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...

Did you flash a Sprint Hero over to Metro?
I had Metro till I got my Hero..
I know that if you flash a phone to work on Metro, there may be some features you will not be able to use.
i had sprint but moved to metro cuz i got a employe discount. i only pay 25$ a month for the 50$ plan. but yea its flashed over to metro and i need to know how to get metro wap settings on the phone
this may not end well for you...

sorry buddy....but you're **** out of luck..
Metro and Hero are not made for each other...i suggest you go get a plan with Sprint if you want those features on your phone to work..
I read a post on how to get it on win mo phones and I tried it on my phone and I got data for like 30 secs and then it just disappears. but I know an other dealer who said he can get web on it for me. but mms on is available for the Eris right now
Anycut
Use ANYCUT app download it and shortcut proxys to the desktop.
use wap.metropcs.net
port: 3128
this gets the browser working
but havn't figured mms yet
check howardforums.com, they have a lot of info on getting stuff to work on metro that is not supposed to.
I got my Hero on Metro with the browser working with anycut....and half of MMS working I can receive pic mess but can't send?
I need apps dude, the market I can't figure out. I'm being told that I need to use adb shell?
Any help with full access would much appreciated!

You need the Market at all times? Can't you just turn on wifi and get whatever apps you need loaded up? There may be times it is less than convenient, but I don't see how having 24/7 market availability is totally necessary.
I assume you got the browser going because Metro has web access, but the reason Market won't work is because you don't have a full data plan with Metro??? Do providers like Metro or Cricket even offer full data on any phones?
Anyone think we can get the Hero working on the new Beyond Talk plans that are coming out from Virgin Mobile on the 12th? Unlimited data and text on the sprint 3g network with 300 voice minutes for $25 a month. Best non blackberry phone they will have though is the LG Rumor Touch. If we could get the Hero to work I might have to do it just to try it out.
Full internet has beend done with Market working 24/7 it's not a free fix though!
Anyone what help out?
Huh? What exactly are you asking?

How to force 3rd party apps and market to use wap.metropcs.net?
Everything else works but no Android Market and no Apps? I would like to use the GPS, Navigation and a few other apps?
Thanks for the help!
AFAIK - No one running a Hero off of another carrier has access to those over EVDO WiFi is probably your only solution for Apps/Market.
Metro can't be that much cheaper to go through all this work.
PLease Help Metro settings
Well it seems that this string ended badly for those looking for metro settings for a hero. However, i paid 60 bucks to get mine rooted and setup on metro (also got first month free). The problem is, that when i got home the internet stopped working including maps and apps, which i attributed to bad reception. SAdly enuff, it never worked again, now its just a touch that can make calls and text as MMS crapped out shortly after. If anyone has an apn backup they can share i would even be willing to pay again as long as it's working. Did i get duped or did metro chage their settings that quickly? Please any help would be greatly appreciated. Also i am having trouble getting my spc code, if it's not 000000 then what is it?
Try hexscrews rom it has the apn settings you need. Also I;m 99% sure that you can't get the market to work until metro gets a android phone of it's own. You could try apks like market enabler to fake like your on tmobile or sprint.

Hey Guys,
I'm really liking my first Android phone, but am having a heck of time working out the kinks. Phone calls and text work. Here's a list and if anyone can help out with any of them, I'd really appreciate it.
1. The phone constantly tries to do Sprint Auto-Activation. I *believe* this is causing the GUI to crash constantly...I've tried three ROMs and none run very stable. Is there a way to disable that pesky auto-activate?
2. I need data settings for Virgin or Boost. Coming from an iPhone, I don't see a setting for an APN anywhere. I think I have the settings, but I'm not sure I'm putting them in the right place.
3. Is there a special ROM I should install since I'm not on Sprint? I'm surprised there aren't more Verizon ROMs around.
Please help with any suggestions.
Realized this should probably be in the "General" instead....

So your on virginmobile but with a cdma hero? Awesome to get to the apn settings just hold the green call button down till you get the voice dial or just do it from your menu. When it comes up say, "open apns". It will take you to the apns. Are you rooted? Also to get the phone to stop doing that pesky
Thanks for the help. I'm working on the APN stuff now. I think your last post got cut short. I'd really like to know how to disable to auto-activate crap. I'm also getting invalid username/password, but I'm sure thats just becuase its trying to log into Sprint.
So u can use sprint phones on virgin mobile? please how do u do this..that 25 buck plan looks to good to pass up.. How would i say use my hero on virgin mobile..
I'm only able to place calls and text. NO DATA which is driving me nuts. I need the APN/Data settings for VM, but no one seems to have them.
And my phone keeps trying to do Sprint auto-activation, which is also driving me nuts. And I keep getting GUI crashes no matter which ROM I use. So far the process has been anything but smooth.
Does anyone have ideas on disabling Sprint auto-activation? Thanks!

I knows this isn't much help but do a search for cricket. I saw a way earlier just gotta find it cuz i'm not doing anything i'll look to ..... try this enter ##data# then hit edit enter your msl then turn off vocoder. Also hit menu then commit changes
I'm pretty sure I seen an APK in the phone somewhere that was related to the over the air activation stuff... might wanna look for it.
I could be wrong, that may be for the Moment, but that's Android on Sprint too so I dont see why the Sprint Hero would be different.
I too am really interested in putting my Hero on Virgin Mobile US. Has anyone figured out the data settings for wap/apn and whatever else is needed? If not, if one were to purchase a cheap virgin phone, say a jax, could the information be taken from there?
Also, would it be necessary to use a non-sprint ROM since virgin mobile runs on the Sprint network???? Thanks for any help.
Ok, I tried the BitterSweet and the nags went away and everything is running smooth on my Hero...I'm really liking it. Just no DATA. I'm still waiting on settings from someone. I tried VM tech support and they didn't even know what an APN was...seriously.
Yes, you can buy a cheap $10 Virgin Mobile phone and use those "settings" for the Hero. That's all I'll say about that.

