Can the Photon 4G be used on AT&T or T-Mobile after unlocking the SIM card slot?
As far as whether or not the GSM radio is locked... no it isn't.
However, the software for the GSM radio is written in such a way that makes the phone "ignore" US based GSM carrier networks.
The TouchPro2, the last Smartphone world phone offering from sprint had this same implementation. It required a custom radio written to get around it.
So you are saying a rooted phone can actually use an AT&T sim or T-Mobile sim?

Not really. Rooted just means you now have admin access to the phone basically, does nothing else.
What he is saying is that the software the controls the radio would have to be rewritten in order to accept US GSM networks.
Whats funny though, is that i went into a no CDMA coverage area 2 days ago, and I got a message on my Photon that asked if I wanted to use the available GSM networks. I allowed it and it roamed off of a GSM network...calls worked great, data was very slow.

Hmm wow, I didn't know that was an option. That's a great perk for the Photon.

You were in the US when you did this? If so what Sim card is in your phone? and do you have the phone roaming set to auto, because the default is any CDMA.

Yes, actually in the west Michigan area. The SIM card is the standard that came with the phone. It was set to automatic when I got it, never actually looked at the roaming settings until I got that message.

Odd, like reddragon72, mine came with roaming settings set to CDMA only.
Based on your experience, though, I've changed mine to automatic, thanks for the tip.

my pleasure, for me it just means im less likely to lose service or drop calls. which very useful. utilizing that feature greatly improves the coverage map.
I would check on this first. For one the roaming agreement that Sprint has is only with Verizon(CDMA). From what I gathered on Sprints website they do not mention who they are in agreement with on roaming in the US but CS told me Verizon is who I would be roaming on. So I would check your account for strange charges before you go crazy using GSM, but at any rate this is awesome info.

Im looking into this as we speak, i actually work for Sprint as a repair tech. So i forwarded the info up to our rep. who is going to check on all this before i end up with overages. i will keep you posted...
Sprint used to have roaming agreements with AT&T, Dobson, Cellular One, etc back in the days of "Analog Roaming". I wonder if something here might be a legacy from that.

This item will put a definite buy in for me on this phone. I work in a fringe cellular area (CDMA and GSM), but the office just installed a GSM repeater for Blackberrys and GSM phones. If I could freely roam on the repeater I would have this phone asap.

That sounds good, but remember if 50% of your calls are roaming three months in a row, or 50% out of 12 month average then they will cut your contract and cancel your account.
I put a working T-mobile SIM in my Photon today and it did not work. It appears that the unlocked status of the phone does not extend to US carriers. I would be interested to see how the included SIM behaves in Canada with Bell or Telus who are roaming partners for Sprint and have both CDMA EvDO Rev A and HSPA+ networks.

if I buy in usa photon and took him to Italy, if I put a sim card of Italian telephone operator, the phone works?

hello Guys,
This may be a simple question I just don't have the simple answer too
I sell my HTC hd2 and wondering to get something new, so I get Motorola photon 4g w/o plan, yesterday it arrives directly from motorola.store for $549
I`m leaving far away from USA, our country is Azerbaijan, Baku. it is 3000m. away from Turkey.
anyway, photon 4g came with his sprint Sim card (with ICC ID code on it)
I took it out and installed our network card, i tried 3 different sim card from different networks, but i can not receive or make any calls, on screen network is in range, but it can not register in network completely,
keep showing:
"contacting Network"
then:
Hands Free Activation
"Your activation could not be completed"
well we do not have here Sprint or AT&T and etc. so i can not call anybody to ask anything
is the tel is block or ? how can i use it with my network sim-cards?
thanks to all in advance, i`m new to motorola.
Call Sprint, there should be a sticker giving you the number on the phone when you buy it. If I answered what you were asking...

If you bought it off-contract, I don't see why you'd need a Sprint account...

