Gents,
I am in China, many people here purchased Verizon XT912 (CDMA2000), China Telecom's 3G network is also CDMA2000. The phone device is absolutely beautiful and elegant, but the only and most fatal problem is that XT912 can't access to 3G network of China Telecom, while everything else including call and text message work perfectly. However, folks who use SIM card of Jiangsu Province (similar to a State in US) have been lucky enough to access to 3G network, while others including my self can't enjoy the 3G network. There are many many fans here in China eagerly waiting for solving this problem, I am writing to seek your help. Your efforts shall be greatly appreciated!
Any success ??
I am going to get the handset soon & will try this handset with CDMA2000 card (UIM).

Best to check droidrazr.com
They have plenty of threads on the Verizon razr (XT912) and some have tried to it get working on other LTE/CMDA providers in USA.
Think your answer should be somewhere close to that.
Maybe as simple as upgrading the radio?
Maybe as simple as inputting APN settings.

China mobile is different to China Telecom
CM uses TD-SCDMA and CT uses standard CDMA
Anyways my CDMA phone doesnt even allow me to input APN, just dials #777 and it goes on...still not use to how it works.
Read the link properly. There's 3 China network Apn including yours.
Settings -> wireless and networks -> mobile networks -> Acess point names <<<<< Enter the APN here

Hello guys,
From my previous experiments, these multi radio GSM phones just don't work as good as their GSM only variants. What is the situation for photon about this ?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Received a unit yesterday, I had ordered via eBay. Works perfectly on both 3G and HSDPA. No problems with either voice or data.
Since I haven't been able to activate the phone via Sprint:
1. It tries to connect to Sprint each time I boot it. I need to then make changes to network settings so that it can log on to the local GSM networks.
2. Each time I send a text message, it reminds me I might incur international roaming charges.
Rest is super.

Hi all. I just bought a XT912 unable to get any 3G/data connection. I'm from Singapore and the bands are 2G-900/1800 and 3G-2100. I saw the specs on gsmarena stated that this phone supports 2100mhz band so I don't understand why I'm able to get any data connection. Ive set the mobile network to wcdma. Voice call is working well. Only problem is no data. Any inputs will be appreciated. Thanks!
Update
Problem solved. Added the user and pw in apn.
Did you set up any APN?
Hi Everyone,
Before I left the states for my trip, I added on global roaming plan. It was like $30 for 100MB or something as pathetic as that.
Given that I am running the latest CM nightly, I could not get it to connect to the Internets.
I bought a T-Mobile HR sim in Croatia and that worked quite well.
However, when I got to France, and got an Orange FR SIM, I could not re-up as you have to register the SIM card. 35euro down the drain!!
So now, I would like to see if there is some APN info I need to set up for my Verizon SIM card in order to get global roaming to work.
If anyone could point me in the right direction of a solution I would greatly appreciate it!
I'll be in France for the next 5 days, and will be riding bikes, so having a map and drive directions are a key.

If you are able to add an APN which I believe you can on a CM rom check out this website. There are a couple different settings for Orange sims and this was the generic. Settings for Orange - France
From this website, http://www.unlockit.co.nz/mobilesettings/settings.php?id=49 These are the settings to enable to use Data, MMS and WAP services on a mobile phone on the Orange's mobile network in France.
I haven't been able to test this myself but ran into your same problem a couple months ago in France with an Orange sim. If this works please let me know for the future.

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten it to work
Ah well, I'm back in the States, so it does not matter much anymore.
If anyone needs 10euro worth of data for their Orange F prepaid, I have a code for you.
For future reference you wouldn't use Verizon's global plan with a local sim..,it would be one or the other. To roam, you just turn the phone on using your regular sim...the phone will pick up whatever network Verizon has a roaming agreement with. If you want to use a local sim (generally a much cheaper option as 100MB for $25 is terrible) you will only connect to that network and will get a local phone number etc.
From my Note 2 running Beans 21
I'm on Net10 and have been in activation hell for most of this month. I'll spare you the gory details of their wonderful customer service and get to the point--
I have a SGS3-I9300 unlocked and operating in north America. My phone is not LTE capable. When I first activated the phone using their phone number I was instructed to use the APN settings I've seen posted here before:
Name: Net10
APN: tfdata
MMSC: http://mms-tf.net
MMS Proxy: mms3.tracfone.com
MMS Port: 80
APN Type: default, supl, mms
These settings are also the ones I'm prompted to enter when using the Net10 APN config app.
I then wanted to port my old number and they sent me a new SIM card programmed with that number. After installing the new SIM I noticed very limited network availability & no internet via phone. Eventually they talked me through registering the new SIM and gave me new APN settings:
Name: Net10
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.33
MMS Port: 80
(APN Type not described)
My phone is again receiving 3G and connecting to the web at speeds similar to what I had with the previous SIM/APN settings but that cingular reference really threw me for a loop. What do these settings mean?
Cingular is the old name (or original company before merger, something like that) of AT&T, whose networks Net10 is using. I'm using Straight Talk, my APN settings are very similar to this.

So was the CSR giving me settings off an old script, or is this what's required for my international phone to work properly in north America?

I would say neither completely, the APN settings vary based on the carrier. Net10 uses multiple carriers' networks, so it's no surprise that a different SIM needed different settings.

