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.

Correct! But the market does indeed work on wifi.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
So a friend of mine bought a CDMA hero off craigslist and when he called to have it activated they told him they cannot because the previous owner has not paid his bill and had his account suspended. They told him that there is nothing they can do until he pays his bill. I told him ill look into ways to get it to work since the guy wont allow a return.
Is there anyway that I can manual program the phone to work?
Um. I think hes out of luck....the only thing i see you going to be able to do is a ESN change, Which is ILLEGAL and not one one person on XDA-developers forum is going to tell you how, and if you do find out how, your on you own...
He could olso flash the phone to cricket wireless and use it on their network, but thats if you have cricket service local to you,
*cough*cdma*cough*toolbox*cough*
... sorry... had something tickling my throat.
I stand corrected..
Here's the solution I'm working on for those who may run into a simular problem.
Sucessfully, i used QPST and QXDM in ways i cannot discuss on these forums and was able to get calls and texts working..
Currently im focusing on getting the Data plan to work correctly.
Any feedback in setting up data in ##3282# would be appreciated.
thanks.
I have been having the issue where Google talk looses connection to the server repeatedly. I have to go back to the main gtalk screen to get it log back. I had this problem on Cog 4.5.3 and continuing on CM7, which I flashed today (nightly 181). This seems to be the only issue. I have search around the forum and the interwebz and have yet to find any actual solution to this problem. Any help from the XDA crew would be greatly appreciated!
I am using an Atrix 4g, CherryPi build, and this same problem recently started for me over this past weekend. Before that, it was working fine, but for some reason, it now loses connection to gtalk everytime I back out of the app. Hopefully someone can find a solution.
I'm having this issue since Friday December 2nd.
Everything works fine over Wi-Fi but when I'm connected to AT&T 3G network the Google Services keep loosing connection and then reconnect.
It is not only Google Talk, it is all Google Services including Google Voice and GMail - now I get my messages late and sometimes I have to manually refresh to get new messages.
It is happening on my phone that runs CM7.1 and my wife's phone that runs CM6 and never been updated since December last year.
No settings were changed on either phone but both of them started having this problem last Friday.
I spend half an hour on the phone with AT&T technical support but they were useless and just said they have opened a case and will investigate.
Moreover, sometimes Gmail over IMAP was not available ("cannot connect to server") and Chase bank app could not connect to Chase server either
The problem still exists today for the 4th day.
Again, everything works 100% perfect over my home wi-fi connection, so there is clearly no phone or ROM problem.
Are you guys all on AT&T network or are you with other carriers and countries?
I am going to an AT&T store today to test a phone on display.
BTW, my phone is Samsung Captivate (Galaxy S), rooted, running CM7.1
I personally believe that AT&T is having problem with their APN.
My brother has SGSII and he is using a different APN that is only available to customers that have newer "4G" (HSDPA+) phones.
When he switched to "wap.cingular" he had the same issue in GTalk.
But he has no problem with Google Services using AT&T's new APN:
APN: phone
instead of "wap.cingular"
But this is only available to HSDPA+ customers. I cannot switch to this APN.
I'm with you guys. I noticed today that I would lose my data connection when using many different Google services. Talk, GMail, and YouTube all cause my to lose my data connection (bars go grey from the normal blue, meaning I can make calls and do SMS, but I have no data connection).
Google Talk:
As long as I am on the main screen, I am connected and can see who is online and offline. As soon as I click on a person's name, I start to lose my connection. Occasionally I can get a message out before I lose my data connection, most of the time I can't.
GMail:
Messages come in on a LONG delay over mobile data, and when I am in the GMail application, I lose my data connection.
YouTube: The app loads, I can search for videos, I can even choose videos, but they will never load. I lose my data connection until I back out of Youtube.
All of this works just fine over Wifi.
Anyone have any additional information for us? When I noticed the problem, nothing had changed on my phone for weeks (I'm running Atrix CM7 nightly 20, which was released back before Thanksgiving). Tonight I did a full wipe in fastboot and reinstalled everything from scratch, and I have the same problem.
DK
P.S. I am on AT&T in Massachusetts.
Here is what I did as a temporary workaround.
I gave AT&T my brother's SGS II IMEI and told them that this is my new phone.
After the new IMEI was posted to my profile the data plan code has changed from SMT2GB to HSSMT2GBH
This way I have gained access to AT&T's new gateway (APN: phone).
With this gateway I have a stable connection to Google Services and the GTalk works perfectly, no jumping in and out.
The only problem is that I tried so many options but I could not setup the access point for MMS.
I don't usually use MMS anyway, so no big deal to me.
I consider it as a temporary workaround, hoping that AT&T is going to fix their wap.cingular anytime soon. It's been 4 days so far. And every technical support rep I spoke to says that he/she never heard about this problem before and this was their first time ...

