Hi everyone, first of all, i apologise for my bad english.
Yesterday i finnally got my N4. It is the first time I have an android device, plus i am having issues with it, it is all more difficult. Here is the thing:
When you start your device at first, you are supposed to follow some first steps, i skipped the part of the sim (I still need to cut it), i entered my wifi, and when it Comes to enter your Google account, it gives me an error that pretty scares me: it says something like "a reliable connection to the server cannot be established, it is possible that this is about a temporal error or that the android device isnt prepared to data services, If the problem persists, call the customer service"
After that, my device doesnt sync for gmail, chrome, everything else, i cannot acces play store due to an error it gives me, i also cannot surf the net, use any application that requires internet (all of them :S?)
Ive tried everything I think its in my hand before posting. Rebooting, logging out reboot and logging in again, erasing all (the big default reset), etc, and it doesnt get solved ;(
I would appreciate a lot if you could point me in the right direction, but i think the device is broken somehow, and i"ll have to send it to be repaired :S
Thank you in advance.
are you sure it is connected to your wifi? check in the settings/about phone/status to see if you have an IP address

Ive rechecked the thing about the wifi, 54Mbps, it gives me an ip adress, when im not connected to any account it doesnt appear the top left warning synbol, now it appears some downloading symbol (dont know for what)
I think it is a problem with your router or ip setup.
Try this:
Set wireless connection ip-s with static and same as you get automatically from router. And DNS server put 8.8.8.8

Your best bet is to do a factory reset and don't skip any configuration needed to complete setting up this nice phone
Good luck and don't worry we are here to help you

I have already tried that too, the only part I skippped is the microsim one, i only have a sim on my old phone, i dont dare to cut it if then it doesnt work on is device and ill have to wait until i receive the microsim to sim adaptor.
As it follows, i enter my wifi data, that doesnt give me any error, and after that, the gmail account (which is the same I used to buy the device). After 2min or so, it gives me the error comented on #1 :s
I dunno if it does matter, but i mean factory restore as the option inside settings > security copy > restore factory data
Thank you.

Thank you for that explanation, but i am afraid it doesnt solve the problem. By using the 8.8.8.8 (static connection) dns, chrome gives me the error that there is no connection to wifi, if i use the same dns i have on my ipad, it says, connection acceptable, but it takes years to load a page (in case it does)
Thank you all for your effort, i rly appreciate that.
Can you :
- configure the same network configuration that you have on your tablet, on your phone (IP,netmask,DNS, network,gateway)
- disable networking on your tablet
- try again.
If it fails, you should think about sending it back.

You can also flash back the factory images but since you are still under warranty and don't really used to this kind of technical stuff, i won't advise you to do so.
Just keep in mind that sadly, the device is very popular and that Google will have new phones available only in about 3 weeks.
Could it possibly be locked to a certain network ?
Or have you bought it from the Play Store ?

He is having WiFi issues.
Someone from another forum of my country told me he had the same problem due to the internet provider company, he has told me to update my modem/router, at least, that is what fixed his problem,

Summary of settings for the "Universal" to work with 3 network Australia
There are 2 primary connections you need to set up.
One is for accessing Planet3 or 3 content, which is basically intranet site made by Three...in here you can only view Three content, its not full internet where you can surf anywhere on the web you want.
The second connection you need to make is for browsing the full internet just like you would on your computer.
After you have created the connections outlined below you will have to manually select or switch between them depending on what you want to do ie: surf the internet or view 3 content.
To get Planet3 (3content) working you have to set up the following connection:
1) Go to Settings - Connections - then click the Connections icon
2) Under "My ISP" click on 'Add a new modem connection
3) Enter the name for the connection: 3services