To put a finer point on it--why does "cingular" appear in any APN setting when the company hasn't existed for years? If you try to find cingular.com it redirects to att. Why use a defunct company name/address in current APN settings?
I'm usually able to figure out the logic to tech issues but a search for "net10 APN settings for at&t" yields a bewildering array of conflicting advice from "experts" on websites, blogs, forums, and netzines. Even the NET10 Data Settings app in the Google Play Store gave me different settings each of the 2 times I tried it (neither worked and I still couldn't send or receive picture messages). On the Net10 forum there are lots of posts seeking help and all of them get handled by PM with nothing posted publicly. One of their reps in my PM explained that each phone requires different APN settings depending on its capabilities, network accessed and geographic area. If that's true--why bother listing settings YOU found to work if they won't work for anyone else?

In answer to the first question, because that would involve creating issues with phones that worked on the network before the name change. (Obviously all very old phones, but some people DO still use them)
And as far as people posting their settings, most don't know that the settings can differ between phones.

The Cingular provisioning first has to redirect to the AT&T servers. I can see no reason to continue using obsolete references.

Like I said, it's compatibility. The text you see is just a representation of an IP address, so there is no redirection.

I love this phone....there, I said it. But it's driving me crazy.
I bought it from a Chinese retailer, who shipped it with X821 firmware, but the box states that it's an X820. I doubt there is any difference in the hardware.
I would have left everything as it was, but I can't seem to make phone calls (don't have a data plan yet...yeah, I know....) with anything other than 2G, and that is about to go extinct. When I set it to WCDMA, it shows a UMTS connection, with no carrier designation, but the tower is the same one I connect to with 2G. The phone does sometimes show an AT&T 3G connection in the status bar, but I can't make calls, even though I have full signal. When I place the same SIM in my old HTC Inspire, the same monitoring app shows "UMTS - AT&T HSDPA+" and works just fine.
I'm at my wits end. I have rooted, installed TeamSpain recovery, replaced the firmware with the X829 and even tinkered with the frequency configurations through DFS Studio (which did a lot of complaining, and I'm still not sure if the changes stuck 100%). I also played with APN settings and tried the SIM in different slots, both alone, and with another SIM. And after all of that, still no progress in getting this phone to use a 3G or 4G connection to make calls. If I don't set it to "GSM only", no phone calls in or out. I'm essentially right under a tower, so signal shouldn't be an issue.
If anyone is using the same provider in the US, and is not having these kinds of issues, I'd really appreciate hearing what firmware you are using, and/or what you did to get things working.
I am using it on x820 with official stock 0.17s firmware, and did a dirty flash to cuoco92's 17s firmware. Everything works including HD voice calls, and full LTE.

I tried this, as well as the Remix ROM. In fact, I think I've tried just about everything, without success. At one point, I had one of the apps indicating a 4G connection, but the phone diagnostics showed GSM (2G). Even the apps aren't all sure what to make of what's going on with the connections reported by this phone.
Currently on the cuoco92 v35 ROM. When WCDMA is enabled, I see simply a good UMTS connection , sans carrier name, in the "Network Cell Info Lite" app, and no ability to make calls. I also often (but not always) see the "AT&T 3G" sign. 4G or LTE never shows at all, even though the diagnostics show that the phone is communicating with an LTE transmitter, when preferred network is set to "unknown". It won't even let me set things like "LTE only".
Any chance you could set your phone to WCDMA and see what the "Network Cell Info Lite" app shows you? Anyone else with this phone on AT&T?
BTW, I am now using a data plan, which I thought might make a difference. It doesn't. EDGE data only for me . New SIM card is on the way, but my hopes aren't high.
Is it possible for a Chinese seller to have borked the phone so thoroughly with their x821 ROM (it's an x820 marked phone), that it keeps any subsequent radios from flashing properly? I don't know how/why it would work for some and not others.
Starting to really dislike this "phone"......it's more of tablet at this point.
Thanks.
I think APN is not set for AT&T
try this:
"Main steps

Thanks, but I wish it were so simple. I have tried this, and other APN settings. None work to get this phone to be usable on anything other than 2G.
I just received and activated the replacement SIM. Still no improvement. While typing this, I have Network Cell Info Lite app running, and with the Set Preferred Network Type showing "Unknown" in the phone's diagnostic screen, It will switch randomly between "EDGE AT&T" (which works fine) and "UMTS -" (which is useless). Both have strong signals. For a split second before it switched to "UMTS-", the app showed "GPRS AT&T", but only for a split second before it kicks over to "UMTS-".
I wish someone using this "phone" on AT&T in the US, would run this app to compare notes. It may be that that the phone works fine on a full implementation of LTE (i.e. in locations where AT&T have already deprecated 2G) but not in other areas. Still, that doesn't seem to explain why this phone seems unable to register on the same 3G network, used easily by my other phone, with the very same APN settings and SIM.
You would have to call att and check if they turned our phone on to use lte. If your phone is not "registered" as an LTE capable phone it wouldn't be able to pick it up. This phone has all the bands needed for AT&T because I am using it now. All LTE work straight out the box, and i'm on the latest 19s cn rom

I'm a bit confused. Is this what you did to achieve proper function of this device? I.e. calling AT&T and getting them to do this for you? My conversation with their tech person didn't seem to bear fruit in this regard.
Also, which slot do you have the SIM card in? I've used the stock 17s and now on cuoco92 v35 ROM. There definitely seems to be a difference in how the network settings behave, based on the location of the SIM. At one point, after selecting BAND 6 (when it would let me), the phone showed a constant "AT&T 3G" connection, but it was useless. No calls and no data.
