G1 and T-mobile Question

I think this is the best place for this question.
I have a G1 now and am considering moving over to the Nexus one. My wife and I are on the family plan and we want to keep that going. Currently she only had a basic phone with basic cell service. I have the basic cell service with the Data Plan added to my line. Her contract is up and she can get a new phone, which is good because her Motorola is getting flakey. Anyhow she wants to start doing text messaging with family. So she wants a new phone that has a full keyboard for texting. She doesn't need/want the data plan as it is $30/mo that she won't use. The problem is that all the phones with full keyboards require a data plan. She is a stay at home mom so if she needs the internet she get on a computer. So my thoughts were to get the new Nexus One for me @ $533 for the unsubsidized rate. I take my SIM out of my G1 put it in the N1. Move her sim from her Motorola over to my old G1 then turn on texting on the her line.
She wouldn't be paying for data and I could just set the G1 up to use our Wifi anyhow. Not that it would be used for anything but updating and installing new apps. So it should be fine. I could wipe the phone and set it up on her Gmail account before pulling my sim so I could then configure Wifi.
Does anyone see any flaws in my thinking? I have already put her sim in my G1 as a test and it could make a receive calls on her number. The one thing that I did notice is that it said it had 3G coverage but I didn't try it.
Thanks

Well I was out running around today and stopped into the local T-mobile shop to run these questions across them.
Basically they said that it should be fine. They would only be concerned if I were trying to disable the data plan on my account while still under contract. Since I will be maintaining my data plan for use on the Nexus there are no concern. He said that I may have issues when trying to set up the phone for Her. I mentioned I could wipe the phone and set it up on her Gmail account before moving my SIM. He said that once her SIM is in it may have and issue the first time it powers on. He said that worst case we could come down to the store and turn on the data plan for an hour or so and get it updated then they could turn it off.
He also mentioned that I may have problems accessing the App Market as they were told that it needs the data network to function. However he admitted that he can access the App Market just fine on his old G1 at home over his Wifi and no SIM Card. So he again thought that I would be OK. The only real issue that I can see is that I may not be able to get OTA updates. That shouldn't be a big deal because the phone is rooted and I am running a cooked ROM on it. We plan on leaving it that way and I will be doing updates in that manner.
So it looks like my questions are answered. I am posting the resolution as others may have the same question.

Droid Turbo on T-Mobile. Need Help!

So I've had my droid turbo for a month now and I've been using it on T-Mobile and it has worked fine, no issues whatsoever, until yesterday when the service just stopped working. I have no signal at all. I took it to T-Mobile and they couldn't fix it and then Verizon who also couldn't fix it. I tried At&t and Verizon sim cards and they work, but for some reason T-Mobile sims don't work anymore, I woke up and it just had no signal. Also, whenever i put in my sim, i get the message "Restricted access changed voice service is blocked" Please help!!

I've been on T-Mobile with my Turbo for a little over a month now. Delete any APNs if you have any, reboot and test.
If no profit..
Turn wifi, Bluetooth, nfc, anything that connect to any kind of network off and run it dead, then charge it to full and boot back up then turn what you need back on, should have signal again.
If not..
Try another sim from T-Mobile, yours may be damaged if you frequently take the tray out over and over..
The Last possible solution would be to reset the phone entirely, so make backus f what you need beforehand. Then set it up from last backup saved to google if you have one and pop the sim in, let it sit 2-5 mins, reboot, then give it ~2 mins and you should have signal recovered.
If not, then may be an update gone awry or if you have it rooted and such, maybe something you used broke it.
Last problem would be a bad antenna, so try all the above before trying to replace the antenna.
Hope the best of luck for you :
Only Problems I've had on my Turbo was it turning wifi off randomly here and there, making me do a reboot every few days.
Dropped signal once, but that during initial use, so not much to blame on it there

I've been using a Turbo on tMob since 2 wks after release. That said I've run into the same thing a couple times over the past yr. Out of nowhere it just acts up & stops working. As suggested above I'd say about the smae things. So to no repeat it all my first suggestion is try getting a new Sim card from tMob. First time it happened to me it was my sim, other 2 times it was not, sim was good. Only option to fix it on my end was a factory reset of the device. On the resets tho I made sure to use tMob sim, but i also did not start the process until the msg pops up on the turbo saying its " Not a Verizon sim card" i'd clear that and then start the process of resetting it. So far so good as of late, been at least 3-4 months since the last time i was having troubles.

Phone can't connect to one specific carrier network

Hey guys,
my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 was on the table, when the AVG-Anti Theft alarm started suddenly.
I thought that it is just a bug and unlocked my phone, using the PIN, that I set when setting up AVG.
Now, the intetesting part starts:
I was not able, to connect my phone to the carrier-network (let's call it carrier A), which means I can't call anybody or send SMS or do anything, a phone is supposed to do.
At thirst, I thought that the sim card must be defect and tried to put it into another phone. The other phone did not have any problems, connecting to the network.
My second thought was that the modem or something like that in my phone has a defect, which is causing the issues. Oh boy, was I wrong, as every other carriers sim cards are working with the Note 8. I do have 3 sim cards from carrier A and each one from carrier B and C. All three cards from carrier A are not working, but B and C are.
Then I decided to call the carrier A support, which assured that my phone is causing the problems, rather than their network.
Afterwards, I tried hard resetting my phone and even re-flashing the stock ROM did not do anything.
I would appreciate any help.
P. S. I'm sorry, if my English is not that good, it is a foreign language for me.

