G1 + Cyanogen 4.2.8 + att = not working

Hi folks,
I bought a Cingular GoPhone cellphone and i want to use the line on my G1. The problem is that the G1 doesn't register the sim card on att's network. The crappy phone works fine though.
When going to "Wireless Controls > Mobile Networks > Network operators > Search networks" i am getting att's network listed, so i guess the phone is able to scan for networks. Since my sim card is an att's, the phone should be able to register the sim card to At&t network, but i'm getting "Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network" error. Same error when trying the "Select Automatically" option.
I've been google'ing but could't find a solution, even though there is a lot of threads going back and forth.
Here is my configuration info:
Phone: T-Mobile G1 ( Dream PVT 32B DREA10000), Unlocked, Rooted.
Sim Card: AT&T (Cingular), 1 week old.
Firmware: CyanogenMod 4.2.8
Build Number: DRC83
Radio: 2.22.18.26I
HBoot: 1.33.2005
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Have you already forgotten that G1 is locked to Tmo?
You need the unlock code for it to be used on other carriers.
Plus G1 will only beable to use 2G on att.
Cyan has a new version out now.

The phone is unlocked. I have been using it with south american carriers without any problems.
I don't need 3g right now. ( gophone line )

Wiped, flashed with ( http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Latest_version#Defanged_DRC83 ), and then flashed newest Cyanogen ( 4.2.11.1 ).
Still no luck.
Getting the same exact error while registering the sim card.
Thanks

Same error while trying to select the provider: "Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network".
I manually added att's apn settings, but after i saved it, it doesn't get listed at all, it dissapears.
Any clue on what can be wrong here?
Thanks

i have an unlocked g1 with att and i had no network problems with cyanogens roms.

Try checking the "2G only" box in data settings. It might be tring to sign into AT&T's 3G voice network, which IIRC, is not a supported feature on GoPhone accounts.

After creating the att apn, the apn doesn't get listed on the apn list and it's not available. I did save it, but the list appears empty.
This is the att's apn settings i found online:

I tried, didn't work, probably because i couldn't add the apn.

Do you know what spectrum or frequencies your phone runs at? Sometimes they don't include the international spectrum's (or american)if the phone is imported. Nokia has a few phones that needed a North American version they usually have the NAM title next to there name to show they support the American spectrums.

I don't know. I bought the phone in the US, though. Guess it should work.
I remember playing around with SPL and radio images while trying a custom rom with rosie UI, but it looks that the versions posted in the first message should work just fine.

i had att for while and it worked as soon as i unlocked my phone went to tmo because i needed 3g but still use att sim every now and then with no problems and i think ive used every rom on xda and alldroid

Yeah but he's saying his phone is from South America. I'm sure yours wasn't

The phone is from the US. I bought it on ebay, shipped and used in south america.
I just came up with something that actually match all the sympthoms.
Maybe this is happening because the phone IMEI be banned from att's network.
Is there any way i can find out if the phone is reported as stolen or something like that ?

Unlocked Legend no service

I picked up a Legend from Virgin Mobile to use with Fido. Had it unlocked through mobileincanada.com
I played around with the network settings and can't get it to pick up a network. I get a message that says "error while searching for networks", and when i click select network automatically it says "your sim card does not allow connections to this network"
When i put my sim card back into my old phone everything is fine.
Any ideas????

I have exactly the same problem, and it happens more often when roaming.
Solutions are: rebooting the phone or manually selecting the network
PS: I've seen this happening on my father's desire too

I've tried both solutions but it still doesn't work. I need to get this phone going, not sure if i can return it since i have unlocked it.
Could it be that my sim card is the problem. I currently have an Nokia e71 with a data plan that it works with......

I know you can take an unlocked phone and put it in virgin, it has the instructions for how to do it on the virgin website.
Maybe call up fido and ask what you need to do to hook your unlocked phone onto their network.
This is what you need to put an unlocked phone on to virgin so I assume you'll need these 3 things from fido.

thanks for the help it worked!!!
Man i just thought i had bad luck. Weird thing is that i had tried a bunch of different settings and would reboot. Didn't work, i seriously must have tried 20 diff settings and combinations. What worked was one that im sure i must have tried 5 times already. After a reboot it just worked
this is what i used

*SOLVED*Defect Tab??? Won't connect to Bell's 3G network

Is there any special things to do to have the tab connected to Bell's 3G network when you want to use self service data plan? My SIM card was activated, they gave me my tab's phone # and ''all'' I need to do is to access the self service thing using the tab... the thing is when trying to access the self service I received an error message saying that I must be connected to the 3G network in order to have access to the self service.
I've spent 1h45min on the phone last night with Bell to try to have the Tab connect to the 3G network with no success Even worst, the guy made me do a factory reset otherwise he would not continue troubleshooting the tab... so now I'm back to square 1 and still no 3G network.
Bell's CSR told me to go to a Bell's store to try another SIM card to see if it works and if not to return to tab because it's defective The thing is I went to 2 different Bell's store and they don't know sh*t about the SGT.

Turn off WiFi, it only works if you're connected to the HSPA network.
With WiFi off, are you able to connect to teh internets at all, or are you just having a problem using the Self Serve application?

We did try turning the wifi off, no internet connection and no self service thing. All I get is an error message saying that I must be connected to the internet to access the web lol...I know that...that's what we are trying to do.
Bell's tech said that when the SIM card is insert I should see a 3G icon somewhere on the top right side of the screen near the battery and network bar graph thing but I don't see such icon.
He also said that his system see my SIM card on the network but there's just no data going back/forth from the network and my tab.

Did you set your APN for Bell?
I bet you didnt!