If your using Opera as your Browser then you can get access to most places without having to do anything else.
If your using pocket internet explorer (PIE) then its best to make changes to your registry. I personally have found that PIE seems to run faster than Opera, my Universal in general runs better without it installed, and the big bonus is that it intergrates better with Planet3. Whats even better is PIE PLUS its proving to be a very good broswer option.
At this stage Video streaming has not been worked out yet, this is for viewing Mobile TV, Big Brother, World Cup soccer etc....
There has been lots of testing done with various streaming players and the latest testing has been on the WM6 roms with their inbuilt players, however still not fully working as of yet.
Three has recently released the Depod 838Pro which is using WM5
http://www.three.com.au/PhoneDetailAction.do?mid=27&mname=Dopod 838Pro
I think our solution might be in there !!!
Credit for this guide goes to everyone who discovered all this. I have mearly colated it all into one.
The Depod runs on Microsft Windows Mobile 5.0, that means that if we do get the software off it we still wont be able to install it on the Universal ?
lalalalallalalalla
I have found that WM6 which has a built in streaming player works with some of the MobileTV channels offered by 3. Channels such as CNN and a few others work ..... finally.
Very nice. Thanks. Now...how do I get a 3 sim card for my Universal. They dont sell SIM cards...last time I checked.
Nice summary! That useragent string was EXACTLY what I was looking for!
Now I've got everything working but MMS and Video streaming... (I tried Ivan's roms a while back - but they didn't seem to work for me - it might have been the earlier beta releases...)

Just get any phone from 3 and put its sim card into your Universal. That's what I did. Now I'm using my Universal with a 3 sim card, and I have a spare phone with no simcard.
What ROM and Radio versions are you guys using with your Uni's on 3?

They do sell SIM Cards - just ask for a USIM only sale (trust me, I work for a 3 Dealership....)
3's knowledge base is down
I bought my USIM back in August last year. I got the $29 cap on no contract, cancel anytime, without a phone. No problems at all. Used it in a Sony M600i, Nokia N73, LG something, Treo 750 and an HTC Universal without any trouble.
Just go in and say you have a phone, and would like to get a USIM pack on the $29 cap (or whatever you want). They will transfer your number or whatever you like. Was very easy.
My Treo 750 and HTC Universal work great with X-Series too!!

FINALLY I'VE DONE IT !!
AIRTEL LIVE! AND NOP (Net On Phone)
- the two GPRS services of AIRTEL in INDIA .... which were said as not to work on WINDOWS MOBILE handsets is no longer true !
BOTH OF THEM WORK AND WORK LIKE CHARM.. And now there is no need to waste money on MOBILE OFFICE - Airtel's other GPRS service which is very costly ....
THE SETTINGS ARE VERY SIMPLE AND CAN BE EASILY DONE WITH THE HELP OF THE ATTACHED IMAGE/VIDEO....

BASIC POINTS TO NOTE::
1) Dont ask the Airtel Customer Care for settings for your Windows Mobile phone. - the only answer you will get is that NOP and Airtel Live! dont work on Windows Mobile handsets - absolute crap ..... those people dont know anything and want u to spend more by taking MOBILE OFFICE.
2) For Activating Airtel Live!, send SMS :: MASALA ACTIVE to 121
3) For Activating NOP, send SMS :: WAP1 ACTIVE to 121
4) The services will get activated in 4 working hours
5) Till then put on the settings as shown in the video, and restart your phone after 4 hrs of sending sms
6) Open IE or any other browser and Enjoy!!!
7) THE VIDEO SHOWS SETTINGS FOR NOP.... if you want AIRTEL LIVE!, then the only change is that the ACCESS POINT (APN) is : airtelfun.com
THIS VIDEO IS FROM THE HTC VOX a.k.a HTC S710 .... BUT I AM DAMN SURE THAT ALL OTHER WINDOWS MOBILE HANDSETS WILL HAVE SIMILAR SETTINGS ....
IF ANYONE FACES ANY PROBLEM IN ALL THESE STEPS, FEEL FREE TO EXPRESS YOURSELF HERE... I'LL TRY TO HELP YOU ....
IF THE ABOVE STEPS WORK FOR YOU, THEN I DESERVE THANKS......

Probably because Windows Mobile phones dont have wap browsers
no i have my sim in a nokia cell phone. so that can't be the case.
can't activate NOP by any means.

