Nexus One 3G Connection via Rogers
As of recent, am I the proud new owner of Google’s Nexus One. It isn’t quiet being sold in Canada, but you are still able to obtain them from Google in the US, who will send over an unlocked phone fully compatible with the GSM/HSPA networks we are running here.
This means that you have to set the phone up to work on the Rogers network yourself, and while It should be a simple thing, It definitely had me frustrated for a short while.
Here’s the information you need to know:
You need access point information in the phone to use wireless data transfer. From you’re home screen, navigate to:
Settings > Wireless & networks settings > Mobile network settings > Access Point Names. From this screen, you can click the menu button for a prompt to add a new APN. Do this and fill in the following information.
- Name: Rogers
- APN: internet.com
- Proxy: <not set>
- Port: <not set>
- Username: wapuser1
- Password: wap
- Server: <not set>
- MMSC: <not set>
- MMS Proxy: <not set>
- MMS Port: <not set>
- MCC: (Should already be filled in)
- MNC: (Should already be filled in)
- Authentication type: <not set>
- APN type: <not set>
Hurrah for internet on the fly. We still need one more access point to send and receive Media.
- Name: Rogers MMS
- APN: media.com
- Proxy: <not set>
- Port: <not set>
- Username: media
- Password: mda01
- Server: 172.25.0.107
- MMSC: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
- MMS Proxy: 10.128.1.69
- MMS Port: 80
- MCC: (Should already be filled in)
- MNC: (Should already be filled in)
- Authentication type: <not set>
- APN type: mms
Restart your phone at this point to complete the process.
I’m sure Rogers has this information publicly available somewhere but I couldn’t find it. I did however find a pretty helpful post by them in which they identify the APN information Android phones need, unfortunately for whatever reason It didn’t work for me so I called Rogers tech support and after 20 grueling minutes on the phone, I managed to get hold of somebody competent enough to understand what I was asking for. Hope this saves you a phone call, if you’ve ever had to call a tel-co provider in Canada you know my pain.