Full wipe (or clear data, clear cash, etc.) won't help here, this is clearly AT&T's problem. But I was about to do the same before I found out that my wife's phone acts exactly the same way. This saved me from setting up my phone from scratch
P.S. I have visited an AT&T Retail Location today and tested a few 3G phones they have on display - same problem detected.
(Woodbridge, New Jersey)
OK, guys. The problem is gone this morning.
I have a stable connection to all Google Services through "wap.cingular" APN.
Congradulations AT&T, it took 4 days to fix the problem ...

Ha, if I had found this thread yesterday it would have saved me several ROM installs. Oops
AT&T
Just a little update, if anyone would read this thread.
In February-March AT&T had the same problem with wap.cingular again and other APN had no problem.
Googel used to sing in and out all the time and quite a few websites were not loading at all giving me a message "page cannot be found"
Speaking to an AT&T rep was useless as always.
The first guy told me AT&T cannot guarantee 100% access to the internet at all times and there is nothing they could do about it.
Second guy called me a few times, he even tested a phone (or at least he said so) and did not find any problem. Then he called me back again and wanted me to do a factory reset. I told him I'm not doing it, peroid. My wife's phone does the same this and so does my old LG Incite with STOCK windows 6.1. I also told him that I'm not using their AT&T stock bloatware, since I told him that he started to push to the point that my problem was with unsupported OS and this was not AT&T's problem. I told him that I pay AT&T for SERVICE and not for the phone support and repeated that the other two devices have the same problem. I told him I'm not an average lamer-user, therefore he can't give me all that BS. He had nothing to reply but only promise to call me back WHICH NEVER HAPPEND.
Yes, he never called me back.
But next day the problem was gone. Maybe they found the problem and he was embarassed to call me back? Maybe the problem was gone by itself like it started. I don't know.
But it's all OK now since then.
Last week I flashed ICS 4.0.4 and now the phone is even faster and only better!

I saw the other thread about this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gen...-play-store-df-dferh-01-t3055501/post59605557) but it's closed now and it's an ongoing issue for me.
I can clear data for the Play Store app and then things work for a while, then after a couple hours (or less) the Play Store quits working with this error.
I'm using an HTC One M7 on Ting (Sprint MVNO).

Hi there,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
I've got the same problem. I called Google yesterday and they said it was a known issue, but couldn't give me an eta on a fix. It doesn't seem to be a device or carrier issue as I was able to connect on the same phone with a different Google account.
I've been having this same issue for weeks. I thought it may have had something to do with running an old rom. I no longer think that is the case.
I think I have finally fixed it by using ##72786# in the dialer and hitting menu, reset.
Since doing that, it seems to be working. I saw a comment somewhere about accounts for paying for apps, and thought that just maybe it was breaking from the ability to put the charges on your bill from some providers, Ting is not one of those. So *fingers crossed* that will fix it for good.
Edit: While hopeful, and it worked for longer then the standard answer of deleting the data for play store, it stopped working again shortly after posting.
