Hi,
When I boot up tmobile with sim card of india it brings me to android image screen. If I choose menu nothings shows up. As I touch the android image it leads me into gmail setup wizard. When I choose MENU I see wireless settings as only option. I am not sure how I can get the usual settings menu option from home screen what people talk about in all their instructions/blogs/articles.

Miten.
You need to finish the registration cycle before you have access to the regular system menus.
I think in unmodified rom, the setting to skips registration/login of gmail is still not implemented, so you must login first and then get into the menu
Go through the gmail setup then everything will work.
MTNL carrier GPRS not working
Hi,
I have call plan from MTNL service provider (Dolphin plan). After putting my sim in since the phone does not let me proceed I am unable to make calls. I thought may be I need to do the gmail registration so I enabled GPRS with MTNL provider. The wireless settings MENU which I get I thought I can get it to set me up but I am unable to get GPRS working. Some APN setting I guess means Access Point Node I tried setting with what information MTNL provided me.
Apparently it is not working so I am unable to activate it.
You can search for "mtnl mumbai dolphin gprs" to get some details of what information MTNL provides for gprs.
You can see GPRS settings and at bottom on the page there are phone specific settings. There is none for HTC / Tmobile G1 so I choose manual common settings and tried to setup APN in G1.
So for now I dont have GPRS working. I don't get Wifi \ WLAN related option else I could have used it.
So I think I will have to use a carrier other than MTNL and activate the phone.
When I activate using a sim card from different carrier then when I try to use different sim card will it be fine ? is the gmail account linked to phone or to sim ?
You guys agree ?
Regards,
Miten.
u can just use any other simcard with data plan supported and then login to gmail. after that u can just change the simcard. As far as i know, the mail is bounded to the phone, not the sim.
I just talked to one of my friend who has Airtel sim card with data plan (GPRS). He said that GPRS was activated on his sim card by sms and he does not know what settings they are. When I use his sim in tmobile G1 (my phone) will it be all set or would I have to configure wireless settings ? I hope it auto detects and configures things else I will have to setup APN and hopefully its straight forward in working.
Regards,
works now
Hi,
I used my friends "idea" service provider card which has data plan. He used it on nexus one. I was able to complete gmail account setup. Now I put my card and then went in to register on network to get calling going. Without registering it would not let me do calls/sms. Yet gprs on my MTNL/dolphin service is not working.
Also the bluetooth H700c Motorola headset is not pairing with G1.
Regards,
t-mobile setup for MTNL
Hi,
MTNL dolphin automated process to activate GPRS/3G does not work for HTC dream/Tmobile G1. So needs to ask the customer care folks to manually instruct the exchange to activate it. Ask for expert / supervisor and talk to him to get it processed else you will not get any where.
Once you have your sim activated for GPRS/3G you are all set. You can use it to boot up android. If you cannot get it activated then arrange for one like I did and then you can move on.
The settings are all standard listed as common settings on their GPRS page. No need to setup server, mms etc. Enter only upto name, apn, proxy host, port, user/password.
So let me state that GPRS works fine with MTNL and HTC G1.

