after having trouble connecting to some of my cellular provider services, i have found that no matter what i enter in the User/Pass configuration in the APN settings, its always using the same User/Pass, which is
user: [email protected]
password: NotUsed
after few searches, i have found that the atrix is using the user and password that configured at the file: /system/etc/ppp/peers/pppd-ril.options
so no matter what is configured at the APN setting, it will always use the config from the file...
i do have the ability to edit the default user and password in the file, but still i cannot use more then one user and password...(i've also tried write a '#' before these lines, but it didn't worked out....)
this limitation is quite annoying, first because it's just limiting me! and specially because my cellular provider is using few APN's with different user and passwords....
so i have to use more then one....
is there anyway to bypass that file? so the atrix will use the actual user and password i have configured in the APN settings?
tnx!
?
That's very strange. I have mine configured with the Claro AR APN, and I don't have the issue you describe. User clarogprs and password clarogprs999. Its working fine, with no data issues.
BTW I have 4.1.8.3 with latest Gingerblur.
How are you checking what user/password is being used?
Thread moved.
There is several methods to authenticate users, that are stronger than the APN user and password, so many networks just don't use it... so in many networks this wont be an issue...

I use a T-mobile ppc with a Swedish device carrier. Everything works fine except for the internet. I entered all the right information. But I won't get connected. An additional problem is that T-mobile has removed the GPRS authentication module. So I don't know how to investigate those settings. Does annybody have a answer to that?
You mean that it won't ask for a username/password when you create a new GPRS connection? If so, why don't you load the SE ROM then? It will ask you for authentication when you create a new connection.
Thanks for your response Carlos. Yes it asks for username and password and it tries to connect but then it either stops with no connection or asks me once again to enter the user name and password.
I wonder if I need the GPRS authentication module to know if the pap settings is used?
Don't get confused. I posted my question as guest Diderikus, but am a member now and use the name Andreas. Both are my names.
Well, I finally dare upgrading to SE ROM and my XDA works better than ever with good Internet Connection, thanks guys.
I'm using a 3G data connection that requires a http proxy.
So... I've defined a proper APN with proxy.
Browser is the only program that I can use with this connection (only page view, no download). All the rest application that need an internet connection simply doesn't work.. nothing. Even the download from the browser doesn't work.
I've tried with another APN that's not using a proxy and works. Also with WiFi is ok.
So, my question is: it is posible to enable http proxy in ALL programs? I had no problem on Symbian or Windows Mobile..
This is by no means a definite answer, but in your APN, try adjusting the "APN type" setting. On Telus, it's: default,mms
From what I understand you can try a combination of those two settings, or set it to nothing. See what results you get.
Thanks for the reply
Unfortunately no change.
While it's not the response you were hoping for, since no one else has responded, I would contact my provider if I were in your position. See if they can offer any insight. Good luck!
Thanks but my provider cannot do anything. I've used this connection on other platforms without problem (windows mobile, symbian).
The problem is that application take just the apn without proxy details.. Only the browser is using the proxy
It seems that's an Android issue ..
You may star this issue:

so maybe google will understand the importance of this feature.. i'm still wondering why it's not implemented as it should..
Hey guys.
I was trying to tether my S2 recently and it won't transfer data. Devices can connect to it but the device won't connect to the internet through my phone's data connection.
I did some research and it turns out that the problem stems from my APN. Currently it's set to APN Type: internet + mms + supl; however, in order for data tethering to work, I need to throw in a 'dun' there. The problem is, there's no option to set 'dun' into the apn type.
So far I've tried inserting it with APN Manager but it doesn't work. I've deleted my system/data/data/com.android.provider.telephony/database files to reset my APN's to none. Then I manually inserted one with internet + mms + supl + dun using APN Manager. However, when I select it, the 'dun' parameter seems to vanish while the others stay.
I am currently using SHOstock I ROM (2.3.6, not ICS version)
I would really appreciate some help. Thanks.
I have never seen nor heard of this "dun" parameter. Where did you read about that? Tethering works fine for me and I am using the stock APN settings, and I'm sure most others are too. You could test in on a different ROM perhaps.

