[Motorola Droid 3] Enigmafied:
Hello,

I have the Droid 3 with Verizon, unlocked, with verizon vodafone sim activated. I am currently in Canada, and am wondering why it will not connect to GSM/HSDPA towers.

If I go into the wireless and networks -> mobile networks -> Operator selection the phone will show me Rogers 2G, Rogers 3G, Bell, and Telus networks.

I also get this error for all three in the drop down menu, the name just changes:

No service

Selected network (CAN Rogers wireless inc. 3g) unavailable.

I have all the APN's entered for all three of those carriers, and can select them with an application named APN Manager, however none of those APN's show up in my wireless and networks -> mobile networks -> access point names. Both the vodafone APN's are unselected though.

I am looking to get on this GSM/HSDPA network, as when I am out in the country there is only 1x dial up internet on CDMA, and HSDPA available in the country.

If anyone can help me out, let me know!

Thanks much, in advance!

I have posted this exact same question at Howardforums. Here is the link to that thread:

/showthread.php/1736801-Q-Droid-3-GSM-Roaming

You will have to first go to howardforums website, then add the above part

Forgot to mention: I tried a Rogers and a Telus sim card and they both got calling service.
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
Not sure if Verizon has roaming agreement with any of the Canadian GSM networks. You can roam using CDMA here without any problem. I believe Telus is backing up Verizon here when it comes to CDMA.

If you want to use GSM you can put a SIM from any of the operators here (except AWS ones) and you will be fine since you have unlocked phone. Cheaper to use too, of course if using local SIM is an option for you. If you will be using local SIM you will need to define APNs or you won't get data connection. Head over Google for the settings for each of the operators here (Canada)
[Motorola Droid 3] Enigmafied:
Thanks Leobg. I believe you are right that there is no roaming agreement for GSM, which makes sense. Verizon lady told me otherwise :(

This phone is going back though, as I was looking for some HSPA while in the country.
[Motorola Droid 3] dlucio:
I was using Droid3 and Droid4 with Mexican SIMS, IUSACEL and TELCEL without problem. Now Im at Canada and Rogers SIM doesnt work on both phnes. I guess they are locked, can you describe me how to unlock where i do purchase unlocking codes?
[Motorola Droid 3] Allan Guigan:
reply

If you are on a contract with Verizon, you can ask them for unlock code,

Insert a sim card which it ain't accepting, enter the unlock code and its done.

Don't forget --- Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode -> GSM/UMTS

But I believe once unlocked, Verizon doesn't work on it.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
It sounds like the SIM. Or try switching to CDMA. I think the Canadian carriers still have CDMA on their towers (used to a few years ago) and maybe that's the roaming the lady means.
[HTC EVO 3D] lcars123:
Every AOSP Rom I install (MIUI, and CM) freezes. It locks up hard. The only thing I can do is pull the battery and reboot the phone or do the three fingered salute. It seems to happen after I restore my apps from titanium but I don't run the rom long enough to know for sure. Any suggestions?
[HTC EVO 3D] mazook98:
Don't reinstall HTC system apps.

(or any HTC apps whatsoever, actually).

Hope this helps.
[HTC EVO 3D] lcars123:
I don't restore any of the HTC apps. I actually don't even back up the HTC System apps. Not sure what to do :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] mazook98:
Try reinstalling your user apps with the "app only, no data" option, and see if that works for you.... Then, if it does, just go back in a restore data to the ones you really need. If you get a crash after one, then you've identified the culprit.

[Venue Pro General] Erchino:
Hello,

I am one of the many users who have updated to the Beta version of Mango. Now that the official version of Mango has released, I want to update to that, but I don't know if I should restore to Nodo or not.

Even though I have the Beta version on my phone I actually do get the notification that there is an update ready and all I have to do is click on "Update" for the process to begin, but I don't know if I should do the update considering I have on my phone the beta version.

Should I restore to Nodo and than update or will the update succeed if I update with the Beta version of Mango? Does it matter which way I do it?

Thanks!
[Venue Pro General] Zurvv:
just update to the final via zune.

there is no downside.
[Venue Pro General] huzii:
Hi, I got the same question as Erchino and Zurvv's comment is not very clear.

I have the mango beta version installed and the Zune 4.7 build which was required for it. Previously it was told to revert back to Nodo before installing the official version of mango, but now I get the update option when connected to zune so does that mean i dont need to go back to Nodo?? Also do i need to update my zune (4.7) before updating the phone?

Could someone please write down the steps to go from mango beta to the official version.

Thank you.
[Venue Pro General] MJCS:
Install latest version of zune to be safe.

Upgrade

MANGO!

Step 1 - Getting CWM on the phone:

Download the file from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?57njygc8oianjac

Or here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130524

1) Turn on your phone while holding VOL+ and VOL- (should come up with pink/purple screen)

2) Connect the USB cable

3) Go to My Computer and Browse your phone to find the folder name "image" that contains recovery.img.

