What exactly are you trying to do? Maybe try to restart you G1 or reboot it. I have never had this problem at all.Maybe check with some other users.

You should change the thread title to something more informative pertaining to your proble. Most of the time, the pros on here will pass by a thread just says help because they don't feel like entering a thread just to see if they *can* help at all. Also, it might allow others who have had the same problem and fixed to easily see your problem and come to the rescue.
Back to the problem at hand. Can you use the mobile data for anything? updating weather etc? If you can't then its probably something to do with your APN settings. Who is your carrier? T-Mobile? AT&T? To check what APNs you have now, go to: Settings>Wireless Controls> Mobile Network>APNs
If it is blank, that's why you can't connect, the phone doesn't know where to connect to. Simply type your carrier into google along with G1 APN settings (ie AT&T G1 APN settings) and they should tell you the correct settings to input in order for you to access your mobile network. Good luck.
P.S. Also add more information about what's going on with your phone so that we can figure it out quicker without having to ask you for everything one-by-one. You can tell us the ROM you're using, whether this is a new problem, or something that's never worked, your wireless carrier, your SSN (just kidding), but come on, some background info could make this process infinitely faster...

[Q] Why Do I Have 2 Different IMEI Numbers?

While a new member, I've been following the community a bit and have flashed my Captivate successfully several times.
It started acting weird earlier this week (lagging and shutting itself off) so I decided to re-flash it and re-apply SRE with all the goodies it brings.
Since my last flash, the phone works fine (calls, messaging, and Internet) except for one problem - the Android Market.
I can access the market but am unable to download anything. I've tried many different solutions, ROM's (JF2, JH2, and JH3), 3G/WiFi, internal settings, clearing the Market cache, Dalvik cache, etc., using Market Access and going outside of AT&T's allowed applications, all to no avail. It's the same whether I attempt to download after a fresh flash or after applying SRE. I've also tried Unleash the Beast.
Finally I decided to call AT&T to find out if there was a problem somewhere on their end.
Here's the weird thing:
The IMEI I have on the sticker under my battery is that of a Captivate and matches what they have on record. The representative I spoke to told me that the IMEI I have in my phone's menu is an iPhone IMEI.
With all that being said, I have two questions:
1) How did this happen?
2) How can I fix it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What does your imei start with?

The one in the software starts with 004999
The one on the sticker starts with 351863

Iphone imei starts with 011. That rep doesnt know what hes doingp

did you ask them to update youe imei number? would likly fix it, could have just been an accident, from what i have read about 10% of imei number are not unique so somehting could have gotten messed up server side

also a quick google of the 0049 imei shows that there are several iphones with that imei

The rep who I've been working with is off today but she said she'd call me tomorrow. I'll ask her to update the number and hopefully she can.
Unfortunately, while I'm pretty much a noob to all this, I've found that I still know more than most of the people on the AT&T side and the rep I've been working with is the most knowledgeable of the group.

Did you go from an iphone to the samsung if so, it could be a translation issue on atts side which means the billing system never updated the imei to the switch because it errored out on the billing side happend all the time when i use to be a switch tech for att simple to fix just need to file a ticket with a certain department but can be a pain if the rep is new.

I thought the phone read its IMEI number from its own hardware. This thread implies that something on the network is telling the phone what its IMEI Number should be.
I know there are a lot of Ebay phones with bogus stickers - the stickers have one SN/EMEI number, but the phone internally says another.
Where did you get your phone?

I've never owned an iPhone and I purchased the Captivate from a corporate store, not from an authorized reseller or ebay.

wait cant this be useful if we can change the imei to a vibrant one we can get money off of data or would most of you feel bad for doing that (one good thing about that though for 10 dollars we get unlimited data)

You gotta pay to play. If you don't want to pay smartphone fees, don't get a smartphone. I'm sure we'd all like a break on price, but when it comes down to it, we can't get one, so we make do.
And unless the modmyi forum was wrong, that's illegal.

yeah i know but im just saying if someone isnt scared to go to jail

If the IMEI shows as 004999010640000, you might check out this thread. Good luck.

actually i was just looking at the library of congress's recent ruling on the DMCA and their new excemptions and read this
"
(3) Computer programs, in the form of firmware or software, that enable used wireless telephone handsets to connect to a wireless telecommunications network, when circumvention is initiated by the owner of the copy of the computer program solely in order to connect to a wireless telecommunications network and access to the network is authorized by the operator of the network.
"
sounds like to me that changing the imei is legal as long as the only reason you are doing it is to connect to a network that you are already authorized to use

Changing The imei is illegal and has nothing to do with the DMCA. changing The imei is fraud like changing a car's vin number.

how do you know its illegal the DMCA was changed and said it was legal so until you find something that says its illegal we will never know

You are confusing unlocking with changing your IMEI. It is legal to unlock and hack, it is not legal to change the phone's network id.

