I've been having network and GPS issues on my N1 recently in the CT area. I just wanted to see if anyone else has been looking at this as well, or if its just me? Thanks!
gps should work without service
I will try when i leave work. I am in the hartford area
No issue for tmo Danbury/New haven. GPS should be the same on AT&T and TMo. Maybe u need to clear the maps cache? Or perhaps its the overcast sky causing issue.

Hi,
I've seen several posts about this issue, that all seem to end in limbo. My At&T Tilt initially worked great. I got it on 12/18 and it worked seamlessly from edge to 3G/HSDPA and gave excellent results.
I upgraded to Dutty's rom v6 and it continued to work just fine. I ran bandwidth tests and made voice calls in and out of 3G areas(I don't have 3G at my home area) with the Dutty rom no problems.
Then last week, while traveliing to a friends the phone stopped working for both voice and data. Long story short(see my other post) I had to install a comm manager that allows to disable 3G for the phone to work at all..which it does when forced to edge only. I cannot under any circumstance get 3G to work again, not even voice calling.
At&T says to return the phone or call the mfg. Has anyone who experienced this gotten it resolved? I really don't think it is the rom and suspect there are major network changes going on but don't know.
thanks

may have solved my own problem.
I entered the sim unlock code per the instructions on my att wireless account. It seems to have fixed it, the roaming triangle immediately dissappeared and 3g works when I enter an area with it active. Try it out anyone who is affected and see.

nope dwon again..sorry for the crosspost...no help folks?
Well skratch the idea of the sim unlock fixing it. It worked for a while...it a different 3G area(Worcester MA) but near Boston it still would not access the 3G network. Just guessing in the dark, maybe some sort of network update thats causes this is happening and some areas arent' affected yet. I may return the phone.

anyone have any input???
Hello all.
I am such a beginner at this... please help.
I have a Tilt that I successfully unlocked - I think - and then flashed it with Duttys_WM6.1_ Official_5.2.19209 (Thank you . Everything is working, WI-FI, GPS if I am in the AT&T area (Detroit), I also tried it with a T-Mobile SIM and it works. I bought a "pay as you go" SIM and I activated it and again, it works
My problem: I live in Windsor Ontario and my SIM has a Detroit Michigan #. If I am close to the border - say 5-6 km - the phone works. Beyond that it has no signal. Isn't this supposed to be roaming or something? Is it the pay as you go? Or is it the phone itself, ROM or something else? When the SIM was not activated it was also saying "no service" even in Detroit but I assume that was normal.
When I do not get signal, the QuickGPS and the GPS Test does not get anything even if WIFI is active and internet is working. Is this normal also?
Thank you, Adrian
GPS is not dependent on cellular technology, it is only dependent on GPS satellites that transmit signals all over the world, regardless of your wireless provider, or whether you have WIFI or not.
Thanks. On the QuickGPS page it mentions GPRS, that is why I assumed it needs service to work. I hope I will understand how to program this better in time. All I know is if I can use the phone i.e. I have phone service then everything works, GPS included. If not, not.
Also, please guys, if you have any idea about the first part of my questions... Thanks
Pay as you go SIM normally have a reduced coverage area compared to their pre-paid counterparts. Also if its a US pay as you go SIM there is a good possibility it won't work internationally from what I've seen of them in the past.
I have had my Tilt (8925) since May, and now it won't connect over the GPRS network any longer. It still works on EDGE and HSDPA, though. Problem is, GPRS is still very prevalent in the areas I frequent, so I am screwed much of the time for nework access.
Anyone else ever had this happen? How do you explain it to the geniuses at ATT's customer service?
Inquiring minds want to know.
have you had all the info reset for att?
Yes, and she was able to watch my phone come and go from the network as it switched from H to G and back again.
well, take it to a totally different location, if that doesn't solve the problem then hard reset the phone. If no go there, then replace it.
Does anyone else have this problem? I can never get iheartradio or the new siriusxm app to work on tmo 3g. It never connects even when I clearly have full 3g signal and am getting around 1mbps with speedtest. If I am on wifi works no problem but being on wifi doesnt help me when I'm in the car. It is a tmo problem or an area issue? I am in the tampa, florida area.
Just wondering if anyone else that lives on oahu is not able to get internet because me and my roommate are having this issue.
