[Search] Registry values for APN - Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking

Hi Gurus.
Iam searching a way to change with an application of mine the APN on my phone.
Did anyone find this already?
Thanks for help.

interested in one. i know its hidden somewhere in the registry.

Which APN are you referring to? The GPS APN or the Carrier APN setting?
If its carrier APN, its stored on the Phone Modem if my memory serves right.
I can write a small App for both, if you want (using the AT command). Unfortunately, it will be only for Dell Venue Pro.

That will be great, I need to access the APN setting on my Venue Pro, and I can't right now.
Thanks.

Just curious, can't you do that under the 'Add APN' option under the Settings->Cellular ?

Yes, that's what I do now.
But, I use Simple Mobile (a sub-lease of T-Mobile) and when I need anything that uses data, it takes a long time to connect, once it connects it goes fast. I tried using a T-Mobile sim and everything was fast, I have used my sim on a HD2 with WM6.5, android and WP7 and it was also fast, which made me think that since the T-Mobile APN settings are coded in the phone (because it is a locked phone) it tries to connect to T-Mobile first every time and only after that it uses my APN and it is driving me crazy.
I hope you can help.
Thanks.

T-Mobile UK-OneX-Tethering

I have just started a T-Mobile contract in the UK on the Full Monty plan that gives unlimited data and includes tethering.
The handset used is unbranded and unlocked but I couldnt tether with it for some reason, either via wifi hotspot or USB Tether. The internet on the handset worked fine.
I couldnt call 150 customer service as that dept shut at 10pm so had a play with the apn's.
The three APN's set up as default are all locked and uneditable so my plan was to edit the broadband one in someway.
So, I copied all the settings, set up the APN's as another network, deleted them and added the three default APN's manually.
Once I did this, tethering started to work, with no actual change to any of the settings.
Just a heads up if anyone else comes across this and a fix that worked for me.

Yep rename apn to consumer broadband, people with many HTC s will known this, glad you figured it out

Many thanks for this post. Would you mind expanding / elaborating on the above steps at all? Not sure how to do this. Have tried creating new APNs with the same settings with no luck. Any pointers much appreciated, thanks.

Yeah - I'd like easier steps too listed please - and thanks for sharing!
I made a mistake in my original post.
Seems that what was happening is that I was using the T-mobile Orange signal and not been able to tether. After messing with the APN's the phone went back to T-Mobile and so started to work. Nothing to do with the messing with the APN's
But, what does seem to work, is to re-create the APN's as they were, but on the first entry, change APN type from 'default,hipri' to 'default,hipri,dun'
That works on T-Mobile and when roaming onto Orange it seems
To do this, copy the info from all three APN's and then with the APN screen open, select menu and then 'reset to default'
This deletes the APN's and then gives you the choice of carrier to use. I used Virgin I think (doesnt matter which you use) but once the new APN(s) are there, just delete them. Then, menu and add APN.
Set up each of the APN's as they were before, except the above change (adding dun to the Apn type)

Smashing thanks. Tethering working fine now on T-Mo only, will try the solution you suggest for T-Mo/Orange when I get a chance. Much appreciated!
I don't have any problems tethering whilst on Orange on Android handsets. I'm not on Full Monty though, if that makes any difference. It is impossible to tether on an iPhone whilst on T-MobileOrange though. The hotspot option is just greyed out. As soon as you switch back to TMobile you get the option to switch it on again. Orange 3G is utter crap anyway. Unfortunately I pretty much roam onto it whether I like it or not at my new address.
as usual i'm stumbling at the first block...
'copy the info from all three APN's'...
when i click on any of them all the settings are greyed out, i wonder what i'm doing wrong?
edit:
sussed and working fine now
Just about to do this.
Out of curiosity what is the Broadband APN for??
Is it a tethering only APN? e.g. Now tethering is removed from NEW Full Monty contract connections (of which i have one) If i tether, thus using that APN, will they be able to see that and have a go.
Or now tethering is removed will that APN not work?

I reckon tethering will work…. but will get charged…. and its likely to be expensive.
Seems a strange decision on TMO's part TBH, as they share part of the backhaul with 3 UK you would think that they could cope with extra bandwidth needed.
I assume the broadband APN is for tethering but as I say, if used then it will be billed. Just cos the handset/set up can do it, doesnt meant it wont go past the billing systems.

How do I delete the T-Mobile APN [I already have ROOT]?

Hi everyone,
I just rooted my phone using mrRobinsons No-Counter-Tipping method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687). I still can't seem to DELETE the stock T-Mobile APN, and I need to delete to get on SIMPLE MOBILE's data network.
Please help me if you know how to do this. Thanks.
I may be wrong, but I don't think you would need to delete it. I believe that you would have the option to select T- Mobile or Simple Mobile. Check the Simple Mobile box and you should be good to go. Hopefully this helps you. I'm not 100% sure since I've never had to switch carriers or APN's.

