I just got myself the HTC Tattoo and am a bit confused on the Android Market. From what I am reading, it appears that Android Market REQUIRES that your phone have a data plan or at least have it provisioned (pay per use). I am stuck because my sim chip has been locked from having any data use. I am on a business account so have no ability to call ATT and have them re-provision my sim.
I know my wifi works, and am able to download from other sites that provide apk's directly. But is there any wifi workaround so I can access Android market?
Lastly, I am not really all that interested in anything except this one program my brother uses on his iphone called "supercam." We have a q-see DVR system in our business and supercam is the only program available that can interface with it. This is freeware so if anyone has the apk available, I would love it if you could email it to me.
Or if someone can instruct me on a way to access Android Market via wifi only, that would also be supremely appreciated!
Marketplace over Wifi works for me. Maybe your Phone is locked somehow by your vendor.
I only use wifi to access Market.
You could search on google for supercam apk.
Did you even try to go to the market with wifi turned on?
I have been able to access Market through Wi-Fi since day 1 without any problem. Don't see any reason why you can't.
Hey - I just searched the andorid market via the tattoo for supercam and there is no such app - chances are even if you got into market place via wifi you still would not get hold of this app.
Try googling slideme on your PC - some marketplace programs there to download and transfer to your phone (the old fashioned way)
This phone issue seems to be common. When I looked it up, a lot of people with the Tattoo said they had to do a hard reset because apparently, if you skip the initial boot screen asking you to enter your Google login information, you will not be able to set it up after. Just an infinite loop problem where it says "unable to establish reliable connection to server or your sim is not data provisioned. please call customer care if this persists."
I'd like to avoid a hard reset if possible. I have tried to access market using wifi only, have tried it with wifi on and no sim chip inserted, have disabled all default APN, and a few other things. My browser works fine in all instances - market just keeps giving me that same error message that I wrote above.
For reference, I am using an unlocked HTC Tattoo that was purchased retail box. This was not a carrier provided phone so there should be no issue with carrier locks and such.
For the time being, I have tried using the SDK as an emulator on my desktop to access Android Market directly but through that, I have not been able to figure out how to save the APK's onto my computer. At the same time, I too did try looking up Supercam and did not see it - I thought it had to do with my screen resolution incompatibility (I heard android market only shows apps compatible with your screen resolution and hardware requirements). But if you go to google and type in "android supercam" the first link is from androlib and is the program I am looking for. However, all the QR codes send me straight to Android Market - that's assuming I was able to even get the QR reader working the first time around.
Suggestions?
I would suggest you to make Market work even if that means you need to reset your phone cos you might need some other apps in the future and that is the easiest way to install them as you see.
You could also use some other sim card, even prepaid that works with 3g to get smartcam from the market. But if people say that it is not available for Tattoo that won't help you. I was able to find smartcam with my rooted Tattoo but I also have hacked Marker app installed.
For now I think your only solution could be to find someone with some other Android phone to download it for you, then he should back it up with Astro file manager and transfer it to your phone. You could do the same thing with emulator.

Smartcam - is that a typo or a different app entirely? If that has support for the Q-See DVR's, that might work too. For now, I am waiting for my pre-paid 3G card. But then again, if my device still needs a hard reset, blah. But yeah, I do need access to the market. One of these days when I get my day off. Or maybe if and when 2.1 comes out for Tattoo. I heard that was announced a month ago but then heard it got retracted. Any news on that end?
It was a typo. I was talking about supercam.
There were a lot of news about Android 2.1 on Tattoo, but I didn't see any in about a month now. Last thing I heard there won't be official 2.1 release for Tattoo. But we can definitely expect community release very soon.

I've always done a lot of firmware updates with all my various devices but should there be a community release, what should I expect when I do the flash? Do I my sense UI or any other functionality for the original Android interface?
dont rule out an official update yet - it has neither been confirmed or denied officially
I think there will be an update in the next 6 months

Ha ha - you are right - we will probably have new handets by then!
FINALLY.
I got it working. What many of us seem to be missing is after setting up the APN, you have to restart the phone at least once so the sim is properly provisioned for data access. These are the correct settings for AT&T (gophone or postpaid):
Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular
proxy: none
port: none
username: [email protected]
password: CINGULAR1 (case sensitive)
Server: none
MMSC: mmsc . cingular . com
MMS Proxy: wireless . cingular . com (without the spaces - forum won't let me post links)
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN Type: none
In addition, YES, a hard reset is necessary - the Tattoo only likes to take your google account information on that initial boot. I had to reset twice because the first time around, I skipped the account setup and could not get it working even with the 3G mobile network enabled. During the initial boot, I did not have time to setup the wifi so cannot confirm if you need to use the data line portion of your sim to initiate contact Android market to get your google account setup.
After getting things setup the first time around, it works flawlessly on wifi with my blocked GPRS sim card.
$10 for the sim + 1MB of data to get my access to android market - man. Anyway, if anyone can confirm that the hard reset trick with mobile network off and wifi will still allow you to setup your google account for android market, that would be great!
Hi everyone ,
i'm glad to be here.
I had the same problem , my Tattoo can't connect to Google service , so i did a Hard Reset , and now everything work fine for me .

