    Default ENORMOUS PROBLEM with gmail activation, time to toss my G1?


    Ok,

    What you are about to read is the biggest and the only problem that no one wants to have.

    I bought my G1 from ebay and unlocked it. However, here in my poor country (which is very far from USA), there is NO internet over cellphone line available. All you can do with your cell is to call and send/receive txt msg.

    So how in the bloody hell am I suppose to activate my gmail account?? Isn't there a damn way to power on WIFI and input the WEP code so I can then activate the gmail account?

    Please help me

    Btw, if you tell me, "hey dude use your friend t-mo sim card, the trick is all over the internet, it works!", you are officially retarded.

    you said there was no internet over cell phone line? but you have wifi?

    if you have wifi problem solved, unless your in say china and the government does not allow you to use gmail then you have a problem just not with gmail.

    Boot it into safe mode, connect to wifi, and run the setup. You might have to reboot into normal mode for the setup, but this way at least you will have wifi setup. Good luck!

    Mail it to a buddy in the US and have them do the sim card swap thing. Then have them mail it back. I'm sure you could find someone trustworthy on here. ^_^

    What he is saying that he was access to wifi. But he can't get past the activation screen because activation can only be done over cellular data network.
