i have neither of them so i can't activate my phone right now but i have read about 2 diffrent methods to activate the G1, on of them was to use a t-mobile card to turn on the WIFI connection and then you can activate your phone via wifi without using a data connection.
and i know about the old firmware problems that you can write command in the phone and they will work (like the reboot) so maybe we can use the hidden terminal to turn on the wifi (something like that) and do the setup.

Hi,
I have htc radar 4g
Yesterday I popped in att sim card to unlock my phone and I have been using it for half a day. I used the htc connection setup to get mms working and internet.
After half a day i switched to tmobile sim card and I used the htc connection setup again to set setting to tmobile
Now I can't use internet sharing on my phone
When I try to turn it on i get:
"Connection not shared
To enable tethering on this device, go to att.com/mywireless or dial 611"
Anyone knows how to get rid of it?
I use tmobile prepaid and this has been working before I unlocked my phone and used atts sim card...
any help appreciated!
Give it a couple days to re-provision the Internet Sharing restriction (shouldn't take more than about 24 hours). AT&T wants people to pay extra for tethering, and your phone must have picked up that restriction while it was on their network. It *should* go away on its own. Try rebooting the phone again if it sticks around.
If you were on a slightly older phone, I'd tell you haw to bypass the restriction entirely, but unfortunately we don't yet have a way to provision custom provxml files on the Radar (or other HTC gen2 phones).
will see,
i will give it a time to saturday
but this is what i did
1. made a backup on my mac
2 restored to factory settings
3. checkked ineternet sharing
it works fine
4. restored my backup
5 sharing not working
so i will wait until saturday/sunday and see
I have the exact same issue. Any solution? I'm overseas and can't use the internet tethering function which is one reason I bought this phone!
I don't have a WP7 device yet, but I am considering getting one. I am looking to disable all data (over the network) before actually starting to use the phone.
- Specifically, I was wondering how the network/connection settings were configured on a STOCK WP7 phone (in comparison to, say, WM6.5). The reason I want to know this is because I want to disable data (over the network) at all times... and I want to do this prior to actually using the phone (with my SIM card in it).
In WM6.5 (and earlier), the network/connection settings allowed you to create a "dummy" network that the phone would connect to (instead of allowing the automatic connection to the data network). All you had to do was tell the phone to connect to a network that didn't exist (so that it wouldn't ever connect to the data network)... thus, no data would ever be used because the phone would never connect to a data network.
Do the WP7 network/connection settings allow you to do something like that? And, are you able to access these settings before putting a SIM card in the phone?
- Also, I have seen a few threads mention that there is a button/option that disables network data... if so, does this actually work? As in, does it completely shut off access to the data network?
Obviously, I would prefer to create the "dummy" network if possible, because I know that it will NEVER connect (I used this method on a Touch Pro 2; it would also say the network was "offline" whenever I accidentally tried to use the internet or something without the WIFI being on; this is exactly what I want).
Thank you for your help. Like I said, I don't have a WP7 device yet (which is why I'm asking these questions)... but I hope to get one soon if the data connection can be disabled.
Menu>Settings>Mobile network>Transmission data (or Data transmission, I have Polish language and I don't know how that called in English ROM) - off.
^ Thank you for that... so that confirms that there is a button/option to turn the data off.
But, I am still wondering if there is a way to create a network that the phone will never connect to... in WM6.5, you could choose whether the phone connected to the "Internet", "Work", etc. Basically, you would just change the settings in the "Work" connection to be something that would never connect (a "dummy" network), set the "Work" as the default, and then you were set.
Is this possible with a standard/stock WP7 phone?
No

