Hello,

Can you tell us more information about which Android version you are using?
Also in which mode is it configured? You can see this part in the last option under "Settings", it will say "About tablet" or "About phone".

Hello,

You need to modify a file to get those options.
Open device/ti/beagleboneblack/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml; on line 62, under "<item>"ethernet,9,9,2,-1,true"</item>" add a new line with "<item>"mobile,0,0,0,-1,true"</item>". Then on line 72, under "<item>"9,1"</item>" add a new line with "<item>"0,1"</item>".
Now you need to recompile Android and reflash the new rootfs you generated.
This will add the "Mobile networks" option under the "More..." menu of "Wireless & Networks".

Hello,

Android uses a database of APN and try to find a matching entry when you insert a SIM card.
By default the BBB image doesn't have this database of APN included, you need to add it manually.
Open device/ti/beagleboneblack/device.mk, and on line 28 add:

PRODUCT_COPY_FILES += \
device/ti/beaglebone/apns-full-conf.xml:system/etc/apns-conf.xml

If you want to have your own APN included in your image, you can add it to device/ti/beaglebone/apns-full-conf.xml

Now you need to recompile Android and reflash the new rootfs you generated.
This will add APNs so your radio device will be able to connect automatically.
