It may have happened to you when you went abroad, or if you’ve changed operators, you can’t connect to the internet or can not send pictures. If that is the case, it is probably because of the APN configured on your Doogee X9. So we decided to draft this post to fix this situation. We will initially find out what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Doogee X9. Finally, we will see in which situations you should modify the APN on the Doogee X9.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN therefore represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Doogee X9 to connect to the web and receive MMS. An incorrectly configured APN may therefore prevent your Doogee X9 from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You have to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How you can set up an APN on your Doogee X9
If you want to configure an APN on your Doogee X9, you will need to go to the Settings menu. When you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You need to navigate to Advanced Settings and lastly Access Point Names . When you are there, you must click the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose New APN . You’ll then access a form that you will need to fill in with the data of your operator. One example is, if you are at Vodafone , you must find the Vodafone APN data on the net and copy it into the form. Normally, the APN of each operator are very easily findable. You must do it again 2 times the procedure on your Doogee X9. In truth, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you configure an APN on your Doogee X9?
Generally, you do not necessarily need to set up an APN on your Doogee X9 as it’s usually done automatically. Nevertheless, there are a few situations that require the configuration of an APN on your Doogee X9. This is for example the case if you purchased your used Doogee X9 and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This can also be the case if you’re traveling abroad and therefore change your SIM card.
