xb, the problem isn't the lack of space. It's that the WM5 drivers for the Magician do not exist anywhere. The hacked roms that were made available on this board for other devices happened to be leaked betas or similar, where the original companies HAD gone to the effort of making the drivers. They could very easily make the drivers for the Magician. But we can't.

As such, it's like trying to put Windows Vista on a Windows 3.11 box without new drivers. Most of the 3.11 hardware might work without new drivers, but then again, most of it might not.

what if you use the Charmer ROM?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] hanmin:
As far as I know, internally Charmer is very different compared to Magician. They use different processor, and different ROM structure.

Forget winmo5, I'd like to see Symbian on my Magician.

This is about as likely, however.

SYMBIAN?? Buy a nokia phone then... :)

Why bother with S60? Windows mobile is way more powerful... :)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Ultimate Chicken:
Symbian doesn't hang as often as WinDOS mobile, true. It also has less footprint, true.

However, different Symbians are NOT interoperable, and different versions of the same Symbian are NOT backward compatible. You can NOT use a Nokia N71 app on an N80 the way you could use an app from an O2 xda in an O2 mini. This is WAAAAY more closed a platform than WinDOS mobile 5.

(I know this because I was roped in to find my Nokia 80 friend some apps. A Nokia N phone was a previous choice I had once before I got my Mini through a better deal.)

Attempted backward compatibility is the reason for half of the crashes out there, btw. The score is skewed in Symbian's favor only because it eschews backwards compatibility completely.

Symb's about as valuable an OS as what you use in any ordinary mobile phone. In which case you might as well buy an ordinary mobile phone.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] vijay555:
I've never seen my PocketPC/Windows Mobile phones hang spontaneously as a result of the OS.

Remember guys, that WinCE/WinMob is very distinct from the implementation of drivers and mods made by the OEM. I'm using a Mio A701 right now, and the (alpha/beta?) ROM I'm using is very unstable, and it makes you realise just how stable the Magician is.

I use an enormous amount of DIY mods and non-commercial code, and it makes me realise that crashing the phone is usually the result of badly coded software, not a badly implemented core OS.

So, blame your operator, or HTC, or whoever made the software you're running, before you can say categorically that the OS is as at fault.

I used the p900 for a year, and still love it - my modfied version was still more satisfying then any PocketPC I've used

.

However, that's as a simple phone. What I can do with a PocketPC, its potential (as a result of a very potent and under-used OS) is enormous. So, make it your own, program your own stuff, and be happy. Symbian might have the same potential but each to his own.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s_u_n:
After several long calls with Verizon and help from Motorola insiders, I have been given to understand that:

1. Droid Maxx if not activated on Verizon, before leaving US, cannot be used on other carriers (say in Europe or Asia).

The reason is the SIM unlock cannot be done by the customer support since they won't see the device in their network if it is not activated first.

2. The activation cannot happen outside US, since Verizon does not have a network.

So bottom line is get the device activated before you import it from US.

Now, my Droid Maxx is locked to Verizon. I know the boot loader can be unlocked. Will this help me in flashing something that can get rid of the SIM lock that Verizon has in place.

My device is an employee edition so perhaps there was some extra protection added there by Verizon.

Please help.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidJoe:
I do not have a Maxx, but I'm replying because you PM'd me asking to take a look at this thread..

It has been my experience that Verizon's 4GLte phones are sim unlocked (on the GSM side) out of the box. I thought that was a condition of VZW's 700Mhz spectrum auction win? One potential issue is does the phone support the needed bands out of the box (think Bionic where a hack was needed to enable bands needed for T-mobile).

That being said, if your Maxx is truly SIM LOCKED, then unlocking the bootloader wont help you SIM unlock, nor will flashing a 3rd party Rom after unlocking the bootloader.

where are you located, and who is your carrier? Do they use CDMA for voice, or GSM? What happens when you put a non-VZW sim in the phone?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s_u_n:
Thanks Mark.

The phone Droid Maxx does support these bands since there are others who are using the same phone on GSM networks in the country.

The networks in India are:

2G capabilities GSM 900, GSM 1800

3G capabilities UMTS 2100

4G capabilities LTE 2300 (this one won't work with the phone, plus my carrier does not have it either)

The CDMA is CDMA 2000 - but I have not been able to try with a CDMA SIM, but that one has a higher probability of working.

