Where are configuration messages located in Android Nougat?

[AC Question]

I just got a new SIM and when the network sent me the "Configuration messages", I wasn't able to find them anywhere. Nor could I locate a section that said "Configuration messages" like in the older android versions. I thought it may be a fault from the network's side but when I inserted the SIM into other phones, I was able to receive and locate my configuration messages.

Sometimes the carrier sends a text message. Sometimes, updates or changes are done automatically once you accept them. Is the phone working okay?

The phone is fine but the Internet configuration messages have not been installed.

Welcome as a new member.

In other words, you can text and call, but have no Internet connection over mobile data? It may be worth trying a Power Off & Restart to see whether that fixes it. I've occasionally been instructed to do that myself as a final step after receiving carrier settings updates.

I'm afraid you didn't really understand what I meant. The sim is fine and so is my phone. I can connect to the internet but I can only use 2G because the internet settings have not been installed which you receive in the configuration messages whose section I cannot locate.

I just need to find where configuration messages are. But I can't locate it's section

So, what do I do?

I'm sorry, I missed your earlier response. I'll have to pass this on to others.

Thank you for your time.

Another member, hallux, has suggested contacting your carrier with the request that they send the message again.

The message is sent every time the SIM is inserted in a mobile device that doesn't have the SIM's internet settings installed. I have inserted the SIM in other devices and was able to receive the messages but not so much here. I could also access the configuration messages section in the menu in Android 5.0 but I am unable to locate any such section in Nougat.

Anyone?

I referring to the settings under Access Point Names. It's showing, "Zong Internet" and "Zongmms" but if you click on it then everything is "Not set" there meaning the Internet Settings have not been installed.

I'm 100% sure that the problem isn't in the SIM card at all. I inserted it in some other phones and was able to receive and install the Configuration messages.

I could recieve the APN settings when I had Android 5.0 on my phone but after flashing Android Nougat, I can't locate any section for the Configuration messages nor am I able to receive a pop-up for it.

My Carrier is a Chinese company called "Zong".

You say you flashed Nougat, was Nougat actually available for your device or did you find a 3rd-party ROM to install it on your device? This could be one problem resulting from the 3rd-party ROM.

 

[That Kid in Africa]

Lineage OS.

 

[hallux]

Ahhh, now we're getting somewhere. Once you start flashing 3rd-party ROMs you add a whole other layer of complexity or failure points. Your carrier may be reluctant to help much with a non-stock OS installed.

 

[That Kid in Africa]

I don't think my Carrier knows of that. I feel like I'm receiving the APN settings but am just unable to locate them. Like if there could just be a folder or a section for them?

 

[That Kid in Africa]

Haven't received a reply? anyone?

 

[Golfdriver97]

What are the known bugs for Lineage and your device?

 

[That Kid in Africa]

I don't know.

 

[belodion]

How about reflashing the stock ROM?
