I know you can use the G1 with AT&T service, but I see conflicting information on the interwebs claiming what is/isn't working when used with AT&T.
1. Is the market working?
2. Is the new "Maps" GPS working?
3. Any drawbacks you can think of, except for no 3G access?
Thank you!

Market works fine.
Not familiar with the new "Maps" GPS...so I can't verify
No drawbacks aside from 3g. I don't have AT&T 3g in my areas anyhow, so makes no difference to me.
If you get te rogers dream instead of the tmobile g1 you will get 3g service. Assuming you are going to root the phone and install a custom rom you will have no issues with the market. Also assuming you are staying in the US and you root the dream you can get the new google navigation.
I'm not sure how smooth it would be on the dream but I'm sure it works fine.
The phone shouldn't care which network you're on. I have a G1 running on AT&T and it works fine. The only special thing I had to do (besides SIM and CID unlock the phone) was program the APN settings manually during the initial Google Account setup:
Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: (not set)
Port: (not set)
Username: [email protected]
Password: (not set)
Server: (not set)
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN type: (not set)
works for me! ^_^ However, YMMV..

LOL a map or a lawsuit???
Everything works very very well
one draw back is the 3G, there isn't any.
I have my G1 with AT&T and to be honest if I had a data plan, I probably wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between T-Mobile and AT&T
GG
Yeah, it's not bad at all. EDGE connection is iffy at times, but with T-Mobile I only get GPRS at my house. Everything works just as you'd expect it to.
I had a T-Mobile G1 with T-mobile services until moved to a different location, where AT&T has a great coverage and T-Mobile has almost none. Unlocked G1, signed with AT&T. G1 works fine - the only application which has refused to work is an MSN messenger.
Edge coverage only, of course.
After that, I bought unlocked Rogers Dream on fleabay in order to get US AT&T 3G service on Android based phone.
It was preactivated with Google servers, but interface was in french and I decided to restore it to default for the sake of simplicity. It was a shock to discover, that the phone did not want to connect to Google Servers for activation (AT&T APN has been created and sim card with a data plan was inserted). Fortunately (contrary to T-Mobile G1) Rogers Dream has an option to "activate later", basically gives you full access to your phone without activating it first. That what I did - went to "activate later", turned on wi-fi and activated it.
Turned off wi-fi - voila - everything works - AT&T 3G, all market applications (not sure about paid ones - don't use them), tethering using Tetherbot, etc. A bit different dialer interface, but I like it. So far, I don't need to root it and/or install a custom ROM.
Hi All,
Tried to search for this already but didn't find it.
I have an unlocked Captivate and am using it on the TMobile Network. I was originally on a $10 a month Data Plan but for some mysterious reason, I am no longer to get on the internet, nor send out any MMS. I am still able to receive MMS but just can't send any at all.
Any time I try to send a MMS, it sits on the "sending" status for about 15 min and then it finally just comes back to me with "failed".
I have been using this data plan on my phone for about 2.5 months now no problem and then a few days ago, it basically crapped out on me.
I have tried a few different APN settings:
Data Roaming is Checked
Access Point Name: t-mobile
APN: internet2.voicestream.com
MMSC: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
APN Type: internet + mms
All others are not set
Access Point Name: t-mobile
APN: wap.voicestream.com
MMSC: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
APN Type: internet + mms
All others are not set
and
Access Point Name: t-mobile
APN: epc.tmobile.com
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
APN Type: internet + mms
All others are not set
I would set one of them in the settings, restart the phone and try them. They now always default to the "web2go" upsale screen.
Before I always had it set to the internet2.voicestream.com settings and it worked great.
I tried calling TMobile and they are now telling me that the "system" has somehow figured out that I'm using an Android/Smartphone and isn't allowing me to use the $10 data plan anymore.
I don't understand how that is if every rep has had to ask me what phone I use, unless one of the times I called in, the rep entered that into the system and now they know?
Now they are saying the only way that I am able to send MMS now and or get on internet is if I upgrade to the 200mb/mo for $15 data plan or $30/mo for unlimited.
Can anyone verify this? That they somehow the System is able to see what kind of phone I use and if so... would I be able to trick the system somehow and use a non smartphone like an old nokia for a while and go online, etc... and then switch back to my captivate if it works?
I feel like they're just trying to upsell me and a bratty rep kicked me off moreso than the "System".
Call tmobile and ask, its open.source so.they shoukdnt do anything, they might be doing guess work about it though

