hey there ive searched topaz thread and ive not really found an answer that has helped but i cant seem to connect to any apps which required to go online when on data connection (besides opera itsself) example the facebook app wen it goes to connect it just ends up erroring out and not connecting i was wondering if anyone else had this problem and managed to find a solution to it ive had the phone the first week its been out and its drivin me crazy having to either wait till i was in an area with wifi or not being able to recieve my emails on the go which i could do all on my TD1!
Working fine here on T-Mobile. Hope you manage to get it sorted as that must be very annoying.
If you can't get it working a glimmer of hope is that I read that they are looking to sell T-Mobile UK arm so maybe you can get out of the contract if they then change the t&c?
Have you turned off the proxy on your connection settings?
T-Mobile ave left a nasty impression on me.
There's a broken network cell in my area where only GPRS works, so you have to force the phone to connect through that and not 3G (3G connects, but no data will transfer), they refused to believe me, despite testing with a collegues handset and sim proved the same, and walking to the other end of town allowed 3G to work, and back came back again and it didn't, been like that for months. Tech support wanted to blame my settings / handset / anything but their hardware, despite me proving several collegues had the same problem.
I'm just in the process of moving my number to Three (Three and T-mobile are the only choice if you want a large data pack)
cheers mate it took me forever to relise that, yh i hate t-mobile sooo much but ive been with them since they where mercury one-2-one and have a relitivly good deal flext 35 wnw n 1 mobile tv channel for £22.24 pm with them so im sort of stuck there. t-mobile customer serivice is poor network coverage in some areas is shocking in your case have you requested a new sim which might help. ps beware of 3 they are pretty much another t-mobile in disguise but with worst contracts lol
Got a good deal on 3:-
£30 per month for:-
300 mins
2000 texts
2000 on network mins
free skype
3GB of data
Push email
0800 calls are free, and 0845 / 0870 is £0.15 per min. (T-mob sent me a text to say "in order to allign our charges these calls are now 40 pence per min"!!!!)
It's a 30 Day Contract, so I can leave if anything goes wrong.
I'll give 3 a go and see if they work for me, Only support I tend to need is if the service has a fault (which is where T failed me.).
Did removing the proxy help?
It sounds like I've got the same problem as you. I had a t-mobile Ameo before the diamond2 and it as very hit and miss, so much so that I gave up.
When my diamond2 arrived, I tried it with the Orange sim it came with, everything works as it should.
Popped my t-mobile web and walk sim into the phone, it won't get emails, occasionally goes online with opera but not always, won't download weather data.
I'm putting the t-mobile sim in the bin and using the Orange one as soon as it's ported my number.
I've tried for 18 months to get an answer but no luck so far.
I got my td2 and put the tmob sim im. At first I was getting the same problems you mentioned. I reset the network connections a couple of times and disabled the proxy. Then everything worked fine and has since. Very happy with it tbh now, awesome phone.
ten
trinode cheers mate clearing the proxy did help thanks mate finaly i can use the fone and the services to its potiential now lol that doesnt sound like a bad deal your getting the appealing factor to your deal is the 30 day rolling contract
i'm still having problems with youtube. tried everything and it's still not connecting :S
The Youtube app should start working if you just leave it to its own devices for a while.
The only problem I'm having is with Fring, it won't connect over Tmobile but is fine over Wifi. I guess it's because I'm on the cheapest WnW tarriff which I believe bans VOIP, so they've probably blocked Fring's servers.
Never mind!
My locked G1 came today and although I though I'd previously seen a free unlocking solution much like the other HTC devices, I can seem to find it!
I'd be more than grateful if someone could point me in the direction of any free service.
Otherwise, I don't mind paying to unlock, (Devs need to eat too right?) but I'm actually leaving to travel Europe in 4 hours and was playing to use the unlocked G1 abroad.
Is there anyone here, or can anyone recommend a UK based, (I'm presuming they'd be the quickest due to time zone differences) unlocking service that would be able to get an unlock code to me before 5PM, GMT today?
Thanks for all your help XDAF!
The only free way is if tmobile will give it to you but that takes awhile. I use www.unlock-tmobileg1.com which says it only takes 2 hours but sometimes may take longer....upto 4 hours. Some people on here say ebay is the quickest so you could try there just make sure the seller has a goood feedback for unlock codes. If you use the site I reccomended and it doesn't come before you leave then you could always check your email from a pc when you get where your going, it will definetly be there by then. Also make sure you have the APN settings for whatever carrier you will be using.
There aren't any free unlocks for the G1, only the services which have access to a database of codes (one for each phone). Although they aren't obliged and probably won't it might be worth trying to call T-mobile if you are a good customer. Otherwise get in your order as quick as possible.
^^^Yep, said it all.

