I want to buy my cousin a G1 and send it to Sweden, will he be able to use DATA? Or will it just be the phone and sms?
Thanks in advance.

Yes since it's a quad-band GSM and dual band, WCDMA band I (Europe/Asia) & band IV (T-Mobile US).
You just have to be sure that the phone is unlocked and your cousin knows the local access point (APN) so he could enter it.

Yes you can add APN and delete existing APN on the phone.
I can confirm it works great on Telia in Sweden
activation?
How about activation? I saw lots of post claiming that you need to use a t-mobile SIM first to "activate" the phone to be able to get access the android os, settings etc?
Does it work with Android Market and all with Telia?
Nothing to worry about activation.
Just unlock , you will be able to use it without any problem.

Everything works except for MMS which i haven't gotten to work yet.
Read the attached document.
It helps you activate your T-Mobile G1. Have added settings with PICS.

Nice advertisement. Of course you could just ask T-Mobile for the unlock code... which is free.
Activation problem
Hi i bought this phone on ebay and im having problems activating it
the phone is unlocked but when i stick the vodafone sim(Ireland) into the phone i cant
activate it .
I've tried using a t moblile sim card(USA) but there are no network coverage in Ireland .
I will try to use a T mobile sim card from the Uk but im really worried at this stage
Does anybody have any suggestions ?
what activation do you mean ? Does the phone ask you for google account userid and pass ?
exactly , but i cant log in to my google account because the vodafone apn settings wont work on my phone
you have to insert the settings from your provider. if you have vodafone and it doesnt work, try again I had to try 3-4 times to find exactly the correct settings (port,servers, a.o.). Im sure it will work with the correct settings (assuming that you have an google account).
I will try but i cant get the correct settings for this phone since vodafone doesnt support G1
Did u get it working on a diferent network ?
no problem if you dont have 3g ! I had only gprs / edge when I did activation and it worked here in Switzerland...
I have did it for Boxed Packed tmobile into airtel india.
You Definately Require Sim Unlocked code from
http://Unlock-TMobileG1.com the same site i got the Unlock code @ $23
They have also Provided me the Full Manual to add You Network APN Setting
MNC / MCC Code then used airtel SIm got that E icon on top with Signal Bar used Gmail A/c User name and password and did it.
No he doesnt need ! his problem is not the unlock code, his phone is unlocked as he wrote above !
He just has to find the correct settings for the APN !
AlrightThanks for helping
ill post back hereif i have success
Hi,
I would like to be able to modify my AT&T radio and change the default Mobile Network Code for my carier, is there any software to make easy to modify the ROM file ?
Thank
I'm not quite sure I understand what you're asking, but a radio will work on various different networks, depending on which SIM card you have in the phone. So I'm not sure that it's in the radio that you need to look.
What is it that you're trying to achive exactly, why do you want to change this code ?
Well, here is my problem;
I bought a Tilt 2 on ebay, and I also get an Unlock code for it. I have inserted my Bell SIM and the phone work correctly. I have configured the APN setting correctly and now I have internet without any problem.
The only bad thing is that the phone always think i'm in roaming, but that's not true. I have to deactivate all setting about roaming check, it's not a big thing but If I got to USA I will be charged for real roaming. and another downside is that many application pup info about roaming and data charge.
I'm searching since couple days to found a solution, and I'm pretty there is one but I have not enough knowledge on programming stuff. I've look all every registry in my phone and no one can't correct this ''roaming'' situation.
That's why im turning to Radio, since this phone is an AT&T, it's propbably seaching to compare SIM network provided and ROM network. I've found an interesting site about MMC/MNC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code
and found that the default network for AT&T is 310-410. Here in Canada We have bell and telus that use same technology then AT&T (UMTS 850 / UMTS 1900).
I would like to change the default ''home'' network code to 302-880. because my Sim Provided IMSI is 302-610 (Bell).
So to make it short. I want to change the default ''HOME'' network 310-410 to 302-880 so the phone will not be in a roaming profile.
Hope that someone can help me, and I'm pretty sure many people will appreciate this fix.
Thank You.
I don't know much about this, but surely it's your SIM card that is providing this code ? Since I could buy an unlocked Tilt 2 and put my own SIM card in it, and use it fine here in the UK on a UK network.
I can't believe that your phone thinks it's roaming just because it's a Tilt 2.
Yes, I found in my registry ProvidedIMSI="302610" that is the SIM registred network 302610 Bell HSPA network. So my SIM is telling the phone to use this network, but there is something in the phone that say it's roaming and not a home network. and I need to find and change this.
I'm not the only one in this situation and i would like to find a fix.
i have no knowledge about this only thing i can think of at the moment is just change the current radio version and flash a new rom. the latest version for radio is
4.49.25.95
and is found here ------> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549939
follow the right steps. [:d]
best of luck
Yes, I've updated the Radio to the latest version and still have the problem of ROAMING. i've try 2 old radio and always got the roaming icon.
Any other input will be accepted!!
Thanks

