Why can't I add a New APN? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the LG-F400S, and I'm trying to add Bell's APN (since cellular data does not work at all currently).
I go to Settings > Tethering and Networks > Mobile networks > Access point names > [Menu] > New APN... and nothing happens. Anyone else have this problem?

I finally figured it out. I was restoring Phone/Messages through Titanium Backup, which corrupted the APN SQLite table. Problem solved.

Wow dude, you saved me from a factory reset. Thanks a lot. I had the same issue.

Hello I have probably the same problem on LG G2, but with Rom Toolbox. How did you fix this? Thanks for any help.

Oh well Factory data restore resolved it.

APN FC Legend based roms?

Anyone ever checked the problem with APN's FC'ing on legend based roms, probably not is what i think.
It's not that hard to find the problem, it's rather easy.
As suggested on every Legend based ROM you should download APN backup and restore and wipe ALL APN's
Why do i type ALL in capital, because that APN list in this rom is huge as in a few 100 entry's. No wonder APN settings FC's!!
What i did, because i'm rather lazy, is make a backup, wipe APN's, open xml on PC, delete all items you don't need (and that are many of them), save it and restore it on your Legend rom
Peace of cake.
Just use that app to get rid of your APN like you said.
Then going into the APN menu and press restore defaults works fine for me.

I toyed with this when developing my ROM but it seems that if you exit the APN list and open again later it will force close again, there are simply too many APNs in the list, or some are incorrectly formatted.
I have been playing with some calls to the sqlite3 binary on the relevent database but everything is fine until the database is restored, then same problem again.

Restoring doesn't help, the list is just to BIG.

The list is too big; that's it.
I've trimmed it and included it in Villain BETA3... it's fixed the issue.

Thanks, I think the problem with me is although the information for Orange appeared correct it just never worked, when manually entering it my internet now works. (along with the problems I had with Orange as well)

[Q] Rooted Evo "Factory Reset"

My friend has a rooted EVO 4g with the stock ROM. He has about a bazillion applications loaded and his phone is slow as ****.
Is there anyway to factory restore an EVO? He wants all applications removed (he moved most to sd card) and a factory reset to occur. I didn't know of a way to do this so I figure, I will ask here.
He is okay with losing root for now, he can get that back.
He can run the RUU for his phone, which will restore it to stock, out of the box, or he can just go to Application Manager in setup and delete them one by one OR, he can use root explorer, go to /system/app/ and delete them that way, if he knows what he's doing.
Menu > Settings > storage > factory reset.

Yeah I was wondering what that does exactly. Does it just restore settings to default or remove all applications AND settings.
Thanks a lot for the responses

It will remove everything as it was given to you out of the box. This is only if you are using the stock rom. If the phone is rooted, it will keep the root.

APN Settings Crash

Hi. I recently flashed and rooted my Xperia Arc from Rogers to ICS I was quite proud of myself and spent an entire day. Anyways long story short. I've had a few issues since then.
1. My keyboard settings seem to stay the same (EG: I keep having things spell checked even if I change the settings and save them)
2. I have a notification that says "Internet & MMS Settings Could not download. Tap here to try again."
I have a feeling they are connected.
So. From what i have learned from other threads and people experiencing this issue it means my APN settings are all out of whack because of the flash to ICS. I finally hunted down the APN settings I need from Rogers on their website. And as I was entering this in. Settings crashed.
"Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" I have restarted my phone numerous times and experimented with wi-fi and data being turned off/on. Nothing is helping me with the crash.
I just now also factory reset my phones settings.
How do I get rid of this error so that I may fix the problem I had to begin with?
Also... The error for internet settings disapeered...
But I still think Im unable to use the MMS etc.
No one knows how to help me out ? It must be fixable.
i had the same problem
i think i reflashed it and that fixed it

Seriously though. I don't see how re-flashing and rooting will help me T_T. If I end up with the exact same "Could not download internet & mms" settings stuff again.

after you reflash your settings will not crash when you go to the apn setting
then you have to manually enter the internet settings

For what its worth, whenever I'm flashing a new rom ( which is like most weekends) I keep a few screen shots on my sd card of my apn settings.
where I am in Australia the automatic downloading of internet and mms settings doesn't accurately pick up my carrier, so it never works for me. but yeah, i found screen shots were a handy way to keep the info handy.:laugh:

[q] apn help!!

Do i have to put APN settings after flashing a rom?
I have a rooted unlocked still stocked Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919 from T-Mobile i just bought yesterday and i want to flash Revolt or Wicked.
I'm asking because when i flashed my old Galaxy S2 awhile back with CyanogenMod 10.1 nightly i had too and even after that i couldn't send pics though messaging i think because the APN was set alittle wrong.
So i'm hoping you guys can help me TY in advanced. :highfive:

TMO ROMs should have the APNs already set. If you plan on using any other carrier's ROMs, download an app called "APN backup & restore", open it, disable the ICS check, convert to a system app in TiBu, then backup your APN settings. On the new ROM, do the same thing, except restore the settings instead of backing them up.

Could I just copy on paper what the apn settings are the reenter them after flashing?
the apn backup and restore app sounds alittle difficult to understand and do never used it before.

It isn't too confusing once you do it once... but honestly, either way you go, whether it's pen and paper/manual reenter or the app it really takes about the same amount of time. I guess that app would be most useful if you have more than 2 or 3 APNs you need.

is there a link to a tut on how to use the app or even better youtube tut(wishful thinking)?
ty
i guess i can do all to be on the safe side, but if i write it down and put it in manually do i have to reboot for it to take affect?

Rebooting doesn't hurt, but I don't believe it's required for the settings to take effect.
always have your apn settings handy, I have my att one (I only use one) memorized I can add, it 2 sec, if you are going to flash custom roms, it is a good idea to have them right where you can get to it.
Ax's opinion.
good luck.