Go to your apn's and look through your APN types. There's a dun parameter that allows connected wifi devices to access data.
Devices can connect to my phone but can't make use of my data for this reason.
I know there's always the last resort of reflashing another ROM but, once again, that's a last resort for me.
Hi guys,
I don't know where else to ask this, it has me totally stumped.
I just changed from O2 to Tesco pay monthly and I can't get my AOL and Gmail accounts to connect.
I've talked through the APN settings with Tesco but they're unable to figure it out either.
I can connect to the internet OK via a browser but my email accounts return an error when I go to inbox and send/receive:
"Cannot Connect", "Cannot connect with current connection settings, to change your conection settings, tap settings"
I've been through it many times without success.
My mail accounts are set up properly, they were working with the O2 SIM, and they connect fine and send/receive over WiFi.
Am I missing something?
(I also have 3 native SD android roms installed on the HD2, they won't even connect to the internet despite my best efforts, phone calls work fine though).
I put the Tesco SIM in an old Wildfire, and it configured correctly straight away
Spent all day googling and trying to figure this out
Help. :crying:
What was the settings they gave you ?
Was it WAP based internet .
What WM ROM are you using, do you have the HTC connection setup link in Settings>Connections as that has Tesco Mobile settings can auto install them.

Thanks for replying
APN: prepay.tesco-mobile.com
Username: tescowap
Password: password
Proxy 193.113.200.195
Port 8080
Yes, I believe it's WAP based.
Rom = 1.66.405.2 WWE
Radio = 2.15.50.14
Yes, I have the connection setup link and I've cleared/reset the database several times.
I also went into Settings>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks and removed all the previous modem settings.
I've used the database settings and also the ones sent by Tesco by text.
Tesco seem to be pretty good, their helpline operator ran through all the settings using his onscreen WM6.5 representation of the HD2's menus (I was surprised they just didn't say "not supported"), but it still doesn't work.
I'm wondering if it could be the Radio Rom, as none of my Android Roms will connect to the internet, (although WM does)
It would be a major task to hard reset, as I have some critical work apps installed and configured just right, so I don't want to do that unless there's no other choice.
If you get another providers sim to work on internet then I doubt it device or radio but rather settings as WAP & proxy is a bit of a pain.
Try the following (I hope has small variation on what you may of tried already !, be sure double check typing & make sure the modem connection has the black selection dot in it once completed; settings>connections>connections>manage existing connections. Add a new modem connection ("New" soft key). Put a appropriate name for new modem connection and choose "cellular line (GPRS)" Next enter apn address, prepay.tesco-mobile.com . Next enter username, tescowap . and password, password . Finish . Under proxy tab , tick "this network uses a proxy.." Put 193.113.200.195 in proxy server box . Tap advanced and put 193.113.200.195:8080 for the first 3 (HTTP, WAP, Secure WAP) and 193.113.200.195:1080 for the last (Socks). Exit from settings then go back in & check you can see the new modem setting & that it the checked connection option, exit again & Soft reset & fingers crossed ...
I'm using a custom WM ROM so don't be put off too much if some details seem named differently.
You may want clean out existing settings or try couple of changes in details if doesn't work :-S
Not a keen fan of your radio version but it is a well used one & I not seen internet connection issues with it but you never know ! so a radio change maybe worth a shot if really come to an end on the settings !
Hi, this is a screenshot of the settings, I think I got it right?
It still doesn't work
instead of port 8080 try 9201 !
I do remember newer builds of Magicall software caused internet connection failure, u happen to have that by any chance !
Port 9201 disables all my internet connection and email still not working
I tried 8080 again, internet back but no email.
I don't have magicall, though I wish I did sometimes
In connections advanced tab under select networks button what do you have selected for programs that automatically connect to the internet ?
Seems it actually connecting in terms of internet means you can't be far off.
Worth running through mail settings & see if anything can be adjusted to help.
Also what mail type is setup here (IMAP/POP3) & does Tesco Mobile have any limitations on mail server connections ?

