Question for the CDMA Verizon Wireless RAZR/Maxx
I side loaded the 211 ICS build just yesterday. Can anyone confirm if the official ota release to public today is the same build as 211? Or did they change anything?
And also does anybody know how to change to the 3G cdma only option? I've tried a few apps at the play store. While they did let me select a cdma only option, it wasn't showing as 3G but showing 1x?

It's the exact same release. Use the Phone Info app from Google Play to set it to CDMA only.

You try rebooting then trying again? Did you try toggling signals then setting ti to CDMA only again?

Yep. After it boots up again it just goes back to 4G LTE. Does the phone info app work for you?

After changing it to cdma only in the app do you do anything else or just back out the app? Walk me through exactly what you did to just be on 3G.

I didn't do step 1 but i used the phone info app. I set it to what you said "CDMA AUTO (PRL). Now I'm on 3G!! Thanks man! Before I just selected "CDMA Only" and that gave me the 1x.
My main reason for wanting just 3G was my cap data plan. I don't have Internet at home and being on 4G LTE kills data faster. Not too concerned about my battery life, I have a RAZR Maxx lol but 3G does make it better and my 3G speeds are not bad at all. Thanks again! Really appreciate it!

Verizon's 3G uses the same radio as voice so you can't talk and surf/download/netflix at the same time.
4G allows you to do both.

Download Any Cut from the market and make a shortcut. Choose "Activity" and scroll down to Phone Info, pick that. Voilà!
"GSM Only" is 2g, "GSM Auto (PRL)" will prefer 3g where available. You don't need 3g unless you're using the data connection, it eats the battery away.

That does randomly happen, I think if you try to use data after longer inactivity (after you were using Wifi for example), it might revert to 3g. Certainly after a reboot though, the standard option seems to be Auto.
Easy enough to change with the shortcut though!

I have the same problem, I am not on AT&T though, I am on bell
Edit: It's actually working now... I have reset my phone since I last tried, as I was having a different issue... however I don't think bell offers 2G???... at least not on my phone, because I get no service... There is a feature built into the phone that allows me to choose if I want "auto", "2G", or "3G"... and when I change it to "2G" same thing happens, no service... not able to call/text (not just no data as would be expected)
Woa, guys! I read somewhere (here on XDA) that there's basically no 2g anymore in Canada, that would be the reason..?

Yeah, that's most likely it, oh well, I guess I am going to have to suffer through always having data hahaha... My battery life is good enough for me anyways!
It isn't that much of an issue if you always get a full 3g signal, you need to be changing to 2g when you're in areas with bad reception. Either way though, I never use 3g unless I need a fast data connection.

to get 4G back follow those same directions except choose whatever it was before choosing "CDMA auto PRL", should be something along the lines of "LTE/CDMA/EvDo" and your back to 4G.

does data work ?
what "little modification" are we talking about

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.

The modem is restricted so you can't change the bands. It's set to switch to the best signal.
The idea of using 2G to save battery consumption is a wives tale. There isn't any difference anymore.
I would hope that's the only reason to want to switch to 2G!
But yeah, with current technology 3G/4G is no longer a battery killer like it once was. Especially on our state of the art awesome Galaxy Notes!
I do not agree with this entirely, because at college I only get 2g all the time! ANd my battery never gets below 75% when I am home it bounces from 3g/4g and even sometimes to 2g I live in a weird area lol...And my battery gets down to 30-35% when I am home doing the same things.....
The modem in the phone is on or off, and it doesn't downshift if it has to run on a lower band. It's like a light bulb -- on or off.
Don't take my word for it, google the topic and you can read what the engineers say.
You can't do the same things with 2G and 4G networks (at least not without pulling your hair out).
I must disagree with you, 2G and 4G switch is available in international GNote. So there is a way to swtch it. And if i am in zone of low 3/4G signal zone, it always switch to 2-3-4 G, so it also make the battery drain faster. In HOX AT&T there is a command you can dial some code and get into menu for switching Bands. There should be somthing like this in Note also.
There is a dial code for this modem but it is a restricted menu. You can't make a selection on it.

To get the option, you would need Samsung modem software and be able to edit the file and unrestrict the band selector. That is something that has never been leaked, unfortunately.

That's actually a solution for this OP who wants 2G on Straight Talk network. If he follows your instructions, because of the hardware, all he will be able to get is EDGE connection for data.
thinking Verizon is having a bad day... cannot connect or force LTE and 3g eHRPD fails then I eventually get evdo A
also...##778# on my thunderbolt used to bring up a menu where I could alter the modern setting to only look for evdo rev a for 3g... which is a life saver in times like this... is that setting hiding somewhere on the DNA?

nope.. on the HTC thunderbolt.. dialing ##778# would initialize an EPST menu where you would select edit mode...
from there at the password prompt you would put in 000000
at the full EPST menu you would select modem settings
in that sub menu.. select Rev A
by default it was set to eHRPD.. but if you changed it to enable, commit the modification and reboot,it would force rev a 3g data which was a godsend when Verizon was having LTE/ eHRPD outages... as they always seem to go hand in hand

from there at the password prompt you would put in 000000
at the full EPST menu you would select modem settings
in that sub menu.. select Rev A
by default it was set to eHRPD.. but if you changed it to enable, commit the modification and reboot,it would force rev a 3g data which was a godsend when Verizon was having LTE/ eHRPD outages... as they always seem to go hand in hand

You could only do that because the thunderbolt had the weirdest radio set up known to man. It had 2 seperate radios in it.
But you can get into EPST with ##778

If I do either of those then wait a while, like 30 seconds to a minute, a menu pops up saying edit mode or view mode. Edit mode requires a password which I don't know, but view mode does not.

I have had lousy service in the Newark <-> Jersey City areas, on and off, for the last two weeks. It's seriously frustrating. Today I had an outage as well. When I do have service, my download speeds are 100kb/s. Why?? Where's my "like Wi-Fi speeds" Verizon keeps saying in their commercial. Ugh.

I'll be damned! on the thunderbolt it appeared quickly...I never waited long enough.
it doesn't appear every time, actually mostly not, but it did finally appear.
the password is 000000.
this is exactly what I needed earlier today
