Well I bought a G1 off eBay. The seller was fraudulent because it was supposed to be unlocked, have no ding marks and include all the accesories. It was not unlocked, it has ding marks and it is missing the carrying case + headphones.
Anyways, I've been at it night and day for it to activate. I've tried using my Dad's T-Mobile SIM card and two other SIM cards to no avail. It has a newer firmware than RC29 as it doesn't reboot when I enter "<enter>reboot<enter>"
I haven't yet tried downgrading because I can't format the card to FAT32 yet, no SD card reader on any of my Windows computers...only on Linux laptop. And there is no way for me to format it to FAT32 on Linux...
Can anyone help me? I know there are developers on here and I was wondering if they could IM with me to get this resolved.
you can try activation with AT&T, follow step by step below:
Here is Sample Setting for AT&T Data Service for Unlocked G1 Phone
Menu button -> Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> Menu Button > New APN
Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: leave blank

Or visit website: http://www.blogsdna.com/2357/how-to-unlock-t-mobile-g1-phone.htm
thats what happen to me i try tmobile sim but you need the data plan to acess google mail so i use my at&t with data plan and add the at&t setting and it work fine
You can format fat32 in linux but it's called "vfat". Try gparted.

Hey guys,
I just got my X10a and unlocked it. I popped in my SIM card and I can call and text and so forth, but i'm not getting ANY Data connection...
I tried going to the Network settings where you can choose your network, and there were 2 networks, ATT DR (data roaming?? no idea) and the ATT. I can connect to the ATT DR but not ATT (it gives me a error stating: "This SIM card does not allow connection to this network).
I live in California and wondering if anyone in this area has solved this or even have this issue? I called ATT but they were of no help, all they can keep telling me is that is because the phone is not ATT branded. But I had used a Nokia N900 on ATT and it got Edge at least....
Any ideas? Greatly appreciated.
You need to go into your settings and manually enter the AT&T apn settings.

What is the difference between AT&T DR and AT&T? Does the DR mean the phone will always be roaming whether it's calls or data?
network operator: AT&T DR
network mode: GSM/WCDMA preferred

Maybe APN - manually or automatically from SE:
Settings > Sony Ericsson > Settings download
Download settings for Internet and MMS
You'll get settings for your current carrier, so - for ATT.
Hi All
I've finally got my Desire z, which is my first android phone and I'm having trouble with it.
Firstly, my network o2 in the uk, don't support the phone so can't send through settings for internet etc. Secondly I have tried several sets of APN settings I've found online but none of them have worked.
ALso, despite having connected to my wireless network, I still can't get internet or anything working.
At one point for a couple of minutes, I did have my location and weather showing but now that is not working either.
So far my experience of the phone is nothing but disappointment as I can't do anything with it yet
Can anyone help me?
I'm on O2 UK myself and it took me a while to get it right, but here's what I have and it all works okay (both standard Internet data as well as MMS)
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names
You need to create two APNs, delete everything else you might have:
Name: O2 GPRS (or anything you want)
APN: mobile.o2.co.uk
Proxy: <Not set>
Port: <Not set>
Username: mobileweb
Password: password
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: <Not set>
MMS proxy: <Not set>
MMS port: <Not set>
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0 (Because you can't unset this)
MCC: 234
MNC: 10
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: default
Name: O2 MMS (or anything you want)
APN: wap.o2.co.uk
Proxy: 193.113.200.195
Port: 8080
Username: o2wap
Password: password
Server: <not set>
MMSC: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
MMS proxy: 193.113.200.195
MMS port: 8080
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 234
MNC: 10
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: mms
And that's all you need to do. It'll use the first connection for regular Internet and will automatically use the second one with the MMS details when needed. I tried to combine them into a single APN, but wasn't ever able to get a fully working solution so I just gave up as the two APN method above works.
Unfortunately O2 send "small" photo messages if they don't recognise the useragent of your phone and I think they're still doing that, but I haven't done much testing with this. Sadly if that is the case there isn't anything you can do except hack your MMS UserAgent (I don't yet know how to do this) or wait for O2 to hopefully add it to their system.
Thanks for those, I did manage to get it working in the end last night.
The problem was that although my phone was connected to my wireless network, it was unable to access the internet (any one got any ideas why?). Cos the wifi was connected the phone wasnt even trying to use the mobile internet settings.
Once I turned off wifi, the mobile internet worked fine.
Now my problem is why my router wasn't letting the phone connect to the internet but allowed it to connect to wifi?
After a restart of the router it all worked fine for a little while (maybe half an hour) then it stopped working again...

The firewall in your router ?
My Desire Z prompted me when I put the SIM in what settings to use.
It didn't have the O2 Mobile Web APN though, just the MMS one. Internet (HSDPA / 3G) was working out of the box. Have added it now and it seems my internet is quicker / more reliably*
Regards
Craig
*As quick and as reliable as O2's 3G data network can be.. Voice n text is always fine.