I've been on www.unlock-tmobileg1.com and I think it's a US website, so presuming they work 9-5 they're going to be unlikely to be able get it to me on time.
We're starting off in a very 'rural' place, so checking via a computer/internet cafe won't be an option until a few weeks in.
Or is the www.unlock-tmobileg1.com an automated system?
Order right now I would say because I just placed a order for my gf's G1 about 27 mins ago and I just got the code after I replied to your post the first time.
Also it is based in us and france. Although I am 99% sure it is a automated system anyway.

Can we get some info on your phone. Are you with T-Mobile.
Thanks for your response. I Have a HTC Dream T-Mobile G1.
I'm actually outside the US with a SIM Card from Orange Cote d'Ivoire in the handset.
If it is locked you shouldnt even get past the screen where it asks for the unlock code. You might just need to find the APN settings for Orange Cote d'Ivoire. Try the Big APN Thread here or google, to enter then settings just hit the menu button and a APN Settings button should pop up and you can go from there.
I'm not sure it's unlocked. I entered the APN Fron Orange Cote d'Ivoire and I can see the "E" indicating that I'm connected too the Edge network. But when I enter my Google account info, I get an error message "Can't establish a reliable data connection to server. this could be a temporary problem or your SIM card may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, Call Customer Care". Do you thing unloking the handset will solve the problem?
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!

Moving to Q&A
Much to my dismay, I think device is dead, bit I was more wondering if anybody else has run into this at all. To preface I'm currently traveling in Europe, phone worked fine from the 17th of October. I have the International Data and every thing was peachy till last night when it stopped associating to the cellular network. I had been using wifi calling to home till I started getting the red wifi calling icon saying invalid sim. I started looking at settings and noticed APN settings we gone and it couldn't search for networks.
I tried restarting, puling sim, then I tried a factory wipe, ultimately culminating in the pictures attached below. I also attached a picture of the bootloader for added info.
I called into T-mobile, 5 representatives and an hour and a half later was told that the only way that I was going to get a replacement is to go return it to the store where I processed my pre-order, and that needs to be done within 14 days. I'm going to try today to see if Samsung can do anything for me, but this seems more of a hardware failure that should be covered by the manufactured warranty.
I do have JUMP but I don't feel I should have to pay the deductible for this.
:TLDR:
I've not rooted, flashed or other wise modded my phone, anybody else run into this?

If you traveling I think phone needs an unlock code and a different Sim card. WiFi calling probably just updated it self and kicked you off.

You don't need a new sim to travel with. I've used my sim and carrier many times in UK and Germany with out issue, you just get to pay a premium for roaming.
If I wanted to use a local carrier and then the local rates, then I need to be unlocked and then a local carriers sim.
I am abroad for a semester. I bought another plan for when I was abroad. The new sim card came with several codes on it which resulted in me attempting too many times to unlock my phone. After a week or two, I finally made the connection that the 'SIM Network Unlock PIN' was supposed to come from my USA carrier AT&T. After hours on the phone with them, they pretty much told me my phone was a brick. Only good with wifi. I am hoping there is a way to bypass this 5 attempt limit with some changes.
I've looked for possibilities in the
Developer Options
Service Mode (Only thing that shows up is [error] <RAT_NONE>)
But can't figure out a way to work around this 5 attempt limit.
I have all of my information backed up and haven't made the final move to factory reset my phone (if that would even work), hoping that there was some other way!
Also I have not been able to figure out why my phone won't connect to my Mac computer. When connected by USB it only charges. I couldn't find the option to switch to MTP!
Any help is much appreciated!