When I put a non-VZ SIM, and set to Global mode, it does not detect any signal and the search network does pretty much nothing. The automatic mode tries to connect but then throws an error saying "can't connect to this network at this time"

I am using a brand new nano SIM card (which now is back in my Moto Defy with an adapter.)

Earlier I had a normal SIM converted to a nano SIM and that one did not work, but after I put in APN manually, I was able to access data.

I tried another user's cut-nano SIM and that one worked for data out of the box (another GSM provider).
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanagadeepan:
Ditto for me, but I am using DroidMini... I also have DroidMAXX which is working great (even unlocked its BL and rooted it)...

I am also from India... Using it in GSM networks... I may get one Nano CDMA SIM to test later and will report here for sure...

Thanks...
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s_u_n:
Well, we have interacted on Rimweb recently.

The radio on the Droid series is the same. The difference between the mini and the maxx in your case is that the mini has never been activated on VZ network and hence it is SIM locked. Whereas, the Maxx would have been purchased as a used item (perhaps just activated and then sold off?). So that takes care of the SIM unlock part.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s_u_n:
Yesterday I spend around 60 minutes with global support, VZ.

I escalated the issue to the supervisor.

He checked and said that the IMEI is clean and not in any sort of negative list. So there is nothing else that they can do.

He also said, the phones are unlocked by default for global use.

Obviously they don't want to dig deeper into why three phones are not working on GSM in India.

I am now running out of avenues. Does anyone have some debugging tool which can log what is happening when the phone tries to log on to the network?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidJoe:
The current Droid Maxx that Verizon sells supports the following..

LTE Band 13/4 700/1700

EDGE/GSM: 850/900/1800/1900,

HSPA/UMTS: 850/900/1900/2100 (download speeds to 42.2 Mbps, upload speeds to 5.76 Mbps

From what you listed, the Maxx should get GSM/Edge/HSPA/UMTS coverage there. And of course, no LTE.

The CDMA side of the Verizon phones is still "locked" so I also would not expect CDMA to work. In other words, if your carrier NEEDS CDMA, stop trying.

I've been through this with some trying the Moto X in India, and I've been through it while trying my T-Mobile and ATT sim's in my Verizon Moto X.

From what you are describing, it sounds like your APN settings for your carrier on the phone are not set right.

Example... When I put my T-Mobile SIM into my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4, I get "unknown sim" and bars, but no network connectivity. Nothing works. By going into the mobile network settings on the phone and adding an APN with the T-Mobile settings, features like calling, SMS, data, etc. start working. I have had occasions where I thought I had the APN right, as calls and data worked, but MMS only partially worked (would send but not receive). When I do have the settings right, everything works. Similar thing happens on my Moto X with T-Mobile SIM.

---------- Post added at 07:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 AM ----------

Unless you have an active account with Verizon, and are trying to use their service when traveling, Verizon wont help you. In other words, unless you are trying to get your Verizon phone, working on Verizon's Global Roaming service, on your currently active Verizon account, they wont help you.

Even if you are a Verizon customer who is just traveling and popped out your VZW SIM in favor of using a local prepay sim to save data/voice costs, once you pop that VZW SIM out, they wont assist.

But you have received confirmation of what I said.. the GSM side is unlocked.

The SIM you are trying to use is from a GSM India carrier? As long as they only use GSM (no CDMA required), your only hope will be working with them. Telling them your phone is SIM Unlocked and going from there. Or finding a local message board for the carrier, and hope people are discussing use of "3rd party" phones, and you might get some help there.

I really think it will come down to the APN settings for the GSM carrier not being correct on the Maxx.

I can't offer any more than that. Sorry.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidJoe:
Right, you got just DATA working with the APN settings, but the correct APN settings are also needed for SMS, MMS, Phone calls, etc.

I've had an issue where I had voice but no data, and it was related to APN. I've had an issue where I had voice, SMS, data but no MMS, again, it was related to APN settings for the carrier you are using.

So good luck!

the problem we sorted out to get gsm working in india first the phone must be activated on usa to get it work on india so can anyone help us > [MENTION=4938475]s_u_n[/MENTION]
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s_u_n:
So, after using the phone for a week on GSM with all application updates installed, I can safely state that

1. Verizon activation is not needed for non-VZ networks to work (at least outside US).

2. A full FXZ was installed and it probably solved the modem configuration mess that the phone might have been. Perhaps it unlocked something?

