Thanks, but still not able to add or modify APN with that app.  Android is becoming big brother, what happened to open source software?

You've skipped some posts. I know I replied to that OP. I think wetcoaster replied first.


There were 2 different threads on the topic. They've been merged now.

You need download this app:

It’s work for Asus Zonefon 4 Max that I’m using right now.

 


After installed app, follow the instructions to add APN. Follow this link to edit APN:

lol And I said "It's". What it's? Anyway yes the RFD post.

 

Also for the OP another SIM that would apparently work is Roam Mobility.

It's been updated to here.

Seems pretty simple actually. Download. Copy to phone. Install. Fiddle some permissions. Add APN.

 @Elliotapplebaum 

Be sure to have the right APN info once you have the app.

 

Find your phone on this list:
Officially Recognized APN Reference

If your phone isn't there maybe these might work:
APN Settings:
Name: Mobile Internet
APN: sp.mb.com
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mb/mmsc
MMS proxy: 74.49.0.18
MMS port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 220
Authentication type: Not set
APN type: default,mms,agps,supl,fota,hipri,dun
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
APN enable/disable: APN enabled

The inability to add a new APN or modifying an existing one is a known Android 8.1 problem.

 

Other people have had success putting a Freedom SIM in, which seemed to have allowed them to add a new APN, fill in Public Mobile settings, reboot. Put Public Mobile SIM in.

(I think... For me playing with an active SpeakOut SIM eventually populated the Public Mobile APN settings, but I didn't write down the exact steps, sorry.) YMMV.

The relevant post https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Phones-Hardware/Android-8-1-APN-settings/m-p/289974/h... in the big Android 8.1 APN thread: https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Phones-Hardware/Android-8-1-APN-settings/td-p/241715

 

Another way to deal with it: https://forums.redflagdeals.com/solved-fido-apn-miui-10-cant-add-apn-2239645/2/#p30756342   (Disclaimer: I have not tried this myself. But have seen several reports that it works.)
