Hi!
I just bought a HTC G1 from the internet like 1 day ago. The problem is that I can't seem to get it to sync with my google account. It says I don't have an internet connection. The problem is that I can't sync it witg my wifi, so what do I do to get around this problem and start enyoing Android?

It's a US-spec phone with a swedish sim. Why shouldn't it work?

Hope someone can help me!

Best of wishes

You need to set a new APN to allow data transfer specific to your mobile carrier. Menu, APN, New APN

Sorry cant be more specific as not too conversant on the terminology.

When I get to "new APN" the list is blank what do i do?

It seems like a need a sim-unlock tool. Where can I find a scam-free one?

Baggy

can you tell what sim you have put in i.e. Telia or Sweden 3G

as you may be able to find the APN for i.e I'm with '3' so mine was three.co.uk.

as for your MCC MNC codes

Mobile Network Code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I had similar problems with mine where i got a t mobile g1 of ebay so i unlocked it for '3' but couldn't sync with google account. i fixed it by factory reset and passing set up, went to wifi and signed on there. then i set up my APN

You need to set up a new APN

As there have been 2 ways described how to get past the registration screen, this is the way I did mine


Search "<your mobile carrier> APN settings"

Enter the carriers name, then 'under APN' the setting name, eg. TeliaSonera is - online.telia.se



Thats all I had to do albeit with a different APN because I am in a another part of the world.

It is a Telia SIM.

Should i downgrade to RC29, and then try? will it be any different?

Baggy

try [settings>wireless controls>mobile networks>access point names]

Name: Telia Internet
APN: online.telia.se
MMSC: http://mms.telia.se
MMS proxy: 193.209.134.132
MMS port: 9201
MCC: 240
MNC: 01
[if needed Authentication type: none]
leave the rest as <not set>
try the ones in RED 1st the black ones may help with MMS
and save

this should help at least with getting you on the internet and google account
let me know if this has worked as you may not be alone!!

ps i don't think you need to downgrade, its mostly for when your wanting to root your phone.

I entered only the APN and atuhentification as default. It sorted itself out so now it all works
