Hi folks,
I'm running 2.24.161.1 (4.2.2) with vodafone branding.
My One cannot get APN settings from the provider, it never could, so I manually configured the APN for my default network, which works.
I was in Spain recently and I wanted to roam a little, but as my mobile cannot get the settings from the provider I tried to manually configure the APN again, this is where I ran into my problem.
I can create a new APN, I can change all settings as I need them and I can save it and activate it. However this only works as long as the MCC is set to 262. When I tried to configure MOVISTAR APN with MCC 214 and tried to save it the APN was just gone.
I don't get any errors or whatsoever. I can modify the APN and save all changes as often as I want, but trying to save an APN with MCC not set to 262 results in the APNs disappearance, its simply gone from the list. This also happens when I modify an exisiting APNs MCC value and save it - the APN will be gone from the list and I have to recreate it.
Is it likely to be a problem with the branded software version? I like the One as it is otherwise, I see no reason to unlock, root, flash other stock and thereby loose all my settings and reconfigure the phone again, but if that would solve the problem with foreign APNs I guess that is what I will do.
Anyone know what is causing this problem and how to solve it?

Ok so my Lebanese network has 2 different APN.
The first one is Edge with proxy and port, the second one is GPRS without proxy and port.
Unfortunetly my subscription is with Edge but it seems that the proxy used is not supported by Nexus One so I can't connect to internet using it.
So is there an internal file in the Android system that we can modify to add supported proxies???
You can't edit it in settings > wireless and networks > mobile networks > access point names?
Yes but it looks like the Lebanese proxy is not supported, the network technicians told me to use mnc 03 but the whole APN disappear if I do that,perhaps there is a way to ''force'' the N1 to accept mnc 03.
This could do something like that? : http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/wiki/APNlist
Android will only list the APNs which have the MCC/MNC code of the home carrier it is connecting to (presumably this is set on the SIM card). If you enter an MCC/MNC which does not match the one you're connected to, the APN will appear to vanish.
Have you tried entering the settings without modifying the MCC/MNC that the phone automatically inserts?
If I use mnc 01 it wil not vanish but it wont connect either!
I don't suppose your provider has multiple varieties of SIM card? Perhaps if they can transfer you to a SIM card which reports MNC 03 to the phone, then your APN settings will work properly.
I remember reading some people had trouble with the Fido APN on Android phones, and the solution was to get a new SIM because the older generation wasn't quite compatible.
So the possibility to have unsupported proxies is not the problem?
I mean Lebanon is not on the list of recognised countries by Google N1's website,the other data plan doesn't have a proxy in the settings that's why it can work.
Switching to the other data plan will cost me +15$ per month

I am not sure the proxy is the problem. I can enter a proxy into my Fido APN and it works. The "vanishing APN" problem is because they are asking you to enter an MCC/MNC which does not match your SIM card.
Hi,
Was wondering if anyone have the same problem as me in that the APN settings are getting lost when say you change MNC settings? That is APN is not getting saved (well it doesn't appear on apn list anyway)
Seems like no one is having this problem and I'm the only one?
Had posted in a few threads but no one ever respond so don't know if it's just me or is it an issue with the firmware.
Cheers
Yes, I did notice it once, when I entered an incorrect MNC accidentally. But for correct MCC/MNC it doesn't happen. I see that you are with Virgin Mobile AU, Me too. Correct Mobile Country Code (MCC) for Australia is 505 and you should put Mobile Network Code (MNC) as 02 for Optus.
Nah I got it working, just that my import from previous apn settings doesn't work, manually entering it in works. Although for teh MNC if you delete the 02 and add it back in as 02 it'll fail as well. I think it's a bug...
I'm just surprise it seems not alot of people is noticing this.....
Using my bionic on tmo usa and am trying to create a new apn that mirrors my friends phone, also on T-Mobile. When i create and save the new apn, and choose it, it sticks for a second then reverts back to the locked, default apn. The apn type i am trying to input is internet +mms. It does stick if i input default as apn type, however. Any ideas?
I’ve recently changed my rom from cm9 stable to cm10 stable and Im having trouble configuring my APNs.
Basically Im on a spanish carrier (yoigo) that has the right to use another network (movistar) if their coverage isnt available. On CM9 I chose to permanently set my phone to use the movistar network because they dont block voip (unlike yoigo). All I had to do was remove the proxy and port and change the "authentication type" from "not set" to "none" in the APN settings, and then search for the movistar network and connect to it.
However in CM10, if I do the same then I can connect to the movistar network to make calls and sms but there is no data. Looking in the APN settings there are two options that I dont remember seeing before (in cm9) although I could be mistaken: MCC and MNC. If I try and change the MNC code from yoigo (04) to movistar (07) and then save, the entire APN disappears!
Any ideas what I can do? Thanks for any advice!
Sorry to bump this, but I can't find a solution anywhere and it's really annoying me. If my phone loses connection to yoigo, it connects automatically to movistar but loses access to a data connection. I'm pretty sure it's due to a conflict with the MNC code which I can't change.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Cheers
what worked for me download apn tweaker from market if no luck .
1 i flashed 10.2 re darkyrom
2 then alliancerom jw4
3 then alliancerom jw8
Hi, I have a problem with APN settings in my RAZR i. There is no APN list and every APN profile which I'm trying to save disappears. I assume problem causing old sim from VIRGIN Mobile Poland cause it has something wrong with MNC and MCC and Jelly Bean can't set APN if it can't read MCC and MNC from SIM. It should has MCC 206 and MNC 06 but phone can't read it. Strange thing is that when I used SIM from different operator but the same MNC and MCC list of APN's shown. The same thing was with Market Enabler, when I set 26006 APN's shows on my Virgin Mobile SIM but even after setting right APN phone couldn't connect to internet.
OFC it's SIM card problem cause T-Mobile and Orange working well so I asked Virgin to change sim card for some working with Jelly Bean but they say they don't have any other sim cards and not directly but something like F*** You, it's Your problem, not ours. I can change operator but Virgin has best offer for me at this moment but in the end I think it's the only way.
Maybe someone have some clue to trick system to read MCC and MNC right?? I used this card on Atrix stock 2.3.4 and CM10.1 and it' working fine and problem is only on RAZR i, tried 2 different roms and nothing - RTEN and RTEU.
Nvm anymore, I'm going to change my carrier in few days.
Maybe, are you in flightmode? Because in flightmode all apn's are disabled and invisible
No, I'm not. APN's not showing up cause android shows only APN's which match MCC+MNC from SIM card and when there is something wrong with my MCC+MNC it wont show any APN.