I read somewhere that roaming starts when you are out of your area code range.
But you can try this too
go to ------> setting ---> personal ------> phone -------> Network (in the bottom tabs)
In the network tab click Find Network and make sure it is the same network you are using.
Network selection should be "Automatic".
Now in next tab BAND
select network type to "GSM" and GSM/UMTS band to "Auto".
Try this and let me know if this work else i will ask somebody knowledgeable like Sir Phunkee

I've play with these setting and nothing seem to work.
But maybe I found something interesting.
I've just test the phone with a ROGERS SIM card and I get 3G signal and i'm NOT in roaming mode..
Now, What that mean ? Rogers 3G is UMTS/HSPA 850/1900MHz same as BELL.
Why it say Roaming when phone is connected to BELL with BELL Sim and not on ROGERS SIM??
Could someone help me with that ? fix, cab, anything ?
Thanks
rooming
Hi
I do not know think you want to do with your tilt 2
Why you don't do a hard SPL and install a cocked rom !! as energy
I am using a tilt purchased from AT&T without contract
I get a unlock cod from the internet then I do a hard SPL it and install the energy rom in, is work like a charm with Rogers, without any problem( only the gps wish I never try
Perhaps this is can resolve your problem you should try
thanks
Already done Cjoco My Tilt 2 is Unlocked and Hard-SPL with latest EnergyROM.
Like I said before, SIM ROGERS work like a charm in my phone, No roaming warning. but with BELL and TELUS SIM I get the Roaming notif but it's not true, Im connected to BELL and VOICE,DATA,etc. work #1.
People say that it work with ROGERS because this carrier have a fallback signal if 3G is not available, with BELL if I lose 3G signal my phone doesn't work.

then i think problem is with your sim card not with your phone. Just get your sim card replaced and i am sure the problem would be resolved.
the problem may be with his sim card, but im not sure replacing it will fix anythibng. im also with bell and have the same problem on my fuze.
bios2k, how old is your sim card?
bobzero My SIM card is 2 Week Old. so, i'm not sure it because my SIM is old.
I'll give a call at tech support @ BELL to see if they know why it doing this. I'm not sure if they will be enough good to explain this situation.
I've read last night on many forums the RILPHONE.DLL could be a possible cause of our problem.
In my config I can select GSM(850,1700) + UMTS(850,1700) but there is no option to select UMTS only. so maybe the phone is searching for GSM first (rogers) that's why when I insert a ROGERS SIM my phone is not roaming.
Is there a way I can extract RILPHONE.DLL for our EnergyROM or Stock Tilt 2 rom. Maybe I can ask a Programmer to take a look at this DLL to see the code.
I'll let you know.
I've just talk with BELL technical support and they have no idea why I'm the phone say it's in ROAMING. I've talk to the billing department and they say I don't have any ROAMING fees, so nothing to worry about..
Now, I'm still at the same state = no solution
Same here.
I was checking around and found many got this problem, including BBs. Now, some claimed that after upgrading the O/S for his BB, it went away. Another person with different device upgraded his O/S and started having that problem, and it wasn't there with stock ROM.
Make me think it has to do with the software side of thing and nothing to do with SIM or radios. To pinpoint what is causing it, can be a tough task though.
scooper True, Hard task for people that don't know much about programming ROM and files, but maybe we can have help from other that wanna look at our problem.
I'm available to test if someone want to Help us .

You should try to change the radio and rom of your phone. Make sure to Task 29 b4 flashing. Another thing to make sure is you use the right radio, i mean the specific radio for telus, t-mobile or att.....
Wrong radio can also cause such problems.
I have the same issue with my Unlocked Tilt2 on Telus. I found a lot of people with unlocked winmo devices on bell/telus complaining of this problem and never have seen a solution. People say that a Fido sim will do the same thing. Only Rogers sims seem to not show roaming. PLEASE post if you find the solution or even cause of this.
I just did task29 and reflash ROM. I soon as I have the main menu Roaming Icon appear on top just beside or 3G.
Damn!! still stock with this roaming issue
anyone have Q's ?
For the last weeks.. I have been trying to get this phone working with T-Mobile..I had unlock the sim card and now running badboyz 4.3 rom. 1.3

This is probably because T-mob covers only particular places the frequencies this phone uses http://theunlockr.com/2013/07/05/htc-one-sprint-specs/ vs t-mob https://t-mobile.jive-mobile.com/#jive-document?content=/api/core/v2/documents/4988

