Hello, I just recently got a G1 and I have Tmobile service. But when I put my sim into the phone it says I have 3G (The little 3G signal goes on top) but won't let me go on the internet or download anything from the market.
I checked the APN settings and they seem to be fine. Any help?
Btw, it's already rooted and runs Cyanogen Mod 6.0.0 DS
Bump! I'd like to get it done as soon as possible
do you have the android plan on tmobile?

Hey guys,
I have recently unlocked my g1 to put it on the at&t network and I got the API in and it doesn't allow voice to have the priority when I'm using data. Someone can call me and If I'm in the market or browsing with the phone it won't receive the call!
Is there a fix for this ?

Didnt you see the ATT Vs Verizon commercials?
ATT does data plus voice @ the same time on 3G
You cant get 3G w/ G1 on ATT
Verizon lacks this, might be flaw of CDMA not to sure

Thats why I said ''leave ATT''
Well,
Don't rape me with logic, it's not my phone anymore, I bought the Droid on verizons network and I sold my G1 to a friend and he unlocked it for At&t.
So there no is way to fix this ?
No. There is no way to fix it. The G1 is HARD CODED to use TMO's 3G data bands, which are not the same as ATT's. You cant change it, you cant fix it. Your friend wont be able to use data and voice as long as hes using a G1 on ATT. End of Story.
I bought nexus one from my friend.
I am currently using HD2 with 3g data.
When I plugged in my sim card to the n1, it only worked with edge.
So, I seared internet for some information and I found out something about "*#*#6436#*#*" and change the setting to WCDMA only. Then the phone got no signal at all, so I changed back to WCDMA preferred. Then I did ping test but it did not seem to work very well.
Then I played with some APN setting and I realized that I lost data connection completely (phone still working)
I have tried to reset the phone but no luck.
Can anyone please help me with the problem? I am using T-mobile.
Thank you.
Pull your battery, and look at the back of your phone. At the top of the dark area there are numbers, look at the PB or FCC ID numbers. If they end in 9110 then you have an AT&T version of the phone, and the hardware will not work with T-Mobile's 3G service...

are you in the USA? you need to list your location. it is likely that you purchased the wrong version of the nexus one. there is an ATT version and a tmobile version. each only works with the proper 3G. so an ATT n1 on tmobile only gets edge, and vice versa. check which version you own.
Just purchased a used Tmobile dell streak 7. It is stock and has been reset to all factory settings. The wifi works and everything looks to be ok. I got a tmobile sim card with a 2gig mobile broad band data plan. I know the sim is good and activiated because it works just fine in my buddy's stock tmobile g slate. When I insert it in the streak it recognizes the sim card and restarts but I cant use the interent via the sim. I went through the settings like the user manual says and turned off the wifi, I searched for networks and selected "Tmobile", then it says "registered on network" but no 4g/3g icon show up in the right corner. I just get the wireless bars with an x? I am new to tablets so maybe there is something that I am missing? I need to figure this out today because the guy I purchased it from gave me 24 hrs to try to get it working or I could just get my money back. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jared
anyone? Im running out of time here... I tried my at&t sim out of my iphone and it instantly wanted a "special code" which was expected. Could somebody have tried to enter a code too many times while using a tmobile sim card and somehow locked out the tmobile capability?

You need to call T-Mobile customer service, or go into a T-Mobile store, and have them activate the SIM card for the tablet. They have to be tied together.
EDIT: Activate it for THAT specific tablet.
is that true for all tmobile tablets because the sim works fine in a tmobile g slate and the card was not tied to that tablet in any way, but I will try

It just occurred to me that the wireless bars with an x over it could also means that someone has removed or renamed the phone.apk & telephony.apk. I don't have a t-mobile DS 7 so I cannot be certain of this, but you can check it out for yourself. Use a file manager program and go to the directory /system/app and look to see if phone.apk and telephony.apk has been renamed or removed. I have the DS7 wifi edition, and I removed these 2 app so that the DS7 does not drain the battery. My DS7 has the wireless bars with an x over it because I have removed those 2 app.
If ya need those files let me know and ill put em up..im stock t-mo rooted...
just got my streak and ill be around now

