Are you a Sony Docomo HP user encountering issues with accessing the internet and hotspots? If so, don’t worry because the solution is easy – you just need to change the APN settings on your cellphone.
Docomo is a telecommunication operator based in Japan, and its Sony devices are popularly sold both online and offline. While these devices are priced affordably and have high specifications, some users may face difficulties in accessing the internet if they use SIM cards from operators like Telkomsel, Smartfren, Indosat, XL, Tri, and AXIS. Some users who can access the internet may still face issues with sharing the internet via hotspot.
But fear not – this guide will walk you through how to manually change the APN settings on your Sony Xperia Docomo device to overcome these challenges.

1. Open the Settings menu on your Sony Xperia device.
2. Select “Internet Network.”
3. Choose “Mobile Network.”
4. Go to “Access Point Name.”
5. Click the “+” sign above.
6. Fill out the APN configuration for your mobile operator.
7. Don’t forget to set the APN Type to “default,dun” to access wifi hotspot.
8. Save and activate the APN created earlier.