Dear Sprint Customer,
Thank you for your inquiry. I am thinking that if you bought a new Motorola Photon you would have needed to activate the phone in the US before you left on your trip. Phones will not activate internationally. I do apologize.
Thank you,
Patty (rd756540)
after that i get in "mobile networks" then "Network Mode" in phone
"Sprint only"
"Any CDMA"
"Any GSM/UMTS"
"Automatic"
well i put on automatic, then network came
after that i gone to "Select Network"
"GSM only - Saves Battery"
"UMTS Only - Better performance"
"Automatic - Default'
(What is i this???
Anyway I Choose automatic - as i said network came and phone is working, but you need to do it after each restart of phone.
Also it also working like in roaming mode, i mean phone showing everything like in roaming.
USSD codes are not working at all
so it is still problem.. i do not know really what to do , any suggestions?
is it any way to install new rom with completely "sprint" things off the phone?
Hello Guys,
I am so desperate and frustrated, hope you can help me!
I dropped my phone from 2 stairways height.
It was working so i didnt care, but when I came home I noticed that I had no reception!
So as I have bought the phone from Germany Amazon.com and using it in Turkey, I had no warranty (even if it said I have!!) I decided to open my SGS2 (I9100) and see if anything was loose. I lifted the pins that touched the middle housing and now I have reception for phone calls all the time thanks God!
But I have no 3G at all, what happens is that is some times shows G in the status bar but never with a + sign near it. I saw + sign only once or twice in the last couple of months.
I called my operator which is Turkcell and they said that my contract is on 3G so no chance on that side. The wierd think is that my phone works with no other SIM card than mine which is 5 years old!
Can anybody help in order to solve my problem? Is there a diagnoses tool that will help me test my SGS2 in order to find the errors?
Thanks for reading guys, I'd really appreciate some help.
Hmm I'd check my APN settings first, make sure they didn't randomly change for some reason. If that failed, I'd factory reset. If that failed I'd flash a new firmware+kernel+modem, and check my APN settings again.
If that failed I'd open it up again, disconenct and clean the antenna wire, reattach and hope for the best.
If that failed I'd suss out what is the most appropriate looking part/area of parts to replace, then replace it with either that specific part, or a pre-assembled part with the surrounding parts attached.
If that didn't work I'd list it on ebay as clearly stating the phone is damaged, outlining the problem and sell it "for parts only". Lots of people pay good money for damaged smartphones. Just make sure any sensitive data/pictures etc have been securely removed before selling it.
The problem with reception was fixed with lifting the pins that touched the middle housing but, stand by :
I think I never had 3G since I bought that phone from Germany.
I feel so stupid!
I read through more and more and I found that article:
androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s/258859-how-enable-850mhz-3g-network-frequency-your-samsung-i9000-galaxy-s.html
It mentioned about the modem frequencies so gave it a try.
dialed the number * # * # 1 9 7 3 2 8 6 4 0 # * # * as stated and bingo!
My modem doesnt list GSM 2100 which is the deault frequency for 3G in Turkey!
But the article doesnt mention how I can ADD GSM 2100 from the menu that dialing that number took me.
Any help with this is appreciated!
First, that article is for am i9000, which is the S1. But that's largely irrelevant because the service menu code still works.
Second, this phone doesn't get GSM 2100. Never has. It gets WCDMA/UMTS 2100. GSM is for voice and 2g, WCDMA is for 3g/HSPA. Looks like you went to the wrong option. (GSM, instead of WCDMA, like the article said.)
Third, you CAN'T add frequencies, on that menu or otherwise.
Thanks.
So why is that my phone connects with only Edge?
Can this be a hardware problem where everything else works?
Maybe these setting are wrong? Or maybe it has a SIM lock? but it works with Turkcell
Is there any manual so that I can these settings_

You said above you don't think you ever had 3g. Maybe your carrier uses 3g frequencies this phone simply doesn't receive.
For example, this phone well never get a 3g signal on T-mobile USA's network, because the phone doesn't receive 1700 UMTS/WCDMA. This is one of two required bands on AWS... Which is the band T-mobile USA uses for 3g and "4g". If your carrier uses AWS for 3g, it won't work on their network either.

No this is not possible. Turkcell is using 2100 Hz.
I have bought 3 phones from amazon.de site. The other 2 phones are working.
I have to get my settings set properly, to make sure its a faulty product, so that I can return it.
There are menu options like HSPA revision, GCF, bank selection, service domain, acquisiton order etc..
Where can I find what they have to be?

In that case, just go back to that service menu, debug screen - phone control - network control - band selection. Make sure this is selected to automatic. You can make sure all available bands for this phone are selected on in combi bands. If they're all selected on, then it sounds like it could be a hardware issue.
EDIT to add: OR it could be a modem issue. Maybe try flashing different modems?

Can you even do that when it's locked? I'm just wondering about the remote possibility that all the NA versions are the same hardware but AT&T just says that theirs is quadband.

I asked a Bellevue Square Microsoft Store employee in Bellevue, Washington. He said the 920 is pentaband. I asked him if it would work on T-Mobile and he said "Theoretically." Obviously the phone is still locked...
To be honest with you, I don't believe him 100%. It may be pentaband capable, but locked to quadband.

Total guess here, but I seriously doubt that these 920's for different carriers are going to be limited at the hardware level. I imagine the most cost efficient method for making these things is using a single design, same chips all around. Then, you lock it down via software.
I am sooo tempted to get one of these, but I refuse to buy from AT&T if they're going to hold me hostage. If the unlock is withheld during the exclusivity period, maaybe I can see that... but if they won't do it after that, I would be seriously pissed. I am on Tmo now, and it makes more sense for me to get the 8x Global phone ATM.

