Help with setup on Wind Mobile - myTouch 3G, Magic General

So my situation is that I have a Mytouch3g (not fender) that I had sent in from the States and would like to use on Wind Mobile in Calgary, Alberta. When it arrived I had it subsidy unlocked and now I'm stuck with the google registration bit but it wont connect and when i looked at the available apn's there weren't any. I can add them but I dont know any of the details for Wind. If anyone knows or if im totally screwed on the google part and need to do something else to get this up and running, any and all advice will be greatly appreciated.
**Follow up **
So I figured it out but in the event someone else has these issues heres how it went down:
Factory Reset on the phone leaves no APN's but if you tap on the Menu button you can create a new one
For Wind Mobile the APN is internet.windmobile.ca and thats it
Give it a name and save it
Activate it by touching the radio button
And 3g is up and running
Ya I know its simple but I googled the google registration thing and I came up with all kinds of nonsense and I didnt know whether I had a real problem or not.
Thanks fer lookin

htc dream

Hi all,
Need some help here. I messed up my phone the other day. I was trying to root it. So I found some instruction on the internet and it told me that I needed to flash my phone with DREAIMG.NHB(think that's what it's called). Also should mention that my phone is a rogers htc dream. The flash worked and now my phone boots up as a t-mobile phone. I go through the Google sign in screen and I get this error message, There is a problem communicating with the Google Servers. This could be a temporary problem or your SIM card may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care.
Any Idea's on how to this fixed?
Thanks,
did you hit Menu then Add APN info ?
yes, unless i don't have the right info. do you know what it is?
thanks,
I don't have Rogers, so I'm not sure, but you might have more luck posting in the Q&A.

How to convince the phone it isn't roaming (Telus UMTS)?

My phone (Topaz 6.5) is running on Telus new UMTS network which is mainly a shared network with Bell. The sim card has two networks in it 302220 (Native Telus) and 302880 (Shared Bell/Telus). The nework I see when scanning for networks is 302880 but the phone always shows the roaming warning triangle.
I have been going through the forum trying to figure out the roaming warning issue without any luck. I have tried multiple tweaks to get rid of the warning like the reg tweak disableroamingindicator but nothing seems to work.
Any ideas on how to disable the warning or even better get the phone to accept that it is actually home.
Thanks!

Tried it in any and all RIL folders and it doesn't work unfortunately.
i have the exact same problem. I haven't found a fix for it yet either...
Sony X1a
I signed up for Telus and have an x1a, I have the same problem. I did however get the LG IQ when I signed up. I was wondering If someone would help me dump the device and maybe there be a cab or we can find the settings to allow other windows mobile devices to show Telus as home.

Did this ever get solved?? I have the same problems on a Tilt 2.
Tilt 2
I still haven’t found anything; I keep searching the net with no success. I got an unlocked Tilt2 on eBay and when I put the TELUS sim card in it didn't show the roaming indicator, it also shows the proper name in the network settings "TELUS UMTS". Once I used Hard-SPL Unlocker for Rhodium and flashed a custom ROM the symbol showed up again. I'm not sure where it is located (Either ROM or radio) that the device things it's roaming.
Anybody else have any ideas?

So this is the exact same problem that I have with my Bell SIM. Any of the cooks got any ideas how we could solve this?
Just curious, does this actually harm any functionality at all? i.e. is it purely a cosmetic issue of the indicator itself appearing?

Most applications restrict data usage if they think the phone is roaming. We can disable this on a per-application basis but if the phone is ACTUALLY roaming then be ready for a very large bill.
Just to add it is just a real pain. And risky if you live near the border.
Same problem here in Austria... Would be very nice if we could find something
regarding this!
So any ideas who might be able to solve is it an HTC problem?
So still no solution on this issue? I am sure LG iQ (a winmo phone) doesn't think it's roaming while on TELUS network. Maybe somebody can pull registry info from it to help us resolve this problem?
It is really annoying as pretty much nothing works without confirming first regarding the roaming.
Tilt 2 Registry
I'm on Telus and have a Tilt2. The original ROM that came with the unit didn't show the roaming triangle. I have attached some screen captures of the ROM. I've attached a copy of the registry (Remove the .cab it was the only way I could get it to upload).
Hopefully somebody can find where the settings are located and hopefully it's contained in the registry.
I have an unlocked Tilt 2 that i bought on eBay. It also says it is roaming. Is it because of the Telus Native + Telus/Bell networks or is there something in the phone that thinks it must be roaming if it leaves AT&T's network?

