I started with a working iphone 4 on AT&T. Two weeks ago I went crazy and bought an AT&T Galaxy S II off of ebay. I popped in my micro sim (using adapter) and it works great! I have constant hsdpa+ service even in some pretty rural areas!
In any case, I was having so much android fun that I decided to buy an unlocked Motorola XT910 to try it out. So far, not so good. Using the same sim that works in both my iphone and gs2 will not connect to AT&T's data network. I have 4-5 bars of signal, but I seen no letter network indicator (may be normal, I don't know) and network apps report 'no data connection found'.
So, is there some secret or trick I need to do to this XT910 to make it work with AT&T? I'm new to this forum and android in general, so please forgive me if I'm doing something totally stupid. Thanks!
The RAZR XT910 supports GSM 850/900/1800/1900 and W-CDMA 850/900/1900/2100 so it should work with AT&T...
Did you set the APN up correctly?
Razr XT910
You need to manually add the AT&T APN under network settings. Google APN settings for AT&T and it should work.
Make sure your APN settings is correct.

I will try that tonight when I get home and let you know how it works. Thanks!
You guys are great! I setup everything based on what I found on a google search and now everything is working great. The Razr is actually a little faster on HSPA+ than the Galaxy S2. The max speeds I got on speedtest.net are:
Galaxy S2: 3487 D/L 1129 U/L
Razr: 3909 D/L 1101 U/L
Thanks again!
Hey guys,
New member here looking to do the same as resotek and try to set up a droid razr for at&t.
Resotek, or anyone if you could help me out...after adding the APN settings for at&t does everything work meaning internet, pic messages, wifi, etc
Thanks in advance
I've never seen HSPA+ on my xt910, only HSPA with ATT. I have the standard wap.cingular apn. Is there something special you have to do with apn settings to get HSPA+?

Yes, the phone works like a champ and I have no known issues. Check your PM.

I'm also getting an xt-910 and I just want to make sure I use the right apn settings. Will I use the ATT ptt settings, like for a Samsung Infuse or can I use the apn settings for a Samsung Skyrocket?? Looking at the bands the phone supports I think I need to use the same settings as the Infuse but I just want to check.

Bumpskies.
Just looking for some confirmation of the correct apn.
Also, can I just cut my Skyrocket sim and use that or do I need to get a micro sim from att?
Thank You

u can cut it, but i bought a SIM card puncher From Amazon that did a perfect job. i kept the punched off piece to place around the new micro sim to use in my other phones.

Thanks for the response about the sim card. I figured as much about a cutter, I just didn't want to buy a cutter for one sim. But it's not expensive so I may just spring for it haha
sigh ;(
bought the xt912 without realizing and now im searching and searching with no luck to unlock it...any one figure out if theres a way?
thanks
So a Verizon Razr won't work like this or what would have to be done if anything? Looking to buy one to use on AT&T

i dont think the verizon razr (xt912) will work but the global one (xt910) should be good to go.
For the xt910 you just put in the ATT APN settings and your good
I'm on the Att network and mine (xt910) is working fine, works much better after I called Att and gave them the imei number?
Since I came from using a SGS2...but yes it works!

Don't usually post since I am Moto employee, but you guys should know - there is no difference between 910 and 912 aside from SW. I can take a VZ retail device out of box, flash with a GSM AP and pop in an AT&T SIM (using now)

Bought my dad a replacement Photon 4G off of Amazon. Tried to do a ESN swap online and was instructed to call Sprint. They're saying that the ESN on the phone is not showing up in their system. Now I'm no newbie when it comes to phones. I've sold almost every carrier there is and I've been rooting,flashing, unlocking and jailbreaking device for a couple of years now. But I'm looking at a almost brand-new looking, Sprint branded, Sprint bloatware loaded Motorola Photon 4G. I've searched high and low on here (XDA) and everywhere else online to no avail. Any ideas? By the way I did contact the seller and the phone was a warranty replacement and emailed me a copy of he paperwork from Motorola
I'd take it in to a Sprint store and have them give it a shot. Unless the ESN is bad (doesn't sound likely), it should work fine.
Try Ting.com see if it there's.

My phone was the same way. Neither recognized by Sprint or Motorola. Turned out that my phone was likely a development phone for testing gsm and had a unique radio. You might have to use yours on a gsm carrier whether or not the baseband you have is unique. Just out of curiosity, what is your phone's baseband?

That is different from mine. If you can use a gsm carrier for this phone, you could flash the kidi radio and use any gsm carrier you like.

Wouldn't work because my dad has Sprint. Anyhoo the seller sent me another Photon and allowed me to keep the first one. Now my dad is up and running. I'll take your advice and flash the kidi radio for it but I'd still like to know what's up with the original phone.. Thanks!

