Troubleshooting
| roubleshooting Step | How I Fixed It and Why It Worked | ✅ Right/Wrong ❌ |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Verify APN Settings | I found that even a small typo in the APN field (mobile.sky) could cause no internet connectivity. Double-checking every field in the settings fixed my issue instantly. | ✅ |
| 2. Use “default,supl,mms” for APN Type | Initially, I left the APN Type field blank, and MMS wouldn’t send. Adding default,supl,mms resolved the issue by correctly routing traffic for internet and multimedia messages. | ✅ |
| 3. Switch APN Protocol to IPv4/IPv6 | My device was set to IPv4 only, which limited compatibility with certain apps. Switching to IPv4/IPv6 gave me better speeds and reduced latency, especially for video calls. | ✅ |
| 4. Clear Network Cache | When my phone couldn’t connect after switching SIM cards, clearing the network cache via Reset Network Settings resolved lingering configuration conflicts. | ✅ |
| 5. Avoid Using Unused Proxy Fields | I added a proxy value without knowing its purpose. This caused my browser to fail loading pages. Leaving the proxy field blank restored normal browsing behavior. | ❌ |
| 6. Test Alternative APNs | Using mobile.sky didn’t work in one specific location. I tried an alternative APN (mobile.o2), which temporarily improved connectivity until the main network was restored. | ✅ |
| 7. Set Bearer to “LTE Only” | I left the Bearer setting as “Unspecified,” which caused my phone to connect to slower 3G networks. Manually setting it to LTE ensured my device used the fastest available connection. | ✅ |
| 8. Forget Wi-Fi Networks During Testing | Forgetting saved Wi-Fi networks ensured my phone wasn’t defaulting to Wi-Fi during tests. This step revealed that the issue was with the mobile data, not the local Wi-Fi network. | ✅ |
| 9. Avoid Resetting APN Without Backups | I reset my APN settings without backing them up, which erased custom configurations I needed. Always back up your settings before attempting a reset. | ❌ |
| 10. Update Device Firmware | After an Android update, my phone couldn’t save new APN settings. Updating the firmware resolved this compatibility issue and ensured the latest network features were supported. | ✅ |

Absolute star. Never been able to access internet without wifi and found I had no apn settings. Got sky to send them to my phone but they only sent mms settings.
So internet still didn’t work.
Been all over the net trying to resolve and your post speccing the internet settings did the trick. Thankyou very much indeed.