hi all,
i'm sure i'm being really really stupid here, but i just cannot seem to connect to the market, or to download anything onto the phone at all....
i got it and then rooted it using dayzee's gude (thanks!). i now want to install debian, so i need to download the terminal app (or something similar) from the market. however, i didn't have a google a/c - so i created one online. this involved an sms being sent to the phone which was received, code typed in and account authorized, etc. then i tried to connect to the market from the phone, so typed in all the information to set it up and got this message:
Code:
Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.
This could be a temporary problem or your sim card may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call customer care.
Now, I've tried this many times over the course of the day (today) and in different locations, too. I even tried registering another account from the fone - same response for all of these. Has anyone had similar problems, or got any suggestions about how to get around this?
one other thing i tried was to d/l stuff from http://www.cyrket.com/ but that also seemed to require that i sign into marketplace with a google account and i couldn't see any way to not do this.
extra info: t-mobile uk standard contract and phone, everything is pretty much 'virgin' still except for the fact i rooted it and have adb pushed the debian.img onto the sdcard as indicated on http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Installing_Debian
many thanks.
This has happened to a lot of people including myself. The only solution I am aware of is to factory reset your phone, and enter your Google account details in the initial setup.
This will solve your problem, but it does mean a reset.
thanks - that worked!! luckily i haven't done too much with the phone yet, so it was easy....
Im having the same problem atm
Bought my phone last august. Had a few problems this week (UIP need to hard reset?) So did a hard reset and now I cant get on the market to download my apps

Any help?
Alright, I rooted my phone and installed CM7 about 3 months ago, and had no problems ever until recently. My phone started force closing the messaging system and my media system. Then, I restarted my phone and it got stuck on the Vibrant screen, before the skateboarding CM7 android. I ended up flashing my phone back to the Samsung Vibrant T-959 stock using ODIN, but since I have Cincinnati Bell, I had to use T-Mobile's stock. My phone works perfectly fine except one thing... I DON'T HAVE DATA! I can't get online or access the market... It says I have no internet connection. Can anyone help me?
If there is something out there that I can use thats better than this T-Mobile stock software, please let me know... I'm open to anything at this point. I just want something stable and clean.
This sounds like the problem I have everytime I flash a Froyo ROM of any sort: I lose my APN.
You can check to see if that happened to you by going to Wireless, Mobile Networks, and checking to see if any APN is needed. If it says something along the lines of "Enter New APN?" or some such (I'm on MIUI at the moment so can't be exact), then your APN got wiped. Cincinnati Bell lists the correct APNs for the Vibrant on their website.
http://cbwportal.wdsglobal.com/phon...31&mobileNumber=&contractId=185&step=phone.vm
Go there, and enter both the WAP and MMS APNs, selecting the WAP one. Also, to curb another common problem, don't enter a Proxy for the WAP. It causes major browser slowdown and you data works just fine if not better without it.
did u try....
Taking the sim card out? Had the same problem, I took the sim out and put back... problem solved.try that
Hey, I'm having the same problem. Mine shows that I am connected and have full bars with 3G or H access. However, when I try to use the browser, gmail, market or any other app requiring data, it says that it fails to connect. I've been struggling with this for a couple of days now. I've already tried removing the sim card and resetting everything. Any help would be awesome, thanks!
I was quickly able to activate my Samsung Vitality (Gingerbread 2.3.4) to Page Plus with some limitations to MMS and default browser and stable 3G. After two weeks of reading every post I could find, I decided I should ask here !
1. The ##Data# does not do anything so I am unable to edit the default "Cricket" internet/MMS settings and apply the Page Plus settings. This causes issues with the default browser... it doesn't work and with MMS message sending. I have been able to overcome the MMS issue by apply a Page Plus APN, but it doesn't correct the browser. Does anyone know how I can get into the ##DATA# mode ?
2. I use QPST to change the settings necessary for Page Plus including the latest 3G PRL. 1x is solid as a rock, but 3G comes up, sometimes I can get a single web page to load then it drops ... within a few min. it will drop again... any idea on this ? (I am trying to be brief so if you want my QPST/PRL info please ask and I will provide.
3. I know Samsung had a "generic" update to 2.3.6, but it is no longer showing as available for download .. does anyone have the update available for download ?
Thanks in advance

I assume this is the 2.3.6 update and I installed the program on my desktop. However, when I start the upgrade process .. it tells me to hold the following keys ; "camera key,USB cable". Not sure what this means. I assume the camera key is the key configured for the muve music launcher presently, but .. for the usb... scratching my head . I assume I need to use a key sequence to get into the correct mode.. can you tell me what that is? Really appreciate your reply.
I figured it out -- hold camera key while plugging in usb cable !

