Beautiful widgets Mobile APN toggle problem


Recommended Posts

I am using beautiful widgets mobile toggle, and this works by changing the names of the APN from "APN" to "APN[disabled]" to stop data usage.

But my problem is this only does this for the top two APNs on my ROM (lightweight froyo), which are GiffGaff and 02, and the one i need disabled is the Tesco one 6th down. I can't delete the APNs using the phone as they're built in with the ROM, so was wondering if theres a way of disabling all of the APNs, or deleting them using the USB transfer and changing the unsigned ROM?

I would need to be told what to do, as ROMs are fairly new to me as this is my forst android phone.

Thanks

Anyone?

Sorry to be impatient, but this is the only problem I have with my San Fran and I really want to sort it out

Get the App "APN Backup & Restore" to delete APNs, worked for me.

I used APN Backup & restore from the market. Made a backup of the APNs then edited the xml file it produced on my pc with notepad (turned off wordwrap), it was located on my sd card in a new folder called APN backup. I simply removed all the entries except the ones I wanted. Placed the edited file back in the APN Backup folder on my sd card. Then use APN backup to delete all APNs followed by restoring the edited file - if all goes well you will only have the APNs you want.

Even if you do get it working it will only disable 3g data (As 2g data doesn't need an APN)

Sorry I can't help you with your problem though :P

This worked perfectly, also turned out that whoever put the APNs on the lightweight froyo ROM actually used the wrong password, which i have now corrected on mine.

Shame i cant edit on the phone as i always get force close :P

Thank you very much though