4) Copy all the contents of the folder "image" on your computer (this will be your backup)

5) Replace the recovery.img with the one you've downloaded.

6) Remove the USB cable and take the battery out of the phone.

7) Now Hold Vol+ and Power, to boot into CWM recovery.

Step 2 - Installing a custom rom:

1) Boot your phone as normal, connect the USB cable and mount the SD Card.

2) Browse the phone and copy the Custom Rom.zip ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/u8800oxygen/files/ ) file into the root folder of the SD card.

3) Disconnect the cable and turn off the phone. Boot into CWM Recovery by pushing Vol+ and power.

4) Go to Backup option and do a full backup of the existing Rom. (this will enable you to go back to what you have now, in case the installation fails)

5) Select the "Install zip from SD card" and browse the Custom Rom.zip file, using Vol+ and Vol- or the soft keys if required to go back. To select something in CWM use Power button.

6) When installation has finished, reboot the phone and you're done.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radelaide:
My X10a (Telstra) has been having a few issues of late. I'm running a stock 2.1 ROM that isn't rooted. At the moment, I can't get my phone to come out of Airplane Mode. When I click on the menu option, it greys out, says "Enabling Data Connection" then ticks itself again.

Last night my phone crashed in the middle of a phone call and wouldn't turn back on for about 20 minutes either.

Any ideas? If you need anything else about my phone, let me know.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WillKennerley:
I'm running CM7 v1.0.1, I have just wiped my phone and performed a lean install, I did not have the below problem with the 7.1 RC.

My problem is, the moment all my apps are detected on my SD the phone freezes. I can't lock/unlock and the phone won't reboot (unless battery is removed). I'm guessing one of my apps gets upset because it's on the SD, so it freezes my phone. Anyway to know which app? Or do you know any other cause?

Thanks, :confused:

[Motorola Photon 4G] Jason.William:
Hey guys. I was going to update the developer thread but I do not have enough posts, so I have to start a new thread.

I've been following the Bounty thread to unlock our SIMs for ATT in the US, and saw this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18293197&postcount=73

Based on their answer, I took a chance and spent the $20. The bottom line? No, they cannot unlock it. When I put an ATT sim in the Photon, nothing happens. According to the UnlockMotorolaIMEI guy, my Photon should have prompted me for a code. It didn't.

I advised him of this issue, asking for further help or for a refund. Here's the response:

"We are sorry sir about this... But we don't know how the things are going on all the networks on the globe.

If you buy a book and after that we realize that the book is not helping you to do something... you can not go back and tell to the seller that it is not helping you...

Do you think that is fair for us to lose the money because of your fault. We are reselling the code. We bought the code from the supplier that will not understand this problem... If I refund you than I will pay for your mistake.

Thanks for understanding. And in future if you will need another code for some phones... I will make you a big discount! This is what I can do...

Gino"

Somehow this has become my fault, despite Gino's assurance originally that yes he could unlock our SIMs for ATT.

I'm hoping they step up and offer me a refund. But as of right now that doesn't seem likely. I will definitly update this thread should they come thru.

But either way, the moral of the story is this only confirms what we already knew: that the GSM radio's firmware is written to ignore any ATT tower in the US, and therefore no "unlock" code is going to help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
This been been known. Our phone is already "unlocked" to every country except the US Domestic GSM carriers. And for it to become unlocked a new radio will have to be written, or stolen if possibly from another countries device.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jason.William:
Agreed. But I'm an optimist :p. So when Gino originally said yes he could unlock it, I figured it was worth the risk. Turns out it wasn't.

Hopefully this helps other newb's avoid losing any of their money.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jason.William:
More from the Unlock guy. He's obviously confused.

"Hi,

We can unlock Motorola Photon and the unlocking code we've sent you unlocked your SIM, meaning that you can use an international SIM card or other carrier SIM (not just Sprint SIM) in your phone.

The problem I think you have with your phone is the firmware for the GSM radio. Unfortunatelly we only offer unlocking codes, we don't handle firmware issues.

If you would have first solved the firmware issue, you would still need an unlocking code in order to be able to use your handset with other carriers.

G."

I've tried to set him straight, but I think something is getting lost in translation.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jason.William:
Good news! It took a bit of back and fourth but they refunded me in full. So no harm no foul.

Now, about that bounty... ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] rohit3192:
Now, donate the amount to some developer for the work they are doing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jason.William:

The recovery with all the colors is romracer's, which can be downloaded here. It's generally the one most people recommend using. It sounds like you need to delete your install-recovery.sh file to get rid of that exclamation point. Try the following from romracer's thread:

I had the same problem before I installed romracer's CWM. It's the only one I've used since. If you decide to install his, Rom Manager should recognize it and allow you to use it instead of its stock one. Just don't flash CWM from within the app after that, or I think it will overwrite romracer's with the stock Rom Manager one.