Lol, not asking about that one setting. I already knew that part, I mean if someone were to buy a cheap phone would they be able to get all the settings, apn/wap and so on from it. If so, which phone, and what else would be needed?

can program your apns in by holding down the green call button and saying "open apns" also try pushing ##data# and you'll get a menu with data and mms stuff. Another note I've been doing some research to avoid the overpriced $75 dollars to get the phone flashed to metropcs and (two things) one they say they've rooted the hero. Two they say that for a normal flash all they do is change the prl.
I've accessed the ##DATA# and APN menus, but I have no idea what to change them to. I've also looked into PRLs but I can't seem to find one for Virgin. I know they just use the Sprint network so wouldn't the PRL be the same?
If anyone is really interested in using the Hero on Virgin, Boost, or Cricket PM me. I searched the internet for hours finding all the info and I don't mind helping someone else out. The more people we get working on this, the more likely we are to figure these settings out.

**** I'm trying to get it to work on metro. My main thing right now is to stop it from doing the hands free activation. I know we have slightly separate goals but that is something we could work on together. What you really need is for the op of this thread to send you his prl.
I got rid of the Sprint Auto-Activation by installing BitterSweets ROM. It's working great so far.

Just realized you were the op can you upload your prl for others? A full nandroid would be awesome
The PRL I'm using is the standard one that comes with the Hero. I haven't changed it. I can upload it, but it should be one everyone has by default on Sprint. I forget the version...

okay if it's 60665 or 60664 don't worry about it thanks though
So I've done plenty of searching, enough so that I was able to unlock my phone without the data working, rooted my phone, flashed and modded it, successfully running newest Biffmod.
That being said, i'm 100000% sure I have a working data plan, my plan is unlimited everything.
Works fine in any of my other phones, Dash 3G, HTC HD2, Unlocked Samsung blackjack i607.. The difference, those are all windows mobile phones?
But the HTC HD2 Dual boots android 2.2 froyo and data works there.
Yup, same sim I'm talking about, same plan, just different phones.
Any Idea why my data plan is not working with the G1? Am I doing something wrong? It worked when i FIRST got this phone (ordered it off ebay not that long ago to play with).. After factory reset/wipe before modding is when it all went sour.
Was stuck on log in screen so I had to do the work around to get into the phone, obviously not with Biffmod I can skip.. But I cant use market place, check e-mail, ANYTHING data related. Yet my Icon says 4 bars, 3G and I even see the "up" and "down" data xfer arrows giving me activity.
It's as if it's "there" just not working.
Any help would be great appreciated, I plan to go to T-mobile and hopefully one of the people there will actually have some tech savvy.. Wishful thinking.
Long story short, I just want my data to work. Please, and thank you.
Do a search on here for the correct APN setings for your provider.
edit: here's the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475564
Read the thread, it's for ATT users trying to use a T-Mobile phone.
The issue is that I actually have T-mobile.
I'm fairly sure I saw the apn settings for t-mo in there too. That's probably what you should be checking first.
Sent from my G1 using XDA App
Just google Tmobile's US apn settings or grab them from another of your devices, then it will work.
Perfect, I'll give that a shot when I get home from work today, thanks for all the help so far.
Hey Guys,
I had a problem with Data on Straight Talk. On native AT&T coverage everything works great, but when I am on roaming (Not on AT&T but a partner network) I get calls and text but no data. Other people on AT&T get Data and my same Sim in a Captivate (CM 10.1) gets me data. So something is up with the phone, blocking roaming for AT&T. Any ideas. I have tried every kind of various APN to no avail. Looked at some other stuff like Roaming_Table_PLMN_Blacklist (In com.motorola.android.provider.settings) and other stuff try to figure this out. Has anybody else had something like this happen. I also tried unlocking. I haven't done any of the ROMS, for fear of bricking. Maybe some international person has had a similar issue, I don't know. Can't seem to find anything with search.
4.1.1 Rooted + Maxx Battery
Straight Talk AT&T Sim
Thanks in advance.
I use my AHD on ST also, but never roam. I know they don't want you roaming at all, and they disconnect peoples service over it. If you're getting talk/text while roaming I would be happy with that.
In reality,i dont think you can roam on ST,at least i never could when i was with them a couple weeks ago,this happens to me on tmobile prepaid ,i can connect to att towers and make calls and text but cant get data,weird stuff

Not the Question
I know I can access data with ST SIM with my other phone, (Captivate CM 10.1) but not this phone (Atrix HD). Why? That is my question. Something on vanilla Mot AT&T devices is blocking me from getting Roaming Data. Straight talk DOES provide the service with many other users verifying we are on the AT&T postpaid network (Including all roaming partners for voice text & data). If I didn't have another phone that worked maybe I wouldn't care too.
Would ROMs help maybe, because that is about the only thing I haven't tried. If they are close to AOSP then maybe that is the solution. I'm just scared of bricking so I must have a detailed and verified procedure. I don't have SS3 installed yet. I may try this and report back, becuase I think Captivate Stock has the same problem.
I guess AT&T put something in that conflicts with the MVNO and nobody knows how to get around it. I'm hoping somebody does though, that's why I asked, because I don't know, and am out of ideas.
I'll report back once I try this, I guess AT&T put something in that conflicts with the MVNO and nobody knows how to get around it. I'm hoping somebody does though, that's why I asked, because I don't know, and am out of ideas.
I'll report back once I try this, I will figure it out (I hope). There has to be a solution.
