My next build will have the changes built in, so it should work out of the box.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Viper32:
Guys I have a few questions hopefully you can help me answer....

I have a Inc2 unlocked.....

I can use a T-Mobile sim card and works great.

Can you tell me why it will not work with a Simple Mobile or Family Mobile Sim?

I put one of those sims that are active in it and it will not detect them....

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mo2002:
just want to make sure this is how it should look
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mo2002:
wo0t!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] aeroevan:
I'm not really familiar with editing your build.prop that way (I usually edit with vi when using adb), but I think you leave the name the same and change the key part.

Or just update to the latest build in my cm9 folder (there was a name change in the file names).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mo2002:
full wipe? please say no
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] aeroevan:
Usually you don't need to, but if apps start FC'ing that means you should do a full wipe.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Well I'm back lol. The Droid 3 sucked, I'm sticking with the Inc 2 :)

Thanks aeroevan for picking up my slack as I was trying out the D3 :)

Apparently someone got the MIUI / AOSP trick for GSM to work with UKB 3.0.1. Can anyone confirm this please?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tinhduong:
used the AOKP build 37, the GSM and 3G worked. For sms, you must change the SMS center number in test mode *#*#4636#*#*
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
And 3g? What carrier, and what number?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tinhduong:
Yes, 3G too.

First, I install AOKP build 37, can call and receive call. But no sms.

I came to test mode, and change the Preferred network type to WCDMA Prefered.

Then I ask my network provider ( Viettel telecom in Vietnam ) about SMSC, then input it, and restart the phone.

Go to setting, add the APN of Viettel telecom, then select Network Setting.

Select Preferred network as GSM/UMTS mode.

Now, I can send and receive SMS. The data connection in status bar display sometimes 3G, sometimes H. The speed average 500-600kbps (tested by download application from GG play ):)

----------------------------------------------------------

Have just came back to 2.3.x, moded by Nitsuj, because the backlight button in AOKP doesn't work, the camera is sometimes all black, and sometimes the rom is too lagggggg

Droid Incredible 2 bootloop after .98 hboot downgrade

Help please! I am working with a Droid Incredible 2. This phone came with a 0.98 hboot. I downgraded to a 0.97 using the Tacoroot method. I haven't been able to continue on to getting S-off because I am now experiencing a bootloop at the "slide to unlock" screen. I can make it to the bootloader and after doing a "factory reset" I am not met with a bootloop. After my first reboot and on, I am met with this very same bootloop. Can someone PLEASE help?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] moddernate:
+1 I'm in the same boat brotha. I just had to get my from set up the way I wanted, do nandroid backup, mostly to remove bloat, factory reset and then let Google restore my apps. So far I'm good I've had 2 random reboot/loops and had to repeat the above. For sure anytime I reboot to recovery it loops and I have to restore and reset. Hope this helps. Please ANY DEV THAT WANTS A CHALLENGE HELP US FIX THIS ISSUE! I'm not new at this and am pulling my hair out trying to understand why this is happening.

Just reread your post and realized you aren't s-off yet......sorry I am having the same issue even though I successfully s-offed and flashed recovery and custom rom, well roms actually, even restoring old nandroids does the same thing.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Wish I could help you guys but I've never seen such weirdness.. plus I haven't been using my DInc2 lately
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Back to the Inc 2. But I still can't help.....
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phonetool:
I bought my first dinc2 second hand and didn't activate it for a few weeks. When I was finally ready to activate, I found the device hadn't been released from the previous owner's number.

Verizon said the previous owner must request a "dummy" number be assigned before I could activate it on my number.

The previous owner walked away from Verizon.

Sadly, I could no longer get in touch with them to help me out.

I'm wondering what I can do with the non-activated phone. Can I get it on a SIM network?

It's rooted and works on wifi, but it's not a functioning "phone".

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] homers1:
I'm still using a WM6.5 phone and want to switch to a droid phone. The thing that I use the most is the capacity to bounce between CDMA and GSM networks using a prog called SwitchMode. It essentially allows me to force the preferred network mode on the fly. Is there a similar app for the Dinc2? It looks like it might be a good upgrade for me. TIA.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
I've never heard of one, and believe me I looked for one. The best I got is using the *#*#4636#*#* trick to force it
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Some roms just have the ability to switch in Settings/mobile networks though
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] homers1:
LiquidSmokeX64 - THANKS!!!