I've disabled the firewall and still nothing, the phone connects to the wireless but can't see the internet at all.
I'm completely at a loss as to what the problem might be, I'm guessing it's something to do with the router but have no idea what or how to solve it.
MAC filtering on the router?
just got my htc desire z in today its the unlocked that will work on atnt 3g - im getting phone calls and texts but can't use any internet at all its just saying connection failed phone is brand new..im just wondering if i missed something ....i did call atnt and changed my blackberry data to the data plan it needed and still nothing

Did you get the NAM (Bell Canada) version of the Desire Z? That's what I have, and I got data working by doing the above.
Hello, I recently signed up with Straight Talk via AT&T and am not able to get my Data services to connect or send/receive any MMS. I have configured my APN settings multiple times now and actually just got off the phone with straight talk about this issue as well. They were no help.
I am using Straight Talks at&t network and my phone reads this under settings>about phone>status...
Mobile Network Type: HSPA:10
Service State: In service (I have 4 bars)
Mobile Network state: Disconnected
Also when I go to the *#*#4636#*#* menu, It says this...
GPRS service: Disconnected
GSM disconnects: ========DATA=======
How can I fix this and get data and mms to work??
If you find anything out, please tell us! I'm starting to think its something that is wrong with the phone...
interesting... I just joined straight talk today using ATT micro sim and i have the same issue... I also have full bars.

On the AT&T on ST,
I didn't set the first Port you have listed after APN, I left it as "not set" instead of 80.
To the OP can you list what you set your APN to? Did you look at the Straight Talk thread in general area?
Also it might sound weird but check under Settings > Mobile Network Settings > Data enabled.
For some reason it wouldn't be checked for me when I was flashing a ROM or going back to stock ROM.
These are my settings:

Why would the block something they sell and offer service through.
Its also noted on their site, that MMS may not work on some devices
"Updating your APN settings does not guarantee MMS (Multimedia/Picture Messaging) will work." Quoted from StraightTalk.com
I just got off the phone with Straight Talk and I bought a new AT&T micro sim card from Walmart. I asked if they are still supporting it, and they said absolutely, they will continue to. Just FYI

I had the same thing happen to me today and I am on ATT sim. I sent straight talk an email and they sent back a response asking me to call
855-222-2355. The agent had me make sure my data was on then I turned off the phone for 1 minute why she did something on her side. After that it started working again. I asked her what she did so the next time this happens I could just say this has happened before and this is how they fixed it. The agent stated to just call the number above and state that your data is not working and they will resolve the issue. No help, but that is what happened to me.

Same problem. Straight Talk has been working for months, and all of a sudden yesterday no data. I am lucky if I use data a handful of times a month, so I know I am not over any limits. I am glad I printed out Google maps before I left on my trip as a backup, because it was a 120 mile trek. I went to an AT&T store while on the road out of desperation and a person was kind enough to look at the phone and believes the hardware is OK and it is a Straight Talk issue. I am assuming the "Mobile Network State = Disconnected" I am getting is not a good thing. I will give them a call today.
EDIT: Just got off the phone with Straight Talk. They gave me new APN settings, and this is the first time since I have had Straight Talk (4 months) that I am able to get data at my house (It worked while on the road). It is also the first time I ever saw the little capital "H" near the signal icon, whatever that is. I am in quite a dead zone and previously could only use wifi. Yippee! I also see that "Mobile Network State = Disconnected" had nothing to do with getting data as it works now and it is still listed as Disconnected.
EDIT: These are the new settings that Straight Talk gave me:

APN: att.mvno

Those original settings weren't for StraightTalk but for AT&T. Two totally different services.

FYI the phone won't connect to mobile data until you are using it, its to save the battery. That's why it shows as disconnected in mobile network state. To verify this turn off wifi, if your connect to it, open a browser using your mobile data then check phone status.

Thanks for spotting that. Those are not the original settings I put into the phone; I thought they didn't look right. Apparently yesterday, instead of creating a new APN set, the guy in the AT&T store overwrote my Straight Talk settings while testing out my phone (Not too bright). It really doesn't matter, as neither settings worked properly anyway. I am only getting 1 Mpbs download and 0.10 Mpbs upload at my house now (better than the zero I was getting before), but I am going to have to take a drive later to see what improvement I get.

I see.
EDIT: The highest data speed I am getting is 1.09 Mbps no matter where I go, even running SpeedTest while staring at a several cell towers (Where the signal strength gets better). I gather that is bad from the numbers I see elsewhere?
Here is what worked for me:
1. Call ATT and tell them you need to activate a new tablet device. (If they tell you the N4 is a phone and that you need to setup a phone plan tell them no thank you, hang up and try again). Give them your IMEI and let them active the device. They will activate the device and ask you to reboot. Once you reboot you should get a signal but network access. Tell ATT its working, thank them and hang up.
2. Setup a new APN with the following settings:
Name: AT&T broadband
APN: Broadband
Proxy: leave blank
Port: leave blank
Username: leave blank]
Password: leave blank)
Server: leave blank
MMSC: leave blank
MMS Proxy: leave blank

Reboot your device and you should be good to go!
Hope this helps!
seems legit, but unfortunately there is already a thread describing all of this that is around 10 pages long.
Wrong forum.
