SM-J320P APN Setting for GSM - GSM-Forum

I have unlocked a SM-j320P and can get a GSM signal, however, there is no option to change APN. How to activate that option?

I figured out how to to do this if anyone is interested. After unlock there was no APN setting option under Mobile Networks and even though a GSM SIM was recognized there was no way to set APN settings. Here's what I did:

1 - Rooted Phone
2 - Enabled GCF (Note: *#0011# routine did not produce a menu)
a. In ADB issue command adb shell su -c "am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://IOTHIDDENMENU"
b. When Hidden Menu apperars choose:
b1. TestMode Menu
b2. UE Setting and Info
b3. Setting
b4. Protocol
b5. GCF
b6. GSM
ReStart Phone (Still no APN setting option)
3 - Open Change APN app and enter GSM Provider APN settings, save and select

Only 3G service, but it dos work.

Too much work for a very simple thing lol... Thank you genius

You can do this without root by installing a laucher like APEX, Add the APN shortcut on the screen then set it up... the APN menu is under ACTIVITIES > SETTING