Hi,
Can someone please shed some light on my problem.
I ordered an Atrix HD from eBay, thinking it was unlocked but later found out from the buyer it was locked. No big deal I thought since I was going to use it on Straight Talk's AT&T compatible sim and ST said phone DOES NOT need to be unlocked for features/service to work.
Well, right out of the box with an activated ST sim I started up the phone, never got to the "sim card unlock" screen as I thought I was going to get though I inserted a "foreign carrier" sim, but rather went straight to Home Screen. I made a call, sent a text . . . all good. However, internet and mms not working. I cannot connect to the internet at all. Phone doesn't even make an attempt, no error messages, just a plain "no internet connection" message the second I press anything that needs an internet connection.
Spoke to ST for hours trying different APN settings, nothing works! Used wi-fi to download app "tweakker", tried those APN settings as well, still no internet. ST has no other solutions for me. They are clueless. I once again asked, could it be because the phone is LOCKED? And once again they assured me it should not make a difference since they use AT&T towers. I tried using an app called APN Backup and restore, but I cannot use it on my phone though it is running ICS 4.0.4 and no "3rd party changes allowed" popps up.
My phone has the AT&T APN settings as default and are locked I can't delete or edit them. I CAN however create new APN's which I have multiple times, saved them, booted up and selected them. They are still there after a reboot but still the phone seems not to even recognize them being there.
I even tried a factory reset, thinking it may solve the problem but to no avail. :crying:
Today I contacted Motorola. After 2 hrs on the phone with them, still back to squar one. They had "NO IDEA" as to why I couldn't connect and why my phone couldn't accept the new APN's. So Straight Talk couldn't help me, Motorla said, "send us the phone and we can see if there is something wrong with it and you can have it back within 3-4 weeks(!!) or "learn to live" with the phone as is!"
So, after a lot of reading through online forums, searching for answers, I am left to wonder if my phone is acting the way it is because it is not an UNLOCKED PHONE. (Could the solution really be that simple???)
The people I have read who have an Atrix HD with other carriers besides AT&T seems to have no problem with their phones. However, it doesn't say if they bought unlocked versions or not.
I am now turning to this forum as my last cry for help. Can someone PLEASE SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS FOR ME???
** Do I need to unlock this phone (I have no issues ordering an unlock code and getting a T-mobile sim to do this) in order for the internet to work?
** Is the phone not recognizing the APN's because the phone is technically locked? (Even though Straight Talk says their service should work on a locked phone).
** If I do get a T-mobile sim and try to unlock the phone, will I get the "sim unlock code" screen, because it sure isn't popping up when I insert my ST sim.
(What good is an unlock code if I can't get to the "unlock code" window?)
Any answers are appreciated.
Thanks!

** Is the phone not recognizing the APN's because the phone is technically locked? (Even though Straight Talk says their service should work on a locked phone). Unless the SIM is unlocked is may be stuck on the AT&T APNs. Might as well try unlocking it with a service.
** If I do get a T-mobile sim and try to unlock the phone, will I get the "sim unlock code" screen, because it sure isn't popping up when I insert my ST sim. That's how mine is. I SIM unlocked the AT&T model for T-Mobile US in this way. I didn't have to change any APNs, everything worked off the bat.

I answered a few for you. I don't have Straight Talk anymore after finding out about their very limited data usage in my area. I dropped them for T-Mobile "Unlimited Nationwide 4G" plan and I am much happier.

Thanks for your reply . . .
I will try to unlock it as soon as my T-mobile micro sim arrived. I am surprised that you didn't have to enter any APN settings for T-mobile though. Why is that? I thought that you always have to adjust the settings for the specifc network you are using. Did your internet work right away? Did you get the "sim unlock code" screen when you first popped in the T-mobile sim? Just curious so that I know what to expect when I get my own T-mobile sim.
I have really bad reception where I live and unfortunatelly it is only At&t's towers I get any bars with , thus I am stuck with either full price AT&T or Straight Talk since they use AT&T towers.
Thanks again. I appreciate your reply.

Wow . . so you are saying you just popped in your ST sim and you were up an running just like that? Why isn't that working for me???
Can I ask when you purchased yours? Was it before they came out with the OS upgrade? You are the first person that I came accross that have a locked phone like myself with ST service. But yours is working! So what the heck is wrong with my phone? At first I thought it was not working because the phone being LOCKED but now that I see yours was working fine I am starting to wonder if it is MY phone that has a problem. Or could it be a corrupt sim that is not connecting with the towers? When I asked ST that question they said if the sim wasn't working correctly I wouldn't be able to make calls either, so they stand by their card. hmm.... If you have those settings I appreciate it:
This is what I have tried so far:
The standard APN settings that come with the sim card:
Name: Straight Talk
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
Port: http:mmsc.cingular.com (with // after http
MMSProxy: 66.209.11.33 (also tried mms2.tracfone.com)
MMS Port: 80
I also searched the internet for a tons of other options, leaving proxy blank, inserting "default, etc" under APN type . . . I tried A LOT and still nothing..
Using the app "Tweakker" I got these settings which I also tried with no luck:
They require two APNs
Internet:
Name : Straight Talk
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
Port: 80
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MMC: 410
APN Type: default,*
For MMS:
Name: Straight Talk MMS
APN: att.mvno
MMSC: http:mmsc.cingular.com (with // after http
MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.33
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MMC: 410
APN Type: mms
So . . .if you have anything different . . .please share so that I can try your version.
Thanks for your help!

