On the main screen, slide down the notification menu.  Look for the Shortcut section and you should have a default shortcut called Settings.  From there, click on More and then Mobile Network,  once inside the menu, please tab on Access Point Name, You should see a list of default APN’s that came setup on the phone, depending where you bought it, it may contain one or more pre-configure settings.  Tab on the menu and select the Create new APN (or Add new) this way we ensure all settings will come fresh and avoid modifying existing ones.

The menu will contain a few parts, which you should pay close attention to, as you will need to enter most of the fields with the information related to your mobile operator.  In case you don’t have it, you can just do a quick search on our blog and you will find them easily.  If there are several APNs available, try to look for the 4G or LTE ones, as this gives the fastest connection to the Mate 8

Please make sure you filled in both the APN Settings and MMS Settings section (MMS port, etc.).  After inputting all required fields, save the APN, exit and try browsing the internet.

If things work properly, you should see a small icon on the upper right hand side of the phone where it shows a little icon that says: 4G or LTE, 3G, H, H+, depending on the coverage that the provider has.