Obnoxious carrier branding is really unsightly. I seriously hope Telstra does not do this in my country.
Personally I'm pissed the AT&T one is locked because I want that glorious cyan matte finish.
Really seems like there is only one flavour of the 920 and it is pentaband.

So, back to the original subject: anybody know if it's possible to really verify the bands while a phone is locked and if it's possible, could at least one of the vast horde who already have the AT&T version please do it?

It's more difficult for you guys in the US because TMobile has old frequencies that will still be detected by the phone (ie. 2G). It's easier here in Canada because Wind has no fallback frequencies outside of the AWS spectrum. Basically, if you go into the manual network selection screen and see Wind you know the phone supports AWS.

Doesn't WP8 show anywhere the connection speed like E for Edge or 3G?
Well I can confirm that it works with 3g speeds on t-mobile except it's shotty... my phone will go to E randomly and the only way to fix it is to go to settings for cellular and switch data speed options. Which is lame. The phone is defective anyway cause the headphone jack doesnt always work so it's going back.
Wish I didn't pay for next day saturday delivery. Annoying.

Maybe you're in an area where T-Mo is refarming their bands to include 1900 MHz? That could explain spotty 3G, even if the phone doesn't have the 1700 MHz band enabled.
We're you using a T-Mobile SIM or roaming or what?
Did you unlock to try on T-mobile US? I am with everyone here that I want to to stay with T-mobile's lower rate, but really want the 920.

Nokia lists the supported frequencies on the box, I would check that first to see if it's even listed as pentaband.
I just killed my Nexus and I'm not eligible for a discount with Verizon until 8/22. I'm looking at the S4, full price in my case, I guess (sigh!) Does anyone know if the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 comes with GSM unlocked? (I remember reading that the Verizon iPhone 5 does and can be used abroad by simply swapping a local SIM card.)
During my trial purchase on the Verizon website, it asked me if I wanted to keep the current SIM number (yes), and later if I wanted the phone implemented for worldwide GSM (do you think they mean through their own services, hence locked GSM, or open to any carrier abroad)?
Thanks for the input.

All you have to do is give them a call and let em know you will be traveling abroad, they will adjust your plan accordingly. I dunno if the S4 is global capable though, hardware wise.... Make sure you call them before using it abroad, failure to do so will most likely result in a massive roaming bill....
If you look on the hardware specs, it says its a Global Ready phone on Verizon's website. It has GSM also. I think it is possbile to put in a att SIM and go. Don't hold me to it though

Yeah, I believe it's FCC required because of auction rules for the 700mhz band Verizon LTE is using.
That said, you may still need root to enable new APNs.

For now all I know is you can get WorldWide plan from verizon and you basically will be paying to verizon but you will use that other carrier as an atena... Cool, but it's VERY EXPENSIVE. Calls internet everything. Is there a way to somewhat hack sgs 4 verizon to use it internationally without needing that stupid expensive plan.
The SiMs are very cheap and the phone plans are very cheap in Europe, sometimes it's even more profitable to buy an unlocked phone just to travel.
So, does anyone know yet how to hack it ? There was a way like that on SGS 3.
I upgraded on Verizon and then traveled to Europe on the same day. All was working well with Verizon in the US. I then put in a sim card I bought when I arrived, and it worked for calling as soon as it started (no changes required). The add apn setting was greyed out, but it worked anyway. I put in the appropriate apn settings and it now does mobile data, voice, and sms. I dont know about MMS, yet.
I did all this without root access, but I went ahead and did the root procedure this morning.
I have to go to another country in 2 weeks, and I may get a different sim. If so, I will update after that.
I do have a persistant warning in the status bar telling me I am using a non-Verizon sim, but no other ill effects.

Hey, thanks for info. Are you using Verizons World Data plan ? If not, when you come back to US is it possible that you will get a pretty large bill for using outside of US ? What type of internet are you recieving, 3g, HSPA or maybe Edge ? What countries have you tried this in yet ?
Also where did you get the phone, pre order or in store?
Thank you, I'm asking so many questions because I really wanted to get an upgrade but I will be flying to Europe for this whole summer and I thought it wouldnt worth it right now.
No, I am not using Verizon's plan (as far as I know). I have a local prepaid sim and phone number with prepaid data on a gsm network (T-Mobile) and so I do not receive calls on my US Verizon number - they go straight to Google voice answering service. I get a H+ symbol for data when I am in an area with good reception, and 3g elsewhere. So far, I have only tried it around Berlin.
I bought the phone in the store.
