Have a locked 920 on Straight Talk that has worked fine up until this morning. The normal tricks that get data working again (turning data on/off, restarting phone) aren't working this time. Have the APN settings changed? Here's what I have for my two settings screens:

Internet APN:
APN: att.mvno
Username: blank
Password: blank
Proxy server (URL): proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
Proxy port: 80

MMS APN:
APN: att.mvno
Username: blank
Password: blank
WAP gateway (URL): 66.209.11.33
WAP gateway port: 80

I'm right there with you. I thought it was just me. Mine started no to work on Monday, and ST support verified that I have the correct settings. I'm stuck as what to do now.

Do you have an original 920 purchased in one of the first batches? I honestly think I just have a crap phone. It's slowly gotten worse and I put up with it because I know usually restarting will fix it.

I didn't change a thing. Just did a restart one last time before I went to bed and put it on the Qi charger. Woke up to "4G" showing next to my bars again, whereas nothing had been showing the day before.

Interesting. My 4G indicator has never gone away. I just can't access for crap and I've done all the tricks, deleted all settings and rebuilt, rebooted in between and nothing.

Have you guys installed Access Point? Since it came out, I haven't experience issues with the data turning on and off randomly. Download Access Point and select AT&T - LTE 1 - Lumia and you should be up and running.

Apparently, Straight Talk changed their apn settings to as follows. I only know this because I lost my data, called them up, and this is what they gave me and now I'm working again.

Internet APN:
APN: tfdata
Username: blank
Password: blank
Proxy server (URL): blank
Proxy port: blank

MMS APN:
APN: tfdata
Username: blank
Password: blank
Proxy (or MMSC) address mms3.tracfone.com
Proxy port: 80
MMSC address http://mms-tf.net

I had to replace my SIM card and used above tfdata setting and it worked with new SIM. I also used access point and created a new apn instead of using cellular apn entry. Good luck;)

I tried all the setting available online, nothing worked for me. This is what worked for my Nokia Lumia 920 bought from Roger and got Straight Talk Tmobile SIM. I got this from nokia lumia 920 access point is missing from setti... - Nokia Support Discussions


And here's the fix .... finally !



1) Delete any existing Internet & MMS APN profiles stored in the handset, by tapping: Start, Settings, Mobile Settings, and scroll to the bottom of the screen and remove each apn manually by tapping edit, then tap the delete icon (looks like a waste bin) at the bottom right of the screen (you might need to tap "..." to reveal the option.)

2)Once all Apn's are removed, make sure the phone is connected via wifi, and open the following URL in Internet Explorer in the handset: (it may be easier to email yourself these links so you can simply open them on the handset).

access point | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)

Follow the instructions on screen to install the Nokia update. This will add a new settings menu to the handset "Access Point", which is missing on phones bought from Phones4u or the EE companies in the UK (like mine!).

3) Following the above instructions again, but this time for the following app - "network+". Again, this is a Nokia settings update downloaded through the handset's Windows App Store/Marketplace:

network+ | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)

4) And the final step is to download the app called "extras+info" :

extras+info | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)

Once all the above are done, the phone must be rebooted.

5) Now go to the settings menu, and scroll to the bottom. You should now see a new menu called: "Access Point". Tap it and you'll end up with a screen listing any APN's the phone has already found from the sim card (or previous sim cards inserted). Crucially, Virgin won't be listed at first, and even if it is, you'll need to amend the apn details.. because if you try adding a new apn named "Virgin", you'll get a message saying "Virgin already exists", even though it's not showing in the list of apn's. So the workaround here, is to name it virgin with a small v. Then enter the APN settings for both internet and MMS found here:

https://virgin.wdsglobal.com/phonefirst?step=phone.vm&phoneId=5143&captchaEnabled=true&contractId=28...

(on that link: References to "Wap Gateway Address" and "Wap Gateway Port" means "Proxy address" and "Proxy Port" as shown in the handset!)

6) Once done entering the details, make sure to tap on the tick icon at the bottom.

7) Now "virgin" should be displayed in the list of access points. If not already showing as "active", simply tap and hold on "virgin", and select "activate" from the pop up menu. It should now say "active" in red.

8) Hit Start button, then reboot, and then send yourself a picture message (this is required in order to activate/provision MMS on your Virgin Mobile UK account. Enjoy!