Kinda sounds like someone mighta swapped the wrong sticker for the ESN .. If it doesn't show up in the system. Glad you got another one.
So i bought a samsung galaxy note off a guy on craigslist about 3-4 weeks ago and today i noticed i didnt recieve any calls or texts from anyone, so i checked my phone and could get a signal at all, so i reset the phone to factory using kies and now it says, Phone Not Allowed MM#6 and i cant connect to any network
someone please help and tell me what i can possibly do to solve this issue
I did a little research and it could be a few things... Either you've gave the carrier the wrong IME number or the phone was reported lost or stolen by the original customer... I would call the carrier the phone is for and ask them. Also if the original owner hasn't paid his phone bill the carrier can lock the ime from being used... I've heard a lot of people buying phones on Craigslist like that...

so it's an AT&T note and you're using it on Tmobile right? have you tried an AT&T sim? If you don't have one available to you, I think you can go into an AT&T store and ask them if they can do a quick check for you. Be sweet, apologetic for using their time, maybe send your gf in to flirt with them a little they'll more than likely give you a hand.

What modem is showing in the phone ? (needs blaze modem for TMO, if it's an ATT device)
And are your APN settings correct ? (needs the TMO apn's)
Two nails in the coffin for service if not correct.....
just brainstorming....g
And sometimes the network around you has a brain-fart. Sometimes those problems go away within a day.
Everything seems fine I restored it to stock thru kies, but I went to att and tried a live sim and it worked like I should its for some reason only T-Mobile Sims that don't work ugh!

Unlock is permanent. Getting t- mobile to work on the at&t version is hit-or-miss.
Its just weird that I had this phone working for over a month now and no problems what so ever till now, and its only T-Mobile Sims that are locked out

I can only assume that if the phone has "AT&T" branded on the front, that at&t would work the best no?
You get the apn settings for straight talk?
If a device is unlocked..the AT&T on the front is now simply just there.

Yes your right. Once unlocked the brand doesn't mean anything. But it doesn't mean it will work on Verizon. Yes it will work on tmobile after some research and reconfiguring. But it doesn't mean it will work "better".

Its not my phone it belongs to a friend of mine he asked me if I could fix it for him. Yes I got the APN settings from straightalk I got a 45$ card and put on the phone. Still no data. Think I will get a T-Mobile sim and a at&t sim and give them a shot.

I would check online both carriers coverage for your area also. One might not have lte or better coverage than the other.

You will need an activated sim from the carrier of choice. You cannot just change APN setting.

You need to know if you got an att or TMobile Sim from straight talk, since it's not working you probably got a TMobile one, that will require Sim unlocking and the addition of a TMobile compatible modem plus the proper TMobile straight talk apn info.

Yes I know, the APN settings have to match the carrier settings before it will work. I sold the i717 to a friend and that friend found someone else that is wanting to buy the phone (because the guy I sold it to can't get the phone to work properly) so hes not wanting it anymore. So the new buyer asked me if i could fix it back it was running ics but after i rooted it it took it down to GB 2.3.6 I THINK. I dont know maybe what im trying to say isnt making any sense sorry. The i717 was the first phone that i ever unlocked,the unlocking part was easy it was the flashing part that got me. I dont have the phone in my hands yet, im just trying to throw out what i remember. I will wait untill i have the i717 before i go any futher.

I have never seen this discussed before but I am in the market for a replacement S4 since my got dropped in water.
I found a S4 that was originally Verizon flashed to Cricket.
Is it possible to flash back to Verizon?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thank you!!
It was probably flashed to Cricket because the ESN was bad on Verizon. I would run an esn check first or ask the seller for it.

Not addressing the my original inquiry. ESN is already checked and clean.
Currently working through this post but looks like I soft bricked it while trying to flash the stock kernel:
droidforums.net/forum/samsung-galaxy-s4-development/243165-how-root-your-verizon-galaxy-s4.html
Now using Software Repair Assistant to get me back to square one. Rooting it is not difficult but I am uncertain what I need to confirm to make sure it is "flashed" to Verizon, not Cricket. I attempted to switch devices on verizon website earlier and it had no problem with the ESN but I could not get the phone connected to the Verizon network to accept a call so I switched back to my old backup device again.
Am I going at it the right way?
You never said you already checked the ESN. If you updated to the latest firmware, you're SOL.

UDPATE AND NEXT QUESTION:
I am rooted but the S4 does not appear to have the current Verizon radios flashed (it is not connecting to the verizon network).
Does anyone have the latest .zip or .tar file that will flash the radios to a Galaxy S4??
I am comfortable with either format and using ClockWorldMod or Odin to get the job done.
Or am I still SOL??
Thanks!!
