Anyone else have a G1 with no internet connection?
I got mine the morning of the 22nd, and since then I've not been able to access the internet by either means of Edge or 3G. I also live in a very good 3G coverage area. Anyone else having this issue?
I called T-mobile, they escalated it up to engineering and told me they are working on it. Was told I'd more than likely get called back today, and i didn't... Seems everyone I know has no issues with the net and their new G1's.. Anyone here having this problem?
I'm liking the phone OK, but for the 349.99 and 30 bucks tax (I wasn't eligible for the upgrade)and 4 hours in line... I'd like the internet to work out of the box. .
Half tempted to get the Touch Pro, since it appears to be at a local best buy...
I had a HTC diamond touch with WM6.1 same processor pretty much a kickass phone and I can tell a big different when it comes to internet speed.I don't live in a 3G area but the G1 browser is faster than Mobile Internet Explorer and Opera.Mine started working out of the box.
If I were you I would go to your Tmo store and ask and think about the other phone....it's gonna be more expensive too.
See ya.
I did for the 22nd
the chick put the g1 data plan on the wrong line, so I got no joy till I called and had it fixed then waited 8hours for the setting to change...
but now all is well

Does anyone else's EDGE randomly go off and on? And not the no-service so no-edge thing, i mean i'll be in the same position and it will randomly disappear and reappear...other times it just doesn't connect.
another thing PLEASE HELP WITH...
i have cincinnati bell and they recently rolled out Dual-band WCDMA 1700/2100 network.
is this NOT the same as t-mobiles? i partially bought this phone because it would work with cinci bell because they were both on the 1700/2100 band, but apparently not because i can't get 3g signal...well i've seen it flash 3g before for like 1 second but then it goes away.
any suggestions? i also have mms troubles but thats another thing i'll worry about after fixing my current problems.
I'd guess you need to change the APN settings. Google "g1 att apn" and you should get plenty of instructions for AT&T. Just modify them to work with Cincinnati Bell. And yes, Cincinnati Bell is using the same 1700/2100 AWS-1 T-mo is using.
i have the correct APN - internet DOES work and has worked on all other devices using my current APN configuration.
Hm. Beats me then. Are EDGE and 3G rock solid right now with your other devices?
i hope thats it...EDGE works...most of the time. i haven't gotten G yet. i have no other device to test 3g on...except my brother's super un-smartphone nokia 3555 which displays "3g" at the top almost always...that's the only other 1700/2100 mhz phone that i know of.
hopefully this gets fixed in an update? also, should i delete all other APN's from the list besides my CBW one? and should i have a separate APN for mms and data (cause under the tmobile ones the apn type on the data is set to default and apn type under mms is mms...i copied this format...no luck either...mms still doesn't work).
EDGE and GSM is Smoothest across all HTC i have used.
and GPS is the fastest in all HTC Device may be becuase of Dedicated Antena on Body below Battery cover
I just received mine yesterday and have been using internet all day. the only problem i had was at 2am (gmt) i was dropped down to 2g. But that was a t-mobile problem, my PC broadband was dropped down to 2g also.
Both were back on 3g when i got up.
In you case it may be the phone, id phone up your operator. If your network isnt experiencing any problems then you should send your phone back.
I have a g2 and while iam at work, i would lose the hspa signal while iam tethering there. My signal would work fine but once i tether it would lose it signals and get no bars hence i got to restart my phone. But while using 2g only i can stay tethering and never get disconnected. Do you guys think the problem is my phone a defect? or is it because maybe t-mobile gots the new update coming out and it would disconnect you since we didnt pay the 15 fee or whatever. I didnt get the new OTA update yet for the official tether. I am rooted and use diff tether apps including pda net.
I was wondering if anyone have the same problem or is it due to the fact that the update will solve this problem. OR do i need a new replacement?
no help , or is it my hspa 4g network is bad around my area
Hello I am trying to use my activated (works in my ipad) SIM from my ipad in my atrix, I set up the apn to be Broadband and the rest the default.
The atrix doesnt even show 3G a d obviously is not connecting, I am in the Orlando area.
Anybody has gotten it to work?
Thanks

Hello, thank you in advance for whatever help you can give me. I purchased the AT&T galaxy s4 and I am trying to use it in Colombia with my provider Tigo which runs on 1900mhz but I have problems connecting to the internet.
This is my second galaxy s4, the first one I had I opened the AWS bands, selected WCDMA/GSM Mode Only on the service menu and my internet was working just fine. Unfortunately I lost my first phone and bought another one, and went through the same procedures but my mobile data is not working for the most part while it is connected to HSPAP.
If I select GSM only on the srvice menu then it navigates, but at 2G speeds. What seems strange is that I am getting great signal and when I go to about device/status, it shows it is connected to hspap, and gprs, but I dont have an internet connection except at a couple of places, for some reason when I am in my house it works (wifi off), but when I leave my house it doesnt work.
If you have had a similar problem an were able to figure it out I will appreciate any thoughts you may have. It is frustrating having this phone and not being able to use the internet.
Thank you.
All -
I recently purchased a used RAZR M for my wife. She enjoyed borrowing my work phone, so I figured she'd like this. Except I can't get the damn thing to switch to an LTE band. I've swapped sim cards and thrown mine in, same thing. No 4G. I've compared it to my work phone and the settings *look* to be correct. In the same room, my work phone gets LTE, so I know it's not a signal strength issue where I am.
I don't know the history of the phone itself. Would this be the result of it being switched to GSM use? Is this a radio problem? Is this a firmware problem? Is this a PEBKAC issue?
Keep in mind, this is on stock. I'm not too keen on being stuck on stock, I don't have a lot of choices with it being locked and on KitKat right now.
I'd appreciate any help/insight that y'all can offer.
Still looking for some insight. For what it's worth, the phone is being used on VZW now, it just can't / won't get LTE.
Check with your provider that you are using the correct APN for LTE. I know my provider has a specific APN for LTE and another that will only connect using 3G. It took multiple calls to their broadband tech support before someone pointed me to the correct APN config.
