I have a quick question.

I am successfully rooted (can run super user app) and I successfully replaced the apns-config.xml with an updated one.

When I do cat apns-sonfig.xml it shows me the correct content.

But when I restart, and go to mobile networks and press apn, nothing shows up. Like, nothing. It just says APNs and a black screen.

What is going on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ogxjason15:
Did you set the correct Permissions for the file? If you're using root explorer, make sure you set it as: (Read: Owner, Group, Others) (Write: Owner) and the rest should be unchecked.

Hope this helps.

When I run this on an ATT rom I get the APN options but it breaks my menus and shows the stock verizon menu in settings. Is this normal? Is there any way to get around it? I'm running the ATT Novella ROM on my verizon phone. Nice ROM but no way to change APNs. I travel a lot so I need that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] beefchopper:
I downloaded the APN Manager Pro app, used Titanium to convert it to a system app and that seems to allow me to add any APN I want. I say seems to because it definitely does allow me to add them but I haven't gotten out of the country yet to actually try it out using my foreign sim card. I don't have any dometic non Verizon sim card to test it on while I'm in the US. I'm pretty sure it is working, though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 18davinci:
Just want to make sure

I am rooted and running a deodexed rom.

I downloaded the apn editor and am comfortable flashing it.

I downloaded the apk to block Verizon's message and am comfortable pushing it to system apps.

Does this have any affect on my phone right now if I am not traveling right now? Should I wait until I travel?

I am traveling to Mexico, Ireland, and England soon. Is holidayphone.com a good place to buy prepaid micro sim cards?

If I perform the above and buy a prepaid micro sim card, is there anything else that I have to do after physically installing the sim card? (add apn data? Do I use the global apn app to do this and how do I know what the apn data to add is? Thank you in advance for a response.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hugeyeti:
My Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II has been successfully unlocked, jailbroken by CASUAL about 20 minutes ago. How exactly do I begin flashing a rom/mod? I need to input APN settings since I will be traveling to several countries in Asia (changing SIMS) and I rather not modify the .xml file manually so Option 1 is best for me at this time. I am fairly new at this so please break it down as much as you can. As always, any input would be appreciated. Thanks. P.S. I downloaded the apn editor.zip and ready to begin flashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hugeyeti:
Never mind the post. My phone apps are not deodexed (I checked system/apps with Root explorer) So option 1 will not work. Sounds like I have to do option 2. These VZ bastards... I tell you.... hiding APN settings... sheesh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] YBCold:
Hello all,

I was hoping someone could help walk me through the root process and adjusting the APN setting. If anyone is will please pm me.

I have flashed several tables, but never a phone and can't afford to screw this up.

Thanks,

This depends on whether or not T-Mobile has upgraded the towers in your area to serve 4G on the 1900MHz frequency.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kidnice15:
Just stumbled upon this and thought I would ask a few questions.. Right now I am on Verizon with the GN2, My brother is thinking of switching carriers, ( Virgin Mobile ) Money is tight right now, well I can not see myself going to virgin mobile, so I was thinking of just going to tmobile and doing the pay as you go plan and still use my GN2. I read a whole bunch of post but just wanted to ask a question. Is it possible to use my verizon GN2 on tmobile? I am already stock just rooted, just haven't done any of the apn settings yet. Just wanted to know if it possible before I start messing with stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
Yes, but you likely will be stuck on EDGE or other 2G network. They haven't switched their HSPA+ service over to a VZW Note 2 supported band in most markets. You could probably sell your VZW Note 2 and pick up a T-Mobile Note 2, or find someone to trade with though if you did want better service.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hidavi:
in NYC and Jersey (Jersey City included), the 1900MHz band is on hspa+ almost everywhere. I get along on TMO just fine!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deveal2014:
I wondered

I wondered if I have the Verizon Note 2 but use t-mobile service should I flash the T-mobile roms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AlpineMan:
So let's say I pop in an AT&T or Tmobile SIM card, I go to Settings, Network mode. What should be selected there? I see Global, LTE/CDMA, and GSM/UMTS. Then when I put back my Verizon SIM card, I assume LTE/CDMA, correct?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kidnice15:
So I would at least have hspa+? I mean if worst comes to worse, I would just sell my note 2 and pick up a new phone, but my phone is set up to my liking and don't want to go through setting up a new phone again lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
No, you flash ROMs based on the device you have, not the service you're using. You could potentially port T-mobile ROMs, but you'd still need the VZW related libs and such.

Should just work automatically, at least it did when I put a T-Mobile SIM in my phone. APN data wasn't there, but automatically was on T-Mobile's network and I could call the T-Mobile #

You'd need to test it to be sure you have it in your area.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] leonoe:
With 4.1.2 there is now an option to add a new APN...Settings --> More settings --> Mobile networks --> Access Point Names.Go to the menu and you will see an option for "+ Add new access point".

Put your non-verizon SIM in, and the menu will become available.

---------- Post added at 04:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 AM ----------

Beantown106 Jelly Beans ROMs usually includes the APN editor and the international APN Conf file. Just put your AT&T SIM in and it will either select the correct APN automatically or show you a selection that match the SIM.

Quick Question. I am rooted and unlocked bootloader running Beans17 rom. I have the option to to hit the menu button and change apn settings. I am wanting to drop Verizon and go to either straight talk or virgin mobile prepay. Is this possible? And if Verizon blacklists this phone will I still be able to use it on either of those carriers? And being that I am rooted and stuff do I still have to go through all the stuff in the op. or just put the sim in and add the apn's myself?

