Hi MainIdea, and welcome to Android Forums 
We're glad to have you here, and hope that we can help you. We do, however, ask that you refrain from posting your questions in other unrelated threads. That can derail discussions and increase confusion for other members who are, similarly, just trying to get help. Also, please keep in mind that we are all volunteers here; we help out because we want to, not because we have any obligation to do so. While we do our best to answer every question, please practice some patience if/when you don't get an immediate response. You may do well to review the How to Get Help link in my signature. :thumbup:
As kwknott mentioned, you can try the APN Settings Shortcut app to gain access to the Volt's APN configuration screen. Unfortunately, I don't think that changing the APN will be able to bypass your carrier's data speed throttle. You could even end up breaking your data connection, so I'd caution you against experimenting with that unless you know what you're doing.
Good luck!

That gets me to the APN listing but how do i actually add or edit one, i can not edit nor add the single on that appears.
I have a way to bypass the VM throttle i just need to add my APN. But this volt is really giving me problems because its not letting me add or edit one.
Im very sorry for posting on another thread as i sent my apologies to the OP just got stuck on one page that took 15min to load so out of frustration i was pleading for help lol.
Everyone's input is much appreciated!

I don't have a Volt so I don't know for sure, but is there a "Plus" button anywhere on the APN list screen? Alternatively, if you go into one of the entries, can you press the Menu button and select Edit?

On my Boost S2 we were able to get around throttling by deleting the proxy server out of its settings in the service menu. Of course, that was for 3G... there was a separate fix for 4G, but I didn't have WiMax so I never bothered to look into it. The solution here might by similar?
