g1 is so old and parts for it are so hard to find, your better off buying a new phone. But if you really want to get it fixed. most places can fix it if they can find the part. i suggest getting the part from an old broken g1 with the flex still ok. are you in Phil?

well, for you to access you google account you have to have internet connection. so you may have to set up wifi connection. there are links all over the internet on how to do it.

I’m having the same problem as Rochelle…I can’t get past the activation screen. To those using the G1 with Globe, what are the APN settings?

Seems like most g1 initially eats up load even if apps that can eat load are disabled. Resetting to factory default very fixes this .

I brought my G1 from the US to Cebu unlocked. I have a Sun sim loaded in it and every so often I get txt messages from 7210 saying “You do not have enough load to complete this transaction. Please reload immediately,” I usually get 2 or 3 at a time.

I also have Globe and Smart sims, and what I’ve noticed is that it’s normal on Globe and I don’t get any messages, but with Smart it eats the “free txt to any network” that you get when you load it, and with Sun it’s also eating the free txt, and when it gets done eating them it starts sending the messages. Also, if I leave my phone alone and don’t touch it for an hour I won’t get any messages, but as soon as I hit my menu button to wake it up it starts up with the messages.

Is there any way to stop this? or is my phone actively looking for a signal and using txt messages as a way to see if there’s an update available for download?

may prob din ako sa phone ko. binigay sakin ng mom ko as a present on my 18th birthday yesterday. nilagyan ko ng unlock pattern. unfortunately, my friend made a multiple attempts. kaya kinailangan kong i-master reset. naging okay naman. pero nung nasa set up na ko, hiningi yung gmail account ko. nilagay ko naman. pero hindi daw provisioned yung simcard ko for data services. Anong gagawin ko? Pa-help naman po.

Try unpairing:
1) From the main screen, press the Menu button and choose Settings.
2) Select Wireless & networks, then Bluetooth settings.
3) Scroll down to the device you want to delete. Press and hold until a popup menu comes up.
Choose Unpair. This will make the status change from “Paired but not connected” to “Pair with this device.”
4) Reboot the G1.
5) When it comes back up, the bluetooth device will be gone from the list.
6) Rescan and connect

try using your google account.

When you first boot the phone, it will ask for your gmail/google acct to activate, market will normally identify that same acct.

Here is a link which may help you:

If you plan to factory reset your phone, read this thread too:

@maze:

BTW, not sure if paid apps is now available in the Philippines. So far, I know the free ones are available.

Also, please make sure to create your google/gmail first before factory resetting your g1 (or any android phone).

@maze:

Factory data reset your phone so you could use your own google account once it asked you to enter your account info. Remember you have to have an account with google/gmail to have your phone running (create on from PC). Go to PRIVACY > FACTORY DATA RESET. This will however remove all your apps, etc. I think there is a setting there too to back up your data and settings to your SD card.
