Apn?

[MiXoLoGiSt]

Hey guys, What is APN? I had a toggle widget that said APN and i clicked it to see what it would do and now all of a sudden im not getting pic messages. Im not sure what APN is and i cant find it anywhere in settings. All i found was VPN.

So how do i get to it and how is it supposed to be set?

Not sure I saw you said "What is APN" so I just answered that. Is toggling that function on the widget you pressed it on not working?

No it doesnt toggle it. It opened up the settings and i hit restore to default but not sure if it worked.

EDIT: Im just going to do a factory reset. As much as i hate to i think this will be the easiest thing to do.

Ok did a reset and its back to normal.

Even simpler, when you are trying to connect to a wireless access point, this is the name you will see, such as "linksys". Some folks pick funny names, such as:

"connect for identity theft"
"no free wifi"
"pedophile next door"
"droid does"
"default"
"cant touch this"


To change the wifi name used on your droid, for other devices that would tether to the phone:
wifi tether for root users
menukey > settings > change SSID > enter new SSID

Also, you can do the same for Bluetooth too

settings > wireless & networks > Bluetooth settings > device name (Bluetooth needs to be on)