I'm going to have to research the ROMs a bit more. I think it'll be worth the buy for a dinc2. I would like the dinc4, but I won't be able to switch networks without physically swapping SIMS, I think. Either I have to manually play with settings, or I have to switch cards...either is a pain. Have to see which is less a pain.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] forgiven90:
If your talking about 2 different carriers, and each having there own SIM, check out MagicSim. It's a dual SIM card adapter. I'm using it with my Dinc2 and loving it (28th cut version). Although it would very likely work with the Dinc4 also. ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] homers1:
That's worth looking into. I'll fish around and see if anyone is using this on and LTE network sim setup yet. Can you spot a URL for purchase? There seems to be some real and some fake about.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] homers1:
It looks like the Dinc4 uses a microSIM. Bad news for multiSIM adapters.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] forgiven90:
Ahh, you should know if u checked it out. I know magicsim offers an adapter for the iphone, and I'm under the impression that it uses the micro sim :confused:

Anyway it's a good idea that very likely won't work with every phone :o
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] homers1:
There is a MagicSIM for the iphone, unfortunately, with side-load SIMs, there doesn't seem to be a way to internalize 2 SIMs. What you end up with is a dongle. It could proabably hide under a case though.

Still haven't seen if it works in a 4G environment anywhere yet. I don't know enough about it to guess.

Liquid, when you use stock rom, what kind of data did you had ? 3g or 2g ?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Edge, 2.5g
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tinhduong:
So, it depends on our service provider :(

Some device like HTC inspire only have 2.5G in my country, but Inc 2 can get 3G and H :p
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
The inc2 will only get 3g on Verizons network. Not sure exactly why
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] homers1:
Here's a description of LTE (Verizon's 4G). It explains a bit about why the hardware needs to change to be compatible.

Whate is LTE? | ExtremeTech
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tinhduong:
I think that the reason here is your service provider only support HSDPA 850 / 1900, but our Incredible 2 is HSDPA 900 / 2100, so it doesn't work with your 3G Connection.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thatotherguy..:

GSM Data access issues

Hey Guys,

I am using Droid Incredible 2 in India. Got it unlocked for GSM and my GSM sim is working fine. The only thing is I am not able to access data on my phone. I have added the APN setting from the service provider but still I am not able to access data. Any help?

Regards,

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] fistsafire:
i had my incredible 2 unlocked by cellunlock[dot]net. it was $20 and somehow had a 50% off discount code, so it was only $10. maybe you could search for discount codes for unlocking.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Not a clue. I don't deal with foreign apns

Hey Liquid I just got the gsm unlock code for my phone via vzw text. I read the op but idk how to actually unlock my phone
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] woodmaster:
I followed the steps in the OP, but simply cannot seem to get GSM working. I have an activated Straight Talk(AT&T bands) SIM. I loaded a stock-ish ROM and successfully unlocked the SIM with my code. Then I restored my backup of Condemned CM7. It doesn't recognize the SIM no matter what I've tried. I double checked that it's properly inserted in the slot. The phone says Please insert a SIM card on the lock screen. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Letitride:
Have you tried Nitsuj17's Sense 2.1/3 Stock Rom 4.5/Sense 5.0 or 5.0.1 Ext.4 - or Sky Raider's Zeus v1.3 - both of them works with T-Mobile prepaid and AT&T Gophone prepaid, and, with my oversea/traveling GSM rom on CMHK (that "roam" here in the US on AT&T and T-Mo) - data speed will be 2G/Edge/GPRS ?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] woodmaster:
I tried many ROMs, SRZ 1.3 among them. All don't recognize that a SIM is inserted. I put in a trouble ticket with s/t, as I believe I may have a faulty SIM. I just wish I had another phone available to me to try it in...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Well what I did was make a nandroid of the rom you're on atm. Then flash a stock rom (preferably the 6.10 one Condemned posted).

Then in Settings/Security there should be an option to enable/disable the sim lock. Just go in to that and enter your unlock code, it will reboot and you're golden after that, restore your nandroid or whatever the unlock is permanent.

Hope this helped, pm me if you need any help :)

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Letitride:
SR's Zeus is our all-time favorite, spouse is using it on her's - solid & easy to use, excellent battery life - 3 days plus on moderate use.

Another rom that's very similar and equally solid, easy switching for GSM - in case you haven't try it - is Nitsuj17's Sense ROM, plenty of customization & proven - it can be overclocked & also very good on battery life - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1219471

Related & off-main topic, curious to know if you are getting full 3G speed in India on whatever local network Sim card or just Edge/GRPS or 2G/2.5G speed ? Ours unlocked for GSM and one is on China Mobile prepaid Sim card, and "roaming" here in the U.S. on AT&T's home network (fallback to T-Mobile USA if unavailable) but only 2G/2.5G so it's "slow" but thanks to working "WiFi" - it's usually not a problem when we travel.