Is there anything I can do to fix this problem ? (different rom or radio...etc..) Or I have to give up the phone... Cause it is too much headache to "searching for network" all the time and miss all the call with no service on the phone without knowing..

well, I am not an expert on the tmobiles network, but going by what lazybozz, said, I seem to remember tmobile using different bands than the other carriers, so what you may be experiencing, is the phone being in the vicinity of multiple towers, but not all of them are within the band that the phone supports. So its like the phone doesnt even see those towers. On a side note, this issue caused alot of chaos for those who unlocked iphones about 3 years ago, they could use EDGE on tmobiles network but not 3G, so i assume this is a similar situation. So long story short, yeah you probably cant fix the problem, unless you get a quad band phone. I could be wrong, but it does sound like a logical reason for the issue you are having.
as elvisypi said above, Its the freq that T-mobile operates on in that area. If your getting T-mobile at all in the states then you have already flashed a radio. However flashing any other radio is not going to give you the freq that tmobile uses, Its not a software limitation its a physical hardware limitation.
Thanks for your reply, do you know any app out there that monitor and alarm you when the network or signal is lost ? That works with 4.3 ?That way at least you know the phone is offline ... some of the apps I tried is anything at all ...
Thanks
Have you tried an app like tasker? Its essentially an automation app. It isnt jist for your use. Its for many different functions. Jist look on the app store for tasker. That might help

Ok guys very strange and a little bit of a long winded story here......
So I am from the UK and have a factory sim free HTC One M7, used in the UK on EE no issues.
I am travelling in Canada so decided to get a Telus Prepaid Sim card, went to the store had it activated and installed today and it was working fine for about 3 hours in Medicine Hat. As I drove out the city it began to lose signal, now the only network I can see under carriers is Rogers.
I tried the sim in my friends phone (samsung s3) and it works fine and picks up signal immediately.
So it MUST be a phone issue, can someone please help me find a solution?

so that means either your phone is locked and it does not allow for overseas carriers. reason you see rogers is thats roaming mode on and connected to Rogers.

option 2) try other sims Bell, rogers, koodoo, fido. if they work then its unlocked phone.
factory reset if anything.

Sorry.. no ideas.
Hi guys,
I bought a SM920P Note 5 (Sprint) in , I could use 3G at VietNam without any problems but when I arrive at Japan, I can't use 3G anymore, only ordinary phone calls and SMS. The phone keeps alerting this error : lte:esm - 29 emm - x unable to stablish a wireless data connection.
I have entered the APN setting of the carrier. I tried to put the SIM into another phone and it works without problems.
In the settings>more>about device>status : the networks says HSPDA. So I changed the Bearer in the APN setting to HSPDA but still no luck !
My OS now is Nougat, and I don't think the phone is rooted because I'm receiving auto updates.
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this problem?
Forgive me if there were missing information, just ask me and I will provide, sorry I'm not very "technical" !

I only have 4 mode in my network mode :
- CDMA
- LTE/CDMA
- GSM/UTMS
- Automatic
If I chose CDMA or LTE/CDMA there won't be any signal at all, the working options are GSM/UTMS and Automatic which I assume is the GSM/UTMS itselft.
Any ideas ??

Did you get Sprint to unlock your phone for a different carrier before you left? Those APN settings have to be set exactly right and you must save it. Once you change your network mode it may take a bit to get signal.

I do not know if rooting it would do you any good. I am not sure if changing the firmware would allow you to change carriers. I am not even positive that's the problem. Did it ask for some kind of code after you inserted the new SIM?
Is it a data only SIM? I think it needs to be a data only SIM being a CDMA phone.

No problem. I could be wrong but I am pretty sure your Sprint phone is CDMA and I am pretty sure that the only thing your phone uses your SIM card for is LTE data. So if I am correct you need a SIM that is data only. The other phone it works in, is it CDMA or GSM?

Actually I don't know anything about the CDMA or GSM things. Here is the result I got from googling the spec of the other phone :
Technology
GSM / HSPA / LTE
So, assuming you're right, can I just "disable" the calling and SMS function of the SIM, make it to become a data only SIM? I already got into a 6 month contract here, so I can't change the contract type in about 5 months !!!

You are welcome. I do not think you can do that to a SIM. The other phone sounds like a GSM phone and if the SIM works in that phone it will not work in a CDMA phone. I would go to your new carrier and ask if there is anything they can help you with. That's assuming that you are not carrier locked to Sprint. Then you have the fact that the CDMA SIM will not work in your other phone.

Yes I am sure. I have seen CDMA carrier phones that were refurbished by third parties that "claim" they are unlocked for GSM carriers. I am not sure how much I trust that. You may hit up Sprint support and see if there is something they can do for you. If you bought it on contract from them they may not do anything for you.
Good luck.
