Updating the wireframes will take a while, but the solution in brief:

* "APN"/"APNs" should be promoted to the top-level "Cellular" screen, immediately below "Carrier"/"Carrier".

* With APNs out of the way, the way of triggering a search for carriers should be by entering the "Carrier" screen (single SIM) or the "SIM x" screen (multi-SIM). The search should stop if you exit the screen.

* The list of carriers should always start with "Automatic", followed by whichever carriers have been detected so far. Whenever "Automatic" is currently selected, it should have as its value the name of the automatically chosen carrier, or "None" if none has been chosen yet.

Since the carrier scan (a) may take minutes, but (b) may be interrupted at any time, probably there should be a spinner somewhere. To decide where to put it, I need to know: Does a carrier scan ever "finish"? Or does it just continue indefinitely until you exit?
