im wondering if this phone has a MEID for CDMA uses....im trying to flash this phone to metropcs but i cant seem to get a MEID only the IMEI....
if anyone has any info please help....
I have 2 MaXX's on order..
My son has a bionic.. on the box for the bionic, there is an IMEI number and no MEID
The VZW rep said the SIM card is for 4G but he didn't seem to know much..
This is al li know for now but I've wanted to research it a bit myself
I think you still need a sim to activate the phone. Even though it is for 4g data purposes. You need the sim even if you dont plan on using verizon's 4g.

Even you are able to flash to metropcs you can't use metros 4G since Verizon and metro 4G networks are different. You will be stuck with metro 1x service.

thanks i didnt know this, i have the 4g lte sim card in there anyways i heard taking it out is the VERY last step after its already on and active.....
im just having trouble getting it into the system to turn it on onto my existing metro number
I honestly don't get why anyone will pay full price for a Verizon phone just to port it to Metro.

Motorola phones have an IMEI and MEID.
The MEID = IMEI - Last Digit

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+?

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.

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?

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)

I got my Evo LTE in and wanted to know if it is capable of being flashed to work on verizon. Family member has a verizon account and I wanted to get my phone (EVO LTE) added to their account.
I saw a video on youtube showing it was flashed to verizon prepaid but I wanted to do it for post paid. Also that video was a sales ad and not a how to. Is this even possible since its a new phone?
Most likely yes but I doubt if LTE works. This phone is currently flashable to cricket, metro PCs, and boost mobile.

Ya its technically compatible, if you can jump through the hoops regarding their ESN datanase. However, LTE will NOT wotk, there's no need to guess. This phone is compatible with 1900MHz LTE, Verizon uses 700MHz (one of the reasons it achieves such great penetration).

Sure if you want 3g speeds then yes you need a Verizon donor like the fascinate. Plus you need a cheap Verizon prepaid phone. One that's not activated yet. You can a fascinate that's currently active just have to back up its settings so you can restore it when your finished with it. But the prepaid phone needs not be activated

Do you have any more information about how I can go about doing this?
It's is possible it would require a reprogramming of the DSP. This has NEVER been done other than MTF.
If someone can obtain a similar phone with the SAME chipset on Verizon it could be cloned.
Don't hold you breath, but I think all LTE chipsets are capable of the entire spectrum meaning it's software.
Any word on this?
I'm also looking to switch to Verizon and I don't like any of the phones in Verizons line up
Would Verizon be able to do this for me or is this something that I have to do

Bad ESN/IMEI can't be activated. The International Mobile Equipment Identifier (IMEI) number is a global base. When you report a phone lost or stolen it's put on the list as non-activateable if I understand how it works. You'll have to buy a new phone or find out why the IMEI is locked and try to get around it.
I have a Droid X2 laying around and was wondering if I was able to switch this phone to a Verizon prepaid or any other pay as you go service?

I'm pretty sure it will run on pageplus. They use Verizon's system so the coverage and service would be the same. As long as the esn is good on it.

Whats needs to be done to the phone before attempting to activate on PagePlus?
basically just filled out the account stuff here: http://www.pagepluscellular.com/Online Store/Activate.aspx
once that was done I had the activate phone thing come up and dial out with verizons horrid music..
But I bought mine used lil over a month ago, from cowboom for 150$. (might not be a great deal, but was with AT&T before, 2g towers locally = max of about 150MB used a month, and miserable lol)

You are using a Droid x2 on Page Plus Cellular? I've been looking to go prepaid but most prepaid networks that allow you to bring in other carrier's phones (the X2 is Verizon's) require that it be a GSM phone so you can use the new carriers SIM card. The X2 is a CDMA phone, and they don't make a GSM version. I'm curious how you got it working, because Verizon is driving me nuts and I'm looking to switch.
---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------
I did a ton of research on trying to bring my X2 to a prepaid network, and on all the networks I checked it couldn't be done. Then again I've never heard of Page Plus so maybe they can. I looked at Simple Mobile, Boost, and Straight Talk and they all require a GSM phone if you want to bring in your own.
page plus resell only verizon services. so cdma only.

I think your phone has to be rooted for this to work
I'm on page plus too. Root isn't needed nor any flashing involved. Just activate on their site or call in. Doesn't even need clear esn.

Definitely has to have a clean esn in order for any vzw device to be on PagePlus.
I gave my X2 to my roommate so he could set it up with page plus. He's coming from straight talk. They couldn't get the X2 to activate. Do you guys think the problem could be from the X2 or more likely from somewhere else?

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.