I can't point to you an exact law, but cloning phones has been considered fraudulent for years and people have been prosecuted. In changing the IMEI number, you are in essence cloning a phone - it may not exist yet, but it could. So once a new phone is made with the new EMEI number you created, you have created fraud.
After doing some research - this is the section of federal code that is used to prosecute cell phone cloners:
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/usc_sec_18_00001029----000-.html
U.S. Code: TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 47 > § 1029
§ 1029. Fraud and related activity in connection with access *devices
You may not get arrested for changing your IMEI (not one person anyway) but at some point the carrier will probably just black list your device or your account.
Changing the IMEI or ESN basically makes your device a counterfeit access device. Some debate that if they own 3 phones they should be able to let them all share one IMEI if only one is active at a time.
Personally, I can see no valid reason to change your IMEI - swapping sim cards is easy enough.

Data connection on new Nexus 6

I just got my phone today and stuck my SIM in, data is not working for me. I have set the APN the same as my previous phone but still no joy.
I am in Ireland trying to connect to Vodafone. Any advice?

Do you have an exclamation mark next to the signal icon? Try forcing 3G or 2G to see, what happens.

It's been mentioned in a few threads that you could also go in and delete all the other APNs that aren't used (if any exist) and then do a reboot to see if that helps.

NOPE! No go. Same ol' same ol'.
Had a discussion with a law firm in Houston today about a class action suit against Lenovo. Yes, we all know it's Google, but the idea is Lenovo has ears AND a brain, whereas there are no ears at Google and some days, I am not so sure about any brains either.
I'll be posting back with a clean thread as this moves along. Best guess as to number of us who have reported it on the Internet passes 10,000. So do the math, it's a very high percentage of Nexus 6 owners.

Hotspot Mod no root needed. (WIP) 3/4/16

almost ready just have to confirm a few things before i give the instructions

I don't know if OP is returning to this thread, but here is the explanation he posted in the S7 Edge forum:
Just a quick how to on unlocking the Hotspot on any version of tw including our new s7 and s7 edge. Root is Not needed
First you must get your msl
There are numerous ways to get it the best way is call sprint tech support and tell them "band 41 is disabled and you need to enable it. Your friends s5 gets it and he has sprint spark. Mines disabled" "i can tell because the app lte discovery shows it disabled" they will send you to advanced tech support who will give you the msl and walk you through enabling band 41. {just go along with him and say goodbye you got the msl now} or however you can get it
Next type in ##data# (on the phone dialer pad)
Click edit
Type in yoUr MSL
Go to apn settings
Select the first apn EHRPD and go to type
Change it from (default, mms) to (default, mms, dun) no spaces
Click the menu up top right and hit save
{hitting save is mandatory}
Next got to the lte apn
Go to type
And make the same changes also remember HIT SAVE
Now reboot and turn on your Hotspot
Tadaaaa a.
Note Hotspot will not work on airrave. without adding this:
to get it to work on airrave got to the same APN area as above with MSL
click add apn and name it APN2 EVDO_A
next go to APN below name and type n.ispsn
next go down to type and enter default ,mms,dun
next go down to protocol and check ipv6 and ipv4 both do this on the roaming protocol below it also
next go down to bearer and uncheck unspecified and check EVDO_A
last again in the top right corner hit menu save (saving is mandatory) At least this method. But it works flawlessly otherwise. Hopes this helps
Works on All tw roms
Enjoy
if you update your prl or profile youll have to add dun back to the apns it only takes a minute though
profile and prl updates reset the dun setting
enjoy my fellow s7 edge owners
ADDITIONAL EDIT: If you activated your S7 via the Sprint site after you ordered it, your MSL is the "activation code" that they sent you in your activation email. You can find it on the left hand side, next to the photo of the phone. Look for where it says "Activation code: XXXXXX If your device does not activate automatically, you may need this code." That code is your MSL.

