Blocking search for Sprint Network on the Photon - Motorola Photon 4G

Bought a Motorola Photon on ebay and using it in India. Everytime I reboot the phone, it`s taking about 3-5 minutes to search for the Sprint network. I`m using the phone on a GSM SIM. Is there any fix for this?

I know a friend who does. His names Google. Him and search hang out together. it's under settings-Wi-Fi- mobile networks. Well depending on your Rom it may be different.

S3 LTE ??

I have the sprint S 3 but there's no 4gLTE in my area, would I be able to get the international version and use that on the sprint network? Cause lte is the reason you can't use the quad core right?

No no no, it won't work. Sprint uses CDMA radios, the international has GSM radios. You misunderstood.
Sprint is cdma but LTE is GSM technology. Just to complicate things.....

In much of the US CDMA coverage is superior to GSM coverage. I almost never do not have at least CDMA for voice. When I was with ATT on a GSM phone that was definitely not the case.
Well maybe TMobile is better. I find with Sprint. I only get service in about 60% of the places I go

Activating Rooted Thunderbolt

Hey guys, I have a rooted Thunderbolt that I'm selling but I was going to sell it with Gingeritis3D on it.
If I reflash the ROM, it will allow its new owner to setup their account on the phone and use it as their own, but I got stuck wondering that if they could even activate it while this ROM was installed.
While Gingeritis3D is the running ROM on this phone, can it be activated online or via customer service line?
If not, how could the phone be activated?
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
It should be able to be activated. They will need to do it over the phone with customer service.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
Thanks man, I knew I would probably receive my answer from you. Lol.
If it can't be activated after calling customer service, does that make it obviously rooted to them or does it throw up some sort of red flag?
Oh, and can they activate it on the SIM card that's in it or will they need to get a new one?
I have no use for the SIM.

You will need a new sim and they won't know its rooted if it won't activate. Just download a sense 2.1 ROM and use it to activate if you have any issues but I don't think you will.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
Alright.
I can go up to Verizon and get another SIM for it that will work for whoever buys it, right? Or do they have to go get one themselves?
I just know they can't take it in there and let them put it in since it would be rooted.
...Or does it even matter to them since the phone has no warranty anyways?
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
It wouldn't matter anyway and yea you could just take it in there and get a sim. Just make sure its a corporate store and not a retailer because they will charge you for a sim.

It can also be done online with no problem. That's how I activated mine with someone's test Rom on it. All you need to do online is enter the esn and the sim card number to register and activate the sim card.

Gotcha! Lol.
I'll go by Verizon and pick up a SIM card for the buyer I suppose, and I'll just tell the person at Verizon that I'll activate it myself online... just to be safe.
Or does the SIM have to have a specific number in relation to the new owners account or phone number?
Should I go get the SIM or should I let the new owner get it?
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
Umm. Let them get it. They are only gonna give you one for your own account. This should not be an issue. It should be a given that you get your own sim when you buy a used phone. If they expect you to provide it id say they aren't very inteligent.

Verizon Note 2 With ATT - Flash ATT ROM?

so i left verizon, due to service coverage at work, and am wondering can i flash a ATT ROM now that I'm using GSM sim ONLY now? if so, any special way of doing it or just flash as normal? thanks a ton.
I think that world actually work. The ROM would have the Att modems inside. I would look for one that has the APN settings unlock just in case. Back up always and please report back.

Has anyone successfully switched t-mobile?

As the topic says I am curious if anyone has made the switch to t-mobile and got everything working. There's a thread on the tmo forum about getting the AT&T variant working using QPST but they where asking for the QCN file from our version and I don't know if it's needed or if there's another work around. The AT&T/ TMO thread is here:

The guy that got that working on the att version still needs the qcn. The one he had didn't have all the nv's and was taken with older version qpst. It needs to be 2.7.374 or newer. He's still willing to work on it if you can get that to him.

You will only get edge data unless you are in a reframed area. Right now tmo 4g is on the 1900aws band which the Verizon note doesn't support

They do kind of just not that aws band. If you're in an area with the reframed towers you will 4g I'm not sure about there lte though.
I was only kind if joking though earlier. List your note on craiglist. I got 450 but sold within hours. Go to Walmart and pay 278 on contact with t mobile. Then call t mobile and mitigate your classic plan to a value plan for the 200 fee. You now have 60 a month and 478 for the phone.

I would do that but I am still under contract and the bezel on my note has some nicks from falling out of my pocket before I got a case for it. That's why I am trying to use phone instead of selling.