I unlocked my tilt to use on both tmobile and att. I tryed both sims today but I noticed that each time you swap it asks to do the automatic network settings and wipes out the other data settings from the other sim in connection manager.
Is there a way to have it keep both tmobiles and atts data settings AND use the right ones depending on which sim i use.
I also noticed that none of my pop emails work either as it just gives an error saying to check the connection settings (on both networks), sms,internet do work fine however. This is new territory for me running 2 carriers on one phone, anyone else have some tips/tricks?
Thanks
It says 'Your current operator (23420) is not supported, you should obtain an update from your device vender.
when i click to select another operator, my country does not appear in the country list...
I am in the UK and have a 3 SIM card, about 2 years old.
Ok well i can send sms and make calls fine...anyone know why it comes up with that error thou
It is trying to setup your MMS and WAP settings but if the provider it detected is not in the list it cant. I think under connection setup in settings you can go to the menu and disable auto configuration. Then you wont get that error anymore.
All it means is you will have to do a search on google and find the WAP settings for your provider and then manually configure them under connections. Thats only if you want to browse the web via your cell provider. If you are just using wifi it wont matter.
Hi everyone. I have been doing a tonne of reading trying to figure out a couple of things for my Treo 750.
It is a Rogers phone for which I paid an online service provider to unlock. I am using my FIDO SIM in it without any problems.
It says I am always roaming and although assurances from FIDO I won't be charged Roaming fees, it gets kind of annoying everytime I check my email that it tells me I am roaming and asks if I am sure I want to do this....
So, I understand there is carrier specific info in the carrier.pxp file. I am told the Rogers network code is in this file.
Am I able to edit this to include the FIDO network code 302370 so the phone doesn't think it is always roaming?
Would it be better to unbrand / unlock the phone to WM6.1 via the methods I see here in the forums? [dubLeE's method].
Thanks everyone,
Ryan
It has nothing to do with your phone. It's the fact you are using the Fido GSM card on a Rogers network. It has nothing to do with whether your phone is locked or unlocked, and changing the carrier code won't do anything.
To disable the roaming network check when you check email, from Outlook Mobile go to Tools -> Options, choose the email account you've setup, then go to Send/Receive Schedule -> Advanced Settings -> check "Use automatic send / receive schedule when roaming"
Hi number16. Thanks for the reply.
The "Use automatic send / receive schedule when roaming" doesn't seem to prevent the "You are currently roaming. Synchronizing may result in additional charges" dialog box when the schedule is set to manual. In fact, the checkbox is greyed out and not selectable with a manual schedule. Even with an automated schedule configured, you are still prompted when doing a manual send/receive.
I was thinking that if the phone was configured such that it thought its' home network carrier code was the FIDO code, it wouldn't consider me roaming.
Anyways, sounds like I am stuck with it. Thanks again for the info
I have the exact same problem with my work Exchange email on a Rogers Touch Diamond. The roaming has to be defined by the ROM or registry. When I put my Fido SIM in a Rogers Samsung Jack flashed with the Fido ROM, there is no issue with roaming.
Hi there,
Same issue here, I am using my unlocked Treo 750 from Rogers on Bell network.
It works fine, except for the roaming issue.
How to get rid of that triangle icon on the top?
Were you able to edit the carrierDB.pxp file?
Please help.
Did you change your network settings over to the correct settings for the network of the SIM card you are using?
Unlocking a phone will allow other SIM cards to work, but if you don't change your network settings, then the phone will still try to connect to the Rogers network.
How do i unlock the network, i have a samsung corby phone which is rogers based and am using a fido sim card. Everything works except the internet which comes up as network error. please let me know if you can help. email- [email protected], thank you.

This is a Palm Treo 750 forum. You should find a forum specific to your handset for exact instructions.
In general, your phone probably has a 'Settings' menu which would have some sort of option to edit your network settings. That's where you would make the change. You would have to get the proper settings from Fido.

If I have the APN set to the one for the network of the SIM Card I am using then will I not get charged roaming?
Is it possible for it to actually be roaming and me not knowing about it?

Is your pay as you go sim activated?
Can you borrow someone's working sim so you can verify/eliminate things?

good idea
My wife 3G sim works on my tab, going back to the shop as it is the sim car the problem, not the tab
thanks again
Glad it was that and not the precious tab.
Bad Karma
I have finally a Data only 3G simcard, it works on a phone and on a demo galaxy tab in orange shop
but can't get it to work on my tab
can still get internet with the voice and 3G of my wife!!
do I need to flash an orange image ???
No, you need to change a setting.
Google "apn setting orange france broadband"
Go to settings, wireless networks, mobile networks, access point names,
You will have to add the settings you got from google: menu, add new access point.
Fill in the values. Menu, save, reboot.
When the tab starts, go to that apn and select it. Wait a few, then go back one screen, and select your sim card carrier.
You could also go to the demo tab and copy the settings into your tab, or from your wifes phone.
Found out that
IF the wifi is ON then the 3G is OFF
IF the wifi is OFF then the 3G is ON
so working now, end of game
Oops. Good find. Enjoy.
hi
i got the phone from korea, the problem is when connecting to 4G the phone would lose internet and calls then lose the network, i get a message saying "failed to register to network (15)" but if i forced the phone to connect to 3G then it works fine. here's what i tried to fix the problem :
turning off the mobile network then turning it on
resetting the network settings
removing NR Whitelist
and none of them fixed the issue. there's a korean menu in the service mode, but i didn't miss with it. i have attached screen shots of the software information and the korean menu in the service menu.
Who provides your service? Have you tried going into network settings and APN and see what that says
If it is a Korean phone and you aren't in Korea and it is locked into the network then you won't be able to get service somewhere else I don't think