On(in) the apn screen, hit menu, add apn, fill in the blanks (I don't use Simple Mobile so I do not know the correct settings) and then save (or, menu> save) and when back at the apn screen tap the radio button next to Simple Mobile.

Thanks for the reply everyone, but on my HD2 I did add the SIMPLE Mobile APN WITHOUT deleting the T-mobile one, and it didn't connect to the 3g/4g network. Once I deleted the T-Mobile APN (as the instructions say to do per Simple Mobiles website) it worked fine.
Now that I'm using my S3, I tried just adding Simple Mobile, and that Does NOT work. I recently found an app that allowed me to change/delete the T-Mobile APN (APN Manager), but maybe that didn't complete delete it, otherwise something else isn't working correctly.
Is there anybody that is using SIMPLE Mobile on their Galaxy S3 (T999)????????

I just did it this morning. Added the new APN then selected the radio button (to the right of the name of the APN in the list). I was getting an average of 15 Mbps down.
My phone is unlocked, but it's never been a problem with any Android phone I've used.

Your phone is SIM Unlocked? Is it Rooted? I'm just trying to get my setting working, and stock (out of the box), the settings for SIMPLE Mobile didn't work (I restarted and everything just as the instructions say). The T-Mobile APN was still there.
Please let me know exactly what you did so that I can try and make it work for me. Thanks.
EDIT: One other thing. I have the $40 SIMPLE Mobile Plan (which was working fine on my HD2) with unlimited 3g data. What plan do you have? Do you think that would affect it?
im pretty sure u need to go to mobile networks/network operators/default setup and choose manual before attemtping to do your add apn.

I think this may have done the trick. I also think the connection is acting differently since I'm on this phone (with this stock ROM) compared to my HD2 (with CM9 ROM created by Tytung). So deleting the APN made it find the SIMPLE Mobile network, where manually setting this one made it so I didn't need to delete the APN.
Thanks.
Closely related issue - Please Help!
Your issue is closely related to something I'm trying to do, but unsuccessfully. I also have a T-Mobile andriod phone (galaxy) and I've recently switched to Net10 Wireless. The service is excellent and everything works great on the data side. However, I can't delete the T-Mobile APN and it keeps switching back to it randomly even though I've selected the radio box next to Net10's APN. It will work for period of time and then stop and I'll go back in to the APN settings, and sure enough, it has switched back to T-Mobile. It doesn't give me an option to delete this APN, only the one I added.
Any thoughts anyone?
Thank you!

I have a pantech pocket that I just got and I am using it on my new unlock straight talk plan...I am very technology challenged when it comes to this stuff. The pamplet that came with my new micro sim card for straight talk said that I need to change the APN settings and it lists what I need to put in it's place. However, whenever I go into "mobile networks" and try to change my APN settings, I can't. They are shaded and when I touch them they don't react at all. I can't change them at all! So, how would I go about choosing manual in the default setup? I am sorry...I just don't know where I would even find any of that at. Super confused

I don't know if anyone will ever read this, but simple trick:
You're right in that when you just add a Custom APN and select it (on any phone I've had), it won't remember your selection. It'll either keep selecting the Default APN, or neither.
What's always worked for me, is to create a 2nd one and name it "DONT USE" or "Dummy APN" and "Save" it (Menu).
Then create a 3rd one and set that one up the way you want/need and Save it, then select it.
Let the phone run for a minute and make sure your Mobile Data works (go to Google.com). Then Reboot and wait until it finishes booting up (2-3 minutes from when you see the Home Screen) and then go check it and your Custom APN should be selected.
Your Carrier may have instructed you to Delete the original one, but it can't be done from the phone's APN screen anyway. They never bothered trying it, trust me.

Lg v30/v30+ free hotspot (no root or msl required)

Edit: If you want this edit on the Oreo update (I just received it today) you must add the APN before updating. They have remove the button to add a new APN.
If it is added before you update it will stick!
I have only tested this on my sprint V30+ and am assuming it also works on the Sprint V30 and probably also the G6 but i cannot test them
also this should work on all the providers that require dun be active in the apn.
Even though the apns are locked(grayed out) and we cannot edit them they still allow us to add new ones.
so i tried adding an new apn with all the same settings as the default "internet" apn but adding in ,dun.
Worked Flawlessly! hotspot activated no hesitation.
Those of you who have other providers an wanna try you will need to get your default APN.
If your on sprint yours is probably the same as mine so you may skip to step #2.
Step #1
To view your current apn settings without your msl you open the dialer and type in ##debug# (##33284#) to open the hidden debug menu.
click on "Active APN Connections" and click on the default internet APN (Mine is titled "internet").
you can view all the settings but once again you cannot edit but right down your settings and then move on to step #2.
Step #2
now that you have your APN settings open settings and click More - Mobile networks - Access Point Names.
hit the 3 dot settings icon then hit add APN.
For Sprint only change the fallowing items leave everything else alone.
Name - hotspot (this can be anything you want)
APN - x.ispsn
Username - null
Password - null
APN type - default,mms,dun
APN protocol - IPv4/IPv6
others who decide to try this add all your settings in but like always add ",dun" to "APN type"
Now hit the 3dot menu again and save and thats it you should now see your new APN in the list of locked ones.
you do not have to do anything else in that menu just go turn on your hotspot and enjoy.
This method also holds through reboots.
Also...
Even though it is not grayed out you still cannot edit the new APN. if you make a mistake or just wanna make adjustments
you must hit Restore default settings in the 3dot menu and start all over again.
Edit
If Restore default settings does not show up in your menu after adding a new APN you can still reset them by typing ##scrtn# into your dialer an hit ok

