Why is cellular data not working in the Windows Mobile 10 preview

I went into the Windows Mobile 10 preview on my Lumia 1520 and for some reason I can still get calls, but I can't get any data rolling in. I don't know if it's because of Straight Talk or the OS itself, but even if I turn the data it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

Head to the APN settings in the settings. I don't remember 10's settings layout entirely, but look for APN, cellular, access point and access those. 10 probably flipped a switch accidentally. (look up "Straight Talk APN settings" as well for guidance)

Yes, W10 builds will have the phone's default apns so you have to manually add the new ones. Go to settings>cellular/sim like xandros suggested. Scroll down to "add apn" for data and mms and put your apn settings in. You have to hit "save" for each one. Then you have to hit "apply" for each one. Also helps to restart phone after that.

I am unable to get MMS working on my 640 on 10 Mobile.

Using Metro PCS - Data works, but mms does not.

Does anyone have this working? If so can you screenshot your APN settings for me?
