Am using the N1 on ATT, previously used different WM devices including the TP2 and I did not need to authenticate the handset via a web logon (e.g. @ Starbucks) before using the wifi to access the web. On the N1, I would need to authenticate using a web logon (user ID, PW, and type of wifi service).
Is there any app that would authenticate an Android devices running on the ATT network? I looked through the dump from the Backflip and all I could find was an app to locate ATT's hotspots.
It is my understanding that the authentication is two parts, first the IMEI of the device has to match at&t's inventory and second the IMEI of the SIM has to be attached to a valid DATA plan that included WiFi Hotspots.

Thanks, that's what I am afraid off since the N1 IMEI may not be available to AT&T...

I have t-mobile service and just bought a pocket pc phone that was supposed to be t-mobile but was an [email protected] ppcphone. The phone is unlocked and I put my SIM card in and the phone works fine. My question, is there a way to get online to the t-mobile unlimited service with this [email protected] phone or do I have to get another phone from t-mobile. I've tried entering t-mobiles access point info but it doesn't work. Can anyone help on this.

hi
i have the same problem, my htc was and o2 xda, had it unlock ed and my tmobile wap settings wont work.
Yes, it should work with no problems... Key information points:
Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)
Access point name: internet2.voicestream.com
Username, Password and Domain are blank
Also, under proxy settings:
Check "This network connects to the Internet"
Clear "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet"
Clear "Proxy Server:"
Note that these settings have only been tested by me in the US.

still having problems
it just keeps taking me back to the user name and password page. what should I do?

Do you have the Internet access from T-Mobile? This is a different access type from what you would have had with a regular phone. I believe it is reffered to as T-Mobile Unlimited access (Shows up on my bill as T-Mobile Unlmtd)
If you don't have this plan on your account it will prompt you for username and password. That is the only situation that I know of which will generate the problem you are reporting.
Robert H.
true! i had the same problem with tmobile at first.
it turned out they signed me up for Tzones and not the unlimited internet.
it works fine now , with those settings in the post above.
it dont matter what ppc you have... i rewrote my ppc with many systems, tmobile, att, o2, asian... then back to tmobile.
money
how much is this unlimited service and is it avalible in the uk?
I live in the UK (London) and am G1 user (root/JF ADP1.5). I will be visiting India in the near future and would like to be online via the G1. From browsing the web it seems this is possible, other users have managed to do this.
I just wanted to get a clear picture of what is involved in getting the G1 data connection enabled in India?
Here’s what I expect, please correct me if I am wrong and please do add anything that you may think would be of interest in knowing…?
Purchase SIM card. Either Airtel or Vodaphone preferably the one is cheapest and/or provides faster data connection (ie 3g or not).
Phone is unlocked to accept any sim card so no problems there.
Enter some settings in the phone to enable data connection. It’s here where I’m unsure what to do or if the network provider will be able to provide the relevant details I would require?
Once I set this up will the G1 run as normal or will there be any limitations? Will google maps pick up my current location and how accurate will it be in India? Will I receive push Email?
Any other advice/comments about using the G1 on an Indian sim would be greatly appreciated.

As long as you have your data set up, EDGE/GPRS, maps will work just fine, so will your push email. GPS will work too, its pretty accurate, you'll just find tile download times excruciating especially if you are used to 3G. When in India i use Vodafone btw.
Everything work as expected, the interner comnection is EDGE based so the speed is slow, you can get the setting from the provider or else from the internet, generally provider settings are sent to phone through OTA and received as system setting message on other Nokia phone this feature is yet to be implmented on Android. The Airtel setting is Apn airtelgprs.com , once you create a new Apn settingyou just have to enter this apn and other default network and area code will bepicked from simcard
Nothing change the technology and network are same and if you are going to be in Delhi use MTNL as provider and use there 3G network to access Internet
yeah i used it for about 2 months there, no problems whatsoever..(except that I managed to get the screen cracked while playing cricket!) i am not sure about market/OTA working there...but you can use the gprs connection to use all the online frills that G1 has..
I live in Maharashtra, India & have Android Developer Phone 1
Here There Is no 3G only GPRS/EDGE
If U are going to visit Maharashtra or say Mumbai city,
I would prefer u to use Airtel Sim Bcoz Vodaphone Sim Costs 10paise/10kb means nearly 10 Rupees for 1 MB & in $, $1 for 5MB
While Airtel Allows 2 Data plans:
1. Daily Unlimited Plan:
Use Unlimited Data For Rs 20 - 25 per day
I would prefer U this Plan As My G1 at least Uses 30 MB of Data per Day According to Nercounter app
Ask the Airtel Gallery/ Customer Care For Activation...
2. Mobile Office Plan (30 paise / 50 kb):
This Plan charges according to your data Usage, 30 p / 50 kb means Rs. 6-7 per Mb
If U choose This activation process would not be given by customer care, so here is the process:
Dial *567#
Reply "1" Mobile Office Activation
Again Enter "1" Activate Mobile Office
It will be activated within 1 hour
now The Apn Setting:
Apn Name : put any thing, I put Airtel
Apn : airtelgprs.com
Then Save It, U have Activated GPRS/EDGE
Everything works fine, except:
1. OTA.
and 2. Paid Market Apps (at least on my phone! G1 with Jf1.5)
that too can be done !!!
1. OTA is enabled For Both ADP1 & G1 that too in all the Countries...
2. Paid Applications: Its Sim Dependent, So is Not enabled on ADP1,
sol : If u Have an Proper US Billing Address U can get past through it even on ADP1... Just Get MarketEnabler App on Jf 1.5
I can view Paid Apps but cant buy coz i lack US Billing Address...