I am using Avast on 3 different stock rooted phones and it's anti-theft features are pretty nice. only problem is to get a GPS fix it not only needs the GPS enabled, but also needs a data connection, either connected wifi or 3/4g to recieve the coordinates back at their server (at least in my short testing that seems to be the case). Avast anti-theft has the ability to reboot the phone, so Is there a way I can get my phones to enable 3g by default at startup?
Also, if their is better anti theft with location capabilities please feel free to chime in, but it must be able to give proper location information no matter what the state of the data connection or be able to enable data when pinged for its location.
Any help is appreciated.
Phones (Ting network, a Sprint MVNO):
Samsung Epic 4g Touch SPH-D710 stock rooted
Samsung Epic slider SPH-D700 stock rooted
Lg Marquee LS855 stock rooted
Sorry i didn't simply edit my post. Figured a reply would help to bump it up the threads.
In further testing (on the Epic Touch) it appears avast auto enables wifi, but does not enable 3g. Avast gives me ability to disable/enable a "forced data connection" when it is sent a locate command. When this 'forced data" option is enabled and a command is sent it only enables wifi, not 3g.
I have turned my wifi router off, disabled my wifi and 3g on the handset, sent the appropriate commands and still 3g never enables. I had hoped that when avast triggers the "forced data connection" that since i have no wifi signal available it would enable wifi, never connect to a wifi signal and fall back to 3g but this just isn't the case. wifi turns on, never connects and 3g never enables.
I would presume that if i left the "forced data connection" option of avast disabled i could simply send a command to reboot the phone, the reboot would turn on 3g (provided someone knows how to make it happen), then I could send locate command and this would be an acceptable work around. If anyone understands what I'm getting at and knows how to set up my phone so 3g enables on bootup that would be a huge help.
I have yet to test the avast features on the other phones, but am presuming they will operate in the same fashion and will need the same work around to be implemented. The whole reason for all of this is that I don't have unlimited data and don't want to leave my 3g on all the time to be able to locate my phone in the event of loss. kinda useless if I lose the phone and have no way to engage the features needed to track and recover it.
Again, all help and suggestions greatly appreciated
Hello,
I damaged my SIM slot on another phone so I have to use this 10 years old phone for backup. I inserted my ATT sim card to it and it connected to ATT network but without data enabled. I tried to enable the data connection in wireless manager, it tried to enable but ended with error message "check settings". I don't see anything wrong with settings. Anyone has success to use HTC Fuze on ATT with 3G data now?
Hello!
I have this s10e from Verizon and it is network unlock (I talked to Verizon to confirm this), well I bought it new and as soon as I turn it on, it started to upgrade to Android 11. All the update went without any issue, anyway when update was completed. I inserted my SIM card and I did not connect to the mobile network. I went to settings and open connections > Mobile networks change from Global to LTE/GSM/UMTS and manual to select the network. Network selected and I got the message "Can't register on the network" , I try again and it connects but after some minutes it lost the signal and got the message "Unable to connect, try later"
I have try several options, all with the same result, it connects for a while then it lost the connection and it won't reconnect until I try it manually...
These is what I have tried (not ordered in the way I tried them)
- Network Reset (including APN reset to default)
- Manually select the network (I go from Global to LTE/GSM/UMTS and backwards)
- Pull out the SIM, turn off the cell, insert SIM turn it on. When phone turns on sometimes it connects immediately to the mobile network but after it completes the initialization, the cell disconects.
- Erase the cache from the Phone app.
- Wipe cache
- Factory reset
I know it is not the phone because I have a Verizon SIM card and when I inserted it, the cell works flawless, actually since I'm out of USA, the cell connects to the same mobile network (on roaming) I'm trying to use with my SIM card. So I was thinking of downgrade to Android 11 but I found some threads where they reported the same issue (with Android 10) but no solution or they pointed to the workarounds I already tried so I don't think it is an Android 11 bug.
Does anyone knows something about this? any workaround?
Thank you!!

Just guessing as your have already tried many things.
Maybe you still have Verizon CSC installed what works fine with the Verizon SIM card, but leads to unstable mobile connection with another SIM card.
To check, download unbranded firmware for your region and flash it with Odin on PC via USB cable to your phone.
Use the CSC file ... Not the Home_CSC. This will wipe your data.
How this will help.
