I bought my Photon used so im lost here. Does the Photon come with a Sprint branded gsm sim card? If so where can I get one?

yes it does! my guess would be get one from Sprint store but, if its missing I would assume its unlocked and rooted so get any aftermarket SIM and save the Sprint data plan!

Hi guys I'm having evo3d sent from America a friend is given me it would it work in the UK with my UK sim. If not is there anything in can do to make it work like changing the firmware to Europe or can I just root it and use custom roms on it

No, if it's from sprint. Sprint phones use cdma technology, so no slot to put your sim in... Lol, anyways, you need a gsm evo 3d, which nobody carries in the US.

Hey guys,
I'm kind of new to android stuff, so bear with me .
About a week back I bought this Motorola Photon 4g for Sprint off craigslist and used the kddi radii trick to make it work on GSM networks, namely T-Mobile. Right now imeon the hybrid 2.3.5 rom, but even when I was in the stock sprint rom, the carrier name randomly shows up as T-Mobil instead of T-Mobile. Is there any way to fix this other than spoofing the carrier name? Thanks for the help!
From what I know, the name is stored in SIM card, try to replace it with carrier.
Thanks, I'll try that. I'm actually planning on doing that soon anyway . The strange thing is it sometimes shows the full name T-Mobile, I'm still trying to figure that out haha

Where is the trick?

My phone does this too, I'm not sure why. To me it seems like it says 'T-Mobil' when signal is pretty weak, but i have overall weak signal in my apartment so it could just be me making a bad guess.
same thing
i also have the same thing, but i haven't noticed it till you have mention it.
i guess it belongs to 2G/3G. coz when you are having connected to 2G it tells you T-mobil
while when you are connected to 3G it tells you T-mobile.
pleas tell me if i'm right
Can you not get tmobiles 4g or is it because bootloader is unlocked?

Tmobiles 4g is HSPA+ which is technically 3g

You guys must be in the refarm area cause the 3g frequencies are the same as the iPhone's. I'm still waiting on that . Btw I got a new SIM and it hasn't said T-mobil yet so maybe it's just a certain kind of sim that does it?

Has anyone tried to use a different carriers sim in the amaze without unlocking it?
I came to Mexico for vacation and bought a phone here to use while I was here..
I didn't unlock my amaze to work with differents sim cards so I thought it wouldn't work.. well one day I got curious and switched out the t-mobile sim for a telcel ( name of the cell company in Mexico ).
Waited for it to boot and to my surprise it works, it has 4g and all.
I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else?..
The phone is S-off btw..

I just bought one today, it's supposed to be unlocked, tried my tmobile sim but nothing,the Mobile Network box is greyed out, what to do?
Did you s-off your device it did you buy UT lie that? If you bought it lie that chances are it was unlocked by that person. If not you at 1 in a million

I'm the one and only owner, I s-off the phone myself, but never unlocked it due to that I don't travel much outside of the U.S.
Yea sms and mms work... Plus 4g speeds here are crazy fast...

Little question
I have an HTC amaze from T-mobile and put in a telcel sim card, i can make and receive calls but i still dont have any luck with the data, APN's already set up and nothing, are you sure that you didnt unlock and only are S-Off?
If you're unbranded, your unlocked! If you're T-mobile branded, you weren't supposed to be unlocked, unless the precious person unloxked it for you.

I am branded, calls working, just missing data....
OK so I bought a HTC Rezound off of a kid at school for $60. The battery on it is bad, but oh well I knew that before I bought it. So there was no 4G LTE sim cars in there. Do I have to have that to unlock the device and put on another carrier.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
You can try activating it with Verizon and they will give you another sim. Hopefully its not red listed.
