APN cannot be set

[LionelB]

Despite install of OTA 3.5 to Aquaris 4.5 I am unable to set APN. One field is saved in internet APN but if the custom setting is ticked, the tick disappears on leaving the page.

MMS APN fields can be filled out but when I go back to the settings they are all empty.

My provider does not use name or password. Maybe save does not work if username and password fields are left intentionally blank ?

There is a default setting for EE present, triggered by the SIM. That is not my provider though. Not the setting I want.

I have no data, no MMS.

Thank you for your bug report. Could you add some details on your carrier and also the settings they provide?

We are working on improving the APN-configuration panel in Ubuntu System Settings, but in the mean time you could try manually removing the default setting for EE and then rebooting your phone. There are several way to do this, they are all a bit technical, but this one [1] can be typed into the phone.

I use the Phone Coop. The settings for various OS are det out on their FAQ page. Scroll down.

Looks like I have a solution. Many thanks to Jonas for leading me through it.

The default setting for EE was triggered by the SIM. In the UK there are numerous resellers, using the main networks. EE is 'correct' for the carrier but that default has the wrong settings. The default is now successfully removed.

PhoneCoop (my provider) has two different settings for APN. One lease, one pay as you go. My error was to confuse the two.

For PAYG internet APN = access point is tslpaygnet proxy disabled no password

For leased internet APN = access point is tslpaymnet proxy disabled no password

Just for completeness, the MMS APN settings are the same whether lease or PAYG

APN tslmms

proxy 193.35.133.194

MMS port 8080

MMS url http://mms

This bug has two fixes: 1) The details needs to be added to the database 2) It must be possible to set a preferred context: bug 1361864

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

@Jonas, is there anything for settings then? the database you mentioned as 1) is not a u-s-s one, and the other issue already have a bug number

Just to clarify, internet APN is working fine for me now. MMS is not functional though.

As of r23 on the BQ Aquaris, the APNs for Phone Coop are correct in the apns-conf.xml file:

  <apn carrier="Internet"
      mcc="234"
      mnc="33"
      apn="tslpaygnet"
      authtype="0"
      type="default,supl,agps,fota,dun"
      mvno_type="spn"
      mvno_match_data="LIFE"
  />

  <apn carrier="MMS"
      mcc="234"
      mnc="33"
      apn="tslmms"
      authtype="1"
      user="wap"
      password="wap"
      mmsc="http://mms/"
      mmsproxy="193.35.133.194"
      mmsport="8080"
      type="mms"
      mvno_type="spn"
      mvno_match_data="LIFE"
  />

Also changing the ofono task to Invalid, as this bug is really about the APN Editor itself. Also, assigning to Jonas, adding the correct task for RTM, and affecting Canonical System Image. Note, it's likely this could be treated as a duplicate...

Same issue seen on Meizu MX4 running on 15.04 r3. Deleting the extra APN's forces the phone to select the correct one, but the MMS stays still incorrect (uses the same as the internet). Is there a possibility to change the APN from command line?
