But just in case there are some out there experiencing problems, I might have some answers.<br /><br />for the users with an unlocked g1, or even a rooted device, it might be easier to fix some of the issues. For example, the roaming sign atop the signal bar. To remove that, simply flash the latest radio update for your g1. you can find it by googling it.<br /><br />As far as activation of the phone goes, it isn't necessary for a data plan on the 1.6 firmware and later (since they have added a skip button). But on the later ones, I suggest you borrow a SIM with a data plan or get a temporary one from your provider. There IS a way to do it over wifi, but it's too much of a hastle in my own opinion. There are tons of forums out there with instructions on how to do it.<br /><br />As for the APN's, it's always good to keep a list of major provider APN's handy just incase you happen to have their service running on ur phone.<br /><br />I'm currently running a rooted version of the 1.6 firmware on my g1 and on the Fido network. About to switch to rogers on their prepaid unlimited txt and data plan, only because it's better :PAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16458287584385373509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238281577512068166.post-56873739869389229282009-12-14T01:41:52.543-05:002009-12-14T01:41:52.543-05:00On my replacement phone (I "soft"-bricke...On my replacement phone (I "soft"-bricked the 1st one an I'm still waiting to see if I get charged for the refurbished replacement, before I root the new one...)<br /><br />(in french) <br />NOM : Rogers<br />APN : rogers-core-appl1.apn<br />MMSC : http://mms.gprs.rogers.com<br />proxy MMS : 10.128.1.69<br />port MMS : 80<br />MCC : 302<br />MNC : 720<br />everything eles is set to <Non défini><br /><br />No I dont get better 3G reception then with the setting I found here but some of you might!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07457411825822619916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238281577512068166.post-13910472488627726982009-12-07T18:28:30.181-05:002009-12-07T18:28:30.181-05:00Worked for my unocked Anycall Galaxy (Korean Samsu...Worked for my unocked Anycall Galaxy (Korean Samsung) after no luck through official Rogers channels.

T...@steved - There are 2 types of unlocked phones. The most common are SIM-unlocked phones, which can be used with any phone network's SIM card. They're for advanced consumers who want to configure the phone on a network of their choice (instructions for Rogers in Canada are in the original blog post above). You can probably find one of those on eBay pretty easily.<br /><br />There are also developer phones (which are also SIM-unlocked). The flash memory in the phone is unlocked so you can update to a new operating system, you can run as root, etc. Basically, you have complete control of the phone. They are intended for developers building applications and extending the Android OS. Here are instructions for buying and setting up an Android Dev Phone 1: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html#dev-phone-1 They're available for purchase in a number of countries, including Canada, but they come from the US and I think the shipping and taxes may be ridiculously high. So you may want to have it shipped to a friend the US and pick it up there - of course you should pay the taxes when you bring it back to Canada. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06481590670826165789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238281577512068166.post-22880376340089347992009-06-15T21:20:15.518-04:002009-06-15T21:20:15.518-04:00I am a researcher (SFU) in Vancouver - and still a...I am a researcher (SFU) in Vancouver - and still am not sure where to buy a developer g1 in Canada?

After setting the APN as described in an earlier comment, I also had to ensure that I allowed the phone to connect to roaming (non-home) networks before the phone would pass the setup screen.<BR/><BR/>The Fido plans also allow you to use prepaid data instead of the data contract. However, this costs 5 cents per kb ($50 per mb), so its outrageously expensive. The phone will try to sync with g-mail as soon as you finish setting up. You should go into the settings box and disable the roaming networks as soon as possible after setting up, then set up the wireless settings and finish connecting from there.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692374370742701278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238281577512068166.post-1056431901844530142009-02-14T14:55:00.000-05:002009-02-14T14:55:00.000-05:00I have the same question as Thomas.
