HTC G1 Logo
Posted on Nov 13, 2009

We have a TMobile G1 phone that we purchased as soon as it came out. We have never had any problem with it except for a defective sim card 6 months ago. A few hours ago when playing a game, the screen went blank. The back light was there, the power lights were on the bottom of the phone, but the screen was empty. When attempting to reset it, the phone does nothing. We have taken the battery out, put it back in. We have tried everything. The phone is fully charged. Is there anything you can think of that might cause this? I can't believe it is a complete coincidence, but at the same time we had the problem with the phone, Tmobile was working on our account - changing out the telephone number for the phone. They also discovered a problem with the sim card that they told me we had to fix by replacing the sim card tomorrow. In the middle of all of that, the screen goes blank.

SOURCE: Wet G1 Tmobile htc fell in water a while ago

Don't turn it on until it's dry again.
Maybe it could work again.
If not, you'll need to take to a cell phone fix place.

Call up tmobile, do not tell them you have a rooted phone or that it was modified in anyway, otherwise they will blame it. They will be able to help you get it working by modifying / adding some settings in your phone.

How can I transfer my g1 contacts to my memory card or desktop?

I dont think you can transfer them to a memory card but you can store them onto your SIM CARD as well as sync them to your TMOBILE account. On your phone under settings you should see DATA SYNCHRONIZATION and you should see where it says contacts, gmail, calendar if you select the square auto-syn Your information will automatically sync tmobile website.

Need a free code to unlock my g1 phone please help

It's pretty darn simple: just insert your non-T-Mobile SIM card and then enter in your SIM unlock code. How to get one of those? Simple: T-Mobile has promised they'll continue their policy of offering free unlock codes to customers after 90 days with a phone. If you're in a hurry to get it done faster, there are plenty of places to buy them online. You can even use your G1 to start Googling for them.

Reset G1

Hi, I had that problem. I first verified that my TMobile internet was activated on my account and on my SIM card by putting the card in another phone and connecting to the 'net on it. Then I found the APN setting on the G1 and I changed the APN at the heading "T-Mobile US" from the new 3G APN "epc.tmobile.com" to the older APN "internet2.voicestream.com". The APNs can be accessed on your still-locked phone by pushing the "Menu" button at the sign-in screen. Scroll down to "T-Mobile US", select it and change "epc.tmobile.com" to "internet2.voicestream.com", exit by pushing the left-arrow button a few times, then re-enter your GMail info. If the "Edge" icon has appeared in the menu bar area, then you're golden!
