I'm using the Turbo with Verizon but I want to change the APN so I can add the AdBlockPlus settings. However, the (+) button to add a new APN isn't there for me. Looks like I need to be using a different network to be able to edit the APB but I was wondering if there's any way to force the phone to use a custom APN (or to change the one that's tied to the SIM)
Thanks in advance.
I've been down the same road and I could not find a way to modify the APN. But if your goal is to block ads, then I recommend you try Adguard. It uses VPN.

Thanks, I'll check it out.
In an effort to not start a new thread...what if my goal is to troubleshoot MMS messages not working? Only Textra seems to work for me, I can't use any other messaging apps that don't have their own APN settings, including Google Messages, because they will forever say "Downloading MMS" even though it displays an MMS downloaded in a different app while it's the default just fine. Any ideas?

Sorry, i have an Alltel Milestone(Droid)
Not a verizon..
I dont see Apn as an option.
APN = Access Point Names
Should be there
Sorry, apn isn't an option anywhere.
In mobile networks settings there is only:
Data enabled
Data Roaming
System Select
That's it.
bump..
anyone else gotta any tips?
Try playing around with the settings, you are missing what is essentially the master setting for MMS messages

hmm,
you do know you posted question in a GSM area of Milestone?
you have a CDMA droid phone right?
so maybe try droid development?
i have the milestone, not the droid, still it isn't working with EclairMODv3b. even when i was playing with the MMS settings.
I flashed my 920 with the Amber ROM from Rogers this weekend and all has been well until this morning. I noticed no MMS messages were making it to my phone. I will get the message as a text message and click "Get media content now", but the message will never appear. I tried switching profiles in access point (from LTE 1 to LTE 2 and so on) with no resolution.
I was wondering if an update may have caused this behavior. Could call + SMS filter have anything to do with this? Any other thoughts? Is anyone else having this issue?
Make sure your MMS APN settings are correct. The automatic app may be getting them wrong.

Tried that as well, in Settings > Applications > Messaging > Edit MMS APN, I have:
APN: pta
User name:
Password:
WAP gateway (URL): proxy.mobile.att.net
WAP gateway port: 80
MMSC (URL): h t t p : // mmsc.mobile.att.net/
MMSC Port: 80
Maximum MMS size:
IP Type: IPv4v6
All of these suggestions work. I at first had mine set to LTE 2, then I changed from LTE 1 and then I could get MMS. After that, I switched back to LTE 2.
Also, if you're going to use a manual MMS apn, use "phone" instead of "pta"

Still not working for me. Went back and forth from LTE 1 to LTE 2 and nothing. I removed the manual MMS settings as well.

Did you try access point app from the marketplace,
I had the same problems you have but after I installed the app and configured my MMS setting using it, every thing is working fine
install it using Lumia updater here

Yes, I have been using the access point app since I installed the ROM.
For some reason they started working again. I had my phone off for a good 4-5 hours today, so maybe that helped with something?
I've been on Arhd 62 with Sense 6.0 on my M7 AT&T for a month now. Everything is great except Blinkfeed stopped refreshing this week and won't show any content. I tried everything with auto sync, rebooting, etc. Also I will not get any MMS, pics or group. They show up in preview notifications bar but when I go to messages they're not there, like they don't exist. I tried different APN settings and this forum isn't easy to navigate. I found numerous APN settings that vary. Can someone point me to the right ones for AT&T with LTE and MMS? Or how else to solve these issues? Thank you.

you can found the correct apn setting for at&t on their website or google it: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=at&t+lte+apn
Note that using app like AdBlockPlus also cause issue sending/receiving mms

I Googled it and got varying results and contradicting APN settings that weren't current. Some Cingular, some AT&T. Some say to leave some stuff unspecified, some not... I did have AdBlockPlus but uninstalled it and that didn't fix it. Can you help me find the most current settings?
All-
I've been trying to get my verizon APN settings to save in google hangouts to no avail.
The default set are all spring/metropcs. I believe this is due to the app #mirrorenabler which allows you to use chromecasts screen casting feature from a phone. I have tried disabling that app and its effects, but that didn't correct the issue.
I tried editing an existing APN settings, and when I save it, it disappears.
Anyone have the slightest in what's going on here?
Thanks!

I have this same issue on my Vzw Note 2. All the APNs in Hangouts are for Sprint/PCS and if i try to add or edit them, they delete as soon as i hit save. Restore to default does not help either. The system level APNs are all vzw. I've found where someone said you have to decompile hangouts, edit the apn file, then recompile. Surely this isn't the only way to fix this?
ditto

same problem here on my S3, Android 4.4.2 (ND8)
EDIT: I figured out that if I edit an existing APN but don't change the MCC or MNC values, then it'll stick. I read that the MCC/MNC should be zeroed out for VZW but apparently it doesn't make a difference, as I'm able to send/receive MMS messages with 310/120 respectively. Hope this helps.
I'm using BlissPop and have been unable to send/receive MMS using the stock Messaging app.
Google Messenger works
Sliding messaging works
Hangouts works
Not an APN issue, unless there are hidden ones somewhere.
Interestingly, in sliding messaging when I ask it to automatically insert the APN, two options come up: the right one (optus), which I have in settings, and the wrong one(virgin), not listed anywhere else.
Could be possible that the virgin APN is hidden somewhere and being defaulted too in Messaging? I am actually on Virgin (Australia), but they use the optus network so the optus APN is the correct one.
Any thoughts on this, besides telling me to just use one of the other apps?
You or your ROM running an ad blocker? On Verizon I have to whitelist the MMS server
Sent from my Benzo'd Google N6 on VZ
Interesting thought, but I imagine that no MMS would come through if it was blocking the server. My issue seems to be isolated specifically to MMS.apk
