[Q] My N4 broken already?

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

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,

T-Mobile US tethering block

Hello comminity
I have a N4 using Carbon Rom and with 4G LTE active and running. Today I ran into an issue where my tethering is routing my laptop to a tmobile landing page asking me to change my plan. Anyway around this?

Interesting. I wonder how they're detecting non-mobile access.
You might try User Agent Switcher with Firefox or Chrome and then set it to a mobile user agent string. Sorry, I'd post links, but the dumb-ass forum won't let me.

The carrier is detecting that you are tethering and want you to buy the tethering plan...I would stop because they will tack that extra money for the tethering onto your bill if you don't buy the plan. I am unaware of a way around it

Write a new APN . which will eliminate the hidden settings in the stock APN. Look in the gs3 forum for ways around teather detection. Then apply it to your nexus. IT WORKS. I just LTE tethered a lot last 2 days while out of town. Convert this app 2 a system app and write new apn with it.

Do you mean just copy the existing APN info into a new listing, or create one with different settings? If the latter, which should I use?

T-Mobile Z1s VPN connection issues?

I don't know how many users here are on t-mobile with the Z1s and using the VPNs from your phone, but this is a necessity for me. After finally getting around to it I found out real quick that it didn't work, and recently found a post on their support forum confirming this as well as a workaround for it.
http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/60804
The above is specific to T-Mobile, but not to the Z1s, so I wanted to go ahead and add my experience, which is specific to the Z1s:
For some reason I was unable to edit the APN settings. I called T-Mobile support and they told me they can't help with VPN issues because it is the IT department of my companies problem (that would be me... and yes i know the vpn works). They told me if i wanted to access the APN settings i needed to unlock the phone? But I'm impatient so here is what I did for the Z1s specifically I just created a new APN with the same settings, and basically all you need to do is chang the protocol from IPv6 only to IPv4/IPv6 :good:
And now VPN works!
P.S. If this should be in a more general sub-forum please let me know/feel free to move it. :good:

I use private internet access VPN and their apps works fine for me. Did not need to modify anything. Just entered username/pw and connect. Have not tried the phone using a corporate work VPN though.

The problem seems to be if your endpoint is using IPv4, since the TMO network seems to be on IPv6 (though it may depend on the area). Also, this is using IKEv1 IPSEC VPNs through built-in android VPN settings. I also tried NCP's VPN client (3rd party app).

I think tmo should set their default profile to IPv4/IPv6.
I noticed sometimes I don't have data connection even though at full bars.
After I create a new profile with IPv4/IPv6, I don't have this problem any more.

Unlimited tethering on MetroPCS (T-Mobile mvno)?

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??
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

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.

What APN settings for AT&T?

Hi folks,
I will set up my 6t on Tuesday, switching from my 3t. Does the 6t (direct from OP, NOT the T-mo) have a built in APN set up for ATT? Or do I need to configure one? And if so, what is the current optimal setting list to use?
Thanks!
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

The device should pick up the APN once you insert your SIM. I didn't have to manually enter anything when I set mine up.

I've setup my new 60. It's going great! The SIM card did result in not one but two AT&t APNs and it automatically chose one called something like next-gen smartphone. The other one AT&t phone is the setting that I used to use on older devices. for now I'm leaving it on the next-gen one because everything seems to be working including visual voicemail with speech to text. The only thing I haven't noticed is VOLTE coming on but I don't really care that much about it.
Picture attached.

Could you go into the APN setting, and see if there is anything different, than the standard at&t settings
see if any of the following are different
MMSC
MMSC Proxy
MMS Port
MCC
MNC
APN Type
APN Protocol
TIA
Just curious

The Nextgenphone APN supports faster LTE speeds as well as VoLTE. I had issues when I first got my 6T and lost LTE service for a couple of days when I was using the Nextgenphone APN. When I switched to AT&T Phone APN, I was able to get data but it was only 3G speeds.
To enable VoLTE, you need to follow the instructions in this post, https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78073766&postcount=6. After you tick the VoLTE switch, in OnePlusLogKit, go into the SIM settings and you should now have the option to enable VoLTE. Turn that on and if your line is provisioned properly, you should have VoLTE. You may need to reboot.
Were you able to activate AT&T Visual Voicemail app?

I haven't yet gone through the VOLTE process described above. PResumably I will one day but I rarely use the phone for talking and when I do the standard stuff works fine.
No problems activating ATT Visual Voicemail. After activating it, I called from another phone, left a message, and almost instantly got a notification, and when I went to the app, my transcribed text was waiting as well as the listening controls. Note, I did have to go into settings after activation and turn on the transcribe function, which is off by default.