Thanks ! I successfully updated to the 2.3.6. Unfortunately, I still have the problem with 3G, browser, mms msg and now with the Google Play Store. Steps taken -Used one click root to get root back, activated via *228, updated PRL, checked settings in QPST, identical as they were before.
1. Using same method as before to enable mms. I go into airplane mode, delete apn and load the pageplus apn via apn backup & restore app. Then MMS works. Do I need a special MMS.apk for page plus ?
2. Stock browser, dolphin both still have same issue on data (not wifi), connection error on any url load - Opera mini works in socket mode but has same problem if changed to http.
3. 3G has same symptom, it will reflect 3G in hybrid mode and in EVDO mode, but drops out comes back, drops out and cannot load web pages etc.. in CDMA mode only, have solid 1x like before and 1x speeds.
4. New problem, Google Play Store unable to connect unless I use marketaccess.apk to manually set to Verizon 310004 and emulate on boot. I expected the upgrade from market to google play to eliminate the need for me to continue to emulate the provider I am on in the US.
Thanks again !
Update
Update on browser issue. I called Page Plus .. told them I was using a "motorola Citrus" even tho they know I'm not, the rep looked at my settings and said hang on there are a couple of features that could be enable.. 5 minutes later I reactivated and the stock browser works. I wish I could tell you what features on my account they enabled, but they did not tell me. Prior to this my only browse ability was thru Opera Mini configured in socket mode... like I said .. http would not work. I assume they default "unknown" phones to WAP. So if you have a smartphone and are having problems with browsing with stock browser ...
This did not fix the APN issue. I still must use the pageplus apn file and restore it after every reboot or I cannot send MMS messages ...I have provided what is default on my phone ... after activation ? vs. what I enable to get MMS to work
3G - Same issue .. it will not stay connected in hybrid or evdo only mode
Market- Same issue I must use market enabler to emulate the US carrier code I am on after every reload .. the "emulate on boot feature" does not work !
As a side comment .. this is my 14th time attempting to correctly enter the different "spam protection code" ...
Does anyone have links to these files for the sch-r720?
I tried to changed APN manually to rogers but still data does not work, only call and text works. Is there a solution to this? I believe i got Pro 2 (cn with global rom installed)
I had the same issue, below is the APN setting on Rogers website, I've found that if you make the following changes, it will connect to 4G data (until you restart your device)APN Type: replace "internet + mms" with "*"
MVNO: ROGERS
MVNO type: SPN
This will get you connected.
However, I ran into another problem after configuring the network this way. After restarting the device, the phone can no longer detect the SIM card, and has an error message prompting restart).
This is my problem after restarting:
Comparing with other phones, the auto detected APN Type is typically "default", but entering default will cause the connection issue right away. The "*" will allow you to run until device reboot.
I too would like help on how to resolve this. Seems more software than hardware problem since it only fails after boot.

@GSKC
I just tried your method looks like it works and as you said it doesn't work after reboot. However when I did "Network setting reset," I was able to connect to 4g again (but resets wifi passwords too). Hopefully there's a solution...
I noticed that this problem only happens if there is a SAVED wifi network WHEN the device BOOT up.
I did a factory reset, then enter the APN manually. I was able to connect to stable network.
I did a system restart, no issue. The phone reconnects to the network automatically after booting.
I connect to a wifi network. The phone still works fine.
I restart the device again, the problem comes back.
If I take out the SIM and only use the Wifi, the phone is also okay.
The only time when it doesn't work is when I have both, which is the normal use case.
Something is happening in the firmware between the wifi and the SIM during the boot sequence.
This problem exists on my Lenovo L70081, Legion Phone Duel 2 Pro, running OS 12.5.188 ST, updated using Rescue and Smart Assistant v5.8.0.25
Any help would be appreciated.

Im on the same OS version 12.5.188ST, my phone connected to data absolutely fine with no problems but after every few hours stop making or receiving calls. I did the following and its fine for some time now but I'm not sure whether this will work with every phone but no harm in trying :
settings.....cellular network and sim.....5G mode. By default (at least in my phone) it is on NSA, I first switched to NSA+SA but to no avail, than I switched to SA and vola problem solved, all incoming outgoing calls working bang on but I think now my phone doesn't go on 5g which is still not good but at least making calls as normal. Now, as I said, this procedure might not work for everyone but try it, cheers.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately setting the 5G setting didn’t help. I also tried disabling 5G but I still have the issue.
Was your OS able to read the APN from your SIM or did you have to enter the APN manually also?

