It was sad to just keep watching a phone without even switching it on, It took long for me to get HTC G1 development phone shopped to India, and once i got it after long waiting and excitement i was not able to get in to the home screen or basically cant do anyting with it. G1 needs to have a data connection with the provider to start using, basically we need to login or register new account with google to start working with the phone. I was keep on trying with a BSNL connection with GPRS enabled to get the Android based G1 working. Anyway Atlast i got it working with Airtel connection (Kerala, Kollam) . Here is the APN configuration Information i used. Change the MNC value according to the location you are in.
Name : Airtel (it can be anything, just a name)
APN : airtelgprs.com
Proxy : 202.56.231.117
Port : 8080
Username : <Not Set>
Password : <Not Set>
Server : <Not Set>
MMSC : <Not Set>
MMS Proxy : <Not Set>
MMS Port : <Not Set>
MCC : 404
MNC : 95
APN Type: <Not Set>That is it, once you have the APN settings entered correctly you will see data connection symbol on the top status bar.
It was hassle for me to get it working. So hope this help someone !!!

I tried this on the Google NexusOne. If I change the MNC from the default value of 45 to 95, the APN disappears from the list of APNs (even after save). What am I doing wrong?
ReplyDeleteAnd GPRS doesn't work with the value of 45...
any clues?
MNC (Mobile Network Code) Depends on the provider, Try adding a new default APN, usually it get correct MCC and MNC from the provider network if you are connected. If the codes are not set, try with corresponding provider value from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code#India
ReplyDeleteMore likely the proxy configurations are not necessary, unless the provider requires it. So just try with correct APN, MNC, and MCC and if doesn't work try playing with the proxy and user configurations.
Can you try with APN - www
ReplyDeleteas mentioned in http://www.vodafone.in/existingusers/vbs/pages/mobileconnect_del.aspx?cid=del#2
if it doesnt work add the following proxy informations with www apn and try
Proxy : 10.1.1.100
Port : 9401
Also you can try finiding the APN setting for the corresponding MNC from http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/wiki/APNlist

i am using airtel(kerala).with your settings i was able to use gtalk and gmail applications in my Tmobile G1 but i am unable to browse other websites.how will i resolve this problem??please give your suggestions........
ReplyDeleteHey thanks all
ReplyDeleteFinally I got the data connection working on my Sony Xperia X10 mini pro, on airtel. Actually the main problem was that the Airtel GPRS service itself has to be actiavted which has various rental plans(I got the Rs.98/moth plan activated), after that only the APN setting is required: no proxy, no port!
