I just got this phone(2months barely used) and everytime I try to put in my Google account I get "can't establish a reliable data connection to the server" I have AT&T and I'm just trying to use this for a music/gaming phone. How can I activate my Google account to get on the market(play store). I haven't rooted or unlocked the bootloader yet but was thinking of doing so. Any help would be awesome. Please help?

Try a different data connection......if it doesnt work,factory reset your phone once......maybe that could help
Just a thought, but have you tried setting up the account on a WiFi connection? Could well be a network-related issue. And the 'Background Data' option under Settings>Accounts is checked?
Yes I got it. I don't understand lol. I took the 8gb sd card from my other phone put it in the WFS and it worked no problem :/ but thanks guys

Another card? Wow! Wouldn't have thought of that. Anyway, glad you got it working!
Yeah I'm unsure what it could have been :/ but since I don't have a tmobile account or sim card I would have been upset if I couldn't have had the play store :/

I just bought an unlocked Desire Z off ebay. Everything worked fine, calls, SMS, internet. I just did a phone reset to get some of the crap that the guy left on the phone off it and now it won't connect to the net. Phone and SMS still work and it's connected to the MTS network but no internet.
I know my carrier has been having some problems with the internet lately so it could just be that the net is down or did I mess the phone up by resetting it?
Shouldn't of messed anything up with the reset. Check your apns..but first since u said it might be your carrier wouldn't you check with them first? Part of your phone bill goes to "free tech support" so use it

Check with carrier make sure your network is not down, and makes sure APN are set to your carrier
Figured it out. Thanks for the help.

That shouldn't affect it because ressting or factory resetting is a system tool and doesn't have anything to do with your mobile services, talk to customer support.
so i was at work and my phone just lost service, and it has not came back. i have tried flashing a different rom, but no difference. what else should i be looking for? or is the phone just bad now?
Call your service provider and see if they are having network issues

It does sound strange. Have tried switching between 2g and 3g to see if it makes any difference?

2g makes no diff, ill have to wait for a phone to use and call them, and then most likely get a new phone, then unroot mine yaya and so on lol.

If you are both T-Mob, then of course you are the same network. They don't build a new set of cell towers just for pre-paid. They just change the way they bill you.
ya need to get a new phone, went back to stock rom and still is messed up
called tmobile and it turned out to be my sim card was a older version and had switched networks too many times and couldnt connect anymore. took the one that came with the phone and got it setup and its all good again.

Well, if the memory on the SIM card is akin to flash memory, I guess it's possible.

Really? Totally believe you just dont see the logic behind it. Why would they make a sim card only be able to switch networks so many times? Makes no sense. The person you talked to probably just had no idea what they were talking about!
Pretty much every rewritabe non volatile memory technology out there has a limiter number of writes that can be performed on it before it fails. Maybe a SIM card will last for > 10 years. I don't know, I haven't been with a single provider long enough to find out. I can see where this was a logical hypothesis on the part of the rep, and since replacing the sim worked, where is the problem?

So ive been doing researches cuz i would like to get my "WIFI Calling" to work...
So i called T-mobile to see they had a solution for me...
And this is what they said:
They told me that the Normal Sim Card i have is not supported to use WIFI Calling.....
So the guy said that i need to buy a "GAB SIM CARD" that supports WIFI Calling and its price is $20
I even Google it to see how they look but didn't find it...
What do you guys think?
Should i buy it or is there another way to do it without buying this SIM CARD

sim cards are and should be free from t-mobile. go to your local store.
BUT, when you got your phone (if you bought it from t-mobile) it should have come with a sim card, that supports wifi calling. That's what I had to do, had them activate the sim that came with my galaxy s2, and then started using it instead. and bam wifi calling
It sounds like you went to a dealer.
Not every t-mobile store is operated by t-mobile. Many of them are dealer stores that charge whatever they want.
Dealer stores are usually pre pay only, but there are some authorized to collect commission off contracts and that have access to t-mobiles "quickview" account software. (Quickview is the system the infamous SOC codes are set up in.)
A lot of dealers incorporate sleazy practices and do not conform to the standards set by t-mobile. They do things like charge egregious amounts of money on SIM cards, and may not honor the return polices set by t-mobile. They also sell lots of "out of production" phones they get at good deals ex. Lg-g2x for under 240 dollars wholesale and resell for over 550.
Call t-mobile and ask for a corporate store, not a dealer store.
T-mobile seems to allows this since "money is money"
As for the SIM card I don't think it has anything more than you're IMSI and your half of the encryption cypher, (for establishing a network connection) and some limited memory regarding contacts and previous network connection frequencies . . . The fact that your SIM card did not support wifi calling is most likely because t-mobile identified it a a card not to allow access to for whatever reason. I don't believe there is a technical deficiency in you're old SIM preventing such a technology, or support in you're new one for that matter.
But then again, I am no expert. If anyone knows more please share.

Initially they told me $20 too...but I explained to them in a very gruff voice that I give them over $200 a month and I am completely done with my contract and would be happy to switch carriers. Manager came out and gave me the SIM. Since that day I always go to that store and the Manager normally sweetens my purchase with a discount on what I buy.

T-Mobile is actually using new type of SIM cards - GBA cards that allow WiFi calling via the SIM, and the device must support it as well - you must have a GBA SIM and a compatible device for this type of WiFi calling to work.
If I remember correctly, only the Galaxy S2 and the HTC Amaze support WiFi Calling through the SIM, rest of the devices have it using the app.
My girlfriend bought a gs4 recently and it was working fine till today. She lost T-Mobile service. There is no signal it just says unable to connect. WiFi works fine but it won't connect to T-Mobile network for some reason. So she can't make calls or text. We reset it a few times, took the SIM card out and put it in my phone. And her SIM works on my phone. So it's the gs4, we tried doing almost everything
Anyone else have this issue?

make sure that the phone is not in "airplane mode".
When you pull down the nofication screen slide the
toggles left and right til you see "airplane mode"
and be sure it's not lit up.
Good luck!
She said she took it to tmobile but they said they can't fix it and can't do nothing about it. As for airplane mode it's not in it. It's weird it would automatically turn of the enable data connection when check it on and try to connect to tmobile network it can't connect and it uncheck the box automatically

Hello to all.
I attempted to flash a Boost mobile native galaxy s3 running 4.1.2 to Pageplus last night. Got voice and text working fine, however, cannot get data up and running, even 1x.
Loaded Pageplus Prl, and tried to *228 to no avail. Also tried manually change the settings in the paid version of cdmaws, under the 'evdo' section.
The S3 thread was closed, so I thought I would post here, and see if anyone could point me in the right direction? If this is the wrong section, please advise, and I will be happy to post there.
I also read that there is a way to obtain 3g without using a donor, and I thought it may be similiar to sprint to boost flashing using wifi, but that did not work either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Be well.
Anyone???