Why not just subscribe to the thread?

Depending on your plan, Hotspot is included if you have one of the gig bucket plans. Use to have to do Hotspot tweaks too,
I went from the 1500 unlimited data, to a 3gig plan and Hotspot is included.
My plan with 2 ezpay s7 phones and 3 gigs is much less than I was paying. Plus I never use more than 3 gigs, usually way less with wifi.

If you have your msl, just adding dun to a string in your data settings will work.

Hoping for the best with this. This was as big omission on my part when switching from my CM 12.1 S3 to the S7 today. Really miss that on the go.

Be sure you got 'em all.

Edited my first post with the details on this mod.

OMG 5 tech support guys later and all giving me the run around for this band 41. Non giving up any codes. Any other work around for finding MSL i miss my tethering ability.

Hopefully you have an old sprint phone lying around...
'Switch/activate' the old phone on your gs7 line via mysprint.com,
at completion of process,
You'll get the ACTIVATION(msl) code.
Wait a short time for account to settle (5-30min),
reactivate your gs7 and get the ACTIVATION(msl) code a6 completion of process.

Tried that but system tells me to go to a sprint store. I have my old rooted Note 3. Guess i will wait for root

I got mine in 3 minutes via chat when I told them I needed the MSL to reset my GPS.

I got mine via chat. Tell them you don't have LTE. They will walk you through some troubleshooting and it includes giving you your MSL

Struck out again went through 3 diffrent people in chat all they did was ##72786# and reset the phone then said to call tech support. Worst luck trying to get this code

I too am interested in this! My previous phone was an S4 which I rooted and did the SQLLite mod to get the hotspot setup widget. But I don't want to root my S7E. What's the best way to get quick access to hotspot on a non-rooted S7E?

This is how I did it. Worked perfectly.
Sprint: We received your information and will connect you with a Chat Specialist soon.
Eric K.: Thank you for contacting Sprint. My name is Eric K.. I am happy to help you today.
You: Hello Eric I am having Data issues with my phone. Can I please get my MSL number?
Eric K.: I understand your concern.
Eric K.: I'm sorry for your inconvenience. I’ll help find a solution for you as quickly as possible.
Eric K.: Please give me a moment to access your account information.
Eric K.: May I please have your 6-10 digit numeric PIN to access your account?
You: I don't know it. THe answer to my secret question is ***** though
Eric K.: Thank you.
Eric K.: May I know what steps you will take you use this code?
You: Just going to use it to access the network settings and select a different APN. It has happened to me before and doing that has always resolved the issue
Eric K.: It is ******
The steps:
Go to Dialer and enter ##DATA# (##3282#)
Press "Edit" then enter your MSL.
Click on APN Settings
For both "APN2 EHRPD internet" and "APN2 LTE internet" change APN Type from "default,mms" to "default,mms,dun"
After you enter the change, hit Menu -> Save before going to the next APN.

Activating VoLTE after verizon CDMA shutdown?

Not sure how much help there is for such an old phone but I have a Note 5 (SM-N920V) that I use with Pageplus. I had check and been told by numerous reps and websites that the phone would be fine to use and handled VoLTE. When Verizon shut the towers a few days ago my text and calls went down too. I still have data but that's it. According to Pageplus, they are aware of the issue but have no ETA (keep getting told 24 hours and that was 5 days ago) According to other techs there's a firmware issue but I can't seem to figure out what is needed to fix this. It seems like the phone is capable of VoLTE but it isn't activated and there isn't anywhere to do so. I found someone who was flashing Note 8s with the same issue but they only handle 8 and up so I'm hoping maybe someone here can help. Thanks in advance!

In settings under network configuration.
While this phone supports 4G VoLTE it may not be whitelisted by Verizon. Their side needs to be configured to accept it.

Thank you for getting back to me. How would that be handled? I can't do anything on my end as nothing is there or greyed out. Pageplus tech support is useless and there's no way to get Verizon on the line when you don't have an account with them so I'm not sure how to proceed. I can't afford to replace the phone at this time which is why I'm trying to find a way to get this to work.