Have an extended oversea trip being planned for later this year to China & Hong Kong so if the DI2's hardware are solid, I might actually leave the "old" Sony W995 home & saved a few ounces with the carry-on - I will still have access to global roaming CDMA via Verizon partner's "Orange" network (at ultra expensive rates, of course)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Linch89:
I'm still pretty new to the whole sim card/ gsm area. I recently unlocked my phone and I put in an att sim. I'm using 3G now is that ATT 3G or Verizon still? This is a super serial question so please take it easy on me
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Letitride:
What kind of (OEM or stock ?) custom ROM are you running now with this Sim card? Prepaid or postpaid/contract with AT&T as in either cases, you need a data bundle or plan for broadband connectivity - unless you are wirelessly tethered to WiFi only?

When you phone is in standby mode, the home/screen should display what network you are on (Verizonwireless or AT&T) and you should be on the same data network, as the device doesn't split up its voice and data between CDMA and GSM?

Is your 3G indicator on and flashing while you are doing mobile browsing? Go to mobile.speedtest.net and you can confirm your actual d/l and u/l speed . Since carriers have imposed data gaps & charges for going over, you should "monitor" your usage to avoid nasty billing surprises, LOL.

It has been discussed that unlocke DI2 can only get 2G or 2.5G speed on AT&T USA connections only due to band frequencies used and hardware. I have used both T-Mobile & AT&T prepaid Sims in our 2 DI2's and we only get Edge and GPRS speed on the device, which is slow as defined by most users.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Linch89:
I'm running aeros cm10 07-27. The network indicator at the bottom of the notification pulldown says Verizon but I have an ATT sim inserted currently. The lockscreen says Verizon as well. I do not have any plan with ATT I just got the ATT sim from my friend. The data never flashes. The SIG bars say 3G and data speeds seem okay. Thanks for the reply bro :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Last I knew CM 10 wasn't GSM ready yet. But to check you could dial *#*#4636#*#* then check the network mode. It should say AT&T not Verizon
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] forgiven90:
I just did a fresh install of aeros latest CM10 w/ version 12 kernel and gsm works for me, calling anyway. I can't get the APN to save after I reboot... BTW my carrier is displayed correctly.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Good to know. Glad it does :). Now with the apn. Did you put default,supl in the apn type? I noticed that if you don't it disappears

Guys, is there actually ANY ROM with GSM fully working? I'm on Argentina, no other thing than GSM here, and I'm sick of the stock rom.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Letitride:
For rooted, unlocked DI2 - my personal choice of custom Sense-based (2.0/3.0) GingerBread roms for GSM quad-band usage are the following 2 - Nitsuj17's based here at XDA, Skyraider's Zeus v1.3 has its own website - both of them are 99.8% perfect Roms that we are/have used for the past 10 months since we owned 2 DI2's - in black & in red.

Both of them can set to GSM modes only, and stayed as such - only changes needed for 100% working data is to edit the APN settings for your carriers - here in the USA, it worked with both AT&T and T-Mobile, and with my oversea prepaid Sim (CMHK) that roam on AT&T and T-Mobile. WiFi, Bluetooth & Camera work - Market will update to newest Play Store once signed into your Google account, and everything else will update to the latest OTA.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1219471

http://www.teambamf.net/topic/1737-romgb-skyraider-zeus-13-inc2-update-11222011/ - for Zeus, there are links with the website (scroll up the sub-directory) to customized mods, tweaks and themes that can be flashed and zipped & applied.

As always, backup and save your original recovery, roms, etc. first and update on a full battery charge. There are ongoing discussions about working Sense 3.5/3.6 and 4.0 Roms running ICS, ported mostly from Roms designed for other/similar devices that is said to work on the DI2 devices, with varied results - your device might or might not work, as the combination of the "radio" and "kernel" used for this phone might be good for your "home" location, or it might not - including WiFi data access & functionality.

For USA use on GSM bands, we can only use Edge/GPRS or 2.5/2G speed, however, it is possible to access and use 3G bands in countries abroad, including 2,100 Mhz - depending on the mobile phone carrier's APN settings as coded in the *.XML file(s) - broadband speed is excellent over WiFi. Both of them are 100% reliable for daily use, as dependable as the carrier's "stock" rom for this smartphone - actuallly, better-smoother-faster. Quadrant score as high as 1800 vs 1300 or 1400, without overclocking - which is really not necessary, for even better battery life - 40 to 60 plus hours of standby in CDMA mode.

One or both of these GSM/world or global roms have carrier-specified Apps & Widgets such as FriendStream that some consider bloatware, they can be easily frozen and/or uninstalled, using downloaded Apps from the "Store/Play" with no adverse effects or impact on the Rom itself.

Good luck & enjoy.