It might sound dumb but I really don't know how to do this more over I hope that it's something that I we've look with the Bell's tech???
**edit** looking under ''edit access point'' all field seem ok except for user name, password and server which all show as ''not set''

check to back sure it is the same, then reboot tab and test.

rmanaudio : My APN was already setup the same way as in your reply. I did add a new one again using the same values, rebooted and still nothing.

Try creating a second APN in that menu, call it anything you want.. just ensure it has a Name and an APN value inside (the rest can be blank).
Then move the radio button selector to the new APN you created.
Wait 30 seconds, then move the radio selector back to the Bell APN.
If your Bell account is properly set up to allow a data connection, you should see 3G appear at the top.
If not, call Bell back, ensure data is enabled on your account.

Problem solved!!
Well, case closed, everything's working perfectly now The lady who did the activation of my SIM card in the 1st place forgot to check the ''tablet'' option for the SIM card
Just sad that I've lost so much time on the phone with Bell's tech support and nobody ever look there.
Now I need to download/reinstall everything I had

IMEI Number

I live in a very small town in West Virginia and the closest AT&T store is an hour away. I was wordering if anyone could give me an IMEI number that would help me get my new note up and running on the at&t network. It would save 2 hrs of driving.
Thanks
Kevin

IMEI number is the unique ID of your phone. Each phone has its own. Your IMEI is printed on the box and inside the phone behind battery. You don't need other ppl's IMEI because it is counter productive and doesn't help you get the phone activated. What you need is an AT&T SIM card, like the one you already have on your existing AT&T phone. Simply pull that SIM card out and put into your Note and you're done. You don't need to activate anything if you already have an active account with AT&T. When you first connect your phone to AT&T, they will know your phone's IMEI right away.

foxbat is correct if you already have an activated ATT SIM card. What you may need to set up is the APN to get the GNote up and running. If you do there are several thread on the APN's, or just ask for help.
This is the APN I am using: EDIT: This is for a 4G LTE SIM card that I also use in my Skyrocket. the 3G APN Is different as foxbat points out.

Please note that Phone APN may not work for everyone. If you already have an AT&T 4G phone, Phone APN will work for you. If you only have a 3G phone, your data plan is not upgraded to 4G plan. And Phone APN won't work for you.
The best APN to use is the old 3G APN called WAP.Cingular. It won't affect your 4G speed, at least not yet, and don't require upgrade your data plan to 4G plan (which is just a phone call away).

good call! I edited my post to include your info. Thanks.

Ok, I'm a little confused. I read the following link on how to get my unlocked note fully functional on AT&T and it stated to go to the AT&T store and get an IMEI number.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437805
So I don't need to do that, I need to activate my sim card and then set up the APN once the account is activated?
Thanks

wap.cingular should max out at 7.2mbps, phone should max at 21mbps

Yes, I'm a little confused on this as well. I just posted a question in that thread, so hopefully, someone can clear things up for us. I have an iphone with at&t, so can I just put my sim card in the note with an adapter, and I should be good to go? I want to make sure I don't lose my grandfathered unlimited data.

You will be very lucky to get HSPA+ anywhere near 7.2mbps. On top of that there are plenty of ppl using wap.cingular reaching 9mbps speed in certain areas.

[HELP] Got AT&T sim into International S3, calling works but data doesn't work

I got an international S3 from India and went to AT&T store to get a micro sim.
Got that installed and then the phone calling works fine but data (internet) doesn't work.
They said they would have to register my phone's IMEI but it still doesn't work. They put in a new APN, and still same. They called their tech and they couldn't help. Their last suggestion was to try calling Samsung, but I had to leave to get to work.
I believe there are already people using International version with AT&T for the S3. So any ideas what could be wrong?
Thanks!

Try factory resetting your phone. Other than that, make sure you have the $10/month data plan (unlimited messaging required) or the $15/month data (no messaging required). To do that you'll have to call into customer care and say you have an unlocked non-smartphone. If you go into the store to do this they'll give you the more expensive internet because they'll see you have a smartphone. If you're changing data plans it CAN take 24-48 hours for it to be effective, although it usually doesn't take that long. After that's done go into Settings, More Settings (under Wireless and Network settings), Mobile Networks, and then Access Point Names. Make sure there is an Access Point Name titled "Cingular 410". If there isn't then press Menu, and then "+ New APN". The settings should look like this:
Name: Cingular 410
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
User name: [email protected]
My Password field is auto-filled, so I don't have that. Try leaving it blank, but if that doesn't work call customer care and get that information.

This should fix it. The only thing I'm unclear on is the Password part.

Well now my SIM is completely unregistered, can't even make calls. Operator asked me to go to the store and get a new SIM Card.
So, this won't work without the switch to the non-smartphone data plan? It is going to be hard to pull off when I am in the store.

It should work just fine on the smartphone data plan, and you should be able to switch to the non smartphone data plan afterwards.

Ok, thanks. What should I tell the AT&T store people today when I go in the evening?
It feels like they did something on the account to screw it up. Would it help to suggest that they get this working on an AT&T HTC OneX and then transfer the SIM to my phone?

It could be that you have a defective SIM card. Take it one step at a time. Replace the SIM card. Make sure you have functionality with other services (such as voice and messaging). Check all the APN settings to make sure those are correct. Make sure you have a data plan for AT&T.

I'm on another carrier but I had the same problem at first, only phone call and sms working. I had to change my APN for the Data to work.

What are the APN settings you input, did you save and select it afterwards?
EDIT: Check the settings in the screenshots on the first posts of this thread, yours should match.

Thanks, I went back to the store. We got my original S2 working and this time switched to micro sim without making any IMEI/etc changes and it worked.
Anyone know what extra steps need to be taken to get the voicemail working?