Hey, I'm in Australia (GSM) and I purchased a Motorola Droid 3 (XT862) from America a few months ago.
Should I have bought the XT860 (GSM version)?
I was with Optus but because they don't support the 850mhz network I switched to Vodafone because they had it. So now I atleast have data working on my phone after those months of not having it, but vodafone sucks, especially on this phone (text messages sometimes don't send/signal cuts out all the time) but the 3G is very good.
The phone I previously had before the Droid 3 was a HTC Tmobile G2 which I had also bought from America, and everything worked perfectly.
If I buy the XT860 will it fix everything?
On the Motorola website it says the XT862 and XT860 have the same networks... but the XT680 is supposed to be used on GSM, so would it work fine?
Sorry if I confused anyone, I'm really baked.
Thanks in advance for anyone trying to help
Maybe you could try the T-MOBILE AT&T hack?
Sent from my XT862 using XDA
i have XT 862, on GSM and it works perfectly. More than that, I use also vodafone
The xt860 (and xt883) would not be any better; all they (along with the xt862) support UTMS 850/1900/2100mHz. Thus, you probably didn't get a lot of 3G on the Optus network (which uses 900/2100mHz). The main Vodafone 3G network in Aus is 900/2100mHz, but they are in the process of rolling out an 850mHz network.
Telstra Next-G uses 850mHz (and they have 2100mHz as well, but only in cities I believe)
Anyway, in brief: If you're willing to switch to Telstra, you should get great results. If not, Vodafone is the next best option.
I have xt862 on optus in Austraia. I just stay in global mode. I did experiment around with some of the custom roms but found weirdnesses like my calls not coming thru. I went back to stock and now im going to stay on stock until cm9 reaches release. Im not having any issues on stock.
Hope this helps

Just did it, I suppose it improved the situation a tiny bit, but i'm not sure.
I will do some tests on the Telstra network, see if it's better than Vodafone.
Im using the phone in Global mode atm and I'm getting a decent 3-4 bars instead of the 1 or 2 i'd normally get which excites me
And the network type is displaying HSPA.
But I cannot send text messages, everytime, it just says "Text message not sent" which is very annoying. Anyone know anything about this? When I swapped over to Vodafone from Optus I could send texts but after a point it just stopped working...
Anyone know anything about this?
thanks
So does the droid 3 bought from usa connect to data services with optus at all?
How fast is data transfer in "global" mode?
late reply i know, but I'm on TPG [Optus network] in Qld, Aus with the droid 3 XT862.
from memory, all i've done is done the 'hack' to show actual reception, rather than 1 bar. I run the phone on the global setting.
I just ran a speedtest.net check, got an internode server in Sydney. ping 139ms, DL 5241kbps, UL 1202kbps.
OP, when you were with Optus, did you go through your account settings and make sure you had 3G data turned on for your phone, etc? I'm not trying to patronise or anything, but it always helps to start with the basics when fault finding.
Regards,
Hi All,
Im also in Australia, with Vodafone, and am looking at getting myself a Droid 3 as well.
Since the phones aren't released here, what happens about software updates? Im assuming they won't happen via OTA?
Im leaning towards the XT860, rather than the XT862, any particular reason to go for either?
Thanks,
cevad

No difference between them but the xt860 has more dedicated roms here. Both are the same phone and just build.prop edits are needed to get the phones up and running in 5 mins. OTA updates will still work anywhere tho if you root and mod your phone don't use use the OTA feature as you will screw your phone.
All you need to do select wcdma/gsm mode and manually put in your service provider APNs to get 3G. Find this on the Voda site.
Best place to find your APN is here:

I managed to get a xt862, but I cant get data working on optus? (live connected)
calls/text works - tried global mode, tried GSM/UMTS mode, tried manually selecting optus 3g network, made sure the data setting was enabled which is actually under "battery & data manager". Already manually input the optus apn.
what am I missing?
Do you have to do the tmobile at&t hack? running everything stock from factory; or will rooting the phone/install ics help?
I have the one bar reception bug which I read on another thread if that makes a difference.
nvm, got it to work, for some reason manually inputting an APN didnt work, had to find the optus site and send it via sms.
Speed isnt too bad.
The next problem now though is wireless hotspot. It connects but no data goes through for some reason

If the xt862 is the verizon version, I have read that verizon have blocked the hotspot stuff from working.
Hello everyone,
I have a T-mobile Z3 that is currently unlocked to work for my AT&T provider. I am able to make calls and send regular text messages with no problems. My problem is that I am only able to access the Internet via WiFi only and not 4G or even 3G. I am usually always around WiFi but for times when I am in need to use the mobile web, I am unable to. What are the proper settings for this? I understand that the T-mobile version does not share the same LTE band as AT&T so that's ok with me but 4G or 3G is ok with me. I have tried to APN settings provided by AT&T but it does not work. I am leaving on a trip in a few days and would like to have this working before I leave. I am sure someone out there has the answers I seek. I hope that I have posted this in the correct forum. If not, please feel free to move it as it might help me to get my question answered. Thanks again for your help everyone!
After doing more further research, I found the settings that work for my phone. I was just about to sell this phone and get a Note 4. Not anymore now that I got this to work. Thanks again everyone!

How did you get this to work? Help?
The phone was only on a temporary unlock and I am unable to use it for cellular service anymore but I went to this website to get all the settings to make it work for AT&T.

Hope this helps.
