OK, I am hoping some one can help me with this issue i having pertaining to the tmobile security page that pops up while attempting to assess the internet on my gsm gt-p1000. However, it only happens while on data network, when im on wifi it doesn't pop up. I know theres a way to do it through root explorer but thats where i get stuck. Theres so many things in there that i dont want to touch cause i dont want to turn my tablet into an expensive paper weight. Pleaseeeee can some one turn into mighty mouse and save the day... Lol thanks in advance. [email protected] is my email address.... One love, one life....
Log in to your tmobile account and disable it, there is an option in there somewhere for it.
You will have to root your tab and delete some system files. It's a banned process here at xda forums, but if you Google 'T-Mobile redirect' you will find instructions.
If you don't have the experience to do that, put the sim card back in your cellphone and just use a wifi tether setup. This problem comes from using a phone simcard in a tablet.
At R. C., thanks for your reply, I had someone run me through the process in the past. This is how I knew it has to do with root explorer and my GT p1000
is rooted, I also am almost sure it has to do with deleting files from the EFS ,I'M not sure those. This is why I'm asking cause I don't want to ruin my tab. If you know how it's do would it be possible for you to Email me the run down or call me direcrt, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks you VERY MUCHHHHH either way. Just let me know and I'll send you my direct number..

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...

so you were trying to pay less than everyone else for the same service and got caught with your hand in the cookie jar. and you're pissed? quit whining and just pony up the extra 5 bucks.
opera browser still works tho. Has to have socket connection settings. Anybody find a work around or maybe we can ask the developers to help?

Hi all,
I have just bought a Galaxy S on eBay, and it's locked to Three (in the UK btw). Whilst I wait for the unlock code (I'm on an O2 sim only contract), I thought I'd ask people for their advice on whether I should stick to the Three ROM, or should I root it and put a base Samsung ROM on it?
Also - what does this mean for me in terms of upgrades (thinking Froyo obviously). Do I need to get a Three specifics upgrade, and how do I get that if I'm not a Three customer?
I have searched the forum, and read lots of discussions of ROMs, but was hoping for some advice for my situation from any of the hugely experienced peeps on here.
Cheers,
James.
start with the wiki
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series
it has everything you need to know, including the unlock code
the best advice is to not go crazy on the ROMs unless you want to fix something in specific
Thanks for that. I read that unlock stuff, but unfortunately as I don't have a Three SIM, I can't get onto the market to download the necessary stuff.
I do think it's a bit strange you can't sign into your google account etc over wifi, but figure that's partly how they keep the phone locked to a provider.
James.
that doesn't sounds right
i always unlock and download the rooting stuff over WiFi
i don't even need to use the phone as a mass storage device, because WiFi works right off the bat
what happens when you try to go on the internet using WiFi?
are you able to go to Cnn.com or google.com login to your gmail account in the phone browser?
Hi Allgamer,
thanks for your reply - sorry I've not responded till now!
I could connect to the internet, but not sign into my google account. Don't know what the problem was, but I got round it by performing a factory reset of the phone.
All sorted now.
I do still have an issue with some 3 apps like Skype starting themselves up and consuming resources, despite the fact I can't use them over the O2 network
Loving the phone otherwise though. I've rooted it and installed the OneClickLagFix. Waiting eagerly for Froyo though.
tried to root and then was trying to get heimel to connect..it did not notice it.
gave up and just turned it off and on..now i have no 3g connectivity.
i found a factory restore in these great forums and unstalled succesfully but still no 3g. doesnt even give me the icon just the bars. i am at home and have 5 bars but still no 3g?
anyone have any clues please. trying hard not to have to call sprint tech support.
think i found it
my username got changed somehow..now i just need to get my MSL. the guy who activated it didnt give it to me DOH. i always give it to my sprint customers when i activate their phones...yep i am a moron!
been awhile since this happened...seems sprint changed again...used to get a message in browser when suspended but nooooooo...they just wait for you to call advanced tech b4 they let you know they shut u off even though you have 17 days left....my sincerest apologies for wasting board space on this 1 gentleman LOL.
note to self.....pay sprint early now even though u never had to b4.
You probably broke your modem. Look in the development section for the modem file. From now on be sure you restore using the no modem file, that way you wont break it. I learned the hard way. If you can get into download mode there's a file to fully restore your device to EA24.

Tnx shoman. I did the full factory restore. I read alot and knew not to mess with the modem files.
Turned out to be a billing issue not my tab

Hi,
I accidently lost my phone yesterday, and I'm wondering if there is any way to track the phone? Is there any like main security function installed chip or something which is always enabled and a way to track it?
I didn't even bother install any application incased I lost my phone before, but it's to late to regret that now.
Hope someone could please help me out!
Thanks!
Only if you'd first set up built in tracking security in settings and checked box to turn on. Otherwise someone has just scored a nice phone sorry

IF nobody found your phone YET, and your gps in on and IF you have a friend in latitude, and you gave him permisions to see your location, then you could use his phone to track yours.
But those are ALOT of IFs
Ah ****... I never turn on the GPS, because it does use data traffic, and used to ruin my battery life on the phone. So in this case, the guy who found my phone got a scored, huh?
****....

i don't think so...
I think that u need to call Ur network, & report it to them. basically they can track ur imei via towers, so lets hope that the adviser would be a helpful person. All the best

How am I supposed to give them the IMEI number? If I remember correctly, the IMEI number are actually located on the phone itself.

Your network will have it.

If you have access to your phone via market.android.com you could install to your phone an app which recieves silently sms-es and sends you needed data in return. Assuming of course that the sim is not changed. Can't remember the name of the app though :/
Trying to googling for the app now. This sounds very good stuff. Hopefully the guy didn't take of my sim card.
If there is any other solutions. I'm more happy to and willing to hear your help!
IMEI number is on the box if you still have it...
Never tried this but maybe it will work for you:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lookout.labs.planb&feature=search_result
Tried to using the Plan B, but I haven't recieved any mails regarding where my phone is lost.
I still got my Phone box! I will check it out later!

Cool concept.... I just tried it out for the hell of it... and it didn't work for me either....Even after sending a text message 'locate' it didn't work.
the IMEI number is always written in the contract papers from your provider.
With this number the provider will be able to find the phone. the IMEI will be marked as stolen and if the "finder" tries to sell it or whatsoever, the phone will be returned. i hope you have an insurance buddy!
Might come in a bit late but might help others:
- learn from this and install something to track before you lose it. If you want something more thief-proof I recommend Theft Aware. They even have a 70% off promo currently running.
If it's just about tracking, any app should be okay (but personally I prefer one I can control by SMS).
- as far as I can tell and have read, GPS does not consume any bandwidth/data/energy if you simply turn on the option alone. I always have my GPS turned on but it's not used until I start some app that makes use of GPS. It doesn't seem to drain any additional energy if idle.
ok so i got a galaxy tab from this guy on craigs list its been rooted and has the uk software with the phone app (model#gt-p1000) firmware 2.3.3, kernel version(2.6.35.7 [email protected]#2) build # gingerbread xxjq1) ok so anyway i put in my tmobile sim card from my android cliq and i can sen text messages im registered on the network getting 3g and the h network but no web and no calls???? help please

It's hard to say without knowing exactly what he did to it.
computers are complicated and a tablet is basicly a computer with a phone in it. he could have messed up a modual and decided to get out from under it. because once you start rooting and putting whatever you want on it, it's basicly yours and your warrenty is over. best way is to restore it back to the factory version and start over from there. this way you can tell if it's a software problem or hardware. it's just like building and modding your own computer.
