[SOLVED]Unable to set APNs - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys, I flashed my Indian SGS with Asian firmware. Trying to add my network's APN from settings failed to work.. it wouldn't save. And I'm unable to edit the /etc/apns-conf.xml file to allow my network's internet APN to work... Using root explorer, I'm unable to edit or delete the file, only copy it... Therefore unable to get online!
Has anyone else faced this issue, or is it just me ? Please advise...

Never mind... Got it working

please help with APN not saving
can you say how did you get it to work, i am facing the same issue here and can't save any APN, please help

[Q] APN Settings, where?

Where are the APN settings stored? I mean the file or whatever. Can I backup them?
Thanks.
They are not in the phone. You should add it manually. You can contact your network operator to configure it correctly or you can find the settings on your network operator web page.

Actually, they are In some database, or something...
You can backup and restore them using an app on the market ("APN backup and restore", or something like that, not using it personally...)

Mine are set up automatically, I don't have to do anything
well, thx for that I will have a look in the market ... I thought they are stored in a file or whatever, on the phone.
cause I need to enter them after each flash
Edit: got the app --> http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.riteshsahu.APNBackupRestore
File with APN is stored on "apns-conf.xml" somewhere, i dont know exactly where, sdcard or root (cannot serch, charging my galaxy with power off, right now). I have same file from cyanogen firmware, but dont know prepare for our device, always have some error. This file have APN data almost from all world operators.
Best regards

yes I saw those APN of the other operators. after backing up with the app I looked into this .xml file which is generated by the app and I got 60 entries. but i see only mine in the settings pane on the phone, how come
That was me strange too. But i think, maybe when you etc. go in roaming or chnging SIM card from other operator, connecting with this other operator, we got other APN points in Settings panel. I was make this, and have APN , hanging from wich operater sim card is in my galaxy...(T-Mobile Croatia, VIPnet, and Tele2)

[DEV] Edited build.prop crashes network connection

Hello Guys,
I want to edit the ro.romname Part in the buil.prop file.
When I pull the File via adb to the computer and edit the Romname to what I want and save it and push it back to the Phone it has no network connection after reboot. And there are some other issues too.
I tried it with RootExplorer too, but the same problems.
What is my problem or what I´am doing wrong?
Has anyone sucsessfully edited the build.prop ?
Please help me!
Thanks
Can nobody help me ?
I've had the same problem as well, I think there's some code that checks the build name and then disables the radio if it has been changed.

Yes I think so, but I couldn´t find something that checks the name. I hope someone can help us.
It´s good to hear that I´am not the only one who has this broblem
I tested what else happens when I change this code:
- Android Market is deleted
- All apps which need a internet connection crash at start
- google accounts are deleted from phone
- network connection is disabled
But my quiestion is now whick .apk or File could cause this problems ?
can someone upload the build.prop for me? would like one from android 2.3.4 thanks
the permissions has to be set!
only change name of rom. "ro.modversion="
is your ROM CM7 based? If so, as already mentioned, there is functionality that shuts off the radio once the ROM Version was changed to prevent KANGing the releases without crediting them

[SOLVED] Problem: APN disappearing

Hello to everybody. I'm italian and I have a problem with my XT890 stock (booloader locked, android 4.1.2, system version 91.2.26001.XT890.Retail.en.EU) and sim card by italian operator Noverca. Noverca is a Full Mobile Virtual Network Operator, MMC 222 MNC 07, working in roaming with TIM (222-01).
When I enter my sim Noverca, on phone: menu> Setup> Other> Mobile Networks> Access Point Names> APN cannot find any access point. If I try to create one ... > New APN> Edit access point> (insert the parameters provided by my operator)> ... > Save, the new APN created by me is not saved and the list of APN available is always empty. Similarly if I receive a message from my operator self-configuring and save these settings, I see a pop-up that the configuration was successful but when I go to see the list of APN find it empty again.
I tried to configure it with the data on and off, data roaming , but always no results. The problem also doesn't occur with sim of other carriers.
The sim card is new and works fine on my other Android phones (RAZR XT910, Galaxy i5800), making right APNs.
In system/etc/ apns-conf.xml file there is written the configuration for my carrier but it's wrong (there is written MMC 222 MNC 01)!
I contacted Motorola XT890 but the answer is that it was not released in Italy and may have compatibility issues. (But in Germany, France and UK has been released and the gsm/wcdma networks are the same as in Italy!)
Thank you for helping.
Same happens to me. Try reseting apn to default and edit the config that should appear.

Thanks but in my case doesn't work. Also at the reboot there isn't any apn saved.
I solved this problem unlocking the bootloader and making Root.
After I went to system/etc and renamed apns-conf.xml in apn-conf.bak (only to have a backup, i could delete the file and it was the same).
Then I went to menu> Setup> Other> Mobile Networks> Access Point Names and resetted APN to default.
Now I can write my carrier's APNs and they are saved without disappearing.

SM-N900A Note 3 wifi issue wpa_supplicant corrupted?

I'm hoping someone can help me. If your familiar with the wpa_supplicant file getting corrupted and sticking in "turning on". The only fix I've found was renaming, deleting the file and rebooting which would create a new one. Well that worked for a while but I've botched something. Even after a factory reset on the phone it doesn't change my system/etc/wifi directory & wifi won't turn on.. There are two files that begin with wpa_supplicant (overlay & .conf).. I just can't get it to work and hoped maybe someone has access to those files & I could get working or blank copies? . Any help would be appreciated

Here you go make sure to set the permissions of the files to match the others before you reboot. There should also be a wpa_supplicant.conf file in
Code:
/data/misc/wifi
...that's literally all I know about wifi though so hopefully that's what you're looking for!

That file starting causing a problem for me after the 4.2.2 update during tethering. Barnacle Wifi Tether app has a setting "Skip wpa_supplicant". Checking that is the only way I can tether, don't know if that will help in your case or not.
Known issue? Note 3 wifi turning on indifinetly
So this is a known issue?
I also am getting the wifi issue on my note 3, I can lso repair it for a while if I delete the wpa_supplicient.conf file and reboot.
But I have to do this quite regularly...this is not cool
Did you find a long term solution?

Unable to add or edit APN settings

Hello, I have a Verizon DE and am having trouble receiving MMS. I believe the issue is because the MMS port in the APN settings is blank.
However I am unable to add a new APN or edit anything except the name of the existing one. I have tried reseting the APN to default, adding lines to buildprop and even a few apps from the play store with no luck. I'm bootloader unlocked running stock rooted 4.4.4.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
Yes, SQLite editor can help you edit, add, delete Apn ....i need to refresh my memor to get you the exact location of the file to edit...look for telephony.db ...gotta be rooted of course