Looks like it is the avg app that is causing the trouble, have you contacted de developer?

Contacted AVG
Yes I did contact the AVG support, but have not got an answer yet. But do you think that AVG could make such changes to the system, which would persist, even after a factory reset/ re-flash?

Note 8 keep dropping connection once a while. Cannot call, text, data.

Hi! Thanks for reading my problem.
I have a tmobile note 8 that I have successfully switched to verizon firmware according to the guide here. It got the verizon boot logo and bloatware just like vzw phone.
It work perfectly after the switch, 4g lte ,call or text all work.
But it will drop after a while of use. It can be a few hours or few minutes. I cannot receive call, cannot access internet, cannot make call...
If I restart it all will become working again for a while. Any recommendation how to fix it? Thanks again.

I have a note 8 (SM-N950F/DS) for about three weeks now. I am using FP on AT&T network. When I just got it, especially while I was moving in the car or train, it would lost the data connection quite often even though showing full bar signal. I had to put it on air plane mode then switched back to reconnect.
Then after 1-2 weeks of use, the issue went away. I don't know it was due to the latest update (I am on Dec security patch now) or some kind of the phone learning my travel pattern.

Interesting, My phone lost it while I m at work... not even moving

For the longest time I thought was alone here. VZ Wireless Note 8 user here. My signal also just drops out of no where. When I look at my screen the 4G LTE upload up arrow is the only one turning up and down. Sometimes this issue will go away on its own after a few minutes or longer. But, randomly out of nowhere this started to happen. Few weeks now and counting I'm guessing it has something to do with a update that I recently upgraded to. I never had this issue when I first had my phone.....

I also have the problem.. Also Verizon branded Note 8.
I see a global Android update coming to possibly address this
From Android Headlines (AH):
"New Android Update For Galaxy Note 8 Improves LTE Stability"
"The latest Android update for the Galaxy Note 8 was designed to improve the stability of the phablet’s 4G LTE functionality as it specifically addresses a bug that occasionally caused interruptions of such connections, as revealed by a changelog published by Samsung earlier this week. The update appears to be rolling out on a global level, with its distribution officially starting on Wednesday, 15 days after the Seoul-based phone maker launched the latest security patch for the same handset."
Starting this month..
Anyone with ideas how to resolve this in the meantime?

I am still having this problem after oreo update.. I don't think I want samsung anymore..

Ok guys those who have Verizon, go to settings, mobile settings and change network to cdma and reset your settings. Turn off the phone, pop the sim tray out, power up ur phone while sim is out and turn off the phone again, this time push ur sim card in and turn on your phone. It should solve the problem of signal being dropped. Good luck.

Question Anyone Have ZenFone 8 on Verizion?

it looks like it has the right frequencies to operate on Verizon, and it will initially connect to the network on boot, but then drops off.
Any ideas here?

Hi - Mine arrived over the weekend and I put in my Verizon 5G sim card and i was able to connect to verizon data network. All things data worked.
But I can't place or receive calls as volte isn't working (my account has volte active). I don't have 5G where I live - so I'm on the LTE network.
I opened a support case with Asus this morning - they said to wait 24 to 48 hours for their engineers to review it. They originally told me to call Verizon, which Verizon told me they can't help. Verizon said Asus has to work with them to get the phone certified. I'm not sure what to do at this point except wait for Asus to reply. I will be returning it if they don't get it sorted out very quickly.

Out of the box I had data only without ability to make calls. After rooting the the phone and installing LineageOS I was able to make calls and and operate the phone on Verizon network without any issues.

Can anyone confirm this? And if so, why does LineageOS work, but not the default ROM?

I just tried it and it depends. I had the exact same symptoms:
- Data worked fine
- Texts works fine
- Calls didn't work at all
And I installed lineage 19 and then everything is normal and great. No idea why though.
EDIT: I installed lineage 19, staxisos, omnirom and all had this problem:
- Data fine, calls, fine, texts could send
- Couldn't receive texts.
After the level 2 verizon tech told me the phone was a loss I returned it. Now after doing a ton more research I found out that it might be because I simply took the sim from my old pixel 4 and popped it in. It seems you need a new sim card or you need to somehow have your line switched to be "cdma-less". Looking at these articles:
r/verizon
r/SonyXperia
OnePlus community
The guide presented on the oneplus community gives me hope I could still use this phone with verizon, but it appears to be a daunting task. If anyone has navigated the customer service and succeeded with this specific phone, I might rebuy it.