I cant get NOP to work with pc, I have used 3 usb modem softwares (pdanet,htc Modem, forgot the other)
In my thoery, the proxy (which is enabled in NOP) is only WAP access point. where mobile office does not use any proxy to access the internet and it is gprs access point. BTW the proxy for NOP is 100.1.200.99:8080.
If someone could only put an option in pdanet where i can put the proxy or rather update the version. then it would work.
And the amazing thing is that when I connect it with MO (mobile office) all of the three works great!...
If anyone has managed to make NOP work on the pc then please tell me how.
It works! I was using it quite successfully till my phone got bricked.

Lately, for the past couple days I've been getting problems with google search on the phone, and this when not connected to any wifi, I'm on my mobile network, and when I connect to my wifi network, everything is good. Even when going into the browser and going in google, I get the same error, and I have to write a captcha to go to google search.
I get an error, here's a screenshot:

Am I the only one? Is this network related, ROM related?
Thanks,

I'm running 4.3 slimroms and I'm on the Bell Mobility network in the Gatineau/Ottawa region.
No problems when connected to Wi-Fi, but when I'm on the network, Google search doesn't work, emails work and everything else, but Google.
Anyone?
Anyone else experiencing this issue? Whenever I'm connected to Wi-Fi, all is good, makes me wonder if it's not carrier related, and would be Bell Mobility the problem.

Yes I have been getting the same thing for the past week. Any solution?
First it started with a CAPTCHA message if I did a search from the native Internet browser.
Said something like we are experiencing unusual traffic from your network, and gave a 206.x.x.x IP address.
If I did a search on that IP address it came out to be bell server.
I had downloaded firefox, and it was working ok on it for a while since for some reason the ip address showed up as 185.x.x.x server.
Now I am getting the same CAPTCHA from firefox as well. I think the issue is between bell and google server.

Thanks, at least I'm not alone, I'm thinking about calling Bell and trying to get this solved!
I also have that IP starting with 206, hoping it's a problem between Bell and google...
Anyone else? This is really getting annoying...

I believe to have found my problem, when doing a search on "what's my IP address", I was always getting something weird and something saying a proxy, so I tried something, knowing it can't get any worse.
I deleted all proxy settings in my APN, and since then, everything has been working great, I now have a different IP address that's probably not flagged as "spam" and all is working great now.
So all in all, just had to delete the proxy from my Bell APN, and all is good!

Ok, so problem partially fixed, deleting proxy settings cuts my download and upload speed in half, so it's a fix...

How to bypass T-Mobile's VPN Connection Restriction: (In case you don't already know) -> This APN is also used for WiFi Tether Router APP
Wifi Tether Router APP Configuration on Post #3
If you want to connect to a VPN and you can't... just add this APN and make sure it is selected, instead of the default one.

Identical to my settings...
It works..it's good.
Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.
and before anyone asks...
This is my WiFi Tether Router configuration... working perfectly with the APN posted on Post #1
But... I made a guide for this already...

Basically what people do who don't want to pay outrages prices and/or are cheap bastards will use t-mobile's network to tether through a vpn. What this does is makes a third party app force the tethering on so you can use internet from your phone to other devices/computer/tvs etc. without getting the upsell page from t-mobile. T-mobile uses a user-agent string identifier that blocks all data that's identified as not a mobile device, to make it where you can't tether to your computer or console. Now using a vpn (virtual private network) while tethering allows all of your data to be encrypted; essentially the data is seen by t-mobile but they can't determine what it is so they don't block it. I think a lot of the reason why people do this is because you can use the same amount of data on your phone as you can on a computer. (I've actually used 110 gigs one month with no access to wifi without torrenting.). Not talking about downloading a **** load of torrents. But in general use t-mobile's network can handle it. But if everyone starts downloading torrents/tethering, it will severely impact network service.
wait can some tell me exactly what a vpn is and when and why i would want to use it
Well if you're not worried about privacy/tracking/surfing anonymously then I wouldn't worry about it, but if you are I would use a vpn. If you want to read a wall of text explaining what a vpn is and what it does click here. Using a vpn for tethering just allows you to bypass t-mobile's upsell page for their tethering plans. (they use a user-agent string). So it has many benefits. Very little cons, main ones are just reduction in speed/higher ping depending on the amount of server hops you have to do.