There's currently two ROM available on Rescue and Smart Assistant:
L70081_ROW_SECURE_USER_Q00017.0_R_ROW_12.5.188_ST_210819_qpst
L70081_EE_SECURE_USER_Q00017.0_R_ROW_12.5.137_ST_210710_sec_qpst
What's the difference between ROW and EE rom?
Which would work best in Canada and US?
is ROW only updated in Asia and Pacific?
i sort of had this same problem with Tmobile. it would only connect to 3g . if i connected to the 4g or 5g network i lost everything . i was able to fix it using my ROOTED phone and an app in the playstore called network guru. I used that to turn off majority of the network bands and only left the ones listed for the phone. My service was immediately fixed and havent had any trouble since

I know how ya feel, I pestered TMobile for 2 weeks and they were no help. They kept trying to push me off to Lenovo who was absolutely no help at all. Id go thru their website which connects you to Motorola. Then they would tell me they don't support the phone because it's Lenovo and give me a link to follow. Id follow that link which led me right back to Motorola lmfao.
After 4-5 times of going thru that nonsense I finally got someone who knew what they were doing. They told me because this phone was never released in the US I need to go thru their European server for assistance. Screw that, I did some more research and got the idea of trying this from some ancient post I found on xda lol.
It's actually very easy as long as your phone is rooted. download the app, click the 3 dots and go into force control. Then adjust the carrier bands so only the ones supported by the phone are selected. Then reboot your phone and it should kick over to a working signal . If not ya might have to monkey around in the service menu using the dial code *#*#4636#*#*

A terribly complicated situation.
If all this is true, I feel sorry for you.
A quick and easy fix.
forget and do not use previous email accounts,
remove the SIM card,
reset the phone to factory settings,
boot the phone and configure it, but don't connect any wi-fi network, and don't configure google account,
turn off the phone, insert the SIM card and boot the phone,
connect to the hotel's WiFi network (don't turn on connection saving) or better yet, turn on your SIM card's data connection, if you have that tariff,
set up a NEW n.p. account on gmail, but through a web browser, not through the gmail app,
if you see that everything works fine and you have no problems, then you can set up a google account if you need one,
NEVER enable debug mode in the developer options and don't listen to any advice from "friends"; you now have advisors on the XDA forum,
never install apps from outside the google store.

Relax, that only shows there are more notifications from apps (well, with 400 as you told it's no surprise).
As you have two phones, it might prudent to follow @ze7zez advice, start a new (phone) life on one of them with a "different" identity (aka account). See how that goes...
Don't despair, it might be a steep learning curve - just come back and ask

Hi Sigmund. I have done all of the above but yes debug mode is always on your right .and it says Rev 1.0 I read that Google released that in 2008 ? This is so messed up that was released in 2008 .can not fully reset because they are in accessibility settings with calender clock and emergency contacts .this has been 7 phones now I NEVER TURNED ON THE WIFI yet it connects without my knowledge I have earthquake alerts? I live in Texas we don't have those lol but several times ambet alert goes off incessantly and nobody around me had theirs go off ..this has been traumatizing I've lost my account of ten years its down right criminal that google let's these thing transpire.thank you for the advice about another browser!
Does anybody have any thing I can download to remove remote access for android ?? Tired of being spied on and I am unable to enter card info due to them stealing info .
The user is prob using remote debugging type of feature. Disable all dev options, run a full wipe, do not restore anything.
If you do not know what you are doing, never turn on dev options

Oi, let's try to break it down into smaller parts (just to avoid any confusion):
I was referring to circle at the end, position 7 - that shows there are more notifications from other apps. (you got that, right?)
Now you are probably referring to position 2, the gear?

First of all, if you do a full wipe: your data, contacts, emails, pictures and everything else will be gone...
You okay with that? I guess a firm "yes" here, besides you said you have 2 phones, so you can try that on one.
To reset a phone you go into settings, for me it looks like this:
1 settings
2 system
3 advanced
4 Reset options
5 erase all data (factory settings)
However, I am using a different phone and a different android (called LineageOS), so it might totally look different for you.
It differs quite often (eg samsung always feels weird to me). If you cannot find it, let us know what phone you want to reset.
After reset, best follow the list by @ze7zez

Not needed, a factory reset will kill that anyway.
PS2: Out of curiousity - how did you find your way into this nerdy place called XDA?