Sorry for so questions. Just trying to find out which way to go on this. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RomsWell:
Yes should be fine. As for blacklisting it depends on what kind. Non payment isnt really blacklisted. Stolen or insurance claim is another matter.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobntaz1996:
Yeah I guess I meant the non payment part lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FMXP:
Does this mean the APN Editor is now usable on stock Verizon 4.1.2 when you put in another SIM? What about the non-Verizon SIM message? Is that gone now?

You do not need APN Editor. I have a non Verizon SIM and confirms this works. Once you put in the SIM, go to the APN menu and the option to add a new APN will become available. My SIM is non-US so not sure if you put in another US carrier's SIM (ATT, T-mobile) if this will work...

Unfortunately Settings Has Stopped

After installing this with TWRP I am getting "Unfortunately Settings Has Stopped" . I wiped everything and did a factory restore via TWRP but the problem still persists. How do I undo this install other than a full stock recovery?

UPDATE: Installed MeanBean ROM and settings work again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Superguy:
I was getting that too with Scott's Clean ROM 3.1.

I ended up not needing it as the APNs were editable once a non-Verizon SIM card was put in the phone. And even then, it may not be needed as it pulled the APN from the SIM card in my case.

Phone worked very well on Czech Vodafone.

You don't really have to do anything to access the APNs to get data working in my experience with a forum SIM. This thread does note how to remove the foreign SIM notice though.

Trying to do a ton of searching and figure this out...

So what it seems is that I can just take my Verizon Note 2, pop in a prepaid SIM card, update the APN settings, and upon activation of the SIM card, all will be fine?

Also, is there a way to find what prepaid carriers are available in my area? My area code is 44055, if that helps any.

Thanks,

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AlpineMan:
If you have AT&T or Tmobile in your area, then you can go with their respective MVNO prepaid services.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roblikeschocolatecake:
Okay, thanks.

Could you perhaps recommend which is best?

I've got in my area: Straight Talk, T-Mobile, AT&T, NET10

Also, it must be an unlocked GSM compatible service provider, correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AlpineMan:
Next to Verizon, I would go with AT&T prepaid. Straight Talk is an example, but make sure you're getting the AT&T version of Straight Talk prepaid. They sell the SIM card at Walmart for like $15.

Okay and one last question.

When activating my prepaid sim will I be getting a new phone number? My Verizon contract is already canceled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AlpineMan:
My guess is yes since your Verizon contract is already cancelled...ie you've already lost your number unless you ported to your prepaid provider before cancelling.

Verizon phones have both cdma/lte for their network, & gsm for other networks. You can use a Verizon phone on other GSM networks, too.

AT&T and T-Mobile only have gsm. They only work on GSM networks, not Verizon's.

Can someone else confirm that when you put in a foreign sim the add APN option shows up (not grayed out) in the mobile networks menu?

The add apn option appears but it grayed out when the Verizon sim is inserted, and this mod no longer works on 4.1.2. I want to make sure I will actually be able to use the foreign sim if I spend the money on it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] allen81:
Hi Guys,

Just inherited a Galaxy Note 2 i605 - wanted to know how I can make it work with Wind Mobile (Canadian carrier) which uses the same AWS bands as T-Mobile USA. The phone is completely stock, which I tried to put my Wind Sim in it, it wouldn't recognize it at all, not even voice. I even added APN settings and still nothing...

From what I have read so far, the phone is factory unlocked (great!) APN menu is accessible (so it's running 4.1.2 and no root required - great!) so don't know what I'm missing. I have helped a couple of friends do the "enable aws mod on their AT&T Note i317" is there a similar procedure available for our i605 that I'm not able to find?

I'd appreciate it if anyone can help me configure this so that I can utilize the Note 2 and retire my S2...

Thanks,

Allen.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] bladebarrier:
So, I was curious about gamepads being connected to the Nexus 7.

I did a little research and found the sixaxis app, as well as usb/bt joystick center 6.

What I'm seeing is that there is a lot of commotion about not being able to use USB devices after the 4.2 update (which I'm on, but rooted and unlocked). Apparently the USB host is locked up tight in 4.2, for whatever reason.

Do any apps still work for using a controller as they did before? Is there a community made kernel or OS update that fixes this for the Nexus 7?

There's a ton of random complaining on the internet, about different devices not being able to use some of these apps recently, but I couldn't find any real info about what the real scoop is.

I'd mostly just like to connect a generic logitech game pad, or a pocket sized bluetooth keyboard, and use it for old NES emulated games, or some such. I don't really need anything fancy going on, but I've no idea if they work at all anymore, or what kind of app will do it after 4.2.

Regards,

--bb
[Nexus 7 Accessories] player911:
I think most of this is the cause from Google swapping Bluetooth stacks to a better one by it broke compatibility with apps that were wrote with the old stack in mind.

I'm not sure what the status is on this but it is just growing pains. Google isn't blocking or specifically dropping support. Just a newer stack and updates weren't as quick as people had hoped.

USB Host mode is built in to the latest Paranoid Android beta and he said it was pretty easy to get working.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Rider797:
I can't speak for the logitech game pad or the keyboard but sixaxis app (the one by Dancing Pixels) was updated recently and it works perfectly for me, as far as gamepads you can't go wrong with a standard PS3 controller.
