APN Settings [RESOLVED]

[TheAssailant]

Yes I know I can root to do this. I want to know if there's a non-root workaround that allows you to edit the APN settings to get data internationally while using a foreign SIM card.

I've noticed not everything is locked and the menu is still openable so maybe there's a sneaky workaround.

If I find anything myself I'll edit this post.

EDIT: I've posted the results as the second reply to this thread.

Re: APN Settings

you gotta rub your head and pat your tummy at same time.

you tap the version line in "about".... 5 times and it brings up developer mode and EDIT the apn from there.. or its something similar. dont have it near me

Re: APN Settings

I've figured it out now that I'm here in Europe. Once you've inserted a non-Verizon SIM card, the options to add APNs opens up.

Proof:



That icon is an ongoing notification stating its a non-Verizon SIM. No root or carrier unlock was necessary, but root might be recommended to remove the notification.

I have a Verizon samsung s4 and using an Airtel Sim card. Nothing shows up in the APN settings. how do i go about it now?

TheAssailant can you list the steps you used to get a non verizon sim working?

I know I need to go here:

settings > connections > more networks > mobile networks > Access point Names


That's all I know.