I can't find anything except the normal settings to adjust. Plus my email settings work fine over WiFi

AOL is IMAP4, I haven't asked Tesco Mobile if they have any specific limitations but the standard settings work fine with the SIM in a Wildfire running Android 2.2, I've gone through all the working settings on the Wildfire to see whether there's anything different there but I can't find anything, though I suppose there might be some small but important setting I've missed
I also tried to set up a gmail account on the HD2, but that doesn't work either
I spent most of a day trying to get an APN definition for MMS working on my new (and first) smartphone. Searching for answers, I found a lot of conflicting information regarding the meaning and specification of "APN type." I finally decided to go to the source (code) to understand. Here's what I found for Android 4.1.1 (sorry if this is duplicative, but nowhere could I find an exhaustive list):
from /android/4.1.1/frameworks/base/telephony/java/com/android/internal/telephony/Phone.java, /android/4.1.1/frameworks/base/telephony/java/com/android/internal/telephony/DataConnectionTracker.java, and /android/4.1.1/frameworks/base/core/java/android/net/ConnectivityManager.java
default any type for which no APN entry is defined
mms Multimedia Messaging Service
supl Secure User Plane Location, geographic device location
dun Dial Up Networking bridge
hipri High Priority Mobile data
ims IP Multimedia Subsystem
fota Over the air Adminstration
cbs Carrier Branded Services
* all types of traffic (literal asterisk string)
"APN type" may be specified by including one or more of the above strings in a comma-separated list (apparently only lower-case, no spaces). In my case (Italy Coop-Voce branded service apparently carried by TIM), specifying a GPRS APN with APN type "default" and a second APN definition with APN type "mms" was sufficient to provide working Internet, SMS, and MMS access. After saving the MMS APN definition, I saw that it showed no radio-button for selection. I thought that meant the definition was faulty, but not so; it works just fine for MMS nonetheless (apparently the radio button selects only the primary data APN).
from /android/4.1.1/frameworks/base/core/java/android/net/ConnectivityManager.java
MMS An MMS-specific Mobile data connection. This connection may be the same as TYPE_MOBILE but it may be different. This is used by applications needing to talk to the carrier's Multimedia Messaging Service servers. It may coexist with default data connections.
SUPL A SUPL-specific Mobile data connection. This connection may be the same as TYPE_MOBILE but it may be different. This is used by applications needing to talk to the carrier's Secure User Plane Location servers for help locating the device. It may coexist with default data connections.
DUN A DUN-specific Mobile data connection. This connection may be thesame as TYPE_MOBILE but it may be different. This is used by applicaitons performing a Dial Up Networking bridge so that the carrier is aware of DUN traffic. It may coexist with default data connections.
HIPRI A High Priority Mobile data connection. This connection is typically the same as TYPE_MOBILE but the routing setup is different. Only requesting processes will have access to the Mobile DNS servers and only IP's explicitly requested via requestRouteToHost will route over this interface if a default route exists.
IMS IP Multimedia Subsystem
FOTA Over the air Adminstration.

Note: directory structure and module content vary with Android version. Some earlier versions do not define all above APN types; otherwise, type strings and meanings appear to be consistent across versions.
Thank you for sharing.
I know it's an old post but I won't to open a new thread since I think this is still gave good informations about apn.
I would like to know if it's useful tu change apn type values manually.
My previous carrier(wind) in type apn had this values:
Code:
default,supl,agps,fota,dun
.
My current carrier (kena mobile) has just
Code:
default
in apn type and
Code:
pap
in authentication method.
This are the settings obtained via carrier auto-configuration procedure for Moto G5 plus(my smartphone).
What do you think? It's useful tu add different values after
Code:
default
or it's a total waste of time since the carrier system override what you set locally on your device?
Thank you very much.
there's also the "admin" type which you can use for using duplicated SIM cards.
T-Mobile's APN settings for the LG ThinQ has a type called "xcap":
Sorry, don't have enough posts to include the link.
Anyone know what xcap is for? I Googled for this APN type value, but haven't found anything about this value.
Thanks,
Q
Thanks for the info. Valuable information in this post. Thumbs up!
