Hi laurastr
I have a Nexus 5 too and really struggled with the APN settings
I've posted about it in another thread - found it and copied the settings below
The Tweakker app and the published settings didn't work so try this:
Install guides
Whenever I switched sims (so, when I was in the UK and used a UK sim) the 48 APN settings were erased and I'd have to enter them all over again when I came home and put my 48 sim back in. I got a new micro sim sent out and miraculously, that applies all the correct APN settings straight off with no faffing, so you might think about just getting 48 to send you a new sim and see how you fare

Can you post your APN settings here please?
Did you reboot?
Hope this helps.

If you leave the APN Type blank then can you send/receive MMS messages?
I thought that for the APN configuration to cover internet and MMS you needed something like "*" or "default" or "default,mms" or "default,mms,supl" etc.?
I too found that I had to mess around with the APN Type and Authentication settings to get things to work and in some cases (on some phones or ROMs) the settings were not the same as those recommended by the guides.
As I keep saying I really don't understand why it seems so difficult to get the APN configured and working in the general case on 48 (or maybe any virtual or real operator).
If you lose APN settings when roaming and then coming back then perhaps APN Backup and Restore might be of some use to you (but I think you need to have a rooted device)?

Hi Dalyer,
I think picture messaging probably doesn't work - I never use them and don't know anyone who does. It's no loss since at least I can use the internet with these settings
Also APN backup and restore doesn't work with Android 4.0 and above

Just a reminder that to send MMS you need three things ... (a) a data allowance (b) your internet/MMS APN configured correctly and (c) cash credit - 30c per MMS. That said I'm sure that there are people (like you?) who don't need MMS but others may want to configure the APN so that it works for both internet and MMS.
Apologies about APN Backup and Restore - I did not realise that it doesn't work on more recent versions of Android. But I'm sure that there are other APB backup/restore utility apps out there...?
Hope this helps.

Hi lautastr
Follow up:
Have you had success with the settings? Is your Internet up & running?

Strange you cannot get MMS working but if you don't need it then I guess you can do without...? 🙂
I forgot that the security settings on more recent Android releases prevents stuff like APN backup/restore.
And yes - I think you need to root and maybe convert the user app to a system app to be able to do that.
Hope this helps.