I had the same issue when I first figured this out I was at work testing it with my buddies phone and it would connect but no internet seemed to go through but then I went to hotspot settings and changed it to 5 GHz and it worked fine I changed it back to 2.4 right after and it worked fine from then on even on his phone (I wanted mine in 2.4 GHz because my car does not support 5 GHz )

Compatible Data Carriers in Canada

So I just got the phone yesterday, and I noticed that data on it didn't work, but calling and texting did. My data plan is under Rogers, so I went to a Rogers Wireless store, and they couldn't make data work, as it apparently couldn't connect to their APN. I was wondering if this was a software issue, where it wouldn't accept an APN from any service provider, or if the phone just doesn't work with Roger's data specifically?
Also, if anyone in BC has gotten the data working on their Red Magic 5G, how did you do that, and what's your service provider?
Try again. Im on Videotron in Quebec, took me several tries to finally to get to save the apn. Roaming data for Videotron is on Rogers network. Tested and working in Ontario.
Although, carriers in BC might use other lte bands. ?
Working without any hassle or need to setup the APN configuration with Public Mobile on their LTE network.
There were some mentioning the APN setup page isn't clear, especially is you're using dark mode.
Rogers APN settings should be readily available so you can edit/input yourself.
Edit: found this:

You need to use an app called MyNewAPN to add the APN settings. For whatever reason you can't do it through the APN menu.

Question APN Settings?

Hey,
I've successfully added an unsupported eSIM to my Pixel Watch.
My issue is that my carrier requires custom APN settings, so currently I can only make phone calls, but have no data..
When I go to the mobile data settings on my PW, I can see an entry for APN, but it's just an empty menu.
Any way of customizing those settings?
Could you

Ordered an eSIM from Vodafone Germany online. After adding the eSIM I was able to add a plan to my watch via the app.
Same eSim now in the watch but no APN and I can't edit or add one.
A long time ago I had problems with APNs for my prepaid carriers not being in android's APN database and would have similar problems (calls only, no data).
At that time, Android stored a list of "all" know APNs in an XML files like this: /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
I was able to download an app on the phone itself, open this file and add whatever APNs I wanted. Then later in the phone settings, my newly added APNs would be available to choose from.
Of course, the main issues being the probable differences between android back then and today...plus differences with Wear.
Back in those days, I found that if I put in an AT&T sim card, android would automatically force the settings from the XML or .db file. If you could find out what APN is being used in that file, you could modify it's details. Does anyone know if Wear uses a similar APN file format as android in the past?
Actually, I just found another post where someone was able to access/modify the telephony database in Wear OS 2.0, but requires root.
How to modify your APN to support an MVNO (FreedomPop, etc)
This guide will cover enabling a custom APN to support MVNO's (FreedomPop, Ting, etc) on your LG Urbane 2 for Android Wear 2.0. Prerequisites: Root watch (I recommend this thread) ADB minimal and fastboot Linux system A little bit of SQL...

Have you tried turning of WiFi and bluetooth for awhile on the clock to make it get the apn? I have an unsupported carrier on my watch and everything loaded just fine when you disconnected the watch from the phone

Does your carrier require custom APN settings?
On my phone i also have to manually enter them.

Ordered an eSIM from Vodafone Germany online. After adding the eSIM I was able to add a plan to my watch via the app.

Did this require using eSIM on phone as well? how did you switch to local eSIM?

Hey,
I've successfully added an unsupported eSIM to my Pixel Watch.
My issue is that my carrier requires custom APN settings, so currently I can only make phone calls, but have no data..
When I go to the mobile data settings on my PW, I can see an entry for APN, but it's just an empty menu.
Any way of customizing those settings?

Hi @Shebee
I've exactly your same issue, I've add my no supported eSim to my Pixel watch using a VodafoneDE esim.
That was tricky but has worked!
The issue is that I found the apn setting page that is blank... have you find any solution in this weeks?
Regards

Have you abandoned this task? Or maybe you have choice a carrier that may work without any apn settings?

Yes i have abandoned this for now. I don't want to bother switching just for the smartwatch.
Hello. I activated LTE on the watch. But the APN is incorrect. LTE works partially. Notifications come, YouTube music works (without connecting to the phone and wifi of course). But google assistant does not work, writes: "No internet connection". Why can this be so?
I think I understand why the Internet is so bad. In the APN settings, a proxy server is specified, which is no longer used by the provider. Is there any way to edit the APN?
