Resolved. Quick phone call to carrier. Needed to be activated with a signal.
Did anyone here with AT&T have a hard time getting the phone to activate?
I set the whole thing up over wifi with no Sim and used it for a couple of hours with no issues.
I needed my working phone for work so I didn't insert the Sim. When I got home I popped the Sim in and there was no service.
I tried inputting the apn and settings manually. The service would pop on then turn back off. I reset network settings. Didn't work.
I factory reset. Didn't work.
Of course a series on reboots, insert/eject Sim...
I've needed to do some work to get phone's activated before but this is different. The wifi turns itself off. The mobile data toggles on and off. And it heats up a bit. I tried doing a factory reset with Sim inserted but then when I tried to set it up, it could not connect to wifi with the Sim inserted. Remove it and wifi works again.
Im probably gonna go to AT&T tomorrow but this is weird. The phone is brand new.
Just thought I'd put it out there. Thanks
