaging Settings):
MMSC: http://mms.fido.ca
MMS Proxy: 205.151.11.13
MMS Port: 80
Leave the following fields blank: Proxy, Port, User Name, Password, Server
Press the options button on your device, tap on Save in order to save the APN settings."
I didn't set apn type on regular apn, I leave it blank.
I didnt understand either as yours doesn't need to set anything but mine has to rely on tethering apn.
So, my current setup is
Rogers: rogers-core-appl1.apn,
others leave as is or blank.
Rogers tethering:
Rogers-core-appl1.apn
APN type: DUN (default)
APN protocol: not set.(default)
Sent from my LT29i using xda app-developers app
@maxboy
so what you do, it's just change APN type to DUN, right ?
and other value can be set as like default APN ?
or you made some more change ?
My APN list just for internet and MMS
MMS APN set by provider default
And for internet APN, I just fill APN name and APN box
And the rest, I just leave it default
The internet and mms apn set as Carrier. Recommended setting. Refer to your carrier.
The tethering apn modifies to match your internet apn setting.
Except for APN type as "DUN" and APN (/roaming)protocol as "Not set".
By default, tethering apn should have "DUN" and "Not set" so you just don't touch them.
Again, You can not create tethering apn, it has to be the one that created by system and appear after flash/restore back to factory.

Hi,
I just got my Galaxy S (unlocked - the GTi9000 international model), and am trying to set set up my data plan through Fido (Rogers) in Canada.
They provided me with the following:
APN: wap.fido.ca
IP address: 205.151.011.011
WAP homepage: hypertext transfer protocol: // fido.mobi
un/pwd: fido/fido
APN: internet.fido.ca
un/pwd: fido/fido
Dial-up access: *99#
DNS:
Primary: 204.92.15.211
Secondary: 204.92.15.211
However, I don't know where to enter this information, and since it's not a Fido phone, they can't/won't help me.
When I accessed:
Settings > Wireless & network > Mobile networks > Access Point Names
I tried adding both APNs, as well as un/pwds, but don't know where to add the other info? there's fields for proxy, port, MMSC, MMS proxy, MCC, MNC, APN type, and a bunch of others, but none match up with the info Fido gave me. I tried finding the info in the user guide, but no luck.
Any help or assistance would be really appreciated!!! Thanks!

all the other things like proxy, port, MMSC, MMS proxy, MCC, MNC are not cumpulsary to be filled in atleast in my region.. i think its just required to write NAME, and the APN
for example
NAME:-Idea GPRS
APN :-Internet apndroid
go to this website and get the apn name and the details for ur network provider if ur provider is not mentioned in this list you can get the details at ur network providers web page
http://www.flexispy.com/Mobile APN Setting to use GPRS.htm
that link is pretty outdated
is not showing Bell, Telus, and other ones that are also in GSM offering 3G+
for FIDO these are the settings i'm using

Hey, Does you mms work perfectly using those settings? My 3G connection works perfectly but I can't seem to send any pictures or videos. It just says sending the 3g logo on top blinks for a second and that is it.

Thanks a lot AllGamer, awesome settings. But the funny thing is in your pic it does not show the 3G icon next to the bars. But it worked for me. After entering all your info I pressed on the menu key (left to the Home key) and the option to save it popped up. After that I enabled Data Roaming under Mobile Networks and 3G icon showed up right away. I called Fido to find out if I'm gonna end up with the crazy bill next month and was told that I should be careful if I go to the states. Anywhere in Canada there's no need to worry and as long as I am on Rogers/fido network it does not matter if i
I'm in Vancouver or Ottawa.
How long do these usually take to take affect? I've been trying all night to get one of these to work with my Atrix
MMS not working
I bought a samsung galaxy s that was previously locked to rogers. I unlocked and rooted it and currently run it on MTS (manitoba telecom). I cannot send or receive mms thru texting but everything else seems to work fine. MTS tells me if the data works then mms should work but of course, because it's non-mts equipment, i'm on my own. A friend with the same phone on rogers put his sim card into my phone and mms worked fine. Checked apn settings and they match up with what mts says should work.
Has anyone else had this issue? Is mts sluffing me off or could it be my captivate?
Thanks!
hello guys i seem to have a huge problem
i have a rooted galaxy s2
when i edit the access point name (APN)
and click menu then save .. well it doesnt save the list still says no item !!
please help:S
Hey guys, I've had this issue to and have shared this in the past but here it is again.
A lot of people complain they can't send or recieve MMS despite proper APN settings (i.e. calls, 3G working fine) after flashing a new rom.
The solution is very simple.
Just go to your phone's APN settings and delete ALL the extra settings except for the one that your phone needs to use. I've had this issue repeatedly where there were like 5 settings. ALL YOU NEED IS THE ONE SETTING i.e. delete everything else.
For eg. for me since I am on Rogers, in Canada my APN settings only list Rogers MMS as my APN and nothing else. When I had flashed the rom I had 5 settings there, I just deleted the others. MAKE SURE YOU DON'T delete ALL of them, unless you know your APN settings.
Another quick reminder, APN (access point names) settings in ICS are found in "More" under Wifi and Bluetooth in phone settings and in there click "Mobile Networks" then "Access Point Names"
Cheers
Hi,
Phone rooted and using TrickDroid ROM. When I ran the setup configuration only my parent network was available (on T-Mo UK and only had the option of choosing EE).
This worked fine for data although I couldn't send MMS. I've added an additional APN for MMS which I believe to be configured with the correct settings however in the APN options I can't deselect the original APN for MMM e-zone as it shows the padlock icon.
Does anyone know how to unlock this APN so I can use the newly added settings for MMS?
I have the same problem on stock.
I added a new APN for my carrier's MMS. saved it, but can't select it or deselect the original.
Would really love it of someone could resolve this as its driving me cwaaazy