Hi Team,
I got the Android from US, it is unlocked for all networks.
Now, in India I am trying to use it on Vodafone network in Delhi, but the phone does not starts, as after entering the username and password for Gmail, the phone is not able to connect to the Google Servers and so I am not able to start and use my phone here.

It seems that you have reset your phone, and thats why you got the activation screen.
and now with the Vodafone SIM, you have to setup your phone with their APN. On the activation screen, you have the option to manually set your APN settings by pressing the Menu button.

guys even im having the same problem . im stuck at login screen the phone fails to contact google servers . cud som1 plz gimme the exact apn settings plz .
Even i had the same problem ...was stuck at login screen
I m with vodafone so activated its vodafone mobile connect service.
vodfone says its gprs/edge service cannot access https websites..
as google login requires https protocol all those who are with gprs/edge wont be able to go ahead.
you need to call your service provider and tell them " i need data plan that allows me to access all www sites"
i have tried almost on all service providers and this is the language they understand..
it takes few hrs for activation for vodafone mobile connect.
after activtion enter APN: www
leave all fields blank.
BANG! you are now in if you don need the service deactivate it!

Has anyone using an unlocked Vibrant on AT&T successfully been able to access AT&T Hotspots? My brother has been unable to. What is necessary to auto authenticate access like what iPhones and Blackberries do? Is it based on IMEI or sim card or phone number?
ATT hotspots are designed for ATT's residential and business internet customers. When using your phone, you will need to authenticate like you would with any other phone/laptop. Using the vibrant is no different.
My point is the phone shouldn't matter once you have access rights (password)

Thanks for the reply. What I was referring more towards was the auto authentication used by iPhones/Blackberries. How is this being accomplished?
Hey All I did a search on the forums for this but didn't see an answer so wanted to put this question out there.
My work allowed me to upgrade my work phone from the standard BB to a Samsung Vibrant. When I got the phone and put my T-Mobile SIM in, the phone worked but internet would not. I called support and found out that this was because my plan through work was for BB internet not Android. The same SIM chip works fine in a Nexus One that I have. I get internet access and everything.
So I thought that maybe if I get my Vibrant unlocked then I would be able to bypass that BB Internet plan requirement. Through my work we got the unlock code from T-Mobile. The unlocked, rooted Vibrant running CM 7 still won't connect to the internet.
is there anyway I can get internet connectivity on the Vibrant, other than asking T-Mobile to change the plan?
Thank you in Advance.
You can try changing the APN under Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Access Point Names
although, I don't know what APN your plan uses.. you can research and find what APN your plan uses and it SHOULD work if you enter the right one...
But don't take my word for this. I can be wrong!
Btw, in the APN menu, is there anything there already?
Make sure u save the apn when done. Dont just exit out

I put a T-mobile sim card on my VZW Note 3 and added an APN to for the mobile network, the 4G LTE flag shows up in the status bar as expected. The only problem is: when it uses data network instead of WIFI, all non-http network connections seem to get blocked and the only thing I can do is to use the browser to surf Internet. All other apps such as WeChat, Skype don't work at all. WeChat keeps reporting "Server access failure (1, -10087)".
I suspect there's a firewall built in the T-mobile data network but couldn't find any settings about it.
Does any expert here know to solve the problem?
Thanks!

Did you ever get it to work? I'm experiencing the same issue with my note 3 from VZW.
Server Access Error (-1,10087) with WeChat \ HTC One M8 \ T-Mobile
I have been getting the same error ever since Android was updated from 4.3 to 4.4.*.
I have WeChat on a HTC One M8 on T-Mobile. Works fine on WiFi, but not on direct connect to T-Mobile's LTE network. T-Mobile doesn't have any ideas what could be causing this except to say it is either WeChat, Android, or HTC.
T-Mobile did give me a brand new HTC One M8 thinking a new phone may help, but I still run into the same issues.
I have full use of Internet, email and messaging, but WeChat will not connect via the T-Mobile network. It appears WeChat may be getting blocked by T-Mobile when accessing via the HTC One M8 as there are a few things occurring:
1. Continually receiving an error: Server Access Error (-1,10087). Only occurs when there is no WiF and trying to connect through T-Mobile’s data network.
2. Cannot request a TEXT to be sent to me under the Password Recovery feature. It says a text is being sent but none come through.
3. The same with the request a phone call Password Recover feature. It says to expect a call but none come.
4. When sending a data report, it will get to 95% uploaded and then freeze and never finishes.
Any thoughts on how to correct this?

Did you check to see if you have a proxy in your apn settings? That would cause a such a condition if you have a proxy in your tmobile apn settings.

Same thing for me on Tmobile M8 using We Chat. If I go into the settings and turn off and on Mobile Data, it will work for a few minutes and then revert back to the server error.
I definitely believe it has to deal with something on Tmobile's network but their support doesn't have an answer. Someone please help!
finally figured it out
This has been bothering me since I flashed the viperone rom for my M8. The solution is simple, go to your APN setting edit access point, change APN protocol from IPV6 into IPV4/IPV6!