Hi ,
I will actually be using Straight Talk on this phone but in order to unlock it I ordered a T-mobile sim so that I can get to the "sim unlock code" screen since just inserting my ST sim doesn't bring up that screen. I posted the APNs I have tried so far . . .if yours are different please post when you get a chance. Thanks again.

Thanks . . I gave it a try rebooted and still nothing! I left all othe fields blank as per your settings and my phone don't have the "APN roaming protocol: IPv4. Instead I have a grey/shaded out "APN enable/disable that is checked for enable" I can't control that option. It is just there.
Thanks for settings but I am still looking for something that will work on mine.

i been a straight talk customer for a long time. then eventually went to the 60 dollar go phone plan for LTE. not that LTE is vailable for straight talk i switched back to save a few pennies. anyone else on straight talk . there MMS sends but is never received by the other person. or sending one to yourself. sometimes it works sometimes it does. not. i never had this problem before. i tried old and new apn settins. it seems to work when it wants too is is a touch wiz bug . or is it straight talk
Pretty sure it's straight talk.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
never had these issues before. ever. i wonder if a bad sim can do this.
calling all straight talk users. with new sim LTE.
i installed new sim card. as i posted earlier. data works perfect LTE works its just mms sometimes sends and sometimes does not. i noticed when i delete the apn and reinsert it. mms will work once or twice. i also noticed if i toggle between. the locked AT&T apn and the straight talk one it will work for a short while. do you think the locked AT&T apn is trying to take over newly inserted settings? i never had this issue on any phones i ever owned
does anyone know if unlocking the phone will unlock the locked apn?
I am also having the same issues with ST and my Sony ION. Last Friday was working with my apn settings and didnt notice how low my battery had gotten. I was trying various settings I saw posted. The best I could get was ability to send a pic but never the ability to recieve one. Worst yet in the whole process my battery had gotten very low and during a reboot it would not light up or even recieve a charge! To say the least I was very distressed. Tried the hard reboot PWR + VOL DOWN no luck. Just dead all the way. To sum up this story it was Tuesday at lunch when I tried to charge it once again and I got the red dot charge light going again. I was happy to see some action. And a while later I could turn it on once again. I suppose the battery had to die all the way to get itself unlocked. The Straight Talk kit I bought at Wal Mart had an extra full size sim and I used an old HTC phone to get by after transfering to that sim card with ST over the phone. Now I need another micro sim for my ION as they are one time use only. Tonight I pulled out my adapter/micro sim out of the ION and inserted the full size sim and it worked! Seems that it may be hard to get it back out one day but who cares its working right now. When I find vpn settings that work good for this reigon of the US (Florida) I will post them here too. Maybe some of this info can be of use to someone else going through the same hassles as me. Thanks for reading!
After using straight talk for 7 months I gave my Sony ION to my brother and I got the HTC One M7 for a buck and added to my girlfriends family plan account.
The bottom line with straight talk bring your own phone and toss in the sim is after trying all the different APNs I never got a single one to work here in South Florida, USA So I am convinced that AT&T sells sub-standard service to Straight Talk and you get what you pay for. I told my brother to get the sim unlock code and try T Mobiles network as the ION is on their list for accepted devices.
I will get the last APN settings and post them here. I found some settings that improved my data speeds and used high priority. Another thing is when you change your APN setting with a good working one you will always get good service for a while until their servers start messing with your service. So if you notice your service sucks. Switch back and then forth again between 2 different sets of APN settings. This will throw ATT off for a while. Good luck!

Try these APN settings ( http://apn-settings.com/samsung-galaxy-s4-straight-talk-apn-settings/ )

my atnt note 3 functions perfectly on straighttalk with these APN
edit, these APN settings also worked 100% on my nexus4, and galaxy s4 before getting my note3
i also did not get a new sim card (ive been a customer before they offered LTE)
i hope this helps!
I just recently switched to TMO from ATT where I had the S6A. I unlocked the phone and everything works besides data (Wifi, texts, calls). The reps at the TMO store told me the phone just can't use mobile data on their network. Does anyone know if this is true? I've been browsing the internet for a few days now but can't seem to find a solid answer, it seems that some users are able to access data with an unlocked phone. It's strange to me that I can call or text (even send pictures) but not access the mobile network.
I tried changing the APN settings to what I found online:
Name: T-Mobile
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy: this is not required
MMSC: mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy: not required
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: Not Set
But still nothing works and I'm running out of ideas. I should note that I even checked on TMO's website for compatibility and it said the S6A should work on their network and have access to 4GLTE.
Anyone have any suggestions for me? Or is my best bet getting a new device?
Thanks!
Hi there. I used to own an At&t GS6 on Tmobile network and data did work. Try checking the APN is setup correctly. Also try downloading the app called "4g network only" by Att. There you can change the data settings.
S6 Active DATA works fine for me on TMO but VOICE is a no go
I just got one of these and data works just fine for me but voice does not. I've read that VoLTE in the new T-Mobile update is not compatible with the S6 Active. But again data is working just fine.