ohh ok! thanks
so whenever i want to tether and not be charged (or w.e you want to call it) just activate this vpn apn and then when im done switch back to my original apn ?
the apn is just the access point name, which just determines how you're connecting to the web on t-mobiles network, the only difference between the 2 apns listed is the protocol you're going through, IPv4 or IPv6 or IPv4/IPv6. For the VPN to work the traffic has to be routed through IPv4. Using the wifi tether router app (costs money) allows you to enforce tethering. the vpn encrypts your data so t-mobile can't detect what packets you are sending. That why you need both for this to work on other devices/computers/tvs etc.

no i understand what it does now..but how do u get it to work.i thought u could only have 1 apn enabled at a time?

by both i meant the vpn and tethering for external devices other than your phone. You only need the one APN IPv4 for tethering, You can leave it on that apn and your phone will still work just like normal.

Using a VPN does have performance hits, but depending on how you have it setup they can be negligible. I personally use Private Internet Access daily and while there are speed hits because of the encryption, they aren't really noticeable.
Rasy tether amazon appstore app, tether without root
I found an app on the Amazon app store that allows you to tether through a USB or bluetooth without having to root. Its called Easy tether pro. Its $9.99 i think, I got lucky abbey found out while amazon was giving away a bunch of apps last year. if you want to tether to a computer you have to install software on the computer and set it up, it is really easy to do. If you want to tether via Bluetooth to another mobile device that's has bluetooth you install easy tether tablet on the receiving device then it's a simple as pairing the devices via bluetooth and turning on each other on both ends. typically I just tether to my tablet so a vpn has the necessary I have on occasion tethered to the computer using it and haven't run into any problems yet. Now I do have to say that I have an unlimited data plan which gives me 3 gigs of tethering per month anyway which I rarely use up so t-mobile may have noticed that I was tethering to a computer but since I had not used my three gigs they didn't say anything. I was going to lonk them however I have not reach my 10 post limit As a newbie yet, but they are not hard to find.
Any idea on how to get this working? I've edited build.prop and added dun to apn... But my hotspot still shows data being taken from my hotspot allotment instead of just from my regular data allotment. I have unlimited data and only 8gb hotspot
On dev preview 4 btw
I am interested in this. Anyone have any ideas??

Also did the settings db edit with adb with no success
Only thing that has worked for me on T-Mobile (which metro pcs probably uses the same detection methods) is to do the settings db edit, add "dun" to the APN type, change the APN protocol to ipv4 instead of ipv6 and to also use a VPN to route all traffic through. If one of these steps are missed then tethering usage will show up.

The APN Protocol doesn't have anything to do with your wifi hotspot. Ipv4 is 32 bit IP addresses and Ipv6 is 128 bit IP addresses. Depending on where in the country you are one may work better for you as far as cell phone and data reception goes. I tend to get stronger signal with IPV4.
Bow when it comes to tethering........
Use a root browser to explore and navigate to
Data/system/dropbox and delete everything inside. Then change the permissions of that folder to "r - -
- - -
- - -"
Do the same for data/system/netstats
And data/system/procstats
See the pics I attached. They'll explain everything.
I've been doing this on all my devices that run lollipop and up with no issue. And I have a Nexus 7 (2013) built into the dash of my GMC Sierra that I use to stream YouTube or Pandora or surf the web. It pulls from my hotspot everyday on the way to and from work. About an hour each way. As well as anytime I'm in the truck. And I pull 125 to 150 gigs a month. About half through my hotspot. And I'm on an unlimited 4g LTE data plan. So I should normally have to pay for the hotspot.

I do realize that but if the VPN provider does not support ipv6, the this method will not work, but I'll assume you already knew that....

Great tip, thanks for sharing. Unfortunately it does not seem to work on my LG G5 on Metro Any idea if it only works for stock Android? My ROM is the T-Mobile ROM, so there could be something else at play.