It's something specific to Telus as these phones on a Rogers SIM do not indicate roaming.
NO since the home network is basically hardcoded into the software.(except OEM unbranded nexus or 1300$ iphone 3gs)
its pretty simple, its the os software that comes on the "carrier branded" software that hides the roaming triangle ie: the fido branded pearl, has no roaming, but the unlocked pearl, with a competitors software will show roaming, can't get any easier than that.
Rogers and Telus PLMN compared
I'm not sure if this will help,
I have attached a picture of the PLMN from a Rogers sim and a Telus sim
Maybe someone knows how to adjust the information on these lists.
Im running into the same problems. Rogers HTC Dream with a Telus SIM. Its not giving me data services though which I find frustrating because I am currently paying for them.

[Q] Wildfire: No Service

I was wondering if anyone can help me.
I recently flashed my phone which I have done many times. I then installed beautiful widgets from a apk off the net. Once I had decided I likes the software I deinstalled it and ever since I have been unable to get network service on my wildfire.
Whenever I try and connect to a network I get:
'Unable to connect to this network at this time please try later'
I am currently on baseband version 13.53.55.24H_3.35.149.25 but I have also flashed later radios and still have the problem.
I have also checked the phone information settings and radio is turned on so unsure where to go from here.
The phone is also unlocked to any network but I have tried a Orange, Virgin and Vodaphone chip and none work.
Cheers for any help ;-)
i was in touch with beautiful widgets developer a few weeks ago, and he mentioned there were 13 different pirated versions that they were aware of, and they were having troubles with them. the first thing he wanted was my google checkout receipt number, i wonder if you have picked up a virus somehow, with a malicious copy.
have you tried restoring a nandroid backup?
Hi
Yes I ran a nandroid restore and I still have the problem. I have also been into the phone's testing menu, phone information and it wont let me select radio band just comes back Set{Automatic] Unsuccessful ;-(
Tried numerous Roms and still the issue.
Will I have to totally flatten phone to get this working?
cheers
Have you checked your apn settings?
I have checked the APN section and I have one for orange internet and one for Orange MMS. I have looked through these settings and everything is blank except when I get to the MCC section.
One thing I have noticed is when In restore or use a new ROM I still have my details for Wireless setup etc so is it really doing a full wipe of settings?
Cheers guys
I have just spoken to Orange and they have informed me that the phone has been blacklisted hence no service. I have had this phone for over 6 months and now they decide to blacklist it even though I paid good money for it and it wasnt stolen...Nice!!!!!
Thanks for your help anyway guys much appreciated
why has it been blacklisted, and how?
The phone has been blacklisted by Virgin as stolen just recently even though I bought the phone over 5 months ago with original Virgin Chip, booklets etc. I have spoke to Orange (my own network) as the original owner is obviously trying to maker a claim which is indeed false.
I am in process of writing a letter to virgin explaining my predicament but I dont expect anything positive of the outcome. Last time I buy anything of a Forum all my own mistake to be fair!!!
Bought a Samsung I5800 just get me back up and running as the wildfire is now just sat at home awaiting to hear what Virgin say as I may sell it as parts.
cheers guys ;-)

MMS

Hello, I know this question has come up many times. I hate to start a new thread about an old topic but im flat out lost. I just switched from my iPhone 4 to a Samsung Focus. It was sim unlocked and running 7.5 mango when i received it. Everything works fine on my carrier (i have a small local carrier) except the mms. Is there any way to edit the MMS settings yet or dev unlock it? Honestly I have no idea even where to start with all this. Any advice is greatly appreciated and again I'm sorry for starting a new thread for this old topic. Thanks
Download network connection from the Samsung zone in the marketplace.
Thanks, but since I posted this I have Dev unlocked the phone and Interop unlocked it so i could do the turn on APN settings. When i do that and reboot it says it cant find my data settings, I think because my carrier doesn't offer 3g and I've been told that edge wont push out the settings. I also tried the Samsung app network profile and it only gives me the ATT option. Any other options for me to get this working?
Thanks for the help
another question...is there any way to edit the ATT profile that the Network Profiles app pick up?
Hello again, I was just wondering if a solution has been found for this problem?

Someone help>APN Issue

I am really hoping someone can help me, I have been reading forums all day with no clear answers.
I purchased a Samsung J3 from Costco, I was using it on the telus network previously and I have currently changed my provider to Rogers. Phone is working for calls and texts but no data I was advised to go in and change my APN, but when I get to the settings>network connections>Mobile networks >> access points. My option to change it is greyed out. I swear I had this issue prior to when I set up with Telus and they were able to get it working. Now however I have spoken to Rogers several times and even gone to the Rogers store and they can’t help me. I’m feeling very stressed out so if anyone has an answer to this or knows if I can be rectified please let me know.
