I am having this same issue. I have spammed the connect button and gotten it to work, but that's all. I don't know if disabling the tethering guard would work or not, but that would require root. I just got the phone yesterday, so I haven't had a chance to root it yet.

ok just got off the phone, 70 min later, and she told me that they submited a case order that will "put their top scientists on it". (my words not theirs lol)
i will be contacted within 48 hours with an update, she said.

When you do the three finger swipe or click on the notification, it will take you to the media output menu, I have gotten it to connect by clicking clicking on the panel that says media link device. Normally, when it tries to connect, I get the message that says I need to contact AT&T to allow mobile hotspots, but sometimes after I click cancel and immediately try to reconnect, I am able to bypass the message and it connects. This is rare, so no, I would not say that it is working. I tried configuring the media link with my mobile data turned off, but for some reason, it appears like it is required.

ya I've gotten it to connect and stay connected by turning off wifi and mobile then toggling wifi back on then quickly trying to connect... but cant connect to internet without the hotspot popping up and killing it.

yes stock... 1.26.502.10... media link > 5.19.103.1
Phil over at AC says his works fine but his firmware on the media link is 5.19.102.1

Off topic but i hope you at least grabbed your unlock token just in case they block the ONE...

Any new news on this? I had the Media link since Day 1 and it's used primarily as paper weight... Folks should start receiving their back ordered media link and will be suprised that it does not work.. I hope a work around is around the corner

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...

'Calls are not currently being connected to this number'

So I have a T Mobile G1, and I put my sim card in which is on contract with T Mobile and it won't phone or text and says 'calls are not currently being connected to this number' when someone tries to phone me. When I put it in my old phone it works perfectly. Any reasons for this?

[Q] 4.3 - Can anyone uncheck the voice and data roam guards?

It appears to be a new feature (based on a search the Galaxy S 4 from Sprint is having the same problem) that you can not disable the data and voice roam guards. They are checked and greyed out.
Can anyone on 4.3 uncheck these and if so what ROM are you on?
I can check/uncheck all, running ElipticOne 4.3 v2

Strange I am on BadBoy and it is greyed out... Galaxy S 4 users are having the same problem.
I was able to disable them before my phone provisioned... looks like that may be where it is locking it.
I can't use any previous backups (which kinda sucks) but atleast I got them turned off.

I am sitting 100% stock (un-rooted for now), and I can remove the roaming guards, you may want to check with others using the same ROM as you.
I am also able to toggle them off and on, completely stock and unrooted. I read somewhere if you toggle data mode to CDMA only you can change them, then change it back to CDMA/LTE and they stick. Might wanna give that a try.
I'm on SwG 2.02 and can also check/uncheck all roaming guards.
Perhaps there is an incorrect build.prop edit.
I'm on BadBoy and I can check/uncheck it.

As of 4.3 I can't uncheck them. No one in my house can, all 3 of us are on HTC Ones that have been updated to 4.3 completely stock.
Switching to CDMA Only did not change it, still grayed out.

I think it is a problem with having old settings on the phone... If I use the HTC restore then I lose the ability to uncheck them, when I do a clean flash without the restore I have no problem unchecking them.
Try a clean wipe (and don't use any restore programs like HTC) and see if you can uncheck them

If I have to choose between installing and re-configuring all my apps again, or having the irritating data roaming message... I'll probably just deal with the message. I don't have time to re-do my phone all over again :/

If you have bluetooth integration in your vehicle, it is more than just an "irritating" message. It actually prevents you from using your car's bluetooth to dial your phone in roaming (the call will always fail unless you manually select the dismiss on the roam notification from the phone). This is more than just irritating. Also will prevent you from streaming music during trips (atleast when you pop in and out of roaming locations) because each time you enter a roaming location you will have to dismiss the guard before it will let you get data on the roaming network.

I guess I'll just chalk this experience up to HTC's notoriously amazing QA. Maybe I'll re-do my phone this weekend then. We are also having problems where all of our phones are having received SMS timestamps that are 1 hour behind (but only on sprint towers, and only in the tri cities - works fine roaming, in knoxville, or on airave...). Wonder if it's also related to restoring the backup or just Sprint being Sprint.

About 3 hours freeway driving. Knoxville is closer and I don't have the problem there. All 3 of our Ones are affected (and we aren't even on the same Sprint plan) but my buddy's iPhone is not. Also, the clock on my phone is always correct and it is set to get the time from the tower. It is only received SMS timestamps that are wrong. A conversation will look like this: Sent message 10:40AM Received message 9:41AM Sent message 10:42AM Received message 9:44AM etc.
I will just reset the phone this weekend, maybe it will be happy again.

Mine never does that. Does it succeed? It must succeed to not pop that up.
One thing I've learned the hard way several times, is if you have AdBlocker running it screws up Activation, Update PRL etc. But you should be able to turn it back on later.
If it is failing activation even with adblocker off try activating with WIFI connection up.
You can also try ##72768# but be warned if it does not succeed you will have no voice or data. I recommend doing this only with a solid Sprint Signal 3G or 4G, but WIFI will work too.
If you call sprint, 99% sure that's the first thing they will try.
If you are using GSM in another country there is an app you can freeze. Look in Sprint M9 forums, this is asked all the time on how to kill it.

I'm on GSM in another country. I tried methods described before to turn it off before, but I ended up bricking my phone. If I started to be bothered by it again, I might try freezing it. Something I noticed though, I didn't notice the Activation prompt on my recent reboots recently.
For the information of all...
Dont try remove or Rename "LGStartupwizard.apk" remove this APK cause Bootloop and stuck at the "LG Security Error" and the only way to go back to life the G4 is flashing TOT file
cheers!
