I have an Electrify,which is i guess a re-branded photon w/o 4g, and would like google talk video chat.I heard the photon got an update and was wondering if anyone could give me the new Google talk with video chat apk. Or whatever is need to install that.Or at least point me in the right direction. Thanks!

If you check for the latest OTA Update it enables Talk with video.. I updated mine and to test it I just had a little video chat with my neighbor and he was on his laptop just using the gmail webpage... kinda cool! but blurry though lol
EDIT: My bad guys.. I Just noticed the question was for the electrify .. =(

I've tried a million different things, the last was a program on the marketplace called "[root] talk 1.3 installer" I don't know if that,or a combination of everything I did got it to work, and by work I mean I only hear static, and the picture is like 5 big pixels.I think my best bet is to wait for US Cellular to roll out an update, which is to say buy a new phone

Furthermore, cdexsw from droidhive.com said that Best Buy has confirmed the update as well.

The Razr was the Verison flagship device and they put a lot of effort into selling them. GSM carriers have way more phones that they sell and i doubt they sold as good as the CDMA version so they are making the CDMA version first
Motorola is sending emails to RAZR and Maxx owners to participate in soak tests.

Funny, I figured CDMA would land before GSM simply because the CDMA RAZR is a single-carrier flagship device, but there was all that hoo-ha a while back when Moto's update page said 'Planning and development'..

I hope its released the 4th. I hate not having ICS on my phone. The ROMs are ok but they will be awesome when we get moto drivers!
Excuse my possible ignorance, but if one of us gets in the soak test can't we use a system dump and compile it as a ROM?

***UPDATE 6/26/2012***
Ok, not all the info that I got before was 100% correct. It looks like RAZR / MAXX is unlocked only for Global(GSM) use which is outside of USA. The Tmobile and ATT sims are not fully working as of right now.
We have couple amazing Devs which are working to resolve this issue.
Please PM me if you want me to update the OP.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the Bionic forum people found a way to activate disabled feature of couple 4g verizon phones to be able to use it on GSM networks.
Can someone test it please?

Actually the Bionic does have a GSM radio.
The Razr, 4, Bionic all have the same Qualcomm global radio and a separate LTE radio.
The only thing preventing the Razr, Droid 4 or Bionic from connecting to GSM is the firmware.
The Droid 4 is scheduled for GSM upgrade.

I was under the impression that we just needed the unlock code. Once we have it from say...att, then we put the sim in,enter the code and good to go...maybe its not that easy but on YouTube it looks pretty close lol.
As far as I know it's not that easy due to the fact that the GSM modem itself is disabled. Unless your talking about roaming onto the LTE network. Though ATT uses different frequencies.

Thank you I will follow it later on.
this could get interesting
Okay so, here's my predicament..I'm currently using an Atrix 2 with a regular sized SIM card and wanted to test this out on a busted VZW Razr I got from work (there's a huge crack in the screen and it was just collecting dust). If I went into an AT&T store and bought a micro-SIM, would it work?
The only reason I'm confused is because all I know that AT&T uses the micro-SIMs for is the iPad; I don't know if the structure of the SIM card changes to accomodate just data, or if voice will be able to be transmitted as well.
Att SIM card works on Verizon RAZR! Just needs little modification. Does not even require root! Thanks to the bionic forum

does data work ?
what "little modification" are we talking about
write up ? link ?
The procedure...
Data does work because I get an "H". But i choose to turn off data because i do not want to be billed.
I am on ics.
This is what I did (modified from the bionic forum)
- got an att sim card activated with a basic gsm phone
- turned off razr
- replaced the Verizon sim card with att Sim card
- turned on phone. You will get an "unknown sim card" error. Press ok
- go to system setting>more> mobile networks> select GSM/UMTS
- click back button, select access point names, select AT&T US (wap.cingular)
- press *#*#4636#*#*
- go to phone information, select WCDMA preferred, below it, turn off radio then turn it back on, exit by pressing home
- turn off data sync in the mobile data networks. Also turn off wifi.
- wait up to 30 minutes or more to let the phone connect to the network

I turned on data then I lost the signal. It would not come back even though the phone reads the access point name. I think either AT&T or Verizon saw that I'm using an unauthorized sim card and disabled the signal.

That's what I figured. Cellzealot is working on a hack but it doesn't look very promising - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619563. They do have a hack for the Bionic to use 3G on AT&T. I set my little bros phone up a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, the hack seems to only work on GB and not ICS. Most Moto global phones can be unlocked for AT&T but since the Razr wasn't officially released as a global phone and they basically only announced global support because they couldn't patch it on ICS (my opinion, not confirmed), the Razr is different.

From the bionic forum is where I saw that moto phones will work if the GSM radio is installed and enabled. Being updated to ics, Verizon enabled Gsm radio to have used as a global phone.

I haven't followed it as closely as I once did, but the Droid 3 is completely hackable because AT&T has a similar device. So I purchased the unlock code, flashed the GSM radio and it was done. TBH created a hack for the Droid Pro that would unlock it (old file, not recently updated) similar to the unlock file that works for the Bionic. They also have a Razr unlock file that I believe changes some settings to GSM (I don't believe it's a true hack just setting changes) but it doesn't unlock data in the US. It only allows data overseas. One user in the thread I linked to reported picking up data in the US but only because he's close to Canada and AT&T was roaming to Canadian towers. That's further proof that Verizon and US GSM networks have enabled some sort of block that is yet to be cracked. Cellzealot is a pretty smart guy. If I had to guess (that is IF it can be hacked), he'll be the guy to do it.
A general consensus across the board is that ICS has changed the radio handling which has made sim unlocking much more difficult and patched previous hacks. Again, I'm just paraphrasing what I've read from Cellzealot. He's your guy for more information.

Hi peetr! Thank you for your responce. My system build before flashing was (198_7)-1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_7-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf This is what I was on before I rsd'ed the 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.5-4.5.1A_SUN_USC_19.0-19-release-keys-signed-USC-US
I accidentally flashed my photon to the 2.3.5.usc electrify rom as well and would love a solution if there is one besides taking it back to sprint. I believe my warranty is voided now and being a full time student i can't afford to pay for them to fix my phone. any solutions ?
Talk to motorola, just tell them phone doesn't work. I got new refurbished phone from them.
