It has been awhile since I set up my network connections. Do you have fAPN and fMMS installed? I added and deleted my data connections with fAPN until they worked with my provider. The fAPN and fMMS treads here seem pretty active. Good luck.

Re: delete APN (data connection)
 

You can't delete GPRS data connection access points that are automatically generated by information gathered from your SIM card. This is for your protection so you never accidentally delete your providers GSM access point, leaving you with no GPRS/EDGE/UMTS data access.

Since there is no method out of the box to create data access points on the N900, it assumes that any GPRS data access point is one that was created automatically so you can't delete any of them.

fAPN allows you to create new Access GPRS data access points and also to delete those GPRS access points.

I could not remember if I deleted the default connection. My provider does not support the N900 directly but gave me the proxy, port, wap and mms info and said have at it. The order seems to matter as it would open a mms connection with the web browser on my first setup. Thus a few edits and deletes to fine tune it.
Thanks for the clarification cddiede,
Take care.

Thanks for the answers :)

But i have two data connections one which i have get from my provider and one i have made with fmms but the second i cant delete

and fmms dont use the original mms configuration from my provider and i cant read out the password of the config to configure fmms

my provider is t mobile

tomorow i will check it out if its workin with the connection from t mobile ?!

Re: delete APN (data connection)
 

gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/z_fMMS-APN
that should remove the fmms one

as for your provider, as mentioned above, be careful you dont remove your default one. as long as you know its not it then...

if you run:
gconftool-2 -R /system/osso/connectivity/IAP

it should give a list of all the connections you have, whatever the path is to the provider one you don't want, add that to the first command i gave you

I have GPRS connection named "T-Mo MMS" and want to delete it. Could you pls type the whole command for that name? Also, how do I "run" commends? I know very little about programming.
Thanks!

Re: delete APN (data connection)
 

I'm trying to remove an MMS APN which my N900 keeps automatically connecting to. If I delete it, following these steps, can I re set it later in case I want it back?

Thanks for the info.

This procedure does not remove mine. Is it because I have the CSSU as opposed to maemo? I want to remove this annoying problem.

Re: delete APN (data connection)
 

Run the second command. You will get a long list of APN entries, some of which will have paths ending in long alphanumerics like aff98e8.... Take the last segment of the path for the one you want to remove, and use it to replace "z_fMMS-APN" in the first command.

Worked like a charm for me.

Why not using Gconf-Editor. It's a way more comfortable to edit and configure gconf entries.
See here ;) [Maemo 5] gconf-editor for N900 PR1.3 ready

Edit: Or, what I did was to find the proper name of the connection I want to get rid of, then opened filebox and went to
and simply deleted the folder with the name of the unwanted connection. Reboot and done!
