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.

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)

was wondering if this could be possible cause i was reading the forums and found someone that did it by flashing the ap to the verizon razr if you could help me out that would be great thanks
It's not possible. Verizon uses CDMA, EVDO and LTE. AT&T uses GSM and UMTS. Completely different technologies. However, if you can get an XT910, a GSM version of the RAZR, you can use it on AT&T (this is what I have).

im actually looking into this because my cousin has just left Verizon for att and it is possible they use sim cards and people have reported it working im not sure on many details of it yet but its out there just google "verizon droid razr on at&t"
look here http://blog.laptopmag.com/ics-world-phone-capabilities-come-to-verizons-droid-razr-and-razr-maxx
You cannot do that after the ICS update. With ICS, you can roam onto global GSM networks but many people have reported that you cannot change the default network from Verizon.
From everything I've heard the xt912 has the appropriate radios to connect with at&t cell towers but the usage of this feature is being blocked by vzw. Now I don't know if a custom rom like cm9 would allow for this or not.

I believe the open is talking about using an at&t sim card on an at&t plan, not just roaming on their bandwidth

RAZR on AT&T network
Yes it is possible. I did it. The only thing is that I only use the phone for calls and texts and WiFi for data. In the bionic forum, they tell you to download Radiocomm. I did not do that. AlI did was just change the setting to gsm/utms network and placed the AT&T sim card and waited for 15-30 minutes for the phone to connect
Btw, I'm on ics.

So I just imported a Razr Maxx from Clove Technologies in the UK. From all the frequency specs on the Internet, this phone should work flawlessly on AT&T for both 2G and 3G.
However, I am noticing that data is very slow on the device and sometimes says it has no data connection even though the phone is showing HSPA+ and full signal. Am I missing something? Is AT&T not fully supported. Also, the APN setting appears to be set to ATT correctly (wap.cingular).
I really like the phone but the data problems are frustrating.
Thanks,
Brad
were you able to get it sorted out?
I'm planning on buying an international Maxx to use on Red Pocket (AT&T MVNO)
It works but noticed the 2G to 3G switching seemed to freeze the data connection. I changed it to 3G only and its much better. Love the phone.

Mind posting some speed test results ?
Oh, so it drops data when going from EDGE to HSPA?
Have you received any updates on the international model?
Sorry for all the questions
Sure. Give me a couple hours and I will post.
Yes it was going from HSPA and HSPA+ to Edge GSM.
No updates yet but I love it. I actually came over from a GNEX running ICS and don't mind 2.3. I like Motorola's skin.

I have the XT910 version of the RAZR and was wondering. What does it mean?
Can I use it on TMOBILE?
Sent from my XT910 using XDA
pretty much yes.
the xt910 is the gsm version of the razr.
it only gets 3g on at&t frequencies.
so you'll be stuck on edge unless t-mobile refarms 3g in your area (you also may need to cut your sim as the razr uses a micro sim, the only difference that i know of is size)
I put NY Sim in but it still said, no Sim. Ima go get an official one. So I wont be able to use tmobiles 3g or 4g?

The Droid Razr XT910 only has 3G and HSDPA (evolved 3G or "fake" 4G) so no LTE no matter what your carrier supplies.
I dont want lte. But will it work on tmobiles 3g or 4g? And does it automatically means its "unlocked"

The Droid Razrs from verizon will be unlocked for gsm global use within next ICS update. Some users in sone versions of the leaked ics are reporting its fully working thought gsm networks.
Hope this is the info you're looking for.

Kinda but thanks for the reply. I already have a GSM version of the RAZR, NOT the Verizon branded version. So shouldn't my phone work with Tmobile out the box and also even on GB 2.3.6
Which is what it came wit. I cant even install Verizon roms on mines w/o the gsm patch I guess

It will work on T-Mobile's 1X network, EDGE. You cannot get 3G unless you are using AT&T in the US because the XT910 doesn't support T-Mobile's LTE, HSPA, or 3G frequencies.

Oh! I see. Read the above post from [TSON] its an accurate information.
BTW. It's 'Droid Razr XT910' in OP but all 'Droid' phones are from verizon. Your's are Motorola Razr XT910. This may be usefull for future reference.

Ok..was playing around with apns on my phone today. I was able to receive but not send. I'm now able to receive and send on the stock app for messaging on ICS.
THIS IS FOR STOCK ROM BUT LET ME KNOW IF IT WORKS ON CUSTOM ROMS OR JB. I'm currently using 4.0.4 while i did this on a stock ROM.
So here is what you need to
1. Dial ##program & then enter the spc(all zero)
2. Go to the apn control then select apn config edit.
3. Then select the apn called ALU TEST SIM INTERNET.
4.you don't need to change all the other settings just do this.
MMSC=http://mms.mycricket.com/servlets/mms
MMS PROXY = wap.mycricket.com
MMS PORT =8080
5. Press menu then save. Now restart phone.
You should now have working (send/receive) mms on the stock Android app for ICS.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS WORKS FOR YOU ON JB OR CUSTOM ROMS. THIS IS ON THE STOCK ROM.
Also found out editing the ALU CBS apn with the same above helps also.

It would be awesome if this can be figured out... since Verizon has locked out GSM, I can't use my Straight Talk service anymore (sad, considering that most other phones would come with US unlocked) and I really don't want to pay over 100 bucks a month for Verizon...

Didn't know you could use gsm on the RAZR? I'm using the xt912 version. So far i know this works on atleast 4 different RAZR phones I've tested. 2 of mine and 2 people from the cricket store where my friends work. Both mine are on stock roms, 1 from the store was on stock and the other was on an Eclipse rom. Looks promising but I'm not Gunna count my chickens until i know for sure this is a good workaround.

It doesn't but it gives me a cheaper option than Verizon for service if I can't wrangle in my minute usage and keep it under 450 anytime... lol. I was just pointing out that if I had (insert almost any other Verizon 4G LTE phone here), I would be able to keep my 45 dollar StraightTalk plan and use one of their microSIM cards... Getting MMS working on Cricket on the RAZR would give me a slightly cheaper option than Verizon but more expensive than my StraightTalk was.

Which Razr do you have? I have the Verizon razr maxx and am using it on page plus. There are directions on how to flash it, or you can check on ebay. There are people who will do it remotely for you. If you have a gsm version, you can use it with straight talk, just change the apn settings.