You should be able add a -new- APN, then once saved, you can set the new APN active. Just name it something different from the default APN.....like MY_ATT_APN or something.
If you continue to have issues, I'll check my friends X to see exactly how I did it. I put his AT&T Moto X on H2O wireless (which requires adding an APN).

I have add a new apn and saved it. After a while I went back to check the setting, the new apn is still here, but the system choose the old apn automatically. Can I detele the old apn or force the system fix in new apn?
1155
I find the method. It needs to type "default" in the "apn type" otherwise the system will change to old apn itself.
Good morning folks. I am experiencing trouble sending/receiving MMS. I have tried all the APN settings I have come across and never had them pushed to my device when it was activated. I do not recall always having such difficulty, tho I do remember that some peoples MMS would not come through, while others would. Recently, I have realized that I cannot send or receive any messages. I am using FireKat currently. Think if I reflashed to stock and did the setup process the way cricket describes, I would have the settings pushed? Thanks for your time.

Device Requirements
Your device must be unlocked.
You've finished the activation process and inserted your Cricket SIM into your device.
Android Configuration
You should get new Cricket settings automatically pushed to your device after you insert the Cricket SIM, but if for some reason you need the Manual Configuration instructions (also called APN settings) they are listed below.
Tap*Settings > Mobile Networks (or Mobile Data) > Access Point Names > New APN*(may have to tap Menu button to see this option).
Enter the following APN info:
Name: Internet
APN: ndo
Proxy: Not Set
Port: Not Set
Username: Not Set
Password: Not Set
Server: Not Set
MMSC: mmsc.aiowireless.net "add http : // "
MMS Proxy: proxy.aiowireless.net
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 150
Authentication type: Not Set
APN type: default,mms,fota,hipri,supl
Note: on the above APN type be sure to enter it exactly as it is listed& don't include any spaces!
Tap*Save*for the new APN.
Go back one screen to the APN list and tap the dot to enable this APN.
Reboot the device.Test data and MMS.
On our phone you tap settings , connections tab, more networks , mobile networks, Access point names , then tap the + symbol in the upper right corner to add a new APN.
The apn type line is most likely where your errors are but check all the lines of your custom apn for typos.
I was told at"walmart" by a unhelpful salesman that a at&t go phone zte z998 wouldn't send mms on straight talk and it was the apn type line that was the problem not the phone. The problem was just poor documentation. Cricket wireless web page was no better so I cleaned it up for you. Several of the lines were run together on their webpage so you probably have errors in your apn
As far as cricket pushing the correct apn to your phone don't hold your breath. If that was going to work it would have already done so.
Go over your apn again find the typo's correct them and it should all work.
Good luck
dlradlt, thanks!! I'll try these again, tho I have tried then previously. I have an AT&T Phone APN that is not able to be deleted. However, that isn't working for me. Think it has anything to do with the ROM?
settings from cricket wireless page
I doubt its the rom.
Cricket wireless uses at&t so it should work fine. If you're able to make phone calls then it's probably the apn because your already on the network.
I am a month late chiming in but I just wanted to say I have an UNLOCKED Galaxy Note 4 and I am on Cricket .. I used these settings and everything is working perfectly. diane

I use cricket and these are the ones I found on their website, but did not work for me on any device. I finally got sick of losing them every time I flash a new ROM so wrote them down and they are for sure different than these. Also there are 2 separate APNs. One is not selected but needs to be on there or MMS doesn't work.
Note 3 APN