3. Four corner activation bypass method was used (as described in earlier Motorola phones).

Either 2 or 3 solved the problem

There was nothing to do with APN. Data works even without any APN settings out here, just like on my Motorola Defy.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HelpFeePlease:
My daughter handed me her nook today, claiming she didnt know what had happened to it. Shes only 8. Anyways it was acting as thought it was brand new and I was having to pick all the factory settings. I thought when i put her gmail address and passowrd init would bring all her games back up but it said it was not a known email address, therefore i had to create an acc giveing her name etc again. The Nook is now all fired up again but she has lost everything, and when i say everything they were all free kids games but I woudl think the Nook would backup the contents and I was wondering if there was anyway I could get it to log in from the most recent backupdatefrom yesterday or previous to that.

I am not technically minded in the slightest and ive tried to read other comments but when it gets to rooted and stock restore etc i get totally lost ! Can anyone help me please ?:fingers-crossed:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Assuming that your NT was running stock ROM, what most likely happened is your NT had somehow failed to boot/reboot 8 consecutive times -- a condition which triggers a reset to factory-fresh state. If you enter the same BN login/password that was used when the NT was originally registered you should be able to re-load all the apps/games previously downloaded/purchased from BN app store, although all apps' personal settings and data (such as saved game data) would still be lost and need to be re-entered.

To facilitate restoral in the future, you might consider using SD-based CWM recovery to backup your stock ROM (including app config) -- see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2575489 -- this type of backup is handy even if you have no plan to root or flashing custom ROM.

Hi,

I am having a problem with the network. I am currently using Idea mobile network and when I use WCDMA only option, I do not get any signals and also, when I am trying to use an aircel sim, I do not get any signals at all... is there any problem with the device?.. when I search for networks manually, I am able to see only airtel and idea in the list of networks... is amaze not compatible with vodafone or aircel or the various networks available....

When I try to use Data connection also, it is only connecting in 2g mode and not 3g... plz help.
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
Amaze is compatible with frequencies:

Data:

HSDPA+ (4G) 42.2 Mbit/s, UMTS, EDGE

Have you had ANY phone work on the idea network properly? Same with the airtel?

For starters, switch from WCDMA only to Auto or GSM/WCDMA.

How about ask your local service person for the correct settings, or hopefully someone on this board who lives in your area can post theirs.

Is there an OTA specific to your phone?

While not the case with you currently, it may be important if you travel--there are some areas where certain carriers don't have that coverage:

I am currently using idea network which is working fine with 2g but not 3g... when I try to search for available networks manually also, I am able to see 2G networks for idea, airtel, vodafone, and bsnl (aircel and some others again missing) and no networks at all when in wcdma only mode... when I switch to wcdma only, the idea network also vanishes completely....

There are many Indians in amaze forum and former members, reach out to them and see if any one of them used your carrier, and see if they had the same issues or not
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
Aircel uses 900 and in some places possibly 1800. Do you have a data plan? Have you spoken with a support person with any one of your carriers--they're used to things like this and getting in the proper settings. I would strongly recommend that.

Check the Settings->About Phone to find out which version of android you have, and if you are running a custom ROM or not.

Do all of that first--make sure you have a data plan, speak with a support person, find out a little about your phone.

If you are stock check with your support person if there is an upgrade for you, also.

If you are NOT stock, you might want to go back to the Stock GB or ICS (remember to update the radio also) so your phone will be basic and stable, to be sure it will work at all with data. Once you've determined if it will work with data, then you can try one of the custom ROMs if you like, but NOT JellyBean or KitKat, as they are all problematic.

Check this post for instructions:

[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:

I think it should still work. The tech should be able to give you settings regardless of the device origin--you're still paying for a plan, and some support should come with that.

Nevertheless, check this to make sure you have the right settings.

You "may" also have to call T-mobile and ask for unlock code for your phone--they will ask you for the IMEI.

I don't know if necessary, but have read something to that effect--that in using the Amaze 4G in another country, you need to have the phone unlocked. I'm sure someone else on the boards here will let us know.

The back cover houses the antenna, and yes, it could be the antenna, but unless you have another back cover to test it with, it will be best for you to check the settings first, and then see if it needs to be unlocked.

Then come back here with what you've learned--it'll help me learn too.
